He Wenqin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fu Tong pointing to a place not far away.
There, I saw two thin people with messy hair, staggering towards this side!
Fu Tong introduced:
"One of them is Li Kunzheng, the magistrate of Tongshan County, and the other is Ding Zhixun, the village head of Heyan Village.
I just don’t know why the two of them ended up like this.”
As they were talking, the two men came closer.
Li Kunzheng knelt on the ground and asked in a trembling voice:
"Is it really the Imperial Envoy who has come? Are you not lying to me?"
He Wenqin saw this and reached out to help the man up, but he couldn't pull him up, so he could only say:
"I am He Wenqin, this is His Royal Highness Prince An, and that is the Princess of Anping. Lord Li, please rise!"
Upon hearing this, Li Kun kowtowed to the three of them, and when he looked up, tears were already streaming down his face.
He raised his sleeve to wipe his tears and said hurriedly:
"I have finally waited for you, my Lord! Please, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord, please save Tongshan County! The people are suffering!"
He Wenqin nodded heavily and said:
"The county lady has already dispatched the imperial physicians to the disaster-stricken counties in Xuzhou.
Tongshan County suffered the worst damage, and Doctor Gu from the Gu family in Suzhou went there with other imperial physicians.
I think the epidemic can be brought under control.
Now, the people affected by the disaster have enough food to survive the winter, and the next step is to prepare for arranging housing for them.
Please rest assured, Master Li."
Upon hearing this, Li Kunzheng kowtowed three times and said, "On behalf of the people of Tongshan County, I thank you all!"
Qi Nancheng looked at the two of them and couldn't help asking:
"Where did the wound on Lord Li come from? Could it be Jia Wensheng's doing?"
Li Kunzheng just nodded and didn't say anything.
But Ding Zhixun knelt on the ground with a plop and said:
"Reporting to the prince, I am Jia Wensheng's former steward.
He had previously hidden the food in Heyan Village, but for some reason the food disappeared overnight.
Now I see that all these grains are stored intact in this yard. It turns out that Jia Wensheng deceived the villain and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible!
I have followed him for twenty years and know a few things about him. If there is anything you want to know, I will tell you everything I know!
He Wenqin nodded and said:
"That's great."
Ding Zhixun glanced at the girl standing beside him and asked in a low voice:
"I wonder if the young master... the county lady, my father, is doing well?"
Si Jinxing had long known that Ding Zhixun was a smart man. When he saw her true face yesterday, she expected that he would see through her.
She pursed her lips and smiled, saying:
"The village head is indeed wise. The old man has already made preparations for the surgery today and can treat him tomorrow morning at the latest."
When Ding Zhixun heard this, he kowtowed to Si Jinxing and said:
"Thank you, my lady! I will do my best to assist you and complete your mission!"
Si Jinxing nodded, then suddenly looked at Fu Tong and said, "Sir, will you come with me?"
Fu Tong was already anxious, but because the prince and the imperial envoy were there, he had to hold back.
Seeing the county lady calling him, he took a big step forward and said, "Okay!"
Si Jinxing smiled and said to He Wenqin and Qi Nancheng:
"My Lord, please go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, and Fu Tong followed closely behind her, walking quickly.
When Qi Nancheng saw the girl leaving, he couldn't help but raise his foot to follow her, but was stopped by He Wenqin, who said:
"Your Majesty, Princess Mo Ying seems to be busy with something, so let's not disturb her.
The most important thing right now is Jia Wensheng's case, and I still need your help, Your Highness."
Princess Mo Ying?
When Qi Nancheng heard these four words, he immediately retracted his foot.
Yes, she is the emperor’s uncle’s future princess!
Qi Nancheng laughed at himself. What was he expecting? What qualifications did he have to approach her?
Whatever...
As long as I can see her from a distance, it will be fine!
Qi Nancheng asked the two people kneeling on the ground to stand up, but did not let them leave the house. Instead, he asked someone to take them to the guest room to rest first.
He and He Wenqin returned to the government office together!
I just glanced through those account books and haven't had time to check the many detailed accounts!
Also, the matter of Jia Wensheng's subordinates secretly hiding Han Lan's letters earlier needs to be thoroughly investigated!
At this time, Si Jinxing was returning home with Fu Yi.
The yamen runners and palace soldiers who had fainted in the front yard had left on their own after waking up.
Zi Su was cleaning the yard with people.
She turned her head and saw Si Jinxing entering the courtyard. She smiled and said:
"Miss, is it done? Did that damned Lord Jia confess his crime?
He actually dared to frame the young lady. He is so bold! "
Si Jinxing laughed and said:
"He has been taken to prison by Lord He. The crime he committed is quite serious. I don't think he can escape!"
Zi Su nodded, and then she noticed Fu Tong walking behind her. She felt that he looked familiar.
She couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
Si Jinxing led Fu Tong to the front hall and instructed Zi Su:
"Go get the fat kid out. His dad is here to take him home."
Big fat kid?
When Fu Yi heard this, his face showed some excitement. His child was indeed white and fat!
The name the county lady gave to her child is... quite appropriate!
When Zi Su heard this, she immediately thought of why this person looked so familiar!
It turns out that this person is the fat kid’s father!
When Qingchan heard this, for some reason, she felt a little sad.
She was the one who rescued the fat kid. In the past few days, he only allowed himself to hold him and would not let anyone else hold him!
Thinking of this, she said, "Princess, I'll go help the fat kid pack his clothes and luggage."
After Qingchan said this, he quickly followed Zisu and walked towards the backyard!
Fu Tong stood up from his chair, bowed to Si Jinxing, and said:
"Mr. Fu, thank you so much for your kindness, County Lady! If it weren't for you, my son would have been dead or alive by now!
Even if you are alive, it will be hard to find you again!
If the county lady has any instructions in the future, just tell her to go through fire and water, without hesitation! "
Si Jinxing waved her hand, motioning Fu Tong to sit down, and then said:
"Master Fu, you're too kind. It was just a coincidence that day. I was just outside the City God Temple trying to steal Master Fu's porridge when I ran into the fat kid!"
When these words were spoken, Fu Tong was stunned.
He couldn't help but frowned, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly realized and asked:
"County Princess, you mean that face...? Haha, the County Princess is indeed a remarkable woman!"
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of footsteps, mixed with a childish voice:
“Eat well and you won’t get fat!”
