After a bowl of hot porridge was eaten, everyone felt that their limbs were much warmer. The old Yicheng's nephew had already packed up a room and now he was sitting here to drink porridge.

Chu Ci asked something intently, and asked, "Old sir, it is logical that there is a postmaster and four postmasters in each inn, plus a groom, a veterinarian and others. Why did he come here today but no one else is seen.

Woolen cloth?"

The old Yicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said nervously: "They... have something to do today, and they will come back soon tomorrow."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows. You know, in addition to being a place where passers-by officials can rest, the inn also needs to pass on official documents, military information and the palace newspapers issued by the court. Those people are not here. If they encounter emergency military information, wouldn't it be.

Will the opportunity be delayed?

Facing Chu Ci's somewhat questioning expression, the old postmaster's nephew helped him to rescue him. He said, "Sir, you don't know anything. In fact, there was almost no one coming in our postmaster two years ago.

If there wasn't one in each county, I'm afraid the whole place would have to be demolished."

"Even if there is no one, there will be a court newspaper and official documents to be passed on. If there is an emergency military situation, will the county magistrate be afraid of delaying the opportunity?"

The nephew of the Yicheng laughed: "Sir, how many people have you met along the way?"

Chu Ci was asked a little inexplicably, why did he go to count people? He thought for a while and said, "There are not many people, but they are not a handful of numbers. I wonder why the guy suddenly mentioned this?"

The nephew smiled again: "The villain is just solving the doubts for the adults. Our road is an official road, and it is well-built. In the past, there are many merchants coming and going, and you can meet someone in just a few steps. It's so lively.

A few years ago, a new wharf was opened in the next county, and both merchants and others went to the water route. Even the official documents of our county magistrate were sent to the neighboring county to take a boat, so naturally there was no need for this.

It's a hotel."

"The county magistrate doesn't pay attention to the inn. My uncle begged many times and handed over many notes, but he didn't see the money from him to repair the house. Those passing officials shook their heads when they saw the house. They would rather walk a few more miles.

I went to the inn and stayed in, and I didn’t want to come to us unless I was particularly poor - I didn’t mean to say that you guys, you were obviously from wealthy families!”

Chu Ci smiled and nodded, expressing his indifference. Through this man's words, he understood that under the strong competitiveness of the waterway, the inn was defeated miserably.

"What did the others do if they don't guard the inn?"

The man was about to speak, but the old official dragged him. The man stopped talking and took a few sips of porridge with a bowl.

Chu Ci knew that the old Yicheng wanted to help them get careless. However, as long as anyone with a discerning eye, he should be able to see that even if he cleaned the room, he would have to find his nephew. It was obvious that the others didn't live there at all.

Here, maybe I don’t care about the inn at all.

"Young man, don't be nervous. I'm just a passing man, just a little curious. As for the others, as the saying goes, everyone does their own duties, I'm not in charge of this matter." Chu Ci smiled calmly,

Impress them not to worry so much.

His words made the old Yicheng feel a little relieved. He said, "This shouldn't be told to others, but since the adults want to know, the young man said it. Those of them, who have the ability, go to the county government office for other things.

When I was a local worker, I would go to make a living if I was almost there. For example, the groom went to pick up guests. Everyone only gathered together for a few days every year when the people from the government office came down to patrol."

Chu Ci didn't know what to say. The county government is obviously using these people to get a job. It's a trick to fool around. Just one inn, the money may not be too much, but it's also a lot to come to a few more of them.

A considerable income.

"You two counties are adjacent to each other. They have built a dock. Why don't you build one too?"

"How can the government have money to build this? This was paid by a business master in their county. I heard that his business is very big, and even the rich people in the provincial capital can be ranked among the top ones.

"The old postmaster shook his head. According to the temper of their county magistrate, he could not even think that he could take out a penny. He was the postmaster and hadn't seen any money for two or three months.

"Yes, the last time he paid for the construction of the dock, I went there to work! I spent fifty cents a day and had two meals. Don't be so generous when I took action! I also heard that he was an orphan for the sake of

Repaying the grace of his neighbors for raising him, he paid for money to build a wharf. Now, as soon as the wharf was built, their county's business became prosperous!" The old nephew's words showed a little sourness, it was obvious that

The two counties were similar back then, but now they are much better than them. It’s a pity that the master was not born in their village.

