Yu Zhi also knew that Zhai Yougui was following behind, so she just smiled and said nothing.

Naturally, he had to go back for lunch, just try some snacks. If he ate out, Yu Zhi was worried that the little kid would be acclimatized. Children's stomachs are weaker than adults.

The mother and son had lunch together. Wen Jiuxiao was not at the county office and said he was going downstairs to check on the public. Yu Zhi pouted, wasn't it just a private visit incognito? It was as if no one understood.

What Yu Zhi didn't know was that Wen Jiuxiao went out on a donkey. Riding a horse was too conspicuous, so he switched to a donkey. Such a tall man with such long legs, riding on the back of a small donkey, looked like his legs.

I felt aggrieved. The aura he had all over his body was totally inconsistent with that of a little donkey. It was extremely inconsistent.

I heard that Jiuxiao still feels good about herself, and apart from wasting her legs, she has no major problems.

Qingfeng is his number one henchman. Even if he hears Jiuxiao saying that farts smell good, he can shout three times with a sincere expression: "Smell, smell, smell." Now, what's wrong with his master riding a donkey? That's also majestic and graceful.

Zhuo Zhengyang is a die-hard fan of Wen Jiuxiao, so naturally he can do what the adults say. It is right for the adults to ride on the donkey. Look, the adult sitting on the back of the donkey is so majestic, free and easy, a rich man.

spirit!

As for Dahu, who was following him as a guide... he was immersed in the surprise of "Ah, ah, I actually rode a donkey in my lifetime." He could only see his donkey and nothing else.

After climbing over a mountain, Dahu pointed ahead and said, "Sir, that's the quarry over there. Be careful, the road is not easy."

Shanyun County is so poor that even the fields are not fertile. The prisoners assigned to Shanyun County cannot be resettled and have to be sent to the quarry. The big tiger has never been to this place. I only heard from the boss that he knows something.

The general location, I know the quarry is having a hard time, but I don’t know the specifics.

The county magistrate said he wanted to come and take a look, so he came with his people.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the donkeys were left behind at the bottom of the mountain. Dahu was used to walking on mountain roads. Wen Jiuxiao had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his legs and feet were nimble, so he didn't find it too difficult. Qingfeng and Zhuo Zhengyang were miserable. They had never experienced such a situation.

Road, is this called a road? There are rocks everywhere, big rocks, small rocks, gravels, and there is not even a place to stay.

The weather was so hot that the two of them were panting like dogs. If Wen Jiuxiao and Dahu hadn't been dragging each other, they would have fallen behind.

In the quarry, everyone worked under the scorching sun, with tattered clothes hanging like strips of cloth on their bodies, mechanical movements, numb eyes, and whips falling on their bodies from time to time.

"Hurry up, why are you pretending? You don't want to do it? You old thing, I think you don't want to eat, right?"

"Please be kind to the chief steward. He is really not pretending. My husband-in-law fell ill the day before yesterday and he really has no strength. Please do me a favor and let him rest for a long time!" The wife of the man who was whipped begged, full of wind and frost.

His face was extremely sad.

"Have a rest for a long time? What good things are you thinking about? Do you think you are still pampered officials? Humph, when you get to this place, everyone will work for me honestly. Get up, get up and work quickly." The vicious and vicious voice was particularly harsh.

Not only did no one around him come forward, but the expressions on their faces did not change at all, as if they were used to it.

Wen Jiuxiao couldn't help but frown. When he saw the face of the man with closed eyes in the woman's arms, he frowned even more tightly. He strode over and grabbed the steward's arm.

"Who are you?" The chief steward was grabbed by the arm and was very angry. He turned around and saw Wen Jiuxiao's face and swallowed back the curse that was on his lips.

Wen Jiuxiao ignored him and walked straight to the man on the ground, "Master Xu!"

The woman raised her head suddenly and saw an extraordinary young man. She couldn't help but ask: "You know my husband-in-law, who are you?"

