The procession stopped less than a hundred meters from the village head.
Qi Quanjin thought he would have to bring people to greet them, but instead saw a few people coming around that carriage.
The leader was wearing official attire, and Qi Quanjin immediately recognized him as the County Magistrate of Jicheng.
He saw the County Magistrate running over with a few government officials, and Qi Quanjin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The County Magistrate of Jicheng was named Hu Kaicheng, a slightly plump man in his forties. After running these dozens of meters, he was already a bit out of breath.
"This humble subject greets Lord County Magistrate!"
Qi Quanjin said and was about to kneel.
Hu Kaicheng waved his hand, breathlessly saying, "No need for ceremony. Are all your village's preparations ready? The official delivering the decree is already waiting, hurry up and don't keep the lord waiting."
"Ready, ready."
