When Magistrate Sun found Yun Chao again, he found him eating.
Holding a big bowl full of meat and vegetables, grabbing two big white steamed buns, he squatted with a group of his boys, eating and chatting at the same time.
It's so satisfying to eat a bite of vegetables and a bite of steamed buns.
Magistrate Sun's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
After struggling for a long time, almost no bite of the delicious food on the table was eaten, all prepared by Hou Ting and Cao Yufeng. Now smelling the aroma of the food, Magistrate Sun swallowed his saliva with greed.
"Oh, it's the county magistrate. Please be patient. Let's talk slowly after I finish eating."
"Yun Er, I haven't eaten yet!"
Magistrate Sun originally didn't want to talk to Yun Chao, but he was too hungry to bear it.
"Oh, Li Xing, you kid, stop eating now and serve a bowl of food to Magistrate Sun. Who is that... Magistrate Sun, there are steamed buns over there. Get two of them yourself and come over and eat with us. There are many people. It’s lively and delicious.”
"you……"
Magistrate Sun wanted to walk away. How could he, a dignified scholar in the imperial court, squat and eat with a bunch of mud-legged people?
However, when Li Xing handed a bowl full of meat and vegetables to him, Magistrate Sun still compromised.
No matter who you have trouble with, you can’t have trouble with your own stomach. Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so just eat!
However, Magistrate Sun still did not squat with Yun Chao and the others. He found a chair and sat down. This was his last stubbornness as a scholar-official.
Who knows, Yun Chao is not happy anymore: "County Magistrate Sun, come here, why are you sitting so far away? Do you know what it means to be separated from the masses?"
Magistrate Sun was so angry that he snorted coldly and ignored Yun Chao at all. No matter how much Yun Er said, I would never squat down to eat!
Yun Chao curled his lips: "County magistrate, stop being so airy and come here quickly. I have something to discuss with you. Regarding food, will you listen? If you don't listen, I will go out to do errands after dinner." oh?"
Magistrate Sun was so angry that he almost threw the bowl.
Yun Er is such a weakling. How can he force the parents of a county to eat while squatting? What is the difference between this and forcing a man to squat to urinate?
He deliberately ignored Yun Chao, but he was also afraid that Yun Chao would play second-hand and find no one after the meal.
Finally, Magistrate Sun gave in and moved his chair in front of Yun Chao.
Yun Chao sat down without waiting for Magistrate Sun to sit down.
"Oops, my legs are numb from squatting. Thank you, magistrate, for giving me a seat."
"you……"
Magistrate Sun stared at it for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to put the bowl on Yun Chao's head.
Several boys nearby were eyeing him. If he withheld this bowl, Magistrate Sun would be worried about his personal safety.
"Hmph, Yun Er, if you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I will eat standing up!"
Yun Chao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Magistrate Sun would rather eat standing up than squat down. Those who insist on saving face and suffering will suffer a big loss sooner or later.
Seeing that the dignified lord of the county could do nothing against Yun Chao, the admiration of the boys for him increased to another level.
Look, it’s our super brother. Even the county magistrate has to be humble in front of him. It seems that the parent officials of a county are nothing more than this!
"County magistrate, tell me, how much food shortage do you still have?"
"Three thousand stones!"
Magistrate Sun did not hesitate this time and answered decisively.
Yun Chao smiled. He had already asked Hou Ting and Cao Yufeng that the reserve of the Qingyang County granary should be 5,000 shi, and the three big grain merchants in the city were willing to pool 4,000 shi.
In other words, there is only a gap of one thousand dan left, but Magistrate Sun said that there is still a gap of 3,000 dan, which shows how unreasonable the old guy is.
However, Yun Chao did not expose Magistrate Sun: "Oh, that's troublesome. The shortfall of three thousand shi of food is too big. Magistrate, you'd better run away quickly. This matter can't be solved."
"I……"
Magistrate Sun felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He originally wanted to charge Yun Chao an exorbitant price and pay back the money, but Yun Er actually gave in.
"Yun Er, three thousand dan of food is nothing to me, but I am a little short of time. So, you just need to donate two thousand dan to me, and I will figure out a way for the remaining one thousand dan by myself."
Yun Chao rolled his eyes. Even now, Sun is still playing tricks on him.
However, Yun Chao still did not expose Magistrate Sun: "Two thousand stones is not much, I can go to a nearby city to buy it."
"What, are you really willing to buy it?"
When it comes to buying, Magistrate Sun can certainly buy it. If you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to spend it.
Unfortunately, even if you buy it, you may not be able to ship it back.
Well, it will definitely not come back.
Several grain merchants in this county all have backends and do not allow others to participate in the buying and selling of bulk grains.
If Magistrate Sun dares to send people to transport food in from outside, he will be robbed halfway.
As for spending more money to have grain merchants from other places deliver the grain?
The reason is the same, the local grain dealers simply don’t allow it.
When the bandits from all walks of life are dispatched together, the foreign grain merchants will definitely suffer heavy losses, so no one will do it at all.
"Yun Er, as long as you can hand over two thousand stones of food to me as scheduled, I will definitely find an opportunity to promote you!"
Yun Chao was speechless. Even now, Sun was still painting a cake for himself.
"County magistrate, I'm a rough man. We don't want to make cakes to satisfy our hunger. Let's do something real. You can do it for me, the county captain, and I will get food for you today!"
Magistrate Sun glared: "Yun Er, I have said that the county captain is not the one who has the final say. I gave you a patrol in Woniu Town. Aren't you satisfied?"
Yun Chao was happy because he was made angry by Magistrate Sun.
"County magistrate, we have to speak with our conscience. The patrol in Woniu Town was obtained by me from suppressing bandits. Helping you buy food is another matter, okay?"
"Yun Er, it's not that I don't want you to be a county captain, it's just that I don't have the power. How about you think this is a good idea? When I get promoted in the future, I will find a way to make it happen for you?"
Yun Chao had already finished eating and put the bowl aside: "County magistrate, you eat slowly. I have something else to do. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Yun Chao stood up and left. The man surnamed Sun was really shameless and he deserved to be bullied by the local officials.
Magistrate Sun had a hunch that if Yun Er left this time, his affairs would really get messed up.
"Oh, Yun Er, you kid, don't be so impatient. If you have anything to say, talk to me. Hey, Yun Er, you kid, come back..."
Yun Chao didn't even look back: "County magistrate, I hate people who don't keep their words. When will you fulfill your previous promises, let's talk about the future!"
After saying that, Yun Chao disappeared. No matter how hard Magistrate Sun searched, Yun Chao was never seen again.
Not to mention Yun Chao, even his biological daughter, Magistrate Sun, can no longer be seen.
No matter who you ask, they don’t know.
If you want to find it yourself, it will be difficult to do so.
As long as he moves a little bit, a few boys will stop him: "County magistrate, there are only women in the house, please respect yourself!"
