One touch and one silence

It seems that I have to be more proactive next time when talking to that guy named Chen.

I'm afraid this kid Bai San can't die recently.

Gotta take it slow.

After all, among the people here, Bai San has the best relationship with that kid.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

It’s just a pity that his dream is destined to be shattered.

As the carriage started, Nanzhi discussed what had just happened with Liuyue inside the carriage.

Especially Bai Dacheng's personality and the things he did are quite inconsistent.

Liu Yue was silent for a long time before responding to Nanzhi.

"Your Highness, this is human nature. Being weak and often bullied, one naturally wants to rely on the strong to protect oneself and avoid being harmed. Even if one does not really want to bully others, or if one cannot overcome this obstacle in one's heart, one will still try to make amends after harming others. This is all part of the instinct for survival."

"It is normal for people to want to survive and avoid being bullied, just like ants. What is valuable about him is that although he is surrounded by people, his heart is still kind. However, they are all pitiful people."

Nanzhi nodded.

Then she stared at Liu Yue and said anxiously, "Liu Yue, can we talk normally sometimes? When you say that, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."

This guy had been giving her some pedantic speeches from time to time lately, which was a bit difficult for her to understand.

"Liu Yue tries his best."

Nanzhi looked at Liuyue's serious expression and found it interesting.

In fact, she was just talking.

In less than an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of the county magistrate's office.

Just as Nanzhi was about to go in, he was stopped by someone at the door.

The person at the door looked at the clothes of Nanzhi and others, and his tone became much more respectful.

Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this guy was quite perceptive.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Of course I'm here to see your county magistrate, Lord Bai!"

Seeing that his master did not answer, Fatty Chen took the initiative to step forward and answer the bailiff's questions.

The yamen runner at the door looked at the three of them for their extraordinary attire and imposing manner, so he did not dare to neglect them and replied respectfully.

"Please wait for a moment. I will report to our Lord."

Several people stood outside the door waiting for a long time, while Nanzhi was looking at the county government office.

It was spotless from the entrance to the gate, and it wasn't always cleaned.

Nanzhi already had some idea in his mind.

"Please follow me, our masters are waiting for you in the reception room."

After saying this, he led the way.

Nanzhi watched with his eyes, comparing the differences between it and the Dali Temple in his mind.

In fact, these places are similar and have little differences.

It's just that some places stand out a little bit.

Soon they arrived at the reception room. When Nanzhi entered, Mr. Bai was already sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, gently blowing away the foam in the teacup.

He just glanced at Nanzhi and others, and then slowly took a sip of tea.

"What do you want from me?"

As he said this, he placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table beside him, and then he formally looked at Nanzhi and others.

Nan Zhiye didn't intend to hide it and signaled Liu Yue.

Liu Yue threw the sign of the Dali Temple Shaoqing in his hand into the arms of County Magistrate Bai.

The county magistrate had an unhappy look on his face, but when he saw what was in his arms, his attitude changed immediately.

"Oh! Look, it's the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. I wonder if Shaoqing is here for something?"

Nanzhi looked at the speed at which the old man's expression changed. If this man was ranked number one, there would probably be no one second.

"I am passing by here. It is getting late now. I plan to stay here. I will be on my way tomorrow. I wonder if it is convenient for you."

County Magistrate Bai was very nervous. This man did not go to the post station but came to his county office to stay overnight. Could he have some other purpose?

Thinking of this, he became more cautious.

"So you are passing through here! It is so convenient! It is such a great honor for us!"

"I wonder if you are hungry, my Lord. I will arrange a welcome dinner for you right away."

Nanzhi understood everything when she saw the county magistrate's flattering look and his skill in fawning on others.

"In that case, fine. I am indeed hungry, but there is no need to waste money."

When Lord Bai heard this, he immediately understood what this person meant.

I guess he is doing something rather secretive, so he is afraid that others will know.

Thinking about this man's identity, I thought about my son who would enter the officialdom next spring.

I suddenly wanted to make friends with him.

Although he has someone above him, this person is already the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at such a young age, so it is easy to imagine how powerful he is.

Or there is some background behind it.

Thinking of this, Lord Bai's face became a little more enthusiastic.

"Okay, Master Shaoqing, don't worry, you can go and have a rest first, I will make the arrangements right away."

"Ok!"

Nanzhi responded.

County Magistrate Bai immediately called his servant, "Changqing, take the distinguished guest to the guest room to rest."

"Take good care of it."

Lord Bai was afraid that this kid would make a mistake, so he gave him a special reminder.

Changqing naturally understood what his master meant.

"Dear guests, please follow me."

Changqing's attitude was very respectful.

Nanzhi and others followed the servant, and the county magistrate then turned around and left, hurried to find his legal advisor.

On the way, he asked someone to look for his eldest son.

His eldest son never gave him any worries in socializing, as if he was just there for dinner.

If my son can become friends with this person, what will happen in the future? Who can say for sure.

Since that person doesn't allow extravagance and waste, it is very likely that he doesn't want to see outsiders.

Thinking of this, Bai Shuisheng's face was filled with joy.

Nanzhi hadn't rested for long before County Magistrate Bai came over to invite someone in person.

Nanzhi didn't expect that she would meet Bai Qiuming so soon.

She thought she would have to wait until the dinner to see him.

"This is my son. I thought you two were close in age, so you would have more topics to talk about."

"So I called my little boy to accompany me. I hope you won't mind."

Nanzhi gave this guy a lot of thumbs up in her heart. It’s no wonder he did a great job.

But they are about the same age, are you sure?

Your son is almost thirty years old, and I'm only eleven, okay?

"I'm sorry to bother you two."

Nanzhi still looked very polite and well-mannered, without revealing his true colors at all.

"Bai Qiuming greets Master Shaoqing!"

Bai Qiu Ming performed a scholar's salute to Nan Zhi, and Nan Zhi quickly reached out to hold it up.

"This time, I am here just to disturb you. Please don't be so cautious. Just be casual."

Bai Qiu Ming looked at the small hand resting on top of her own hands, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The hot feeling makes people uncomfortable.

However, thinking of his father's instructions, Bai Qiu Ming suppressed the discomfort in his heart and put on a gentle and polite look on his face.

It feels like a dog in disguise.

At least that's what Nanzhi thinks.

But the reality is not.

This person is a dark person. He used his father's name to do many immoral things.

This method of making money is so good that even Zhou Baopi would admire this guy.

Moreover, Nanzhi suddenly discovered that this kid had a lot of people under his command. Basically, every town or village, big or small, that was a little powerful, had people under his command.
