Chapter 10 Rui'er is very powerful
Early the next morning, Chen Chu took Zhang Liao and his brothers to meet the Li family caravan.
The contemporary head of the Li family caravan is Li Tai. He is less than thirty years old, but he is smart and capable. The Li family was not a big merchant at first, but it was because of Li Tai's unremitting efforts over the past few years that the Li family became a big merchant who could go alongside the old merchants.
Li Tai was very polite to Chen Chu and the other two, and specially prepared a carriage for them. Li Tai was like this because of Wei Du's face, and the other half was to make friends with Chen Chu. Chen Chu is now the magistrate of Leping County. Although his official position is not very high, he can take care of everything in Leping County. The Li family has frequent business dealings with the north, and Leping is an important transit hub. Therefore, the Li family of course has to establish a good relationship with Chen Chu, the new county magistrate.
"Brother, you're so good!" In the carriage, Zhang Rui blinked her shiny starry eyes and stared at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu smiled and said, "Why did Rui'er say that!"
"The boss Li Rui'er outside knows him. He is usually arrogant and arrogant! But he is extremely humble in front of his elder brother!"
Chen Chu couldn't help frowning and asked, "Rui'er, tell your brother, did that boss Li bully you?" Chen Chu was thinking in his heart that if boss Li was sad about Zhang Liao's brother and sister, he would never give up and he had to let Li Tai apologize to Zhang Liao's brother and sister.
Zhang Rui raised her chin proudly, "Hmph, he can't bully us! That day, several of his servants went to Wuyi Lane to show off their power, but my brother beat him away with three punches and two kicks! After that, they would never dare to come to Wuyi Lane again!" After a pause, Zhang Rui looked at Chen Chu and continued, "Actually, Rui'er is also very powerful! If Rui'er hadn't been sick, Rui'er could have beaten them away!" Her tone was like a child offering treasures.
Zhang Liao, who was standing by, felt a little ashamed. After all, in his concept, it is really not something worth showing off when a girl fights well.
"Okay Rui'er, the girl's house is not afraid of being laughed at by her elder brother!"
Zhang Rui pouted in dissatisfaction, but she did not dare to talk back to Zhang Liao.
"Haha, Wenyuan, don't blame Rui'er. It's not necessarily a bad thing for women to love martial arts! This is at least much better than those women who relies on singing and dancing to please men!"
Zhang Rui suddenly felt energetic and said happily: "It's better for Brother Rui'er!" As he said that, he looked at Zhang Liao with a look of grievance.
At this time, Zhang Liao was really amused and laughed, shaking his head and sighing.
"Brother, you will spoil Rui'er!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter, as long as Rui'er can be happy. Don't you think so, Wen Yuan?"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a while before saying, "Brother is right!"
"By the way, Rui'er, from what you mean, it seems that your martial arts are very good?" Chen Chu asked curiously.
"Of course! Rui'er is so amazing!" When talking about this, Zhang Rui was like a proud swan.
"How powerful is Rui'er?" Chen Chu said with a smile.
This problem really stumped Zhang Rui. Although she had taught many lessons to local gangsters when she was in her hometown, she thought that this kind of record was not very good, and it would make her brother underestimate her if she said it.
While thinking, Zhang Rui happened to see Zhang Liao who was smiling aside. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, so he pointed at Zhang Liao and said, "My brother is very powerful! I am a little worse than my brother!"
Chen Chu was surprised at a loss. Zhang Liao was one of the most powerful generals in the Three Kingdoms period! Zhang Rui was only a little worse than him, which was really unimaginable!
Chen Chu then thought: Could it be that Rui'er is bragging!
So he turned around and looked at Zhang Liao with inquiring eyes. He saw that Zhang Liao nodded solemnly.
Chen Chu took a deep breath. He was so happy. ‘I didn’t expect that his Luoyang team would get two generals from other places. But he would not let Zhang Rui lead the army to the battlefield. There is a more important position waiting for her, that is, the position of guard commander.’ Chen Chu thought to himself a little lewdly.
Along the way, the three of them were talking and laughing, but they didn't feel bored. The lively Zhang Rui immersed the three of them in laughter. However, the scene along the way made Chen Chu feel very heavy. There were more refugees along the official road than a month ago. Thinking that there was less than a year left to face the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Chu couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Fortunately, this trip to Luoyang recruited Zhang Liao, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, otherwise Chen Chu really didn't know how to face the chaos a year later!
I have to pull my team up as soon as possible! Chen Chu thought so.
After about half a month of bumpy journey, I finally returned to Leping City, which was a month and a half away.
