Chapter 237: Tongan County Magistrate Shen Zheng, Listening to the Order

Everyone in the motorcade heading to Beijing got off the cars one after another, except for the people in the first car who did not move.

Two men in scarlet official robes stepped out of the second carriage, one after the other.

One of them looked young, around 28 or 29, while the other had slightly gray hair at the temples and looked to be in his 60s.

As soon as he got off the car, the young man nodded friendly to the people of Tongan County, then turned his head slightly to look at them.

The county residents heard the two of them talking in low voices and said, "Sir Shen, this Tongan County is different. When we first entered Tongan County, we smelled the fragrance of rice. It's a pity that we didn't see the looms."

The official called Lord Shen seemed a little unsociable and just replied, "Yes, I smelled it too..."

Everyone held their breath when they heard this, and had vague guesses in their hearts. A flamboyant person tiptoed out of the crowd.

After walking away, he immediately let himself go: "Someone is coming! Someone from the capital city is here to praise our master! He is right at the main street entrance of the county government office! Come and have a look——"

"Clang." The soup spoon from the snack stall fell to the ground.

The stall owner was stunned. He didn't even bother to pick up the spoon and asked, "Brother, what did you say?"

"Our master has become famous. Those officials said they came from Shangjing City. Who knows... who knows... who is that person...!"

What the one in the palace meant!

When the county residents thought of this, their hearts skipped a beat.

The stall owner no longer cared about his own stall. He ran to the kitchen, grabbed his family members, and ran straight to the county government office.

The news spread quickly, and in a short while, the main street entrance of the county government office was blocked by traffic.

"The two of them, the younger and taller one is Shen Xingjian, from the Ministry of Revenue. It turns out you two are from the same family. The fatter old man is Liang Fu, from the Ministry of Works." Yu Zhengqing introduced them to Shen Zheng.

He said and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well... Your Majesty has put a lot of thought into selecting people this time. These two only care about things and not people. To put it bluntly, they are just stupid. So there is no way they will embarrass us."

Shen Zheng smiled awkwardly at Shen Xingjian who was looking over, and tugged at Yu Zhengqing's sleeve, "Sir, please keep your voice down, they seem to have heard it."

Yu Zhengqing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go up and say hello."

"what--"

Shen Zheng's eyes fell on the first carriage. The big boss hadn't shown up yet.

Shen Zheng and Yu Zhengqing had just walked up to Shen Xingjian and the other person, but before they could say anything, they were greeted by Shen Xingjian.

"Master Shen, Master Yu...Master Yu."

Shen Zheng quickly returned the greeting and said, "I greet Lord Shen and Lord Liang."

Yu Zhengqing, Liang Fu: "......"

These two people have the same surname, so it's strange the way they greet each other.

After Shen Xingjian said hello, he kept thinking about what he should say so that he could go and see the rice in Tongan County immediately - he had just mustered up the courage to say hello first, but it was already his limit.

But the purpose of his and Liang Fu's visit this time was rice and textile machines.

The reward announcement was entirely the responsibility of Earl Yongning. As long as Earl Yongning didn't mind, he could skip this step and head straight to the rice fields...

Shen Xingjian encouraged himself for a long time, and finally said the second sentence he wanted to say: "Sir Shen, I wonder if your county..."

"Cough." A light cough in the carriage interrupted Shen Xingjian's words. After being interrupted, his face suddenly turned red and he didn't know where to look.

Shen Zheng: “???”

No way, she discovered something...!

This Mr. Shen...seems to be extremely socially anxious!

There is such a clean stream in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is out of place yet reveals a hint of cuteness.

Yu Zhengqing saw that the people in the carriage could no longer sit still, and he suddenly found it funny: "Oh, I forgot that there is still an adult who has not gotten off the car."

He said loudly through the curtain: "Your humble servant Yu Zhengqing greets you, sir. Please get out of the carriage!"

Shen Zheng quickly collected her thoughts and followed closely: "Your subordinate Shen Zheng, I greet you, Your Excellency!"

The two of them greeted each other and looked eagerly behind the curtain. Just as Yu Shizhang felt relieved and was about to get off the car, a voice sounded behind Shen Zheng:

"Your humble servant Wang Shize greets you, Your Excellency!"

He felt that he had caught up with what Shen Zheng and the other person were talking about, and felt very pleased with himself.

Even if the caravan was not a reward for him, he could still gain something if he could leave some impression on the officials who came to Beijing.

Today is a big day for Tongan County. Yu Zhengqing certainly wouldn't dare to embarrass him in front of the person coming from Beijing...

But the next moment.

"Ah——" Wang Shize was knocked to the ground by Yu Zhengqing's buttocks.

Wang Shize was so angry that his eyes were straight, and he pointed at Yu Zhengqing with a trembling finger: "Yu Zhengqing, you! How dare you act like this in front of the adults, you are simply violating..."

"What's wrong?" A pair of old but strong hands lifted the curtain of the car and asked.

Just one sentence frightened Wang Shize so much that he sat still and dared not curse anymore.

The person sitting in the first carriage finally showed up.

Everyone looked over and couldn't help but hold their breath.

This man was nearly sixty years old, in good spirits, intimidating without even getting angry, and exuding a terrifying aura.

With just one glance, Shen Zheng confirmed the identity of the old man.

There is no other reason, it's just that they are so alike...

Most of the people in Tongan County lowered their heads and did not dare to look at his face directly.

Only a few brave people, after seeing his face, murmured in a low voice: "How come this old man's eyes are exactly like the prefect's?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was patted on the back of his head, and the person next to him said in a low voice:

"Is that what you said? Even if they look exactly alike, you should have said that the prefect's eyes are the same as the old man who came to the capital!"

"Aren't they all the same? What's the difference?"

"..."

The main street of Tongan County was somewhat quiet, in stark contrast to the bustling noise just now.

Yu Zhengqing was the first to interrupt the silence: "Your subordinate, I meet the Earl of Yongning. Is the Earl doing well recently?"

It seemed like a routine greeting in official circles, but in reality it was Yu Zhengqing's concern for his son.

No matter what, his father, who was nearly 60 years old, traveled thousands of miles... to see him.

The father and son looked at each other from a distance. Yu Shizhang looked Yu Zhengqing up and down, and said in a low voice with a pout: "You've lost weight."

It was clearly words of disdain, yet Yu Zhengqing's nose felt sore when he heard them.

Wow!

Earl Yongning? That's... Earl Yongning?!

Be it Wang Shize or the people of Tongan County, they couldn't sit still when they heard this title!

Who is Yongning Bo? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the founding father of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Today, he came to Tongan County! And his purpose is...

"From Liuyang Prefecture, Shen Zheng, the magistrate of Tongan County, listen to your order--" The bright yellow imperial edict was opened, and Yu Shizhang read it loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present knelt down in unison.

The imperial edict, it was actually an imperial edict! An imperial edict from Shangjing!

Shen Zheng and Yu Zhengqing knelt at the front, with their heads slightly lowered and their eyes fixed straight ahead, waiting for Yu Shizhang to announce the order.

Shen Zheng suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat unreal.

She traveled through time, became an official, and now, was commended by the emperor?

Her heartbeat quickened slightly.

What they didn't notice was that a goose yellow figure quietly jumped down from the third carriage and quietly knelt among the crowd.

The girl gave a sly smile, hehe, no one noticed her.

"Others just came down, why did you come down just now?" A voice sounded quietly behind her.
