Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fanbang Spies
The county magistrate also came to the field to watch Pei Qin's family dig sweet potatoes, and a bunch of people from the entire Taiping Town who got the letter came and came in a big circle to watch.
Someone came to touch and take a look, and they wanted to take a piece of this rare sweet potato.
Pei Qian kept staring, hiring someone to do the work, so she pointed to the two little ones of Sun Quanliang's family, and looked at the sweet potatoes with Alan Chang's little maid to prevent anyone from stealing them. Seeing that someone wanted to go along after touching her, without saying a word, she ran over quickly, grabbed the person who stole the sweet potato, pulled her clothes, snatched the sweet potato from her clothes, and scolded with an angry little face, "You shameless thief!" How dare you steal my sweet potatoes!? ”
When everyone heard that someone was stealing sweet potatoes, they all immediately looked at it.
The woman hurriedly shouted, "I'm a rare panic, just take a look!" Didn't steal! Don't be a good liar! "There are so many people, she also took a small one, and this dead girl saw it with sharp eyes.
"I saw that you stole it! The sweet potatoes are stuffed into the clothes, and you dare to deny it! The county magistrates are all here! How dare you steal? Shameless! Pei Qian scolded angrily.
The woman's face changed, and she shook off Pei Qian and ran, "Anyway, I didn't steal your sweet potato!" You can't wronged me! ”
"Stop! Don't run! Pei Qian snorted and was about to go up to chase after her.
"Pei Qian!?" Pei Qin strode over and called her.
"Eldest sister! Someone stole a sweet potato! I'm going to chase! Pei Qian turned around, shouted, and hurriedly ran out to chase after her.
The woman ran quite fast, Pei Qian was a step slower, she didn't catch up with her, she came back with a gloomy face, and asked if anyone knew the woman who stole the sweet potato?
Some people say they don't see it clearly, and some people say they look like a daughter-in-law.
Wu Dongsi asked Pei Qin to say a few words, and immediately told the villagers to promote sweet potatoes, and tomorrow the government will post a notice that sweet potatoes will be the new food that Yuanyang County has vigorously promoted.
Sun Lizheng also said that he would urge the villagers to help Pei Qin's family promote sweet potatoes.
Pei Qin asked Wu Dongsi for a landmark plate, engraved on the four signs to the government to promote the sweet potato field, asked the government to seal, and Sun Lizheng signed it.
Wu Dongsi agreed, and immediately asked Chang Sui to take a pen and paper, brush and write a piece of paper, and said that people should engrave the landmark.
Everyone didn't expect that this sweet potato was still so precious, and they would all plant sweet potatoes in the future. After all, this sweet potato has never been planted, and they still conservatively believe that wheat and corn, and millet are serious grains! This sweet potato is still from Fanbang, and one acre of land has two thousand catties, which is too scary!
Some people were afraid of retreating, Pei Qin had expected it a long time ago, opened the door of the workshop, and asked Sun Quanliang and them to pull all the sweet potatoes into the workshop.
Cooking at the workshop at noon.
Although Sun Tiezhu's family doesn't work in the mill anymore, there are still some guys who are there, Pei Qin dried sweet potatoes before and grinded sweet potato noodles at Sun Tiezhu's house.
Mrs. Fang and Yu's, Ruan's family, together with Fang Hui, and Mrs. Fang also helped on the side, and made sweet potato noodles and steamed dumplings with mixed vegetables. Steamed sweet potato flour and multigrain buns.
I pressed the sweet potato noodles with a dumpling noodle machine, fried winter bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots, radish, and cabbage, made honey meat, and stewed a pot full of meat and bone broth.
Sun Quanliang came over with everyone who was working and happily received the meal.
Wu Dongsi only ate a few dishes made of sweet potatoes and baked sweet potatoes last time, and he had never seen sweet potatoes ground into noodles and made into dumplings, steamed buns and noodles.
Last time, it was for good food, but this time it was for the villagers in the town. The people at the grassroots level don't care about what delicious dishes sweet potatoes can be made, they just care about the food that can fill their stomachs.
Fang Laoxiu saw that there were still steamed mixed vegetable dumplings and sweet potato noodles and multigrain buns, so he beckoned the onlookers who had not left to come and try them. They have never planted sweet potatoes and have never seen them, and at first glance let them treat them as food seeds, they will definitely be a little timid, as long as they have eaten and know so many benefits, they will rush to plant them themselves!
