Chapter 653 Trivial Matters
This is a palm-sized password box that his wife bought for him in Modern Times. Shen Yuan taught Jiang Shun how to open it.
Without the password, even the sharpest knife or axe cannot cut open the small box made of this material.
The things don't have to be delivered to General Zheng, because he can succeed without the help of General Zheng from the Northern Territory.
Even if it was lost, he could ask his grandfather to write another letter and deliver it again.
But it must not fall into enemy hands.
It would be difficult to deal with if the enemy used the military token to summon other members of the Huo family army.
Therefore, if the enemy got this thing but couldn't open it, it would still be useless, and Jiang Shun wouldn't have to desperately try to get it back and lose his life in vain.
Jiang Shun also understood this principle. At this moment, he was completely attracted by this ingenious mechanism. He learned to open it twice and touched the material of the box. He was also very happy.
"Brother Yuan, where did you get this good stuff? It's absolutely amazing."
While feeling happy, Jiang Shun also knew that Brother Yuan was afraid that he would risk his life for this thing, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
He followed the general in the first place because the general had saved his life on the battlefield, and the general was really good to his subordinates, so he had long been devoted to the general.
His choice was not wrong.
The general did not treat his subordinates as slaves, nor did he disregard their lives. Instead, he truly cared for them and was as close to them as brothers.
It was worth it to be treated like this by the general in this life.
Shen Yuan smiled and said nothing more, but took out another electric baton.
"You used this before, and you also used it for self-defense. And these, take them all with you."
When Jiang Shun saw the electric baton, his eyes lit up.
After coming back from the mountain last time, Brother Yuan took away all the good things, and he felt sorry about it.
When they opened the small bag, they found a flashlight and a lighter inside, things they had never seen before, except for the last time they went up the mountain to suppress the rebels.
Seeing that he was happy, Shen Yuan continued:
"When you come back this time, I'll give you all these things."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shun's mouth widened.
"Thank you, Brother Yuan."
These are all treasures, treasures that cannot be bought with any amount of money.
"Brother Yuan, I'll leave right away, but I need you to tell Lord Xu."
Jiang Shun didn't dare to delay, so he took his things and quickly prepared to leave.
Shen Yuan nodded and went directly to the county government office to find Xu Huaiyuan.
He is now the commander of the army, so it is not difficult for him to borrow someone.
Xu Huaiyuan had just received a report from the commercial street when people from the clinic came over to ask for instructions on how to deal with the mother and son.
When Shen Yuan arrived at the scene, he saw that he was handling official business and was not in a hurry to ask anyone to report it. He felt something was wrong when he heard it. If he guessed correctly, the mother and son they were talking about were He Erzhu and his mother.
Old Mrs. He actually died, and she was killed by a customer who poured a pan of oil on her.
There was also a woman at the scene who left the mother and son alone in the clinic?
That woman, is she Zhao Yuanyuan?
Being splashed with hot oil must have disfigured him, right?
Shen Yuan didn't know what to say. As expected, every evildoer will be punished by another evildoer. His wife was right. There was no need to bother with these people. They would commit suicide on their own.
When Xu Huaiyuan heard the whole story and saw the stinky tofu that was brought over from the merchant, he became furious.
He actually dared to sell these things, and he still acted as if he was justified when people came to his door. Being splashed with oil would be the least of his worries.
"Find the residence of this mother and son. If you have money, pay it to the clinic. They maliciously sell stinky food to customers. Close it immediately! They disrupt the reputation of the market and fine them five taels of silver. If you don't have money, let the person do corvée after he recovers."
The customer who spilled the oil had already run away, but Xu Huaiyuan had no intention of looking for him.
No one reported this incident to the police, but it still disrupted the reputation of the commercial street and there is a penalty.
There was an agreement when he rented the shop to these people that the quality of the products sold had to be guaranteed, otherwise the shop would be closed. He felt that this was not strong enough and that fines must be imposed to ensure that every merchant would not do anything wrong.
Xu Huaiyuan thought about it and immediately said to the several yamen runners on the commercial street:
"From now on, we will conduct random checks on the quality of goods sold by various merchants from time to time. No merchants are allowed to sell moldy food. Violators will be fined and sealed, and the business will be publicly displayed in the commercial street for one month. The perpetrators will not be allowed to participate in the sale of goods in any form in the future."
The punishment is severe enough, but there is no order without rules.
Without these drastic measures, how can we manage the commercial street well?
The subordinates received the order and went to handle it immediately, and the people from the pharmacy followed suit.
This is the county government court, and there are many common people following here. When they heard Lord Xu’s verdict, they cheered.
Their county magistrate is truly an honest man who never protects anyone.
The merchant should be fined for selling smelly food to customers, which caused them to have diarrhea.
After sending these people away, Xu Huaiyuan no longer had any cases to deal with. There have been fewer and fewer cases recently, which is what he wanted to see.
He hopes that all government affairs under his jurisdiction will be clear and fair, and that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, with fewer concerns and more warmth.
If there are many cases, it proves that people’s lives are not so good.
In fact, there are still some trivial cases every day. He summed up and found that most of them are due to poverty.
When people become wealthy, they no longer worry about their livelihood and will not care about so many things. Who would come to report a crime for a small matter?
Shen Yuan saw that he had finished his work, then walked over. When Xu Huaiyuan saw him, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Sir, when did you come? Why didn't you call me?"
Xu Huaiyuan could see that Shen Yuan must have arrived a long time ago and did not disturb him from handling his official business.
"It's nothing serious, so I didn't bother you. You handled it well just now. The management of the commercial street really needs to keep up. It concerns people's livelihood and cannot tolerate any carelessness."
Shen Yuan truly thought that Xu Huaiyuan was a good county magistrate.
The fact that even trivial matters can be brought to court proves that this official is a good one.
Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to report to the authorities, which means they do not trust the officials, or they know that reporting to the authorities is futile and they will not get justice, so it is better not to report.
"Master Siwei is right. Let's talk in the back hall?"
Xu Huaiyuan went to the back to meet Shen Yuan, ordered people to serve tea, and asked everyone to leave.
"I don't have anything to do. I just want to borrow someone from Lord Xu, Jiang Shun from the government office. I have an urgent matter here and need his help. I have already made an appointment without asking for permission and directly let him go from his post. Please don't blame me, Lord."
Shen Yuan stated his purpose directly.
"I thought it was something else. It is a blessing for Jiang Shun to be favored by you, sir. Please feel free to use me."
Xu Huaiyuan naturally agreed to this small matter and was sensible enough not to ask any more questions.
"That's fine. I'll ask him to report to you when he comes back."
Shen Yuan didn't stay long. He drank a cup of tea, stood up and prepared to leave.