"Mrs. Xu." Wen Jiuxiao nodded to her, "A certain surname is Wen, from the capital. I have met Mr. Xu in the past years."

The woman felt relieved. No wonder people from the capital knew her husband-in-law. Just as she was about to speak, she felt the person in her arms move. She quickly lowered her head to look. "My husband, are you awake?!" Sure enough, she saw her husband.

My husband opened his eyes.

"You, you are... Mr. Xiaowen?" Xu Daochong tried hard to distinguish and recognized the young man in front of him. He was very surprised, "Why are you here."

"I was released and took over as the magistrate of Shanyun County." Wen Jiuxiao said in an understatement.

"You..." Xu Daochong's mood became even more complicated. Unlike others who didn't know the details, Xu Daochong was a Beijing official, served in the Ministry of Rites, and had also served as deputy examiner of Chun Wei. Naturally, he knew very well how much Wen Jiuxiao was highly valued by the emperor.

Even if a young and promising talent like him had to be sent abroad, he would not come to a place like Shanyun County. Was this because he offended the emperor and was demoted?

Then he laughed at himself, saying that he himself had become a sinner. The Clay Bodhisattva was crossing the river, and he could not save himself. He still had time to worry about others.

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. Shanyun County is very good, with a lot of fruits." Wen Jiuxiao didn't reveal too much. Seeing his weak appearance, he said: "Master Xu, must he be ill? How can I place you in this place?"

?Forget it, Mrs. Xu, who else is at home? Come with me."

The work in the quarry is so heavy. Since we bumped into him, we can't just let people die here, right? Wen Jiuxiao knew very well that Xu Daochong didn't commit any crime at all, he was just implicated by others.

"No! Xu is a criminal now and cannot implicate Mr. Xiaowen." Xu Daochong waved his hand quickly.

After listening to Xu Daochong's words, the light in the woman's eyes dimmed.

"What's the implication of this? Wen is now the parent officer of Shanyun County. Since he is assigned here, even if he is a criminal, he is still a common person under Wen's rule. Let's go, Wen will send you to see a doctor until you recover.

Well, Wen will find something else for you to do."

He said that Lan Huanping was really cowardly. If a talented person like Xu Daochong was sent to a quarry and stayed in the county government as a clerk, wouldn't it save him a lot of trouble?

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Xiaowen." Xu Daochong felt very guilty. If it were him, he would probably give up his life. But when he saw the white hair on his old wife's head and thought of his little son who was so thin that he couldn't help it.

Reject again.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaowen!" The woman was also extremely grateful. She was obviously happy, but she shed tears.

"This, this..." When the chief steward heard that Wen Jiuxiao was the newly appointed county magistrate, his expression changed. Now seeing that he was going to take Xu Daochong's family away, he subconsciously stepped forward to stop him.

Dahu pushed him aside and said, "What are you doing? Do you dare to be disrespectful to me?" The knife on his waist was half drawn, and if Dayou dared to move rashly, he would chop him in half.

The chief steward was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Your Majesty is aware of this, but I don't dare." How dare he be disrespectful to the county magistrate? "Xu Daochong is a convict who was sent here. Sir, you want to take him away."

, the villain can’t explain to the boss!”

Zhuo Zhengyang sneered, "Who is your boss? Could it be that he is bigger than Mr. Wen? As the parent official of this county, doesn't Mr. Wen even have the right to transfer a few people?"

"Little people don't dare, little people don't dare." The big steward's head touched the ground, his face turned earth-colored.

"I see that you are very brave! I see that in this quarry, everyone has little food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. As a big manager, you are showing off your power. You are even more majestic than me! The imperial court sent them here.

It is for them to atone for their sins, not for them to die. If anyone comes, please take him into custody first, and I will deal with it later."

I wanted to write another chapter in the evening, but I had to go to Zaozhuang somewhere, and my family members were all there, so He He had no choice but to go. Haha, I will try my best to update it tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