The sweet potato flour and multigrain bun is not very delicious, but it is a little thinner than corn corn flour and easy to swallow, but the steamed mixed vegetable dumplings wrapped in sweet potato flour are really delicious, although they look black. It can also be made into noodles, which are really like corn and corn noodles. Those who have tasted and eaten can't help but be tempted.
Zhang Yan didn't use chopsticks, he learned from Sun Tiezhu and Pei Qin, and directly pinched the steamed dumplings with his hands, such a rough thing is difficult to swallow without corn corn noodles, and the most important thing is that the yield is even several times higher than that of corn and corn, and it is supported by the government. He looked at Pei Qin with bright eyes.
Pei Qin was sandwiching a piece of noodles and feeding it to Xiao Xingwang, seeing that he was stuffed with his mouth full, and he was still sucking a noodle hard, laughing happily, as if there was sunshine emanating from her smile and body.
Wang Ting retracted his gaze, "Little uncle! Let's plant sweet potatoes next year! This dumpling is delicious! He looked at those people as if he was afraid, it must not be easy for Pei Qin to promote sweet potatoes.
Zhang Yan looked at his little nephew, hooked his lips and smiled, "Sweet potatoes can't be stored for a long time, and they can't be planted in a big way." ”
"You can grind it into sweet potato noodles!" Wang Ting took a bite of the sweet potato noodle dumplings and said, "Ground into sweet potato noodles, you can store them for a long time like cornmeal, millet noodles and white flour rice!" ”
"It's doable." Zhang Yan said a word, and couldn't help but look at Pei Qin again.
Pei Qin finished eating a bowl of noodles, scooped a large bowl of meat and bone broth, and ate steamed dumplings and drank soup. I thought she was rude before, but if you really put her among these villagers, you can see the difference. The elegance and boldness in the bones, the faint aura.
The farmer is not idle, especially when there is work in the field. After eating a good meal from the owner, after eating, Sun Quanliang led people to the ground again.
Wu Dongsi didn't leave, but asked Sun Lizheng to take the big scale used to collect grain taxes to weigh how many sweet potatoes were grown in the more than seven acres of land, and he needed a specific number to write and hand it over.
Pei Qin saw that there were Fang Li, Feng Shouxing, and Sun Tiezhu over there, so he came over to calculate the output.
Wu Dongsi brought the money and grain master and Xu officials together, holding an abacus and a pen and paper to calculate the specific output of sweet potatoes.
But count on them to calculate, and it is estimated that it will not be finished in an afternoon.
Weigh it here, Pei Qin will make a note on the side, and as soon as the weight comes out, she will be able to get the answer here.
After all the sweet potatoes were dug and weighed, Pei Qin's side had already come up with the final answer, "17,217 catties." Remove the soil on the outside of the sweet potato, and there are 17,000 catties. ”
Master Qian Liang was shocked when he heard her answer, he was still calculating.
Wu Dongsi also looked at Pei Qin with some surprise.
"I just learned mental arithmetic from a teacher." Pei Qin said with a smile.
When the result was calculated, it was the same as the answer calculated by Pei Qin, Wu Dongsi looked at Pei Qin again, and his eyes became more cautious. Shen Songming wouldn't have a relationship with a village girl who had nothing to do with a small town for no reason, and he was so good to her. Even if she has two points of beauty, what kind of lady Shen Songming wants can't marry!?
When I returned to Yamen, when I wrote the excerpts, the wording and emphasis were slightly changed, and I was not so heavy.
The harvested sweet potatoes were also given to the Wang family, the Changyuan family, the Fang family and the Feng family, the Zou Xing family, Sun Tiezhu's family, and Sun Lizheng's family, and Sun Quanliang's family were hired to work in a basket and a basket, and Pei Lizheng's family also got a basket.
Fang Li felt that he had a little bit to give to his own family, looked at the mountains of sweet potatoes, and said, "So many sweet potatoes, are they going to be sold?" "I'm going to sell it for money, so I'm reluctant to give them more!?
"Next year, the whole Yuanyang County will promote sweet potatoes, and these sweet potatoes will be retained!" Pei Qin didn't plan to eat these sweet potatoes either. However, the skin is broken, and the small ones can still be picked out and eaten.
Then take it and sell it! Fang Li smiled and said how much he could sell, and asked Fang Liuming to come over to help his cousin when he didn't have schoolwork.
Fang Laoxiu told Pei Qin to carefully let people look at the sweet potatoes in the workshop, and hurry to him if there is something.
Pei Qin responded and sent them all away.
