Chapter 52: The governor arrives in person and the decree is issued

When Yan'er heard what Liang Sheng said, her instinctive reaction was that Yi Feng's murder had been investigated. She held Shen Qinglan's hand nervously and said, "Miss, let's run quickly. I believe the master and his wife can drag us along...

…”

Shen Qinglan's mood instantly improved. Just now she was complaining about the unscrupulous boss Zhao Shun, but now the errand is coming!

As expected of the young prince, he really does what he says!

Forget it, come to think of it, he didn't mean it, so just forgive him!

"Okay, I'll be there right away, Yan'er, you come with me."

Shen Qinglan happily pulled Yan'er towards the main hall, and Yan'er whispered in her ear: "No, miss, Yi Feng is still in Moshi Hall, otherwise I will let him go first and let him leave quickly!"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

Shen Qinglan patted her hand, and Yan'er felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

-

Before entering the main hall, Shen Qinglan stopped and asked, "How do I describe myself now? Is it still appropriate?"

This was a good day for the transfer of the Shen family and for Shen Qinglan. She had to leave a good impression on Lord Zhizhou. When the time came, Zhizhou could give her a good word when he came back.

Yan'er corrected Yuchai for her, "Well, no problem, you're fine!"

As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw the Shen family members sitting on both sides. Sitting in the front seat was a middle-aged man in his late fifties, wearing an official robe and a look of justice. He should be Su Shiyi, the magistrate.

Su Shiyi had just been sent to the local area not long ago. Now he has replaced Meng Yitang. Now Meng Yitang also has an empty name and does not have much real power. He will only be assigned an official position in the future. The word "prefect" is just a name for the common people and colleagues.

The honorific title. However, Meng Yitang did not intend to do this. Instead of being a local official, he wanted to go to Kyoto. However, his current status in the officialdom is still a bit embarrassing.

At the same time, his arrival also restricted the rights of the Marquis of Nanyang. It is no wonder that the Marquis of Nanyang and his wife were unwilling to violate the holy will, presumably because they were afraid of His Majesty's jealousy.

Shen Qinglan stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Shen Qinglan, a daughter of the common people, meets Lord Zhizhou, Lord Meng, and Lord Liu."

Su Shiyi stroked his beard and nodded. Sure enough, his appearance was as handsome as the young prince said.

"Ms. Shen, I am here today because I have an agenda to convey. I would also like to invite everyone in the Shen family to follow the order."

Su Shiyi said as he took an imperial edict from the bodyguard.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall stood up one after another and knelt down.

"Today in Fuguang County, Qingyou County, and Hejin County, the floods have not been cleared away, and the victims are not safe. I feel sorry for them. I remember that the Shen family of the Emperor Shang was loyal to the country and always benefited the people. He specially sent his co-prefect to help the affected people. I also heard that he

My legitimate daughter, Shen Qinglan, has a pure heart and a blessing, so she takes care of the entrustment, prays after receiving the order, and goes to the affected area in person to show her kindness."

After Su Shiyi finished reading the imperial edict, everyone in the Shen family except Shen Qinglan was shocked. What on earth is going on?

"When a daughter of the people bows down to thank the Holy Grace, she will surely live up to her expectations."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, he kowtowed to the throne three times. The rest of the Shen family also came to their senses and said "Kowtow to the Holy Grace" in unison, and then kowtowed three times in succession.

"Everyone, get up and sit down." Su Shiyi said, personally handing the imperial edict into Shen Qinglan's hands.

"Thank you, Lord Zhizhou." Shen Qinglan saluted.

"Miss Shen, you don't have to be polite. I am also acting under orders. Since the imperial edict has arrived, you still need to act quickly. If you need my help, just say it." Su Shiyi said.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhizhou, that the daughter of the people will immediately go to the three affected counties tomorrow to check out the supplies needed in these disaster areas. After collecting them within a few days, they will be sent to each county immediately, and then the local county government will distribute them. The women of the people will also An altar will be set up and prayers will be held for seven days.”

After listening to Shen Qinglan's words, Su Shiyi nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time he couldn't help but marvel at her arrangement.

I didn't expect that a woman in a boudoir could be so organized and calm in the face of this sudden holy will.

Liu Rulin couldn't help but smile. Miss Shen seemed to be not only outstanding in literary talent, but also talented in taking charge of affairs.

The other members of the Shen family were still in a state of surprise and confusion, not knowing why they were suddenly ordered to do so.

Meng Yitang was also a little surprised. How could an order suddenly be issued and he was completely unaware of it?

He used to manage these things, but now a new magistrate has arrived. He could have taken over this hot potato directly, but now a young woman has stepped in and used the merchants' money. Isn't this a slap in his face?

At this time, the new governor completely removed himself from this incident and suppressed his former governor. This can be said to have accomplished multiple things with one stone.

As a result, his hope of going to Beijing becomes even slimmer...

"Now that the decree has been conveyed and Miss Shen has a plan, I will take my leave now. I will send a team of people for your dispatch early tomorrow morning," Su Shiyi said.

"Thank you, Lord Zhizhou." Shen Qinglan saluted Su Shiyi again.

After that, Su Shiyi left with the people.

Uncle Shen Zhang stood up quickly and led the men of the Shen family to send them out respectfully.

-

After Zhizhou left, only the female relatives of the Shen family were left in the hall.

When Auntie Wang Yumei saw the person walking away, she hurriedly said: "Sisi, show me to Auntie quickly!"

Shen Qinglan handed the imperial edict into her hands. Wang Yumei took a look at it and handed it to the Madam.

"Sisi, what's going on? Why did His Majesty suddenly issue an order for our Shen family to come to support the disaster?" Mother Yu Yinghui asked.

Shen Qinglan shook her head and pretended to be innocent, "I don't know, mother, what's going on? What if my daughter doesn't do well?"

Although she said this, Yan'er knew that she had already known about this, otherwise she would not have said it was a "good thing" on the way here.

Mrs. Tai recited three lines of "Amitabha" in succession, and then said: "Perhaps someone is afraid of the financial resources of our Shen family, so they submitted a letter to ask for memorial, otherwise the officials would not do this..."

Yu Yinghui was also very worried. She felt her heart was heavy and she was hammering away repeatedly.

"Ah Hui, are you okay?"

Wang Yumei quickly walked to her side and helped her touch her chest.

"Yinghui, you are a pregnant woman, don't be too anxious. What will happen if the fetal gas is injured?" Mrs. Tai advised.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward, "Mom, it's okay, don't worry. Isn't it just for disaster relief? Our Shen family is as rich as the enemy. The disasters in the three counties are unbearable. Instead of worrying here, we might as well wait for the disaster. When uncle and the others come back, they should think carefully about the countermeasures."

"Sisi is right, we should wait until they come back to discuss it carefully." Wang Yumei agreed.

"This is a great achievement if you do it well. If you don't do it well, I'm afraid..." Yu Yinghui said with tears in her eyes.

The madam also sighed, and then looked at Shen Qinglan. She always felt that this matter was not that simple. As her granddaughter, I am afraid that she was not completely ignorant.
