The county magistrate glanced at Li Er and felt that this man was so familiar.
Look again, why are these legs so weak?
Every year, various state capitals in the Tang Dynasty would send officials to Chang'an City to report on their work.
And because they are relatively close to Chang'an, county officials will also enter Chang'an City and the palace to report news to His Majesty.
Although their official positions are relatively low, they are always located at the back of the main hall.
But his eyes are famous for his good looks. Isn't the person standing in front of him the current Holy Emperor?
At first glance, standing aside, isn't this the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom, Sun Wuji?
Even though I was blind, I recognized it at first sight.
Seeing His Majesty, not being polite and looking at him like that is a crime worthy of death.
My legs trembled, and I suddenly sat down on the ground.
Just as he was about to call out to your majesty, Li Er, with quick eyes and quick hands, hurriedly stepped forward to help the county magistrate up, giving him a hint with his little eyes.
Although he had never met the county magistrate here, he could tell from his words and deeds that he should have recognized his identity.
This is a critical moment, so you can't expose your identity.
"Lord Magistrate, do you feel uncomfortable in your legs?
The doctors at my good brother Zhuangzi's medicine shop are very skilled in medicine.
Do you want me to take the magistrate to the pharmacy?"
"I said, Lao Song, what's wrong with you? You don't have Lao Han's Leg, do you?
How many times have I told you before, asking you not to work overtime so much, why do you get into a fight just because you don't agree with me?
Those who know you are the county magistrate, but those who don’t know think I am the county magistrate.”
"Thank you, thank you, shopkeeper Li."
After hearing this, the county magistrate also understood what His Majesty meant. His Majesty must have a little secret of his own and does not want to reveal his identity. Officials must not delay His Majesty's important events.
"Old Li, this Old Song may not be considered a county magistrate, but he is a very peaceful person.
If you get to know him deeply, you will find that he is very easy to get along with.
And you, Lao Song, even though Lao Li is a businessman, he is not like other businessmen who only have money in his eyes.
He can also be regarded as a patriotic businessman.
Regarding the coal market in Chang'an City, I will leave it all to him. When he goes to the county seat, you should take good care of him!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Speaking of which, I still want to take care of His Majesty. Isn't this just like the old birthday star hanging himself to die?
Seeing His Majesty's smiling expression again, the county magistrate could only nod his head.
"Mr. Zhao, that's for sure, that's for sure.
If shopkeeper Li goes to the county seat, he can go directly to the county government office to find me."
Several people originally planned to chat for a while in the front hall.
"The food in the young master's kitchen has been prepared. Please come and have a meal!"
"Dele, I still want to chat with you for a while.
Lao Li, Lao Song, let’s go, let’s go to the restaurant, we won’t come back until we get drunk tonight!”
That is, that is.
The magistrate picked up his clothes again and wiped his sweat.
It's a privilege to stay with His Majesty without getting drunk. Think about it!
"Lord Magistrate, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep wiping your sweat? Is this room very hot?
Or do you think you have caught wind and cold? If you do, you must take medicine as soon as possible. How about I take you to the drugstore to take a look?"
Linglong, who was standing beside him, looked at the county magistrate and felt that he was a little strange.
"No, it's okay, Miss Linglong, I just feel that the weather is very hot today.
Maybe I got a little angry from what I ate today!"
"I know this. The young master said that sweating is called excessive anger.
Next time you eat, be sure to eat less!"
"That's that."
Mr. Zhao is still more awesome and is a role model for our generation to learn from.
Seeing him chatting and laughing with His Majesty, and calling Him brothers, why do I feel like I want to cry without tears?
Tell me about your stay in the county town. Why did you have to come to this village to join in the fun when you were invited by Mr. Zhao?
I'm so good now, I'm so excited, I can't go back!
At the dinner table, I saw the county magistrate looking coy.
"Old Song, please sit next to Lao Li. You two know each other."
that!
"I didn't expect Master Song to be so polite to the people even though he is an official. This is the first time in my life that I, Old Li, have met you. Master Song, please have a seat!"
"Shopkeeper Li, please take a seat. Please take a seat first!"
I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles eating this meal. Even if the beef that I usually like to eat was arranged, it was tasteless.
Finally, after an hour, the meal was all finished, we chatted for a while, and agreed on all the time and things. The county magistrate got on the carriage, left Zhaojiazhuang, and rushed towards the county seat.
Before leaving.
"I said, Lao Song, it's getting late now, and I've already arranged for people to clear out your guest rooms in Zhuangzi.
Why don't you go back tonight and stay here in Zhuangzi?"
"Mr. Zhao, Shopkeeper Li does have some matters in the county that I have to go back to deal with.
There are still some things that need to be dealt with urgently tomorrow morning, so I won’t be here to accompany you today!”
"I said, Old Song, stop pretending and tell me do you miss your concubine?
I remember a few days ago, didn't you tell me that you wanted to marry a concubine?
It's been several months, and there's been no movement from your concubine.
Or are you saying that you are already married but did not come to inform me? You are not interesting enough."
The county magistrate felt like he was about to cry without tears. While responding with his mouth, he was hammering his chest helplessly in his heart.
Mr. Zhao, this is in front of His Majesty, please let me, Old Song, have some dignity.
"My dear brother, Master Song must be devoted to the people, so the county government must have a lot of things to do.
Since they want to go back, let’s not force them to stay. Let’s have a good talk when we have the opportunity!”
See, Your Majesty still understands what this minister is thinking. After chatting, he got into the carriage and left quickly.
"I said Lao Song is really weird today. Is he really sick?
Otherwise, he is usually a very generous person.
Maybe he really has some kind of illness, and we will have to arrange for some doctors to go to the county town to take a look at him some other time."
After hearing this, Li Er also nodded and echoed.
"Maybe the magistrate has worked too hard and is indeed seriously ill."
In fact, I already know what happened in my heart.
"I am not praising him. Although he is only a county magistrate, he is conscientious and conscientious. No one in the entire county has anything bad to say about him.
Especially to his mother-in-law, he is very kind, and he is simply a good man in the Tang Dynasty.
Including the concubine he was said to be marrying, it was all taken care of by his mother-in-law.
Lao Li, since this matter has been arranged, let's talk about this first today.
Tomorrow you take these people from Zhuangzi to your Li Mansion to transport things there.
Wait until you have arranged everything in the palace before you take my people in!"
"Brother, please just be at ease!"
The two chatted for a while, then returned to their respective rooms, ready to rest.
On the other hand, the county magistrate, driven by a government servant in a carriage, and other guards on horseback, left Zhaojiazhuang for two miles, looked up and took a deep breath.
It's too dangerous tonight.
The guard driving the carriage was very confused and asked.
"Sir, when we usually come to Zhaojiazhuang, don't we always have a night's rest in Zhaojiazhuang?
Why don't you rest there today and rush back to the county seat?"
It seems that there is nothing going on in this county, so we have to deal with it urgently tonight?
The county magistrate sighed again.
These people all followed their brothers from the county government, and originally wanted to tell them the truth.
But when I think about it, why doesn’t His Majesty reveal his identity? He must not want more people to know.
So I had better not cause unnecessary trouble, so I had to open the curtain and slowly said to everyone.
"You must remember that the waters of officialdom are very deep and you cannot grasp them if you are not careful.
If Shopkeeper Li or Shopkeeper Li sends someone to come to our county or come to the county government office to see me, they must be polite.
Otherwise, not even gods can protect you!"
Although the government officials on the side were very confused, since the county magistrate said so, he could only nod in agreement.
But in my heart, I was full of doubts about this so-called Shopkeeper Li.