After a tired day, I had a good rest, and the next day the official of the government came to post a notice, sent a landmark sign to Pei Qin, and wrote the big characters of 'government promotion' and 'sweet potato planting base' according to her requirements, as well as the signatures of Wu Dongsi and Sun Lizheng.
Pei Qin directly instructed the officials to dig pits in the north and south of the land, bury the landmark, and stand on the ground brightly.
In this way, the landmark plaque issued by the government was dug and buried by the yacha, and the villagers also realized more deeply that this sweet potato is a precious thing, and the government attaches so much importance to it.
Pei Lizheng was also in Houshan Village, gathered the villagers, talked about the Wu County Order to inspect the sweet potato harvest and issued a notice, and discussed how to plant sweet potatoes in the village next year.
Only a few people in the town do not have enough to eat, and when they arrive in the village, there are many people who do not have enough to eat every year. A sentence that the family does not need to go hungry after planting sweet potatoes, and there are more and more people who are excited.
Zhu scratched his ears and cheeks a little, that damn little slut got a reward from the government, wouldn't it be even more arrogant and rampant!? The Winter Clothes Festival is still making a fuss about letting the second daughter-in-law become a concubine to straighten it out, wouldn't it be more capable in the future!? It was not their family who caught up with the county master, but it was those few little cheap embryos, the second child restored his fame, and the eldest lang rushed to take the exam, they were afraid that they would not let them borrow their strength!
The Chen family also hated the fire in his heart, and won the reward from the government, why not them!? It's those damn wild eggs!
Old man Pei is more worried, Pei Li is promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the village, if there are two thousand catties per acre of land, the village will not be able to eat enough every year, and the people who borrow grain will definitely have to plant. They are no longer in Houshan Village, only a small workshop bought Pei Lizheng, planted a sweet potato, and bought the hearts of the people in the village, no, ten miles and eight villages, as big as Yuanyang County, I am afraid that they will be missed!
At that time, Fang's death will be lifted out again, and the old Pei family will not have any benefit, and they will be turned out again to be scolded again. Seeing that the situation at home is improving, it is immediately unfavorable to them again!
But the sweet potato was promoted by the government, and a notice was issued, and even the landmark was buried by the government's government, and no one dared to say anything.
Qian Wanxiu rubbed a silk handkerchief and snorted in a dark voice, "It's just that I'm on the side of the county order, a seven-grade petty official!" "Write a letter to your mother's family and let me help you out.
The sweet potatoes here have just begun to be promoted, wheat grows in the ground, and it will take until summer and autumn to plant next year, and the prefect of Runing Mansion has received an anonymous report, saying that Pei Qin took the things of Fanbang to bewitch the people, and wanted to kill the people and subvert the Chu Dynasty. didn't say it directly, but he also made it clear that Pei Qin was a spy in Fanbang and had the heart to rebel.
With such a hat covered, even if Pei Qin cannot be determined to be guilty, in the process of finding out, Pei Qin will be the first to be imprisoned and punished. A girl's family, squatting in prison, has a reputation completely ruined. After being tortured, it is difficult to come out alive!
Pei Qin was at home with someone hired by Sun Quanliang to hold a freshly beaten flaker, shave all the sweet potatoes into slices, dry them and grind the noodles.
Those who are waiting to buy sesame sauce baked cakes can't wait, some people are too lacking in virtue, so they rushed Pei Qin and them out of the stall and waited, and bought a bag in one go, and when it was their turn, they couldn't buy it. It's just that Pei Qin is busy these days, setting up a stall for three days, fishing for two days, and drying nets for two days.
Yu and Mrs. Fang came to give them winter bamboo shoots and asked the cabbage in the field, "It's not that you want to make any spicy cabbage, it will snow immediately, and the cabbage will be frozen, so it's time to start!" ”
"I have ordered a batch of jars, and when the pottery kiln sends the jars, I will collect the cabbage and start!" Of course, Pei Qin will not forget this, and she is still counting on making a fortune with spicy cabbage next spring!
"It's not good if the cabbage is frozen. When to start doing it, the ward will say, and your aunt and I will come over to help! Hire two less, spend less money! "Mrs. Fang grows cabbage every year, afraid that her little baby will plant dozens of acres of land at once, and if she can't get it right, she will lose money.
"Good! I'll go and invite my grandmother and aunt in a few days! Pei Qin's kindness to the old man did not refuse.
Pei Qian didn't like it very much, so she asked them to come over to help, she didn't want money, and she didn't take her salary when the time came, and she ate their food!?
