Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog
Chapter 203 County Magistrate
Yamen runner: "There will definitely be someone! And I know that Wu's matter has nothing to do with you, sir."
"Not only did he not leave that day, he also joined everyone in resisting the disaster victims."
"It shows that the Lord still cares about us. Now it is just fate that has implicated us because of Wu."
"But I know clearly that the master is the master, and Mrs. Wu is Mrs. Wu. The master has done so many things for us, and it will not be written off just because of Mrs. Wu's matter."
"At least, I still remember it in my heart."
The county magistrate's heart was shaken, and his eyes were hot. "...You still remember."
The bailiff nodded vigorously.
The county magistrate smiled bitterly: "I am not as noble as you think. I just want to make some achievements to get promoted. I have failed your trust."
The yamen runner hurriedly said, "No, no, I didn't let you down."
"No matter what the adults want to do, the reality is that it falls on us."
"I only know that our lives have been getting better and better since the adults came."
"I used to just live one day at a time, but now I know a few words and understand some truths."
"My son, originally I just wanted him to inherit my legacy and continue to work as a yamen runner in the county government, and then my descendants will all be like this."
"But now, I want to send him to school, let him learn to read and write, and pass the imperial examination in the future, so that he can work for the welfare of the people!"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
The bailiff was a little nervous: "...Did I say something wrong?"
"No." The magistrate replied, but tears were streaming down his cheeks.
Bailiff:...It doesn’t look like there isn’t any.
"It's true." The county magistrate wiped the tears from his face and forced a smile.
This smile didn't seem forced like before, nor was it as intimidating as it was in the county government before.
Kind of like, kind of like...
The bailiff thought about it, and it was a bit like he was remembering his carefree childhood when he went up the mountains to hunt birds and dived into the water to fish with his friends.
A smile appeared unconsciously on his face.
The county magistrate said: "I thought I was smart, but in the end I was fooled by my own cleverness and forgot my original intention."
"Xu Meng, thank you."
The yamen runner was surprised: "Your Excellency actually knows my name?"
County Magistrate: "Yes, I know. I not only know yours, but also everyone in the county government."
"I have a very good memory, although not to the point of photographic memory, but when I was in school, I could remember everything after reading a book two or three times."
The yamen runner opened his mouth wide, "Oh my God! Sir, you are so smart, you are worthy of being able to pass the imperial examination!"
The county magistrate laughed a few times, showing a rare bit of pride, "My former classmates and teachers all said so."
After saying this, he blinked his eyes and became more lively like a teenager.
"Let your son study hard and remember to remind him not to forget his original intention."
"After so many years, I am going to look for my previous ambitions."
It is impossible to plead for the people, but he can save the country in a roundabout way.
Besides, his knowledge was gained from the people (he was sponsored by villagers when he was studying), and he must use it for the people.
Officials can do practical things for the people, and he can train officials for the people.
The county magistrate stared into the distance and for the first time felt himself so relaxed both physically and mentally.
It turns out that what he wanted was very simple, but he just forgot it before.
But it doesn't matter, he still has time.
Many years later, when Master Yuan, who was famous throughout the world and had many students all over the world, recalled the turning points in his first half of life, he inevitably mentioned a man named Xu Meng.
He said that it was he who "spoke to me and helped me find myself", and he was grateful to him for the rest of his life.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and under the leadership of Xie Pingzhang, the county recovered at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, the county gate was finally opened, and Su Yan was able to learn about his parents.
Su's father and mother had already returned to Qianshan Village at that time. Because of their meritorious service in catching the thief, their entire village was praised by Xie Pingzhang, and some money for medicine was approved.
Su's father did not let Su's mother tell Su Yan about his injury.
After meeting again after a long absence, Su Yan and her mother hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After crying, the two reported their recent situation to each other.
Only then did Su Yan realize that Wang Dasheng and his beasts had happened to run to their hiding place in Qianshan Village.
Fortunately, Wang Yi and his men arrived in time and they were able to escape death.
After this incident, Su's father and mother unanimously decided to do their best to buy a house in the county. Even if it was in the slums, it was better than in the countryside.
At least it's much safer with the city walls.
Su Yan thought about what happened to her and felt that what her mother said made sense.
Although the county was attacked, it was because the city gates were opened by traitors, otherwise the county would not necessarily have been in trouble.
So she thought it was normal for the Su family to have such a plan, and asked them to tell her if they had any difficulties.
If there is not enough money to buy a house, she will make up some of it later.
Mother Su shook her head repeatedly, "How can I take yours?"
"Use a bowl that fits your appetite. If you can afford it, buy good quality. If you can't, buy something worse."
Su Yan didn't say anything, but she decided in her heart that she would help out when the time came.
It is one thing for Su's father and mother to not want him, but it is another thing for her to show some kindness.
But it’s too early to say this now. For the time being, the Su family has no plans to move to the county town.
Su's mother stayed in the county for a day and then went back because she was worried about Su's father at home.
Su Yan and He An's injuries were recovering day by day, and the days went on.
Everything in the county is gradually back on track.
One thing that happened was that everyone in the county government was promoted.
Since there was no county magistrate, the position became vacant.
So Xie Pingzhang asked the county magistrate to temporarily take over as the county magistrate, and He Qishu was promoted to the position of county magistrate.
The former county lieutenant was transferred to the provincial capital to serve as an official with Xie Pingzhang because of his meritorious service in protecting the county.
Yes, Xie Pingzhang temporarily took over the position of prefect in order to better comfort the remaining victims.
Those disaster victims have been pardoned because of Wang Yi's contribution in successfully capturing Wang Dasheng and others.
But it is impossible for Xie Pingzhang to let tens of thousands of people leave like that. What if something happens somewhere else? Wouldn’t his efforts in suppressing the rebellion be in vain?
So he reorganized the county and quickly led a large army to take the victims away.
The county here cannot absorb all these disaster victims, so we have to go to a larger place and re-allocate the areas for them so that they can settle down and not cause trouble in the future.
After Xie Pingzhang and his men left, the county was very happy.
No matter whether it was the army or the victims, they were clearly outside the city, but the people in the county could not let go of their worries.
Now that Xie Pingzhang has taken everything away at once, they can finally live their lives in peace.
