Huo Yunchao followed his servants to Magistrate Chen's study, saluted and said, "Greetings, your lord."

County Magistrate Chen walked out of his desk and looked at Huo Yunchao's situation carefully: "Yunchao, are you injured? Where are your wife, children, and your father Xu? How are they?"

Huo Yunchao lowered his head and replied: "As far as I'm concerned, my family is safe and sound. Thank you for your concern."

County Magistrate Chen could hear the resentment in Huo Yunchao's heart, and sighed: "Yunchao, this is the way the world is. Good people don't live long and disasters live for thousands of years. The vast majority of people who are neither good nor bad are caught in the middle and become a big doormat." Wrongful seed."

Born in a top-notch family, County Magistrate Chen has a deep friendship with the current emperor. He has seen and participated in the struggle at the top of power, and he can live and work contentedly in this poor and backward county government.

He knows that it is not easy for the people at the bottom to survive, and he also knows that the people at the top are greedy, the world is too bad, and human nature is too bad. He is too self-centered to fight for power and gain against his own heart, so he chooses to escape.

Seeing that Huo Yunchao was unmoved, County Magistrate Chen took the initiative to talk about his journey of coming to this place to be a sesame official.

When Huo Yunchao first listened to County Magistrate Chen's words, the first thought that came to his mind was: The rich second generation had too many things and could not easily be satisfied and gain happiness like ordinary people, so they went to the countryside to show off their stuff.

When County Magistrate Chen said: "Yun Chao, when I confirmed that you had discovered a new grain species with an yield of ten shi per mu, I once thought about suppressing the news."

Huo Yunchao looked at County Magistrate Chen with burning eyes: "Sir, why did you change your mind?"

"because of you."

"what?"

County Magistrate Chen repeated: "You heard me right, I let you go because of you."

Abandoning retirement life and taking on this troublesome matter that is destined to cause chaos in the world. "

Huo Yunchao couldn't guess what Magistrate Chen was thinking, so he asked directly: "Why?"

Magistrate Chen's eyes were full of nostalgia: "I see myself in you when I was young. When I was young, I was very proud and wanted to prove that I could achieve a career without relying on family power. However, the situation is stronger than the person. I Being in a cage, there is nowhere to express my ambitions, and no matter how much the bird in the cage flutters, it is just a joke. So, in order to escape the environment that suffocated me, I did not hesitate to abandon everything and come here."

Huo Yunchao's eyes deepened.

Seeing Huo Yunchao's silence, County Magistrate Chen smiled and continued: "Facts have proved that even if I travel to the ends of the world, I am still the innocent boy who wants to do something to prove his strength. So I regained my dream. , I want to use your ability to realize the lofty ambitions of my youth and fight side by side with you." A man is a boy until he dies.

Huo Yunchao looked at County Magistrate Chen. After a moment, he took a deep breath: "Sir, to tell you the truth, when I realized that my wife, children, and children would be killed by gangsters, I regretted planting sweet potatoes with great fanfare. I asked me Two dads, did I do something wrong? They told me very firmly that I was right, and that the whole world would thank me. However, my wife and children were almost killed by the gangsters. I couldn't To bear such a result, if my wife and children were gone, I would not live alone.”

He paused, tried his best to push back the tears, and continued: "Sir, I am different from you. I don't have as lofty ideals and ambitions as you.

Everything I do is to give my family a good life. "

County Magistrate Chen noticed Huo Yunchao's flash of tears, held his shoulders tightly and said, "Yunchao, I understand, I understand everything. As the old saying goes, people in warehouses know etiquette from the truth. I am not as ignorant as you think. Cannibalistic fireworks, I have seen the peak of power, and I have also seen homeless poor people. Yun Chao, you have to remember this sentence, the deeds do not matter the heart. No one will really care about what you are pursuing. , it only depends on what you do in the process of pursuing it.”

Huo Yunchao lowered his head and said nothing.

Magistrate Chen continued: "Yun Chao, I will send more people to protect you and your family. I promise you that nothing like this will happen again! I promise you this as the heir of the Chen family!"

Huo Yunchao didn't answer but asked: "Sir, after the sweet potatoes are planted, will you be transferred back to the capital?"

County Magistrate Chen was startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I am going back to the capital. I can't do it if I don't go back. I'm far away from the emperor, and I have to wait more than a month to receive a reply when I write a letter to the family. . I can’t do it here, but I promise you that the next county magistrate will fully assist you and there will definitely be no complaints.”

"Thank you, sir!" Huo Yunchao bowed respectfully to County Magistrate Chen.

County Magistrate Chen accepted the bow firmly and said, "Yun Chao, don't be afraid."

Magistrate Chen had just said so many words of comfort to Huo Yunchao, but this was the only one that really touched the depths of Huo Yunchao's heart, making him break his guard and shed tears on the spot.

County Magistrate Chen was startled at first and then smiled: "I heard that you almost chopped the criminal into pieces. You did not run away from the battle, but risked your life to protect your wife and children. This is

What a man does. "

Huo Yunchao said with a nasal voice: "Ning Niang was afraid that I would really become a murderer, so she held her stomach and cried out in pain before waking me up. Sir, I am not as good as you said."

County Magistrate Chen smiled more genuinely: "No, Yun Chao, you have done the best you can."

He knew that he had finally entered Huo Yunchao's heart and became someone that Huo Yunchao truly trusted.

After calming Huo Yunchao's mood, County Magistrate Chen told Huo Yunchao how to deal with the three gangsters: "Yunchao, it's hard to find out the details of these three gangsters. Even if I use my family's power to follow them, at least three It will take five months to get results. The mastermind behind the scenes is deeply hidden, and there is no key evidence. I'm afraid the matter will go unsolved. You have to be mentally prepared. But I can assure you that these three villains will be killed or beheaded. You decide."

Huo Yunchao bowed again: "Thank you, sir! I have a heartfelt request. If you find out who is behind the scenes, please let me know. I have a wife and children to take care of, and I will not throw an egg against a stone, but the hatred of death is irreconcilable!"

"Okay, I promise you." County Magistrate Chen agreed to Huo Yunchao's request. He could probably guess that the force was behind it, but he had no evidence and didn't want to tell Huo Yunchao at this juncture.

If Huo Yunchao, a mere commoner, wants to confront such forces head-on, it would be like shaking a big tree with a worm.

After dealing with the affairs of the three gangsters, Huo Yunchao came out of the county government office. Instead of being relaxed, he became even more tense.

Butcher Xu came forward and asked with concern: "Chao'er, how is the matter handled? What did the county magistrate say?"

"Dad Xu, the county magistrate said he would seek justice for us!" Huo Yunchao said.

He went into too much detail and only gave a simple reply.

Butcher Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, that's fine. Let's go home. Don't let Ning Niang worry."

Huo Yunchao said, "Dad Xu, let's go pick out two pieces of cloth? After Ning Niang gives birth, she will have new clothes to wear, and the baby will also have clean diapers."

Butcher Xu smiled and said, "Chao'er, you are still thoughtful. Let's go and buy some cloth for Ning Niang and Fu Baby."