However, she read more and more books, knew more people, and knew that there were some things that she could not say, and her heart should be uncomfortable, and she would not say it suddenly in her head.
Pei Qian smiled and said that she was very welcome, she is also older now, and she will be thirteen in the New Year, and she slowly understands many things. Lao Pei's family is really rich, and there is a Qian family they don't know about supporting them behind. The eldest sister forced the Qian family to be a concubine, and she cheated the old Pei family several times. They must have hated their siblings! Now there are two talents in my grandfather's family, they both come and go, and they can take care of anything. The old Pei family really wants to think about their sisters and brothers, and they have to weigh it!
However, sweet potatoes have been promoted, although some people are not very acceptable, but slowly, many people will definitely grow sweet potatoes and eat a full meal. They will also get a reward, but the old Pei family has no movement at all, which always makes Pei Qian feel a little uneasy.
Soon, Pei Qian felt that her uneasiness was confirmed.
Pei Zongli came over, took snacks to eat and a few pieces of silk and satin, and said that he was here to discuss the matter of Pei Qin and Lu, "Helu is a major event of my daughter's family, and after Helu, Qin'er will be the eldest girl, and she can say kiss!" ”
Pei Qian couldn't bear him to the old Pei family, "My eldest sister and Lu, it's your business!" Don't try to trick us into letting you take advantage of it! ”
Pei Zongli spoke harshly to Pei Qian, and he didn't leave the Fang family's death and their calculations, he was a little helpless, seeing that Pei Qin was very calm and rational, he could only start with Pei Qin, "Qin'er! I'm your father, you're in tune, I'm definitely going to worry about it! ”
"Hurry up, go straight, what do you want to do?" Pei Qin doesn't have time to talk to him now.
Pei Zongli has always been tactful after speaking, and he has learned to do things in a roundabout way to achieve his goal, although he has been back for almost a year, and he has gradually adapted to it, but Pei Qin is so direct that he can't even speak, "Qin'er!" I'm my biological father after all! The relationship between father and daughter is constantly parted with no one! ”
"You think it's a waterfall, and it's still cutting!?" Pei Qin glanced at him.
Pei Zongli looked at her with gentle eyes, smiled and sighed, and told her about the rules of the pipe, what you need to do, not something good to eat in the village, just comb your hair and insert a hairpin. He also made three sets of new clothes, and there were also guests, praisers, and rules to salute.
is so complicated and rules, he is a big man, and he successfully made Pei Qin impatient and want to be irritable, "Let you fucking say it, let it fart if you have it, what are you talking about!?" ”
Pei Zongli was stunned for a moment, looking at her eyes like knives and irritable looks, "Qin'er! These are the rules of the time, I am your father, of course I have to handle it for you! ”
"The old lady wants to do it for you now!" Pei Qin raised his leg high and slashed him in the face.
In order to prevent the Zhu family from saying something unpleasant, Qian Wanxiu came over to make Pei Qin even more unaccustomed to it, so Pei Zongli came over alone with something and drove the carriage. He only heard from the people in his family that Pei Qin was so rampant and how fierce he was beating, and he didn't believe it when he just came back and saw the bruises on Chen's face.
Seeing that she slashed into his face, and suddenly stepped on him and fell to the ground, he suddenly realized. What I said is probably true.
Pei Qian saw him fall to the ground hard, and mocked, "Seeing that we are about to get a reward from the government, why did we come over with something and force my mother to death!?" I can't imagine today, right!? If you want to calculate us, let's go in the next life! ”
The door slammed shut.
Someone in the alley opened the door and came out to see the excitement.
Pei Zongli felt that he had lost his face, his whole body was shaking in pain, and he couldn't feel like he could get up when he climbed.
After being instructed for a while, Pei Zongli forced himself to ease up, got up, leaned on the carriage, and drove the carriage back. If you want them to help match Wu Xianling and say good things, Wanxiu is wrong! Think of them as kind and simple! They all hate him, Pei Qin looks good at talking, and beats him as a father, without mercy!
When she returned to her village, Miao Pozi's face was rare, "Oops! What's wrong with this Pei Er's face? What a big shoe print! Was it beaten? ”
Pei Zongli's face was red and blue, touched his face, and hurriedly drove home.
Zhu is still waiting for good news at home, those boxes of snacks, and several pieces of satin material are all good things, those little cheap embryos don't believe that they are not moved to see good things!