I wonder how things are going on with Mr. Deng? Chen Chu was a little worried and expectant.
Outside the Yuelai Inn, Chen Chu and Li Tai broke up after a long time of politeness. When they broke up, Li Tai sincerely invited Chen Chu to have a gathering at night. He was going to make friends with Chen Chu. Chen Chu could not disobey the other party's kindness, so he agreed.
After breaking up with Li Tai and his group, Chen Chu brought Zhang Liao and his brothers to his residence in Leping County, which was the small yard that the guards lent him.
Before I reached the door, I saw a young man squatting at the campus gate from afar. I felt a little familiar with this person, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
The three of them walked straight over, and the man also saw Chen Chu and the other two.
"Master, you are back!" The man greeted him with joy and excitement.
Chen Chu looked at this face with some impression and said uncertainly: "Are you a mistress?"
The young man nodded excitedly, "Yes, I am the mistress. I didn't expect that the lord would remember the villain!"
"Why are you here? Could it be that something happened in the village?" Chen Chu asked nervously.
The mistress quickly shook her hands and said, "No, Longhu Village is very good, better than ever!" When it comes to Longhu Village, the mistress looked a little excited.
"Oh." Chen Chu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that there was a problem in Longhu Village, which was his forward base. If something went wrong, Chen Chu would even wiping his neck.
"Then are you doing something?"
The mistress slapped her head, "Oh! Lord, you see, the little one is excited and forget the serious matter! Mr. Deng wants to stay in front of his lord's house for the time being, and he will have to decide many things!"
Chen Chu nodded, then turned to Zhang Liao's brother and sister beside him and said, "I'll go to the county government to make a payment first. Wen Yuan and Rui'er will go back to Longhu Village with this mistress."
"Brother, I'll go to the county government with you."
Chen Chu thought about it and thought it would be better to bring Zhang Liao with him. If the Qin County Magistrate deliberately made things difficult, he would have a helper. So he nodded, "Okay, Wenyuan will go to the county government with me."
"Miss San, this is Rui'er, it's your lady. Take the lady back to Longhu Village first." Chen Chu pulled Zhang Rui to his side and told the mistress.
The little girl quickly bowed to Zhang Rui and said, "I have seen the lady."
Zhang Rui burst into laughter. The scene in front of her was still very new to her.
"Little sister, my brother and I go to do something, don't be willful!" Zhang Liao said to Zhang Rui with a stern face.
Zhang Rui pouted and shook Chen Chu's arm, saying coquettishly: "Brother, look at my brother, he taught me a lesson again! How could he be willful!"
Chen Chu laughed, "Okay, Rui'er, stop making trouble, listen to your brother."
"Okay okay, Rui'er understands, don't worry, go do your business."
Chen Chu and Zhang Liao quickly arrived at the county government office.
Like before, the yamen runners guarding the gate stopped them. However, this time Chen Chu did not ask the yamen runners to report, but instead presented the order with seals. The yamen runners knelt down immediately and did not dare to stop Chen Chu and the other two again.
When I arrived at the lobby, the Qin County Magistrate happened to be there.
When Qin County Magistrate was surprised to see the two people who suddenly appeared in the lobby, because the yamen runners did not report it. Qin County Magistrate recognized Chen Chu and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Chen here?"
Chen Chu smiled and said, "I won't go to the Sanbao Hall for nothing. County Magistrate Qin, this is my transfer order." As he said that, he handed over the transfer order.
The magistrate of Qin was not surprised at all. After receiving the transfer order, he only took a look and handed it back to Chen Chu. Then he said, "I also thought that someone would come to take over the location of Leping County recently, but I didn't expect it would be Mr. Chen."
"If there is no problem, let's get the deal."
The Qin County Magistrate nodded, "Of course." Then he said to a small official beside him: "Go and bring the account books of our county, and I want to hand it over to this new master."
The little official trotted away all the way. After a while, he ran back with a stack of bamboo slips.
The Qin County Magistrate signaled the minor official to put the bamboo slips in front of Chen Chu, and then said, "Young Master Chen, no, you should call you Lord Chen now. These are the various account books of this county, please take a look."
Chen Chu nodded and sat on the ground and flipped through it. Zhang Liao stood behind Chen Chu with a serious expression.
Chen Chu didn't care at first, but the more he looked, the more popular he became. Not to mention anything else, just one hundred gold and five thousand kilograms of grain were just one, the whole county had only one hundred gold and five thousand kilograms of grain.
Chen Chu suddenly slapped the bamboo slips on the ground, "Master Qin County, why does the warehouse in this county have only one hundred gold and five thousand kilograms of grain? Are you fooling me?"
Chapter completed!
