Five-year-old cute baby: traveled back to ancient times and became a grandmother

Chapter 429 A man’s mouth is a liar

"Hahaha...yes, yes, yes, that's right. We're busy, busy. We're fine. We can all understand. We'll just register in a couple of days. Don't worry, sir. I'll notify the township to cooperate."

"Busy" and the like are just polite words, but such polite words cannot be absent.

Anyway, as long as the end result is good.

The head of Xiaotao Township was so excited that he tried hard to hold back his excitement. He smiled happily and said respectfully with gratitude, "Thank you for your hard work, sir..."

Beside him, Zhang Zhouhua was dumbfounded.

This?
No, I'm still here.

what's the situation?
Can this be done?

"No ..."

As soon as Zhang Zhouhua opened his mouth, Bai Youyi tilted his head and looked at him with a slight smile, saying in a gentle tone, "Does County Magistrate Zhang have any opinions?"

Although the question was asked in a gentle tone and with a smile on his face, Zhang Zhouhua inexplicably got goosebumps and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"I, am I not very... ahem, no, no opinion." What opinion could he have? How could he dare to have an opinion?

Seeing this, Bai Youyi smiled with satisfaction: "That's fine. County Magistrate Zhang must be busy with official duties. I still have some things to discuss with Xiaotao Township, so I won't keep you here."

Since this place is under the jurisdiction of Taohua Village, it is naturally not easy for Zhang Zhouhua, as the county magistrate of You County, to stay here.

Zhang Zhouhua was stunned for a moment and speechless. He thought to himself, they are starting to chase people away now. It was not like this when they first called him here.

Complaining aside, Zhang Zhouhua could only leave at this moment: "Okay, okay, I'll take my leave first."

Xiaotao Township suddenly became a territory that was no longer part of You County, and Zhang Zhouhua still hasn't recovered from the shock.

Seeing this, the head of Xiaotao Township laughed even more happily, and felt proud in his heart. You see, the township’s gamble was right.

After the storm has passed, the village must reward those who drew the life and death lots.

If they had not been brave enough to steal the boundary marker back, Xiaotao Township would not have had a good life in the future.

From today on, Xiaotao Township belongs to Junji Town of Taohua Village, and no one’s words will matter!

Although the head of Xiaotao Township was happy, he did not forget that there were still people waiting for news. He turned around and nodded slightly to some village elders and clan elders not far away, indicating that the matter was accomplished.

When the village elders and clan elders who had been anxiously waiting for news not far away saw the news, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

Seeing that the village chief and Bai Youli were talking about something, the old men did not disturb them. They looked at each other, and some of them turned around and left, either leaning on their crutches or with their hands behind their backs.

In the carriage, Zhang Zhouhua had a conflicted look on his face. Just as the carriage drove into the gate of You County, he lifted the curtain and looked at the people coming and going on the street, and suddenly made up his mind.

"Go to Lao Shi, and send someone to find Mu Tou Li for me."

"Hey, County Magistrate."

Lao Shi is a stonemason from You County.

He was chiseling something as usual today, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to come in person.

Zhang Zhouhua did not delay and pulled Lao Shi aside to talk for a while.

"Ah? This?" Lao Shi's eyes widened: "County Magistrate, this, this, I dare not do this."

"I asked you to do it, why are you afraid? Just do it, I'll be there if anything goes wrong."

"but I……"

Zhang Zhouhua: “No buts.”

"Lao Shi, let me tell you, this concerns the future fate of You County."

Hearing this, Lao Shi became even more nervous: "No, County Magistrate, this, this is really something I can't do..."

"It has to be done even if it's not possible."

Zhang Zhouhua said in a soothing tone: "Don't worry, you just need to get the things out for me as soon as possible. The other things have nothing to do with you." "I, this, I I..."

Before Lao Shi could say anything else, Zhang Zhouhua put his hands on his shoulders and said solemnly, "This matter is very important. I will only leave it to you to handle."

The implication is that you have to do it even if you don't want to.

After saying that, Zhang Zhouhua left the stone shop, leaving Lao Shi standing there in a daze.

What made Lao Shi even more confused was yet to come. Not long after Zhang Zhouhua left, Mu Tou Li appeared in the stone shop carrying a toolbox.

Lao Shi was surprised: "Why are you here now?"

Mu Tou Li: "I'm here to help you. The county magistrate asked me to come."

Lao Shi didn’t understand the first half of the sentence, but he knew what the second half meant.

Lao Shi wanted to roll his eyes. As expected, men’s words are lies.

Just now he said that the matter was of great importance and that the secret had been entrusted to him, and now another person knows about it.

When Mu Tou Li saw Lao Shi's expression, he knew what was going on.

He whispered, "What the county chief said makes sense. If it weren't for Taohua Village's help, I don't know how many people in our county would have died in the locust plague."

"In this case, why not give it a try? If it works..."

Although Mu Tou Li didn't finish the rest of his words, Lao Shi understood.

Lao Shi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, thinking of the locust plague. He raised his head again, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Hmm!"

The hammering sounds that had stopped in the stone shop soon started up again, but it was no longer just the sound of stone chiseling, but was mixed with the unique sounds of the carpentry shop.

Bai Youyi quickly reported the news back to Taohua Village, but he never expected that things would change after just one night.

At this time, Zhang Zhouhua, who had not slept all night, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the confirmed news that everything had been done, but he was still nervous.

"Hurry, make sure to keep an eye on it. If you have any news, come back and let me know immediately."

"Yes, Magistrate."

Watching his confidant leave quickly, Zhang Zhouhua nervously drank two cups of tea in a row, then paced back and forth in the lobby of the county government, muttering to himself: "I don't know if it will work."

"That should work, right?"

"It doesn't make sense that it won't work. God bless me, it must work..."

After Bai Youyi received the news, he rushed to the place and fell silent when he saw the boundary marker of Taohua Village and Junji Town inserted on the original territory of You County.

Come again? !
This boundary marker is not the one that disappeared before.

Xiaotao Township was afraid that the boundary marker would be lost and they would not be able to obtain the household registration in Junji Town, so they sent several people to guard it, taking better care of it than their own ancestral tablets.

At this time, someone passed by and saw the newly erected boundary marker, feeling curious and surprised.

Everyone was discussing something in a low voice, and among the crowd was someone who was arranged by Zhang Zhouhua to gather information.

Bai Youyi quickly came to his senses and reluctantly reported to Bai Dashan who was far away in Taohua Village.

"Village Chief, something unexpected has happened."

Without waiting for Bai Dashan to ask, Bai Youyi said, "Overnight, You County is now under the jurisdiction of our Taohua Village."

Although he had no evidence, he knew without thinking that this matter was most likely arranged by Zhang Zhouhua.

"What?" Bai Dashan wondered, "What do you mean?"

"That's right. The incident in Xiaotao Township happened again. This time it's not just one township, but the entire You County."

After these words were spoken, Bai Dashan understood and became speechless.
