Chapter 2029 Seeking Help From the County Magistrate

Changyang Town Post House.

"Father!" Huang Shao and his men hurried in and quickly found Magistrate Huang drinking tea in the hall.

"Shao'er is back?" Seeing him entering the hall, County Magistrate Huang showed a kind smile, "How are things going?"

"Father, please save Jun'er!" Huang Shao knelt down in front of him and kowtowed hard, his head hitting the floor with a thud.

Magistrate Huang was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up: "Why is Shaoer like this?"

"Father," Huang Shao raised his head, pleading, "my brother was unjustly imprisoned. As a result, Danyang recruited troops. General Yu Cheng was unreasonable. He came to Qimu Town and kidnapped all the prisoners without saying a word. Consigned to the army. My brother Jun'er is among them. I beg my foster father to save Jun'er!"

On the day Diao Jun was taken away, Huang Shao and his men chased him for a long time, but failed to catch up. Due to heavy rain, they could only stay in Qimu Town for one night.

The next day, he rushed back to Changyang Town to ask Magistrate Huang for help.

Listening to his adopted son Huang Shao's detailed description of the matter, Magistrate Huang's face became a little ugly. After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke: "Shao'er, it's not that my adoptive father won't help you. That General Zhechong, Yu Cheng, has a distinguished status, and he is a descendant of the generals of our Qi Kingdom. Even if my adoptive father comes to visit me, I'm afraid he won't take him seriously. More Needless to say, asking him for someone is difficult~"

"Father, my son and Diao Jun have been dependent on each other since childhood, just like brothers. We must not see him go to the battlefield, there will be death or death!" Huang Shao kowtowed hard, making a thumping sound, "Please also ask the foster father to save Jun'er!"

"Get up, manly man, don't kowtow!" County Magistrate Huang felt sorry for him and quickly helped him up again, stopping him from kneeling down anymore. After thinking about it carefully, he sighed, "Shao'er, is your brother really so important?"

"Jun'er is like the child's biological brother!" Huang Shao nodded quickly, "If he can be rescued, he will also be your adopted son. We brothers will honor our adopted father in our lives!"

"This..." County Magistrate Huang was a little moved. As a childless man, he must be very happy to have two adopted sons to support him until the end of his life.

However, it is really impossible to seize someone from General Yu Cheng!

unless......

After thinking for a while, Magistrate Huang gritted his teeth: "In this case, my adoptive father is willing to risk everything! I will soon send someone to send my collection of famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as some gold and silver accumulated over the years, to Danyang, hoping to bribe General Zhechong's Mansion. Go to the housekeeper. If anyone from the General's Mansion can help,

Maybe there is a silver lining. "

"Thank you, foster father!" Huang Shao saluted gratefully.

"Come here!" Magistrate Huang nodded and shouted outside.

"Father, Shao'er wants to go to Danyang in person and bring Jun'er back." Huang Shao said quickly.

Magistrate Huang looked at Huang Shao with a firm face. When he heard the footsteps, he turned to look at his confidant who came in from the outside, and thought for a moment: "Okay! Zhu Huan!"

"Master." The confidant took a step forward, bent down and bowed to the end.

"Go and take out my treasured map of the mountains and seas of Master Wang, take out most of the gold and silver I have accumulated over the years, and go to Danyang with the young master to redeem people!" Huang County Magistrate ordered, "We must try to attack the general's palace through the attack. Go to the housekeeper and ask him to speak kindly to General Zhechong, you know?"

Zhu Huan, his confidant, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly replied: "I understand, sir!"

"Thank you, foster father! Then I'll prepare and leave as soon as possible." Huang Shao was impatient.

"Wait!" Magistrate Huang raised his right hand to stop him.

"What are your foster father's orders?"

"Shao'er, let Zhu Huan prepare first." County Magistrate Huang said, "My foster father has another important thing to explain to you. Zhu Huan, prepare everything first!"

"Yes!" The confidants bowed out respectfully, leaving only the father and son in the hall.

Huang Shao stood in front of Magistrate Huang with his head lowered, looking particularly well-behaved.

"Shao'er, when you go to Danyang to redeem someone, your adoptive father will definitely help you with all his strength." Magistrate Huang said hesitantly, "But... my adoptive father also has something very important to do here, and you need to pass by Qimu Town. It will be done soon.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Shao replied without hesitation: "No matter what my adoptive father orders, Shao'er will do his best no matter what."

"Very good!" County Magistrate Huang stood up happily and patted him on the shoulder, "That's it, my adoptive father is a breeze when he is the county magistrate, and he has never been greedy for people's wealth and wealth. But in officialdom, there is little need for management, and there is no such money. It’s very difficult! Especially now, in order to let you redeem someone, your adoptive father has to spend all his savings. It won’t be easy in the future!”

Huang Shao was stunned for a moment, then bowed: "My adoptive father only gives orders. As long as it is not murder, arson, or any violation of law or discipline, Shao'er will not hesitate."

"The foster father is a county parent, how can he let his children commit murder, arson, and violate laws and disciplines?" County Magistrate Huang frowned slightly, showing displeasure.

"The kid said something wrong." Huang Shao quickly corrected him.

"Shao'er, an official like my adoptive father needs a solid backing to avoid being transferred and even have a chance to be promoted." County Magistrate Huang said seriously, "And this backing is money. It just so happened that when you went to Qimu Town yesterday, One day, a wealthy man from the town came to propose marriage to his adoptive father, saying that he wanted to marry his adoptive father, which was a so-called marriage of interest. Granted the authority and benefits to do business. In the past, my adoptive father would have been unable to do so, but now that I have you, I can agree to it.”

"Ah?" Huang Shao was stunned and in disbelief, "Father, I..."

"Child, you have not married yet because of your poor family, which is also a concern for your adoptive father." County Magistrate Huang said, "You should listen to your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. However, your adoptive father will not make things difficult for you. If you don't want to get married for the time being, your adoptive father will not force you. Think about it carefully and give your adoptive father an answer before leaving!"

"This..." Huang Shao's heart was in a mess, very confused.

Qiao Xi's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind. Since he saw her face, his heart was filled with it and there was no room for another person.

He wanted to refuse, but remembered that his adoptive father took out valuable calligraphy and paintings and a lot of gold and silver without hesitation, just because he wanted to save Jun'er.

He treated himself like this, should he accept it with peace of mind and not help his adoptive father at all?

But except Qiao Xi, he really couldn't accommodate anyone in his heart.

However, his adoptive father treated him like his own son. Should he turn a blind eye to his difficulties? If so, how could he take his adoptive father's money to save Jun'er? The more he thought about it, the more tangled he became, and the more painful he felt. Huang Shao's face was quite ugly.

"Jun'er, if you don't want to, your godfather won't force you. Even if the marriage fails, your godfather can still stay in the officialdom for a few more years..."

"Godfather, I..." Huang Shao struggled even more in his heart, and it was really difficult to make a decision.

"Forget it, it seems that you are not happy." County Magistrate Huang sighed slightly, "That's fine, this time you go there, you can stop by the Qiao family in Qimu Town and ask Mr. Qiao to cancel this marriage in person..."

"Qiao family?!" Huang Shao suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, "Godfather, which Qiao family are you talking about?"
