Although Chen Ao was unhappy, he couldn't go away with the seal. Everything must have a beginning and an end, which is also Chen Ao's principle. Either he didn't agree to the official position given by Zhao Heng at the beginning, but since he agreed to this errand, there must be a result.

Chen Ao cleaned up his mood, settled a group of female dependents in the back office, and then came to the lobby to understand the situation with the county officials. This Hulu County is located in a remote area, with a small population, and basically there is no major event. The only thing that matters is that there are more merchants. Many people choose it as a stopover. Therefore, the more than 200 households in Hulu County, almost none of whom are engaged in agriculture, are all making money from these caravans.

Some opened inns and restaurants, and some did errands for a living. Due to the frequent population movement, the security and management of Hulu County have high requirements. However, these specific tasks are all in charge of the county Cheng Xu Minghua. This Xu Minghua is a local, he has studied for a few years, and he was elected to take the Beijing exam, but he failed to pass the Jinshi. Originally, he couldn't be an official, but in this poor and remote area of Hulu County, those who had connections were unwilling to come.

So the imperial court simply arranged a petty official for Xu Minghua and returned to Hulu County. Xu Minghua was able to "return to his hometown", but he was also satisfied. And with a little real power in this Hulu County, he has even more light on his face. This has been done for more than ten years, and he finally climbed to the position of the county leader, and he can be regarded as a native of Hulu County.

As for that Wu Guozhong Wu master, he is a real unlucky bastard. No background, no relationship, kicked here as a petty official. Wu Guozhong was also disheartened, and he did not seek improvement for many years, so he always stayed in this position and never moved his nest. Fortunately, his mentality has improved a lot in recent years, and he has to get by. Now he has opened a tavern, receiving a salary, earning extra money, and shopping around the kiln without anything, but he is also at ease.

In addition, there is Tang Donglai, the tax collector you saw at the city gate, who is also an official oil. Because of the high tax in Hulu County, he has always stuck to his post for many years and never gave up. That Zhou catcher is also a local, and he has been mixed up for many years to become a catcher, and he is satisfied.

Chen Ao couldn't laugh or cry at his subordinates. Fortunately, these people are also familiar with the situation in Hulu County, as long as they can do their part, Chen Ao doesn't plan to ask them about those bad things.

After a busy day, Chen Ao returned to the back office. There are a few women in the family who are indeed very good, and the original back office is cold and empty. After they cleaned up this day, they suddenly changed their faces.

Now that it has entered the early winter, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day. But there was a stove in the back office, and a big hot pot was placed on the table, which made Chen Ao feel very warm. Today is the first day that their family came to this Hulu County, of course, they have to celebrate.

The seven of them were not outsiders, and they sat around the fire, but they were happy. Chen Ao picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "This time, I didn't figure out the situation in Hulu County, so I rashly responded to this errand, which is really a mistake." However, the mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, although the environment is a little worse, but I think the facilities are also perfect. Let's settle down here first, and then we'll talk about it later!

The women responded in an uproar and raised their glasses. When Zhao Ling heard Chen Ao say this, he knew that he must have made up his mind to leave here. She drank half a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Chen Ao, you were demoted here because you made Your Majesty unhappy this time." Since you don't want to be a fugitive, I'm afraid that you will have to please Your Majesty, so that you can get out of here smoothly!"

Chen Ao was silent, Xiao Shuixian pursed his lips and said, "The emperor is your uncle, of course you want to please him." Hmph, in my opinion, we might as well go back to Daliao directly!"

Along the way, they get along well and are like sisters. Zhao Ling's secret, everyone naturally knows. Xiao Shuixian said this, and did not mean to attack Zhao Ling. It's just that she has always been resentful, and she desperately wants to encourage everyone to go back to Liao with her.

Zhao Ling smiled and did not speak. Xuan Ning took Xiao Shuixian's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Shuixian, if we go to Liao with you, we will naturally be able to enjoy brocade clothes and jade food, but can we still be as free as now? And at that time, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be hostile to Chen Ao. At that time, our situation will be even more uncomfortable!"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Ning'er is right. I'm the most uninhibited person, and although the environment is a little harsh here, I'm free and free to do whatever I want!"

Xiao Shuixian pursed his lips and said, "What you said makes sense, I don't mention it back to Khitan!"

Seeing her sullen appearance, Chen Ao couldn't help laughing, picked up a piece of mutton, and stuffed it into her mouth, causing others to laugh too.

Liang Xiaoya smiled: "Of course, as the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog." Xiao Shuixian, if you follow Chen Ao, you should follow him all over the mountain!"

Chen Ao feigned anger and said, "What do you mean by this? Am I a monkey?"

"Wherever you run, there will be no peace. What do you say you're not a monkey?"

"I'm a monkey, so you're a female monkey too!"

The crowd laughed. After laughing, Xuan Ning motioned to the sisters to stop laughing. She and Zhao Ling are the eldest of the few, and their words also carry weight. Everyone immediately stopped talking, and Xuan Ning said, "Brother Chen, have you ever thought about how to get out of here?"

Chen Ao thought about it and said with a smile: "Why, naturally I haven't thought of it yet." But I don't think Your Majesty will let me fend for myself here. When he is angry, he will naturally call me back!"

Zhao Ling also nodded and said, "That's right." At least a year, at most three years, we will definitely be able to leave here. Even if you don't return to the capital at that time, you will definitely be able to move elsewhere. But...... We shouldn't be waiting here, we have to make some noise so that Your Majesty can hear from us all the time!"

These women are all restless personalities, and their eyes suddenly lit up when they heard the words. Chen Ao couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Zhao Ling, how can I have an ominous premonition?"

Zhao Ling smiled: "Don't worry, I naturally won't make trouble." If we want Your Majesty to dissipate your anger, how can we cause chaos? I want to help you be a good magistrate and make some resounding achievements. Then Your Majesty will transfer you out of here as soon as possible!"

"Be a good county?" Chen Ao muttered to himself. When he was in Liangcheng, he just had a big fight with the Liang brothers to eliminate harm for the people. But this kind of thing can't be his merit. Later, when I came to Haixian, I didn't even stay in the lobby for a day. Chen Ao has always felt that he has not achieved enough things, and he has more than enough failures. Often, they want to accomplish something, but it is difficult to achieve it. But if you want to do bad things for others, you can't do anything wrong.

He really didn't think that he could be a good magistrate. After a moment of silence, Chen Ao slapped the table and said with a smile: "Okay! I will be the county governor of this gourd! However, there is a big matter that we need to do at the moment!"

The women suddenly became nervous and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Of course, I want to marry a few of you quickly!"
