Traveling through ancient times to survive

"Uncle Wei, don't worry too much. We have a large human population, and there must be some gifted people who have already cultivated to the end. Even if ordinary people have poorer aptitude, if they practice harder, they will have no problem dealing with ordinary monsters. As for those giant monsters you are worried about, there may be people who can fight them."

Seeing that Uncle Wei was anxious, Li Heng still gave him a slight hint.

County Magistrate Wei was like a drowning man who had grabbed a life-saving straw. He grabbed Li Heng's shoulders tightly and said, "Xiao Heng, what did you say? Have you ever seen such a master? Or is the master hiding in your current village? Can you introduce him to Uncle Wei first?"

County Magistrate Wei guessed it right, and Li Heng didn't dare to agree: "Uncle Wei, I have to ask the expert about this matter first. If I act first and ask the expert later, it will be bad and anger him."

County Magistrate Wei responded and said, "I was so anxious that I panicked. I really need to ask for the advice of an expert first."

The major problem he was worried about had been solved, and County Magistrate Wei felt much more relaxed. He looked at the unloaded grain and asked, "Xiao Heng, is this grain you sent over the work of an expert?"

Li Heng did not refute. Although Zhao Qing and Zhao Lan did not mind having their credit taken away from them, Li Heng did not want Zhao Qing to be wronged. Moreover, with Zhao Decheng's character, if he really rose through the government ranks, the official environment in Lingnan would be polluted.

The county magistrate Wei immediately understood: "But yesterday a boy offered these two kinds of grain in his own name. What's going on?"

"Uncle Wei, that man is from our village, his name is Zhao Decheng, he probably wants to seize the credit and get an official position."

Li Heng revealed the truth with confidence. He did not reveal it on his own initiative. This was what Uncle Wei guessed he would ask. Who would dare to lie in front of the top leader of the county?

County Magistrate Wei frowned and said, "How dare you! You are trying to fool me! This person is so bold and reckless, he must be severely punished!"

Li Heng shook his head: "Don't do that yet!"

County Magistrate Wei was stunned. As expected of a man who had once won the third place in the imperial examination, his mind was quick. He immediately guessed the truth: "Is there something else going on?"

"He is the nephew of our village chief. The village chief's parents are particularly fond of him."

County Magistrate Wei was furious: "Your village chief wants to protect his relatives? How foolish! Isn't he afraid of offending the masters?"

County Magistrate Wei was heartbroken at first, and then a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. With such a patron saint in the village, anyone else would only respect him like a bodhisattva. How could someone take the initiative to offend such a strange person for a nephew with bad behavior? What was wrong with the people outside? He really couldn't understand.

"It's not the village chief's fault. The village chief doesn't know about this yet. One of the people who donated the grain is related to this person. Although he has long severed ties with this person's family, the blood relationship is there. The expert's opinion is to use this incident to kick his family out, but we can't watch people starve to death, so Uncle Wei, you have to pretend that you haven't discovered the truth. Find him a sinecure in the county for the time being, so that his family can survive even if they move out of the village."

"This kid is really lucky!" County Magistrate Wei was deeply envious, "Is the master his relative?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it is true." Li Heng also had a headache. If there was no such relationship, he could just expose Zhao Decheng and drive his family out of the village. Why would he have to go through so much trouble? He also had to worry about whether his family could survive.

"So if he gets into trouble in the government office, I have to let him go for the sake of the master? Isn't this a troublemaker?"

County Magistrate Wei also had a headache. If the boy was honest, it would be fine, but their government office could not afford to support an idle person.

But looking at the ugly things this person has done, you can tell that he is an ambitious person with no moral bottom line and a bad brain. This kind of idiot is the most destructive.

If he knew that he had a backer and that others couldn't do anything to him, why wouldn't he take advantage of the situation and interfere in all kinds of county affairs?

It would be fine if he was arrogant and domineering and bullied men and women, but I was afraid that he would make a mess of the county if he wanted to make progress. So how should I strike a balance so as not to offend the superiors and prevent this idiot from affecting the normal operation of the county?

As expected, everything has a price to pay. God sent him a master who had grain and could deal with sirens, but he also brought a troublesome fool with him.

"Uncle Wei, I will tell you the relationship of this man directly. You can decide for yourself how to treat him. The village chief of our village is the second son in the family. He is not valued by his parents. He was separated from his parents a few years ago because he was seriously injured. He is the son of the eldest son in the family and the only scholar in the family. The village chief's parents love him the most."

Li Heng first explained the relationship with the village chief, and then talked about Zhao Lan.

"He also has a younger sister who was also the one who took out the grain seeds. However, his younger sister is not the same kind of person as him. She was bullied since she was a child and was separated from them more than a year ago. Since then, she has hardly interacted with them."

Finally, it was the most important Zhao Qing’s turn.

"And the one who can deal with the sea monster is the daughter of the village chief, who is also his cousin. The master is even more indifferent to their family. However, this person's grandparents are the village chief's biological parents after all. If we directly drive this person's family out, it will not be appropriate for his grandparents to have no way to survive."

County Magistrate Wei figured out the relationship, and his first reaction was that the expert who could deal with the sea monster was actually a girl? It was not that he looked down on girls, but according to people's common thinking, girls would not be allowed to practice martial arts.

County Magistrate Wei looked suspicious. Li Heng could no longer hold back. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Uncle Wei, don't look down on our boss. If she attacks with all her strength, the entire county will be wiped out in less than a cup of tea!"

This is still his conservative statement. With Xiaolu's current ability, it won't take that long to devour the entire county, and now there is also a golden eagle that can control the wind!

"Are you really that powerful? You even recognized someone as your boss? Not bad! You are getting better and better! If I could find someone suitable to replace me, I would move to your village. It should be the safest place in the world!"

County Magistrate Wei did not care. His eyes were red with envy. Thinking of a possibility, County Magistrate Wei looked at Li Heng with longing eyes and spoke shamelessly.

"I can't go, but does your village still accept some outsiders? For example, my wife, don't worry, my wife is well-educated and well-mannered, and the children are smart and well-behaved, they will never cause trouble to your village."

"Uncle Wei, it's not my turn to speak about this matter!" Li Heng looked embarrassed.

Magistrate Wei was very disappointed.

"But I can ask for you."

Magistrate Wei became happy again.

"Then Uncle Wei, I'll leave it to you!"
