Chapter 26 Gifts
Yang Rui kept the location where the thieves appeared in his heart, thinking that in the future, he would have to bring people to search. There may be a bandit native NPC camp here. If it can be found, it would be of high value!
Before he knew it, Yang Rui took advantage of the "Yipinxiang" convoy to rush out of the mountains and ridges. After only less than two hours, he arrived at Juping County. The speed was so fast that Yang Rui sighed very much.
The map in the game is a hundred times that of the real map. It is more than 1,000 kilometers from Juping County to Dashan Village. Although the movement speed in the corresponding game has also increased greatly, it took Yang Rui more than half a day to walk! In comparison, it can be seen that the speed of the carriage is so fast!
When he arrived at the location of "Yipinxiang" Inn, Yang Rui naturally sat down with Manager Wang for a while, mainly talking about the current supply and marketing of sweet potatoes. After that, Yang Rui couldn't help but ask about the matter about the county magistrate's mansion.
"It seems that the village chief Lieyang is really anxious to wait." Manager Wang took a sip of tea and glanced at Butler Zhao, "But it takes a suitable time to visit the county magistrate's mansion."
"Shopkeeper, this time I came with Lieyang Village Chief in Xia, and we had a lot of talks along the way. It would be better to take Lieyang Village Chief to the county magistrate first to try one or two. If you can see the county magistrate, it would be best. If you can't see it for the time being, let Lieyang Village Chief stay in my Yipinxiang for a few days, and you will always have a chance. This will also save the trouble of Lieyang Village Chief's waiting." Butler Zhao took the initiative to agree to the job of taking Yang Rui to the county magistrate's office.
To a large extent, Butler Zhao's performance should be due to the 100 silver given by Yang Rui. NPCs are rarely so enthusiastic and thoughtful to players! I have to admit that money is not spent anywhere!
"That's OK!" Manager Wang hesitated and continued to taste the tea ceremony. "Then let Butler Zhao take Village Chief Lieyang to take a look first. Anyway, Butler Zhao often walks around the county magistrate's mansion. If the county magistrate has no major issues, he should have met the village chief Lieyang!"
"Then thank you, Manager Wang!" Yang Rui stood up and bowed, said goodbye to Manager Wang, and then headed towards the county magistrate's mansion with Manager Zhao.
Since Mr. Zhao was accompanied by his side, he went to the county magistrate's mansion to take a carriage. According to Mr. Zhao, he could not be inferior to his outfit, which gave people a much worse first impression and may be looked down upon!
On the carriage, there were only Yang Rui and Zhangguin Zhao. Zhangguin Zhao did not forget to give Yang Rui a few more words, implying that Yang Rui needed to give gifts when he entered the county magistrate's mansion. He also gave a standard for giving gifts, with a minimum of no less than 500 silver! It is best to give some distinctive rare items!
Yang Rui was naturally prepared for this. The few 9 items he put on his body when he came to Juping County last time were still there. However, he was still very happy to hear the explanation from Butler Zhao. Yang Rui had never done gifts in the game before, and he had never given them in reality. Therefore, after Butler Zhao's guidance, he found out a lot of the tricks, and naturally he became much more calm in his heart.
"Oh, isn't this Yipinxiang carriage? I wonder which shopkeeper is going to work in the county magistrate's office?"
Before we knew it, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion. The sound of interrogation from outside the car was very clear, but it was quite polite, obviously for the people in the car to listen to it.
Butler Zhao was obviously very familiar with this. When he heard the words of the soldiers outside the carriage, he raised the curtains of the carriage, showed his face, and then handed out some broken silver and said, "Thank you all for your hard work, please invite some guys to have tea."
"Oh! Isn't this shopkeeper Zhao?! Thank you! You are polite!" The soldiers outside the car took Butler Zhao's money in panic and quickly released the carriage.
This fully shows that Butler Zhao's face, or "Yi Pin Xiang", is very easy to use in the county magistrate's mansion. Butler Zhao is obviously just a butler, but when he arrived at the door, he became a "shopkeeper"! It can be seen that these soldiers usually have a lot of benefits from him!
Yang Rui understood clearly, and he could only enter this door only when he reached a certain level of identity! Last time, Yang Rui had visited the county magistrate's mansion alone and handed a lot of money to several guards, but he refused to accept it and even arrested him!
Soon the carriage came to the second gate of the county magistrate's mansion. Butler Zhao pulled Yang Rui off the carriage together, because walking further inside was the inner mansion of the county magistrate's mansion, and the carriage could only reach its current position.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a man drinking tea alone on a stone bench under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the inner courtyard! This man was dressed very simple, but his temperament was not like an ordinary old man, and he looked even more transcendent than Butler Zhao.
"Butler Wei! How are you doing recently? You are still so happy!"
"Oh, is Mr. Zhao coming?"
"That's right! I wonder if County Magistrate Liu is in the mansion today? The shopkeeper Wang came here a few days ago and recommended a young talent to County Magistrate Liu. Recently, he happened to let County Magistrate Liu see...
…”
After Butler Zhao walked closer and chatted with Butler Wei for a while, Butler Wei just glanced at Yang Rui and ignored Yang Rui. He led Butler Zhao and Yang Rui to the depths of the inner mansion, so that Yang Rui, who had always wanted to "express", never even found a chance!
The two housekeepers were not old enough to go all the way, and they were naturally not too slow. After many twists and turns, the two finally took Yang Rui to the study room of the county magistrate's mansion. After the housekeeper Wei went in and informed him, he took Yang Rui in.
"Sir, this person is the talented man mentioned by Yipinxiang last time. My subordinates will take his leave first!"
Butler Wei introduced Yang Rui lightly, then leaned over and retreated. County Magistrate Liu was always focused on the books on the table, as if he had never heard Butler Wei's words from beginning to end, and did not notice Yang Rui's appearance!
Concentrating on handling official duties? It’s not reliable! Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and decided to interrupt the county magistrate directly.
Although Yang Rui had a rough sense of this Liu County Magistrate through the introduction of Mr. Zhao along the way, he initially judged that the county magistrate's current expression might be pretending, and it might not be good to interrupt directly. But since he was pretending, he must be very tired. Breaking the current situation earlier will save the energy of the county magistrate, right?
"Grassin Lieyang pays homage to Liu County Magistrate!" Yang Rui bowed and said word by word.
The reason why Yang Rui slowed down was that he didn't want to be cold. What if County Magistrate Liu didn't accept the signal? Yang Rui could have room for a few more words!
Sure enough, County Magistrate Liu was still reading the book seriously without any reaction!
"The grass people are unrespectful to me, and they brought some gadgets to the adults. I wonder if the county magistrate likes it?" Seeing this, Yang Rui had to take out one of the items in his backpack and hold it in his hand. It was the 9th-grade white wolf skin I prepared last time.
County Magistrate Liu did react a little, and glanced at Yang Rui's position slightly, then nodded slightly and signaled, which was the first time he said hello to Yang Rui.
"Sir, this 9th-grade white wolf skin was obtained by grass people by chance. I hope you can like it."