When Chu Ci heard their description, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the master. After his career was successful, he gave back to the villagers, and it sounded like a great charity.

"I wonder who the master's surname is? Chu admires his actions. If he sees you tomorrow, he will inevitably come forward and disturb you."

When the old Yicheng heard him ask, he frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, his nephew thought it out: "It seems that he is called Zhao... Zhao Kuan!"

Zhao Kuan and Chu Ci recited a few words silently, and then wrote them in his heart. Maybe he can also help and support education from this person in the future.

The next day, Chu Ci and his friends cleaned up and said goodbye to the old Yicheng. After the carriage was on the road, Fu Ming'an was a little uneasy in the carriage. His body always twisted unconsciously, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"Ming'an, what's wrong with you?" Chu Ci asked.

Fu Mingan blinked his eyes, revealing a little pitiful meaning, and his voice also made him cry: "Sir... I'm so itchy." After that, he rubbed his back against the carriage, but the cotton coat on his body was too thick.

It looks a bit uncomfortable if you don't get the right position.

Chu Ci was a little worried and asked Fu Ming'an to stand up and show him. After Fu Ming'an got up, Chu Ci lifted his shirt and saw that there were several red bumps on his back, which made him feel hot.

Chang Xiao looked carefully for a while and said, "Maybe it was because my bedding yesterday that I haven't seen the sun for a long time. There were small insects crawling inside, which made Ming'an itch."

When Chu Ci thought of the little bug, he suddenly felt that his body was itchy and he was uncomfortable all over. Fu Mingan's eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't fall off when he hung it on his eyelashes.

"The bottles of ointment that Dr. Li prepared for me are under the seat. Chang Xiao, go and look through it to see if there is anything inside that can relieve itching?" Chu Ci said, while gently helping Fu Mingan catch itching with his hands.

Chang Xiao bent down and searched for a while, and finally took out a small green porcelain bottle with its function written on it, which contained itchy relief.

Chu Ci quickly helped him apply all the red bumps on his back. As soon as the slightly cool ointment was on his body, Fu Mingan stopped making trouble and lay obediently on Chu Ci's lap waiting for him to apply medicine.

After a day, Chu Ci applied it for him three times before the bumps on his back stopped the itchy feeling that was piercing.

When the sky got darker, Chu Ci and his friends came to the near the city of Nan'an Prefecture, and the local inn was not far ahead. Zhang Hu pulled the reins and asked the horse to stop, then shouted inside: "Master, we still

Go to the inn to sleep?"

"Continue to walk forward, get off the bus and find an inn when you arrive in the city." Chu Ci didn't dare to sleep in the inn anymore. He would rather spend some money than stay in the inn anymore. They were better, and they were spoiled like Fu Ming'an.

Big little dolls can easily be infected by those bacteria.

I have to say that Chu Ci's decision was right. In the next few days, Fu Mingan never had red bumps on his body.

Chu Ci and his team finally arrived outside the provincial capital of Nanmin Province after noon. Today is the last day of office written in the official document.

After entering the city, Chu Ci asked Zhang Hu to go directly to the Governor's Office. After Zhang Hu asked about the route, he didn't even take any detours and drove the carriage outside the Governor's Office.

After sorting out his clothes, Chu Ci got off the carriage, took his official documents, official seals and uniforms, and was stopped before he could even reach the door.

"The important area of ​​Futai Yamen, ordinary people are not allowed to enter!"

Facing these dedicated yamen workers, Chu Ci stopped, informed them of his purpose, and took out official documents to show them, asking them to help inform them.

These people heard Chu Ci say that he was an official who came to serve, so they came to the Governor's Office to pay a visit. There were also official documents stamped with the Ministry of Personnel. They did not dare to delay, so they went to report after a greeting.

After a while, the yamen who went to report came out. Chu Ci was about to follow in, but the man said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, you can't go in yet. Please hand over the official documents you carried with you.

I will present it to Lord Futai to personally review it.”

"..." Chu Ci was a little unhappy. What does it mean to have a personal look? Could it be that he still pretended to be a fake? And can't he let him go in and look at it again?

Seeing that Chu Ci's face was unhappy, the man did not urge him, but just waited quietly for Chu Ci's decision. Chu Ci finally took out the official document and handed it to the yamen officer. Fortunately, his Mr. Xu had already given him a precaution before.

If you have a needle, isn’t it just a threat? Just bear it!
