Chapter 2642 Otani Village
After the things were moved, Shao Qingyuan said to Shao Wen, "Tell the others, we will arrive at Dagu Village in an hour, and we will stay in Dagu Village tonight."
"Yes." Shao Wen responded, trotted and said to the people in the carriages behind him.
After hearing this, Qi Mo couldn't help but wonder, "Are we going to find a place to rest in an hour? Isn't it too early, didn't the shopkeeper of the inn where we stayed yesterday say that we can reach the front county town by horse-drawn carriage in the evening? "
Tong Shuitao shrugged, "That must be Miss and Uncle have something to do, let's just follow."
Madam Qi nodded, and was supported by the red leaves into the carriage.
But I was a little curious about this place in Otani Village.
The wagon wheel started rolling again. Gu Yundong sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window while thinking about what Qin Wenzheng said before leaving the capital.
Dagu Village is the place where Qin Wenzheng was injured.
Qin Wenzheng was accidentally injured when the villagers of two villages were fighting. One of these villages was Dagu Village.
In the final analysis, Qin Wenzheng was an official of the imperial court, and he was also an important minister in front of the emperor.
Although it was an accidental injury, it was an official injury after all. The magistrate in the county seat where Dagu Village is located will definitely take this matter seriously. No matter what, he will give Qin Wenzheng an explanation and punish the villagers who make trouble.
But Qin Wenzheng also said before he left that it is enough to investigate and deal with the troubles of the two villagers. Whether it was an accident or a light punishment for accidentally hurting him, a small punishment and a big admonition.
He returned to the capital after he explained it at the beginning, because there were not many people with him, and he could not leave anyone to deal with the aftermath, so he could only tell the county magistrate.
But when he thought about it, he realized that what he said at the beginning might be ambiguous, and he didn't know whether the magistrate had violated the law.
In short, since Shao Qingyuan and the others were going to the southwest, they helped to visit when they happened to pass by Dagu Village.
Qin Wenzheng handed them a letter and asked them to hand it over to the local magistrate.
Because I wasn't in a hurry, the speed of the carriage was not very fast, it was slow, and the original one-hour journey was extended to an hour and a half.
They arrived at the entrance of the village with a group of six or seven carriages, which instantly attracted many villagers to watch.
Shao Wen got off the carriage and asked a villager on the side of the road, "Dare to ask fellow villagers, how do you get to the village chief's house?"
"The village head's house?" The villager was stunned, and quickly pointed to not far away and said, "Well, it's there, not far."
Shao Wen looked in the direction of his finger. It was not far, and the house was bigger than the one next to it. It happened that the carriage could go over here.
Shao Wen thanked him, said a few words on the side of the carriage, then thanked the villager who answered, gave him a few candies, and then went to the village chief's house.
The villager looked at the candy in his hand, his eyes lit up instantly, and hurriedly ran forward, "I'll show you the way."
Shao Wen didn't stop it, the villager laughed when he saw this, stuffed the candy in his sleeve, and asked, "Where are you calling from? Who is our village chief, what are you looking for? Our village? When did you have such wealthy relatives?"
Shao Wen, "..."
He smiled, "We were just passing by this village, because there were children on the carriage making noise, so let's rest for a while."
Chi Chi in the carriage turned his head, he seemed to have heard the word "child", is there any other baby here besides him?
