After Zou Xing heard this, the expression on his face did not change at all, as if he didn't care at all.
What about climbing high branches? In this world, if there are high branches to climb, then we should be thankful. Zou Xing wouldn't act like an idiot, and immediately lose his face after being ridiculed. He quickly danced and explained to others that he had nothing to do with Jing Haibo and that the two of them were innocent.
People who desperately try to push the relationship with Jing Haibo out are fools. What to explain to others? How does others view it, and what does it have to do with you? As long as he can curry favor with Jing Haibo, Zou Xing won't care what others think.
Don't even look at the county magistrates in front of you, who looked very disdainful and angry that Zou Xing could send a message to Jing Haibo. If Zou Xing were to change their positions with them, I'm afraid they would all be vying for the first place, and even regard those who compete with them as enemies.
Therefore, the world is as dark as crows, and no one should laugh at anyone.
It was his luck that he was able to catch up with Jing Haibo. No one could take it away, let alone say a few words that made him uncomfortable, just to make himself throw away such an opportunity.
A few people looked at Zou Xing intently for a while, and saw that he didn't care at all when he was here. They understood that Zou Xing was not a person who would get confused after just a few words, but also an old fox.
"Haha, don't be surprised, Magistrate Zou, he is so outspoken when he speaks." Seeing that Zou Xing was not fooled, someone started to say haha to lighten the atmosphere.
Zou Xing's expression remained unchanged and he remained silent, but he was sneering in his heart. Outspoken? What a straightforward person. If you can dig holes for yourself at will by being outspoken, then you will have too much of a good atmosphere.
Zou Xing glanced meaningfully at the appointed magistrate and made up his mind that he would definitely get back this holiday if he had the chance in the future.
Seeing that Zou Xing looked confused, he didn't say a word. The person who just spoke pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Master Zou has given you instructions, so let's just get things done."
He looked at Zou Xing and said, "I think Mr. Zou has a lot of people, so he won't mind careless remarks, right?"
Unintentional words......
Zou Xing couldn't help but frown when he heard this. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to let this person go. If you have offended yourself and can get over it by just showing off and apologizing, then why should you use the laws and regulations of the country?
At that time, the county magistrate seemed to be acting as a peacemaker and discussing with Zou Xing, but at the same time, there was also a hidden threat.
If Zou Xing wants to hold on to him, then they will definitely slow down on the matters Jing Haibo told him. Aren't you, Zou Xing, Jing Haibo's only messenger? On the other hand, if something goes wrong, Jing Haibo will naturally come to settle the score with you. You, Zou Xing, can't shirk it even if you want to. Who can say there are so many people who are jealous of Zou Xing.
Although I can't be happy, we can't see you Zou Xing well either.
Zou Xing lowered his head and pondered, secretly raised his eyelids, and saw everyone looking directly at him. Knowing that they would not give up without giving them a clear answer, they must deliberately embarrass themselves during the subsequent opening of fields and construction of plank roads.
If he misses Jing Haibo's affairs then, he will be the first to suffer. Not only was there no hope of meritorious service in front of Jing Haibo, he would even be questioned.
Why bother? It was just a squabble, and it was over with a smile.
"Hahaha, these adults have spoken seriously." Zou Xing suddenly laughed, feeling that the overall situation should be the most important thing. As for feeling uncomfortable, hehe, if he could satisfy Jing Haibo, then he wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"It's fate that we can serve as officials in the same government. Naturally, we should take care of each other."
Seeing that Zou Xing had said this, he immediately felt relieved. With this sentence, even if Zou Xing doesn't help them when he gets rich in the future, at least he won't cause trouble.
"Master Zou's words make sense..." Several people laughed in agreement with Zou Xing, and looked at each other, their previous suspicions disappearing.
Now that the conditions were agreed upon, the next few county magistrates naturally took their people to open fields and build plank roads, while Zou Xing continued to take the corvees to assist in fishing.
In the next few days, Zou Xing acted as the central coordinator, and with the full cooperation of several magistrates, the opening of fields and the construction of plank roads went quickly and smoothly. During this period, several county magistrates thought of asking to see Jing Haibo, but unfortunately Han Du refused to see them, citing illness as an excuse.
Only then did they realize that Jing Haibo was determined not to see them, and then they stopped thinking about him. However, when several people saw Zou Xing working hard and sweating profusely, their eyes showed envy. But envy was envy, and Jing Haibo's attitude left them with no other ideas. Some things, once missed, are missed forever.
"Uncle, the salt field has been excavated. I wonder if uncle wants to take a look?" Zou Xing came to the ship and reported the results of the past few days to Han Du.
Excavation of the salt field is much simpler than building a plank road, so the progress is the fastest. The excavation of the salt field has now been completed in accordance with Han Du's requirements. On the contrary, building a plank road is much more troublesome, because the plank road needs to be built deep into the water, so the speed has always been slow. Fortunately, Han Du had already ordered the cement to be mobilized. Thinking about it, after the cement arrives, the speed of plank road construction can be accelerated.
"Look, of course I want to go see it." Han Du looked at Zou Xing with a somewhat playful expression.
Zou Xing looked tired. He was really busy these days. Therefore, after listening to Han Du's words, he didn't think much, just nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements immediately," and then left.
"Wait," Han Du called out to him.
"What other instructions do you have, sir?" Zou Xing bowed to Han Du cautiously, keeping his head lowered.
Han Du sighed helplessly and said, "Raise your head."
Zou Xingyi raised his head and looked at Jing Haibo in confusion.
Han Du smiled and said: "Uncle Ben sees everything you do these days. Generally speaking, you do a good job."
"Thank you for your compliment, Uncle." Zou Xing quickly cheered up and thanked him.
Han Du nodded in response and continued: "But it's only good, and it's far from good."
Zou Xing couldn't help but panic when he heard this. He had almost risked his life these days. Just like this, Jing Haibo was still not satisfied? Then his hard work these days was in vain. He missed this opportunity and had no hope of promotion, which really made him despair.
For a moment, Zou Xing couldn't help but look at Jing Haibo with a pleading look on his face.
When Han Du saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, so he had to say something: "To be specific, you just don't have enough vision. You are easy to lose your mind when encountering things. This is also related to the fact that you are only a seventh-grade county magistrate."
