Chapter 57 Arrived in Fuguang County

Du Yunkui and the little thin man looked at each other, and then took out an ingot of gold and a letter from his arms.

"Miss Shen, this is the evidence of our transaction."

Shen Qinglan took the two items, opened the letter, and saw that it was indeed Meng Jingming!This guy was so stupid that he looked for them twice.

"Mr. Meng said that if we fail to handle our errands this time, we will take the officers and soldiers up the mountain to suppress the bandits, so we dare not be careless. If we offend, please forgive me, Miss Shen." The little thin man said.

"Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, and we can be regarded as acquaintances without fighting."

Facing this group of bandits, all Shen Qinglan could think of were words from martial arts novels.

Du Yunkui avoided her gaze, and seemed a little guilty, "Since Ms. Shen is so generous, I, Qiyazhai, are also willing to make friends with Ms. Shen."

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Okay, a gentleman."

Du Yunkui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then responded: "It's hard to catch a horse!"

This little lady actually called him a gentleman!
It's just unbelievable.

No one has ever said such a thing to him in this life.

But Shen Qinglan didn't think so, she even thought that people in Jianghu should talk like this.But Du Yunkui seemed a little excited?
"Brother Du, we still have important things to do, so don't disturb us."

"Bon Voyage."

After a strange "robbery", Shen Qinglan and his party finally entered Fuguang County.

It was already afternoon at this time, Zhou Dashan and Zhou Dahe brothers searched for a long time before they found a decent inn and asked them to send all their luggage there.

Although today's Fuguang County is not full of starvation, there are skinny people everywhere, no matter men, women or children.

On the street, a country gentleman who was once well-known in the area was also reduced to no fixed place.

Seeing this situation, both Shen Qinglan and Yan'er couldn't help but have red eyes, Zhou Dashan gave out all his rations, and would rather starve himself.

Standing on the street, Shen Qinglan couldn't help sighing: "It's been almost a year since the flood, why are the people here still like this? I thought the county would be better, but now it seems that there are probably no one in the village."

"Yeah..." Zhou Dashan is an emotional guy, he wiped away his tears and asked, "Miss, what should we do next?"

"You take that squire to the inn later, I have something to ask him."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qinglan turned around and walked towards the inn, and everyone followed immediately.

"Miss, why are you asking him? Why don't we just ask the magistrate of Fuguang County?" Yan'er asked.

"The rich merchants have ended up in such a land, presumably because of their own kindness, they have helped too many people. If he was in the spirit of self-protection, it was only a year old, so it wouldn't be like this." Shen Qinglan replied.

"So the lady wants to help him?"

"Well, helping him is also helping yourself."

Yan'er still didn't understand, but she was always right.
-
Not long after returning to the inn, Shen Qinglan had just washed his face when Zhou Dashan brought him over.

Shen Qinglan was also very polite, first saluted him, and then said: "Hello, old sir."

The old man was in low spirits and depressed, without looking up, he just asked: "I don't know why this young lady called the old man here?"

"Old man, I am Shen Qinglan, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family in Luoping City. I was ordered by the emperor to come to Fuguang County for disaster relief. Since I am new here and I am not familiar with the place, please give me some advice." The other party has doubts.

As soon as he heard the words of the Shen family in Luoping City, the old gentleman suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, with tears in his cloudy eyes.

"Really? The Shen family is willing to help the disaster victims in Fuguang County tide over the difficulties?"

"of course."

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Sir, please sit down first."

Yan'er and Zhou Dashan helped the old man to sit down, and Shen Qinglan continued: "We came this time mainly to inquire about the disaster situation in the three counties of Fuguang County, Qingyou County, and Hejin County, and counted the number of people and all the victims. We will send the letters to the Shen family for the necessary items, and my family will help purchase them. After the situation stabilizes, if the victims want to re-plant the land or do business, they can also cooperate with our Shen family. Please also The old gentleman believes me and tells me the truth."

"The Shen family is an imperial merchant, and has gained a good reputation for so many years. Our Situ family has also done business with the Shen family before." The old man said.

"That's great, I didn't expect to meet business partners here." Shen Qinglan smiled.

Mr. Situ first clasped his fists at Shen Qinglan, then sighed, "The total number of disaster victims in these three counties is probably nearly 20."

"So much?" Yan'er exclaimed.

……
-
The next day, Shen Qinglan brought Yan'er and Ji Fan to the county government office, while Zhou Dashan and Zhou Dahe set off back to Luoping City with Shen Qinglan's souvenir.

When she saw Cheng Guanwen, the magistrate of Fuguang County, Yan'er snorted: "This guy is white and fat."

"See the county magistrate." Shen Qinglan said.

"Who is in the hall? Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?" Cheng Guanwen reprimanded, and then he was about to judge the crime, "Come here, let these troublemakers..."

Shen Qinglan unhurriedly took out the imperial decree from the package in Yan'er's arms, and held it up high. Seeing this, the county magistrate Cheng hurriedly stood up.

"Ji Fan, read this edict to the magistrate."

Ji Fan took the imperial decree and read it over and over again, and the county magistrate Cheng immediately changed his face after hearing it.

"It turned out to be Miss Imperial Envoy, please forgive me for not being greeted by the lower officials."

"I'm not an official, and I'm just a daughter's family. The county magistrate's words like that really hurt me."

This guy, at first glance, is a good player of flattery.

"Yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue, and please ask Miss Shen to move."

Cheng County magistrate took them to the reception hall of the county government office, ordered people to serve tea, and laughed the whole time, as if they had seen the wrongdoing, and did not seem to worry about the people at all.

"Miss Shen, I don't know how to help the disaster?" Cheng County magistrate asked.

Shen Qinglan put down the teacup, did not answer the question, and first boasted: "This tea is good."

"The Shen family is the richest man in the imperial business, so it's hard for you to still like it."

"Magistrate Cheng, you are a parent officer, and I'm just here to rescue. How can the county magistrate come to ask me about how to provide disaster relief?"

Cheng County Magistrate's smile froze on his face, "This... I don't know what kind of disaster relief Miss Shen said, the mansion is going to do it."

"Hasn't the county magistrate investigated the disaster-affected population in Fuguang County?"

"This, it's not less than 15..."

This guy can exaggerate to this extent!

Yan'er couldn't help complaining, "Fuguang County used to be a well-known rich county in Luoping. After the flood for so long, there are still 15 victims? There are so many victims, and the county magistrate is very mellow."
