"Climbing this mountain is Tanyang County." Lao Tao shrank his shoulders, lowered his head and peeled the oranges, and said casually.

Tao Mo couldn't help lifting the curtain.

The cold wind in winter immediately blew in, and the silver outside was covered with silver and could not see anything. Hao Guozi, who was driving the car, turned around and said, "What are the instructions for the young master?"

"Nothing." Tao Mo shivered from the cold and quickly put the curtain down.

Lao Tao handed him the peeled oranges.

After being kept for a long time, the oranges were a little dry, but they were sweet when eaten. After eating a few Tao Mo, they stuffed the rest into Lao Tao's hands.

Lao Tao was not polite either, and ate it clean in one bite.

Tao Mo subconsciously touched the incense towel in his arms and wiped his mouth, but as soon as his hand reached into his arms, he remembered that the incense towel had been thrown into the stove and burned. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He lingered in Qunxianglou for so many years, but he had to commemorate this incense towel, but he didn't expect that it was still left in the end.

"Young Master, is it cold?" Old Tao moved the stove forward.

"It's not cold." Tao Mo was in a depressed mood. After sitting for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard that there are many wealthy families in Tanyang County, so I'm afraid it's hard to get along with each other."

Lao Tao said: "People are good and deceived. If the young master is afraid of them, they will naturally bully them."

"Why am I afraid of them?" Tao Mo's voice increased slightly, "I must be a good official!"

Lao Tao finally burst into a few rays of light under his sleepy eyes, "Young Master will definitely be able to do it."

Tao Mo seemed to have seen himself become "Tao Qingtian" and be welcomed by the people, and suddenly felt that his future was bright.

The carriage suddenly shook.

Tao Mo suddenly hit the back of the head and fell into the corner of the car with his body half tilted.

Because Lao Tao sat opposite him, his condition was slightly better. At the critical moment, he supported the wall of the car with both hands, not as embarrassed as him.

Hao Guozi lifted up the curtain, leaned in, and said with a sad face: "The wheel is broken."

The wind blows fiercely.

Tao Mo shrank his neck hard, trying to retract his head into the collar.

"Fortunately, it's not far from Tanyang County, so let's go." Lao Tao said to Hao Guozi, "Unload the horse with the camel luggage. Wait for the young master to enter the county government and send someone to pick it up."

Tao Mo had no choice but to get out of the car.

Hao Guozi said, "I wonder if the previous county magistrate has left. If we don't leave, we will probably have no place to live."

Lao Tao said: "I've inquired. The previous county magistrate died of illness, and his family had already taken him back to his hometown."

Hao Guozi muttered, "This is even worse, there is no reminder."

Lao Tao said: "What's the rush? The county magistrate is not here, the county magistrate, chief clerk and dictionary general are there. Perhaps there are also masters, these people are much more worldly-wise than the county magistrate."

Hao Guozi stopped talking and unloaded her luggage neatly and tied it up right away.

Tao Mo stood by the road, his body trembling constantly.

Lao Tao took out the stove and asked him to carry it, "Warm a little bit."

Tao Mo barely stretched out two fingers from his sleeve and pinched them.

A group of three people and a horse set off on the road again.

The ice and snow melt slightly, and the feet are the most wet.

Hao Guozi fell three times in a row before finally finding out the trick.

Tao Mo was originally going to fall, but he was always supported by Lao Tao. Don’t look at his age, he was the one with the most steady steps among the three.

So slow, I rushed into the city before closing the door.

After walking in the unmanned forest for a long time, I suddenly encountered noisy voices, and the three of them felt like they were dreaming.

Hao Guozi wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "This place will be home from now on."

Lao Tao said: "It may not be a lifetime."

Hao Guozi widened his eyes and said, "Do you think the young master will be dismissed from office?"

"Bah." Old Tao quickly spitted on the ground, reached out and patted his head, and said unhappily: "Can't it be a promotion?"

Hao Guozi smiled dryly and walked forward.

Tao Mo and Lao Tao followed him from afar.

Perhaps because of popularity, Tao Mo's groggy head finally woke up a little.

Hao Guozi followed East Street and found the county government office all the way, knocking on the door and passing posts.

By the time Tao Mo arrived, the people inside had already come out.

"Guanwen said that the master will not arrive after the first month of the year, but he didn't expect it to arrive before the New Year. It was really a mistake." The man saw Tao Mo looking at him curiously and introduced himself, "I am the master of the former county magistrate Zhang Jingyuan. My surname is Jin. The master called me Master Jin."

Tao Mo called out honestly, "Master Jin."

Master Jin's eyes were like a torch, and he swayed around among the three of them, landing on Lao Tao.

Lao Tao said: "The villain came to guard the gate with his boss."

He said that he was modest, but Master Jin could see that this was the most difficult of these three people. He laughed and said, "The master has taken office thousands of miles away, so he should go into the house and talk. Please."

Seeing that he was polite, Lao Tao couldn't help but frown secretly when he saw that he was talking politely, but his eyebrows did not take Tao Mo seriously.

