Chapter 220 The County Magistrate Wants to See Quanjin

Everyone's nerves were tense along the way, and everyone seemed to be trying to steal their gold.

As a result, passers-by who occasionally passed by on the road were seen by these men and ran away, for fear that if they ran slowly, they would be robbed of their finances by these men in carriages.

Finally arrived at the gate of the city, and before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the captain of the officers and soldiers at the gate ran over.

"Village chief, then, what did that person come here for? Yes, is it for the benefit?"

When Zhou Tao beside him saw that person, his heart couldn't help trembling.

He was right behind Quanquanjin. Although the voice of the inquiry was not loud, it was enough for Quanquanjin to hear.

Quan Qijin frowned: "Probably not. You line up first, and I'll go say hello to him."

During this period of time, the number of times of entering and leaving the city has increased, and the Qi family has given buns to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, so the Qi family, especially Qi Qijin and Qi Ercai, have already become familiar with the officers and soldiers guarding the gate. .

Zhou Tao swallowed with difficulty: "Brother Quan Jin, then you should be careful."

"Well, it's fine."

After saying that, Qi Quanjin jumped out of the carriage, and really went to meet the captain of the officer and soldier team.

The two met on the way, and saw the captain make a gesture of invitation.

They didn't exchange a few words until the two walked a few meters away, farther away from the queue to enter the city.

Not long after, Quan Quanjin came back.

Seeing that Quan Quanjin frowned tightly, as if he had encountered some difficulty, he couldn't help but make the rest of the team nervous.

Qi Ercai jumped out of the carriage to meet him, and asked in a low voice, "Fourth, what's the matter?"

"The official told me to go to the county government office to see the magistrate."

After Quan Quanjin finished speaking, he frowned even tighter.

Qi Ercai's eyebrows twitched, and he asked in a softer voice, "Could it be that the magistrate wants to share the gold?"

"This, it shouldn't be possible!"

Qi Quanjin said uncertainly: "The gold was rewarded by the emperor, even if we send it to the magistrate, the magistrate would not dare to accept it!"

This was not Quan Quanjin's own thoughts, but when he was eating with Eunuch Wan, at the dinner table, Eunuch Wan had already stated that it was for Quanquanjin.

As long as the magistrate is not stupid, he should not miss this gold.

Qi Ercai shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, there won't be any rewards for letting you go to the county government at such a time."

Completely golden and silent.

Indeed, it is impossible for him to go to the county government at such a time as a reward.

that……

Is it really for gold?

Qi Ercai's heart was also heavy, and he patted Quanjin on the shoulder: "Let's go, enter the city. I will take everyone to exchange money and order materials, and you go to the county government."

"Ah."

Quan Quanjin also knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he nodded in response.

The rest of the team also wanted to ask what happened, but seeing that the expressions of the Qi family brothers were not very good, everyone obediently didn't say anything.

As soon as he entered the city, Quan Quanjin separated from the crowd and walked all the way towards the county government.

All the way along the way, Qi Quanjin's heart was full of apprehension, until he arrived at the gate of the county government office, just in time to see Liu Qinghe coming out of it, Qi Quanjin cheered up: "Brother Liu!"

Liu Qinghe turned around, saw that it was Quan Jin, and immediately waved his hands with a smile: "Brother Quan Jin, come quickly!"

Quan Quanjin hurried forward, and heard Liu Qinghe say: "What a coincidence, you have entered the city, otherwise I have to go to your village tomorrow."

"Is it the magistrate who asked you to find me?"

Quan Quanjin asked.

Liu Qinghe nodded: "That's not it, I figured that you should be able to enter the city today, so I said hello to the brother who closed the city gate. I didn't expect you to actually come, saving me from running back and forth."

With that said, Liu Qinghe invited Quanjin into the county government office.

As they walked, the two talked in low voices.

Naturally, Qi Quanjin couldn't do without inquiring about the purpose of the magistrate looking for him.

But after asking, Quan Qijin didn't really think that the other party could give him a definite answer, but Liu Qinghe really knew it.

"Don't be nervous, this is not a bad thing for your village."

Liu Qinghe pulled Quan Quanjin to a corner beside him: "You know that many refugees and refugees came to our city last year!"

"They were originally placed in other villages below, but you also know that they are the same as you, they all come from outside, and those villages don't want to accept them."

"This summer, these people have worked hard and earned some wages, but those villages are not happy about it. They always feel that they have robbed the villagers of their jobs."

"As soon as winter comes now, there is not much work in the fields, and those newcomers go to the city to look for work again. And those villagers start to make troubles, and make troubles every now and then."

"Let me tell you, just this morning, our county government has sent several teams of brothers to various villages to mediate conflicts."

Following Liu Qinghe's report, Quan Quanjin finally understood the purpose of the county magistrate calling him here.

To put it bluntly, they want Yongping Village to accept those outsiders who are not accepted by the local village.

This is not a bad thing for Quan Quanjin. The only difficulty is that it is now winter and there is no way to start a house.

Although their Qi family has a vacant room, it makes no sense to let outsiders live like this!

There are old people and women and children in their family. Once the men like them are not at home, what if someone has an evil heart?
But having said that, their village can't always have such a small number of people, it must be expanded after all.

Now that there is such a good opportunity to attract new members, as long as the basic problems of housing are properly handled, it is really a very good thing.

After Liu Qinghe finished telling what he knew, he continued to walk towards the back office with Quan Quanjin.

Not long after, Quan Quanjin saw the county magistrate Hu Kaicheng again.

Qi Quanjin wanted to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by Hu Kaicheng.

"Quanquan Jin, sit down quickly, let's sit down and talk."

Hu Kaicheng's attitude towards Quanquanjin at this time can be described as a 180-degree change.

Although this person is just a grassroots person, he is also a grassroots person who has a name with the emperor.

And although he is a county magistrate, he is only a county magistrate. After so many years of magistrate, he himself has given up struggling.

The entire imperial court does not know how many small county magistrates like him, it is impossible for the emperor to remember each of them.

Therefore, comparing the two sides, a grassroots like Qi Quanjin is no worse than an official like him.

Qi Qijin was pulled by Hu Kaicheng himself and sat down on the chair by the window.

Then Hu Kaicheng laughed and chatted a few words, nothing more than whether the family members are still in good health, whether the spring plowing and autumn harvest are doing well, and so on.

As for these questions, Eunuch Wan had already asked him when he was having dinner with Eunuch Wan.

Quan Quanjin was speechless in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, answering one by one, not daring to be slighted.
