After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 461: It's Really Rooted

……

There are many "smart people" like General Manager Yan.

The next day, as soon as the yamen opened, several waves of people came out at the same time. When they met each other's eyes, they were all shocked and ran to the yamen, fearing that if they were a step late, their family would lose a mountain of gold.

"Zong'er, hurry up and stop them. We can't let them snatch away our family's only chance to turn things around." Wu Laoer shouted.

Wu Xingzong was as stupid as a bull. He rushed over immediately, knocked down one person, and then grabbed two more people with his left and right hands. In the blink of an eye, he killed three waves of people by himself.

"Well done, Zong'er. You are worthy of being the eldest grandson of our family!"

Hearing Wu Laoer's flattery, Wu Xingzong became very proud. He jumped up and knocked down another man and a woman.

With a crisp click, the old man's arm was injured.

"Ahhh, hand, hand, my hand is broken, it hurts so much!" Instigated by his lover's widow, Mr. Tang rushed to buy the mountain with his lover early in the morning. However, he was knocked down before entering the yamen and unfortunately broke his hand.

"Ah, Master, what's wrong with you?" Widow Mei cried out, and immediately rushed to Master Tang, pointing at Wu Xingzong and saying, "Whose barbarian family are you from? How dare you hurt someone for no reason? Do you know who you hurt? This is Master Tang, the owner of the largest cloth shop in our county... You have to pay compensation, otherwise we will sue you in the government office."

I have to say that Widow Mei is quite capable. Even when she is angry and cursing, she does so with a pinched voice. In this Northeastern state where people rely on shouting, her way of speaking sounds quite like the soft Jiangnan dialect.

Hearing that Mr. Tang had stopped complaining about her, he comforted her distressedly: "Mei'er, don't cry..."

Wu Xingzong took advantage of the two of them being so pretentious and ran away, but unfortunately he ran into the clerk who said, "There is more than enough."

"Yes." Youyu kicked Wu Xingzong to the ground, then grabbed his arm and twisted it, and Wu Xingzong was taken down.

"Guard, guard the clerk!" Wu Xingzong was shocked. Why did he run into this cold-faced god again? Where on earth was he doing his job? Why did he meet him in Taifeng Town and even in the county government?

He then hurriedly protested: "Guan Shuli, I just bumped into them accidentally, I didn't hurt him at all... His arm was broken a long time ago, and he deliberately tried to scam me!"

The clerk only said, "Bring him to the government office and we will make a fair judgment."

"Guan Shuli, leave it to us." The gatekeeper came over and stuffed the cloth ball he was carrying into Wu Xingzong's mouth to stop him from shouting, then escorted him into the yamen.

"Mmmm!" Wu Xingzong shouted, but it was useless.

Mr. Tang was very pleased with himself when he saw this. He thought the government was on his side and started to push his luck. He came over to the clerk and said, "Clerk, my family wants to buy two mountains. Please help me to write the deed."

Guan Shuli's face darkened, and he looked at the people who kept running towards the yamen, and laughed angrily... They were all like evil spirits, only caring about their own gluttony and not caring about the lives of others.

Fortunately, Brother Qin reminded him and fortunately, he rushed to the government office overnight to report the ban on buying mountains, otherwise, who knows how many mountains would have been bought by these evil spirits today.

The clerk ignored Mr. Tang and walked towards the yamen.

Being ignored, Master Tang was furious: "Guan Shuli, did you hear me? You are a clerk in the government office, and issuing the deed is your responsibility. How can you ignore me?!"

Widow Mei was afraid that she would lose the mountain that Master Tang promised her, so she immediately helped Master Tang to chase after him, saying in a hooked voice: "Master, you are the owner of the largest cloth shop in our county, and this little clerk is like this... Mei'er feels sorry for you, Master."

With such flattery, Master Tang felt that he was very capable again, and immediately promised: "Mei'er, come with me to see the county magistrate. I will buy the mountain for you today!"

Widow Mei was overjoyed after hearing this, and began to flatter him: "Oh, the master is actually familiar with the county magistrate. He is worthy of being the owner of the largest cloth shop in the county. Mei'er must have accumulated a lot of merits in her previous life to be able to meet the master in this life..."

