Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 722: Wenquxing of Tongzhou Prefecture

When Magistrate Tao took a casual look, he saw a glittering golden sign.

"What is this?" Magistrate Tao immediately leaned forward, his eyes widened.

"Ouch!" Seeing this, Jiang Youzhen hurriedly picked up the gold medal and wiped it.

From the corner of her eye she saw that Magistrate Tao's eyes were glued to the gold medal, and Jiang Youzhen immediately understood what was going on.

"Ouch! Fortunately it didn't break. This can't be broken!"

Jiang Youzhen wiped it hard and was about to put it in his arms.

"Wait a minute!" Prefect Tao hurriedly stopped him.

"This, this is... a gold medal?" Magistrate Tao had never seen this before, but he couldn't think of anything else except a gold medal with this golden color.

Jiang Youzhen smiled embarrassedly at first, and then nodded.

"Yes! This is the gold medal bestowed by the emperor!" Jiang Youzhen looked pleased.

In fact, the emperor probably forgot to take it back, so Jiang Youzhen would not take the initiative to mention it. She deliberately revealed it just to let Prefect Tao see it.

Prefect Tao's eyes flickered, "You actually have a gold medal bestowed by the emperor?"

"It's also used for investigating cases. Maybe it will be taken back someday." Jiang Youzhen had already stuffed it in his arms.

Tao Zhifu was excited. Jiang Youzhen even had a gold medal. Regardless of whether he had joined any prince, he still had some status in the emperor's heart.

In this case, he might as well give it a try. Sometimes being a loyal subject is better than being forced to take sides.

Thinking of this, he spoke carefully, "In fact, I will not hide it from Master Jiang. A few days ago, I received a letter from the capital saying that my teacher was not feeling well. I was extremely worried, but there was nothing I could do. I hate that I am not in the capital and cannot be with my teacher."

Jiang Youzhen sighed when he heard this, and then he heard Magistrate Tao say, "If I could go to the capital, I would naturally want to do so. But being an official in the capital is not easy. If Attendant Jiang has any connections, please give me some advice."

"Hey~ Your Excellency is too kind. How dare I give you a warning?"

Jiang Youzhen waved his hand, "But you haven't been back to the capital for a long time, so you are late to learn some news. If you don't mind, I will ask for you."

Magistrate Tao immediately bowed, looking very touched.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Jiang. If it works, I'll be grateful. If Mr. Jiang gets into trouble in the future, I won't stand idly by."

Magistrate Tao made a promise at the right time. Without this attitude, why would others help you?

"Then I will wait for your promotion in the future." Jiang Youzhen and Magistrate Tao smiled at each other.

Jiang Youzhen returned to the yard and found that the system prompt sound had not yet come, so he knew that the task had not been completed yet.

"Tongzi, isn't your task too difficult?" Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but complain.

[Host, this mission is just a two-star mission after the system upgrade. The mission target is not difficult to conquer, but the deadline is a bit longer.]

It seems that the mission can only be completed after returning to the capital and finding a way to transfer Magistrate Tao to the capital, right?

"But do you think it's easy to transfer Magistrate Tao to the capital? He just took office and has no achievements. How can he be transferred to the capital? Such a mission is only a two-star mission. Isn't it too harsh?"

[Host, the system rating is based on the difficulty of the task~ Please continue to work hard! ]

Well~it’s the same as saying nothing. Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes.

The next morning, Jiang Youzhen was radiant, having shaken off the fatigue from six or seven days of sailing.

They need to set off for the county town today, which will take about a day and a half, even if they travel by horse-drawn carriage overnight.

Prefect Tao stood aside, watching the servants help Jiang Youzhen load the truck.

"Mr. Jiang, I will not see you off for long. Have a safe journey!"

Jiang Youzhen bowed and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, sir. I will leave now. When the old lady celebrates her birthday, I will come to celebrate."

"Okay, okay! See you on the 15th." (The birthday is changed to the 15th)

As Magistrate Tao spoke, he clapped his hands three times in a row, and then suddenly a sound of ceremonial music was heard.

Jiang Youzhen looked at a ceremonial team that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, beating drums and gongs, making it very lively.

Holding signs that read "Silence" and "Avoid", as well as a plaque of the top scholar, they were standing at the entrance of the alley, banging their heads around, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Jiang Youzhen covered his face, isn’t this too high-profile?

"I have ordered them to return to your hometown with you. I have already sent a letter to inform Magistrate Wu, and they will meet you at the gate of the county town."

"Thank you, sir. There is no need to mobilize so many troops." Jiang Youzhen said quickly.

"How can this be called mobilizing a large army? In fact, this is the rule."

How could this be a rule? Normally, when a top-ranked scholar returns to his hometown, he would start playing music and drums in the county seat. No one would start playing music in the provincial capital.

"Thank you, sir!"

Jiang Youzhen got on the carriage, and Jiang Fugui gave her a helpless smile, somewhat uncomfortable.

Mrs. Shen was very happy. She felt it was very glorious and lively.

"This prefect is a really nice person, and his old lady is also very kind. His wife is even more virtuous, and I have learned a lot from her."

Shen was very happy, having learned a lot about how to manage servants and manage household affairs. In fact, in her mind, these servants were paid to do their jobs, so there was no need to embarrass them.

But what Madam Liang said made sense. If you are too kind to the servants, sometimes you can't intimidate them at all. Xiaolang is already an official. If he can't control the servants and cause trouble for Xiaolang, then he will harm Xiaolang.

"If you think they have good personalities and can be made friends with, then just visit them more often in the future." Jiang Youzhen smiled. Perhaps Shen could learn a lot from Madam Liang.

"But we will be back to the capital in more than half a month. How can we have the chance to move around more?" Shen sighed.

"Maybe we'll have a chance to meet in Beijing in the future?" Jiang Youzhen smiled but didn't say much.

They drove for a whole day and night, but unexpectedly, Prefect Tao was thoughtful enough to rent another carriage for the guard of honor.

When passing through the outskirts of the city during the day, everyone was crowded in the carriage, and it was even more impossible to knock and bang at night. Finally, at noon on the second day, the carriage finally arrived in Wen County.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and lined up to enter the city. However, when the guard of honor saw the city gate, they all got off the carriages and began to play music.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the guard of honor, they knew that the top scholar they had been ordered to pay attention to had arrived.

"Hurry up, go and report to the master!" A small flag officer gave an order and then hurried forward.

"Who is this? Why is it such a big deal?" Some people were very confused.

"Is it someone's wedding? It's such a big event, it must be a wealthy family, right?"

"You all can't read. This belongs to an official, and it says "No. 1 Scholar" on it!"

"Oh my! Could it be that our county's Wenquxing has returned? I heard that after he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he stayed in the capital to serve as an official. He must have come back to visit his relatives."

"Who is it?" Someone nearby who didn't understand hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the person who was speaking in front and asked.

"You don't know this? He's the Wenquxing of our Tongzhou Prefecture, the young champion, Jiang Youzhen!"
