Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 62 The Cheng Mansion secretly hid disaster relief food

Early the next morning, everyone in the Cheng family was still busy finishing the fire.

When Shen Qinglan came with Yan'er and Ji Fan, several houses were already in a mess.

"Master Magistrate, what's going on?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"A fire broke out suddenly last night. The cause of the fire has not yet been found out. It is estimated that some unscrupulous people set the fire, which made Miss Shen laugh." Cheng Guanwen said.

"How could it be like this... I originally wanted to discuss with you today about providing relief food, but I'm not in a hurry. If you need help, just ask. My two brothers are already preparing food and wood. If you need it, I can help you." Ask them to buy more wood or something and help you repair your yard."

"I don't need to worry about it, Miss Shen. Disaster relief is a big deal. Why should it be delayed due to my personal affairs? Besides, how can I accept your things? This is suspected of corruption and bribery."

Hearing what she said, Cheng Guanwen quickly refused. What if she discovered her food reserves?

"Hey, Lord Magistrate? You just said that some unruly people set the fire? There are disaster victims outside, are there still unruly people?" Yan'er said sarcastically, she couldn't stand Cheng Guanwen.

Cheng Guanwen also realized that it was inappropriate for him to say this as a parent official, and he quickly said: "This girl doesn't know that if the victims are hungry and anxious, they can do anything. I also made a mistake for a moment, please ask Miss Shen Don’t be offended.”

Shen Qinglan did not answer, and Yan'er continued: "The magistrate is so sure that the victims burned down your house? This is strange. Everyone praises the magistrate for loving the people like his own children. How could the people of Fuguang County burn your house?" Where’s the house?”

Cheng Guanwen looked troubled, and then explained: "I am just guessing, and there is no evidence. Maybe... he is a robber."

"Then it's even weirder. Fuguang County is like this, and the robbers can still target your mansion. Could it be that the robbers have some secret?" Yan'er continued her verbal attack.

"You!" Cheng Guanwen was so retorted that he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't get angry immediately, so he had to reply angrily, "That's nonsense!"

Shen Qinglan then slowly began to "teach" Yan'er: "What do you know? This robber always makes malicious assumptions, thinking that Cheng Zhixian's house has food, so he comes to burn the house. In fact, he is just hungry and angry for a while, and has nowhere to take revenge. , and then the revenge came to the adults. They don’t understand, don’t we know? You see, it’s all burned like this, and there’s no food left!”

"This is exactly what Miss Shen said." Cheng Guanwen said.

At this moment, a tall man in black clothes broke in in full view of everyone, and Yan'er shouted: "The robber is coming!"

When Cheng Guanwen saw the robber running towards the kitchen, he quickly called for someone to catch him. Ji Fan, who was behind Shen Qinglan, also immediately rushed towards the kitchen. During this period, several servants of the Cheng family tried to stop him, but they did not stop him.

Cheng Guanwen quickly said to Shen Qinglan: "Miss Shen, this is my official's family matter. If you don't bother your people, I will just let my subordinates catch it."

"It's your family matter, and it's also a matter of theft. The thieves have broken into the house. Ji Fan can't stand it if he doesn't take action." Shen Qinglan resisted.

"What do you mean, Miss Shen? Why do your people want to interfere with my family affairs?" Cheng Guanwen asked suppressing his anger.

"Although the daughter of the people is just a white lady, Ji Fan was sent by the magistrate to assist me. He is the yamen commander of the magistrate. This is considered his responsibility. I can't bear with him. I ask the magistrate for your understanding. "Shen Qinglan explained.

Yan'er smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Magistrate, Commander Ji is very skilled in martial arts and he will not let the thief escape."

Cheng Guanwen saw that the matter was about to be exposed, but he had no choice but to stand there and watch in fear. The thief and Ji Fan had a lively fight in the kitchen, and soon all the windows in the kitchen were broken.

"Ouch! How can we catch a thief? The kitchen has been smashed!" Cheng Guanwen said.

Seeing this, Cheng Guanwen's beautiful concubine not far away couldn't stand anymore. She knew that there was the master's hidden grain, and she wanted to sneak away during the chaos. Cheng Guanwen's wife saw through her thoughts and pulled her away.

Caught her arm.

"What are you going to do?" Mrs. Cheng asked.

"I'm a little dizzy for a moment and want to go back to the house to rest." The beautiful concubine said and wanted to go back to the house.

"Humph, my aunt has such a delicate body. Master and I are both here. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you don't want to go anywhere!" Mrs. Cheng said.

Shen Qinglan noticed this scene and couldn't help but secretly lamented that Zhixian Cheng's house was also in a mess.

In the kitchen, the sound of fighting continued, and everyone found that a lot of rice was scattered.

"Huh? What's going on?" Shen Qinglan stood on tiptoe and looked inside. After a while, the thief in black jumped out of the window and escaped.

Ji Fan came out of the kitchen with a handful of rice in his hand and some injuries on his face.

"Commander Ji! Hurry up and chase him!" Magistrate Cheng shouted.

Ji Fan lowered his head towards County Magistrate Cheng, "My subordinates are incompetent and have no martial arts skills. Let the thief run away. Please ask Magistrate Cheng to send someone to chase him."

"Commander Ji! How are you?"

After Shen Qinglan said that, she pulled Yan'er and quickly walked to Ji Fan's side.

"Ah, Commander Ji is injured! Magistrate Cheng, you'd better send your own people to chase him!" Yan'er turned around and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Commander Ji spread his hands, and Magistrate Cheng who was chasing him broke into a cold sweat when he saw this.

"Back to Miss Shen, when I was fighting with the gangster, I accidentally broke the kitchen cabinet and found a secret door with hundreds of bags of rice inside." Ji Fan said, looking at Cheng Guanwen.

"Ah! There really is something private!" Yan'er pretended to be surprised.

Cheng Guanwen's face turned dark and blue. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Miss Shen, can you take a step to speak?"

Shen Qinglan gave Ji Fan a look to indicate that he was optimistic about the food. He did not hide it at all, and smiled at Cheng Guanwen: "Of course."

"Miss Shen, please come with me."

-

Arriving at the main hall of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Guanwen nodded and asked Shen Qinglan to sit down.

"I wonder what the magistrate called me for?" Shen Qinglan asked pretending to be stupid.

"this……"

Cheng Guanwen looked embarrassed, but Shen Qinglan was not in a hurry and just smiled and waited.

"Miss Shen..." After hesitating for a while, he took out a one-hundred-tael banknote from his sleeve, "Actually, I don't know about this food matter... I have only been in office for three years.

I have only lived in the mansion for a short time, please... can you help me cover it up, I really don't know."

Shen Qinglan took out her handkerchief and pretended to wipe her sweat. It was ridiculous that she dared to take out a hundred taels of silver in front of her.

"But sir, those grains don't look like old years' accumulated grains, but rather like new grains. There seems to be an official seal printed on that grain bag!"
