Chapter 141 Visiting County Officials
"I didn't realize that Lord Wu was capable of so many things!" Chen Qingwen exclaimed in amazement.
Chen Qingxin smiled and patted his shoulder:
"Don't just watch the fun, follow me down and take a look!"
After he finished speaking, Chen Qingxin pulled up his second brother's sleeve, leaped up, and landed lightly at the door of the county government hall.
"Protect my lord! There are assassins! Who are you?"
The yamen runners treated them as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They hastily drew out their weapons and surrounded Chen Qingxin and his sister.
When Wu Xuyang saw the boy and girl suddenly appearing at the door, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he asked tentatively:
"Are you Chen Qingxin? Chen Qingwen?!"
Chen Qingxin and Chen Qingwen smiled at each other, and Chen Qingwen said with a smile:
"It seems that our young county magistrate is indeed a top scholar. Hahaha! Can he even guess this?"
Wu Xuyang shook his head and waved to his men:
"Everyone, step back! These two young men are good people!"
Chen Qingxin, who was labeled as a good person, had a nice smile on his lips:
"Mr. County Magistrate, how did you know that my brother and I are good people?"
Wu Xuyang smiled smugly: "Haha, the difference between good people and bad people cannot be measured by eyes!
Good guys are good guys, bad guys are bad guys! No need to emphasize. Okay, the two young men, please follow me. "
After he finished speaking, he led the siblings to the inner hall of the county government office.
As soon as Chen Qingxin entered the door, he saw three people inside.
Magistrate Wu said with a smile: "Come on, everyone, stop what you are doing for a moment and I will introduce it to you.
These two young heroes are the famous brother and sister Chen Qingxin and Chen Qingwen.
My dear young heroes, these three are: County Magistrate Liu Yongan, County Lieutenant Li Changxing, Danzhou Governor Yang Xiaohai, and Lord Yang. "
Chen Qingxin smiled and bowed: "Greetings to all the county lords!"
Yang Xiaohai, Li Changxing and Liu Yongan all clasped their fists in return.
"My name is Yang Xiaohai."
"My name is Li Changxing."
"I am Liu Yongan."
After Wu Xuyang finished his introduction, he continued to speak to the others:
"Chen Qingxin and Chen Qingwen, brother and sister, are one of the victims in the Zhang Yuanwai case. They are also victims in the Chen Yaozu case."
"Oh?" The three of them were all stunned when they heard that.
"What? You three haven't heard of us? We are the real plaintiffs in the case of Mr. Zhang." Chen Qingxin smiled innocently.
"Oh, it's you guys. I've heard so much about you!"
Yang Xiaohai, Li Changxing and Liu Yongan quickly clasped their fists and said, "Seeing you today, it's true that heroes emerge young!"
Chen Qingxin responded modestly: "Not at all, not worth mentioning."
Chen Qingwen also clasped his fists and nodded to the officials.
Wu Xuyang didn't want Chen Qingxin to continue being modest, so he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Everyone, let's sit down and talk first!"
Everyone took their seats one after another.
Liu Yongan asked quietly, "I wonder why Miss Chen came to see us today?"
Chen Qingxin got straight to the point: "The reason I'm disturbing you today is first because I have some important news to tell you adults."
"Oh? What's the news?" Wu Xuyang looked at her curiously.
Chen Qingxin said with a serious face: "According to reliable information, in 40 days, there will be a major snowstorm in the southern part of Dashun."
"What? Heavy snow? There is no year when it doesn't snow in Dashun Kingdom? I don't understand what you mean by heavy snow." Yang Xiaohai's expression was indifferent when he heard this.
"I'm talking about the heavy snow lasting for two months! Do you still think it's normal?" Chen Qingxin curled his lips and smiled with ambiguous meaning.
Li Changxing's face was filled with the word "surprise":
“If it’s really as Miss Chen said, then it’s really troublesome.
Whenever there was heavy snow, the people of Dashun would pile up their houses into hills and stack up grain into seas to ensure there was enough food.
If this heavy snow comes with great force, I'm afraid...
Miss Chen, where did you hear this news? "
Chen Qingxin said seriously: "Although I cannot provide strong evidence for you, I guarantee with my character that this is most likely true.
Think about it, has the snow lasted this long in previous years? "
The four people answered in unison: "Never."
Wu Xuyang believed Chen Qingxin's words without a doubt:
"Miss Chen, do you know how big the snowfall area is? Is it just our Danzhou, or the entire Jingning Prefecture? Or a wider area?"
"Half of Dashun's territory, as well as the northern, northwest, and northeastern parts of Daqi, and the southern part of Dawei."
"Shh!" Everyone gasped, "Is it really this big?"
"That's right! That's all I have to say. You are welcome to decide whether to believe it or not. I'm reminding you because you are willing to do things for the people."
After Chen Qingxin finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, Liu Yongan, who had not expressed his opinion, stood up and said:
"Miss Chen, we will keep your reminder in mind, thank you!"
Chen Qingxin looked back and saw that Liu Yongan's eyes were shining with wisdom. He was obviously a very shrewd official.
She sighed inwardly, he is indeed an old fox!
"You're welcome, County Magistrate Liu. By the way, Mr. Zhang has been arrested. He must have a lot of shops and manors under his control, right?
Is it for sale?
If possible, I plan to buy a few shops or estates in the county town.
While several powerful people are here today, perhaps they can help settle the matter."
Everyone nodded: "No problem!"
After listening to Chen Qingxin's words, Liu Yongan's mind turned:
"Well, Miss Chen, to be honest with you, there are several restaurants and shops under Mr. Zhang that are ownerless. If Miss Chen is willing, you can go and take a look.
The location is good, but the area is a bit large and most people can’t afford it, so it has not been sold yet.
There are also two manors near the county town, each of which is about a thousand acres. I wonder if Miss Chen can afford them?"
"I can eat it, I can eat it. Do you have the blueprints of the restaurant and the manor? Let me take a look, hehe!" Chen Qingxin revealed his money-grubbing nature at this moment.
"Yes, yes. Miss Chen, please wait a moment."
Liu Yongan immediately took the thick account book on the table, opened it and pointed to one of the pages:
"Miss Chen, take a look here. These are the deeds and blueprints of the manor and the restaurant."
Chen Qingxin took a closer look and saw the following words written on it:
"Fuman Garden has a land area of 1000 mu; Binhu Garden has a land area of 1500 mu."
Chen Qingxin pointed to the "rosewood, land area 1800 acres" and asked: "Mr. County Magistrate, what does this rosewood mean?"
“The Rosewood Manor is a place where, except for a few courtyards, all the trees planted there are yellow rosewood.
The park covers an area of 1800 acres and is worth one million.
So, I didn’t introduce her to Miss Chen.”
Chen Qingxin exclaimed: "Is this true? Where can there be so much Huanghuali wood?"
Wu Xuyang smiled and continued, "There is indeed a garden of huanghuali trees. If Miss Chen is interested, you can go and see it at any time.
I have been to that courtyard before, and it is indeed correct."
After hearing this, Chen Qingxin was very excited: "It's better to do it today than today. Is it possible to send someone to accompany me to take a look now?
If that's okay, I'll take all three manors and three restaurants."
The tone of her voice, as if she was talking about what to eat for lunch today, confused the people around her.
The four officials, big and small, were shocked beyond words!
They looked at each other and saw the word "unbelievable" in each other's eyes.
Is this something a child of a certain age could say?