Mr. Tang was so pleased with the boast that he forgot the pain in his arm. He held his head high and chest puffed out, looking as heroic as a rooster, and walked into the yamen with Widow Mei.

But after taking a few steps, he was so scared that he almost ran out.

Bang bang bang!

The yamen runners beat Wu Er and his wife with sticks and cursed, "I've already told you that the yamen will temporarily stop the sale of the mountain. Don't you understand what I'm saying? You still want to rush in, and you dare to say that we are lying and that we stopped you just to help other people buy the mountain!"

"Sir, please calm down. We know we were wrong. Please stop fighting!" Wu Er ran away with his head in his hands, begging for mercy.

Seeing this, the other groups of people did not dare to rush forward. After seeing the clerk, some people who knew him came over and asked, "Clerk, has the government really stopped buying mountains?" The clerk glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, the document was written yesterday and will be sent to each town this morning. It is in accordance with the law."

He read the relevant criminal laws again.

After hearing this, several waves of people who came to buy the mountain were all sighing... Just one day left! If they had come to buy yesterday morning, they would have made a lot of money.

After all, the price of the mountain is cheap. You only need to spend about 100 taels of silver to buy about 200 acres of mountain land.

From then on, they only need to guard the mountain pass, collect money from the villagers who go into the mountains to dig medicinal herbs, and then take a commission from the herbs they dig. They can get two incomes, and this income will never end!

Now, it's all gone.

The clerk said, "If you don't believe me, just wait a moment. The government office will soon post a notice prohibiting the purchase of the mountain."

After that, he ignored them and told the yamen runners, "Wu Xingzong of the Wu family injured Mr. Tang from the cloth shop. The yamen needs to make a ruling. You should keep an eye on the Wu family members present and don't let any of them escape."

"Yes." The bailiffs responded.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu were shocked.

Wu Er's wife was furious. How come Wu Xingzong got into trouble just after they separated for a while? This idiot is really incompetent!

"Mmmm!" Wu Xingzong shouted at Wu Er and his wife, asking them to help him.

Unfortunately, Wu's second wife had long wanted to kill him and take over everything in the Wu family. She wished he would die in the yamen, so there was no way she would help him.

……

Dangdang Dangdang!

A new notice was posted on the notice board at the gate of the government office. Zhou Bantou shouted, "According to Wei law, the county has ordered that from now on, the sale of mountain land in the entire county will be prohibited for a period of one year!!"

As soon as the notice came out, the county town was in an uproar.

Some wealthy families were extremely angry and secretly cursed County Magistrate Kang for cutting off their source of income.

But most of the villagers cried with joy: "The county magistrate is so kind, he saved the lives of us poor people!"

If there was no such notice, even if they learned to identify medicinal herbs, they would have no mountains to dig them.

"Hey, the government office is pretty quick to issue the notice so early." As Uncle Qin arrived at the gate of the government office, he saw many people gathered around the notice and felt relieved.

"Brother Qin, you are here." The clerk Guan saw the Qin family and came over to greet them, "It's almost time, follow me in."

"Hey." Grandpa Qin dragged away Uncle Qin who wanted to watch the fun, and took Jiang Dalang and Qin Cunquan with him, and followed the clerk into the yamen.

Not long after, other clerks who came to the yamen to do registration also arrived.

Grandpa Qin looked outside from the hut and counted the people. There were only twelve.

There were more than a hundred candidates, but only twelve were selected, which was more difficult than taking the county exam.

Grandpa Qin was extremely grateful and thankful to Guan Shuli.

……

After more than half an hour, Qin Cunquan and his men returned, carrying two wooden hats with the Chinese character "隶" embroidered on them, a thick paper certificate, and an iron scribe card. They happily handed them forward and said, "Fifth Uncle, A Zhuang, Da Lang, look quickly."

Uncle Qin was disgusted: "What's so good about it?"

Bang! Grandpa Qin slapped me on the back of my head.

Grandpa Qin fondly stroked these things that showed his status as a clerk, and said with deep emotion: "A Quan has made great progress... We have finally taken root."
