Chapter 176: County Magistrate Zhou writes another memorial announcing the good news

At the moment when County Magistrate Zhou and Li Laishu arrived at the lobby, more than a dozen common people carrying buckets of water came to the gate of Tangjia Escort Agency.

A middle-aged man who had just arrived was about to line up when he suddenly noticed a sign hanging on a big tree outside the gate, so he hurried over to take a closer look...

When he saw what was written on the wooden sign, he was horrified and said, "Everyone, come and see, Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce has notified us that it will temporarily close its business."

"Ah, how is that possible? Didn't we do well yesterday?"

After hearing this man's shouting, most of the people queuing in front of the escort agency did not believe it and subconsciously asked in unison.

"Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is temporarily closed. There is relief food available in the county government office. All the wells in the county government office have water."

Hearing that these people didn't believe it, this person simply read out loud what was written on the sign.

After reading the contents on the wooden sign, the man continued, "Come and see, it's all written on this sign."

After hearing what this person said, several literate common people did not hesitate to walk to the tree with the wooden sign, and then carefully read the content written on the wooden sign...

The illiterate people felt strange and rushed to the tree to watch...

……

After finding out what was written on the wooden sign, everyone felt nervous.

Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce has closed down. Where can we buy cheap food and get free water in the future?

I don’t know if what is written on this wooden sign is true?

If I can’t get relief food from the county government, or if the well in the county government is still dry, how will I live in the future?

……

After some discussion, everyone decided to go to the county government to see the situation:

On the one hand, see if the county government has any relief grain available.

On the other hand, let’s see if there is really water in the well in the county government office.

"Dong dong dong..."

County Magistrate Zhou talked to Li Laishu for a while and was about to go back to the backyard to write a letter to announce the good news when there was a hurried knock on the door outside the yamen.

The knocking sound outside the yamen was so loud in the quiet night that even County Magistrate Zhou and Li Laishu in the second courtyard could hear it clearly.

The bailiff who was patrolling in front of the lobby was dozing off when he was suddenly awakened by the rapid knocks on the door.

"Li Laishu, go check what's going on. Why is there someone knocking on the door so early in the morning?"

"Yes, my lord!"

After answering, Li Laishu ran to the outer courtyard in confusion...

Who will knock on the door at this time?

After Li Laishu left, County Magistrate Zhou turned and walked towards the backyard...

The patrolling yamen runner was awakened by the knock on the door, and seemed to hear the voices of County Magistrate Zhou and Li Laishu. He hurried out from the corner and ran into the yard...

……

When he ran into the yard and saw the scene inside, the man felt that there was something wrong with his eyes.

Before I dozed off, the yard was empty. How come it is full of things now? It's so strange!

After coming to his senses, the man quickly ran to the grain pile to check...

When he saw several sacks filled with food, he couldn't believe it. After coming to his senses, he quickly ran to the backyard...

……

"Dong dong dong..."

There was another hurried knock on the door outside the yamen.

"Here we are. What are you knocking on so early in the morning?"

Running to a side door, Li Laishu opened the door and scolded.

When he opened the side door and saw a large group of people standing outside the government office, Li Laishu was confused and asked:

"What are you doing here at the government office so early in the morning?"

"Boss Li, there's a sign outside the Tang Family Escort Agency, informing the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce that it's temporarily closed. It also says that people can get food at the county government office, and that water is flowing out of the wells in the county government office..."

Hearing Li Laishu's question, a man outside the yamen immediately responded loudly.

Someone had already responded, so the other people outside the yamen stopped talking and waited for Li Laishu's response.

After hearing what this person said, Li Laishu suddenly felt strange.

With so many people talking about this, it must be true.

Why did Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce announce a temporary suspension of business?

Didn’t you do well yesterday?

It is true that you can get food by coming to the county government.

There is so much grain in the county government, it must be used to help the people.

There are four wells in the yamen, two of which have dried up, and the other two are about to dry up.

How is it possible for the well in the yamen to produce water?

What if there really is water in the well? It wouldn’t hurt to take a look.

After thinking for a while, Li Laishu turned and walked into the yamen, intending to see if there was really water in the well.

……

There are four wells in the four courtyards of the county government office, one well in each courtyard.

The well in the first courtyard is in the southeast corner of the courtyard.

……

Walking to the well in the first yard and opening the wooden cover, Li Laishu was incredulous when he saw the shimmering water in the well.

In recent days, the water in this well which is more than 20 meters deep has been only two or three meters deep, but now the well is full of water.

What happened tonight was so weird.

As soon as the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce announced its closure, so much food and water appeared in the county government office.

Not only that, there was a sign hung outside the Tangjia Escort Agency to inform the people to come to the county government office to collect food and to inform the people that water had appeared in the well in the county government office.

In addition to the fact that the owner of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce was very foresighted and knew that there would be a large amount of food and water in the county government office tonight, there is another possibility: the food and water in the county government office were originally delivered to the county government office by Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, so Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce decided to suspend business.

The cheap food and free water in Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce had just improved the lives of the people and disaster victims in Linshui County. Its sudden closure was bound to cause an uproar.

The owner of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce must have known the consequences of a sudden closure, which is why he made these preparations in advance.

……

After coming to his senses, Li Laishu quickly ran to the backyard...

The bailiff patrolling in front of the lobby ran into the fourth courtyard before Li Laishu.

This person first ran to the outside of County Magistrate Zhou's bedroom and called a few times. When he found that there was no one in the bedroom, he ran to the door of the study where there was light...

"Sir, something terrible has happened. There is suddenly a lot of food in the yard in front of the lobby..."

As soon as he ran to the study door, the man shouted loudly.

"Huang Erniu, you may have just woken up and found out about this. I have known about this for a long time. It is almost dawn, go down and have a rest."

amount……

"Thank you for your consideration, sir. I'll take my leave now!"

Huang Erniu felt embarrassed when he heard County Magistrate Zhou say this. He thanked him sincerely and turned to run to the outer courtyard...

Not long after Huang Erniu went out, Li Laishu ran to the door of County Magistrate Zhou's study.

"Sir, something big has happened to Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce."

"Li Laishu, you are going to scare me to death. What happened to Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce? Come in and tell me!"

At this time, County Magistrate Zhou was writing a memorial to announce the good news.

After being frightened by Li Laishu, County Magistrate Zhou immediately scrapped the half-written memorial and then scolded him.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Sir, a sign has been hung outside the Tang Family Escort Agency tonight, notifying the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce to temporarily suspend business..."

After responding, Li Laishu walked into the study and told County Magistrate Zhou what had just happened.
