Chapter 1036 Yuanlu No. 1 Family
At that moment, Sun Shan forgave Wang Jijun's crying and shouting.
She is only 17 years old, still a child. It is normal for her to cry after suffering such an injury.
Sun Shan comforted him, "Don't be afraid. We will be back to Yuanlu soon. Be patient, we will be there soon."
Before Wang Jijun could say anything else, Sun Shan had already floated away.
I walked outside and asked Sun Dali, "Nothing unusual happened last night, right?"
I don’t know if this group of bandits have any companions, or if there are other bandits nearby.
According to Wang Jijun and the Wei escorts, there are generally no bandits in Yuanlu County, after all, it is not very wealthy.
There are not many traveling merchants, and once the city gates are closed, it is difficult to rob the city. If you choose the villagers outside the city, they can only earn a few dollars, and they are not the target of bandits at all.
If you want to rob something, go to places with prosperous trade. That way it will be more effective.
The local Wang Jijun also said that he had only heard of bandits when he was a child, but gradually he found that they were gone and moved to Wuling Mountain.
Sun Shan was very confused. Logically, he shouldn't have met them, so why did he meet them?
Sun Shan wanted to bring out the surviving bandits and interrogate them, but they were barely alive and could not speak a word.
Sun Dali shook his head and said, "Master, everything was normal last night."
Sun Dali arranged for people to stand guard for twelve hours non-stop to make sure no suspicious persons were found.
Sun Shan nodded and said, "That's good. Let's set off."
The group continued to move forward. They should have reached Yuanlu City this afternoon, but were delayed because of the bandits.
And they are moving very slowly, so they won't arrive until tomorrow noon.
As Sun Shan walked, he asked, "Wang Jijun, why don't you study?"
Judging from the appearance of his family, he was not poor. In this age of belief that "everything is inferior except reading", it would be strange if he did not read.
Could it be that this young master Wang in front of him was a poor student? He just couldn't continue studying?
Sun Shan’s guess was correct. Student Wang was indeed a poor student and could not continue his studies.
After being persuaded to quit by his teacher, he ran to Chenzhou Prefecture in a rage, hoping to sell goods and make a fortune to impress his parents.
It proves that he is only bad at studying, but he is good in everything else!
Wang Jijun stammered, "Studying, studying, it costs so much money!"
As soon as he said this, he was immediately despised by the servants: "Master, why don't you find any other excuse? Why did you choose this most untenable one? You are indeed what the teacher called a "stupid kid" who can't even find an excuse."
Sun Shan glanced at Wang Jijun and said nothing.
Wang Jijun also felt that this reason was too ridiculous to be true. He scratched his head awkwardly and said nothing.
Hehe, a family that can even afford a horse-drawn carriage actually says that they don’t want to send their children to school because it’s expensive. This is a really low excuse.
Sun Shan continued to ask: "Why did you go to Chenzhou this time? What did you sell?"
Wang Jijun not only lost a lot of people, but also lost a lot of goods. It was not that someone stole them, but in the fight and escape, the goods on the car fell to the ground in pieces, and there was no way to pick them up.
It was truly a heavy loss.
Speaking of business, Wang Jijun began to cry: "My Lord, my goods, my goods, are all gone. I have lost everything this time. God is unfair. I have lost everything on my first business trip."
The goods Wang Jijun took this time were mainly white sugar, brown sugar, and cloth. As a result, they were scattered all over the floor, especially the sugar, which he couldn't pick up no matter how hard he tried. The distressed Master Wang started to cry.
Sun Shan looked at him speechlessly. It was as if he hadn't been weaned yet, and he just kept crying. He cried even more miserably than little Fatty.
Sun Shan continued to ask: "Tell me about the situation in Yuanlu. Who has the most power behind it?"
Sun Shan had probably gathered some information in Chenzhou Prefecture. Now he met a native from Yuanlu, who seemed to be quite rich. If he asked him, he should be able to tell him something.
Sun Shan did not intend to ask in a roundabout way, fearing that his question would be too tactful and the not-so-bright Young Master Wang would not understand.
Just ask directly.
Young Master Wang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Master Qingtian, why are you asking about this?"
Sun Shan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "I am the chief official of Yuanlu County, so I must know the situation in Yuanlu. Just tell me what you know, and don't ask anything else."
Gui Ge'er, who was carrying a large package nearby, said, "That's right, Master Wang. Our master asked you, so answer that. After all, it was our master who saved you. If it weren't for our master killing the bandits, you would have been buried in the wilderness. Master Wang, you should be grateful and repay kindness, and you can't repay kindness with enmity."
Sun Dingnan also said, "Yes, your life was saved by our master, and he didn't ask you for anything in return, he just asked some questions. Don't think too much, just tell us what you know."
Wang Jijun looked at Sun Shan timidly, hesitating but not saying anything.
Sun Shan glared at him and asked coldly, "What's wrong? Is it so hard to tell? Even if you don't tell me today, I will know it when I get to Yuanlu tomorrow. Or are you just ignorant and only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and you don't know anything about what's going on in the city."
Wang Jijun secretly glanced at Sun Shan, immediately dodged to the side, then glanced again and dodged again.
It looks like he has done something wrong.
Sun Shan glared at Wang Jijun coldly.
Wang Jijun: Alexander!
The magistrate is so cruel, so cold, and so scary! I really want to run away!
The escort Xiao Wei, who was leading the way, felt a little sorry for running away yesterday and wanted to make amends. He glanced at Wang Jijun and whispered, "Master Sun, the most powerful family in Yuanlu is the Wang family!"
While saying this, his eyes drifted towards Wang Jijun from time to time.
They all have the surname Wang, so maybe they are from the same family.
Sun Shan paused, nodded and said, "Wang Jijun, are you from the Wang family?"
Escort Xiao Wei has been traveling around the world for many years and has heard a lot of gossip from different places.
Sun Shan had asked them for information before, but he never expected that the Wang Jijun in front of him was the number one in Yuanlu.
Tsk tsk, isn't this too much of a coincidence? I have to sigh that this is God's will.
Under Sun Shan's pressure, Wang Jijun nodded tremblingly: "My Lord, that's what others say about us being the best. We are not. We must not believe everything we hear. Those who hear it are all nonsense."
Whether the words are random or not, Sun Shan has his own judgment.
But the Wang Jijun in front of me is not worthy of being born into the number one family in Yuanlu.
After a brief contact and conversation, I knew he was very childish.
Sun Shan secretly thought that if the number one family in Yuanlu could only cultivate a disciple like Wang Jijun, it would soon fall into decline.
However, Wang Jijun is the fourth child, and he is the apple of his eye, so it is inevitable that he will be pampered and spoiled.
No one can make a final conclusion without having met the first patriarch.
Just like Da Pangpang, except for Da Pangpang, the other children of the He family are very outstanding.