As a result, seeing that Pei Zongli came back so soon, and there was a red shoe print on his face, his face was ugly, Zhu's heart sank, and he opened his mouth to scold, "That damn little slut she beat you!?" Kill a little beast with a thousand cuts! Even my father dares to fight, and he is not afraid of thunder and hell! ”
When Old Man Pei saw this, he knew that he must not have said anything, and there was no hope.
Chen's face was also gloomy and distorted, coaxing good things, the little slut didn't agree, either because he didn't think there were too many things, or on purpose!
Zhu's distressed pulled Pei Zongli to sit down, and called Pei Wenli to fetch water.
Pei Wenli was unhappy and scooped up the water and brought it over, the wild eggs were gone, and grandma didn't dare to call the second room, so she knew to call them! Cooking, brushing pots, sweeping the floor, whatever, let them do it!
The Chen family didn't want to do it, so they came out of the Fang family and Pei Qinniang, and because of Pei Wenli, the Zhu family also helped to do some work. As soon as Pei Zongli and Qian Wanxiu came back from the second room, all the housework was handed over to the big room!
Although Qian Wanxiu brought a maid and a maid, they asked the county seat to open a silk shop, so they lived in a rented house in the county for a few families, and the maid and wife also took it away. Except for the newly built one-yard house, a little money every month, some food, nothing!
"Wanxiu is so good! So I think everyone else is also good-hearted! Those little were all taught by their mothers without any education, snarky, and vicious! also sent them food and such good clothes and materials, it was really a blind kindness! I haven't even worn that good! Zhu washed the sweat towel and gave it to Pei Zongli, and his mouth kept scolding.
Pei Zongli sighed, this Wu County Commander doesn't know if he has a big appetite or is really honest, he can't give it in, people can't invite him, it's difficult to talk to him, let alone let him help him restore his fame.
What they want to do, Pei Qin's sisters and brothers are also very clear. The old Pei family is now counting on a rich second room and Pei Wenli, who can test his fame, both of which require the government. Their family has a bad reputation, and they can't talk to the new county lord. They planted sweet potatoes but got a good job, and there were rewards from the government waiting for them, and the old Pei family would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
"They'll definitely come back! Such a good opportunity, it is impossible to put it in vain! Pei Qian frowned.
"If you dare to come, you will beat them up! Look at their faces to beg!? Pei Qian snorted angrily.
Pei Qin smiled, there were a lot of things that came immediately, and of course the old Pei family was worried and anxious.
Pei Qian was also a little anxious, "The sweet potatoes have been dug up, when will the government give us a reward?" It won't wait until next year, will it? ”
"If you don't have any results, you want to ask for a reward from the government?" Pei Qin leaned at her.
"We have planted almost 20,000 catties of sweet potatoes this time!" Pei Qian muttered dissatisfiedly.
I was thinking about it here, and an official came over there.
The pottery kiln sent a batch of jars over, and Pei Qin was picking up the goods at the workshop.
Sun Li came over with four officials, called Pei Qin with a smile, and introduced Pei Qin to the officials, "The sweet potato is grown by the Pei family's sisters and brothers, and this is the eldest sister Pei Qin!" The land behind this is planted with sweet potatoes, and there is also a landmark sign of the county government! ”
Several officials looked at Pei Qin with a smile.
Pei Qin looked at the clothes of several people, "A few bad masters are not like the county officials of Yuanyang County!" ”
"We belong to the Yamen of the Governor of Runing Prefecture!" The official who took the lead took out the prefect's letter and the seal of the prefect's yamen, "The prefect heard that you have planted sweet potatoes, with a yield of 2,000 catties per mu, and you want to promote it in Yuanyang County, so I will pass you over for questioning!" ”
"Runing Mansion?" Pei Qin raised his eyebrows, "The matter of sweet potatoes spread so quickly, it even spread to the prefect's yamen?" ”
"Wu County's order has already been reported!" The leader erranded.
Pei Qin nodded.
Sun Lizheng was a little excited with joy, "I didn't expect that even the prefect knew about it and wanted to send you to interrogate!" That's great! Busy and said, "Fucheng is a little far away from here, and it is not convenient for you little babies, as a Lizheng, I will go with you!" ”
Pei Qin glanced at him, "Thank you Sun Lizheng for ......"
Before she finished speaking, the official opened her mouth and did not let Sun Li Zheng follow, and the prefect only passed on the Pei Qin sisters and brothers who planted sweet potatoes to ask, as well as the county order of Yuanyang County.
