Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Jinchen coaxed the little guard in his arms to sleep, and after letting the team continue to move forward, he also closed his eyes and took a nap.

Maybe because he didn't sleep well in the past two days, Yajiu slept particularly long and deeply this time.

Within a few days, the carriage team arrived outside Yuhang County.

"Master, the gate to the county is strictly guarded. If we go in rashly, we might be targeted."

The guards who had explored the way came back at full speed to report.

Since leaving Wanling City, they changed all the ways they addressed Jinchen to be on the safe side, to avoid being taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.

"It's okay. Remember, when you enter Yuhang County this time, in addition to keeping your identity secret, the more high-profile you act, the better."

Jinchen lowered the curtain, and his lazy voice continued, "As for their identities, just treat them as a wealthy family from the south."

"Yes."

Da Hu yelled, "Go into the city!"

There were more than twenty people in the accompanying team. As soon as they approached the county gate, they attracted the attention of many people, including the officers and soldiers who were conducting the inspection.

"Hey, hey, hey, routine inspection. Where did you get it from? Do you have a pass?"

The leader of the soldiers, with a big knife on his waist, stopped the carriage with a curious look in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes. Please take a look, sir." Da Hu handed the pass to the chief of the soldiers, while secretly observing their attire and number of people.

Logically speaking, they came from Danyang County, and the distance was not more than a hundred miles, so they did not need a pass. However, in order to keep their identities secret, they forged a different document.

"We are coming from the southernmost part." The leader of the soldiers closed the pass and frowned at the large group of people. "What are you doing here? Why are you bringing so many people with you?"

Da Hu smiled flatteringly, "Our young master likes to travel around. This is because he saw that Wu County is a good place and wanted to stay for a while. We are all servants accompanying him."

As soon as he finished speaking, an angry roar came from the carriage behind him, "How can you do things? You're wasting time just to enter the county gate! Don't you know how to show respect to the officials, you idiot?"

Da Hu was frightened by the young master's "loud and domineering" voice. He almost didn't react. He exclaimed and quickly took out a large bag of silver from his luggage.

"Sir, you've worked hard today. Take this and have a drink with the brothers."

The leader of the soldiers weighed the bag, was stunned, and quickly opened it. He was dazzled by the white silver and his eyes changed immediately.

"Please come in, please come in. Don't disturb your young master's rest. If you need anything, just come and find me."

You know, the money he made from this trip is equivalent to his annual salary!

"Hey." Da Hu responded and waved back, "Let's go to the inn and rest."

They deliberately made a huge noise, and Da Hu could feel more and more eyes on them, but he just pretended not to see anything.

Inside the carriage, Yajiu looked at Jinchen in confusion, silently asking him the purpose of his doing so.

"Want to know why?" Jinchen rubbed his head.

"The master wants the county magistrate here to notice you."

Yajiu could think of this. Although Wu County had frequent trade, it was not the most important hub. If a wealthy family suddenly came, the county magistrate would definitely notice it.

But he didn't understand why he should do this.

Yajiu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then guessed quietly, "There is something wrong with the magistrate of Wu County."

"As expected of a Sky Guard, you are sharp and insightful," Jinchen teased.

Yajiu curled his lips and looked at him aggrievedly, "You said you wouldn't care about it..."

Jinchen laughed, "This is a compliment to you."

He stood up and let Yajiu help him put on his coat. He continued to explain, "Sun Zheng, the magistrate of Wu County, is the Sun Zheng on the list."

Seeing Yajiu's surprised look, Jinchen did not say how he knew it, but just said, "My father went to Yuhang County to investigate. In fact, Sun Zheng had already disguised himself as a cat and substituted for the prince. The one in Yuhang County is just a cover."

Yajiu was so smart that he understood Jinchen's thoughts in just a few moments and nodded obediently.

He tied the jade belt around Jinchen's waist, gently wrapped his arms around her waist and held her in his arms, "I will protect the master."

Jinchen pinched the boy's chin and kissed him.

-

After only staying in the inn for half a day, Da Hu had already chosen a house that evening. He spent a few hundred taels more and asked Fang Yazi to find someone to clean it as soon as possible. Jin Chen moved in the next day.

In the following days, the whole Wu County knew that a young master from a wealthy family had come from the south. He spent money extravagantly all day long and had a beautiful and exquisite husband by his side. It could be said that he doted on her to the core.

As long as the husband took a fancy to something, all the good things in the shop would be bought the next day; if he went out to eat in a restaurant, it would be even more jaw-dropping. As long as the husband said that a dish tasted good, the chef would be rewarded handsomely, and it was said that the reward was enough to buy half of the restaurant!

"It's a pity, though. It is said that the husband is a fool. He will be scared and timid if Master Wu is not around."

"What's that? You don't know yet. The people in their house are really rich! They keep moving all kinds of fine jade and gold into the house. It is said that it is because the young master likes shiny things!"

"If you ask me, they are extremely rich. I have never heard of such a thing in my life. Even the richest family in Wu County can't compare to them! No, it's not just that they can't compare to them, they are far behind."

Several people were talking about this matter while drinking, their voices were rough and emotional.

Soon, the matter was known to the county magistrate Sun Zheng.

He stroked his beard, a light flashed in his narrow eyes, and he had already thought about it in his mind.

The emperor is far away and this place is too far away from where King Cheng is. In order to save his life, he has not made any money for a long time.

If I could get the help of this so-called young master, even if I do something that is not allowed by the court in the future, I would still have some money.

"Not bad, that's it."

Sun Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Master, go and invite Master Wu to come sit in the back hall of the government office."

“Yeah.”

Half an hour later, Jinchen and Yajiu brought Dahu to the door, there were only three people.

Sun Zheng was very suspicious, but when he saw that Jinchen did not bring any followers, he felt less resentful and tempted.

"Master Wu, seeing is believing."

Sun Zheng invited them to sit down in the back hall and immediately asked the yamen runner to serve tea. "You all wait outside while I have a good talk with Master Wu."

"Yes."

Jin Chen seemed puzzled. She hugged her "husband" for a long time and asked in confusion, "Master Sun, is there anything important?"

"Of course, of course." Sun Zheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "So Master Wu's husband and his servant should probably stay away as well."

As he was speaking, Jinchen pressed Yajiu's waist.

Yajiu thought of what Jinchen said when he came, and immediately threw himself into his arms.

"No... Husband, I'm afraid of this place."

She seemed to be angry and acting like a spoiled child, but in fact she was really embarrassed.

Why do I have to call you husband?

Yajiu leaned in Jinchen's arms and pursed her lips. Her face turned red from her neck to her ears, but her heart felt as sweet as honey.
