When I became a Jade-faced Fox

Chapter 191 The Thoughts of the People Below

Yu'er returned to Chang'an and found the temple door wide open, but no one inside.

"That's strange, what's going on?" Yu'er was a little confused.

It was very rare for them to come out in full force. There was not a single word left on the table, which proved that they did not go far and returned soon.

Yu'er sat down patiently and slowly sorted out what had happened in the past few days.

As I was stroking the thread, I heard the sound of them coming back.

The ones who came back were Yanniang and Qian Hua, and they just saw De Yuer sitting under the eaves.

"Sir, you're back." Yan Niang hurried over to greet him.

"Is this trip a success?"

"Everything is fine, it's okay," Yu'er nodded and said, "What did you do to be so happy."

"Ahua, please explain it to the adults."

Following Yanniang's words, Yu'er's eyes also turned to Qian Hua.

"Sir, Mr. Wen has gone on an inspection with Ah Zheng. Today, Sister Yanniang and I were supposed to be at home watching over the temple."

"But just as we were changing the offerings for your statue, we heard some clattering noises outside."

Qian Hua stretched out his hands and clapped his hands, "Let's go out and take a look. What do you think?"

Yu'er naturally shook her head. Up to now, Qian Hua hadn't revealed anything, so how could she guess it out of thin air?

It turned out that the constables and bailiffs in the yamen met a young man while they were on patrol.

The yamen runners chatted while patrolling.

"Boss, what kind of person do you think this new county magistrate is?"

The yamen runner who said this bared his teeth and looked a little worried.

There is no way. I just got married and had a child, and I really have to take care of the elderly and the young.

Of course, we still have to find a way to keep the silver.

The constable, the one the yamen runner had just mentioned, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

"We only know that this is a new official, and we know nothing else."

“Who can really figure out what’s going to happen?”

"Now all we can do is wait and see."

The people who followed him became discouraged when they heard this. After all, it was really uncomfortable for me to be in the middle of nowhere and feel like I am in an unknown position.

"I just hope that this adult won't be so greedy, so that we can all have an easier life."

Another yamen runner, who looked quite old, added silently.

These words happened to be heard by a young man sitting on a donkey cart.

Hearing it was enough, but the most important thing was that the old servant who drove the young man became a little panicked when he saw the clothes of the government servant and the big knife in his hand.

He was a little out of control, and the donkey began to panic. In the blink of an eye, the yamen runners fled in a panic under the donkey's hooves.

Finally the car stopped with great difficulty and the young man had to get off to apologize.

"Don't be too greedy? The last county magistrate was pretty good."

Yu'er suddenly interrupted. In her impression, the previous county magistrate was okay. He couldn't be said to be completely incorruptible, but he was at least doing his best for the people.

"Sir, the previous county magistrate was a good one. He might have said this because he was afraid that the new county magistrate would not understand the rules."

Yu Er nodded and took the tea from Yan Niang, "What do you think, Yan Niang?"

"What Ah Hua said makes sense, but she also forgot one thing: a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake."

"And these yamen runners are like local tyrants. Every one of them is a spokesperson for a certain village or town."

"If the new county magistrate does not listen to others and just acts recklessly, then..."

Yan Niang looked into Qian Hua's eyes and stopped talking, waiting for Qian Hua to continue.

Qian Hua naturally understood that this was to let her think about what would happen next.

She pondered for a moment, looked at Yan Niang and the other girl with a guilty look in her eyes, and then continued.

"Then, if nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that an invisible confrontation will occur."

Qian Hua saw a slightly satisfied smile on Yan Niang's face and continued talking.

"The earliest order issued by the county magistrate will most likely not be carried out."

"But this situation is not entirely good for the constables and yamen runners."

"That's why they hope that the county magistrate won't be too greedy. It's best if it's within a range that both parties can accept."

Yu'er nodded with satisfaction, stood up and touched Qian Hua's hair.

"That's good. I teach you to read and read more because I hope you can have independent thinking ability."

Qian Hua was naturally happy to hear Yu'er say this.

"Well, let me continue. Your Excellency would never guess that the young man is the new county magistrate."

Yu'er was also surprised. She looked at Yan Niang and received a positive response from her.

"So the person who was talking to you has met the real person." Yu'er teased with a smile.

"That's right, who could have thought it would be such a coincidence."

"This is good." Yu'er thought for a moment, "This can be considered as making clear what I want without realizing it."

"As long as the county magistrate has a clear idea in mind, he will know what to do next."

"It's a good thing, it's good for everyone."

But now, Yu'er is worried about something else.

"Niang Yan, does he look a bit like Yuan Bao?"

Yan Niang shook her head, "My lord, too much time has passed."

"The probability of looking alike is extremely small, and it's hard to tell anything from their appearance."

"Right."

Qian Hua secretly observed Yu'er's expression. She learned who this Yuanbao was from Yan Niang and Mr. Wen.

I felt even more moved in my heart, wondering how could my vision be so good?

No matter whether it is a human, a god, or a demon, being loyal is always better than being indifferent.

"Sir, if you are worried, why don't you go and ask in person when you have time?"

Yan Niang suggested, "Since we are already in Chang'an, we will have to serve as an official for several years at least."

"Could it be possible that he could run away?"

"Yes, there will always be a chance." Yu'er also understands this truth!

"Now that you have finished talking, would you like to come into the house with me? I will give you some medicine."

Yu'er looked helpless, "It's just a minor injury, I didn't expect you to notice it."

"My Lord always wears a light floral scent, and rarely uses a strong osmanthus scent. As soon as you smell it, you know what you are covering up."

Yan Niang smelled it when she handed over the tea just now.

"Really? It's just a minor injury. No need to apply medicine. It's okay, Yan Niang."

Yu'er is still a little rough sometimes, so she doesn't take these minor injuries too seriously.

Yan Niang looked at Yu'er without saying anything. Yu'er looked helpless and said, "Okay, okay, then you can send the powder to my room and I will apply it later."

Qian Hua looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little envious.

"Sure enough, Sister Yan is more careful and understands you better."

"I have been with Yan Niang for five hundred years. I can even say that it is longer than the time I have been with my parents."

"She knows me, it's not surprising at all."
