The crowing of cockerels cut through the sky, and the horizon began to turn pale.

Once the weather gets cold, there are fewer crops to tend to in the fields, so people don't get up as early as before.

After the rooster crowed for the third time, more and more people came to the street.

The little boy who was going to the county school held a steamed bread in his mouth, grabbed it with his little hands, and ran to the county school with his school box.

"The teacher said today is the last day of school before the New Year! Mom, after school today I want to eat meat buns instead of steamed corn bread, damn!"

A young woman ran out with a washcloth in her hand and shouted at his back, "You haven't washed your face yet! You haven't washed your face yet! You're such a dirty monkey!"

As a mother, you know the character of your own child.

The woman looked at the child's back as he walked away and shook her head. "I'm afraid I'll have to save my face for the evening. It's just a small matter, so I can't trouble you gentlemen..."

After saying that, she sighed and turned around. Just as she was about to close the door, a scream pierced the sky -

"Mother! Black people! There are black people! There are black people in our county, come and see - mother!"

The little brat's roar not only called out his mother, but also called out other people's mothers.

Black people?

When the people heard this, they thought, “Isn’t this a weirdo coming to the county? They have lived for most of their lives and have never seen a black person before.”

A few heads popped out of the house, and some even picked up weapons.

When I looked up, I saw that it was just as the kid had said. A dark-skinned man with only the whites of his eyes visible was riding a horse towards me.

"Oh my god—"

The common people cried out in surprise, pointing at the approaching horse and saying, "Where are these people from? I'm afraid they are not from our Great Zhou?"

"Let's not talk about whether he is from our Great Zhou or not. He is so dark... Is he still a human being?"

The people were both afraid and curious, but based on the principle that "the people of Tongan County have the obligation to protect the peace of Tongan County", someone took action.

Suddenly, a shovel appeared out of nowhere. A silver light flashed, and the long handle of the shovel blocked the horse's way. If the horse could speak, it would definitely say, "At that time, the shovel was only half an half an half an half an inch away from my nose."

The horse was frightened, and the rider was also frightened, so he quickly reined in the horse.

"Uu——"

The dust raised by the horse's hooves blinded everyone's vision. In a trance, the "black man" had a mouthful of teeth that were so white...

Then, the "black man" spoke, speaking with a genuine Tong'an County accent: "What are you doing?! What if the horse hits you!"

The people exclaimed: "He can also speak our Great Zhou language!"

"It's even our Liuyang Prefecture accent!"

"This man has ulterior motives. Quickly take him off his horse and send him to the county government office. Let Captain Zhao interrogate him strictly!"

Having said that, no one dared to step forward for the time being - they were afraid that the person on the horse would suddenly attack and hurt someone.

"Send me to the county government office?" The man on horseback was amused when he heard this and wanted to tease them: "I am just about to go to the county government office to look for Lord Shen. Let's go together!"

"What?"

The common people looked at each other, feeling somewhat uncertain, and whispered, "Does this guy know our Lord? What on earth is he doing here?"

"I don't know... How about we go with him? If he dares to be disrespectful to you, we can take him down!"

"Good idea! Let's go together!"

The people were numerous and powerful, and although they were unsure, they still straightened their backs and followed the people on horseback to the county government office.

Along the way, more and more people joined in. Someone in the crowd stared at the man on the horse and muttered, "Why do I feel that this person looks familiar..."

As soon as this was said, it immediately resonated with people: "You think so too? I feel that this person looks like... the deceased landlord Wang."

The other party slapped his thigh and said, "I think so too! Do you think this man could be the illegitimate son of Landlord Wang who came to snatch the family property from Young Master Wang after knowing that Landlord Wang died?"

The two looked at each other.

It’s broken!

"This man did nothing when he was alive, and now he's causing trouble for the children after his death? What a beast!"

"You said this guy is so dark, what does his mother look like?"

"..."

The people on horseback couldn't help themselves as they heard the people talking more and more outrageous words.

The horse slowed down its pace, and he lowered his head and asked, "Fellow countryman, I'm so close to you, how come you didn't realize who I am?"

The two were stunned and looked at each other again.

"He looks exactly like Prince Wang..."

"What do you mean Prince Wang? You should call him President Wang!"

Ever since Wang Guangjin took on the important task and left Wei Que, the people have recognized him as the president - they are a dozen or twenty years older than Wang Guangjin, and they do not have the courage and perseverance to leave home to do business.

The black face was so close that even if the two men had poor eyesight, they could still see something unusual.

The person in front of me is not the illegitimate son of landlord Wang!

This eyebrow! This eye! This mouth! This nose! This is so familiar, who else could it be other than Prince Wang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce who had left the county to buy cotton before!

“King, King, King…President!”

Oh my god! This "middle-aged man" who is as black as charcoal seems to be the president of their Chamber of Commerce!

"Hey——" The man on the horse smiled when he heard that. He held the reins with one hand and waved at them with the other hand, "It's me."

"This black egg is really President Wang!"

"How come after going to the West, you become a different person and look a lot older? You must have suffered a lot!"

The people were terrified, and a rumor spread throughout Tongan County that the West was not a place for people to stay.

......

Tongan County Government Office.

"......" Shen Zheng looked at the person in front of her who smelled like mutton, and couldn't help laughing: "It's hard for the people to recognize you. This trip to the county, you really are...very experienced."

Wang Guangjin saw Shen Zheng also laughing at him, and looked aggrieved: "Sir, you don't know, the wind and sand over there are so strong, the sun can't even be said to be basking people, it's scorching people!"

He reached out and touched his sunburned face, sighing, "Besides, the food there is different from ours. When I first went there, I had diarrhea every day. It was really..."

I really want to cry when I think about it.

but.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled: "This time when I went there, I saw a different world, a world I had never seen before."

He stopped complaining and his eyes shone brightly: "The scenery over there is like a painting, like a dream. The lakes and mountains, the vast grasslands... My lord, you must go and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Great Zhou in the future."

Shen Zheng had a smile on her face and was listening to him with her chin in her hand.

Talk about the scenery there, the culture there, the food there, and the interesting things encountered along the way.

He spoke vividly and even danced with excitement.

so good.
