While Su Minan was queuing up at the city gate, a fast horse galloped out of the city.

The splashed dust hit Su Minan's face.

"Bah, bah," Su Min'an spat out the dust in his mouth and entered the city cursing.

The yamen officer was galloping out, but suddenly turned his horse around and returned to the city.

"Wait a moment!"

Su Minan was walking smoothly on the road when a horse stopped him.

"What?"

Su Minan raised his head angrily.

I saw a muscular man with big shoulders and round waist jumped off the horse and walked up to Su Minan with excitement:

"I thought I was wrong just now, but I didn't expect it was really you, Doctor Su!"

"you are?"

Su Minan looked confused, who is this person?

"I am the county government's catcher, Dr. Su can just call me Lao Wang.

We saw it a few days ago, right in front of Tongrentang. "

Su Minan had an impression and immediately put on a warm expression:

"Oh, it's you, Mr. Wang, do you have a problem with me?"

"It's not me who has trouble with you, it's the magistrate who has trouble with you.

I left the city just to go to Peach Blossom Village to find you.

I didn't expect to meet you at the gate of the city. What a fate.

Stop saying anything, Dr. Su, and come with me to the county government office.

The magistrate is still waiting. "

As he said this, Lao Wang helped Su Minan onto the horse and sat behind.

The two of them rushed to the county government office.

With two grown men riding a horse together, Su Minan felt extremely awkward.

Fortunately, they arrived at the county government office in a short while, and Su Minan jumped off the horse nimbly without Lao Wang's help.

"Dr. Su, have you ever ridden a horse?"

Look at the skillful speed of dismounting, unlike someone who is riding a horse for the first time.

"No, I went to the city today just to buy horses."

"Doctor Su want to buy a horse?" Lao Wang is not a warm-tempered person.

But the master in front of him was the county magistrate. Lao Wang said with great insight:

"I have a relative who sells horses at the horse market. I will meet Mr. Wanzhi County later. I will take you there and keep it for you to choose a cheap and useful horse."

With an expert leading the way, Su Min'an doesn't have to worry about being cheated when buying a horse. He is very grateful:

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Wang."

"You're welcome, call me Lao Wang."

Su Min'an followed the good deeds and was happy to have a good relationship with Lao Wang:

"Lao Wang is a cheerful person. Call me Lao Su."

"Haha, okay, Lao Su."

"Old Wang."

"Eh!"

....

After the two called each other "Old Wang" and "Old Su", Su Min'an was brought to Xuzhi County.

"Sir, Doctor Su is here."

In front of the magistrate, Lao Wang looked serious.

There was no trace of the fact that this man was still laughing and joking with me just now.

Su Min'an was amazed at how well Lao Wang managed his expression, and Xuzhi County's slightly surprised voice rang in his ears:

"You're here so soon. Dr. Su, please take a seat. Come and serve tea!"

Soon a boy served tea, and Lao Wang withdrew at some point.

The waiter was also sent out.

The door to the class room was closed, and only Su Minan and Xu Zhixian were left in the room.

Su Minan took a sip of tea and frowned slightly.

During this battle, what Xu Zhixian wanted to tell him was not simple.

Sure enough, Xuzhi County spoke seriously:

"Dr. Su, I called you here today because I want to tell you something concerning the lives of your whole family."

Su Min'an put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Xuzhi County calmly:

"Master Magistrate, please speak."

Seeing Su Minan's calm behavior, Xuzhi County couldn't help but look at him high.

If ordinary people heard what he said, they would probably panic.

But this one seemed to be fine.

"Dr. Su, does he know who the rude man was who was killed at the door of Tongrentang a few days ago?"

Su Minan shook his head.

"I don't know."

If you attack an innocent child, no matter who it is, his death will not be unjust.

"The county later sent someone to investigate. That person was the third head of Black Bear Ridge, and that fierce woman was his wife.

When this county took office, it encountered a group of bandits who robbed it. The county killed all the bandits.

I just found out a few days ago that one of the bandits was the only son of the third master of Black Bear Ridge. "

Su Minan recalled the scene that day.

No wonder those two people called the dog officer to return my son's life that day. It turns out that this was the reason, but:

"What does this matter have to do with me?

The rude man attacked the imperial official and was killed on the spot by the Yamen officer, wasn't he? "

Xuzhi County naturally heard the implication of Su Minan's words.

He wanted to say that the bandit’s death had nothing to do with him, but: “This is indeed what the county warned its subordinates, but don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

The bandits from Black Bear Ridge have been entrenched in Chizhou County for many years, and their power cannot be underestimated.

The county is worried that what happened that day will be leaked out and implicate you. "

That makes sense, that being the case:

"Why did the magistrate allow the bandits in Black Bear Ridge to do evil? Why didn't he send troops to suppress them?"

Xuzhi County sighed helplessly:

"How can it be so easy? Black Bear Ridge has been entrenched in Chizhou County for more than 20 years and has not been destroyed by the imperial court. Why do you think it is?"

Su Minan thought of the historical stories he had read.

Although this is not the world he lives in, there is nothing new under the sun.

Wherever there are people, the unspoken rules and so on are probably the same. My guess is:

"Is there anyone in the Black Bear Ridge court?"

Xu Zhixian showed an expression of appreciation:

“It’s easy to talk to smart people.

Therefore, this county is not unable to move, but it dares not move.

If it moves, the county's Wushamao may not be safe. "

The most important thing is that he cannot risk drawing the attention of the Central Government to Chizhou County.

Su Minan looked at Xu Zhixian in surprise.

The first impression that Xu Zhixian gave him was that he was upright and inviolable.

Unexpectedly, he is also greedy for life and afraid of death.

But when he thought about his wife and children at home, he could understand.

They are all people with families and weaknesses, so they naturally act with caution.

"Then the magistrate called me here because he wanted to..."

"Doctor Su is my son's savior, and the bandits' disaster started in this county. Naturally, this county does not want to see Doctor Su killed by bandits.

What this county means is that Dr. Su can take his family to live in the county.

The county will provide money to rent a small courtyard next to the county government office for you.

No matter how rampant the bandits in Black Bear Ridge were, they would not dare to rush into the county town and kill people. "

Su Minan's eyes flashed. He really wanted to ask what happened to the two people who assassinated the magistrate before.

Xuzhi County showed good intentions, and Su Min accepted it with peace of mind.

It's just that their family doesn't plan to develop in the county for the time being.

So I politely declined.

"Don't worry, Xuzhi County. I and my family will be careful to take precautions, and the bandits in Black Bear Ridge may not come to me."

Su Min'an said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was that instead of being passively beaten, it would be better to take the initiative.

He has nothing to lose.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Xuzhi County had no choice but to give up.

He told Su Minan that if there was anything wrong, he must come to the county government office as soon as possible.

Before leaving, he gave Su Minan a can of good tea.

As soon as Su Minan left, the fat man Xu Linxi rushed over in a hurry:

"Dad, where is my master?"

"left already."

"Why didn't you tell me when the master was here?"

Xu Linxi stamped his feet dissatisfied.

Xuzhi County looked at his son with interest:

"Xier, do you recognize this master?

Dad checked, he is just an ordinary farmer. "

Xu Linxi asked: "Dad, can an ordinary farmer cure smallpox?

Can you lift a stone lion with one hand and kill someone? My master is not ordinary. "

Xuzhi County pinched his son's cheeks happily:

"It's good that you know. After the storm of Black Bear Ridge is over, you will prepare to formally come to recognize your master."
