"Mr. County Magistrate, it's almost time to prepare the dumplings. Let's go and eat something to satisfy your hunger first!" Chen Xu turned his brow and decided to drag this down before talking about it.

"Well, it's okay, I'm really hungry!" Jiang Beiting walked through the corridor to the restaurant under Chen Xu's leadership.

The restaurant is actually an open-air pergola, surrounded by a half-person-high bamboo fence. There are some round wooden stakes as stools inside, and there are several tables that are very similar to later generations, but they are made of bamboo.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Yu Wuya and Jiang Beiting's son and daughter had already started eating hot dumplings.

"Wow, Dad, come and eat it, the dumplings are so delicious!" Jiang Chuyue stepped on the wooden stake and shouted while eating. She had no temperament and charm of an official lady at all. She was almost the same as a female bandit. Chen Xu felt that his soul was excited and was about to jump out and turn around and escape.

It’s really better to die than marrying this woman. She is still so young and so savage. Wouldn’t she be more manly than me when she grows up? Especially what should I do if I can’t beat her?

"Yue'er, look at you, how kind of morality?" Jiang Beiting looked at the rough movements of his daughter who was boasting about her intelligent and beautiful just now, and then looked at Chen Xu's ugly expression. He couldn't help but scold him, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"Oh~" Jiang Chuyue quickly put her legs down.

The chef brought two bowls of snow-white dumplings. Chen Xu felt that his chest was hungry and he was pressed against his back. So after saying hello to Jiang Beiting, he sat down and swallowed it voraciously.

From yesterday morning to now, he had eaten a bowl of thick rice on the mountain last night, and he almost fainted from hunger if he didn't eat.

After eating three large bowls of dumplings in a row, Chen Xu then started to pick his teeth while burping. The chef quickly brewed a pot of tea and brought it over, because everyone here knew that Lord Lidian had to drink tea and digest food after eating.

At this time, the rain had completely stopped, and the gloomy sky gradually turned white. It seemed that the clouds would soon be clear and the sunrise.

After dinner and tea, Chen Xu accompanied Jiang Beiting to inspect the work in the town, looked at the mill and pharmaceutical workshops one by one, and then went to visit the injured Zhao Zhe and Liang Wen who was locked in a house.

"Master Jiang, how should I deal with this Zhao Zhe now?" Chen Xu asked carefully.

"He is seriously injured. It is best not to move for the time being. Just stay in Qinghe Town for treatment. After I clear everything, I will take him to the county town. Liang Wen will be taken away and temporarily locked in the county jail!" Jiang Beiting thought for a while and said.

Although Chen Xu was helpless, he could only nod and agreed. Zhao Zhe was like a piece of shit at the moment, and he couldn't even shake it even if he stuck to his body.

"By the way, when you were having a meal just now, what was an abacus?" Jiang Beiting asked suddenly.

"It was a new type of calculation that I invented and produced. I followed me to the granary and let the tax collectors demonstrate it with me and then I will understand it naturally!" Chen Xu said quickly that when he was having a meal, in order to change the topic and not mention Jiang Chuyue's affairs, Chen Xu deliberately talked about the abacus, and then discussed a few memorizations with Yu Wuya and the others.

"Let's go and see it!" After Jiang Beiting saw the mill, he was also very interested in Chen Xu's abacus.

"Shu, what's the best thing about a calculating plan?" Jiang Chuyue rolled her eyes desperately at Chen Xu's back, but she still followed with excitement on her face.

Zhao Zhe was castrated. Haha, she didn't like this guy who was going to be her husband at all, so she tried every means to escape and regret the marriage. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhe communicated with bandits to rob tax grain. The most incredible thing was that he was castrated. Next, Zhao Zhe's father, the CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao, would definitely seek revenge on Chen Xu.

When Jiang Chuyue thought that Chen Xu, whom he hated the most, was going to be unlucky, he excitedly started humming.

But what she didn't expect was that it was her small move to break off the engagement, and countless people were involved and suffered unrestrained disasters, which even led to the Jiang clan almost collapse. However, this is already a story.

A group of people arrived at the granary. When the tax collector Niu Quan saw the county magistrate coming, he was very excited. He heard that he had to watch himself demonstrate a new abacus, so he became even more excited. He quickly took out a new wooden abacus and spread out a roll of bamboo slips for summer grain taxes this year. He explained and calculated while lying, and he was muttering. With a crackling sound, the numbers on the bamboo slips were soon calculated. The last pair of results on Jiangbeiting was exactly the same as those on the bamboo slips.

"Mr. County Magistrate, let me explain the calculation formulas of abacus to you. As long as you remember these formulas, the calculation will be as convenient and fast as flowing..." Niu Quan finally found an opportunity to show off with the county magistrate today, and was so excited that he was as if he had eaten chicken shit.

"Magic, it's so amazing!" Ten minutes later, Jiang Beiting tried to fiddle the abacus according to the mantra, and after calculating a bamboo roll, he couldn't help but exclaim. Finally, he asked Niu Quan to copy the mantra, then brought the abacus with him and took Liang Wen and his son and daughter to leave with him.

Finally left!

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know how Jiang Beiting would deal with Zhao Zhe's affairs, but he was not too nervous, so it seemed that the power behind Jiang Beiting must be quite large. It was just that he was a small Lidian in it. If he bet everything on Jiang Beiting, it was obviously unreliable. Maybe he could not resist Zhao Gao's pressure and threw himself out and took the blame. After all, he was not very familiar with him, let alone a relative. Do you really have to pick up his daughter in order to survive?

Chen Xu was very confused, but he quickly threw this idea behind his mind.

He had already promised Shui Liang to marry her, and a manly man naturally could not break his promise. Jiang Beiting did not force Jiang Chuyue too much, and there was still room for maneuver. If he wanted to get rid of Jiang Beiting's pressure, he would not be able to make a big change in his identity and status within one or two years and could not threaten him.

The most important thing to do now is to leave a way out for yourself and not hang yourself on the crooked tree of Jiangbeiting.

"Wuya, you said that the tea I fried last time has not been sold yet, right?"

"Yes, benefactor!" Yu Wuya nodded quickly.

"We can't count on Jiangbeiting this time, so I want to ask you to bring some tea to Xianyang to see if you can operate it and find another way!"

"My benefactor, don't worry, Wuya must do this, I'll prepare now!" Yu Wuya agreed.

"There is no hurry to do this. I'll wait for two or three days to see Jiangbeiting's plan. Before going to Xianyang, I'll stay in Wancheng for a day or two and ask about the situation of the county government. Well, there are some things you can bring to Miss Shui for me!"
