However, after arriving at the county seat, Gu Jinli realized that the person who cried the most was not the village chief He, but the groups of people who came from all directions to see Magistrate Xu off.

Throughout the county, a large area was filled with people, all crying and shouting: "Xu County Magistrate, don't leave, stay!"

Gu Jinli was stunned. It was the first time he discovered that there were so many people in Tianfu County.

Coming even more confused.

An old farmer with a cane and a head of white hair came out shakily, and slowly knelt down in front of Magistrate Xu, trembling as he knelt down. Gu Jinli's heart trembled when he saw it, for fear of his Old Bones couldn't bear it any longer and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the old man's bones were very strong and he knelt down without any problems.

Magistrate Xu saw this and hurriedly went up to help the old farmer up: "Old man, please get up quickly. I am no longer the magistrate of Tianfu County. You don't have to kneel to me."

The old farmer shouted: "Although you are no longer the magistrate of Tianfu County, you are our reborn parents! For our sake, you got rid of the cancer of Zou Wangba and avenged the grievances of the men who were sold by Zou Wangba. You have compensated our farmers so that we can live! We have also arrested all the gangsters in the county so that our girls will no longer be plotted by these gangsters and can get married safely. You are a good official, it is us Reborn parents!”

He was yelling the whole time, spitting all over County Magistrate Xu's face, and almost deafening him.

But perhaps the county magistrate did not dare to object because Zou Jiang whispered from the side: "Sir, he is deaf and can only hear what he is shouting."

County Magistrate Xu: "..."

No need to yell, I can hear you if you speak normally.

But can he say this? No, I can only say in a good voice: "The old man's words are serious, get up quickly."

However, the old farmer shouted: "I can't afford it!"

In the distance, Gu Jinli, Xiao Ji, and Grandma Tao were laughing loudly while sitting in the mule cart. Grandpa, you are quite stubborn.

The old farmer said again: "The common people are here to give you gifts!"

After saying that, he pointed behind him and shouted: "Bring up the gift!"

"Hey, here we come!" Three men in red clothes came out carrying a big umbrella, followed by a suona player and a gong player on the left and right, who came over carrying a big umbrella.

Magistrate Xu was stunned when he saw this posture. He pointed at these people and asked, "What are you doing?"

Unfortunately, the sound of the suona and the gong were too loud, and the old man was hard of hearing, so he couldn't hear what he said clearly. He just let the few people blow hard, and the three carrying the big umbrella even jumped up.

County Magistrate Xu: "..."

Is it over yet? It's just an umbrella, does it need to be presented like a funeral? !

Xu Dexian silently tugged on his father's sleeve and signaled to his father to hold back and not to get angry.

Magistrate Xu was very tolerant. He put in all the hard work he had put in to endure Zou Youlian for many years, and he finally endured it until the suona finished playing and the big umbrella was carried in front of him.

With a few thump thumps, the people carrying the umbrellas knelt down and said to Magistrate Xu: "Sir, this is an umbrella given to you by the people of Tianfu County. It is called the Wanmin Umbrella. It is said that officials have such an umbrella." An umbrella can protect you from wind and rain and protect your official career, so we will give it to you."

He added: "But we farmers are illiterate. Only a hundred or so of them signed their names, and the rest were fingerprinted. There are a total of ten thousand fingerprints. You can count them. I won't lie to you."

As he said that, the three umbrella bearers stood up, and with a loud bang, they worked together to open the Wanmin umbrella. There were many red handprints densely printed on it. It was dazzling to see, but it made County Magistrate Xu's eyes red, and he choked and said: "What are you doing?" Shall I give you an umbrella as a gift?"

Since the founding of Da Chu, no more than five officials have been able to receive the Umbrella of the People, and those five have all become senior officials after entering Beijing, and they are high-ranking officials in Da Chu who have been recorded in the history.

He never imagined that he would receive the Ten Thousand People Umbrella.

It was unreal, so unreal that he couldn't help but ask: "Is it the wrong delivery?"

Zou Jiang rolled his eyes in his heart. County Magistrate Xu did not disappoint him. He was so stupid.

The men who delivered the umbrellas laughed and said, "Of course you are right. We have been preparing this umbrella for a month to give it to Mr. Xu Chongfeng. You are a good official."

You are a good official.

When County Magistrate Xu heard this, he couldn't help crying anymore: "I'm not, I'm sorry for you, you should have beaten me, but you still gave me an umbrella... wu wu wu..."

move!

Zou Jiang couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Damn it, why are you crying? Is this the time to cry?"

With his hands covered by his sleeves, he pinched Magistrate Xu hard and whispered, "Hurry up and say a few touching words."

Magistrate Xu was pinched until he burped, but he was so moved that he just wanted to cry. He couldn't find anything touching to say, and Zou Jiang was so anxious that he almost kicked him.

thump!

Magistrate Xu suddenly knelt down in front of the man delivering the umbrella.

When the people who came to see him off saw him, they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down in circles.

"Sir, please get up quickly. You are an official, how can you kneel to us?"

Magistrate Xu shook his head and said: "Xu came from a farmer's family. He also picked manure and planted fields since he was a child. Fortunately, he passed the exam and became an official for one of his parents... He didn't do it well, but he was able to win the favor of the villagers. Treating each other like this, Xu feels guilty, please accept Xu’s worship."

After saying this, he kowtowed cautiously to all the farmers.

The farmers who came to see him off also hurriedly kowtowed and returned the favor.

Waiter Xu was completely stunned when he saw this scene of officials and people worshiping each other. He has been in the palace for most of his life and has seen many big scenes, but none of them can compare with this scene.

Zou Jiang is quite satisfied with this. Not bad, not bad, with the Ten Thousand People Umbrella and the scene of officials and people worshiping each other, no one dared to assassinate Xu Chongfeng in the capital.

"Sir, get up." Zou Jiang helped County Magistrate Xu up.

After County Magistrate Xu stood up, he helped the kneeling old farmer up: "Please get up quickly."

After helping the old farmer up, he and Xu Dexian took the umbrella of the people and put it in the mule cart. They talked to the people of Tianfu County for a long time, and they had to leave until Xu Neishi urged them.

Magistrate Xu sat in the mule cart and kept waving to the people of Tianfu County. When no one could be seen, he lowered the curtain and continued crying, saying to Zou Jiang: "I want to be a good official."

Zou Jiang said perfunctorily: "Yes, you will definitely become a good official."

He then advised: "Sir, please stop crying. If you continue to cry, you will no longer be able to have these clothes."

Magistrate Xu ignored him and just wanted to cry. Zou Jiang couldn't stand the crying anymore and ran to sit in another mule cart.

The fact that Magistrate Xu came to Beijing with the Wanmin Umbrella really caused a sensation in the entire Chu State. Those who had suffered losses due to the water bandit case did not dare to send anyone to assassinate him again.

After County Magistrate Xu left, the people in Tianfu County talked about the Wanmin Umbrella for a few days, then put the matter aside and began to prepare for the New Year.

Qin Gu's Luotian family was also busy killing pigs to prepare for the New Year. Gu Jinli also bought more than three hundred pig legs and marinated them to make ham. After three years, ham will become Yanfulou's signature dish.

Gu Jinli was busy, planting medicinal materials and making convenient medicines step by step according to the plan.

Time flies by, faster than a white horse, and it will soon be three years later.

Magistrate Xu is a cute little boy and is reluctant to let him go. I hope he can survive until the end and not die in the capital. The male and female protagonists have finally grown up. Although the ending of this chapter is a bit lacking, they have tried their best. Next chapter, let’s start teasing!