After entering the second hall, Master Jin suddenly stopped and led Tao Mo to the upper seat, and sat down with him.

Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao in confusion.

Lao Tao said: "Young Master has been walking for a whole day and is exhausted. Why doesn't the Master lead to the inner hall?"

Master Jin was so shocked that he bounced up and patted his forehead and said, "I am really confused. However, when the previous Lord Zhang died, he was always worried that he had failed to hand over the official seal with the newly appointed county master. Therefore, if the master could encourage and support him, please show the document before the presidency, so that I could hand over the official seal to the master and waive the heavy responsibility."

He holds a gun and a stick, and clearly gives no room for anyone.

Tao Mo had to take out the documents for him, followed him into the study room, and took the official seal. At this moment, he was a little overwhelmed, his body was chilling, and his teeth were trembling. He was afraid that Lao Tao and Hao Guozi would be worried, so he had to retreat aside and endure it secretly.

When Lao Tao saw Master Jin turning around and leaving, he hurriedly called out, "Master Jin, where are you going?"

Master Jin smiled and said, "My boss is Lord Zhang. Now that Lord Zhang has passed away, the things he has entrusted will be completed, so naturally there is no reason to leave it behind."

Lao Tao said: "Why did Master Jin say this? My young master took office and was the time to hire people."

"People die for money, birds die for food." Master Jin looked at Tao Mo and laughed, "The new master donated a county magistrate of 5,000 taels, which shows that he is rich and powerful, and he does not have to worry about the people who are seeking a fight. How can I use me? In my opinion, it is not easy to find a lawsuit in Tanyang County, but it is simple and not easy to find a lawyer or a master."

Old Tao was waiting for further advice, but Master Jin shook his sleeves and left.

Hao Guozi complained: "This man has such a big temper."

Old Tao looked at Tao Mo, as if he was blaming him for not saying a word at that time, but saw his lips turned purple and his eyes were dissipated. He was shocked and reached out to touch his forehead. It turned out to be hot. He hurriedly said to Hao Guozi: "Go, go and invite the doctor!"

Hao Guozi agreed and hurriedly ran out.

Lao Tao helped Tao Mo into the inner room.

They didn't bring much luggage, and they threw some away halfway. The last ones were valuable, but they were valuable but not cold.

Lao Tao had to search through the boxes and cabinets to find the old things left by a county master, and actually found two quilts. He quickly spread them on, asked Tao Mo to lie down, light the stove again, put it on the edge of the bed, and went to boil water himself.

When he came back from boiling water, there was no trace of Hao Guozi. He thought that he was a newcomer and was not familiar with the place and could not find the place. He also thought that Tao Mo had always been afraid of the coldest. In the past, he always curled up in the quilt and refused to come out in winter. This time, in order to be a good official, he insisted on taking office in advance. He couldn't help but feel relieved and sad.

He walked into the house with hot water, and heard Tao Mo calling out to the person on the bed in a daze.

When I got closer, I heard him call him "Dad".

The sound of footsteps came outside the door.

Hao Guozi led the doctor into the door.

Lao Tao stepped aside and waited for the doctor to take the pulse and prescribe the prescription, and wrote down the prescriptions he told him one by one.

When everything is busy, the sky has dimmed.

Since the former county magistrate took away most of the servants in the county government when his former county magistrate left, only two guardians were left. So Lao Tao could only ask Hao Guozi to buy some food outside to deal with it for one night. However, when I get up tomorrow, I will have too many things to be busy with.

Tao Mo sweated all night and woke up the next day and felt a little weak, but he was in good spirits, so he got up and put on his clothes to go out.

Hao Guozi was coming with hot water when he saw him get up and was surprised and said, "Young Master, why are you getting up?"

"I'm hungry." Tao Mo turned around and went into the house and washed slowly.

Hao Guozi said: "I bought firewood and rice this morning and was cooking porridge."

"The white porridge is not good." Tao Mo said subconsciously.

Hao Guozi narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I'll go to the restaurant in the city to find delicious food."

Tao Mo's face changed, and after a while, he whispered: "You can also get the white porridge."

Hao Guozi whispered: "I won't let Lao Tao know."

Tao Mo shook his head.

Hao Guozi sighed, picked up the basin, lowered his head and went out.

Tao Mo walked around the house and couldn't sit still. Just as the voices came from outside, he opened the door and walked towards the second hall.

The county government office is not big, and it is divided into three halls. One is to examine the case, two is to meet guests, and three is to stay in the house.

The guests came to the second hall at this time.

When the man saw Tao Mo, his eyes lit up and said, "But Lord Tao?"

Tao Mo nodded.

"The villain is the Dianshi of the county, Cui Jiong." He glanced at Tao Mo and smiled, "I originally thought about coming to pay my respects last night, but Master Jin said that he seemed to be tired and uncomfortable on the journey, so he had to change it until this morning. Do you not blame me, right?"

Tao Mo looked outside and said, "Did you come in by yourself?"

Cui Jiong was stunned.
