Xiao Liu understood instantly.
The master is first using the Eighth Prince's matter to curry favor with the Crown Prince, and then getting the Crown Prince to help resolve Zheng You's matter.
The county magistrate of An County was also unlucky, as he happened to run into their master.
No, he deserved to offend someone his master cared about.
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
Xiao Liu left, and the room became quiet.
A gust of evening wind blew by, causing the peach tree branches to tremble. Zhao Shi'an reached out and grasped a peach blossom that was trying to drift into the house.
Things in this life are completely different from those in the previous life.
He wasn't sold into that family and humiliated, the Eighth Prince didn't die, even Fang Dashu's legs weren't crippled, and many other things changed.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment.
"Then, so the road won't be repaired?"
"They'll repair it, but repairing an official road requires official documents from the government. They'll naturally seek help from the government. In the end, who gets the credit for repairing the road? Isn't it up to the officials to decide?"
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, the county magistrate's eyes gleamed.
