After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Chapter 82 The magistrate of Su County is ignorant

The magistrate of Su County is over fifty years old. He has stayed in Su County for 20 years. Although he cannot be called a peerless upright official, the people of Su County can live and work in peace and contentment under his governance.

The gorgeous and expensive carriage passed through the slightly shabby city gate. Although this huge mahogany carriage had scars of varying lengths, it was still a rare sight for this remote town.

Although the soldiers guarding the city did not know Xie Chunchao, they recognized General Pei, who was at the forefront of the team, and hurriedly ran to the county government office to report to the county magistrate.

"My lord, General Pei is here!"

"General Pei?" The gray-haired man on the master's chair suddenly started, "He is not staying at the border. Why did he come to me?"

He hurriedly took the coat from the attendant and put it on himself, and straightened his gray beard.

"I don't know either," the soldier said, "but General Pei seems to be escorting a person. The person's real face cannot be seen clearly from the carriage, but judging from his posture, he must be some kind of big shot."

"Even General Pei is respectful."

The magistrate of Su County was shocked. He had been in Su County for many years and naturally knew the temperament of General Pei.

That guy is very arrogant and won't accept anyone except...

"Could it be that Crown Prince Xie is here?" After asking, the magistrate of Su County shook his head and objected, "No, if it's Crown Prince Xie, he must be riding a tall horse, so how could he be hiding in the carriage?"

However, no matter who came, the magistrate of Su County had already put on formal official uniform and was ready to greet him at the door.

Alas, the originally leisurely day was ruined again.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the county government office. A pair of slender white hands stretched out from behind the curtain, and then came down a girl who looked like a peony. Her clothes were bright and delicate, and she looked like a goddess descending from the earth.

The magistrate of Su County was shocked for a moment.

He waited for two seconds and then stepped forward to bow. He thought to himself, could it be General Pei's wife? She is so beautiful, no wonder she holds her in such a respectful hand.

Although he thought so, he did not express it, "General Pei, who is this girl?"

"This is the daughter of the King of Liao, Princess Chunhua."

The magistrate of Su County was shocked and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "It's actually the princess. I have offended the princess by being disrespectful."

If it were another princess, the magistrate of Su County would not be so surprised.

But this Princess Chunhua was the most favored in the Chu Kingdom. Her father was the King of Liao, who was also known as the God of War. He was no less generous than the princess.

"It's okay."

While the two were talking, the magistrate of Su County noticed that several more soldiers carried out a young man with a jade-like face from the carriage, "Who is this young man?"

Xie Chun said, "This is my husband, Lin Jingrong, and the son of Lin Yushi."

Although the imperial censor is not a high-ranking official in Shanngling, if he is placed in Su County, he will be an extremely high-ranking official.

The county magistrate instantly felt a huge pressure. Why did so many big figures suddenly come to his small Su County?
If one person fails to deal with it well, wouldn’t he be in trouble as an official?

When he reached his age as an official, he never thought about struggling again.

As long as he keeps his one-third acre of land and waits until retirement, his life will be complete.

"It turns out he is the son of Lin Yushi's family." The magistrate of Su County looked at Lin Jingrong's unhappy expression and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Lin? Do you want to lower your official rank and ask a doctor to come and look at Mr. Lin?" look."

"It's nothing." The magistrate of Su County breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Chunchao's next words almost made him die on the spot!

"I just met a bandit in Xuanfeng Valley and was stabbed by a bandit."

The Su County magistrate's legs went weak, and if someone hadn't been supporting him behind him, he would have fallen to the ground in fear.

Xuanfeng Valley!
That's Su County's territory!
Those bandits usually stay in the mountains and rarely come down to harm the people of Su County. Of course, this does not mean that they are good bandits, but that the bandits also have brains.

They also understand that rabbits do not eat grass near their nests.

They often leave the boundaries of Su County and go to other places to rob homes and plunder property. Sometimes when the road is difficult to travel in winter, they will use money to buy supplies from the people down the mountain.

Therefore, although the magistrate of Su County knew that there was such a group of bandits, he saw that they did not harm the people in his territory, so he let them go.

But who could have expected!
This gang of bandits suddenly robbed Xuanfeng Valley!
During the robbery, he picked a tough guy!
His face was green and white, and he said tremblingly, "I'm... I'm an official... I'm an official, I'll go and fetch a doctor for Mr. Lin right now."

"There's no need to call a doctor," Xie Chun said, "We've already looked at the injury. It's nothing serious. You just need to rest for a few days."

When the magistrate of Su County heard this, he quickly ordered his subordinates, "Hurry!"

"Quickly pack up a wing for Mr. Lin."

Since Lin Jingrong was injured, he was temporarily arranged to enter the room, while Xie Chunchao and the others entered the lobby accompanied by the magistrate of Su County.

Xie Chunchao asked, "This bandit appeared in your territory of Su County. You have been the magistrate of Su County for so many years. Don't you know that there are bandits in Su County?"

"This..." The Su County magistrate's mind was racing, and he decided to stick to his words and just don't know. "This... I don't know either."

"This..." He looked at the county magistrate standing aside and asked, "Do you know that there are bandits nearby?"

The county magistrate shook his head repeatedly and said, "I have never heard of this."

The magistrate of Su County frowned again and looked at the county captain, asking, "What about you? Have you never heard that you are responsible for the safety of a county?"

The county lieutenant, one of two senior officers, stumbled and said, "I don't know either," in front of two superiors and under the watchful eyes of one superior's superior's superior's superior.

"No common people have ever reported to me that there are bandits nearby."

After hearing this, the magistrate of Su County looked back at Xie Chunchao and said, "Princess, we have never had bandits harm anyone in Su County, so... we really don't know where this bandit came from."

"But the princess's carriage actually caused such a bad incident in Su County. As the head of the county, I will not shirk it. I will capture this bandit and avenge Mr. Lin!"

Xie Chunchao curled his lips and smiled. He was worthy of being an official for half his life. Even if he was just a small county magistrate, he was by no means stupid.

But Xie Chunchao didn't bother to argue with him. In the final analysis, this matter was beyond his control as a small county magistrate.

As long as he didn't block her way, she didn't want to embarrass him.

"You don't need to take action." Xie Chunchao shook the teacup, glanced at the tea in the cup, put the teacup back, and said, "I intend to suppress the bandits myself."

"What?!" The Su County magistrate's jaw dropped in shock, "How can the princess do such a thing with a body worth thousands of dollars? If the princess is injured, even if the official has ten lives, it won't be enough to compensate!"

Xie Chunchao chuckled, "You don't need ten, just one life is enough."
