"The county magistrate is a native of Xiangquan. Because of this matter, he had a falling out with the old lady and moved out."
Seng Fan frowned, "Isn't this unfilial?"
The State of Zhao attaches great importance to filial piety. If an official is unfilial, he will be impeached, or even worse, he may even lose his official position.
"Your Excellency, the county magistrate," the waiter pointed upwards with his finger, "so we have been in peace and harmony these past few years."
"However, regardless of these, the county magistrate is indeed a good official."
Zhao Jin glanced at the waiter and saw that he was praising Yan Zheng from the bottom of his heart.
After the waiter left, Seng Fan whispered: "No matter what, it is too much to fall out with your mother over a girl who doesn't know where she came from."
Zhao Jin tapped the table with his fingertips, "I haven't seen the truth and just heard it, so don't make a judgment easily."
However, Zhao Jin smiled. The name and personality of this county magistrate were quite different.
Yan Zheng, many of the things he did were regarded as deviant and apostate by the people of the time.
After having lunch, Zhao Jin did not leave immediately, but listened to the voices of people talking in the restaurant.
The restaurant has many customers, so you can often get a lot of useful information.
It was not until Shenshi that the sun gradually set in the west. Zhao Jin put down the quilt in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go to the port."
The port was actually a bit more lively than the market that Zhao and Jin had walked along.
Ships of various sizes were returning from the sea, with fishermen and strong men unloading their cargo.
The different outfits of Zhao and Jin immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Most of the people who are busy at the port are wearing short shirts.
"It seems that Xiangquan's trade is indeed very prosperous."
Zhao Jin walked along the port and almost visited the entire port.
He was naturally aware of those secretly observing eyes, but his expression remained unchanged and calm.
At the same time, Zhao Jin also discovered something. The entire port seemed to be divided into two halves, with clear lines and people on both sides barely talking to each other.
Even the flags on the ships on both sides happened to be different.
The one on the left is a sea turtle, and the one on the right is a whale?
Zhao Jin thought he had seen it wrong, but when he got closer, he saw that it was really a whale.
"There are quite a few Western businessmen here," Qin Heng said.
However, what Xiti and others did in Yunzhou City made them not have a good impression of these foreign businessmen.
In fact, Qin Heng and Seng Fan don't quite understand why the Lord attaches so much importance to the business with these barbarians.
The unusual behavior of Zhao Jin and his group made people around him have different thoughts, and some people couldn't help but come forward.
"I wonder what this young master is talking about here?"
The person who came here was not wearing coarse cloth and short brown clothes like those who were working at the port, but he looked like a steward.
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and said softly: "I just came here to take a look."
The other party smiled, but what he said was not very polite, "Then you should go back early, there is nothing interesting in this port."
The implication is that Zhao Jin and others are to be driven away.
In fact, if Zhao and Jin hadn't been dressed in extraordinary ways, he would have driven them away long ago.
Seng Fan frowned and took a step forward, "What do you mean?"
The visitor glanced at Seng Fan and was a little unsure of Seng Fan's identity.
"Is it possible that others are not allowed to come and take a look here?" Zhao Jin put one hand behind his back and spoke a little slowly, but his words were powerful and a little sharp.
"But, this is the port of our Wei family."
Qin Heng twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why, we can't come to your port?"
Although the other party was not said to be rude, his expression was always a bit condescending.
"Without the consent of the Wei family, you can't come." After saying this several times, the three of them refused to leave, and he lost his patience.
Zhao Jin looked slightly cold, "It turns out that Xiangquan still has such rules."
The place where they are located is a certain distance from the ship and will not disturb them, so normally, Zhao and Jin can stay here.
Even if this port belongs to the Wei family as the other party said.
but……
Zhao Jin turned his attention to the busy port and asked without any emotion: "You said this port belongs to your Wei family?"
Of course not.
The other party's expression was slightly stiff.
It's just that the Wei family is responsible for this half of the port and is also in charge of it. In fact, the port belongs to the county government.
"Wei family..." Zhao Jin murmured in a low voice, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
Before Qin Heng left, he glanced at the people who were frozen in place and raised his eyebrows, looking rather gloating.
Zhao Jin did not go anywhere else.
It was already dark, and they walked directly towards the county government office.
Yan Zheng was having a meal with his wife affectionately, when the Yamen Guard ran in in a panic.
Yan Zheng, whose interest was disturbed, darkened, "Why are you so alarmed?"
"Sir, there is someone outside claiming to be the governor of Yunzhou County!"
"Jiang Zheng?" Yan Zheng was stunned, put down the chopsticks in his hands, and said to the woman beside him: "Madam, I'll go and see what's going on first, and you can eat first."
He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and walked out quickly.
As he walked, he asked, "Does he have anything else to say?"
"No, I just wanted to see the adults."
Yan Zheng frowned, "Why did the Sheriff come to Xiangquan?"
At this time, Zhao and Jin were waiting in the flower hall.
Yan Zheng was still a little skeptical when he came, but when he looked up, he saw a face that was somewhat similar to that of Prince Liang, and he was immediately sure that this must be the eldest prince.
"See you, Lord Sheriff." He bowed solemnly and respectfully.
Zhao Jin was looking at the decorations in the flower hall and waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
"I wonder what you mean when you come here?"
Zhao Jin looked at Yan Zheng and asked, "Does the port in Xiangquan belong to the Wei family?"
Yan Zheng was slightly startled, "How could your Excellency say that? Xiangquan Port belongs to the county government."
Zhao Jin just laughed at Yan Zheng's words.
Qin Heng understood, stood up and sneered: "I thought Xiangquan Port was sold to the Wei family by the government. They were so overbearing that they didn't even look at it."
"Your Excellency, have you gone to Xiangquan Port?"
Zhao Jin sat down directly on the main seat in the flower hall. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked up at Yan Zheng, "Why, you can't go?"
Zhao Jin was clearly sitting and had to raise his head to look at Yan Zheng, so he should be at a disadvantage.
However, Yan Zheng felt a sense of oppression, as if Zhao Jin was not looking up at him, but looking down at him from a high place.
"It's natural for adults to go."
Yan Zheng explained: "Because the government does not understand this aspect, and the Wei family and the Cao family are the two largest shipyards in Xiangquan, we simply handed over the port to them."
"The county government is only responsible for supervision."
Speaking of this, Yan Zheng couldn't help but frown, "What they did is indeed inappropriate. I will call the head of the Wei family to give them a good beating later."
