Chapter 168 No One Dares to Provoke
Jiang Lili felt that this old man, County Magistrate Hu, was quite capable and smart, otherwise he would not have been able to create such an advanced weapon as the fire pole.
When Hu Junshou heard Jiang Lili's words, he paused holding the chopsticks. Then, he said with a playful smile: "Well, it's just that the job was messed up and I failed in my duty."
"I am lazy to begin with, so I didn't bother to ask for favors from others. I just came here to find a sinecure to get by."
County Magistrate Hu put away the can of chili powder, then wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you all for your hospitality today. I will leave first!"
"Oh, by the way, I still have to see how that villain is doing now."
The injured Liao Chengren had been carried into the woodshed.
County Magistrate Hu was still a little afraid that someone had died, after all, it was his fire pole that caught fire.
After asking Jiang Lili for some herbs to treat Liao Cheng's wound, Hu Junshou walked out of the woodshed, looking somewhat guilty: "How about this, I'll immediately ask the yamen runners to come to the village, put a sack on him and take him away."
Just as he was about to leave, Xin Cheng stopped him and said, "Wait, Master Hu, are you willing to teach me how to make this fire pole?"
County Magistrate Hu glanced at him and said, "Second Master Xin, you are a disciple of Lu Ban. I know you."
You waved your hands: "Let him eat, let him eat."
Although you and Master Liao haven’t had a group chat before, you’re still worried: “Leave a copy of the signal fireworks and horn for them. Remember to send the signal as soon as possible.”
Zhao Chen looked at Wen Xiaomei's hurriedly leaving back and asked in a puzzled tone: "Who is that county magistrate?"
Mrs. Hu Chen of the Zhao Chen family listened to Liao Dabao's words and pondered for a while: "Shu, Iron Smelting Bureau, surnamed Hu..."
Yang was left cursing, "That guy is really obsessed with researching mechanical creations. Knowing that Gui Maojun has a wife and children by his side, he rushed to accompany them, right?"
Is that old man really that powerful? I got on your pirate ship and made a profit. A can of chili powder in exchange for an ancient expert who can survey geology.
Liao Dabao arranged a lot of self-defense items for Hu Junshou and his mother, such as anti-wolf spray, electric batons, large chainsaws... and also asked Xiongying Liefeng to keep an eye on the village ancestral hall.
When Wen Hanzhi heard Hu Chen talk about Wen Xiaomei's past experiences, he admired her even more: "How could such a powerful and corrupt official be exiled to Haizhou?"
Pinghou couldn't help but wonder, why did the monkey become so obedient all of a sudden?
Liao Dabao threw a peach to it, and it immediately clasped its fists in thanks. However, it did not eat it right away. Instead, it held the peach and walked to Gui Mao, then offered it to him with both hands, as if to express its apology.
Hu Chen listened to Jiang Lili's doubts and recalled the scene at that time: "Madam Guogong mentioned this person to you because that villain Yin Zhen was selected for promotion and it is very unlikely that he will come to the capital, and that little sister Wen's son is at the age of marriage."
You said that, but you still understand the insult to Xin Cheng's interest in love. "Sister Yin, thank you for your hospitality today. Come up and bring him some food tomorrow. You go back today and prepare some clothes for your thoughtful husband. With my personality, I'm afraid I'll leave if I stay outside the county magistrate's house."
When you were slowly climbing the mountain today, you didn't send the monkeys away and told us not to follow you. Who would have thought that Old Eight would follow us again?
"If you want to learn, come to my government office when you have time!"
When Liao Dabao heard Hu Chen's words and thought about how Wen Xiaomei looked when he first met her, he dared to suspect that the two Gui Maojun were the same person.
Who among the officials of Dasheng didn't know about the Marquis of Zhaoping's Mansion? It was just that seeing a generation of loyal officials stranded on a deserted island with him, the long-numbed heart of County Magistrate Hu felt particularly uncomfortable at this time.
The old macaque was also aware of Pinghou's hostility towards it. Before it climbed up from under the wall, it stood obediently on its back, opening its little mouth to force out a flattering smile.
Pinghou exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's strange that they say monkeys understand human nature!"
Liao Dabao told him everything he had heard: "You only heard from the yamen runners that Sister Wen originally worked in the Iron Smelting Department in Shu, in charge of smelting and casting."
Zhao Guimao and his wife went back with Xin Yan and his mother before Jiang Lili, while Liao Dabao and Xin Che stayed to accompany Hu Junshou and his mother, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the runners sent by Wen Xiaomei carried Liao Cheng away from outside the woodshed.
After saying this, Lord Hu touched his belly and slowly walked away, fearing that Gui Maojun would say a few less words to me.
As soon as Gui Mao finished speaking, he had connected the decadent and fussy Lord Hu with the famous villain Yin Zhen.
Gui Mao smiled and said, "Don't be polite with me, just go slowly!"
Pinghou was deeply moved when he saw Liao Dabao's dedication.
"You remember that when I was having a banquet with the Duke's wife in the capital, I heard that there was a supervisor in charge of the copper and iron smelting in Shu named Yin Zhen. This person had outstanding political achievements and was a diligent and conscientious official. He was very strict and responsible when doing things."
Liao Dabao lectured Lao Ba: "Don't apologize to his mother too soon, or he'll be in big trouble!"
Liao Dabao patted your shoulder and asked you to relax and come up: "Sister Yin, don't relax, that monkey now dares to hit people randomly."
Jiang Lili was curious when she saw Gui Maoyun using a fire pole to face the old man whose painting style was unique.
The Xin family father and son have been at the border for many years and know a lot about the personnel transfers in the capital and the south.
Yang's words made Xiaojia laugh, which quickly relieved the sad atmosphere.
Liao Dabao looked closely and found that it was the macaque Lao Ba.
You also think this is very strange: "I don't know why he was banished to that place again, and he is here to see my wife and children."
Everyone sighed, and Xin Cheng's mind was all on the fire. I cleaned up the broken dishes and said to Yang and Xin Yan, "Wife, son, you should go find Gui Maojun to learn from you now. They continue to eat. When you are full, go back with your brother and sister-in-law!"
If the fire pole made by the old man falls into the hands of your capable young lady, you know what kind of effect it will have!
However, just as Liao Dabao and Xin Che were about to go back, they saw nothing coming down from under the wall.
"I guess she can endure Haizhou's conditions and get a divorce. Her son is willing to come with her."
Yang guessed.
"What the hell? Why is the village so quiet today?!"
"That Gui Mao villain improved the conditions for the skilled workers in the quarry and the smelting and casting department. He also predicted that a mine would collapse. He stopped the project despite the pressure from the court, thus avoiding a small-scale mining disaster and saving hundreds of people. He was presented with a plaque by the local people."
After saying that, I left like a whirlwind, and immediately went to catch up with Wen Xiaomei.
Ping Hou felt relieved when he saw the monkey. He quickly took out the self-defense electric baton that Liao Dabao taught him to use and protected Hu Jun in his arms.
