  Chapter 393 The Magistrate's Visit

   "How does he usually behave?" Shao Mingyuan asked.

   "Being human?" The village chief pondered for a while, "Tie Zhu is usually taciturn and rarely attracts attention. He gives the impression that he is being honest. How do you know about Tie Zhu?"

   "I bumped into it yesterday." Shao Mingyuan didn't mention it any more, he left the village chief to drink tea, and turned to ask about the situation in the village.

In the face of such a person as the champion, the village chief knew everything he could say, and after the third cup of tea, the atmosphere became more familiar, and he smiled and said: "Master Hou, the little old man sees that you are all distinguished guests. The little old man has several granddaughters, if you don’t dislike them for their thick hands and feet, let them come over to help for a few days, and you will still do the work of sewing and sweeping for the distinguished guests.”

  Qiao Zhao, who was sitting quietly in the corner, glanced at Shao Mingyuan and took a sip of tea.

  Shao Mingyuan hurriedly said: "No need, we are all big men, with hands and feet, we don't need anyone to serve."

   "That's it, if the Marquis needs to do rough work in the future, just speak up." The village chief's tone was full of regret.

   It is said that the nobles in the capital even wash their faces and clothes. Why is this Marquis different?

   His granddaughters are very handsome. With so many noble people, if anyone takes a fancy to them, they will enjoy inexhaustible blessings in a lifetime. Taking a step back, it would be good to earn some help money.

   The village chief's eyes became more and more regretful.

   Shao Mingyuan glanced at the girl sitting in the corner from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt his head go big.

   Isn't this village chief causing trouble? What should Zhaozhao do when he's angry?

   "These don't bother the village chief. We all like to do rough work." Shao Mingyuan laughed.

   Yang Houcheng and others on the side frowned.

  Who likes to do rough work, this guy is messing around on their behalf!

   Shao Mingyuan had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and his face was indifferent.

   As long as Zhaozhao doesn't get angry, it's fine. As for others, hehe, they are big men with big five and three rough. If you are not happy, go out and practice and be honest.

   Shao Mingyuan put down the teacup and prepared to see off the guests. Before he could speak, Chenguang came in and reported, "General, there are villagers from outside looking for the village chief."

   "Looking for me?" The village chief stood up, a little puzzled, "Who is looking for me at this time? I also explained to the old lady at home that I came to Lord Hou. Lord Hou, then the little old man go out and have a look."

   Shao Mingyuan gave Chen Guang a wink and stopped the village chief: "Please come in and talk."

   Chenguang ran out immediately, leading a young man with flexible eyebrows in after a while.

   Facing Shao Mingyuan and others, the young man couldn't help lowering his head, his eyes flying.

  The village chief went up and gave the young man a slap: "What are you aiming at, if you have something to say, hurry up."

   The young man exhaled: "The village chief, the county master is here!"

  The village head was shocked: "Why did the county master come to our village?"

   "The county master said he came to visit the champion."

  The village chief couldn't help but look at Shao Mingyuan: "Master Hou, look—"

  Shao Mingyuan nodded to Chenguang: "Mengguang, you can go with him. If it's the magistrate of Jiafeng, please come in."

   "Lead the order." Morning light took the young man out.

  Shao Mingyuan took his seat again and pointed to the seat next to him: "The village chief, please take a seat."

   The village chief hesitated.

   That is the county master. Does he stay and continue to accompany the champion, or go out to meet the county master?

   Mr. Hou is older than Mr. Xian, so he should stay, but he just sits like this, what if he waits for Mr. Xian to come in?

   "The village chief, please take a seat." Shao Mingyuan said again.

  The village chief hurriedly sat down, carefully touching a chair, and fidgeting.

   Soon a short-bearded man in his forties walked in, followed by several attendants.

  The village chief stood up abruptly.

   The short-bearded man quickly looked around, his eyes finally fell on Shao Mingyuan, and he cupped his hands: "Xiaguan Jiafeng County Commander Wang Dahai, I have seen Hou Ye."

   "The magistrate of Wang, please take a seat."

  The magistrate of Wang sat down with a respectful attitude: "Xiaguan is very honored to hear that Marquis is here in this county. Don't blame him for not welcoming Marquis earlier."

   "The magistrate Wang is polite." Shao Mingyuan looked at the magistrate Wang calmly.

  The magistrate Wang wiped his sweat, and his eyes fell on Chi Can and the two: "Master Hou, I don't know who these two sons are—"

   Shao Mingyuan pointed at Chi Can and smiled lightly: "This is Mr. Chi, this is Mr. Yang."

  The magistrate Wang hurriedly greeted the two of them: "It turned out to be Mr. Chi, Prince Yang, and the lower official for a long time."

   Shao Mingyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he took a sip from the teacup.

   "Is the Lord Hou here to pay homage to Lord Qiao?"

   Shao Mingyuan nodded: "I will go to worship later."

   "Then Xiaguan, let's accompany Lord Hou. Mr. Qiao Zhuo is an example of people in the world, and Lord Qiao is also a role model for my generation. Xiaguan has long wanted to go to worship."

  Shao Mingyuan smiled: "Okay then, Magistrate Wang sits down for a while, and Ben Hou will go to prepare first."

   He got up, glanced at Qiao Zhao without a trace, and then walked out.

  The magistrate Wang immediately started a conversation with Chi Can and the two.

  Chi Can has always been cold and indifferent in front of these people, and Yang Houcheng is still talkative, so the atmosphere has not cooled down.

  Qiao Zhao took the opportunity to slip out.

  Shao Mingyuan was waiting under the loquat tree in the courtyard when he saw the girl walking towards him and raised his feet to meet him.

   "This magistrate of Wang is very strange." Qiao Zhao walked over to Shao Mingyuan and said in a low voice.

   "You see it too?" Shao Mingyuan asked with a smile.

   Qiao Zhao gave him a white look: "I'm not stupid."

   After she finished speaking, she looked at Shao Mingyuan and smiled: "Then General Shao, what's so strange about this magistrate?"

Shao Mingyuan looked at the door of the house and said in a low voice, "He came too soon. We only came yesterday. Even if these villagers like to spread the word, they won't spread it so quickly. In other words, the magistrate Wang should have sent someone at the pier. Stay tuned and you will get the news in time.”

"Yes, and his name for Big Brother Yang. You clearly introduced Young Master Yang, but he calls Big Brother Yang the Prince Yang, which shows that he already knows Big Brother Yang and their identities..." Qiao Zhao noticed the expression of the man in front of him. There was a difference, and he couldn't help but stop and asked, "What's wrong?"

   Shao Mingyuan was very aggrieved: "Why are they Big Brother Yang and Big Brother Chi, and I am General Shao?"

  Qiao Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth and asked with a stern face, "General Shao has any opinion?"

   "I don't have any opinions, just a small suggestion. How about Zhao Zhao calling me Big Brother Shao?"

  Qiao Zhao looked at him with a half-smile, and said unceremoniously, "Actually, according to our age gap, I can call you Uncle Shao."

   Shao Mingyuan coughed with his fist to his lips: "That's General Shao."

   The title of poor seniority cannot be accepted!

The suggestion was rejected, and Shao Mingyuan had to continue: "Whether you go south to collect herbs, or I go south to worship, a county magistrate far in the south has no way of knowing, and there is no need to send someone to guard the pier, so there are two possibilities. —”

   Twelfth more. For this update, I would like to thank Autumn Solstice Fenglufan who rewarded He's jade in November last year.
