329 Zhang Zhan’s Investigation

That evening, Zhang Zhan, who was working in the county city of Yongding County, had just finished a cup of hot tea when he heard a servant outside reporting to him.

“Sir, someone from the Hu Family Village is looking for you.”

Zhang Zhan’s heart trembled. Could that old lady be here again?

Didn’t he already agree to the matter of the grain seeds?

A few days ago, the Hu Family Village had sent someone to deliver a cart of grains. There were three to four dan in weight. Zhang Zhan saw that the type of grain was different.

The person who sent the grain was not Old Madam Wang, but her eldest grandson. They said that this kind of grain was brought from Wanning City. They felt that it was not bad and wanted Zhang Zhan to help see if they could get others to plant it too.

At that time, Zhang Zhan was a little stunned. He was born and raised in Wanning City, but he had never seen such good grain seeds. The quality was probably the same as those used in tribute to the Emperor.

However, when he thought about it, that old lady had always done things in a clever manner. After a while, he understood. It was probably their village that had created it and wanted to use Wanning City’s name as a cover.

When one is far away from authority the powers that be will not intervene. Naturally, the people in this remote village would not think that the so-called grain seeds in the capital actually came from a village.

If this was promoted, it would be a real political achievement. Perhaps the impoverished reputation of Yongding County would be amended.

There were too many poor villages in this county. Rich families were concentrated in certain areas. There were too few families who could really live without worry.

Speaking of which, every time the old lady came to look for him, he did not suffer any losses. He did not need to be nervous.

With this thought in mind, Zhang Zhan walked out. Unexpectedly, it was the village chief of Hu Family Village outside.

After Zhang Zhan took office, he had once gathered the village chiefs and the others to meet with the officials in the county office to get to know each other so that he could carry out follow-up work.

He naturally knew the village chief of Hu Family Village, Hu Changzhu.

Zhang Zhan was only in his twenties and did not look as dignified as the other county magistrates. Village Chief Hu was not so nervous when he saw him.

Therefore, under Zhang Zhan’s questioning, he told him everything about the boxes in the village.

In order to obtain his trust, Village Chief Hu also brought two things. There was a fragment of what he believed to be a part of an armor and a military book.

Zhang Zhan did not feel anything when he saw the armor piece. It was only when he saw the book “Ancestral Chronicles” that his expression changed.

It was actually the battle record of the previous dynasty’s ancestor, a long-lost military book!

In fact, the reason why Zhang Zhan chose to take office in Wangbei County was to verify what had happened more than a hundred years ago.

Back then, everyone had theorized that the items might be in Wangbei County. The Imperial family had even sent a large number of people to investigate, but they had all returned empty-handed.

He only came because of his personal hobby. He thought that he could casually follow up on this matter when he was a county magistrate here.

The higher-ups had long given up on investigating. After all, so much time had passed and they had experienced a long period of war. The possibility of these books being destroyed was very high.

Unexpectedly, before he could officially start investigating, the items came knocking on his door.

It was hidden in the shadow of the lamp all along?

Many people overlooked Hu Family Village when they investigated. That place was too remote and too poor.

Of course, they had also investigated the village, but who would have expected that the things in the Hu Family Village would either be behind a waterfall or on the cliff? Normal people would not have thought of it.

At most, they would think of a secret cellar.

Village Chief Hu saw Zhang Zhan’s expression change and was very nervous. “Lord Zhang, our village doesn’t know about these things either-”

Zhang Zhan waved his hand. “Don’t panic. I’ll send someone to go back with you tomorrow to transport the things to the county city first. No, I’ll leave it with you first. I’ll send a few more people to help guard them.”
