Mei Shuyan has been cultivated by Old Man Mei since he was a child, and he is the eldest grandson of Mei Mansion, so he is naturally not a wreck, and he is not a dou who can't be helped. Otherwise, Yun Chi would not have sent him to Zhaoyuan County to use him so much.

In the silence of his silence, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and arched his hand at the carriage, "This official has thoroughly investigated on official business, but I didn't expect that this cloth is delicate, is it the official's." ”

Ye Lanying had heard of Mei Shuyan's name, a gentleman in Duanfang, she liked this kind of gentleman the most, just like the Yun Rang in the family who always kept her near but always avoided her uprightly.

The so-called can't get it, so I scratch my heart and liver.

So, she looked at Mei Shuyan, who couldn't pay for it at a glance, and in a short period of time, she had the intention of teasing him, and said softly with a smile, "Then dare to ask adults, how to compensate?" I have already lost money, and if you say that, it will not be worth the money I have lost. ”

Mei Shuyan was not unhappy when she heard this, she arched her hand again, and asked seriously, "Dare to ask the girl's surname?" ”

Ye Lanying smiled happily, "It is said that adults are people with wives, and it seems inappropriate to ask the surname of an unmarried woman!" When the words fell, she said slowly, "This is not a gentleman's doing. ”

Mei Shuyan smiled on his face, "This official was ordered to be stationed in Zhaoyuan County, and the people who came and went cleared the customs, and the official knew the power." The girl doesn't have to think about it. It won't tarnish the girl's name in the future. The words fell, and he added, "Please also ask the girl to cooperate." The official has seen the girl's name, and he has a good idea of how to compensate the girl. ”

Ye Lanying smiled and handed out an identity tag to Mei Shuyan, and took out a document representing her identity.

Mei Shu stretched his hand to take it and glanced at it, An Ying, the eldest daughter of the second room of Huai'an An's family, whether this brand is true or not, but this document is real, with the seal of the government.

Mei Shuyan quietly took the token and the document and said, "Please Miss An and this official come to the government office, and this official will discuss the matter of compensation with you." ”

Ye Lanying pursed her lips and smiled, "The little woman goes to business, makes friends from all over the world, the adult is decent and upright, and it is also for the sake of official business, although the little woman has some losses, but the little woman is willing to make the adult a friend." Just now, the little woman joked with the adult, and the little woman admired the adult for being a strict official, and she didn't have to pay for it. ”

Mei Shuyan said seriously, "No, it's the fault of the official, how can the official not compensate?" The value of the lost cloth should be calculated carefully, and the official will find the shopkeeper of the cloth stakes in the city to evaluate and convert the value of the cloth, and he will definitely not lose the girl. ”

The smile on Ye Lanying's face gradually became a little unbearable, "Why bother, adult? The little woman has already said that there is no need to pay......"

Mei Shuyan said solemnly and seriously with a little lesson to his sister, "Miss An, this official is an official, and when you come to this Zhaoyuan County, you can't fall into your reputation, nor can you fall into the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince." Therefore, it is not right for the girl to joke like this, since it is the fault of the lower officials, the girl must be compensated. ”

Ye Lanying suddenly choked.

Mei Shuyan didn't look at her anymore, waved her hand, and ordered, "Everyone listen to the order, carefully protect these cloths, and escort them to the county guard's office." After the words fell, he instructed a person who felt reliable, "You go and ask the shopkeeper of Zhaoyuan to go to the county guard's office, and this official will ask him to work hard, and he will be rewarded, and he will not be allowed to work in vain." ”

"Yes!" One of them answered and immediately went.

So, Ye Lanying watched as Mei Shuyan led 500 people to escort her twenty carts of cloth to the county guard's office. And Mei Shuyan herself walked in front of her car and said calmly and gently, "Miss An, please." ”

Ye Lanying held her breath and felt that something was a little wrong, but looking at Mei Shuyan's serious face that she had to compensate her for silver, she couldn't tell what was wrong. Since she was a child, she has dealt with all kinds of people, but she has never seen such a stubborn and persistent official.

He can't rub the sand in his eyes as an official, how did he mix in Zhaoyuan County for so long?

With such a clean and upright appearance, how does he deal with people in the officialdom?

Could it be that relying on him to have a prince's cousin can escort him and everything will be fine?

She thought about it, thinking that he had a cousin of the prince, and he could really escort him and everything would be fine, at least, a few days ago, the king of Lingnan made a move on him, and chased him all the way from Zhaoyuan County to the capital without killing him, and he was seriously injured, and was rescued by the people of the East Palace at the gate of the capital, and now he is back alive.

Otherwise, if he couldn't come back and died at the gate of the capital, then now, she wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to hide and be careful when she escorted this batch of things.

