Chapter 309: A Day Without Gossip Feels Uncomfortable New
Thank You again Shaq for kofi and completing my goal.The burly man was overjoyed as he stepped forward to greet them. “Why has the magistrate come here as well? And this gentleman beside you…?”
The county magistrate squinted his triangular eyes and grinned at the burly man. “Qi Dashi, your ancestors must be smiling down on you! This is Lord Xu, who has come all the way from the capital. He holds the position of Attendant Censor! The imperial court has heard of your excellent farming skills and has specifically summoned you to cultivate a new type of crop!”
“The imperial court?”
Qi Dashi’s heart nearly leaped into his throat. His mind went blank as he repeated in disbelief, “Summon… me?”
The magistrate laughed heartily. “That’s right! And not just you—your whole family will go to the capital to enjoy a life of fortune! Do you not believe the words of your own magistrate?”
This county magistrate was a good man. Whenever someone in the village needed to travel through the mountains, he would lend them his old ox to pull their cart, sparing them from having to walk dozens of miles. When he had the time, he would even help villagers move heavy loads himself.
However, his governance was nothing extraordinary—just a kind-hearted but mediocre official.
