A furious and extremely arrogant shout came from behind, which was very annoying.
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow. The real culprit has finally come knocking? Even a fool could tell whose dog it was.
As expected, a group of officials arrived in a menacing manner, led by none other than the county magistrate, Qi Yuanwei.
Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes: "Your Excellency, what brings you here?"
Qi Yuanwei glanced at her impatiently: "Madam Mo, you are mistaken. I, the county magistrate, love the people like my own children. When I learned that Nanping Village was harvesting rice, I specially led people to come and help."
"Your Excellency, please refrain from your arrogance." The unhappy Marin snorted coldly, glancing at the crowd working in the fields, his displeasure growing.
Liu San and the others remained calm and composed. What did they care about some adult? Didn't they see that Madam Mo was unperturbed and composed?
With the Imperial Inspector here, how dare a mere county magistrate act so arrogantly? Does he not want a promotion?
Marin frowned: "Are you all deaf? The magistrate is here..."
Why aren't you bowing yet?
Qi Yuanwei's eyes flickered slightly. He greatly admired Ma Lin's style. Ma Lin was indeed a wise and insightful county magistrate!
Steward Qi was sweating profusely. "Young master, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? How many heads do we have? How dare we act so recklessly in front of the Inspector General's guards?"
"Young Master..."
"Shut up!" Qi Yuanwei glared at the old butler with disdain. Old people are just a hindrance.
snort!
How blind my father must be to send such an old man who hinders me at every turn.
Old Steward Qi was in tears. "Young Master has committed a terrible sin." The young master was young and naive. He had the opportunity to meet one of the eight guards accompanying the Imperial Inspector, and the jade pendant at his waist was a symbol of his special status.
Qi Yuanwei's prestige was challenged, and his eyes turned slightly cold: "Madam Mo, do you not trust me?"
"Your Excellency is too kind. Since you've come to help, please come in. We're short-handed, and I would be very grateful."
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This style seems off; why isn't it following the script?
"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear Madam Mo say that we don't have enough manpower?" Marin's eyes flashed with venom as he sneered.
“Wait, Your Excellency, if someone deliberately sabotages and destroys the rice, according to the laws of Qingli Kingdom, shouldn’t they be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and a fine of three times the amount of silver?” Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, glancing at Qi Yuanwei with a half-smile.
"Exactly!" Qi Yuanwei had already spoken when he froze on the spot. Had that little vixen dug a hole for him?
Damn it!
"Thank you for your kindness, Magistrate. Officer Ma, please! Thank you all for your hard work, officers!" Mo Qingcheng casually flicked her fingernail and gestured for him to proceed.
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
Marin: "..."
Butler Qi sighed softly. "Madam is wise, thank God. Young Master, just wait to come home and have bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork."
No one noticed the meaningful smile that appeared on the old butler's face as he lowered his eyes...
Marin's face darkened as the commander almost went to the fields to harvest rice, only to be met with disdain.
"Officer Ma, what's going on? Handle with care, or you'll have to pay triple the compensation..."
"Officer, did you destroy the rice I painstakingly grew in broad daylight?"
"Your Honor, did you deliberately send Constable Ma to cause trouble?"
"Sir, duck, duck, duck, I'll say it three times because it's important: you'll have to pay three times the price for both the duck and the fish..."
"Hey, Officer Ma, do you even know how to harvest? Is this some kind of blind command?"
"Officer Ma..."
"Your Excellency..."
Mo Qingcheng was merciless, using sarcasm and insults, saying, "Since you want to jump into this pit, I'll dig it deep for you."
Liu Cuihua and the others harvested rice while watching the excitement. Haha, Madam is awesome!
