Chapter 82 The Flatterer Comes
In two days, everything was connected from Shanshui Village to Qingshi Town and then to Celadon Town.

Qin Yue stood at the entrance of the courtyard with her hands behind her back, looking at the spacious road, and sighed, it was still so efficient.

It is true that money can communicate with the gods.

Shitou stood beside her, "What to do next? Just give me orders."

"Put a quilt on Xiao Shui, drive the ox cart, load a few bags of grain, and then load a few baskets of potatoes and pumpkins. Let's go to other villages to have a look."

"Can I follow you?"

"I'm talking about us, what do you think?"

Shi Shi chuckled, "Great, I can finally go out with my wife."

Like a child, he ran in and came out after a while leading the bullock cart.

He also got her a cotton cloak and put it on her body, then tied it up for her, carried her into the car, and then sat at the front of the car.

The two of them were heading towards Celadon Town, because Mrs. Huang was in charge of Qingshi Town. She was leading people to give porridge and food at the entrance of Huang's house. Each family with their household registration could come and receive one or two taels of silver, only in Qingshi Town. people within the jurisdiction.

Therefore, she wanted to go to the other side. Whenever she passed a village along the way, she would drive her ox cart there to have a look.

As long as they are in need in the village, after verification, they will be given [-] kilograms of grain, [-] kilograms of potatoes, five pumpkins, and half a tael of silver.

For ten needy households in a village, that is [-] kilograms of grain and [-] taels of silver. This is a big expense, and it is a bit difficult for her now.

While distributing it, he secretly took it out from the space.

Zhuang Shi just drove the car and listened to her instructions, and did not notice this at all.

Like those whose houses collapsed, there was nothing she could do. She could only leave the matter to their village chief to resolve.

Qin Yue and Zhuang Shi directly took action against those who wanted to take advantage of them and ignored those who dared to step forward to grab them.

After they left, these people cursed harshly behind their backs. Even if Qin Yue heard them, she pretended not to hear them.

What she earns is merit points. As long as she gets this, everything else doesn't matter.

Madam Huang had been waiting for Qin Yue, but unfortunately, he didn't come, but the official channels on both sides were open. She heard from shopkeeper Xu that Qin Yue paid for it.

Not only that, she also helped all needy households within the jurisdiction of Celadon Town.

Not only did she use up the 1000 taels she gave her, but she also paid back a lot.

The old lady said with emotion: "This girl is so low-key in her work. She delivers food and money to her home without leaving her name, and then turns around and leaves. She is the only kind person like her."

Let's put it this way, because of the actions of Mrs. Huang and Qin Yue, the people of these two towns lived in peace.

Within a few days, the entire official road in Weiyuan County was cleaned up.

This was not done voluntarily by the people, but the government mobilized and forced the people to clean it up for free.

Even if they don't release grain to alleviate the disaster, the county magistrate actually invites all the wealthy households to gather at the county government office, including bankers.

When she received the invitation, she almost cursed.

Without thinking, she could guess that this county magistrate was a bad official, a cowardly official, and a corrupt official.

As soon as he inquired about her condition, he would know that after building the house and then relieving the people, there would only be living expenses left.

Grind your teeth, be cruel, and go ahead!

Instead of taking the bullock cart or taking Zhuang Shi with me, I went to the Yamen on foot alone.

Walking on the official road, I encountered many people selling their sons and daughters, but they were not from Qingshi Town.

Seeing this, she was even more convinced that the county magistrate was a dog official.

The only money he had on him was not a penny, and all of it was given to them.

When I came to the Yamen, the tea party was actually held in the court hall to poke fun at his uncle!
There were so many people here, all trying to curry favor with the county magistrate. Qin Yue found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

She remained silent while she secretly took note of the conversations between wealthy people, extracting the information she wanted from them.

At the top of the courtroom, the man in official uniform should be the magistrate of Weiyuan County.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the magistrate coughed lightly and the hall immediately became quiet.

