Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 1103 What? How do you know our master is back?

The wheels of the cart rolled around. Seeing the detectives blaming themselves, Zhao Xiu felt annoyed that he had spoken too harshly and quickly found another topic to talk about.

"Yuan'er has been with you in the capital for a while, so he should know a lot. If you want to know how you are doing in the capital, you can ask him first."

The detectives' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yeah! Did Yuan'er go home? How about we finish our work later, bring some delicious food, and go find him to find out what's going on? Come to think of it, we brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time."

"Tonight? Do you have the nerve to do that?" someone retorted. "Yuan'er and his sister-in-law have been separated for three months. Today they finally get to reunite, and you bring wine and food to try to break them up? Do you think that's okay?"

"That's true... But I really want to know where those martial artists came from, and how long will they stay in our county?"

"Yes, yes, and that new boy is so handsome! I took a glance at him and thought I saw the immortal in the painting."

"..."

The sound of horse hooves clattered, and the night breeze was soft and warm.

The conversations of the detectives kept changing, and as they talked, they started discussing a very important matter - whether the lord had been promoted?

After discussing it all the way, they came to the conclusion - no.

As for the reason...it's also very simple.

Sun Zhi said, "If the emperor had promoted you, he would definitely not have allowed you to return. Now that you have returned, it is certain that you have not been promoted."

His analysis was very logical and the detectives agreed with it.

Zhao Xiu, who knew a little about the inside story, smiled secretly and said nothing.

......

The next day, before the hour of Mao, Tongan County became bustling.

On the street, the doors of every household were wide open.

Looking into the yard, people were washing vegetables and killing chickens. It was very lively.

Some merchants, who had just arrived in the county, exclaimed upon seeing the scene: "It's worthy of being Tong'an County... Along the way, there must be five or six families slaughtering chickens and ducks. Life is... really good."

"What?" The county resident squatting outside the door plucking chicken feathers asked loudly, "How did you know our master was back?"

"What?" The merchant was stunned and said subconsciously: "I don't know!"

"When did you get back?" The county resident plucked a few chicken feathers, his eyes wrinkled with laughter. "Well - we got back last night! Oh, it's all because the adults missed us so much that they had to come back in the dark. There's nothing we can do about it!"

"Huh?" The merchant scratched his head, looked around, and asked uncertainly, "Are you talking to me?"

Why does it feel like we are talking at cross purposes?

"Besides you, there's no one else here," the county resident said cheerfully, plucking the feathers. "Come to think of it, our master has been away for a few months. It was dark yesterday, but we all saw clearly that she has lost weight! She must not have eaten well in the capital. We are so worried!"

The merchant was confused for a while, but finally understood: "My fellow, you mean...the magistrate of your county, Lord Shen Zheng, has returned?"

"Of course!" The resident washed the naked chicken in a basin, picked it up and sniffed it, saying, "The master also said that she missed us too. What do you mean by that... hehe——"

"Hehe..." The merchant laughed dryly along with the county residents and asked the question that concerned him the most: "Fellow villager, if Lord Shen can come back, doesn't that mean she didn't get a promotion this time in Beijing?"

The county residents stopped laughing immediately.

"What are you talking about? Whether the lady gets promoted or not, she is still our lady! Don't try to sow discord between us!"

play off?

The merchant felt very aggrieved and went to the noodle stall at the corner of the street.

"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles with more soup!"

The stall owner looked surprised: "Sir, how did you know our master is back?"

"...I just know it! Noodles! Hurry up!"

This scene was repeated in the early morning in Tongan County.

For the people of Tongan County, the wind last night was exceptionally warm and the dawn today was exceptionally late.

......

Chenshi.

When the time came, Shen Zheng woke up by herself.

Looking at the familiar beams on the roof, she squirmed violently on the bed.

I finally got home and slept in my own bed, I really don't want to get up...

After lingering in bed for more than a moment, she finally struggled to get up. After all, there were a lot of things to do today.

After changing clothes and walking out of the room, he saw Cui Jinyin peeping out through the crack of the courtyard gate like a thief, while Hua Duo stood aside, not saying a word.

Shen Zheng was stunned: "Jinyin, what are you doing?"

Cui Jinyin was frightened and ran over in small steps, pointing at the gate and saying, "Teacher, there are so many people outside..."

"people?"

Shen Zheng listened carefully, but there was no sound outside the yard.

After thinking for a moment, she strode towards the gate, unbolted it, and pulled with both hands, and the wooden door opened.

The person outside the door instantly showed a look of surprise.

"My Lord, wake up!"

Uncle Lai was the first to come forward and said, "Sir, what would you like for breakfast? I've made sour bone fish, golden chicken, braised pork, spring rolls, and braised pork elbow..."

Every time he named a dish, Shen Zheng would be stunned for a moment.

What a great breakfast, so...rich.

But before he could finish his words, Zhao Xiu pushed him behind him.

Zhao Xiu held the food box in both hands and said eagerly, "Sir, this is the snack Hui Niang made for you. It has the same old taste. Hui Niang heard that you have lost weight, so she locked herself in the kitchen all night, saying that she would not feel at ease if she didn't make something for you..."

As soon as Zhao Xiu finished speaking, several more constables came up with food boxes.

"Sir, this is the chicken soup my father made last night. It tastes just right and is still hot! Would you like to have some soup first?"

"Sir, the soup is too oily. Would you like to try some soy milk? My wife soaked the beans last night and ground them this morning. They are so fresh!"

"grown ups......"

"..."

Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Shen Zheng almost collapsed. Everyone left with their lunch boxes in great satisfaction.

But before they left the backyard, they were blocked by someone.

"Yuan'er? Didn't the Chief Clerk tell you to take a seven-day break before coming back? Why are you here today? Are brothers really that important to you..."

"Go, go, go." Xiao Yuan waved his hand in disdain and called them to the corner of the courtyard like a thief. "Brothers, I was in a hurry to get home yesterday, and I forgot to tell you something important... After I tell you, when you patrol the streets, spread this matter, understand?"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately leaned over to ask, "What's going on?"

......

Within half an hour, the news that "Lord Shen was promoted to the fourth rank" spread throughout Tongan County.

When the county residents first heard the news, they were surprised and happy, and even couldn't believe it.

"A fourth-rank official... Oh my god, isn't that higher than Prefect Yu's?"

"This, this...I can't be dreaming, motherfucker, I can't wake up from this dream."
