"Or maybe you could erect a monunt for the chow chows, they are, after all, your lifesavers. In the future, during festivals or on Qingming, you can offer them bones or at as tribute. How does that sound?"
"Yes!" Yang Xiayun imdiately said, "I want to erect a big monunt for them."
" too, I will regularly bring at for them to eat."
"Good," Yang Chuxia felt a pang in her heart upon hearing the words of the two young girls.
She was endlessly grateful to those chow chows. Without them, it’s likely that both girls would have suffered at the hands of evildoers.
It’s no wonder that so say dogs are humanity’s most loyal friends and guardians.
When they reached the front courtyard, Yang Chuxia shared the incident with the others, who were equally moved.
A while later, after breakfast, Constable Hong ca with his n, followed by County Magistrate Shen in person.
Yang Chuxia knew that County Magistrate Shen’s visit was mainly due to Mu Shaoling. As for Constable Hong, he was there to understand the details and investigate the case.
Indeed, when County Magistrate Shen received the report that the Yang Family where Divine Doctor Mu stayed had been attacked, he almost fainted, relaxing only after being told that Divine Doctor Mu was unhard.
He would have co sooner if not for urgent official duties the day before. He managed to make ti by working through the night.
Heaven knows he was nearly scared to death. This Divine Doctor might not be of imperial lineage, but he is not soone the average noble family can compare with—this is a person trusted by the Emperor himself. The title of Divine Doctor is respected not just in Great Zhou, but also receives honors in other nations.
If sothing were to happen in his jurisdiction, he could say goodbye to his position as County Magistrate.
"Divine Doctor Mu, why don’t you return to the county city to stay? You can stay in the governntal office where there are many people. Or shall I assign soone to escort you back to the capital early?"
Mu Shaoling gave him a look and scoffed, "With just those few people of yours to escort this young master back to the capital? I’m afraid I’d be killed halfway there."
"But, but..."
"Enough, no more ’buts’." Mu Shaoling unceremoniously cut him off and continued, "I still have matters to attend to in Quanya, and once I’m done, I will return to the capital. Now, the Yang Family has suffered such a calamity, yet the real culprits are still at large. County Magistrate Shen, you must solve this case quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes," County Magistrate Shen hurriedly agreed.
Mu Shaoling then waved his hand and added, "As you know, I don’t like being disturbed, so I don’t want others to know about my stay with the Yang Family. Also, given the magnitude of this incident, the villagers of Yangshu Village are no doubt worried and anxious. So, I ask that County Magistrate Shen dispatch so n here, until the person who led the horse thieves here is caught and it’s confird that there are no other accomplices. Only then can the n return to the governntal office."
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand," the County Magistrate responded.
"Very well, there’s nothing else. You may return to the county city," Mu Shaoling concluded and left as if he were the lord himself. County Magistrate Shen and Constable Hong also made further inquiries before leaving.
With the County Magistrate himself visiting, the Yang Family’s ordeal could hardly be kept secret. Upon hearing about the serious incident, everyone was naturally terrified. However, knowing that the County Magistrate would send n to station in Yangshu Village brought so relief.
Land Officer Yang and the mbers of the first and fourth branches of the family, upon hearing that Old Yang was injured, naturally ca to visit.
Land Officer Yang felt much relieved to hear that a Divine Doctor was treating Old Yang and, upon hearing that the Divine Doctor didn’t want the news of his stay to be known, he reminded everyone who knew to be careful not to spread the word recklessly.
Divine Doctor Mu was very satisfied with this. Land Officer Yang had always been excellent, knowing how to keep the villagers from sharing news carelessly, ensuring that no village information leaked out.
