Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 63 A county’s parents and officials bow down to the common people

When Cheng Guanwen saw that Shen Qinglan refused to accept this trick, he felt extremely anxious. The hand holding the banknote hung in the air for a long time.

Shen Qinglan put away the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, do you know what the crime of embezzling disaster relief food is?"

Cheng Guanwen was so frightened that he dropped the banknote in his hand and shed tears. Of course he knew that embezzling disaster relief food was a major crime that implicated the nine tribes!

"Miss Shen, my aunt..."

Seeing that Cheng Guanwen was about to kneel down, Shen Qinglan hurriedly stopped him: "But... I can also pretend not to know."

Although she said this, Cheng Guanwen still knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Shen Qinglan felt extremely panicked in her heart. A high-ranking county official could ruin his own people in this way. When the incident was exposed, he did not hesitate to kneel down and beg for mercy like the common people. It was really sad that the world was deteriorating.

"Miss Shen's great kindness will never be forgotten..."

Cheng Guanwen cried with snot and tears, and Shen Qinglan sneered. The fame that this guy gained after studying sage books for so many years was really in vain.

"Magistrate Cheng, hurry up and invite me. The daughter of the people cannot afford such a big gift from you."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, Cheng Guanwen sat down again.

"I know that the magistrate is just confused for a moment. I can pretend that I don't know. It's just that this food..."

"I'll send someone to the porridge shop you set up immediately, and I won't leave a single bag behind!"

Shen Qinglan smiled with satisfaction, "It's inconvenient for your people to deliver it, so let my people deliver it to you. That way you can avoid suspicion."

Cheng Guanwen wiped his tears and said, "Miss Shen is thoughtful."

"Sir, the daughter of the people was ordered to come to provide disaster relief. I hope that you will cooperate with us in this disaster relief matter. Wouldn't it be better if we each completed our own errands?" Shen Qinglan said.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate with you so that the disaster in Fuguang County can be completely eliminated."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

Shen Qinglan said and stood up. Cheng Guanwen also stood up immediately and said: "Then Ji Fan..."

"Please rest assured, sir. Since I have the ability to win this job, I have the ability to ask Ji Fan to keep his mouth shut."

Cheng Guanwen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's my fault that I'm worrying too much. Miss Shen can leave now."

After finishing his errand, Murong Duan changed his clothes and returned to Zhao Shun.

"How is it?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Today, Miss Shen asked her subordinate to play the role of a robber and went to the kitchen of the Cheng Mansion. She also ordered Ji Fan to fight with me. It seemed that we were fighting fiercely, but in fact we were looking for the whereabouts of the food. After finding the food, the subordinate He climbed over the wall and escaped," Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun played with the chess piece in his hand and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"I heard from Ji Fan that Miss Shen was called away by Magistrate Cheng, probably because she wanted to plead for mercy." Murong Duan replied.

Zhao Shun chuckled and looked up at Murong Duan, "What do you think she will do?"

"My subordinates guess...Miss Shen will definitely not associate with him, and she probably won't agree."

"Then you are wrong. That little fox is soft-hearted and cunning. He will probably extort a fortune and then use this matter to force Cheng Guanwen to help her properly."

After saying that, Zhao Shun frowned slightly. That girl always thought of things very simply. Fortunately, he had a backup plan.

"Is there any news from Luoping City recently?" Zhao Shun asked again.

"Miss Shen reported the disaster situation in Fuguang County to Zhizhou. Now the eldest son and the eldest master of the Shen family are busy purchasing, and the second master is bringing some food to Fuguang County. By the way, young master, the emissary intercepted someone last night. This letter from Luoping City was sent by Meng Shantang to Cheng Guanwen." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun nodded, holding a chess piece and placing it on the chessboard, looking like he was strategizing, "Be optimistic about the greasy magistrate of Fuguang County. No letters will be allowed to enter. Also, Shen Qingshi's journey here may not be peaceful either." , I heard that Meng Yitang also raised many dead soldiers, remember to send someone to keep an eye on them."

"Yes, I am resigning."

The porridge farm had replenished food, and Shen Qinglan became busy again. She was so tired that she rested against the porridge shed and let others take her place.

There was a cold stove behind the porridge shed, which was currently cooking hot porridge. Shen Qinglan saw that a young yamen servant was also tired, so she asked him to go aside to rest while she looked at the porridge pot.

"Sister Shen, you are a kind-hearted person, but you don't know why your engagement was annulled?" the young Yamen servant asked.

Shen Qinglan paused her hand and asked: "Then why do you think my engagement was annulled?"

"It must be because that guy is blind!" the young Yamen servant said with a smile.

"What's your name? You look young."

"In response to Sister Shen, the younger one's name is Tao Guan'er, and she is fifteen years old this year."

Shen Qinglan looked him up and down, but couldn't tell that this guy was fifteen years old, and he didn't look at Yifeng's age.

"Then you come out to do this hard work, aren't you afraid?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. Although Brother Ji is very powerful in martial arts, if we really fight, he is no match for me!"

Tao Guan'er smiled proudly and helped Shen Qinglan add firewood to the stove pit.

Shen Qinglan also added a few more sticks to it, but Tao Guan'er quickly stopped her and said, "Good sister, please don't add any more. If the pot continues like this, the pot will be burnt before the rice is cooked!"

Shen Qinglan said "Oh", then looked at him seriously, and looked at him a few times again: "With your small body, you can actually beat Ji Fan? You are so good at bragging, your master can't Kick you out!"

"I'm not bragging. If you don't believe me, call Brother Ji over and ask him personally!"

Tao Guan'er looked unconvinced, and Shen Qinglan waved to call Ji Fan over.

"Commander Ji, this little Tao Guan'er said that you are no match for him in a fight. Is that true?"

Ji Fan shook his head, "I don't want to fight him at all. This kid is used to playing dirty tricks."

"Well……"

Shen Qinglan was surprised, is this brat so powerful?

"Look, pretty sister, I didn't lie to you!" Tao Guan'er smiled, her eyes narrowed to a slit.

"What kind of dirty tricks can you play?" Shen Qinglan was very interested in this.

Taoguan'er was a little kid, so he moved closer to her and whispered in her ear: "I know how to use poison and hidden weapons."

"oh……"

Shen Qinglan was unbelievable. This little guy really mastered some incredible skills!

"Then can you teach me?" Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, after we finish the disaster relief work, you and the master can ask me to let me stay in Luoping, and I will teach you slowly," Tao Guan'er said.

"But can your master agree?" Shen Qinglan was a little embarrassed.

"Wouldn't it be nice if you spent more money? I've been traveling around with my master all these years, and I don't even have time to study hidden weapons." Tao Guan'er curled her lips in grievance.

"Okay, let me try."

Hearing Shen Qinglan's agreement, Tao Guan'er's face smiled again, and her small eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Thank you sister."
