Chapter 2958 Avoid

Bai Shan slipped back into the small courtyard through the small door connecting the backyard of the county government office, and then slipped out through the side door to the medical office.

Zhou Man had no new patients today. The county government official had come to change the dressing for his fractured bones while arresting bandits. At this time, he was sitting on a chair and peeking at the Western cakes drying medicinal herbs in the yard.

Bai Shan slipped in with Daji and saw that he couldn't take his eyes away, so he straightened his clothes and stepped forward, extending his hand to wave in front of his eyes.

When the yamen officer came back to his senses, he was startled when he saw Bai Shan. He was about to stand up and salute, but when he raised his buttocks, he discovered that one of his legs was lame and it was a bit inconvenient to stand up.

Bai Shan stopped his movements, looked at the cakes in the yard, and asked, "Does it look good?"

The officer's cheeks instantly turned red, and the tips of his ears turned red, but he still nodded, "Okay, it looks good."

Bai Shan looked him up and down and asked with some suspicion: "Are you married?"

The officer's face turned even redder, he shook his head and looked at Bai Shan expectantly.

Bai Shan looked a little better, but after looking him up and down, he shook his head and said, "It's a bit difficult. Western cakes seem to like good-looking ones too."

Yamen:……

Bai Shan reached out and patted his shoulder, "Although it's a bit difficult, you can try hard."

After saying that, he turned around to find Zhou Man.

The yamen servant watched eagerly as the county magistrate went to the backyard.

Man Bao was weighing medicine with Wen Tiandong, and they decided to make some commonly used pills for later use.

Wen Tiandong was not very skilled in making pills. After all, he only learned how to make pills in the Imperial Medical Office, and there were not many opportunities to actually do it.

Zhou Man has a little more talent than him, but he is not as good as shopkeeper Lao Zheng, or even as good as Zheng Gu.

She sighed while doing it, "It would be great if Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao were here. They are the fastest and most skilled in making pills."

Wen Tiandong: "...Sir, I can also learn."

Zhou Man nodded and encouraged him. She was slightly surprised when Bai Shan came in. She looked up at the sun first and said, "It's not time to eat yet."

Bai Shan found a small stool nearby and sat down. He pulled a medicine grinder to help them grind medicine and said, "I'm here to hide."

Zhou Man was surprised, "You actually have someone you need to hide from in Beihai County? Who is it?"

Bai Shan: "...a member of Governor Guo."

Because Wen Tiandong was there, Bai Shan didn't say why he was hiding, and Zhou Man tried hard to resist the urge to ask.

It wasn't until Wen Tiandong finished processing the medicinal materials on hand and took the list to the pharmacy to select other medicinal materials that she sat down next to Bai Shan and looked at him with bright eyes.

Bai Shan sighed and said, "I don't know what price the Song family paid, but they were able to ask Governor Guo to intercede and let me release the Song people."

He said: "Now we have let the Song people go, and then we should make peace with the Song family for me."

Zhou Man was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Taking bribes?"

Bai Shan glanced outside and said to her without sincerity: "Keep your voice down."

Zhou Man asked: "Then do you want to reconcile with the Song family?"

Bai Shan said meaningfully: "It depends on what price the Song family is willing to pay, but no matter whether the Song family and I reconcile or not, since the Song people have committed a crime, they should be punished, otherwise they will set a precedent here.

If someone commits a crime and thinks that he can avoid punishment by becoming a governor, then how can I be a county magistrate?"

Zhou Man: "You sentenced Song Min to three months in prison. You can't hide for three months, right?"

Bai Shan tilted his head and thought for a while, "The prince should be arriving soon, right?"

"What if he, like us when we went to the Western Regions, wandered and inspected all the way? The road from the capital to Qingzhou is not that short."

Bai Shan: "...That's not the case. Your Highness will not be so unreliable."

That being said, Bai Shan was actually not very sure himself, so he slowly stopped grinding the medicine, and he was troubled, "If I write to urge His Highness the Crown Prince, will it appear that I am eager for quick success?"

Zhou Man nodded affirmatively, "Yes!"

Bai Shan sighed, "Then we can only hide for the time being. I'll hide from him for two or three days. If it doesn't work, I'll think of a way."

He even secretly thought of a bad idea and lowered his voice: "Do you want Magistrate Lu to cause trouble for Governor Guo?"

Zhou Man: "...Can Magistrate Lu listen to you?"

That must not be the case. For Magistrate Lu, it is more important to have a good relationship with Governor Guo. He will definitely not quarrel with Governor Guo just to attract attention for him.

Bai Shan sighed and whispered: "It is indeed right for us to cooperate with Magistrate Lu in advance."

Zhou Man nodded with deep approval.

At this time, Governor Guo's envoy was persuaded to leave the county government office, but he did not go far. He was dragged to a restaurant by Prime Minister Fang to have a drink and dinner.

After lunch, he took the letter of approval from Fang County Cheng and went back to resume his duties.

He didn't think that Bai Shan would not agree. After all, Song Min's crime was a trivial matter, and he was only sentenced to three months in prison. It was such a simple thing to give Governor Guo some face even if he was open to the public.

Moreover, Governor Guo was not only Bai Shan's superior, but the two families were also relatives, so it was even more foolproof. So he rushed back to Qingzhou City to resume his duties and told Governor Guo that everything was fine.

Governor Guo accepted the Song family's things with peace of mind, and then said with a smile: "After a while, when County Magistrate Bai takes a rest, I will leave a message for him and invite him to Qingzhou City for a drink, and I will mediate between the two of them.

It’s done.”

The staff also felt that there was no problem, and congratulated Governor Guo with a smile, "If Beihai County can be stabilized, there will be no problem with the production of official salt. Your Excellency should take the first credit."

"Hey, you can't say that. Magistrate Bai also paid a lot of attention. He governs Beihai County, so the first credit is naturally his."

Magistrate Lu knew about this two days later. Still because Bai Shan refused to release him or change the sentence, the Song family had to go to the governor's house to hint. Guo governor was so angry that he smashed his cup and was alarmed.

I just reported the long history of leaving and found out accidentally.

Magistrate Lu couldn't help but spit out half a mouthful of tea and coughed violently, "So Magistrate Bai and Governor Guo broke up?"

What about supporting Bai Shan and suppressing him as promised?

The official who came to deliver the message whispered: "There is no quarrel. Beihai County said that Magistrate Bai went to the countryside and never came back. Magistrate Fang did not dare to make the decision to change the case that the magistrate had already decided. He had to wait for County Magistrate Bai to

Let’s talk about it when I get back.”

"The staff sent by Governor Guo also said that he had not seen Magistrate Bai at that time and that he had gone to the countryside. Although he did not know whether it was true or not, Governor Guo was indeed very angry because he had been humiliated."

Magistrate Lu thought about it for a while, leaned back on his chair, and said thoughtfully: "Bai Shan has more backbone than I thought."

The official also nodded, "I heard that the Song family has been tortured a lot by him. The Longchi Salt Plant has been closed for two months. He is not anxious at all. The Song family has obviously taken a step back and took the initiative to reopen the Longchi Salt Plant.

, but County Magistrate Bai refused to open it, and even said that the Longchi Salt Farm belongs to the Beihai County Government, and it is up to the County Government to decide whether to open it or not."
