Chapter 1129: Suffering Alone is worse than Suffering Together

Chapter 1129: Suffering Alone is worse than Suffering Together

County Magistrate Wang blinked and wanted to say no!

Don't ask why, your instinct is to say no.

And why did Xingyazi, this traitor, reveal that the Wang family has a holiday villa in Chenzhou Prefecture?

A kid is a kid, he was coaxed out of here.

If Wang Jiaxing knew that County Magistrate Wang thought this way, he would definitely cry out for injustice.

Lord Sun asked him whether he should stay at a hostel or an inn when he went to Chenzhou Prefecture to take part in the college entrance examination.

He didn't stay in the inn at all, but in the Wang family's villa, so he could only tell the truth.

Wang Jiaxing felt that there was no need to lie and thought that Lord Sun cared about him. Little did he know that Lord Sun was just trying to trick him.

County Magistrate Wang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Sir, our Wang family does have a small courtyard in Chenzhou Prefecture. Haha, Xingyazi is really close to you and tells you everything."

Sun Shan nodded and said in agreement, "Jiaxing is a good student. I always like scholars and I can talk to him easily."

County Magistrate Wang:.......

I don't see what you two have to talk about. You and Xingyazi have completely different personalities.

County Magistrate Wang didn't believe Sun Shan's lies.

Sun Shan continued, "Well, as the governor of Yuanlu, I am worried about the students of Yuanlu, so I arranged for a few of my guards to group them together and escort them to Chenzhou Prefecture."

County Magistrate Wang had known about this for a long time.

I heard that my cousin was also planning to entrust the escort to the Sun family guards, and said that the Sun family guards had wiped out mountain bandits and were very ruthless, so having them escort him would be much safer than going with the escort team.

My cousin even made a special trip to visit them and ask for their opinions.

My father agreed without hesitation, and even Jun Yazi, who was still recuperating, nodded repeatedly, saying that it would be better to let Xing Yazi follow Sun Shan's guards.

He also said that only after seeing how powerful the Sun family guards were, did he know how powerful they were.

With Jun Yazi's words, the cousin was even more determined to hand over Xing Yazi to the Sun family guards.

I went to Teacher Deng happily to register.

When County Magistrate Wang heard this, his first feeling was that Sun Shan wanted to buy the students' hearts.

After hearing about the free escort, I became more determined about this idea.

Nowadays, there is no scholar in Yuanlu who does not praise Sun Shan. If someone does not praise him, he must be a dark person at heart.

This Lord Sun looks dark and honest, but he is actually very cunning and is only seeking fame and reputation.

Humph, I’ve never heard of a county government escorting students to take the imperial examinations, but Sun Shan did it.

It seems that he wants to take the "wise" path to promotion.

County Magistrate Wang's eyes rolled around, thinking about how to refuse openly.

Only the Wang family members live in his big villa, so outsiders are not allowed to live there.

Besides, it can’t accommodate so many people.

What if 50 students try to get in? No, we must refuse.

Just as he was about to speak, Sun Shan began again: "Wang County Magistrate, I am the chief official of Yuanlu County, and so are you. I will send guards to escort you, so why not let the student stay in your villa? You won't stay for many days, only about a month and a half."

County Magistrate Wang is about to vomit blood. Isn’t half a month enough?

So what counts as long?

County Magistrate Wang hesitated and said with embarrassment: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to lend my house to the students, but..."

He paused in a solemn manner and continued, "There are 50 students from Yuanlu County taking the entrance exam this time. My little villa can't accommodate so many people. I don't know who to give it to. My Lord, the problem is not the lack of space but the inequality. It's impossible for some people to be able to live there while others can't."

Sun Shan agreed and said, "Mr. Wang, you are right. Either everyone should be allowed to live here, or no one should be allowed to live here. I have already thought about this."

A few days ago, Jiaxing's father came to see me and happened to hear that I had sent someone to escort the students to Chenzhou Prefecture. Jiaxing is a good man, and his father is a kind man. He immediately suggested that his family also has a small courtyard in Chenzhou Prefecture, where some students can live. "

County Magistrate Wang:.......

It was a bolt from the blue. How come he didn't know that his cousin had suggested letting the students live in his small courtyard?

I just met him a few days ago, why didn't he mention this at all!

Originally, Wang Jiaxing was going to Chenzhou Prefecture to take part in the imperial examination and should have stayed at his house.

It just so happened that County Magistrate Wang's villa was next to his eldest aunt, and this eldest aunt liked the scholars in the Wang family very much, so Wang Jiaxing moved into County Magistrate Wang's villa, deliberately to please his aunt.

The entire Wang family became wealthy because of a daughter who married into a wealthy family as a concubine, and now this concubine is the actual mistress of the family.

The Wang family must have chosen the right dishes to eat and try to please the guests.

Sun Shan looked at County Magistrate Wang affectionately and continued, "I heard from Jiaxing that County Magistrate Wang's villa in Chenzhou Prefecture is quite large and can accommodate quite a few people. Together with Jiaxing's small villa, it can accommodate quite a few people."

After a pause, he continued, "I don't think everyone will live in the place we arrange. Many students have relatives in Chenzhou Prefecture, or they like to stay in inns. We will arrange two villas, which will definitely be enough for them."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at County Magistrate Wang and said, "County Magistrate Wang, am I right?"

County Magistrate Wang seemed to say: You are wrong! I don't agree.

But he thought that his cousin had already agreed to lend him the villa. If he didn't lend it to him, wouldn't he be worse than his cousin?

Currently, as the most powerful person in the Wang family, he is even worse than a brother from the next room.

County Magistrate Wang had already imagined a lot of gossip coming his way.

Oh, my cousin, you are so confused. Why did you borrow the villa?

County Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, then he thought that maybe it was not that his cousin was stupid, but that Sun Shan was too cunning. He had lured his cousin, especially by using a traitor to trick his cousin, which made it easier for him to be fooled.

Just like now, he had to join in. If he refused, tomorrow's rumors and gossip would surely overwhelm him.

County Magistrate Wang covered his chest and said with a guilty conscience: "Sir, you provide the guards and escort, and our Wang family provides accommodation. We all want more students from Yuanlu to enter the imperial examinations, and we should do our best. Sir, just do as you say."

County Magistrate Wang gritted his teeth as he spoke these words.

He wished he could turn into a zombie and bite Sun Shan's neck to death.

Sun Shan pretended not to see County Magistrate Wang's dissatisfaction and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Wang, you are such a kind person. I would like to thank you on behalf of my students."

After arranging the escort team and accommodation, all that’s left is a vehicle to carry the people.

There are so many officials in the entire yamen, it is impossible that only Sun Shan and County Cheng Wang are selflessly dedicated.

The students are from Sunshan and even more so from Yuanlu County.

So Sun Shan summoned Wu Zhubo, Liang Xunjian, and the heads of the six departments one by one, with only one purpose: to borrow a car!

Those who had horse-drawn carriages donated them, those who had mule-drawn carriages donated them, and those who had donkey-drawn carriages donated them.

As for the ox cart, it is better not to donate it. The ox is precious and should be used for farming.

Wu Zhubo and others:.......

What on earth was going on? To commandeer their car?

Can I refuse?

Obviously it cannot be refused.

Sun Shan lured them with benefits, explained the truth to them, moved them with emotions, threatened them with power, taught them how to fish, and brought them to justice.

Through coercion and inducement, all the officials were forced to agree.

When County Magistrate Wang saw this, he instantly felt relieved.

It is better to suffer with others than to suffer alone. When everyone suffers together, your mentality will be balanced instantly.