Sun Li is the Li Zheng of Taiping Town, and he is naturally looking for Li Zheng if there is something. Although it is Pei Qin's sister and brother who grow sweet potatoes, it is reasonable for Sun Li to follow. Only their siblings were passed on...... Pei Qin arched his hand, "There are no adults in my family, only a few of our sisters and brothers, about the situation in Taiping Town and the vicinity, Sun Lizheng is clearer and more clear!" ”
She proposed to let Sun Li follow along, and the official looked at her with a calm and smiling expression, hesitated, and then agreed, and let Pei Qin's sister and brother set off as much as possible. I went to see the landmark plate and printed everything written on it.
Pei Wendong is still studying in the school, and his family needs to be taken care of. Pei Qin thought for a while, and only brought Pei Qian.
In this matter, several officials did not say much, but only urged him to hurry up and get on the road, otherwise he would miss the night stay.
Pei Qian and Pei Qian were very happy, and Zou was very happy for them when he found out, and when he went home, Zou Xing was not worried that they would go so far, and they would follow along.
However, he was rejected by the official, and if Zou Xing wanted to go, he could only follow him from afar, and he couldn't enter the government when he got to the place.
Pei Qin asked him not to follow, just Sun Lizheng together.
Pei Qian quickly packed up the simple baggage, packed the broken silver, stuffed the silver ticket in the small pocket sewn inside the clothes, and set off for Fucheng with Pei Qin. She had never been to Fucheng, and the farthest was to Yuanyang County. This time I went to the government office, maybe I will directly get the reward of the prefect's yamen, and they will be different when they come back!
Sun Lizheng also specially reminded to pull a bag of sweet potatoes.
These officials also reminded them that they couldn't go to the government office without sweet potatoes for the sake of sweet potatoes.
Not only sweet potatoes, but also the only remaining sweet potato noodles at home, I also brought them all together.
Pei Qin frowned and glanced at a few officials, and brought Shen Songming's name card to her Jinan prefect.
When a group of several people set off, how many people in the town came out to see, and their faces were full of envy and their eyes were red. The county magistrate came to see the digging of sweet potatoes in person, and now even the prefect knows about it, I don't know if it will reward them!?
In the envious eyes of everyone, several people got into the car and rushed to Runing Mansion.
Mo Heng sat in the small courtyard, listening to the sound of the cold wind blowing, frowning.
It wasn't until the evening that Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin came over to listen to him lecture after dinner, and Mo Heng moved the place, "How long will Feng Wei come back?" ”
Pei Wendong glanced at the sky, "It is estimated that it will take a while." ”
Mo Heng directly said that he would not lecture tonight, and he waited for Feng to have nothing to do and let them go back.
When Feng Wei came back, he saw him sitting on a chair at the door, as if it had been a long time, "Childe! It's cold outside! ”
"Pei Qin went to the Runing Mansion, you follow immediately." Mo Heng stood up.
Feng Wei was puzzled, "Childe! Miss Pei went to the government office, it should be because of the sweet potato, right? The county government has praised them, and the government government is estimated to have commended them! ”
"Sweet potatoes are something from Fanbang. hasn't planted it yet, and Wu County's order will not report it, so Shangfeng grabbed the credit. Didn't you inquire, is the Qian family's maiden home in Runing Mansion? Mo Heng said with a hint of worry.
"Qian's ......" Feng Wei thought about it for a while, and then remembered that the Qian family was later married by Pei Zongli and Pei Qin's stepmother, but he still didn't understand, "The Qian family wants to grab this credit?" ”
"I'm afraid that I will be accused of bewitching the people and being a traitor." A chill rose in Mo Heng's heart.
Feng Wei was taken aback, "Fanbang spies!? Even if Fanbang and Chu have always been peaceful on the surface, there are caravans coming and going, but if there are Fanbang spies, they will definitely be beheaded! Miss Pei is not a spy of Fanbang! ”
"They are gone, and there is more than one luck. Hurry up and chase after them, and save them. Mo Heng said, pulling out an envelope and giving it to him.
Feng Wei is a dead-eyed person, Mo Heng saved his life, and he followed him with all his heart, no matter what happened to him and what happened to him. Now it seems that they are safe, but if he leaves, "... There will be no one around Childe to protect him! ”
"I'm going to be fine here." Mo Heng handed him the envelope.
Feng Wei took the envelope with his eyebrows twisted, and his face changed, "Childe!?" ”
"Hurry now." Mo Heng commanded coldly.
Feng Wei gritted his teeth, went out with the envelope, and still came to the town to find Pei Qian and Pei Wendong, and asked them to take care of Mo Heng, he had something important to do, and he would go out for a few days.
