Chapter 58 Su Cheng, you are now the county magistrate
The distribution of rice porridge and steamed buns at Shenjia Buzhuang continued to ferment over the next three days.
The victims stay here every day, waiting for food from the Shen family.
They did not spread the news outside, just so that they could eat alone.
If more people know about such a good place, wouldn’t they have nothing to eat?
People are all selfish.
Only Shen Zhennan was worried about his food and sighed every day.
However, Magistrate Wang did not return for the past three days, which made Shen Zhennan extremely anxious.
However, in the past few days, news has come from time to time that the doors of many large households were broken down by disaster victims and they went in to steal food.
This also made Shen Zhennan feel better.
At least the Shen family's food is still there, and no one is besieging them.
"There is no way to go on like this. If this matter is not resolved, we Shen family tenant farmers will not be able to leave the city to cultivate the land!"
Starting from the fourth day, Shen Zhennan became anxious. He came to Su Cheng early in the morning to discuss!
Although we don’t spend a lot of food every day, we can’t go on like this forever, right?
The Shen family is not a philanthropist!
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Didn't I say that Magistrate Wang went to Xincheng County? This is already the fourth day. Counting the day Magistrate Wang has passed, it is already the fifth day.
Why hasn't Magistrate Wang come back after such a long time?
Moreover, there was no news from the prefect. He had no news about whether troops would be dispatched or how many troops would be dispatched.
If the situation is allowed to develop, it will be very detrimental to the Shen family!
Several large houses in the city were robbed, which is equivalent to opening Pandora's box and will encourage those victims to rob.
"Father, it seems that this matter..."
Su Cheng just opened his mouth to speak, but before he finished speaking, a guard's frightened voice came from outside: "No... it's not good!"
The sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and the guard at the door rushed into the hall with a panicked look: "Sir, Mr. Wang is outside the mansion with many officers and soldiers."
"What, Mr. Wang is back and has brought officers and soldiers with him?"
Shen Zhennan felt happy and rushed over: "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Sir, think about it, Mr. Wang has brought so many officers and soldiers here, who knows what they are here for?" The guard expressed his worries.
Shen Zhennan was stunned.
Yes, Magistrate Wang brought officers and soldiers, but he didn't say it was necessarily a good thing.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
Su Cheng thought it was nothing. With his friendship with County Magistrate Wang, it was impossible for the other party to take action against him.
After speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the hall. At that moment, Shen Youwei and the other people from the third room also came out, and everyone gathered in the courtyard.
Even Liang Yunrong, who had never shown his face, appeared now!
When Shen Zhennan saw all the Shen family members coming out, he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing here?"
"I sent someone to notify them all to come here!"
Magistrate Wang's voice came from the door of the mansion.
Everyone turned around and saw Magistrate Wang walking forward with a tall military general wearing armor.
At the same time, there were two officers and soldiers behind them holding two trays covered with red cloth. It was unknown what was placed inside.
"Master Wang, you are finally back. Who is this?" Shen Zhennan went up to greet him and asked with a smile.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Magistrate Wang is finally back, and someone has finally taken care of the affairs of the victims.
"This is Liu Changfeng, the commander of the Jiangzhou camp. He was ordered to come here with a thousand troops and horses!" Wang Defa introduced with a smile.
Commander, this is a military attaché of the sixth rank!
The official position of the county magistrate is higher than that of Wang Defa.
"I've met Mr. Liu Qian!"
Except for Su Cheng, everyone in the Shen family saluted Liu Changfeng.
Liu Changfeng, on the other hand, bowed his hands to Su Cheng with a serious look on his face and saluted: "I have met the Marquis!"
It can be seen that Liu Changfeng has learned Su Cheng's identity from Wang Defa.
But Su Cheng was a little strange. Didn't Wang Defa go to Xincheng County? Why did he hang out with this captain from Jiangzhou?
It seems that Wang Defa has done a lot of things in the past few days since he disappeared!
"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Liu Qian, I'm just a prince without a title."
Su Cheng laughed at himself, and then looked at Wang Defa: "I don't know what Mr. Wang has been doing these past few days since he disappeared. Liuhe County is now in chaos, and I am just waiting for you to come back and take charge of the overall situation."
Judging from the excitement on Wang Defa's face, this person must have done something extraordinary in the past few days.
What is there on earth that deserves this person to stay in Liuhe County?
While Su Cheng was deep in thought, Wang Defa laughed loudly: "Master Hou, it's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's that I can't take care of Liuhe County now."
As soon as the word "this mansion" came out, everyone in the Shen family was shocked.
This is what only a magistrate calls himself.
Could it be that Wang Defa was directly promoted from county magistrate to prefect?
You must know that the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, and the prefect is a fourth-rank official. There is still a gap of three ranks!
Even Su Cheng was a little surprised: "Master Wang, has he been promoted to prefect?"
"Hahahaha, thanks to you, Lord Marquis, during this drought in Jiangzhou, only my Liuhe County had a good harvest. The governor directly promoted me to the prefect of Jizhou."
Wang Defa laughed and said: "If it weren't for your hybrid rice, Mr. Marquis, I wouldn't be able to advance to the third level so easily."
"In the past few days, after receiving the order, I also went to Jiangzhou to explain some matters to Mr. Zhou."
"By the way, this promotion is all due to you, Lord Marquis. For this reason, I recommend you, Lord Marquis, to serve as the magistrate of Liuhe County!"
"Lord Zhou has agreed, and the official uniform and official seal have been prepared for you, Lord Marquis."
"Someone, bring it up!"
Wang Defa waved his hand, and the two people holding the trays immediately stepped forward.
Wang Defa personally opened the red cloth, revealing the official seal and official uniform inside.
When the Shen family members saw this scene, they were overjoyed.
If Su Cheng becomes the county magistrate, then the Shen family can go sideways in Liuhe County from now on.
"Oh, thank you so much for the recommendation, Mr. Wang!"
Shen Zhennan's beard trembled with excitement, and his face was filled with excitement.
Only then did the other Shen family members react, with happy expressions on their faces.
Once a county magistrate is born in the family, the Shen family will never be the same again.
Even Shen Youwei looked at the official seal and official uniform with curiosity.
I never thought that she, Shen Youwei, would one day become the county magistrate's wife!
This guy Su Cheng is quite powerful. In just a short time, he actually became the county magistrate.
At this moment, almost everyone was happy that Su Cheng became the county magistrate!
But only Su Changcheng sighed.
This Wang Defa is really cunning!
Taking advantage of the great harvest in Liuhe County, he was directly promoted to prefect, leaving behind such a huge mess.
Now in Liuhe County, disaster victims are running around almost everywhere, but if you are not careful, big trouble will happen!
Wang Defa left, but now all the victims in other counties have to be dealt with by him.
It can be said that the current position of Liuhe County Magistrate is a hot potato!
He doesn't want to take this position.
He just wants to be a door-to-door son-in-law in the Shen family and a soft-boiled person.
Being a county magistrate is so tiring.
However, the idea just came up, and before he could refuse it, Shen Youwei on the side took the lead and said:
"My husband-in-law is extremely smart. Under my husband-in-law's governance, Liuhe County will definitely surpass other counties!"
After saying that, she took over the official seal and official uniform.
