Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 176 The County Lord’s question in Fuxi Hall

Shen Qinglan looked him up and down, but couldn't tell anything from his expression. She didn't know if he was just trying to clear up the relationship, or if he was really innocent.

"I don't need Mr. Yan's help for anything else, but... I heard that Shopkeeper Xin from Guifu Helu Village refused to admit that we paid for the goods, so that the delivery that was originally promised at the end of the month has not even happened yet.

I saw it." Shen Qinglan laughed, glanced down at the tea cup in his hand, and said: "If we really talk about helping, this county is really scared."

Master Yan was stunned for a moment, "Is there such a thing?"

He quickly knelt down. Madam Yan and Mr. Yan looked at each other and knelt down too.

"What is going on, County Lord! It's impossible! This is impossible!" Master Yan said.

"Our two families have been cooperating for such a long time, and this situation has never happened before, County Lord! County Lord, please take a closer look!" said Mrs. Yan.

Master Yan looked at Shen Qinglan with a very panicked expression, "County Master, the common people really don't know that such a thing has happened. I will definitely hold him accountable when I get back."

"So, Master Yan admits that the Shen family paid the payment?" Shen Qinglan said.

"On the day when the payment for the goods was made, the eldest master and the eldest son of your house signed the bill of goods with me personally. My son was also present at the time. I have no right to deny it!"

"In that case, I don't understand, the County Lord. Doesn't Shopkeeper Xin of your village know the payment slip? Doesn't he know my eldest brother?"

Mr. Yan clasped his fists, as if he really didn't know that such a thing had happened, "I would like to ask the county master to give you one day's grace. I will go back and investigate now."

Shen Qinglan stood up and said coldly: "I just want justice. If Master Yan can't find out clearly, someone can. However, Master Yan, even if you don't want to admit it, after all, Shopkeeper Xin, you are the Yan family's

people."

"County Lord! County Lord, we really don't know why Shopkeeper Xin did this. We ask the County Lord to tell you clearly!" Master Yan said.

Shen Qinglan winked at Yan'er, and Yan'er immediately stepped forward and helped Master Yan up.

"I also believe in Mr. Yan's character. I heard from my uncle that our Shen family has cooperated with the Yan family for many years. Mr. Yan always pays attention to integrity when doing business. I guess... someone deliberately provoked and framed him. Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan,

What is the truth? I hope you can give me an explanation next time you come to visit my brother." Shen Qinglan said.

"yes……"

Shen Qinglan returned to the main seat and sat down, "Master Yan, Mrs. Yan, please get up quickly. It's getting late today, so I won't leave the three of you here."

"County Master, I personally selected some supplements, and I also ask County Master not to shirk your disapproval and just keep them." Mrs. Yan said.

"In that case, I will accept it, thank you Madam Yan."

After Shen Qinglan said that, the little girl from Fuxi Hall stepped forward to collect the things.

-

After leaving Fuxi Hall, Mr. Yan wiped his sweat and said, "He uses both soft and hard tactics. The Lord of Pingyang County is indeed no ordinary person."

Yan Pengyang supported his mother beside him and asked: "Father, are you serious about the payment? Why did Shopkeeper Xin do this?"

Mr. Yan snorted coldly, "As the county leader said, the person named Xin is probably bribed."

"You really know people but not their hearts! Shopkeeper Xin has been in charge of Helu Village for three years, and he can actually do such a thing!" Yan Pengyang said.

Mrs. Yan patted her heart and said, "The Lord of Pingyang County is really impressive. He is worthy of being a person who wants to join the royal family. He doesn't give anyone any clues about what he says and does. He is very comprehensive. How can a little girl be so powerful?"

"Yes, even adults who have experienced ups and downs may not be so powerful." Master Yan said.

"Father, my son immediately went to fetch Shopkeeper Xin and see what he said! We can also give the Shen family an explanation." Yan Pengyang said angrily.

"My son, you still think too simplistically. Shopkeeper Xin must have many excuses. What County Lord Pingyang wants is not those excuses to escape guilt," Master Yan said.

Yan Pengyang opened his eyes in disbelief, "Then what else does she want?"

"Didn't you listen to what he said? No matter how you say it, this shopkeeper Xin is the person who I jointly recorded the Zhuangyan clan. If shopkeeper Xin really did it deliberately, who instigated it and what is the evidence? We all know these

We need to find a way to find out. Even if we can't change Shopkeeper Xin's identity from an accomplice to a witness, we still have to come up with some solid evidence to prove that our Yan family has nothing to do with this matter," Master Yan said.

Yan Pengyang thought for a while and said, "Okay, my son will go and investigate right away. It just so happens that my son also wants to know who is framed behind us!"

Mr. Yan touched his beard and said, "Recently in the business world, there have been a lot of frictions between the four royal merchants. The Shen and Wang families are relatives, as are the Xue and Qin families. We can't afford to offend. It's difficult..."

"Our Yan family, on the other hand, is caught in the middle and has a hard time surviving. It's so abominable to be used as a knife wielder by others!" Yan Pengyang said angrily.

"It's impossible for us to remove this kind of thing even if we want to. After all, we have cooperated with the Shen family for so many years." Master Yan said.

"Father, what do you mean, we want to side with the Shen family and the Wang family? But there is no one in the Shen and Wang families to support them..."

Yan Pengyang was worried in his heart. The Xue family had General Huwei, the Qin family had a minister of civil affairs, and there was no one in the royal family. Although the Shen family had a county head, it was only a woman, and King Ping was a romantic and idle prince.

Without real power, compared to the other two, the Xue and Qin families are stronger.

Master Yan glanced at him and said, "There are people in the Xue and Qin families who are true, but why haven't we cooperated with them for so many years? It's because they often deduct money when doing business and like to bully others. The master and the eldest son of the Shen family are both good men.

Good person, you have also met the head of Pingyang County today. A businesswoman can win the title of county head. People like her must have very easy methods. From now on, the Shen family will rely on the royal family, and King Bin will not rely on Yin.

If you are granted the title of king at a young age, your strength should not be underestimated."

Yan Pengyang nodded, "Father is still thoughtful."

"Then do you know what to do when you go back?" Master Yan asked.

Yan Pengyang thought for a moment, "My son will go back and ask Shopkeeper Xin first and see what he says. As long as his reasons are convincing enough, I won't ask too many questions and will investigate in secret."

"Well," Master Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Not only that, the Xue and Qin families can bribe the people under our Yan family, and we can also bribe the people under Shopkeeper Xin."

"Tit for retaliation will not bring injustice to him."

Mrs. Yan looked back and said, "Master, I think we should choose more good supplements to send to Mr. Shen. I think the county master doesn't care if we take these things today."

"Madam, no matter how good you give me, people will not appreciate it, and those gifts are not what they want." Master Yan said.

"It's none of their business whether they like it or not. We still have to give the gift!" Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes at him.

Yan Pengyang held his mother's hand and said, "Mother is right, gifts still have to be given. I will go with you to see my son later."
