The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

They didn't meet Xu Huaiyuan, as the county magistrate has been very busy lately.

However, at this time, he was busy but also happy, because most of them were false cases and wrongful convictions. Some people increasingly felt that the county magistrate was a good official. Many cases that had already been judged could be overturned if they were considered unjust. He was a man who could truly stand up for the people.

The previous county magistrate was dismissed for committing a crime, and there were many unjust cases under his jurisdiction. Some people were bullied by bullies and were sent to jail, where they spent two years in prison for nothing.

After Xu Huaiyuan found out the truth, he not only released the person, but also gave him a consolation money to make up for his previous mistake.

In addition to the incident of the Black Wind Village being destroyed, it was discovered that there was an undercover agent from the Black Wind Village in Xinping County. Xu Huaiyuan also began to investigate the county government to prevent the same thing from happening again, and he actually found quite a few corrupt officials who were exploiting the local people.

Xu Huaiyuan's reputation as an honest official has spread far and wide. Under his leadership, Tongxu County has become prosperous.

"He said a while ago that he wanted to visit the village. Your workshop has attracted many foreign merchants and brought a lot of tax revenue to our Tongxu County. He is very happy."

Aunt Xu was also excited. It was difficult for her to recall the miserable situation when she first arrived in Tongxu County. She was very pleased to see that her son had governed Tongxu County so well.

Su Wanwan said a few polite words. This was just the beginning and there were not many merchants from other places. There would only be more taxes in the future.

Tongxu County, with the simultaneous development of agriculture and light industry, will definitely become the largest county in the Great Xia Dynasty within three years.

Everything was getting better and better, and the workshop had become stable. Su Wanwan felt a lot more relaxed. On the way back, she simply didn't sit in the carriage, but sat in the front with Shen Yuan.

"Shen Yuan, I still remember the day I first met you. You drove a bullock cart to take me back. Time flies."

Su Wanwan still remembers those things vividly.

At that time, she felt panic and uncertainty about the future, but she was definitely not afraid.

She was very glad that she had met this man before traveling through time, so she was not so scared.

Shen Yuan had a doting look on his face, but he still felt a lingering fear when he thought of that day.

Fortunately, he went to the county town, and fortunately he met her and took her home.

Everything seemed just right, yet everything was so tense. If he had come a step later, the result would not be what it is now.

I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat.

Shen Yuan reached out and held Su Wanwan's hand, and only then did he feel much more at ease.

They took the official road, but it was not very wide or flat.

With a jolt, Su Wanwan staggered and fell towards Shen Yuan, who immediately supported her.

At this time, there was the sound of carriage wheels rolling on the ground from behind, and the speed was very fast. Shen Yuan looked back and saw a large group of people walking towards this side.

They were running too fast, so Shen Yuan immediately drove the carriage to the side, wanting to let them pass first.

Unexpectedly, the person leading in front suddenly pulled the reins and prepared to stop.

The horse neighed and let out a shrill scream, then rushed towards the path made by Shen Yuan and the others.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Perhaps the leading horse was running too fast, and the horses behind it also became crazy and ran wildly all the way.

"Stop, stop, ma'am, ma'am..."

An old woman shouted loudly from the carriage behind, but the horse in front could not be controlled, and the horse behind was also difficult to control. The coachman was so anxious that he was sweating.

The leading horse had already galloped past Shen Yuan and his group, raising a lot of dust.

Seeing that the carriage behind was about to catch up, and seeing that the carriage was so wide that it was obvious that the official road could not accommodate his carriage and the wide carriage side by side, Shen Yuan hugged Su Wanwan and leaped back to the valley beside the road.

The man on the horse in front was also very anxious as he saw that he could not control the horse. Shen Yuan looked at the carriage that was about to squeeze into his own carriage, asked Su Wanwan to stand farther away, and then he leaped and rushed directly to the carriage.

The coachman was still pulling the horse hard. Shen Yuan snatched the reins from his hand and pulled hard. The horse neighed and pushed the carriage forward a little bit, then stopped abruptly.

The leading horse in front was also controlled by the man at this time, and the chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.

The other party's carriage was stuck together with Shen Yuan's carriage, side by side on the official road, blocking the road tightly.

The servants were so frightened that they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. It was an old maid who reacted first and got into the carriage immediately.

"Madam, madam...are you okay..."

Yun Ran was about to collapse in the car. She had been seriously ill and had not yet recovered. She started coughing violently, but she still covered her chest and tried to stick her head out.

"Quick, check on Sanlang, is Sanlang okay?"

The Sanlang she mentioned was her son Ye Xingzhou, the third child in the Ye family.

Ye Xingzhou had calmed down and quickly got off the horse and ran to the carriage. He was relieved to see that his mother was fine.

Shen Yuan had already handed the reins back to the groom and was about to go down.

Ye Xingzhou immediately bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, sir, for saving my mother."

Shen Yuan was dressed in a serious manner today. It was the first time he was called "Sir". He said politely:

"You're welcome, it's easy."

Then he jumped off the carriage, walked around the back of the carriage and stood between the two carriages.

The carriage wheels were squeezed together, and the carriage shed above was also close together. The two buckles were buckled together, fitting tightly, and had to be forced apart in order to move forward.

A few more ox carts returning to the village came later and were also stuck in the middle of the road.

However, seeing a luxurious carriage in front of them, they did not dare to ask what was going on and had to stop aside and wait. After a while, three ox carts and some villagers on foot were blocking the way.

This pipeline leads to several villages, and many people come and go on weekdays.

Su Wanwan also walked over from that side, and seeing so many ox carts and people stuck in the back, she looked at the path on the side and let the people walking on it walk on the steep slope first.

Seeing that his mother was fine, Ye Xingzhou also ran to the back. After apologizing to the villagers who were blocked, he frowned slightly when he saw the situation here.

The two carriages were stuck together. If they were forced to separate, they would inevitably be damaged.

But it doesn't matter to him, he should be almost at his destination anyway.

"It's alright sir, just force it open, and I'll bear all the losses."

Ye Xingzhou was a civil servant. Although he had practiced several sets of boxing techniques, he was not very good at martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to control the horse when it suddenly went crazy when it encountered the wild boar.

But judging from this guy's skills, he should have some abilities.

Shen Yuan glanced at him, wondering who he was looking down on.

The places where they are stuck together are not too serious and can be pushed apart.
