The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1127: So Simple

The county magistrate thought about it and quickly stood up to leave.

He had just taken a step when Doctor Fang came over. Only then did the county magistrate realize that Doctor Fang was not the only one who came. There was a young and handsome man following behind him.

Doctor Fang quickly cupped his hands and bowed. “Sir, this is Young Master Shao.”

Young Master Shao? Who was he?

The county magistrate looked at Shao Qingyuan in confusion.

After Shao Qingyuan came to the county city, he first went to look for Doctor Fang. Doctor Fang was the doctor who had gone to the Xuanhe Prefecture to learn the cowpox vaccination method from Heyuan County, so he naturally knew him.

Doctor Fang was inoculating the people in the county, so it was easier for him to see the county magistrate. Shao Qingyuan wanted to save himself a lot of trouble.

Seeing that the county magistrate didn’t remember, Doctor Fang quickly introduced Shao Qingyuan.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up and he grabbed his hand. “So you’re Mr. Shao. I’ve heard so much about you. Nice to meet you.”

Of course, he had heard of Shao Qingyuan’s name. The commoners didn’t know the emperor’s decree, but as the county magistrate, he knew it very well. This was a talent that even the emperor praised endlessly. He had done something that benefited the country and the people and saved countless lives. In the future, this person’s future was definitely limitless.

Shao Qingyuan’s name was already well-known in Heyuan County. His deeds had become the hottest story in the teahouse and were very popular.

The county magistrate did not expect him to appear here.

The county magistrate pulled Shao Qingyuan to sit down and asked someone to serve tea. Only then did he wonder why he was here.

“Young Master Shao, are you here for the cowpox vaccination method?”

Shao Qingyuan shook his head. “This trip is for private matters. I just encountered some problems and want to ask you for a favor.”

Hearing that it was a private matter, the county magistrate hurriedly asked everyone in the central room to leave, leaving him alone to talk to Shao Qingyuan.

“Please speak, Young Master Shao.” He was naturally willing to help Shao Qingyuan.

As long as it did not harm the country or his interests, the county magistrate was willing to be friends with him.

Shao Qingyuan didn’t hide it from him and told him what had happened in Great Rock Village.

The county magistrate frowned and slapped the table. “Outrageous! The court has issued a decree that clans cannot carry out the death penalty in private. How dare they burn it and sink it in the pond? That’s ridiculous.”

After scolding, he sat back in his chair dejectedly and reached out to rub his forehead. “I didn’t supervise them well enough and almost let them harm your uncle. It’s just that these people rely on the law to not punish the masses and still follow their clan rules. It’s difficult to eradicate their bad habits.”

Shao Qingyuan also understood this. This kind of thing didn’t only happen in Great Rock Village. There were many other villages like this across the country.

Although the Imperial Court had issued a decree, if they really wanted to enforce this decree, it would probably cause a huge backlash.

Therefore, combining two small villages and inserting a portion of refugees was actually a solution.

At the very least, Great Rock Village could still find an opportunity to take advantage of the conflict between the two clans.

Shao Qingyuan didn’t come here to ask the county magistrate to send troops to suppress them and ask the villagers to let them go. He just wanted to figure out the Qiu family.

“Qiu family? Do you want me to help you find out why the Qiu family is helping the Zhou family?”

“Yes.”

“So simple?” Wasn’t it a waste of talent? He felt that he had no use for it. This favor wasn’t of much use.
