Great Tang Idyll Volume 02 Chapter 131

  Chapter 131 Hurry Up And Find Someone To Save Your Life  After waiting for the old man to hide, Li Xun thought of Zhang Xiao'bao's idea, and immediately followed Zhang Xiao'bao, Wang Juan, and the three children from the manor to play in the passages made of straw stacks. They popped their heads out from time to time as they played hide and seek with others. Magistrate Jia and the others could now see the Zhang Manor. At this time, they were no longer able to maintain their original calmness and they started running. They were going to catch the Zhang family first, but when they reached the Zhang family’s main courtyard they found that no one was there and the door was open. "Oh no, they may have run away. Hurry up and chase after them." The first thing that came to Magistrate Wen’s mind was this. He hollered to the people and they ran towards the Little Bridge. They came from the other direction, and they happened to pass the Zhang Manor first.  These people di

  Chapter 130 Little Red Flag Shaking in the Wind  Zhang Xiao'bao was waiting for these words. Seeing that Li Xun was very angry, he comforted him, "You don't have to be angry, Young Master Li. It's not worthwhile to be angry at this kind of person. The Magistrate is a little greedy, but he thinks for the people. My family is willing to give some money. The people of San'shui County are better and more prosperous. The wharf can make more money, and my family will also have more money. If we spend part of the money to improve the lives of the people, then the place will become more and more prosperous. This is called a virtuous circle. But he, Jia Shan, didn't think like this at all. My father was planning to see how he was going to be. If he was good and also good to the people, then we give him some money, and find a way to get him some political achievements and help him get promoted. You can't even guess what he did. Before he took office, he went to the

Chapter 129 Six Hundred Bailiffs Arriving This Morning When Li Xun, Zhang Xiao'bao, and Wang Juan arrived at the place where the wooden houses were built, many people were already busy working. Zhang Xiao'bao said that he wanted Li Xun to give pointers, but in fact, Li Xun didn’t understand anything and could only watch others work. After a while, the people from the Li manor rushed over. Practically everyone in the manor came- men, women, children and elders. Everyone who could work came to help immediately, and those who cannot work watched on the sidelines. Because Li Xun treated his own manor like how the Zhang and Wang families treated their own manors, every single resident had bright healthy faces and wore uniforms. Compared to the residents of the Zhang and Wang manors, there were no differences. A lot of people have met each other before at the market. Now that they were working together, they were able to talk amongst each other. Children were more exclusive of others

Shout out to Yaro for commissioning chapters 126-128 Chapter 128: Celebrating New Year’s Eve With The People  When Zhang Xiao'bao was thinking about how to finish off Magistrate Jia in one go, Shi’liu came over and told him that Li Xun was here. "Why is he here? Is he not celebrating New Year's Eve?" Zhang Xiao'bao was puzzled. Why didn't the emperor’s nephew stay at home during the New Year? What will his family do after he has run over here? Did he sneak out? This time, Zhang Xiao'bao didn't dare to handle the situation as casually as before. If the emperor's nephew sneaked out and went here, his own manor would be in trouble. He pulled Wang Juan along with him to greet Li Xun. By the time they arrived at their courtyard, they saw Li Xun with his hands behind his back as he watched the stars. Zhang Xiao'bao and Wang Juan were now certain that he did indeed come here. “Young Master Li, why have you come here? You didn't stay at home, and i
