Yang Rui memorized the location of the bandits in his mind. He thought to himself that he would need to bring some men to search this area in the future. There might be a bandit NPC campsite here. If he could find it, it would be very valuable!
Unknowingly, Yang Rui rode on the carriages of "A pint of incense" and rushed out of the mountains. In less than four hours, they had arrived at Juping County. Yang Rui was amazed by the speed.
The map in the game was a hundred times larger than the map in the real world. The distance from Juping County to the mountain village was more than 1,000 kilometers. Although the movement speed in the game had increased significantly, Yang Rui still needed half a day to walk there! In comparison, the carriage was much faster!
When they arrived at "A pint of incense" Inn, Yang Rui sat down with Manager Wang and chatted for a while. They mainly talked about the current supply of sweet potatoes. After that, Yang Rui could not help but ask about the County Magistrate's Mansion.
"Looks like Village Chief Blazing Sun has been waiting for a long time." Manager Wang took a sip of tea as he glanced at Butler Zhao. "However, he needs to find a suitable time to visit the County Magistrate's Mansion."
"Manager, this time I came here with Village Chief Blazing Sun. We had a great chat along the way. Why don't I bring Village Chief Blazing Sun to the County Magistrate's Mansion? It would be best if we can meet the County Magistrate. If we can't, let Village Chief Blazing Sun stay at" A pint of incense "for a few days. There will always be a chance. This way, Village Chief Blazing Sun won't have to worry about waiting. "Butler Zhao took the initiative to agree to bring Yang Rui to the County Magistrate's Mansion.
Butler Zhao's actions were mostly due to the 100 silver coins that Yang Rui had given him. NPCs rarely treated players so warmly and thoughtfully! One had to admit that money was not spent in vain!
"That's fine too!" After a short hesitation, CEO Wang continued to sip the tea, "Let Steward Zhao take the head of Lieyang Village there first. No matter what, Steward Zhao often visits the county magistrate's mansion. If the county magistrate has nothing important to deal with, he should receive the head of Lieyang Village!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang!" Yang Rui stood up and bowed. After saying goodbye to Manager Wang, he and Steward Zhao went to the County Magistrate's Mansion.
Since Steward Zhao was accompanying him, he still had to take a carriage to the county magistrate's manor. According to Steward Zhao's words, they couldn't fall behind in terms of attire. Otherwise, the first impression they gave others would be much worse, and it was very likely that others would look down on them!
There were only Yang Rui and Shopkeeper Zhao in the carriage. Shopkeeper Zhao didn't forget to remind Yang Rui that Yang Rui needed to give a gift when he entered the County Magistrate's Manor. He also gave a standard of no less than 500 silver taels! It would be best if he could give some unique and rare items!
Naturally, Yang Rui was prepared for this. He still had the few Level 9 items that he had with him when he came to Juping County the last time. However, after hearing Steward Zhao's detailed explanation, he was still very happy. Before this, Yang Rui had never given a gift in the game. In fact, he had never given one in real life. Therefore, after Steward Zhao's guidance, he understood the knack of it quite well. Naturally, he felt more at ease.
"Hey, isn't this A pint of incense's carriage? May I know which shopkeeper wants to enter the County Magistrate's Manor? "
Unknowingly, the carriage had arrived at the entrance of the County Magistrate's Manor. The interrogating voice outside the carriage was very clear. However, the interrogating voice was very polite. It was obvious that the interrogating voice was meant for the people inside the carriage.
Steward Zhao was very familiar with this. When he heard the soldier outside the carriage, he lifted the curtain and showed his face. Then, he handed over some silver taels and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Here's some tea for you guys."
"Hey! Isn't this Steward Zhao?! Thank you! You're welcome! " The soldier outside the carriage hurriedly took the silver taels from Steward Zhao and quickly let the carriage pass.
This fully showed that Steward Zhao's face, or "A pint of incense", was very useful in the County Magistrate's Manor. Steward Zhao was only a steward, but when the soldier at the entrance spoke of him, he became a "shopkeeper"! It was obvious that these soldiers had received a lot of benefits from him!
Yang Rui understood that only people with a certain status could enter the County Magistrate's Manor! Previously, Yang Rui had also come to the County Magistrate's Manor alone and paid a lot of money to a few gatekeepers. However, they refused to accept it and even wanted to arrest him!
Soon, the carriage arrived at the second entrance of the County Magistrate's Manor. Steward Zhao pulled Yang Rui down the carriage together. Because further inside was the County Magistrate's Manor's inner mansion, the carriage could only go this far.
As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a person drinking tea alone under the shade of a tree at the inner courtyard's entrance from afar! This person's clothes were very simple, but his temperament was not like that of an ordinary old man. Compared to Steward Zhao, he seemed to be even more outstanding.
"Steward Wei! How have you been? You're still in such a good mood! "
"Oh, Steward Zhao is here?"
"Yes! May I know if Liu County Lieutenant is in the manor today? A few days ago, Steward Wang came by once and recommended a young talent to Liu County Lieutenant. Today, he brought him over for Liu County Lieutenant to meet … "
"…"
After Steward Zhao walked up to Steward Wei and chatted for a while, Steward Wei only glanced at Yang Rui and ignored him. He then led Steward Zhao and Yang Rui to the inner mansion. This made it impossible for Yang Rui, who had been wanting to "express" himself, to find a chance to do so!
The two stewards were not young, and they chatted along the way. Naturally, they walked at a leisurely pace. After several turns, the two stewards finally brought Yang Rui to the study in the inner mansion of the County Magistrate's Manor. After Steward Wei went in to report, Yang Rui was brought in.
"Milord, this person is the young talent that A pint of incense mentioned last time. This subordinate will take his leave first!"
After Steward Wei introduced Yang Rui, he bowed and left. On the other hand, Liu County Lieutenant's attention was focused on the book on the table. It was as if he did not hear Steward Wei's words and did not notice Yang Rui's appearance!
Focus on official business? Unreliable! Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and decided to interrupt the County Lieutenant.
Although Yang Rui had a rough impression of this Liu County Lieutenant through Steward Zhao's introduction along the way, his initial judgment was that the County Lieutenant's current demeanor might be faked. It might not be good to interrupt him directly. However, since he was faking it, he must be very tired. Wouldn't it save the County Lieutenant a lot of energy if he interrupted him earlier?
"This commoner Blazing Sun pays his respects to Liu County Lieutenant!" Yang Rui clasped his hands and said word by word.
The reason why Yang Rui slowed down was because he did not want to create an awkward silence. What if this Liu County Lieutenant did not accept his signal? Yang Rui still had room to say a few more words!
As expected, Liu County Lieutenant was still reading his book seriously and did not respond at all!
"This commoner has nothing to show his respect for this visit. I have brought some small trinkets for milord. Do you like them?" Seeing this, Yang Rui could only take out an item from his backpack. It was the grade nine white wolf pelt that he had prepared last time.
As expected, Liu County Lieutenant had some reaction. He glanced at Yang Rui's position and nodded slightly. This was the first time he greeted Yang Rui.
"Milord, this commoner obtained this grade nine white wolf pelt by chance. I hope milord will like it."
