Steward Shao and County Magistrate Zou were both deeply shocked upon hearing this... What did County Magistrate Xu mean by saying this? Could it be that he wanted to replace County Magistrate Zou and take his position?
Steward Shao and County Magistrate Zou exchanged glances, feeling that this was very likely what County Magistrate Xu meant.
County Magistrate Zou forcibly swallowed the blood that had rushed to his mouth and said to County Magistrate Xu, "My lord, rest assured, I only have a minor illness. I will recover after two days of rest and it will not be a big problem. I will be able to return to the county government office the day after tomorrow."
County Magistrate Xu did not actually want to replace County Magistrate Zou, but instead warned him not to cause trouble. Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "County Magistrate Zou, go back and recuperate in peace."
