After scolding Ge Qingming, the Zheng family and the Lu family left Shiran.
Ge Qingming was left alone in the hall, his face flushed and feeling extremely aggrieved.
Wow, wow...
The servant hiding not far away heard the sound of smashing things in the hall, couldn't help but shook his head, and quickly took a few steps back.
I just smashed a batch of tea cups before, and now I smashed another batch.
My master has been very angry these days.
Ge Qingming smashed several teacups one after another and sat down again, panting.
He originally thought that he could retire as a county magistrate.
But now it seems that I am not supporting myself in old age, I am just being criticized.
First, he was threatened by the aristocratic Wang family and boarded a pirate ship. As a result, the Wang family was wiped out. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he is threatened and reprimanded by other aristocratic families.
Simply don’t be too sad!
The officials of the governor's office demanded that they find the murderer as soon as possible and forced themselves.
The aristocratic family also sent people to force themselves.
Ge Qingming felt that he was not the right magistrate, so he thought about it and greeted his servants without hesitation.
"Someone is coming!"
"master!"
The servant quickly ran into the hall.
"Pack up your things, and then we'll leave here by boat."
Ge Qingming said frustrated.
The servants were stunned for a moment, then looked at Ge Qingming blankly, "Master..."
"No need to shout, pack your things quickly and leave, inform the lady!"
Although Ge Qingming is not young, he still has a beautiful woman in her thirties as his wife and a concubine in her twenties who was redeemed from Goulan.
Ge Qingming has just made up his mind. He plans to take his family and leave Guangzhou directly to become a rich man somewhere else.
Anyway, in the past few years as a county magistrate, he had already made a lot of money.
Just the gifts from aristocratic families amount to tens of thousands of dollars every year.
There are other things like filial piety and so on. In addition, there is a shipping company here, which deals with wealthy merchants from Persia, Tianzhu, Dashi, etc., and also gets a lot of money.
All these combined are enough to make a rich man.
He didn't want to continue to suffer from this.
…
Just do what you say, and your wife, concubine and other family members will unconditionally obey Ge Qingming's decision.
Ge Qingming himself planned to hang up his hat and leave without even thinking about saying hello to anyone.
So I quickly packed up my belongings, hired a big boat, and boarded the boat overnight to leave.
It wasn't until the next day when the county government officials came on duty that they noticed that the back house of the county government office was quiet. I boldly took a look and immediately exclaimed.
"The magistrate is missing!"
"What?
The magistrate is missing?"
"Yeah, yeah, there's not a single family member inside. It seems like the county magistrate ran away with his family."
"Ge Qingming ran away, what should we do?"
…
All the government officials were a little confused.
But they also have smart people, and the scribe quickly ran to the governor's office to report.
The officials of the governor's office were stunned by the report.
Why did the county magistrate suddenly run away?
Guangzhou Prefecture Biejia was full of questions, which was very strange.
Ge Qingming has been the county magistrate here not for a year or two, but for about eight years.
After such a long time, almost everyone from the governor of the governor's office to the traffickers and footmen knew that Ge Qingming's character was just that of a wallflower, and he was also a good old man.
He has no ambition and is greedy for his small position as county magistrate.
It should be said that I like a little bit of power, but don't like to do serious things. I just want to enjoy myself, and it's best to be calm all the time.
However, it cannot be said that his idea is wrong. Most of the officials assigned to local areas, except for some younger ones, have this character.
However, Ge Qingming's sudden death was beyond everyone's expectation.
It's like someone is very greedy for money, and suddenly one day he stops being greedy and doesn't even want any money.
Isn't this weird?
Guangzhou Mansion Biejia stared at the clerk who brought the news with some worry and asked: "Do you know when he left?"
"Replying to my lord, I don't know this. Almost everyone doesn't know it. That is, when we came to the county government office this morning, we found that the back house of the county government office was empty and the official seal was hanging in the main hall."
The clerk replied very respectfully.
"It looks like he really hung up his hat and left, or left overnight."
Biejia from Guangzhou Mansion murmured to himself.
"Okay, you go back first. The governor's office will send officials to take over soon."
Although the county magistrate is a small position, it is quite important.
Some miscellaneous and messy matters need to be handled by the county magistrate.
Otherwise, if all those trivial things are reported to the higher-ups, who will take care of those big officials?
"Here!"
The scribe felt that he had shown his face in front of others, so he left the Governor's Mansion very carefully.
…
On the other hand, Ge Qingming's sudden departure also caught the Zheng family and the Lu family a little off guard.
They went to scold Ge Qingming during the day, but he ran away at night.
Is this a threat to Ge Qingming from the aristocratic family?
Although some officials in the Governor's Office were linked to aristocratic families, there were also those from poor families who were loyal to the imperial court and to Li Er.
They immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with the Zheng family and the Lu family.
The Zheng family and the Lu family did not expect Ge Qingming to be so glass-hearted.
It’s not the first time you’ve been scolded, so you can’t hold back this time?
They are also relatively depressed.
But Ge Qingming is gone after all, and the stains on their bodies cannot be washed away at all.
It can be said that Ge Qingming was really completely relaxed at this time, and all the pressure placed on him by his bosses and aristocratic families had disappeared.
Now it really seems like I am retiring, holding my wife and concubine in my arms, drinking wine, eating stir-fried vegetables, and looking at the beautiful scenery around me very leisurely on the boat.
Just don't relax too much.
If people from the aristocratic family knew what Ge Qingming was like now, they would definitely be very angry.
If Ge Qingming was so relaxed, Muchuan and the others would not be so lucky.
On the third day after Kui Mulang and Jing Muyan completed their tasks, Muchuan received the news in Fengli County.
The carrier pigeons were very fast, and Muchuan was very satisfied with Kuimulang's performance.
Now that he has received the news, Muchuan feels a lot more relaxed. It just so happens that the Ghost Faced Army has almost been repaired.
Everyone hurried to Chang'an again.
The branch of the Wang family was wiped out, and Muchuan believed that the road ahead would be smooth.
So Muchuan could be said to be very relaxed when he was on the road.
However, Muchuan thought well, but something unexpected happened in the middle.
…
boom!
Wow…
Just as they were passing a mountain pass, suddenly the cliff on the left collapsed.
The faces of Ghost Face Army and Muchuan changed drastically.
