"So it's such a hot day, why hasn't Governor Guo come yet? Shouldn't he get up earlier if he's on his way? Even the bullock cart should be here by now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a horse galloped over and stopped at the gate of the county government office. He jumped off the horse before it could stop. He rushed into the county government office and shouted loudly: "Where is County Magistrate Bai? Where is County Magistrate Bai?"

"

Zhou Man, who was sitting on the railing to enjoy the cool air, almost fell to the ground when he screamed. She held on to the pillar before sitting firmly, and asked angrily: "What are you shouting? I'm scared to death. Where is Governor Guo?"

?I……"

She raised her head and glanced at the bright sun, and said reluctantly: "I will go and greet you on behalf of County Magistrate Bai."

"Oh, where is County Magistrate Bai? What are you waiting for? Governor Guo has returned to the Governor's Mansion. A noble man from the capital has come and wants to see Magistrate Bai. Please quickly ask Magistrate Bai to go to Qingzhou City with me."

Zhou Man blinked, jumped down from the railing, waved the cattail leaf fan and said: "You noble man in the capital~~ It's easy to talk, easy to talk, come on, go find County Magistrate Bai quickly and see where he is. I told you last night that today

You can come back early, why haven't you arrived yet?"

County Lieutenant Dong saw her opening her eyes and telling lies, so he agreed on behalf of everyone, and immediately ordered two government servants to go out, "Go to the stables to choose horses, and you want the best ones. Go to everyone's corner to find the county magistrate, and tell them that the capital is coming."

What a noble man, Mr. Zhou asked him to come back quickly."

Zhou Man was still shaking the fan in her hand, and slowly sat down on the railing. There was a little person in her heart spinning around and doing somersaults happily. She couldn't help but clicked her tongue with Keke, and said to herself: "You are so noble.

It’s really the right time.”

Keke also felt that the two of them were lucky. If they were one day apart, when Governor Guo arrived, even if Zhou Man, an official with an official position no less than his was present, and Bai Shan was absent, the relationship between them would have deteriorated.

It will definitely not be as harmonious as before.

The officer who came to notify saw Zhou Man sitting on the railing again and slowly fanning himself. He couldn't help stamping his feet anxiously, "Master Zhou, why are you not in a hurry at all? The governor and the nobles are waiting in Qingzhou City."

Why is Zhou Man anxious? She is not anxious at all. With the prince's temper, if he is anxious and brings his people directly to Beihai County, how can he be stopped by Governor Guo?

If the prince doesn't come, it must be because he is not in a hurry. He has just arrived in Qingzhou City, so he can't take a bath, change clothes, have a meal, etc.?

No rush, no rush, no rush at all.

She also comforted the officer, "It's so hot. Look at the sweat on your head. Don't worry. Magistrate Bai is still on the way. I have sent people to look for him. We will go there when he arrives. Don't worry, your lord."

You'll be blamed."

Seeing that his face was red from the sun, he quickly asked the government officials to take him to wash his face and rest. "I made sour plum soup in the kitchen. Go to the small door and ask someone to bring you a bucket. You can all drink a bowl to cool down..."

The officials immediately stepped forward and surrounded the officers to leave. The officers could not resist and could only look back desperately and shouted: "Master Zhou, Master Zhou, the Governor is waiting for you..."

Zhou Man waved his cattail leaf fan and exhaled when he saw him walking away.

Lieutenant Dong County came back and reported: "Master Zhou, we have sent people out, but why is this noble person so powerful that he makes the governor so anxious?"

Zhou Man said nonchalantly: "It's okay, let's wait for Mr. Bai."

But when Bai Shan receives the news and comes back from Jiawa, it will be almost dark, right?

Zhou Man also thought of this and sighed: "There are a lot of mosquitoes sleeping in the open at this time."

But she still decided to go home and ask Wuyue to pack her luggage. When Bai Shan came back, they would go to Qingzhou City. They could stay outside the city for one night and go back to the city early the next morning.

Zhou Man had a good plan. Just as he was about to go to the backyard, the officer broke free from the hands of a bunch of government servants. He was still holding a bowl in his hand. His face turned red and he shouted to Zhou Man: "Master Zhou, Governor Guo

I told you to go as soon as possible. Don't waste time. Call Magistrate Bai out quickly. We can't afford to offend that noble man."

Zhou Man waved his fan and looked at him sympathetically, "My child, is there something wrong with your brain? Do you want me to check your pulse?"

County Lieutenant Dong was also a little angry and said to the officer: "Our County Magistrate Bai is really not here. Do you think our County Magistrate is hiding from you? He is really not here, really not here!"

After emphasizing, Captain Dong felt that this was not good, so he softened his tone and patted the officer on the shoulder, comforting him: "Brother, I know you are anxious, and so are we, but our Lord is really not here, but don't worry,

We have sent people to look for him, he is probably on the way, and he might be back soon."

The officer looked at County Lieutenant Dong suspiciously, then looked at Zhou Man, "Are you really not here?"

Zhou Man shook his cattail leaf fan and nodded seriously, "I'm really not here."

Seeing that she was still so leisurely, the officer almost cried, "Master Zhou, there is really a noble person coming to Qingzhou City."

"I know," Zhou Man looked at him in confusion, "I don't believe it."

But your performance clearly shows that you don’t believe it!

The police officer always felt that Bai Shan was in the county government office, maybe hiding somewhere and watching him.

Zhou Man saw that he was about to cry, and even his neck and ears turned red. He couldn't help frowning, "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, as long as no one goes out of his way to provoke him, he is still easy to talk to. If you are so afraid, why do you Guo

Did the governor offend His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"That has nothing to do with you. You are just a servant, so His Highness can't blame you, right?"

The officer was stunned and looked at Zhou Man blankly.

Seeing that the flush on his face seemed to have gone down a bit, Zhou Man breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him: "Okay, don't be afraid. If His Highness blames you because I waited late, we will help you take the responsibility. It's true."

of!"

Officer: "...you know that the noble man is the prince?"

Zhou Man paused and then nodded, "I just heard about it, isn't it the prince?"

"It's the prince," the officer came to his senses and asked, "Is it true that County Magistrate Bai is not in the county office?"

Zhou Man: "...he's really not here. He went to the countryside and ran far away. Yesterday, after we received the news from Governor Guo, we sent people to look for him. We thought he would come back in the evening, but he didn't come back for a long time.

, it must have been delayed by something on the road."

The officer felt a little better after hearing this and was finally not so anxious.

Zhou Man immediately said to the stunned government officials behind him: "What are you doing standing there? Take him down quickly to wash his face and drink sour plum soup. Drink more, don't dislike it."

The government officials came to their senses and pulled the guards down one step at a time.

Lieutenant Dong County was also in a daze for a moment, swallowed his saliva and asked Zhou Man: "The Crown Prince came to our Qingzhou City?"

Zhou Man glanced at him and nodded.

"I'm a good boy..." He has grown so old that he has never even met the governor, and now he wants to meet the prince?

No, it seems that he can't see the prince. What he wants to see is County Magistrate Bai.
