Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan looked at Zheng Shixian coldly and didn't rush to speak.

After Zheng Shixian finished laughing, he said with a look of disdain, "If you open a clinic in a refugee area, I'm afraid you won't even be able to make enough money to pay the head tax!"

"Sir Zheng, you don't have to worry about this. I will pay you the head tax every month. I have more than 50 people under me now. I dare to employ so many people, and I will definitely be able to earn this money." Gu Chan said stubbornly.

Zheng Shixian didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. He just looked at Shen Sanfeng and said, "Mr. Shen, the child is willful and ignorant. You must not spoil him, otherwise he will have to pay a large sum of money and need you to fill the hole for him!"

"Sir Zheng, my godson is a pretty good veterinarian. He opened this clinic because prices in the refugee area are cheap, and the way he makes money is different from what you think." Shen Sanfeng spoke well of Gu Chan.

Zheng Shixian was laughing so hard that he was staggering back and forth, but when he heard what Shen Sanfeng said, he immediately sat up straight and became serious.

Seeing Gu Chan's changed expression, he said seriously, "So you are a veterinarian. I really underestimated you. So, do me a favor and I will prepare the report for you."

"What help?" Gu Chan asked curiously.

"Come with me to the Liu Mansion and help me treat the mysterious beast raised by the Liu family. If you can cure it, I will report to you. If you can't, forget it." Zheng Shixian said.

Gu Chan was furious. "Master Zheng, this is wrong! You are the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City. I want to open a clinic and come to you to report. This is your duty as a county magistrate. Why are you threatening me?"

"I'm the county magistrate, I have the final say, stop talking nonsense in front of me. If you weren't the godson of Mr. Shen, I wouldn't bother talking to a kid like you." Zheng Shixian said nonchalantly.

Gu Chan put her hand on her forehead and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

From the very beginning, she knew that the county magistrate was a troublemaker, and today she finally saw it clearly.

Shen Sanfeng, however, sat aside and laughed, "That's enough, Lord Zheng is just teasing you! How could he, the magistrate of Zhongyuan City, make things difficult for a child like you? He just wants to take you to the Liu family to show off, which is a good thing for you."

"Godfather, what is the background of this Liu family?" Gu Chan asked.

Shen Sanfeng explained, "The old man of the Liu family is the former prime minister of Tiancang Country. He returned to Zhongyuan City after retiring. Tell me about the background of the Liu family."

"Oh! So that's how it is! I'm sorry, Lord Zheng, I misunderstood you." Gu Chan understood and pretended to be happy, clasping her fists and bowing to thank Zheng Shixian.

Zheng Shixian waved his hand indifferently, then immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

In fact, he had never thought of taking Gu Chan to the Liu family to show his face. He did this just because he wanted to please the Liu family.

Shen Sanfeng gave him face and spoke so nicely, so he just accepted it. This not only highlighted his magnanimity, but also was a kind of flattery to him, so of course he gladly accepted it.

It was because Gu Chan knew all this that she followed her godfather's lead and pretended to be like this.

Shen Sanfeng rolled his eyes at her before following Zheng Shixian and leaving.

After a while, the three of them left the county government office together and each rode their own carriage towards the Liu family.

The Liu family, like the county government, was located in the wealthy area in the eastern part of Zhongyuan City. It was not far from the county government, and soon two carriages stopped outside the huge Liu mansion.

Gu Chan got off the carriage and looked at the gate of the mansion in front of her. She couldn't help but whisper in Shen Sanfeng's ear, "Godfather, isn't Mr. Liu the former prime minister? How come his house is just a house like this! It's not impressive at all! This is not even half the size of your Shen family's Shen Mansion in Wuheng County!"

"Mr. Liu is a low-key person who doesn't like to show off. Moreover, he has been an official for many years and is incorruptible. He is a well-known good official in our Tiancang country. After he retired and returned to his hometown, he was also very good to the people of Zhongyuan City. Everyone respects him very much." Shen Sanfeng explained in a low voice.

"Hehe...if he was really that good to the people of Zhongyuan City, then there wouldn't be a place like the North District Refugee Zone in Zhongyuan City." Gu Chan laughed dryly and started to mock.

If the old man from the Liu family is really as good as Shen Sanfeng said, after he comes back, he will definitely find a way to improve the situation in the refugee area and will not let so many poor people suffer in the refugee area.

But the reality is that there are still many people in the refugee areas who do not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear.

This made Gu Chan feel doubtful and she didn't quite believe how good the old man from the Liu family was.

Shen Sanfeng reached out and patted her forehead, scolding her unhappily, "Be careful with your words, don't be disrespectful. This is not Wuheng County. I can definitely handle anything for you."

"Yes, godfather, I understand. I will pay attention to it." Gu Chan responded respectfully.

At this time, Zheng Shixian had sent his men to knock on the door, and the servant of Liu Mansion who was guarding the door immediately ran into the mansion.

Not long after, the Liu Mansion's housekeeper walked out from the gate.

Zheng Shixian walked up quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Old housekeeper, long time no see, I hope you are well! How is Mr. Liu?"

"Sir Zheng, I told you a long time ago that my master doesn't want to see you. Why are you still here?" The old butler said helplessly.

"Don't get me wrong, old butler. I'm not here to see the old man this time. I heard that the mysterious beast raised by Miss Liu was sick, so I specially found a veterinarian from the border to help her treat the mysterious beast." Zheng Shixian's mind worked quickly, and he immediately started to make indirect requests.

The old housekeeper sighed and said, "Okay, Master Zheng, I'll go in and inform the young lady. You wait outside for a while."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. You can take your time to report it." Zheng Shixian said shamelessly with a smile.

The old butler turned around and went into the mansion to report. He just stood at the door, waiting with a forced smile.

Gu Chan and the other person were standing aside, almost laughing out loud when they saw what was happening.

Just now when this bastard was in the county government office, he was still putting on airs in front of them! Now he came to the outside of Liu's house, and even when he saw a small housekeeper of the Liu family, he became so polite and shameless.

This shows that he really wanted to please the old man of the Liu family. It was a pity that the old man didn't want to see him at all, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to come and cause trouble.

Not long after, the old butler who went to report came out from the main door and said to Zheng Shixian, "Master Zheng, please come in! The young lady agreed to let you take the veterinarian to see her."

"Thank you, old butler. I will send someone to bring you some supplements one day as a token of my gratitude." Zheng Shixian thanked him happily.

The old butler didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, so he turned around and walked towards the gate.

Zheng Shixian, with an excited look on his face, hurriedly took Gu Chan and Shen Sanfeng and followed the old butler into the Liu Mansion.