She took a deep breath and regretted that she shouldn't have joked with such a person, and now that he took her away to talk about compensation, she couldn't say no forcefully. Now she can only hope that he will count it quickly, compensate her quickly, and let her go as soon as possible. As soon as she left Zhaoyuan County, she saved Neng Zi and killed him immediately.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now tired and sick in the East Palace, she doesn't believe that she can't kill him, and her father-in-law is still too soft-hearted, she won't.

Mei Shuyan made up her mind that she could drag it out for a while, as long as she dragged Ye Lanying, she would be able to clean her up.

Nowadays, nature cannot be alarmed.

Therefore, all the way back to the county guard's office, he was still gentle and polite, and he didn't have many official stands, so he invited Ye Lanying to the living room, and treated him as a guest, and sincerely calculated the amount of silver taels with her.

The shopkeeper of the Zhaoyuan cloth pile is also the first time to see this strange thing, and the caravan in the past is also a check, but before Master Mei came, those officials thundered and rained, and the big check was to ask for customs clearance fees, as long as the customs clearance fees were given, then they were easily let go. After Lord Mei came, he has been strictly investigated, but he doesn't need a customs clearance fee, and it is really a breeze on his sleeves, and even the rats in Zhaoyuan County are less likely to steal the food of the people's families.

After the shopkeeper came, he gave Mei Shuyan a gift, and after listening to Mei Shuyan asking him to calculate the damage and compensation for these cloths, he was very happy to do things for Mei Shuyan, after all, Mei was too honest and loved the people, and he didn't have a chance to slap him up.

Now that this opportunity to slap him has come, he naturally does not let it go, and promises again and again, "This is a trivial matter, adults don't have to take it to heart, just leave it to you." ”

Mei Shuyan nodded, and instructed gently, "Thank you to the shopkeeper, you must be careful, you can't lose the girl, but the official is honest and honest, and he doesn't have much spare money, and he can't lose a lot more, so the valuation must be accurate, and the girl can't be compensated, and the official can't be compensated." ”

"Your Excellency, I will be sure to evaluate it carefully." The shopkeeper secretly thought that in this way, twenty carts of cloth and hundreds of boxes, this would really require a lot of effort. But he didn't regret agreeing, after all, the longer the kung fu, the greater the friendship between Lord Mei, although he didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined, but it was always good for Lord Mei to easily give him a convenience.

Mei Shuyan got his assurance, was very relieved, and reluctantly said a few words of hard work, and ordered someone to invite the shopkeeper to go.

Ye Lanying didn't want to say anything at this time, she was depressed in her heart, thinking about how long would this have to be delayed? At least two or three days, right? Or she would have killed Mei Shuyan today?

However, she is in Zhaoyuan County, how can she quietly do it without implicating her?

She pondered for a while, and felt that no matter what, she was now in Zhaoyuan County, today, Mei Shuyan only met her a lot, and she was deeply involved, if she really killed him, she would have to be investigated.

Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital is alerted to check on her, it will not be a simple delay of two or three days.

After all, Meshuyan's identity is here.

After thinking about it, she could only live in peace and wait with peace of mind, anyway, the crossbow arrows had been arranged by her, and even if Mei Shuyan found out the flowers, she couldn't find the crossbow arrows. Although it was a bit of a delay to delay for three or two days, it was a bit of a delay, but there was no way.

She thought about it in her heart, so she settled down, smiled and said to Mei Shuyan gently, "Master Mei, the little woman has no place to settle down, and I am afraid that it will take two or three days to estimate compensation like this." Dare to ask adults, can the little girl go out and find an inn? Or did the adults stay in this county guard for two days? ”

Mei Shuyan arched his hand, "There are quite a lot of courtyards in the county guard's mansion, the official sees that the girl has a lot of people, if you look for an inn, I am afraid that the family will not be able to live, you need to find a few more, you don't have to bother, the left and right are the fault of the official, the girl lives in the county guard's mansion!" The official did not live here for the past two days, and went to live at the post station, so as not to damage the girl's reputation. ”

Ye Lanying chuckled, "Master Mei is really a gentleman, and that little woman is better than being respectful." ”

After the matter was agreed, Mei Shuyan ordered to clean up the courtyard in the backyard of the government and arrange for Ye Lanying to live.

Mei Shuyan came to take up his post and didn't bring his family, so the backyard of the government has been vacant, and now it has come in handy.

Ye Lanying took people to rest, very relieved, and did not see impatience and dissatisfaction.

After Mei Shuyan left, she thought that two days at the latest, Zhu Gong should also arrive with the soldiers and horses of Jinglu, right? If he doesn't come again, he can only use her identity to fake and take down Ye Lanying strongly, in that way, although it is feasible, he is not sure in the end.
