Chapter 16 Smiling County Lord
The bear palm strike is not a set of killing moves, but a force-generating technique that matches the [Big Bear Stake].
With the blessing of this technique, other martial arts will become more powerful.
"Here you are, be careful, don't let those dirty soldiers rob our goods."
Zhou Yuan was practicing the coordination between the [Big Bear Stake] and martial arts, and the old postman suddenly called him and several runners over.
After he ordered several teams of villagers to take care of the bear corpse, he walked to the front of the crowd.
The gate of the county town was indeed opened, and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by six followers and more than 30 soldiers, came up.
After he approached the team of runners, he did not check the bear corpse first, but asked with a smile.
"Which hero led the team to fight the bear? This official must reward him generously."
The level of speech was very implicit, and there was only one word difference between "reward generously" and "reward generously", but the attitude was completely different.
The old postman did not dare to speak nonsense at this time, but looked at Zhou Yuan with several runners.
Zhou Yuan was not afraid of the stage. He walked out of the queue and saluted.
"Qiaoxi Zhou Yuan greets you, sir. Thanks to the trust of all the brothers, I have the honor to lead the team to fight the bear."
"Well, good boy, I am Zheng Ji, the magistrate of Leji County. I will never covet your money and goods.
Let my pharmacists and knife-slayers deal with the four big bears.
Come with me. I just need to have breakfast. We will have a good drink later."
"Thank you for your appreciation."
Zheng County Magistrate was a little polite to Zhou Yuan, but very majestic to the officers. Facing the compliments of the officers, he just nodded coldly.
Interestingly, he was very friendly to the villagers. When watching the bears for a while, he promised to give out a lot of food.
The villagers thought that this county magistrate was a rare good official, and regretted that they did not live under the rule of Zheng County Magistrate.
When checking the bear carcass, Zheng County Magistrate did not care about the damaged fur at all, but looked at the belly of the bear carcass many times.
"I know what's going on. You guys can help free the bear. I'll go back first and send the yamen runners to bring you some food."
"Go slowly, County Lord. We'll see you off."
When County Lord Zheng left, the scholar accompanying him was worried that Zhou Yuan was ignorant, so he pulled him and signaled him to follow.
To be honest, Zhou Yuan didn't want to be alone with County Lord Zheng. The difference in status between them was too big. Just a few bear carcasses was not enough to invite him to a banquet.
But Leji County was someone else's territory after all. Zhou Yuan couldn't offend the county magistrate for no reason, so he could only follow him for the time being.
After entering the city, County Lord Zheng took Zhou Yuan into the government office, and soon a maid came to serve food and dishes.
"Young Master, I have to thank you very much. You solved a difficult problem for me.
You don't know how hateful those black bears are. I feel pained when I think of the passers-by being injured by those beasts."
"I don't deserve the county magistrate's thanks. We have to fight desperately to protect ourselves."
"Don't refuse. Why don't you deserve it? All things are judged by deeds, not by heart. Since you have eliminated harm for the people, you deserve the county's thanks."
Zheng County Magistrate seemed very kind. He asked Zhou Yuan about his background from time to time and sighed that heroes come from young.
The more Zhou Yuan listened, the more alert he became. He didn't know what this Zheng County Magistrate was thinking.
"Young Master, you are so heroic and strong that you can fight bears. I guess you must have had some adventures.
In addition to caring about the people, this county likes strange stories the most. If you know, please tell me. It's just right for drinking."
It was not until this time that Zhou Yuan understood why Zheng County Magistrate invited him to a banquet and said some compliments from time to time.
It turned out that he wanted to use his noble status and praise to stimulate the young man's pride and bring up the topic of strange stories.
At the same time, he also made him understand that the ruling class of Wei really knew where the copy was and attached great importance to information related to it.
Even a group of servants killing a black bear could arouse their temptation.
"Strange stories, I have heard from the elders in the village that there are immortal demons and immortal gods in the world.
I have never seen anything magical myself. Fighting the bear is just taking advantage of the terrain. The brothers wrestled with it, and I took the opportunity to stab its mouth and nose."
"Immortality? Hahaha..."
The originally kind Zheng County Magistrate lost interest in talking after he found out that he could not get anything out of him.
He ate a few bites casually, then said that he had government affairs to deal with and left the office first.
When Zhou Yuan returned to the caravan under the leadership of the yamen runners, he learned that the county's head constable had just asked in detail about fighting the bear and was now running towards the post station.
The officers' desire for credit was exposed on the spot, and even the old postman was asked when he hid in the cave.
"Shitou, County Magistrate Zheng is really strict in law enforcement. Whoever makes the effort is the credit. He is not like the fool in the story book at all."
"Yes, he is a man with a smile on his face and a careful mind."
Zheng County Magistrate's actions made Zhou Yuan realize the danger of this world.
He needs a more powerful stage to become stronger in the sun, otherwise he will inevitably be suspected.
Fortunately, this bear-fighting incident can withstand the inspection, and the testimony of the villagers is enough to offset his specialness.
Near the afternoon, the bear corpse had been dealt with, and County Magistrate Zheng belatedly sent two documents.
One was given to Zhou Yuan to prove that he had fought a bear for Leji County; the other was given to the men of Qiaoxi Village to prove that they worked together.
The county yamen brought the reward. After dividing it, Zhou Yuan got 500 coins and each of the men in Qiaoxi got 50 coins.
The main thing was the purchase fee for the bear carcass. This time, County Magistrate Zheng did not divide it so finely. The money was divided into four parts and given to Zhou Yuan, the men from Qiaoxi, the officers, and other villagers.
Due to the different number of people, the money divided by each person was also different.
Zhou Yuan held a small piece of gold cake. The officers each received 200 coins, the men from Qiaoxi each received 60 coins, and the other villagers each received only 20 coins.
Although this distribution model allowed Zhou Yuan to gain the greatest benefit, it also made him a rich man who stood out from the crowd.
In order to break this extreme gap in wealth, Zhou Yuan took the initiative to speak.
"My Lord, I am about to return to the camp, and I have nowhere to use these treasures.
I want to buy some nourishing medicine to strengthen my body, please help me."
"Oh, you are a man who knows how to make progress. It is fate that we meet, so I will help you."
"This is the Lingshen Pill of Zheng from Linjiang, which is the best for nourishing the body.
You have a gold cake and 500 yuan. I can only give you five pills, but since you have eliminated harm for this county, I will add another one to support your martial arts training."
"Thank you, my Lord. Qiaoxi Zhouyuan will never forget your kindness today."
Zheng County Magistrate can speak nice words, and Zhou Yuan is not bad either. He simply said good things to show that one knows how to meet him and the other knows how to be grateful.
When the villagers saw this scene, they thought that Zheng County Magistrate appreciated Zhou Yuan a lot, and they were very surprised that such a good Lord did not recruit such a good young man.
Until they left, the men of Qiaoxi Village were still regretful.
"Shitou, County Magistrate Zheng thinks highly of you, why don't you stay? If you become a county official, all the villagers will benefit from it."
"I can't stay, and I can't stay."
On the other side, County Magistrate Zheng's followers also asked a similar question. It's rare to see a man who dares to fight a bear, so why not stay and serve.
"Since that young man is brave and courageous, he should fight for our Wei.
If I keep him, between the position of a junior and the position of a senior, which position can match the young man's spirit."
