This Prince Consort Is No Pushover!

However, although the fief is small, there are also seven counties in it.

These counties are close together, which is convenient for him to manage.

Longxing county is in the center of the fief.

It is relatively close to the other six counties here, so he arrived in this county first with his team and prepared to live here.

At this time, everyone in the motorcade was waiting outside the gate of Longxing County, waiting for the county magistrate and officials to meet.

However, after arriving at the gate for a long time, everyone found that no official came to meet.

There were only a few ragged soldiers standing at the gate of the city. The whole gate looked cold and desolate, and everyone immediately felt a bad premonition.

Seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly rode forward and came to Chu xuanchen's carriage, "Lord, what's the matter? We sent an official letter to Fang county magistrate tomorrow morning. Why didn't he bring someone to meet him?"

"Yes, what's the matter with this county magistrate? When our Lord came to fief, he didn't even have the most basic etiquette? What does he mean?" Mo Zhu said, with a layer of anger on his face.

"It's all right. Let's talk later." Chu xuanchen raised his hand and looked calm.

He waited first to see what the hell these officials were doing.

At this time, the gate in front suddenly opened slowly.

Then, a middle-aged man in a blue official suit was running quickly with several officers.

The man shouted as he ran, "Lord, stop your anger. It's too late to discharge the official!"

With that, he had run to Chu xuanchen's carriage.

Then, he looked at Chu xuanchen carefully and found that Chu xuanchen was wearing an indigo Prince's uniform. After that, he hurriedly said, "officer Fangzheng, is the magistrate of Longxing county. Welcome to the prince."

Chu xuanchen glanced up and found that the man in front of him was very thin and dark, and the official suit on his body had been patched with several long patches.

He couldn't help but be stunned. He had never seen an official who would wear patched clothes.

He said faintly, "are you Fangzheng?"

Fang Zheng nodded hurriedly, looking very simple and honest, "yes, the lower officer is. Sorry, Lord, the lower officer just had something at home, so he was late. Please calm down, Lord."

"You are the only official in Longxing county? What about the other officials?" Chu xuanchen looked up, full of dignity.

"That is, county magistrate Fang, his Highness Prince Li came in person. According to the rules, you should lead officials to meet here. Not only did you not call the officials, but you were late. How did you do it? Did you not pay attention to my Lord at all?" Mozhu was angry and went down the tunnel.

Hearing this, Fang Zheng wiped the sweat on his forehead awkwardly and said, "Lord, calm down. That's not what I mean, officer... Officer..."

"Calm down, Lord. It's too late to serve!" When Fang Zheng was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain it, another man ran over the gate.

Chu xuanchen looked up and found that the man was wearing a gray coarse cloth.

His clothes were dirty, and a pair of trouser legs were rolled up high, and the underside of those trouser legs was covered with mud.

He's like this, but he calls himself a "servant" and everyone is stunned!

Chu xuanchen and Yun ruoyue looked at each other, and both of them were confused.

"Xuanchen, who is this man? Why doesn't he look like an official?" Cloud ruoyue approached Chu xuanchen and whispered.

Chu xuanchen nodded, "I don't think so. I want to see what tricks these people are playing."

With that, he looked at Fang Zheng and said in a deep voice, "county magistrate Fang, who is he?"

Fang Zheng hurriedly said, "Lord, his name is Zhou Qing. Lord Zhou is the county mayor of our county. He is in charge of archives, warehouses, grain and horses, and taxes."

"County magistrate?" Chu xuanchen looked at Zhou Qing, who was like a farmer, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Such a person, he simply can't connect him with the county magistrate.

At this time, Zhou Qing hurried forward and said to Chu xuanchen, "Lord, I'm sorry. I should have come to meet you on time, but I still have something to deal with just now, so I'm late. Please calm down."

When Mo Zhu saw that only two officials, Zhou Qing and Fangzheng, came, he immediately angrily said, "enough! How dare you neglect the Lord so much? Are there only two officials in Longxing county? What about the others?"

"Lord, here we are!" Just then, a dozen men came running to the gate.

Chu xuanchen looked intently and found that although these men were wearing official hats, they were all wearing worn-out clothes.

One by one, they were extremely tanned. Looking at the frost on their faces, they didn't look like officials at all, but rather like refugees on the street.

"What's going on?" Looking at this group of people, Chu xuanchen helplessly helped his forehead, feeling some skull pain.

"Lord, they are all my subordinates. Now they are all here!" Fang Zheng is busy.

At this time, as soon as those men rushed over, they hurriedly surrounded Chu xuanchen and saluted him, "see the Lord, the next official is master Liu of Longxing county."

"Xiaguan is Zhang Dianshi."

"The next officer is a county lieutenant."

"My name is Li Chun, and I am in charge of teaching."

“……”

After the group of men introduced themselves, Fang Zheng hurriedly said, "Lord, great, all the officials are here!"

Looking at these noisy and unruly people, Chu xuanchen sighed helplessly, "county magistrate Fang, are these really officials of Longxing county?"

Among the people here, only county magistrate Fang has the most official appearance, and others are very much like mobs.

He seriously suspected that other people were disguised as refugees.

Fang Zheng nodded firmly, "yes, Lord, our Longxing county is a little poor, so..."

"Does poverty have anything to do with being late? Enough, tell me why you are all late. I need a reasonable explanation!" Chu xuanchen said coldly, and his body was full of dignity.

"This..." Fang Zheng looked at Chu xuanchen with some embarrassment, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

At this time, Master Liu, who was standing behind him, said, "to tell you the truth, the county magistrate Fang's clothes were accidentally broken when he was hoeing the ground just now. It took a little time for the county magistrate's wife to help him mend his clothes, so we were late!"

"Hoe the ground?" Chu xuanchen looked at Xiangyun ruoyue and was speechless.

How dare a county magistrate hoe the ground?

It turned out that the reason why an official was late could be so unheard of.

It sounds like it's made up, but seeing Fang Zheng's embarrassed appearance, he thinks it's true.

At this time, the county magistrate Zhou Qing said, "Lord, I just forgot the time when I was working in the field, so I came late!"

"Lord, I'm the same. I don't want to neglect you. I originally wanted to come earlier, but my mother-in-law insisted that I finish planting those rows of seedlings and said that I wanted to rush for spring ploughing while the weather was good. I couldn't beat her, so I was late!" Zhang Dianshi looked helpless.
