Knowing that this person wanted them to accept it, Xue Yan took it and cupped his hands in thanks. Then, he kept the token in his pocket.
Shao Shuting was satisfied with the result. He held the handle of the hoe in his arms like a sword and nodded in satisfaction. “This token is actually not of much use. Even if an ordinary government sees this, they won’t dare to do anything to you. They will also inform the Shao family if anything happens, and I will immediately rush over to save you and Jiang Yue. You’re all farmers, so I don’t think you’ll ever need it in your life, but you can keep… Just in case.” After all, these two little devils were different from the others.
He and Shiye had gone to take a look at the rice mill workshop, and the design was so ingenious that even the people from the Ministry of Works might not be able to design it.
Seeing that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were still calm, Shao Shuting finally sighed, “I’ve told you so much about everything else, why don’t you guys ask me who I am? Aren’t you guys that curious? Or do you…” He lowered his voice. “Do you already know who I am?
Who was he? It wasn’t just his name that gave it away, but also his identity.
Without waiting for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s reply, and regardless of whether they were still calm or not, he said with a smile, “Interesting.” As he spoke, he looked at Xue Yan and smiled. “I heard from Wufu that you used to study at Sheng Ming Academy. How could it be so coincidental? The County Magistrate of Xinyuan, Fang Yiming, is also from Shengming Academy.”
It was said that the County Magistrate never did st*pid things. When Liu
Guisheng and the other four were sent to the county government, the County Magistrate did not immediately follow his orders. Instead, he jointly interrogated Liu Guisheng and the other five people and confirmed the truth before he could do it.
As long as he interrogated Liu Guisheng and the others, and was shown the token of the southern army, it would be easy to confirm that he, the southern general, was recuperating in this village.
He guessed that the County Magistrate had already told Xue Yan his identity.
If Xue Yan knew, then so would Jiang Yue.
It was no wonder that they did not bother asking. These two little devils had not even asked him who he was or why he had a token.
Seeing Shao Shutings confident look, Jiang Yue immediately thought of Xue Yan’s classmate who came last time. He didn’t come to the house but waited at the village entrance. That classmate should be the Xinyuan County Magistrate, Fang Yiming, that Shao Shuting mentioned.
It definitely was.
The timing was right, so they sent him to the county government overnight, and the next day, a classmate came to the village entrance to wait for Xue Yan.
Otherwise, why would Shao Shuting mention the Xinyuan County Magistrate?
Shao Shuting had been recuperating here for so long, and it was only once when Shiye helped to send people to the county government did his friend appear. Was it related to the county government?
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan. Xue Yan looked back, but didn’t say anything.
They decided to let him believe what he wanted to believe.
There was no harm in doing so anyway.
Both she and he felt the same way.
“Okay.” Shao Shuting said, “I’m glad that you both are still treating me the same then.”
He liked the two little devils.
He didn’t want these two little devils to fear him because of his identity or have any scruples.
Since these two little devils already knew his identity, they didn’t seem to be afraid of him. They still fed him the medicine without any change. This made him like these two little devils even more. Why were they so interesting?
After digging up all the tomato plants on the land and tidying up the land,
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Shao Shuting, and Shiye returned to Xue Dagui’s house..
