Chapter 219 I’m Not the County Magistrate
The villagers immediately recognized the oversized carriage: "Isn't this Mr. Zhou?"
"Master, your friend from the capital is here again!"
Zhao Xingjian: “…”
Why is this child haunting me?
As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhou Huaining, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, stepped on a footstool and got off the carriage with a smile on his face.
"Hello, folks! Long time no see. How are you?"
"All good!"
"Mr. Zhou, didn't you return to the capital? Did you come here from the capital?"
Zhou Huaining waved his hand, "Why go back to the capital? I won't go back unless my senior brother does."
Everyone looked at Zhao Xingjian and laughed.
Zhao Xingjian sighed and walked over. "How long are you going to keep messing around? You didn't go back to the capital, so where have you been for over a month?"
"That's not important, Senior Brother." Zhou Huaining looked around and said something else, "Don't you want to go back to the capital? I want to be like you, a rootless duckweed."
Zhao Xingjian was so angry that his temples were flashing with pain.
This Marquis Wuping can't manage his son well and always comes to harm him!
"Let's go, don't waste time." The head of the village ordered everyone.
"Hurry up!" The villagers pushed Qin Erzhu and others.
"Wow, is there something exciting to watch? You've come at the right time today!" Zhou Huaining stretched out his hand, and Nong Yue handed him a handful of shelled melon seeds.
Zhou Huaining ate melon seeds, shaking one leg as he began to eat the melon. "Brother, three women and one man? Old, middle-aged and young? Country people really know how to have fun. Heihe Village is indeed more exciting than the capital!"
Zhao Xingjian's face turned dark, and he walked straight to the Ye family and ignored him.
…
Qin Erzhu's lips trembled, "Still going...where to?"
Qin Erzhu's feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, and his eyes were blank.
From the moment Zhou Huaining appeared, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
The villagers kicked him a few times, "Why are you playing dumb? Are you itching for trouble again? Of course, we should go to the county government office!"
"Why go to the county government office?" Qin Erzhu grinned and started crying.
The county magistrate is right in front of me, and you still play tricks on me like this. This is really bullying!
"This guy is like a rusty anvil, he deserves a beating!"
"Just loosen his bones!"
The villagers thought he was trying to cheat and punched him.
Qin Erzhu was beaten so hard that he screamed like a ghost, "Sir County Magistrate, please save me! They are going to kill me!"
When the villagers heard this, they beat him even more fiercely, "You think the county magistrate is your father? He will come when you call him!"
"That's right!" Zhou Huaining stepped forward to help punch and kick, "The county magistrate doesn't have a son like you!"
He hadn't fought for a long time and his hands were itching.
Qin Erzhu was surrounded and beaten, covering his head and screaming.
Li slid down to her knees and shoved in front of Zhou Huaining. "Sir, County Magistrate, why are you hitting me? You are our father and mother! Even if we do something wrong, we are still your people!"
Heihe Villagers: "What?"
Mr. Zhou is the county magistrate?
Zhou Huaining, who was fighting hard, suddenly froze.
Oh my god! Was he recognized?!
But the last punch still hit Qin Erzhu's cheek mercilessly.
Qin Erzhu said in disbelief: "Sir, the county magistrate???"
Why is the county magistrate, who loves his people like his own children, beating him?
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop the car." Zhou Huaining withdrew his hand, his face calm and his heart calm, "But you recognized the wrong person, I'm not the county magistrate."
"What are you talking about, County Magistrate?" Qin Erzhu and Li shouted, "We live in the county town and have seen you more than once!"
"The guy in town is my twin brother." Zhou Huaining said nonsense seriously, "We look exactly the same, but he is him and I am me. You guys should open your eyes wide."
"Ah?" Qin Erzhu and Li's eyes widened.
But no matter how you look at it, the person in front of me looks like the county magistrate!
Qin Erzhu looked at Wu Yongchen and Xing Nongyue not far away with uncertainty, "Then those three..."
Aren’t those three the county magistrate’s servants?
"They?" Zhou Huaining said casually, "I borrowed them for use."
Anyway, he couldn't admit it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let himself go in Heihe Village.
Qin Erzhu was speechless. He always felt that something was wrong, but he had no way to refute it.
The village head exclaimed in surprise, "So the new county magistrate is Mr. Zhou's brother!"
The villagers were also very happy. "We can rest assured now! With Master Zhou here, the county magistrate will definitely not make things difficult for Heihe Village."
They were traumatized by the previous incompetent county magistrate.
"Are you going to the county government office?" Zhou Huaining asked.
The villagers nodded.
"Don't go, my brother is not here today."
"Then we'll go tomorrow."
"Not here tomorrow either."
"Ha!" everyone asked curiously, "Where has the county magistrate gone?"
"My brother toiled day and night, devoting himself to his work until his death." Zhou Huaining sighed and frowned. "I think it's a trivial matter like this. Why don't you handle it yourselves?"
The villagers looked at each other in confusion. They didn't realize that Master Zhou still cared about his family.
"Listen to Master Zhou, let them go!" Luo Qiuyue said, "I think they have been punished."
"That's right!" Qin Erzhu's face was beaten like a palette. "We've been beaten like this by you, it's time for you to vent your anger! You can't take our lives, right? Our crimes don't deserve the death penalty!"
"That's what I'm saying!" Luo Qiuyue echoed, "Don't go to the officials for trivial matters. They're also very busy."
"Aunt, you are absolutely right!" Zhou Huaining seemed to have found a soulmate.
Every day, either this family’s money is lost or that family’s pig runs away. The drum in the yamen is about to be broken. He is really fed up with it.
"Father Yanping, this..." The village head hesitated.
I always feel that it would be too easy for them to just let them go.
Ye Buwei said: "Everyone is busy with spring plowing. It's not worth wasting time on these people. It's better to let them go."
"Let's go back!" Luo Qiuyue untied the ropes for the four people.
Matchmaker Qin stretched out her bloodied fingers and said, "Mother Yan An, you have a sharp tongue but a kind heart. You truly have the heart of a bodhisattva."
"Everyone says so." Luo Qiuyue said with a smile.
Villagers of Heihe Village: We really didn’t say that.
However, Luo Qiuyue is indeed a person who often talks a lot but does little, and they have already seen it.
"Since the Ye family is willing to let you go, you'd better get out of here." The village head waved at them.
The four of them immediately ran away as if they were escaping.
The villagers also returned to the village.
"Xiao Jiuer, let uncle hug you!" Zhou Huaining stretched out his hand to the little girl.
"Cao Cao, you finally came!" The little dumpling smiled sweetly.
What a warm little baby! Zhou Huaining experienced what it meant to feel at home.
"Wu Yong, bring out the gifts!"
Wu Yong came out carrying a big box.
Zhou Huaining held the little girl in his arms and said, "It's a pity that there are no good things to buy in Xianchuan County. You can just make do with what you have. There are all kinds of food, clothes and toys."
"Thank you, Cucuo. I really miss Cucuo!"
...money!
