"Do you really know the county magistrate?"
"It's true, Daddy, No, this is a snack he gave to me and my sister. It's delicious. I won't forget it..."
Xiao Qiao pouted and took out a finished bear biscuit bag from his pocket and gave it to Mr. Qiao, indicating that he was not lying.
Mr. Qiao took the packaging bag, took a look at it, and saw that it was definitely not something he had at home. Then he raised his hand and tapped Xiao Qiao's little head, making a loud banging sound.
"boom."
"Hey~yo!"
Xiao Qiao felt pain and covered his head with his hands.
"You, you, how many times have I told you not to eat food given by strangers, and don't eat food given by strangers casually, and you forgot, right?" Mr. Qiao criticized Xiao Qiao seriously.
"me……"
Xiao Qiao still wanted to explain something, but after thinking about it, she realized... I don't know how to explain it. Dad didn't know about the handsome boy coming back, so he had to say nothing and pretend to be aggrieved.
"This trick won't work. I'll be detained for ten days when I get home and reflect on it."
"Haa~"
After teaching Xiao Qiao a lesson, Mr. Qiao turned to look at Da Qiao behind him, who was holding back a smile: "Are you also involved in this matter?"
Da Qiao nodded first, then shook his head, then nodded again.
"Do you really know the county magistrate?"
"Yeah." Da Qiao nodded.
"Forget it, you're already here. If you want to see me, just meet me."
Mr. Qiao stood up, walked to the officer and soldier in front of him, and said politely: "Hello, little brother, could you please go in and inform the county magistrate that Mr. Qiao of the Qiao family has heard that the county magistrate has appointed a new officer?" , specially came to visit..."
As he spoke, Mr. Qiao took two small coins from his pocket and quietly stuffed them into the sleeves of the officer and soldier.
When the officers and soldiers saw it, they thought: Huh? How brave is this guy? He actually dares to bribe me at the Yamen Gate? As a soldier of Mr. Chen, how can I accept such a bribe? !
"Sorry, I can't accept it."
The officer and soldier were upright and decisively pushed the money back.
Mr. Qiao looked embarrassed when he was rejected. He had been traveling in Jiangdong for many years and this trick had always worked. Unexpectedly, today in his hometown of Anhui County, this trick didn't work?
"I won't accept the money, but I can go in and inform you. You guys will wait a moment." the officer added.
He had also heard the conversation between Xiao Qiao and Mr. Qiao just now. The little girl in front of him seemed to know Mr. Chen. He would rather believe it than not, so it would be better to inform him.
Hearing this, Mr. Qiao was overjoyed: "Then I'll be able to help my brother."
"Um."
The officers and soldiers turned around and ran into the Yamen to report...
"Lord Qi, there is a man outside the door who claims to be Mr. Qiao of the Qiao family and wants to see you."
"Oh? Mr. Qiao? Let him come in."
"promise."
After a while, the officers and soldiers led Qiao Gong and Xiao Qiao in.
"Hey Chen Feng, this lady is here~"
Seeing that the person sitting in the courtroom was indeed Chen Feng, Xiao Qiao immediately happily trotted to Chen Feng's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "So you are really the county magistrate."
"Xiao...Xiao Qiao, come down quickly!"
This frightened Mr. Qiao. The little kid was ignorant, and he would be in trouble if he angered the county magistrate.
However, Mr. Qiao's worries were relieved by Chen Feng's attitude toward Xiao Qiao the next second.
I saw Chen Feng in the court slowly closing the memorial in his hand and looking at Xiao Qiao: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I came to see you, definitely... definitely not because of the bear cookies."
Chen Feng: "......"
Chen Feng reached into the cabinet under the table, conjured up a pile of bear biscuits and took it out: "Okay, I'll give you some more."
"Wow~oh! How embarrassing is this."
Xiao Qiao said she was embarrassed, but she took the bear biscuits with both hands honestly. She said thank you and ran out of the court with a slurp, not forgetting to give a few packets to her sister Da Qiao.
At this time, Mr. Qiao finally found the right time to speak. He respectfully saluted Chen Feng in the courtroom and said:
"I, Mr. Qiao, have met the county magistrate."

A native of Wan County, Lujiang, the father of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, he is now the head of the Qiao family. He is a thoughtful but upright person. He is currently engaged in the business of ceramics and grain, and is well-known in Wan County and other nearby counties. 】
"Well, Uncle Qiao doesn't need to be polite."
Chen Feng got up from the court and walked down. He treated Mr. Qiao as if he were his elder and asked him to take a seat.
Mr. Qiao was a little flattered by this.
You must know that in ancient times, the county magistrate had another title among the people, called Tu Emperor. In a county, the largest official was the county magistrate. Regardless of the key county towns, in other remote small counties far away from the capital, the county magistrate was the sky. The county magistrate follows the rules, and his life is even more emperor than that of the emperor.
Although his daughter knew the new county magistrate, Mr. Qiao was still a little cautious. After all, the Qiao family's business mainly centered on Wan County. It was unclear what the new magistrate of Wan County, Chen Feng, was. Naturally, you have to be polite before coming.
"Uncle Qiao doesn't need to see anyone outside."
Chen Feng said to Qiao Qiao with a sincere and serious face: "Your daughter Xiao Qiao once saved my life. It is no exaggeration to say that without Xiao Qiao, I would have died in the wilderness. You are Xiao Qiao's father. From then on, From now on, you are Chen Feng’s father. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you.”
"?"
Mr. Qiao was speechless for a moment.
what's the situation?
I originally planned to become friends with this county magistrate, but now he actually recognized me as his father? I got an extra godson out of nowhere?
After being stunned for several seconds, Mr. Qiao came to his senses and said, "Master Chen, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Hey~! It doesn't matter. If Uncle Qiao feels it's sudden, then we can take our time and don't be in a hurry."
With that said, Chen Feng changed the subject appropriately: "I heard that the Qiao family has a ceramics business. Just so, I have a batch of porcelain in hand, but I don't know the current market price. Uncle Qiao, you are good at this. So I would like to ask you to help me sell it, what do you think of Uncle Qiao?"
When Qiao Gong heard this, he thought this was an opportunity to save favors, but after many years of business, he was also more cautious, so he said: "Master Chen, what are you talking about? Since it is Master Chen's business, I am naturally happy to help, but... can you let me do it?" Let me take a look at this batch of porcelain first so that I can estimate the price, and then go back to discuss it with the rest of the Qiao family."
"sure."
Chen Feng readily agreed and signaled Mr. Qiao to follow him.
Mr. Qiao turned around and took the two sisters, Qiao and Qiao, who were still in the same place and didn't understand why, and followed Chen Feng...
