Chapter 424: Night Tour of the County Government
"Sir, please sit down." The village chief's wife poured the tea nervously. The village chief couldn't bear it, so he snatched the teapot and poured it himself.
Xu Qianqian also lowered her head and served tea and food to the constables and the militiamen. It was not that she wanted to do this, but her father specifically told her that she had to behave well in order to have a chance to be arranged by the county magistrate to be with the noble.
She had no choice but to do as she was told. Her hatred for Xu Ning's family deepened. If it weren't for Xu Ning's family, she would be the one next to the nobleman now!
As he thought about it, dissatisfaction appeared on his face. The constables and militiamen who were already unhappy because of running all the way looked even uglier. But seeing that their parents were enduring it, they could only drink the tea angrily and put the cup down.
The voice scared Xu Qianqian. She opened her eyes wide, looking like she was being bullied.
Some villagers wanted to speak, but were quickly stopped by the village chief.
"Village chief, that person is bullying Qianqian! We watched Qianqian grow up!"
"That's right, these people have nothing to be proud of. After today is over, maybe they will still work for us!"
"That's right, he has no sense at all, no wonder he is still a young man!"
"Alright. Stop talking. Can't you see that the adults look unhappy?" The village chief had a polite smile on his face and refilled the cups of tea for the militiamen and constables who had just finished drinking it. At the same time, he felt a little dissatisfied with these people.
Dissatisfied with these people for not giving him face, he thought to himself that when his daughter hooked up with a noble man, he would make these people suffer.
And these villagers in the village, if they were not still useful to him now, he would have wanted to kill them long ago. He has not forgotten what they were doing when his daughter and wife were bullied by that group of people!
"Xu Shuan, right?" The county magistrate suddenly spoke, interrupting the thoughts of the chief of Xujia Village.
"Yes, sir. What do you want me to do?" The village chief had a flattering smile on his face. The county magistrate looked at him as if he saw the old dog in the backyard and couldn't help laughing.
"Shuanzi, don't be nervous. This is a good thing. It is arranged by the noble. Seeing that you are brave and resourceful, the noble has specially arranged a good place for you and everyone present. It is the best place in the whole Qin County. Even the North City may not be able to find a good place. It is unique and precious."
The county magistrate paused for a moment, and seeing that their eyes were all shining, he picked up the teacup to hide his uncontrollable smile, took a sip of tea to suppress it, and then continued: "The nobleman values you very much and has given you the best place. You must do your job well."
"Of course, of course!" the village chief quickly responded, and the others responded in a similar manner.
Xu Qianqian's eyes lit up again and again. She thought to herself, that man must have disliked Xu Ning a long time ago, otherwise why didn't he let Xu Ning's family live in such a good place, but gave it to her instead? This shows that in that man's heart, she is more important than Xu Ning.
Thinking of this, Xu Qianqian's heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and her face showed the delicate look of a little girl.
It's just that her skin was dark and her face was full of pits and dents. At first glance, she looked uglier than the old lady who lived in the county magistrate's house. The expression she showed at this moment really shocked the county magistrate and the people he brought with him.
The county magistrate was even more thinking that he would have to take a few more glances at his concubine to refresh his eyes after returning.
Also because he was disgusted, the county magistrate became impatient in his words.
"Of course this good place won't wait for anyone. The noble said that if no one is there by tomorrow morning, then there's no need to go."
"How can that be possible! Sir, we can set off now!"
"Yes, yes, sir, we can go now!"
If we walk to the county government office from now, we will arrive in the morning!
"Oh, don't worry. After all, this is your home. It won't be too late for me to sit here and wait for you to pack up before leaving." The county magistrate was laughing in his heart, but he looked very reasonable on the surface.
The village chief Xu Qianqian and others had no intention of staying in this shabby place, but they still had some valuables, so they just apologized to the county magistrate and ran back to pack up their things.
The county magistrate and his men exchanged a glance, and the others understood what the county magistrate meant. They were planning to take all these people back without any effort, and they would follow him back out of gratitude.
Thinking about where these people were going, the unhappiness in the hearts of the people brought by the county magistrate was relieved a lot.
Not long after, all the people from Xujia Village arrived. After repeated urging from the village chief of Xujia Village, the county magistrate agreed to set off.
When passing by Xu Ning's house, the county magistrate deliberately asked the carriage to slow down. The people in Xujia Village found it strange but did not dare to question it, so they could only slow down their pace.
Xu Qianqian looked at the Xu family's gate with hatred, her eyes seemed to see through it, and her eyes were filled with burning hatred.
Afterwards, she followed the county magistrate's carriage with an air of superiority, not realizing that there was anything wrong.
Halfway through the journey, the county magistrate couldn't resist his sleepiness and fell asleep in the carriage. The lawyer hurriedly ordered the coachman to slow down.
At first, the people in Xujia Village were happy. Since leaving Xujia Village, the carriage has been speeding all the way, which almost made them vomit. Now that they can slow down, they can also take a deep breath.
Especially the village chief of Xujia Village, he originally had an ox cart, but unfortunately it was occupied by a group of constables.
He almost burst his lungs running after being chased all the way.
The detectives laughed crazily at this scene, and after they flattered the village chief of Xujia Village, the village chief willingly gave up the ox cart.
The reason why the chief of Xujia Village was willing to do it was because the arrests had spoken his mind, and he was indeed a little bit arrogant. With a high position and a lot of money in the future, why would he need a bullock cart?!
Those who were dreaming sweet dreams along the way could not be awakened. As daybreak approached, they became more anxious than the county magistrate and wished they could carry the carriage away.
The lawyer thought about it and decided that seeing such a joyful scene, he should still wake up his master.
The county magistrate was a little unhappy when he woke up after sleeping uncomfortably. However, after seeing the flattering old face of the village chief of Xujia Village, his temper subsided a little.
"Shuanzi, I'm considering your health. Since you want to go faster, then follow me!"
After saying this, he lowered the carriage curtain and the county magistrate tried to hold back his laughter so hard that his face became distorted.
The driver cracked his whip and the horse ran away quickly in pain.
The ox cart at the back also cracked the whip when seeing this, and the oxen, noticing that it was not so dark anymore, also obediently sped up.
At daybreak, a group of people finally arrived at the Qin County government office.
The county magistrate got off the carriage, straightened his official uniform, and then looked at the people in Xujia Village with a meaningful smile.
"Everyone has worked hard on the journey. The county government has prepared delicious food. Please come in!"
A group of people rushed forward, and Xu Qianqian and her mother fell behind. Seeing that her mother didn't leave after arriving at the county government office, Xu Qianqian anxiously pulled her arm: "Mom, hurry up, the delicious food will be snatched up soon!"
The village head's wife felt very uneasy. She always felt like she would never be able to get out once she entered, and she was reluctant to move.
This is the county government office, how could there be some delicious food waiting for them inside?
Could it be that the county magistrate deliberately deceived them?
When the village head's wife saw the county magistrate's face, she became even more panicked. However, Xu Qianqian was so focused on her own wealth and glory that she didn't care at all and dragged her mother in forcibly.
As the gate of the county government office was slowly closed, the people from Xujia Village who were still looking for food in the lobby of the county government office had no idea that various customized dishes would be served one-on-one next.
