With Hu County Magistrate resigning, Che Guangyao concurrently served as County Magistrate, and Hu Neng also assumed the official position of Chief Registrar a few days later. Although he was just a low-ranking official, he was completely different.
Hu Guangxiong went back to report on his work, and most of the people who followed him left, including the Ma family brothers. Only Hu Neng's family stayed, and Wanxia. In fact, he didn't even wait for Che Mingde to speak. He gave it to Hu Neng, and Hu Neng also understood and naturally knew what was going on. If the other party directly gave the person to Che Guangyao, it might be true, and it would be much better now.
Wanxia was indeed worried all the time, and she didn't feel at ease until the matter was settled. In the following days, she still focused on being her little maid, and at the same time, she began to learn how to read with Yang Xi seriously.
As autumn turned to winter, the transfer of Jing State naturally attracted the attention of the Ming State. The entire people north of the Changhua River were driven away. However, such driving did make many people become refugees, especially As the weather gets colder day by day, once the Changhua River freezes, many people will flee south.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Just one day before Che Mingde's birthday, the Changhua River froze overnight.
Because of the ice, I originally wanted to celebrate Che Mingde's birthday, but there were too many things to do. In the end, Che Mingde simply ate a bowl of noodles, but even so, he felt that the day was quite pleasant.
In the next few days, many refugees from the Ming Dynasty escaped through the blockade and fled to Jingguo. Liang Changmao issued an order to gather as many refugees as possible in Yuan'an County. As soon as they came here, border troops were mobilized. Secondly, it is easier to manage them together, and there are indeed a lot of supplies here. Of course, it is easier to distinguish whether there are spies among them.
In the midst of the busyness, the Chinese New Year soon came. Due to Che Guangyao's many affairs, most of the county government affairs were actually handed over to Hu Neng. Hu Neng became the county magistrate. As for the original county magistrate, he was a local in Yuan'an County. An old country squire is old and doesn't really have much energy. However, because of his great reputation, he still needs to rely on him to deal with local affairs. However, Hu Neng takes care of the actual matters, and Hu Neng has actually been helping Hu Guangxiong these years. Therefore, it was relatively smooth for him to take over the affairs. Compared with the county government affairs, the backyard became the place where Che Mingde made the final decision, and he became the little master here.
The Chinese New Year is naturally more lively, and the maids and servants in the backyard are all busy. Although the number of people has decreased since Magistrate Hu left, at least it is still very lively today.
The reason for the excitement is that another person came to the Tianshi Mansion. A Taoist priest named Li Danian came here and temporarily lived in the attached courtyard. Of course, it was mainly arranged by Pu Luzhen, and he was accompanied by all kinds of people. More than that, he was responsible for the security of the place where Liang Changmao and others lived, and someone was needed here, so Li Danian was asked to take charge.
The reason why Li Danian came here was because he was responsible for investigating the follow-up matters of Housekeeper Ma. The results were indeed the same as what County Magistrate Hu said. His wife did know this method, but she only admitted to letting Ma The housekeeper controlled the woman so that her husband would not escape her control, and did not admit to instructing housekeeper Ma to do those evil things. However, no matter what, she could no longer escape the identity of an evil cultivator and was directly imprisoned. Magistrate Hu was also punished Implicated, he was completely removed from his official position, and he was free to stay at home.
Che Mingde heard that Li Danian had solved the fire plague with his teacher Lin Haoming, and he immediately became close to the young man. Li Danian also had special respect for Lin Haoming, which made Che Mingde more fond of him. In addition, Che Mingde had a deep affection for Xuan Xuan. Lin Haoming was also inspired by Lin Haoming's affairs, and he often studied them, so the relationship between the two became particularly good.
In the evening, a large table of wine and food has been prepared in the mansion. Just the day before, Che Guangyao told us that during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Liang and others would come over to have dinner, but it was already dark and no one was seen. This made it difficult in the afternoon. Che Mingde and Li Danian, who were just sitting and chatting, both felt some differences.
In the evening, Li Danian couldn't sit still and went out to ask about the situation. Che Mingde ordered the mansion to be prepared. After all, it was rare for Liang Changmao and others to come over.
But at this moment, Li Danian hurried over and said, "Mingde, something happened. Master Liang fainted. Master Che knows that you know some Taoist medical skills, so he asked you to go over and have a look."
After hearing this, Che Mingde immediately put on his cloak and hurried away with Li Danian.