"Everyone, Xue invited you here this time because the people have suffered greatly from the snow disaster and are waiting for food, cotton clothes, and quilts to be rescued. I also ask you to help the people in Weiyuan County and do your best. Those who have money contribute money to help the people tide over the crisis, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the people."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the people below.

I have done a good job in saving face, and I have to say that I have done a great job in portraying myself as someone who is devoted to the people.

The flatterer is here! "I, from the Zhu family in Weiyuan County, donate 1000 taels."

The magistrate smiled and nodded.

If there is one, then there are two, "I'm from the Zhao family in Weiyuan County, please donate 500 taels."

"I'm from the Huang family in Qingshi Town, donating 2000 taels."

Qin Yue glanced at the man. He was there that night. He was Mrs. Huang's eldest son and the head of the Huang family. He actually came in person.

After donating money, someone will keep accounts. The people in the yamen know how many people are coming.

At the end, Qin Yue didn't stand up.

At this time, everyone looked at her. Qin Yue snorted and stood up slowly.

"I am a farmer in Shanshui Village, Weiyuan County. A few months ago, I was still in poverty. I accidentally dug a ginseng in the mountains and sold it to the Minsheng Pharmacy in Qingshi Town. I got 500 taels of silver and built a ginseng. I bought about a hundred acres of wasteland for my house, and I only have more than 300 taels left on hand."

Having said this, she glanced at everyone and then said.

"The people were suffering. Naturally, my banker couldn't just watch. I spent 50 taels of silver to hire people to clear the official road between the two towns. Then I rescued all the needy households in Celadon Town. Now I only have a dozen taels of silver in hand. On the way here, I gave it to those families who sold their sons and daughters. May I ask, sir, how can I donate?"

"hiss"

Magistrate Xue's expression was quite ugly, and he glared at the master next to him.

"Who invited her here?"

"It was recommended by the mayor of Qingshi Town. He said this banker is very rich."

"Go check!"

"Yes."

He looked at Qin Yue carefully. This young lady had an average appearance and a middle-to-upper-class temperament. She was wearing cotton clothes and no jewelry. It seemed that she had invited the wrong person.

So she cleared her throat and said, "Madam, this must be a misunderstanding. Now that you're here, let's take a walk around the county."

"Then I will take my leave."

Qin Yue nodded slightly to Magistrate Xue, turned around and left this disgusting place.

The head of the Huang family, Huang Dongfeng, should not have interacted with her, because Huang Wei was now very interested in Qin Yue.

He has been glaring in the dark. His daughter's leg was broken because of her, and the job he just got for his son-in-law was also lost because of her.

More than a dozen guards are all recuperating from their injuries, and their families have to contribute money to support them.

Coupled with the Huang family's troubles, she hated Qin Yue even more.

He asked the mayor to hand over the list, just to find out her details.

Unexpectedly, the iron cock never plucks a hair.

This also showed that the old lady didn't give her much money, so he felt more relieved now.

The Huang family's father and daughter all wanted to seize the old lady's dowry, but unfortunately no one got their wish.

It wasn't that he wasn't ruthless enough, but that besides the two loyal girls, there was someone secretly protecting the old lady. He was a person with very high martial arts skills, so he didn't dare to attack easily.

Every time he got sick, every time he saved the day, it really made him angry.

After coming out of the Yamen, Qin Yue pouted at the ground.

It was noon, she found a restaurant, sat down in the corner of the hall, ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine, and ate and drank slowly.

There were many guests, and it was filled up in no time.

"Hey, did you hear that Magistrate Xue organized donations from wealthy households again?"

"Bah, it all fell into his pocket. That time it rained heavily, that time it snowed heavily, and this time it only took more than half a year for him to plunder tens of thousands of taels of property."

"Shh, be quiet."

"What are you afraid of? Who in the city doesn't know about this?"

"Misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"One is a corrupt official, and another is still a corrupt official. How can the people live?"
