Chapter 47: Your Excellency, please take care of your official business
"Something big is going ...... the head"
A group of people hurriedly told the story.
What?
Zhou County Lieutenant and Wang County Cheng are gone?
Lu Zhutou's heart trembled, it was really a big deal.
"Let's go, let's go to the Zhou family and the Wang family to ask about the situation."
The group hurriedly returned to Yunhai County.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.
The industries of the Zhou family and the Wang family have become Ye Qing's industries.
Fortunately, after careful interrogation, investigation.
Everyone determined that the people of the Zhou family and the Wang family left voluntarily.
It wasn't killed by the county order.
"Head, Zhou County Lieutenant and Wang County Cheng have both run away, or we will run too!"
"Run? You think too much, the people of the Zhou family and the Wang family have prepared the back road in advance, and they can live well wherever they go. ”
Lu Zhutou sighed.
If he had connections and money, how could he stay in Yunhai County as a head catcher who couldn't even get a fortune.
"Unlike them, we have no official credentials, no road guides, no money, no relatives, and wherever we go, we will be reduced to the lowest level of displaced people."
Refugee?
The best destination for displaced people who have lost their livelihood is to sell themselves into slavery.
If no one wants it, there are only two options left: to be a widow or to become a beggar.
It's better now.
The officials and catchers instantly lost the idea of leaving Yunhai County.
"Head, what about us?"
"You guys wait here, I'll go to the county magistrate to find out the news."
Lu Zhutou took Nie Lang with him, under everyone's gaze.
Follow the bridge leading to the mud baking and walk towards the island in the middle of the lake.
Stop at the entrance.
"My lord, I will try to see you on the lowly road!"
"What is he here for?"
Ye Qing stopped the irrigation work in his hand.
"Ruoshuang, leave these dug fruit trees and flowers and plants, come out with me to have a look."
"Wait a minute!"
Qin Ruoshuang took out a handkerchief and wiped Ye Qing's face.
She enjoys the feeling of two building their home together.
His affection for Ye Qing is increasing day by day.
Get along with each other every day, and become more and more tacit.
"It's okay, young master, let's go!"
"Hmm!"
The two of them walked one after the other, in the direction of the gate.
Looking at a man and a woman walking slowly, Lu vigorously bowed and saluted.
"I have seen adults and Miss Qin!"
"Humble Nie Lang, I've seen adults, I've seen Miss Qin!"
"No need to be polite, why did you come to me?"
"Back to my lord, the county's official business has not been handled for several days."
Road catcher head straight to the point.
asked a group of officials about the topics that they were most concerned about.
"I don't know if you know where Wang Xiancheng went?"
"I don't know, they can't wait to erase all clues and cut off all ties with Yunhai County."
Ye Qing looked at the two people in front of him, and a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.
I didn't take the initiative to take refuge before.
It's time to take a stand.
"I didn't think they would tell me where they were, so I didn't ask."
It doesn't matter where you go, it's good if you don't kill it.
Lu Zhutou secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This new county order can even let the Zhou family and the Wang family go, and they will not be held accountable in the future.
"My lord, since Zhou County Lieutenant and Wang County Cheng are not here, please take on the official duties of the two of them."
What for?
Ye Qing's good mood disappeared in an instant.
No loyalty, no stand.
What official business to talk about.
What is there to talk about in official business?
"This ......"
Ye Qing didn't want to be a social animal.
I don't want to deal with official business, so I'll stagger the topic for the time being.
"You're coming to me today for this little thing?"
"Lord Hui, in addition to this matter, there is another question."
Lu Zhutou roughly explained the situation in Yunhai County.
Short on food?
How can it be?
After so many years of perseverance, why is there a sudden shortage of food?
Someone must be doing something in the shadows.
Ye Qing mobilized his true qi, and wisps of chaotic sound converged into his ears.
It soon became clear from the jumbled chatter that the reason was clear.
The rise in grain prices is the trigger, and the real problem lies in the high-intensity work, which has led to a sharp increase in the amount of food for the people of Yunhai County.
Now in one day, I have eaten the rations of the previous three or four days.
"I know, you go and call those grain merchants to the county office, I'll talk to them and buy some grain."
"Humble and orderly, it's just those official duties in the county government, I don't know how the adults are going to deal with it?"
Lu Zhutou didn't want to ask, but he couldn't ask if he didn't.
Taxes, the money they have not received for many years, all kinds of expenses of the county government, all kinds of scheduling...... All need to be dealt with.
Moreover, the longer such official work drags on, the more problems there become.
Now there is no chaos in Yunhai County, it is completely because the people of Yunhai County are forced by Ye Qing's force and dare not show it.
"Is there no other scribe who can do the work?"
Ye Qing did his last effort.
"Nope!"
The road catcher replied quickly.
The remaining clerks in the county government do some work such as taking notes, and there are still characters who can't write.
Expecting them to take care of their official business will only add to the chaos.
"It is really not possible to delay for two more days and deal with the food problem first......"
Ye Qing wondered if it would be a trip.
Go to other county towns and tie up a few capable scholars to come to Yunhai County.
"Young Master......"
Qin Ruoshuang mustered up her courage and leaned into Ye Qing's ear and whispered.
"Why don't you let me handle these official duties!"
How can you forget the beauties around you?
Ye Qing's eyes lit up.
Although his cheap father-in-law did not like him and was unwilling to help him,
But when his daughter encounters a problem, his cheap father-in-law can't stand by and ignore it.
Ye Qing nodded lightly at Qin Ruoshuang in agreement.
As soon as his tone turned, he made a 180-degree turn in the middle of his mouth.
"If you really can't do it, just send the dossier over, and I'll take it first."
"Thank you for your understanding, I will contact the grain merchant and send someone to send the dossier."
Lu Zhutou's hanging heart relaxed.
In the situation just now, he was really afraid that Ye Qing would only care about enjoyment and ignore the official affairs of Yunhai County.
Lu Zhutou and Nie Lang had just returned to the shore.
A crowd gathered around.
"Lu Zhutou, what did the county magistrate say?"
"How to solve the food problem?"
"Everyone, don't be impatient!"
The head of the road catcher waved his hand to silence the crowd.
"On the issue of grain, the county magistrate is going to talk to the grain merchants about the price of grain, and the villagers and elders can go back and wait."
After some persuasion and comfort.
The people who had gathered departed one after another.
"Head, what about us? Should we run, or should we stay? ”
The officials and catchers gathered around.
"Don't worry, the prefectural magistrate doesn't care what happened to us before."
The head of the road catcher was afraid that this group of brothers would cause trouble.
Immediately afterward, a few more words of advice.
"However, not pursuing the past does not mean that the future will not be investigated, and the brothers will be more restrained in the future."
"It's better to have a hard life than to lose your life."
"Otherwise, it will anger the county magistrate, and don't blame me for not being merciful."
Only a fool went to provoke the county commander.
A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the officials.
That feeling of hovering on the edge of life and death, once is enough.
"Head, you just give us ten guts, and we don't dare to anger the county magistrate."
"You don't dare."
The road catcher also had palpitations.
"Okay, hurry up and notify those grain merchants, and send the accumulated files to the county magistrate's mansion."
The officials and the catchers dispersed.
Soon, the recently piled up dossier was sent to the island in the middle of the lake.
That's a lot of trivia!
Ye Qing looked at the one-meter-tall file in front of him, and his head was big.
This is a dossier, which is clearly a stack of amulets.
