Chapter 66: Asking the Blind Question
After Shen Manqiu went back, he kept thinking about how to rob the 30,000 taels of disaster silver.
It's a pity that I've thought about almost all of the 36 plans, but I still have no clue.
Seeing her restless appearance, Xiaohong said with concern: "Miss, is today's meal not to your taste?" Why don't I go and make some for you again? ”
"What? Oh no, I think something. Shen Manqiu came back to his senses a little and shook his head slightly.
Suddenly, Xiaohong said with emotion: "Miss, you are so powerful, you are ...... It's ......"
She was surprised to find that the silly eldest lady was always happy and carefree in front of her before, but since Shen Manqiu regained her senses, especially after winning the next cottage boss, she has become unfathomable.
Although Shen Manqiu has done a lot of things for the cottage and has reaped huge benefits for the cottage, the smile on her face is much less, and more often she is seen busy or contemplative.
Who would have thought that behind the scenery, how much effort and hardship Shen Manqiu had put in? And she's just a sixteen-year-old girl!
As one of the closest people around Shen Manqiu, whenever Shen Manqiu led everyone to achieve results and was recognized and praised by everyone, Xiaohong would feel sincerely happy and proud.
But I don't know why, every time she sees Shen Manqiu's tired and worried expression, she feels indescribably sad and sad in her heart.
Although Shen Manqiu behaved extremely mysteriously, often did things that made people panic and fear, and said some incomprehensible things, Xiaohong could still feel that the eldest lady was actually very good to her.
"Awesome what? I can't do anything about those disaster silver! Shen Manqiu said disapprerovingly.
Xiaohong said anxiously: "Really, I have never seen someone as powerful as the eldest lady, if you don't believe it, I can swear ......"
Shen Manqiu was immediately amused by her small appearance, and didn't say that she was rare and weird, but just smiled lightly.
"Miss, if you really can't do it, you can find someone to help!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiaohong didn't know if she believed her words, and knew that she was thinking about those disaster silver things, so she dared to try to ask.
Shen Manqiu muttered to himself, "Looking for someone to help?" Looking for someone, help? Find, people ......"
As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Xiaohong's hand and said, "Do you know who our biggest official here is?" ”
Hearing Xiaohong's inadvertent reminder, Shen Manqiu suddenly woke up: her eyes were too limited to her own identity, she just thought of the manpower in Qifengshan, and the most of them were the various forces in Fengcheng County, but she didn't think about the outside world at all, just like a frog at the bottom of a well, her vision and thoughts were trapped.
At this moment, breaking the rigid thinking, Shen Manqiu's thinking was broad and cheerful, and he immediately had a new idea.
Since the above allocated funds for disaster relief, at least it shows that there are still officials in the imperial court who care about the lives of the people, and the official position should not be low, otherwise it will not affect this kind of decision-making at the national level.
So for those officials who really want to do something for the people, naturally they don't want to see their innocent hearts become an opportunity for those corrupt officials to make money, anyway, she never thought of getting involved in those disaster silver, it is better to simply poke the matter up, even if it can't give these corrupt officials a painful lesson, at least it should be able to let those disaster money be used where it should be.
Seeing Xiaohong shaking her head in confusion, Shen Manqiu knew that she was asking Yu Blind, threw down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I'll go find my eldest brother and ask!" ”
"Hey!" Looking at the figure who left in a hurry without eating two bites of food, Xiaohong couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Jingbei had just helped Dang Yuan, Xia Ziwen, Wang Ying and others to count the harvested property into the warehouse, when he saw Shen Manqiu coming in a hurry, he said in surprise: "Bing'er, didn't you go to rest?" Have you eaten? ”
Shen Manqiu nodded and said, "I've eaten, big brother, what about you?" ”
"I ate early in the morning, you are in such a hurry to come to me, is there something wrong?" Shen Jingbei nodded with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Ah, Bing'er, you shouldn't have thought of how to get those disaster silver......
Shen Manqiu said noncommittally: "It has something to do with that, I want to ask if there are any big officials around us?" ”
"Taoism? What do you do with Taoist temples? Shen Jingbei asked in disbelief.
Shen Manqiu was stunned and said: "It's not a Taoist temple, it's a big official of the imperial court, it's better to be more honest and love the people." ”
"Nearby officials? Our Fengcheng County is naturally the county magistrate Zhu Chenglin, and out of Fengcheng County is Qingzhou, and the biggest official should be Qingzhou Luo Zhifu. Shen Jingbei thought for a while.
Shen Manqiu smiled and said, "Needless to say, Zhu Chenglin, big brother, do you know how that Luo Zhifu is an official?" ”
"I know this too well, what are you asking for, what does this have to do with those disaster silver?" Shen Jingbei asked puzzled.
