The villagers around quieted down as soon as they saw the government runner, and then they all turned to look at Granny Lei.
Granny Lei stepped forward, "This common woman is a member of the Ruo Family."
The government runner, faced with a document completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, had to harden his resolve and recite the message from the Lord County Magistrate, only picking what he remembered, and stumbling through it: "The Ruo Family has discovered that Zizania is edible, benefiting the people and contributing to water control, for which...for which the merits are great. The Imperial Court thus bestows upon them residence number one on Jira Street."
All the villagers on the mountain were silent!
What was this government runner talking about?
Was he farting?
The Ruo Family had received an estate from the Imperial Court as a reward?
Residence number one on Jira Street?
That was the estate of the former, highly corrupt military governor!
