When Su Yingxue saw the master looking at her, she knew that it was her time to choose. She would either agree to Su Dongchu's acceptance of Jiang Yifeng's teaching method, or Jiang Yifeng would refuse to become a teacher at Yuelu Academy.
If she did not consider other reasons, she would not hesitate to let Jiang Yifeng give up being a teacher. After all, no matter how important it was, it could not be compared with her brother's achievement.
However, she was afraid of offending her husband.
After all, it is not difficult to see that the master admires Jiang Yifeng very much. If Jiang Yifeng fails to become a teacher at Yuelu Academy because of her, the master will definitely be unhappy.
She was not worried about other things, but she was worried that the master would not let Su Dongchu participate in the Zhongyuan Poetry Festival.
Call...
Just when Su Yingxue was struggling, a luxurious carriage pulled by three horses stopped at the door of Su's mansion, followed by a small group of soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man got off the carriage. When he saw Su Yingxue and his wife, he was stunned for a moment and quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
"I've met the Master, Miss Su."
"I've met Lord Lieutenant."
Su Yingxue and her husband nodded politely.
The county lieutenant, the assistant officer of the county governor, manages the military personnel of Jiujiang County. He is responsible for the security of the entire county and has great power.
Su Yingxue asked: "I wonder what the Lord Commander has to do?"
"I have been ordered by the Sheriff to invite Jiang Yifeng to the Sheriff's Mansion to discuss important matters."
After the county lieutenant finished speaking, his eyes scanned for a week and finally locked on Jiang Yifeng.
There were a total of six people at the scene, five of whom he knew, except Jiang Yifeng, whom he had never met.
"The Sheriff is looking for him?"
Su Yingxue frowned, feeling incredible.
It must be understood that the county governor is the largest official in Jiujiang County. He is a prince-like existence. Even the major families in Su City cannot meet him if they want to.
But now, the county guard wants to see Jiang Yifeng.
Meet a man who was a disaster victim just a few days ago.
"That's right!"
After the county lieutenant finished speaking, he stopped talking to Su Yingxue and walked up to Jiang Yifeng, "Mr. Jiang, please."
Facing the sudden invitation, Jiang Yifeng glanced at Su Yingxue, said nothing, and calmly boarded the carriage.
Then, under the puzzled eyes of everyone, the carriage gradually moved away and finally disappeared from sight.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.
Jiang Yifeng got off the carriage and found that he had arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion.
"Mr. Jiang, please come inside." The county lieutenant said politely.
"Um!"
Jiang Yifeng nodded and followed the county lieutenant into the county governor's mansion. After the announcements were made, he saw the county governor who was fishing by a pond.
The county guard was a fat old man with a slight smile on his face. When he saw Jiang Yifeng arriving, he first made a silent gesture, then suddenly raised his fishing rod and caught a carp weighing about half a catty.
Upon seeing this, the county lieutenant quickly stepped forward to help, took the fishhook out of the carp's mouth, and put the fish back into the pond.
"Master Jiang is truly a talented person. Hurry up and sit here."
The county guard asked Jiang Yifeng to sit down.
"Thank you, Lord Sheriff."
Jiang Yifeng was not polite and sat down carelessly.
"Master Jiang is a little thinner than I thought. Would you like to order your servants to cook some delicious food to replenish your health?"
What a fucking hypocrisy!
If you sincerely entertain me, let alone one table of food, ten tables will be prepared.
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Yifeng to say such a thing. He smiled and shook his head, "The young man understands the kindness of the Sheriff, let's get down to business!"
"I wanted to entertain you well, but let's get down to business." The county guard pretended to be sorry, and then asked: "Master Jiang, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"I don't know!"
Jiang Yifeng shook his head.
In fact, he knew it, but in front of outsiders, he didn't want to appear too smart. It was best to be a little person who no one paid attention to.
pity!
With such a handsome face, it is too difficult to be a nobody.
"I am looking for you because of the victims of the Meishan disaster."
The county guard glanced at Jiang Yifeng, sighed deeply, and continued: "You went to Meishan today. You should have seen the suffering of the victims. As a parent officer, I saw it, felt pain in my heart, and wanted to save them. We have no choice but to escape from the sea of suffering, so we can only watch them suffer from hunger.”
hehe……
Jiang Yifeng said that he would just listen to what the county governor said.
Because it is not difficult to know from the mouth of the old bustard that the county governor in front of him thinks that the victims are troublesome and does not want to take care of them, but he is also afraid of being blamed by the court, so he is in a dilemma.
Acting, right?
Okay, you play and I play too!
Jiang Yifeng suddenly became excited and burst into tears as he said: "My lord, you have to work hard to protect the peace of one place without any credit. Don't blame yourself, otherwise I will be heartbroken. If you need me to do anything, my lord, just tell me."
The county governor seemed to be waiting for Jiang Yifeng to say this, and immediately said: "I want you to be responsible for the victims of Meishan. As long as you perform well, I will write to the court to commend you, and even help you operate and help you." Get meritorious status as soon as possible."
It has to be said that the conditions offered by the county governor are very tempting. If it were another scholar, he would nod and agree without hesitation, and kowtow to the county governor with gratitude.
but……
In Jiang Yifeng's eyes, the county guard just drew a few beautiful-looking cakes for him, and there was basically no possibility of redemption.
Because the purpose of the county guard was just to shirk responsibility for the victims of the Meishan disaster and find someone to take over and take the blame.
If he performs well and successfully solves the problems of the Meishan victims, the greatest credit goes to the county guard. At most, his name will be mentioned in the letter, but most likely he will not mention it at all.
But if he doesn't do a good job, the county guard will find an excuse to pass all the responsibilities onto him, and he will be the one who loses his head.
Therefore, once he nods, he will be fooled by the county guard.
"this……"
Jiang Yifeng hesitated and said: "Master Sheriff, Xiaosheng is just a poor scholar. How can he be responsible for the victims of the Meishan disaster? You look down on me."
The county guard said: "Mr. Jiang, you are not a poor scholar. I have already inquired about you. You are the husband-in-law of the eldest lady of the Su family. You have the Su family as your backer."
really……
The old bustard's mouth is not as secure as the young child's legs!
Jiang Yifeng smiled bitterly, "Sir, the husband-in-law is fake, but the daughter-in-law is real. How can I convince the Su family!"
When the county governor saw that Jiang Yifeng still refused to agree, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this. The county governor's office will provide you with help. If you have any difficulties, just ask."
"If you think about it carefully, with me as your backer, the Su family cannot sit idly by and do nothing. When the time comes, you will have the Su family and the county magistrate's office to work together to help you and solve the problems for the victims."
"I promise that as long as you perform well, I will write a letter to the court to commend you. With my help, you will be able to obtain a meritorious title soon, and you will not have to suffer from the cowardice of your adopted son-in-law."
Jiang Yifeng's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!"
The county guard quickly asked, "Then you agreed?"
"It's not impossible to agree, it's just..."
Jiang Yifeng paused and looked at the county guard, "Since the Lord is willing to help, Xiaosheng would like to put forward a few conditions. As long as the Lord can agree, Xiaosheng will immediately agree to take over the victims."
The county guard asked: "What are the conditions?"
Jiang Yifeng suddenly laughed and said: "I want the entire Meishan Mountain and the land within five kilometers of the surrounding area. The county governor's office will give me another thousand taels of silver, and your county soldiers will lend me half a month."
