Yu Zhi also knew that Zhai Yougui was following, so she just smiled and said nothing.
Lunch is naturally eaten at home, and it’s fine to have a snack. If you eat out, Yu Zhi is worried that the kid will not get used to it. Children, their stomachs are weaker than adults.
Mother and son ate lunch together. Wen Jiuxiao was not in the county government office, saying that he was going down to investigate the people's situation. Yu Zhi curled his lips, isn't it just a private visit in Weifu? As if someone doesn't understand.
What Yu Zhi didn't know was that Wen Jiuxiao went out on a donkey, and riding a horse was too conspicuous, so he replaced it with a donkey. Such a tall guy with such long legs, riding on the back of a little donkey, no matter how you look at it, you feel wronged for his legs. His all-over aura doesn't suit a little donkey at all, it's really against harmony.
Pianwen Jiuxiao still feels good about himself, except for his legs, there is no major problem.
Qingfeng is his number one henchman, even if Wen Jiuxiao says that farts are delicious, he can shout three times with a sincere expression, "Smell, smell, smell." Now what about his master riding a donkey? That is also majestic and heroic, romantic and suave.
Zhuo Zhengyang is Wen Jiuxiao's hard-core fanboy, so he naturally does what the adults say, and it must be right for the adults to ride a donkey. Look, the man sitting on the back of a donkey is majestic, free and easy, full of masculinity!
As for Dahu who was following along as a guide...he was immersed in the surprise of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was living," and he only had eyes for his little donkeys and nothing else."
After turning over a mountain, Duhu pointed to the front and said, "My lord, there is a quarry over there. Be careful, the road is not easy to walk."
Shanyun County is too poor, even the fields are not fertile, the prisoners sent to Shanyun County cannot be resettled, they can only be sent to the quarry. Duhu had never been to this place before, he only heard from the boss, he knew the general location, and knew that life in the quarry was hard, but he didn't know the specifics.
The magistrate of the county said he wanted to come and see, so he brought people here.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the donkeys are all left at the bottom of the mountain. Dumb is used to walking on mountain roads. Wen Jiuxiao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his legs and feet are agile, so he doesn't find it too difficult. Qingfeng and Zhuo Zhengyang were miserable. How could they have walked such a road? Is this called a road? There are stones everywhere, big stones, small stones, gravel, and there is not even a place to stay.
The weather was hot, and the two of them were panting like dogs. If Wen Jiuxiao and Duhu hadn't been dragging each other, they would have fallen behind.
In the quarry, everyone was working under the scorching sun, with tattered clothes hanging on their bodies like strips of cloth, mechanical movements, numb eyes, and whips falling on their bodies from time to time.
"Hurry up, pretend to be dead? Don't want to do it? You old man, I think you don't want to eat?"
"I beg the steward to show you your hand. He really isn't just pretending. My husband was ill the day before yesterday and he really has no strength. Please do me a favor and let him rest for a while!" His face was extremely sad.
"Half a day off? What good things are you thinking about? Think you are still pampered officials and lords? Huh, when you get to this place, you all work honestly for me. Get up, get up and work." The vicious and vicious voice was particularly harsh.
Not only did none of the people around come forward, the expressions on their faces didn't change at all, as if they were used to it.
Wen Jiuxiao couldn't help frowning, and when he saw the face of the man with closed eyes in the woman's arms, his frown tightened even more. He strode over and grabbed the steward's arm.
"Who are you?" The chief manager was very angry when he was grabbed by the arm. He turned his head and saw Wen Jiuxiao's face, and swallowed the curse when it reached his mouth.
Wen Jiuxiao ignored him, but went straight to the man on the ground, "Master Xu!"
The woman raised her head suddenly and saw a young man with extraordinary momentum, she couldn't help asking: "You know my husband, who are you?"
The woman felt relieved, no wonder the people in the capital know her husband. Just as she was about to speak, she felt the person in her arms move, and she quickly lowered her head to look. "Master, are you awake?!" Sure enough, her husband opened his eyes.
"You, you are... Master Xiaowen?" Xu Daochong tried his best to distinguish, and recognized the young man in front of him. He was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I'm released to take over as the county magistrate of Shanyun County." Wen Jiuxiao said casually.
"You..." Xu Daochong's mood became more complicated. Unlike others, he didn't know the details. Xu Daochong was a Beijing official, worked in the Ministry of Rites, and also served as Chunwei's deputy examiner. Naturally, he knew very well how much Wen Jiuxiao was valued by the emperor.
A young and promising talent like him, even if he wants to be released, he will not come to a place like Shanyun County. This offended the emperor and was demoted?
Immediately he laughed at himself, he himself became a sinner, and the mud bodhisattva crossed the river, he could not protect himself, and he still had time to worry about others.
"Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your favor. Shanyun County is very good and has a lot of fruits." Wen Jiuxiao didn't reveal too much, seeing his weak appearance, he said: "Master Xu is sick, why are you placed in this place? ? Forget it, Mrs. Xu, who else is at home? Come with me."
The work in the quarry is so heavy, since I ran into it, I can't let people die here, right? Wen Jiuxiao understood very well that Xu Daochong had never committed any crime at all, but was only implicated by others.
"No! Xu is a criminal now, so he can't implicate Mr. Xiaowen." Xu Daochong waved his hands quickly.
After hearing Xu Daochong's words, the light in the woman's eyes dimmed.
"What's the matter? Wen is now the parent officer of Shanyun County. Now that he is sent here, even if he is a criminal, he is also a citizen under Wen's rule. Let's go, Wen will send you to see a doctor, and wait for you to recover Already, Wen will find another job for you."
If you ask him to say, Lan Huanping is really timid. Talents like Xu Daochong are sent to the quarry and stay in the county government office as a clerk, doesn't it save him a lot of trouble?
"Then please trouble Mr. Xiaowen." Xu Daochong felt very guilty, if he were himself, he would have given up his life at worst. But when he saw the white hair on his old wife's head, and thought of his youngest son who was as thin as a bone, he couldn't refuse no matter what.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaowen!" The woman was also extremely grateful, she was obviously happy, but she shed tears.
"This, this..." When the chief steward heard that Wen Jiuxiao was the new county magistrate, his face changed. Seeing that he was going to take Xu Daochong's family away, he subconsciously stepped forward to stop him.
Duhu pushed him aside at once, "What are you doing? How dare you disrespect your lord?" His waist knife was half drawn, and as long as he dared to act recklessly, he would chop him up.
The chief steward fell to his knees in fright, "Don't dare, don't dare, the adults know it clearly, but the villains don't dare." How dare he disrespect the magistrate? "Xu Daochong is a prisoner who has been assigned. If you want to take him away, my lord, I won't be able to explain to you!"
Zhuo Zhengyang sneered, "Who is your boss? Could it be that he is older than Lord Wen? As the parent officer of this county, Lord Wen doesn't even have the right to transfer a few people?"
"The villain dare not, the villain dare not." The chief manager touched his head to the ground, his face ashen.
"I see that you are very brave! I see that in this quarry, everyone has no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, and as the chief executive, you are more majestic than me! The imperial court dispatched them here. It is for them to atone for their sins, not to send them to death. Come here, first put him in custody, and I will deal with it later."
I wanted to write another chapter at night, but I was going to Zaozhuang to play, and my family members were going, so Hehe had to go. Tomorrow, work hard tomorrow.