Both of them are not Pei Qian, and they also miss Feng Wei and Mo Heng's master and servant, Mo Heng is a blind man, helps their family watch the workshop, takes care of him, and sends a meal, and after a few days, helps wash clothes. Soon responded.
Feng Wei rode Chang Yonglin's horse and hurried overnight.
Pei Qian, Pei Wendong, and Chang Yonglin are still looking forward to Pei Qin's return from the reward.
Feng Wei went out, and the three of them practiced martial arts at home. Pei Qian put out the baked cake stall and baked the baked cake by himself.
Alan Chang asked his little servant to help light the fire, and then when the stall was closed, he helped to close the stall.
The little guy had a bitter face, and his eyes were filled with tears. The young master began to let him burn the fire again! But fortunately, you don't have to burn it every day! No, the only person who has been cooking these days is Miss Pei Er, so he still has to come to light the fire! Bitter life!
Zhang Yan also felt that Pei Qin was really hard, from childhood to now, there have been a series of incidents. Now that he finally jumped out of the pit of Lao Pei's house, he was about to break out of the sky, but he was going to suffer again.
Seeing Pei Qian happily talking to Wang Ting about the prefect's yamen, Zhang Yan rubbed the wrench on his hand and considered whether to save Pei Qin once.
Pei Qin was not at home, and went to Fucheng, and Wang Ting was a little unhappy. He has been to Fucheng many times, and their family has many shops in Fucheng, as well as Grange, and she wants to go to Fucheng, but she doesn't say a word to him. didn't stay to eat, and went back to the county seat with a bag of sesame sauce and baked cakes.
Zhang Yan thought all the way, and finally his eyes fell on the bag of sesame sauce pancakes, and her sunny smile flashed in his mind, and her faint aura flashed. sent Wang Ting home, and after lunch, he said that he wanted to go out.
Yuanyang County is in the northernmost part of Runing Mansion, and it takes two or three days for the carriage to arrive at Runing Mansion.
Pei Qian was very happy all the way, and said that if Pei Qin bought something in Fucheng, it would be useful, and she wouldn't stop her.
Pei Qin made a list, anyway, they came with a donkey cart, if it was cheaper than that in Yuanyang County, they would all buy it and take it home.
Pei Qian listened to the list she listed, and her little face darkened.
Sun Lizheng is also in a very good mood, although the road is a little hard and a little cold, but this time he went to the government, Pei Qin also offered to let him accompany him, and when Pei Qin won the reward, he just happened to be able to get involved!
Along the way, Pei Qin drove the car, slowed down from time to time to take a look at the scenery on the road, and finally arrived in Fucheng in three and a half days.
The fourth master's patience was almost exhausted, so he let them go to the hall of the government without smiling.
Pei Qin saw that there was a rice and noodle shop opposite, so he drove the donkey cart over, went in and talked to the shopkeeper, and said very cheekily that he was the master of the royal court, and he came to the government to do business, and stored the donkey cart for them first.
There are not many female masters, and there are no female masters who teach the Wang brothers, looking at her appearance, the shopkeeper did not immediately drive away, asked her to teach skateboarding, took a skateboard and let her try it, more than those skateboarders on the street, all Xuan, so he believed her and asked them to put the donkey cart on the side of the shop.
"Eldest sister! Why are we putting the donkey cart here? We are familiar with Little Master Wang, and we are not familiar with the shopkeeper here, what if we lose it!? Isn't it safer to put it in the government office! Pei Qian was reluctant.
They are not safe now, and they still expect the donkey cart to be safe!? Pei Qin glanced at her, carried the name card given to her by Shen Songming, and led her and Sun Li to the mansion.
The government is much more magnificent than the county government, and the two stone lions are much larger.
Pei Qin squinted and looked at it, and strode in.
Pei Qian followed closely behind with awe of the government and the excitement and joy of being rewarded.
Sun Li was looking at Pei Qin's calm expression, and she was a little suspicious, she was only a fifteen-year-old daughter, and she was about to receive the big reward from the government, she was so calm, she was more stable than him. This courage is not to be underestimated!
When he arrived at the lobby of the mansion, the prefect Meng Dinglun was shocked, "Who is in the hall?" Why don't you kneel when you see this house!? ”
Sun Lizheng had already knelt down neatly, and introduced himself as Lizheng of Taiping Town.
