Chapter 1049 Moving into the county government office

Sun Shan had no idea what the Wang family was thinking.

After the welcoming banquet, he was respectfully escorted back to the yamen by a group of officials.

And the officials continue to do what they are supposed to do.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office. He must be careful these days to avoid upsetting Magistrate Sun. If he finds a reason to bully them, they will be in trouble.

Sun Shan walked back to the yamen and into the backyard, where he saw Sun Dingnan directing the guards of Sunjia Village to wash and rinse.

When everyone saw Sun Shan coming in, they immediately shouted, "Master, you're back."

Sun Shan nodded and asked, "Have you eaten?"

This time when he encountered bandits, Big Head Dog was not only chopped by the bandits, but his hairstyle was also ruined, from an ancient style bun to a mushroom head, which looked funny.

The big-headed dog said cheerfully, "Master, we have eaten. Nanny Wang and Aunt Xia cooked for us."

Before coming to Yuanlu County, Steward Wang bought all the pots, pans, grains, oils, sauces and vinegars, so he could start cooking as soon as he arrived at the inner courtyard of the county government. Although the food was not good, he would not be hungry.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "It's good to eat it."

Then he asked Sun Dingnan, "Did Butler Wang pick her up?"

Butler Wang and several injured guards followed Wang Jijun to see the doctor, and then stayed in the Wang family to recuperate.

Of course, after the big-headed dog was diagnosed with the disease, he found that there was nothing serious, so he left housekeeper Wang and his brothers and ran to Sun Shan.

Sun Dingnan put down the basin in his hand and said, "We have sent someone to the Wang family to pick them up. They should be on the way."

Today, Sun Shan officially "ascended the throne". These guards escorted Sun Shan to eat, and then left a few people to guard him while they returned to the yamen to clean up.

The entire yamen is divided into the county yamen gate - the first hall - the second hall - the third hall, with a total of four courtyards.

The first hall is where the court holds court, and is also the office for the three shifts and six rooms.

The second hall is the office of the chief clerk, county magistrate, legal advisor, and clerk.

Behind the third hall, that is, behind the fourth courtyard, is the private territory.

Here are the magistrate's residence, tax treasury, silver office, etc.

The only staff members in the entire county government were the magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the inspector, and the only person living in the county government was Sun Shan.

The county magistrate and the chief clerk have their own corresponding county magistrate offices and bureaus. However, County Magistrate Wang is a local native, so he naturally lives back home, and Chief Clerk Wu has also been in Yuanlu for many years, so he naturally has a place to live.

Sun Shan carefully inspected the entire backyard, which was actually quite large. Perhaps the land in Yuanlu County was not very valuable, so when the government office was built, they tried their best to enclose the land.

Although there are not many houses built, the area covered is very large.

Master Zhang limped out and said, "Master, your room has been tidied. We have been busy all morning, do you want to go in and rest?"

Sun Shan nodded and said, "I'll go in and take a look."

Gui Ge'er had already made the bed for Sun Shan and was arranging his clothes.

It's true, except that Gui Ge'er is sometimes slow in thinking, he is very proactive in doing housework.

She took over the job of the personal maid, so Sun Shan no longer needed a personal maid.

Gui Ge'er was folding clothes. When he saw Sun Shan come in, he said happily, "Brother Shan, are you tired? Go to sleep for a while. Maybe someone will come to look for you and you'll be busy again."

Sun Dingnan said, "Just now, County Magistrate Wang sent a few people over to ask if we needed help. I said no, I can do it myself, and they went back."

After a pause, he continued, "Not only County Magistrate Wang, but also Chief Secretary Wu sent people over, and we rejected them all."

It's easy for outsiders to feel at ease there, and since they're new there, they have to be cautious with people and things, and only speak when they need help.

Sun Shan knew that County Magistrate Wang and Chief Secretary Wu were just doing their job and did not really want to help.

He nodded and said, "Let's work on it ourselves first, and then explore it step by step. If it doesn't work, we can ask others."

Then he said, “Brother Nan, please help place the people and see where they live.”

Then he said to Master Zhang, "Master, take a look at where you like to live and come wherever is convenient for you."

The men from Sunjia Village came alone and could find any place to stay.

The lawyer also brings his wife with him, so naturally the place he lives in has to be more particular.

Master Zhang nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, I can live anywhere."

Having said that, he still went out to find Xia and see where she wanted to live.

Anyway, since Sun Shan was no longer living in the master bedroom row, he would wait for his relatives to move in. No one would move in that direction.

Sun Shan said to Gui Ge'er, "Gui Ge'er, bring me some writing brush and ink. I want to write a letter."

After a pause, he ordered, "Go to the escort agency and ask Escort Master Wei when we will return to Chenzhou Prefecture. Ask them to help bring the letter back home."

There are two ways to send letters now, one is official and the other is private.

The official method is not only fast but also safe, as it is delivered through post stations. However, this method can only be used if an official document is delivered together with a private message.

As Sun Shan had just arrived, he did not use the official courier service first. He took advantage of the presence of Wei Biaotou and asked them to help send a letter back to report his safety.

Gui Ge'er hurriedly prepared writing materials for Sun Shan, and then hurried to the escort agency to find Chief Wei to inquire about the situation.

Although he really didn't want to have anything to do with the Wei escorts, they were the only ones who could help him here at the moment.

After Sun Shan finished writing the letter, he walked out and finally saw Butler Wang. He saw Butler Wang lying on a recliner and couldn't help but wonder where the recliner came from.

Butler Wang was also very happy to see Sun Shan, and he wanted to get up, but he couldn't.

Sun Shan hurriedly stopped him: "Butler Wang, don't move, take good care of your injuries."

His face finally had some color and he looked much more energetic than before. It seemed that he was recovering well at the Wang family.

Steward Wang said, "Master, my waist is fine. The doctor said it will get better after some rest."

Butler Wang felt very sorry that he did not see Sun Shan ride his horse into the city to become a county magistrate.

Oh, it was all because of those bandits. They caused him to miss the wonderful side of the master.

Sun Shan nodded and said with relief, "I've been recuperating at Wang's house these days. Are you okay?"

Steward Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, the Wang family takes good care of us. The doctor we hired is also very capable."

After a pause, he continued, "Master Wang's legs have also improved a lot. He will definitely get better after some rest."

Butler Wang told Sun Shan about their experience of recuperating at the Wang family. In short, the Wang family was very respectful and caring to them.

After a pause, he asked, "Master, should we pay for the medical expenses?"

He was taken care of for several days, and took a lot of medicine. He also brought back a lot of medicine, all of which was paid for by the Wang family.

Butler Wang didn't know whether he should pay the medical expenses.

Sun Shan said without thinking: "No need. We saved Master Wang this time, so it's only right for them to pay for his medical expenses. Even if we give them, they won't take it."

The behind-the-scenes owner of the No. 1 teahouse in Yuanlu County is the Wang family. Such a wealthy family would not be short of the medical expenses.

Since they didn't mention it, Sun Shan naturally didn't mention it either.

What's more, it was really Wang Jijun who provoked the bandits. They suffered the disaster completely without any cause. Sun Shan felt that he was very kind by not asking Wang Jijun to compensate for their physical and mental losses.
