Chapter 79: The county government begs for rice
Because of a heavy rainstorm, the official house that had already accumulated ash was lively again, surrounded by homeless people supporting each other, and many county officials were transporting food and bedding inside.
After Fang Caiyun Geng showed his heart to Si Linche, his heart, which had always been unstable, fell back into his heart, and he felt very satisfied, but before he could be happy for a long time, someone came to break the atmosphere between them.
"Miss Yun, Si Gongzi, it's been a long time."
Yun Geng looked sideways, and saw the chief bookkeeper in the county office standing one step away from the two of them, with a look of joy on his face.
"Thank you, why are you here?" Yun Genggen was a little surprised, it stands to reason that the county government secretary should not appear in this place, and she looked behind the master bookkeeper, but she didn't see the county official, and it was even more inappropriate for him to come alone.
"Miss Yun doesn't need to be surprised, I just can't worry about the people who suffered this time, so I came to take a look in person on behalf of the county official." After saying this, he looked at Yun Genggeng's eyes sincerely, and said, "I just heard that Miss Yun brought a few boats of food, and she should also be here to relieve the victims, right?" ”
Yun Genggeng smiled slightly, "That's right, anyway, I opened a restaurant, and if I can make a contribution, I naturally have to come over to help." ”
After saying this, Yun Geng remembered that the big boat of the two of them hadn't sailed over yet, so he immediately turned around and prepared to row the boat over.
But at a glance, except for the big boat where Fan Tong was and another boat, all of them were small boats, and the big boat that he and Si Linche were riding on had completely disappeared.
Si Linche should have also discovered this problem, and said in a deep voice, "The ship carrying rice noodles is gone, I'll go over and take a look, you wait for me here." ”
After speaking, he hooked his lips and smiled, looked at Yun Genggen deeply and walked away.
The boat disappeared inexplicably, where could Yun Genggen stay where he was at ease, as soon as Si Linche left her, he turned around and walked towards the official house, and after observing it, his eyes were fixed on a relatively high threshold, and he raised his legs and walked over.
And the master bookkeeper was still shouting behind him, "Miss Yun, we have no food to deliver at this time, if you find the ship, you have to come over quickly, otherwise the victims will suffer." ”
"Understood."
After answering the voice, Yun Geng began to concentrate on looking for the ship, but no matter how she looked, she didn't see the shadow of the ship, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart.
Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, if it gets dark, even if she finds it, it will be useless, not only is it inconvenient to give porridge, but it may also delay her own task.
She finally got the opportunity to increase her points, and she couldn't let it go.
At this moment, Si Linche strode back, he stood under the threshold where Yun Genggen was, raised his hand to help her down carefully, and then spoke, "I went to inquire about a few homeless people, and they said that the boat was rowed away by people wearing official clothes. ”
Hearing this, Yun Geng was angry, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "The people of this county government are also shameless, and they actually stole our ship in the middle of the day." ”
Si Linche narrowed his eyes, "Then go to the county government first to ask for clarification." ”
After saying that, he naturally held Yun Genggeng's hand, pulled the person onto a small boat, and rowed towards the county office.
In the county office, the county official's head was covered with fine beads of sweat at this time.
He never expected that the ship full of rice and noodles in Wang Gan's mouth would be Yun Geng, if he had known earlier, he would definitely let this kid send the things back untouched.
He should have paid attention a long time ago, this Wang Qian came from Linxian County1, and he didn't know anything about the situation in Qingyuan, so naturally he didn't know these dignitaries, let alone know that this Yun Genggeng's backer was the Si family.
But now, if he admits that it was his own person who took the rice and noodles, he can't get over it at all, and he is also very excited about the method proposed by Wang Qian before, and he can't let the duck fly away.
Thinking of this, the county official calmed down, coughed lightly and smiled at Yun Genggeng and the others, "I'm afraid you are mistaken, how can there be your grain in the county office, our rice warehouse is full of rice sent from Beijing to relieve the victims, and there is no rice and noodles you said at all." ”
"The county magistrate is really a god, I didn't tell you about the boatload of rice and noodles I lost, right? So how did the magistrate know? Yun Geng curled his lips and sneered.
The county magistrate said without changing his face, "This is just the official's speculation, if this happened in previous years, every family used rice noodles to cook rice porridge, and of course the official thought that you had lost a boatload of rice noodles." ”
Yun Genggen didn't expect this county official to be so shameless, he actually opened his eyes and said nonsense, and his face couldn't help but turn cold, "The county official is really clever, but at that time, someone saw that it was your official here who took the ship away, how do you explain?" ”
"Today, the officials in the county government have all gone to the official house to assist the main book to relieve the victims, how can you go to steal your boat, Miss Yun is not wasting time with me, it is better to look for it herself, maybe she can find it before the sun goes down."
Seeing that what he said was so fearless, Yun Geng's heart sank, it seems that this county official has already transferred things, otherwise he would definitely not be so confident.
"Geng Geng, it's in vain to waste time here at this time, I'll send someone to find out about the ship later." Speaking of this, Si Linche's eyes turned slightly, squinted at the county official, and said with a smile, "This matter will definitely be investigated, and I will not let go of any of the boat thieves when the time comes." ”
Then his eyebrows and eyes softened again, and he looked at Yun Genggeng with a reassuring smile, and said, "You wait here for the time being, I will go back to the Sijia rice shop first and then transport some rice, and today I promise that the homeless people in the official house will eat hot porridge." ”
Hearing this, a burst of warmth flowed in Ying Genggeng's heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'll go with you, and I'll go directly to the official house later, saving you a waste of time running back and forth for no reason." ”
"That's fine, let's go."
Si Linche stretched out his right palm at her, and Yun Geng put his left hand into it without hesitation, looking at his eyes with a smile.
No longer bothering with the county officials, the two were about to go out, but the master bookkeeper who had been separated from them outside the county yamen walked in with his hand, and when he saw them, he showed a happy expression on his face, and shouted with a smile, "Miss Yun, Master Si, your ship has been found." ”
"Lord Bookkeeper, where did you find it?" Yun Genggen said in surprise.
"It's in an alley, I'm afraid that the man stole the boat before he could sell the stolen goods, the things on the ship are still there, and now I have sailed the boat over, do you want to go and see it?"
Yun Genggeng and Si Linche glanced at each other, and then smiled and said, "Please also ask the master to lead the way." ”
