Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Savior
Yan Xiancheng pondered, indeed, after last night's incident, those rich families in the city did not dare to watch from the wall. should be ruined to avoid disasters, and one person will always have to give a little.
He nodded, "Most of the rich families and officials want to agree, only the owner of the Shenglong rice shop, who does not eat oil and salt, and loves money as much as his life." But he is the largest rice shop in Anyang County, and if he doesn't take the lead, other rice shops don't want to give porridge. β
"Shenglong Rice Shop ......," Mu Xiwen pondered slightly, "The grass people can run for the adults." β
"Then thank you Miss Mu!"
After coming out of the county office, Mu Xiwen went to Zhang's mansion first and asked Zhang Yingan to support Yan Xiancheng's actions. Then she hurried to the leisurely house.
Although the soldiers have entered the city, the streets are still deserted, and most people are living in their homes.
The door is also closed.
Seeing the charred mark on the door frame, her face was slightly condensed, and she stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who? Leisurely home is closed today, please come back tomorrow. Xiao Qiu's somewhat trembling voice sounded in the room.
"It's me, Mu Xiwen."
There was a sound of tables and chairs being kicked over in the door, and then the door creaked open, revealing Xiao Qiu's aggrieved bun face.
"Two owners! Woo woo, you're finally here! β
"Okay, you worked hard last night, everyone is okay, right?" Mu Xiwen hurriedly appeased Xiao Qiu.
"It's okay, Miss Luo and Lao Tu are very powerful, as well as Big Brother Fuyang. A few of us beat up those who came to make trouble. Steward Luo, Miss Luo, the owner is here! β
Xiao Qiu yelled loudly into the house, and soon there were footsteps in the house, and then Luo Suyi and the others ran out.
"The owner!"
"Arwen!"
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."
A few people entered the room and sat down, talking about the experience of last night. As he was talking about the soup kitchen, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
With the owner, Xiao Qiu was much more confident, puffed up his chest and rushed outside and said: "Youranju is closed today, please come back tomorrow." β
"The old man is the owner of Shenglong Rice Shop, and he came to thank him today, and he also took the trouble to open the door."
"Say thank you?" Mu Fuyang scratched his head and looked puzzled.
"Shenglong rice shop?" Mu Xiwen's eyes widened, "Please come in." β
Soon, a group of people walked in. At the head was a wealthy man, beside whom was a beautiful young woman. Others are subordinates.
"Compared to this, this is the Mu Dong family who lives leisurely, right? It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go. The manβstood up, greeted very politely, and his little eyes were smiling away.
"Master Huang, I have admired my name for a long time." Mu Xiwen shook the hem of his clothes, and Shi Shiran sat down and set up with him.
"I don't know ......what Master Huang means by thanking him?"
"Last night, the refugees broke into the house and almost hurt the little girl, thanks to being rescued, otherwise it would be ......" Master Huang said, his tone choked slightly. I don't know which strong man saved the little girl? β
Luo Suyi moved her gaze to Mu Fuyang, and the others also followed her gaze to Mu Fuyang.
It seems to have saved the pearl of Master Huang's palm. Mu Xiwen vaguely handed Mu Fuyang an approving look, and said to Master Huang seriously: "They are all neighbors, so naturally they should watch and help each other, Master Huang doesn't have to be polite." β
"No, the little girl is the eyes of the old man, and the old man must be repaid for this life-saving grace." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the man behind him handed him a box.
"This is two hundred taels of silver, please accept it from the strong man."
Mu Fuyang swallowed his saliva and subconsciously glanced at Mu Xiwen. After seeing Mu Xiwen's encouraging eyes again, he still closed his eyes ruthlessly and turned his head not to look at the white silver.
"No, I just can't get used to that kind of scum, and I believe that anyone who encounters that kind of situation will take action. That's a lot of money. β
Before Master Huang could speak, Miss Huang, who had been sitting quietly next to him, opened her thin lips lightly and said in a harmonious voice: "Benefactor, please accept this money, in the eyes of Firefly, the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, so you can only prepare a little gift to express your heart." β
As soon as Miss Huang opened her mouth, Mu Fuyang's swarthy face immediately turned black and red. His eyes moved up and down, left and right, and he said in a whisper, "Really...... Not really. And I didn't shoot the arrow alone last night, and Sister Suyi. After saying that, he smeared oil under his feet and ran away.
Everyone was speechless for a while, but Miss Huang hid her veil and chuckled.
Master Huang reacted quickly, and thanked the only two women in the store, Luo Suyi: "Thank you, girl, please don't dislike it, accept this thank you gift." β
Luo Suyi glanced at Mu Xiwen first, and then said with a turn of his mind: "I can't accept this silver, but if Master Huang has the heart, he might as well open a shop to give porridge to the refugees outside the city, so as not to starve the refugees and break into the city again." β
Master Huang was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a while, a look of pain appeared on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the wealth is avoided." β
Mu Xiwen took advantage of the situation to follow up: "Shenglong rice shop is the largest rice shop in Anyang County, and other rice shops are following Master Huang's actions. On behalf of the people of the city, I have thanked Master Huang for his righteousness. β
"Where, where."
After Master Huang and his entourage left, Mu Xiwen immediately praised Russell Yi and wrapped a big red envelope for everyone.
A day later, Anyang County finally slowly got back on track, and the paperwork from Tai'an Province finally arrived.
The original prefect of Boryeong Province was held accountable, and the imperial court sent a new prefect. The new prefect carried out post-disaster reconstruction in a big way, and in it, a book called "Flood Disaster Prevention and Control" came into the public's sight, and a person named "Mu Xiwen" was also remembered by a few people with a heart.
Along with the documents, there is also a long-overdue letter of accountability: Gong Qi, the former magistrate of Anyang County, was corrupt and derelict in his duties in the embankment breaking case 15 years ago, and even abandoned the city and fled two days ago, and was ashamed of being a parent official.
So, Gong Qi, who had just come back the day before and pretended that nothing had happened, was arrested by an official sent by Tai'an Mansion. And Yan County Cheng was directly promoted to Yan Zhi County because of the good governance in the past two days.
"You can't arrest this official, this official and the Yi family are in-laws. It's impossible for Yi Zhifu to arrest me, you cheap slave! β
Gong Qi shouted wildly, but he could only be dragged out of the county government like a dead dog with his family, and the onlookers all felt that they had revenge and wanted to throw rotten eggs to celebrate.
The dog officer who has been in Anyang County for fifteen years has finally been arrested! What a joy!
Due to the policy of benefiting the people of the prefect of Boryeong Province, many refugees who fled abroad began to move back, and the tranquility outside Anyang County finally returned, and the people in the city were no longer panicked.
Of course, not all of them chose to return to their hometowns, and some people chose to stay in Anyang County, and Yan Zhi County arranged for them to move into Zhaozhuang Village.
Looking at the village that had come back to life, Mu Xiwen confessed that the time she had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived.
