Many talented people are reading books with Mr. Li Zhiyuan just to participate in this Chongming Prefecture Literature Competition. Everyone gathered here, and three gentlemen from Dingyuan County took turns to teach their experience, hoping that Dingyuan County can be in the next literary competition.
Achieve better results in the competition.
Chen Changxue and Gu Changqing were sitting in a pavilion in the distance, looking at the talented students from Dingyuan County who were studying hard in the school, their eyes full of joy.
Gu Changqing poured a cup of the tea he had just made for Chen Changxue, and then looked at all the talented people in the school again. For a moment, there was a hint of depression in his eyes. Among the many talented people in Dingyuan County, Xiao Chu was the only one missing!
Feeling Gu Changqing's emotions, Chen Changxue also sighed dejectedly, his sigh was long and his tone was full of helplessness.
"Brother Changxue, tell me, can that little guy Xiao Chu still come?" Gu Changqing asked Chen Changxue with a look of dejection on his face.
Chen Changxue was a little helpless, shook his head, sighed again, and then said: "Hey, Mr. Xiao and his son didn't come yesterday, so I went to Zhengjia Village to visit in the afternoon."
Speaking of this, Chen Changxue's face became more depressed, "The news came back from the Xiao family that Zhengjia Village encountered bandits the day before yesterday. Not only did they loot all the food in Zhengjia Village, they also robbed Xiao Chu, a little guy.
At this time, Xiao Changan and his wife Liu have already gone to the county magistrate’s office to file a complaint, and I don’t know what the outcome will be now.”
Gu Changqing also showed regret in his eyes. This little guy was fine, but why was he kidnapped by bandits? Why this little guy? If he was killed by bandits, with this kid's talent
In other words, isn't it a pity?
After a while, the two of them sighed and cursed the hateful bandits countless times. You know, a child prodigy like Xiao Chu only comes out in thousands of years.
Not long after, old Mr. Li Zhiyuan also walked up to the two of them and said to them, "You two, I have ordered people to go to the county government office to ask about Xiao Chu's matter. It is said that the county magistrate has taken Xiao Changan and his wife there.
Chongming Mansion seeks help from the prefect. If Chongming Mansion’s soldiers and some thieves are mobilized then, it shouldn’t be a problem, so you two can rest assured.”
As Li Zhiyuan finished speaking, Chen Changxue and Gu Changqing relaxed their brows slightly, but there was still a hint of worry. Xiao Chu is now their disciple, and is probably the most proud disciple in decades. How can it be
Is there any reason to worry?
Moreover, in the Chongming Prefecture Literature Competition in a few days, if there is this little guy, I think I can get better results in Dingyuan County, and maybe I can really break the curse of Dingyuan County being the last in ten thousand years.
Hearing Li Zhiyuan's words, Chen Changxue and Gu Changqing felt a little calmer, but there was still a hint of worry. You must know that they were a group of ruthless bandits. If a child of only six years old was captured by them, how could he still have the ability to resist?
?It would be a pity for Xiao Chu, a child prodigy, if he was harmed by them.
Mr. Li Zhiyuan looked at the worried expressions on their faces and sighed, "Hey, wait a minute. I'll send someone to the county government to inquire about the situation."
"It's been two days, I guess there should be some news."
Although Li Zhiyuan comforted the two of them, he was also a little worried. Although he knew more information than the other two, he didn't have much confidence in his heart right now. What if the little guy Xiao Chu was harmed by that group of thugs?
It's really a pity that Xiao Chu is so talented.
...
Dingyuan County Government.
The head catcher, Lao Zhang, had already received a message from the county magistrate Chen Yuannian, and he led a group of government officials to line up to greet him.
"Head, the magistrate has gone out many times, but this is the first time he has been greeted with such a grand ceremony. Why is this?"
One of the government officials didn't understand and asked Zhang, the head catcher.
The head catcher, Lao Zhang, was also very puzzled in his heart. He didn't know why the friendly Mr. Chen suddenly did such a trick. However, he vaguely learned from the magistrate's letter that a big shot should be coming.
Who in their county can be treated so seriously by the magistrate?
Could it be that the prefect is here in person?
"You kid, why do you have so many problems? Just do your own thing. However, I guess that the magistrate sent a message to us to welcome you grandly. Maybe a big shot will arrive soon."
After the arrester, Mr. Zhang, spoke, all the government officials straightened their bodies and stood in a row, with respectful expressions on their faces, waiting for the so-called 'big shot'.
In the distance, Chen Yuannian and Xiao Changan's family were all sitting on the same carriage, but there was enough space in the carriage and it did not seem crowded.
In about two hours, we had entered Dingyuan County from Chongming Mansion.
"Hurry up, be energetic, the county magistrate is here." The old catcher Zhang saw the carriage approaching from a distance, warned him from behind, and then went to meet it.
"Lord Magistrate!"
When Chen Yuannian got out of the car, the head catcher Zhang hurried forward to say hello.
However, Mr. Zhang looked behind him again, but he did not see any other carriages. There was no sign of any big shot. Why?
After a while, Xiao Changan and his family got off the carriage. When they saw the three of them, Mr. Zhang knew that the trip must be a success. He had met Xiao Changan and his wife last time. This child between them
, probably the child rescued from the bandits.
"Old Zhang, thank you for your hard work, and you have to welcome me here. This is the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Chu." Chen Yuannian turned around and introduced the head catcher, Old Zhang.
The head catcher, Lao Zhang, felt strange in his heart, wasn't he just a child?
As for introducing it specifically?
"I've met Mr. Xiao!" Although Mr. Zhang was a little puzzled, the etiquette that should be done is still indispensable.
But Mr. Zhang, the head catcher, was still thinking about the big shot in his mind, and he didn't know why the county magistrate wanted him and others to welcome him here in a grand manner.
"Master Xiao, it's getting late. How about having dinner at the county government office?" County magistrate Chen Yuannian asked Xiao Chu in a rather polite tone.
Xiao Chu was puzzled when he heard this. This old man actually wanted to treat him to a meal? Did he have such a great reputation? But then he thought again, it seemed that this guy was looking for someone to greet him and treat him to a meal.
It must be for Xiao Tai's sake, right? After all, he is also the god-grandson of Mr. An Guogong. As the county magistrate, he naturally has to be more optimistic about himself.
Xiao Chu chuckled. This old man is quite thoughtful. He also knows how to invest with potential?
But Xiao Chu did not answer directly. Instead, he cast his gaze on Xiao Changan, as if waiting for Xiao Changan's intention.
The policeman on the side, Lao Zhang, was a little puzzled. The dignified county magistrate actually wanted to invite a commoner to dinner? And the meaning in his words seemed to be asking the other party's opinion. He was just a child. Why?
