Not long after, Chen Mingyuan's guards arrived.
At this time, Chen Shuiyao had not arrived yet. Du Yuan said to Chen Mingyuan,
"Old Chen, you and the Heavenly Dragon Army will go first. Shui Yao and I will follow!”
Then, he said to the Heavenly Dragon Army behind him,
"Heavenly Dragon Army, listen up. Escort the new county magistrate of Xihe Prefecture, Chen Mingyuan, back to Jinyang City!”
"Yes!" The 1,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Army responded in unison!
Chen Mingyuan and the others looked at the high-spirited Heavenly Dragon Army in front of them and could not help but be shocked!
Looking at Du Yuan who had already given the order, Chen Mingyuan exhaled and said to Du Yuan,
"Zihao, I'll wait for you in Jinyang City!”
"Good!"
After Du Yuan responded, Chen Mingyuan immediately ordered,
"Set off!" At this moment, more than a thousand people were driving towards Jinyang City in unison.
After Chen Mingyuan and the others left, Chen Shuiyao came out of the city gate with a bag of things.
Du Yuan looked at Chen Shuiyao and said,"
"Shui Yao, what is it? You have to go back and get it.”
Chen Shuiyao pretended to be mysterious and said,"
"Ah, this is a secret. I won't tell you!”
" Eh? Where's Grandpa and the others?"
Looking at Chen Shuiyao, who was pretending to be secretive, Du Yuan smiled and said,
"I told them to leave first."
Chen Shuiyao immediately asked,
"Ah! Then what should we do?"
Du Yuan laughed and said,
"Little fool, let's go there ourselves!”
"Eh, that's right! It's great that we can go by ourselves. No one will disturb us on the way!”Chen Shuiyao immediately said with a silly smile!
At this time, Chen Lixuan walked over and said,"
"Silly girl, you have to take good care of yourself over there.”
Chen Shuiyao immediately revealed an aggrieved expression and replied to Chen Lixuan with a choked voice,
"Father, you too. Don't just worry about me. You have to rest well. Don't always deal with government affairs until late at night. It's not good for your health!”
Looking at Chen Shuiyao's expression, Chen Lixuan said firmly,"
"Good, good, good! Father, remember this. It's getting late. You guys should leave quickly!”
Looking at Chen Lixuan's determined expression, Chen Shuiyao's voice became even more choked up. She knew that her father was pretending to be strong so that she could rest assured!
"Father, you must come and see me when the time comes!”
As Chen Shuiyao's voice became more and more choked, Chen Lixuan's originally determined expression gradually faded!
"Good! Father will definitely go to Jinyang City to see you after settling the matters here. Don't worry, my silly girl!”
As Chen Shuiyao rode on her horse, she looked back until she could no longer be seen.
Looking at the two people gradually disappearing into the distance, Chen Lixuan's face was replaced with a face full of determination. After looking at the place where the two people disappeared, he sighed and led the officials into the city.
Looking at Chen Shuiyao's slightly sad face, Du Yuan said,"
"Yaoyao, let me tell you a joke!”
"Alright! Alright!"
Seeing the slight change in Chen Shuiyao's expression, Du Yuan thought for a moment and said,"
"Once upon a time, there was a butcher who sold meat. Sometimes, when the villagers sold meat and forgot to bring money, they would open credit slips with him.”
"In the long run, everyone lived in peace. The business of his butcher shop is not bad either."
"One year in late autumn, the weather was cold and it rained. Butcher drank too much wine."
"In the evening, Scholar Wang from the neighboring village came to sell meat. The meat was cut and weighed, but he didn't bring any silver with him. Just write the credit note according to the old rules! However, Scholar Wang didn't write his name on the paper.”
"He thinks he's cultured. He raised his pen and wrote: Wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a straw raincoat, a piece of meat.”
"Butcher is illiterate, so he didn't read too much. The scholar took the meat and left."
"After a while, the neighbor, Old Shuan Li, came to sell meat and didn't bring any money. I'll also open a credit slip."
"He saw Scholar Wang's note, so he added, I also want one catty. And take the meat and leave. When the stall was cleared of money, the butcher realized that he had lost a pound of meat.”
"So the next day, Butcher reported Scholar Wang and Old Shuan Li to the county government.”
"I heard that the three of them fought a meat lawsuit. Inside and outside the yamen, there were many people listening.”
"Magistrate, please come to the court to try the case. Both the prosecutor and the defender are crying injustice."
"Butcher, present the credit slip. The county magistrate read aloud: Wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a straw raincoat, a catty of meat on credit. I'll give you one jin too…"
"When the Butcher heard this, he quickly shouted," I was wondering why I was short of a catty of meat!" It turned out that Old Master had also sold a catty. Then there was no need to interrogate him. Master, please return me a pound of meat…”
"The county magistrate flew into a rage and said,'Bastard! When will this lord sell meat at your place?”
"The Butcher refused to accept it and said," Master, can you read the credit slip again in public?"。”
"The magistrate glared at him and shouted," What harm is there in reading it again, Master?" If you can't explain the reason, this master will treat you to a beating!。”
"So, I read it aloud again. Especially when I also read the four words 'one catty' loudly.”
"The Butcher said happily," Everyone in the court has heard it. What else does the county master have to say?" The magistrate was so angry that he was speechless…"
After hearing Du Yuan's joke, Chen Shuiyao smiled and said,"
"That county magistrate is too difficult, hahahaha!”
Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed. Chen Shuiyao's sadness of parting was dissipated by Du Yuan's joke!