Pei Qian also pulled Pei Qin to kneel down quickly, people said that the man has gold under his knees, and the eldest sister's knees seem to have a mountain of gold, and he doesn't kneel to burn paper for his mother, and he doesn't kneel when he comes to see the prefect! This is a four-grade official! It's not the county master's seven-grade official!
Pei Qin grabbed her back collar, picked her up, and pulled Sun Lizheng again.
Everyone in the hall watched her unusual behavior.
Sun Lizheng felt that Pei Qinren was so smart, why did he have no eyes when he arrived at the mansion. Isn't it freaked? was about to remind her to kneel down quickly, but I saw her looking at the prefect in the hall with a calm face and smiling.
"The prefect called us all the way over, not really to give us a reward. You are the officials, and we are the people. If there is any crime, you can tell me, and if you can admit it, I will admit it! I don't have to suffer from that torture, and you don't have to worry about it!? Pei Qin said with a smile.
Sun Li was shocked when he heard it.
Pei Qian, who was about to pull her to her knees, also froze and stood up, "Didn't you ask us to come over and ask about sweet potatoes?" ”
Meng Dinglun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Pei Qin, but he admired the courage of this little girl. Seeing him, he was not afraid, and said that they were not rewarded but questioned. He slapped the stunned wood again, "Bold! ”
The head catcher on the side reminded coldly, "When you arrive at the government hall, if you don't kneel when you see the official, you will hit the top ten boards first!" ”
Pei Qin sighed, knelt down, knelt straight, "Lord Prefect, ask!" If there is anything that needs to be cooperated, the grass people must cooperate! But you also think about the crime. The outer room of my house was straightened, my mother was forced to die, and my sister and brother were driven out, so I was counting on planting some sweet potatoes not to starve to death! This small family still has to rely on me to feed! If there is a foreign spy, a rebel or something, and you need to sit together, Lord Prefect, you will raise your noble hand! ”
Sun Lizheng's face changed greatly, and the cold sweat on his head fell.
When Pei Qian heard that the foreign spies were plotting rebellion and sitting together, her little face turned pale, and she grabbed Pei Qin to death, "We are not spies!" I've never rebelled or anything! Wronged! ”
Pei Qin patted her hand, "Isn't this being discussed!" ”
Meng Dinglun thought at first that she was a cowardly and shrunken little village girl, but she was a bold and ignorant person, but she didn't expect that she was a little village girl, and she was not afraid at all when she saw the official, so she opened her mouth and came to tell the truth in this matter clearly. He was suddenly a little annoyed, "Bold! If the official asks, you can answer! No noise! Shouting in the court! ”
"You are the prefect, you are in charge, ask!" Pei Qin said to him with a smile.
Meng Dinglun's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he asked a few people who Pei Qin's surname was, whether it was true to plant sweet potatoes, and asked Sun Lizheng to reply, rubbing the landmark plate, and the sweet potatoes moved by the errand officer.
On a cold day, kneeling in the lobby, it was still the lobby of the government, so that Sun Li, who experienced it for the first time, was cold from head to foot, but the cold sweat on his head came out layer after layer, and he stumbled in reply, "My lord!" If you want to talk about Fanbang spies, we are really wronged! Sweet potatoes are grown solely because of ...... Because of the high yield of sweet potatoes, the villagers are hungry! This thing... The county magistrate commended him, and when he was digging sweet potatoes, he also went! ”
Pei Qin glanced at him, and his eyes fell on the prefect Meng Dinglun again, "Lord Prefect!" If the judgment is wrong, and then corrected, we, the grass people, have also been wronged, then your career will be tainted! Even if you go to jail for a few days and find out the situation clearly, it's not that we want to rebel and let us go, this will also have an impact on your official reputation! After all, now sweet potatoes have been recognized by most of the people, that is, food that can fill their stomachs and survive, the trend of the times, and it will inevitably be planted in a large area in Chu in the future! When the time comes, I, the first person to grow sweet potatoes, have suffered an injustice for the benefit of the people, but I am imprisoned, missing arms and legs, crippled, or accidentally died, how many people should scold you, Lord Prefect? You don't want to be famous, do you? "If you can't avoid going to jail, you can only do your best to avoid being tortured.
All the words were said to her! Meng Dinglun was angry and depressed in his heart, "This matter is not trivial, this official will definitely find out, and not wronged one!" ”
"That's good! That's good! As long as you don't torture to extract confessions! Pei Qin smiled.
Meng Dinglun's eyes were cold, and he directly gave Pei Qin and the three of them eight words, "Put them in prison!" Wait for the review! ”
