Chapter 3074 Chapter 3076 [County Lord Uehara]
In the next day, Xiang Nan captured three kidnappers, and was escorted to the county seat by Yue Tian Fuxian of Bailu Cangzong Township.
The captured two long guns, two short guns, and the carriage were also taken away by him.
Subsequently, the village began to repair warehouses and build schools, creating a lively scene.
Mr. Zhu also invited his good friend Mr. Xu to be the teacher of Bailu Village School.
While he was busy, another news came that He Dezhi, the magistrate of Zishui County, was coming to Bailu Village for inspection.
It turned out that Xiang Nan had captured three kidnappers. They were well-known gangsters who had robbed homes in the provincial capital and had already killed many people.
It's just that the police station has not been able to bring several people to justice, so the public grievances are surging, which has caused the court to face a lot of pressure.
Now he is planted in Bailu Village, what a retribution, and it is a great joy to help the county magistrate He to relieve his urgent need.
In addition, Bailu Village repaired warehouses, built schools, established township covenants, and destroyed tobacco seedlings... These are also praiseworthy acts of kindness.
Whilst Bailu Village is under his rule, it is naturally also his merit, so he decided to come to investigate and inspect, visit and visit, praise and praise, which can be regarded as taking the credit for himself.
"Oh, Jiaxuan, this is a good thing. The last time our village came to the county magistrate was in the reign of Xuantong."
"Okay, it's our village's blessing that County Magistrate He can come to our village, it's really a good thing!"
"Then the county magistrate is here, what should we prepare?"
The villagers talked in a hurry.
"Hey, this is on point." Lu Zilin continued, "We must satisfy the county magistrate. How can we be satisfied? Your pockets are full and your belly is full."
"What does it mean to have a pocket full or a belly full?" the villagers asked curiously.
"It is to make He County Magistrate eat and drink well, and take some things away by the way." Lu Zilin explained.
"What to bring? Do I have to pay?" the villagers all asked.
"I said I have to pay the money, I said I have to pay the money, he is the magistrate of the county, who is short of your three melons and two dates?" Lu Zilin scolded anxiously, "Will the white-faced buns be okay? No, the carp in our river can do well, the key is the mind."
"Okay, as long as you don't charge money, you can do whatever you want." The villagers nodded.
…
The villagers discussed the matter of welcoming the county magistrate, but Xiang Nan didn't get involved.
He knew that County Magistrate He came this time just to grab credit.
He wants to take a series of achievements in Bailu Village, such as establishing a township agreement, repairing righteous warehouses, building a school, capturing bandits, and waste smoke seedlings, etc. to himself.
So tomorrow is likely to be just going through the motions. He has no interest in this, so he didn't participate in the discussion, and he didn't even plan to participate tomorrow.
After all, he is most annoyed by this kind of formalism, especially because he doesn't take up any money, and he doesn't want to do the work of making scenery boards for others.
A few days later, the righteous storehouse was repaired, the school was built, and the county magistrate He was coming.
Nominally, it was to inspect the Bailu Academy and Bailu Yicang, but in fact it was just to impress himself.
And when the villagers beat gongs and drums to welcome He County Magistrate at the entrance of the village, Xiang Nan meditated in the temple and chanted scriptures, without getting involved in these things at all.
However, he didn't want to get involved, but Lu Zilin hurried over, "Hei Wa, Hei Wa, why are you still here? Follow me to the entrance of the village."
"Of course magistrate He is welcome." Lu Zilin explained, "Think about it, you are a little fairy, how much face do you have to go, what will you do if you want to be absent?"
"I'm not going, I don't have time." Xiang Nan waved his hands.
"Oh, you made a great contribution by capturing the bandits this time. This time, the magistrate He came here to commend you. What can you do if you don't show up?" Lu Zilin stepped forward to pull him again and said, "Hurry up! Hurry up, County Magistrate He will be here soon."
"If you don't talk about it, what are you talking about." Xiang Nan waved his hands in disgust.
To Lu Zilin, he really couldn't be more polite. Because this kind of person dares to open a dyeing workshop for three points of face.
Xiang Nan was polite to Bai Jiaxuan and supported him in repairing warehouses and building schools, because he knew that what he did was a good thing and would benefit the common people.
But Lu Zilin welcomed County Magistrate He with such fanfare, but he just wanted to flatter him. For this kind of virtue, he did not look down on it.
"You, you..." Seeing this, Lu Zilin couldn't help being a little angry. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but he swallowed the words again.
Xiang Nan is a little fairy, he is really powerful, and it's like playing with people. He saw with his own eyes that it was much easier for Xiang Nan to deal with the three kidnappers than to slaughter a chicken. When you poke your finger, the person will not move.
He dared not offend such a person, otherwise it would be a piece of cake to think of a way to kill him.
So Lu Zilin had to leave in despair.
…
"Da, close the door, and no one will open it." Xiang Nan then ordered Lu Sandao.
"Hei Wa, that's County Magistrate He." Lu San hesitated for a moment.
"So what about County Magistrate He? As long as I don't want to see him, I don't care who he is." Xiang Nan pouted.
Magistrate He is at best a seventh-rank official. He has even been an emperor, would he be afraid of him as a seventh-rank official?
Right now, it means that he doesn't want to be troublesome, otherwise, in troubled times, it would not be difficult at all for him to become a straw king with his ability.
At that time, let alone the county magistrate, even Governor Zhang, who guards Xi'an City, is nothing at all.
…
The county magistrate He then took several officials from the county, accompanied by Tian Fuxian, to Bailu Village.
Lu Zilin led the villagers to beat gongs and drums at the entrance of the village and wave colorful flags to welcome them warmly.
"Oh, welcome to County Magistrate He, welcome to County Magistrate He. In Xiabailu Village, Yue Lu Zilin, on behalf of all the villagers in Bailu Village, welcome to County Magistrate He." He went up to meet him and said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you." Magistrate He smiled.
"Magistrate He, this is Bai Jiaxuan, the patriarch of our Bailu Village. This is the patriarch Lu Taiheng, who is also the elder of Elu Zilin. This is the patriarch..." Lu Zilin introduced one by one.
After the county magistrate He saw it, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you see Mr. Zhu and the little fairy from your village?"
He had heard of the names of Mr. Zhu and Little Immortal long ago.
Mr. Zhu said that he retired 200,000 Qing soldiers by himself. Such a righteous act is rare in history books. It can be described as great wisdom, courage, benevolence and righteousness. Moreover, because of this incident, Governor Zhang of Xi'an City owed a big favor.
One of the purposes of his visit this time is to meet Mr. Zhu, and then make a good relationship with Governor Zhang through Mr. Zhu. After all, it is much better for someone in the court to be an official than him to climb slowly.
Xiang Nan, the little fairy, can ride the clouds and ride the fog, call the wind and call the rain, predict things like a god, save lives and heal the wounded, and is also very famous in a hundred miles around.
He also wanted to ask the little fairy to help him do the calculations, to see if he had the luck to be promoted, the highest step he could rise to, and who were the noble people who were hit, and he could cling to them.
Unexpectedly, the two people he wanted to see did not come today, which made him feel very disappointed.
