As soon as he heard the peppermint water, County Magistrate Duan immediately became interested, but due to his status, he could only cough lightly and nod to Jiang Ling, who led him inside.

As soon as he walked in, County Magistrate Duan looked at the tidy courtyard, and the quacking duckling couldn't help being a little surprised.

During these years as the county magistrate, I have seen some women living alone with their children, but none of these women lived in poverty or desolation, and some courtyards were even messy. See you for the first time.

He looked curiously at the ducklings in the corner and asked, "Why do you want to raise ducks all of a sudden?"

"Ducks are full of treasures. When they grow up, they can lay eggs. When they are old, they can kill and eat meat. Even duck feathers are good things!"

"Duck feathers?" County Magistrate Duan was a little curious, but still asked with a calm expression, "What are duck feathers used for? Decoration?"

"No, duck feathers can be made into duck down and stuffed into winter clothes. It is not only warm but also light. Duck down is much better than reed in terms of warmth and lightness. About ten ducklings can grow up to make one piece of duck feathers. winter clothes, and you don’t need to kill ducks when you’re dealing with their feathers!” Jiang Ling explained.

County Magistrate Duan became more and more curious as he listened. Just as he was about to open his mouth to continue asking, the master at the side walked up to Magistrate Duan and whispered to Magistrate Duan.

Then came the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near to Jiang Ling's house.

County magistrate Duan nodded to Jiang Ling and said, "Jiang Shi, please wait for a while."

County Magistrate Duan and Master walked towards Jiang Ling's gate.

After a while, County Magistrate Duan and Master came in with five boys who were about the same age as Jiang Zhishan.

They were all wearing dark blue cloth shirts, but everyone had a little dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Mr. Jiang, these are the students who framed Jiang Zhishan, I brought them here for you!"

The village chief took a peek at the faces of those students. When he saw Zhao Qianyu, the son of the magistrate of Guangping County, the village chief's cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes.

Although he had 1 reasons in his heart, he didn't have the guts to ask questions now that County Magistrate Duan was present. The only thing he was lucky about was that this Jiang Zhishan was not from their Lu family village, otherwise he would have offended the son of the official's family. It stopped, thinking of the village head, heaved a sigh of relief.

Before County Magistrate Duan could say anything, the sound of horseshoes came from the door of Jiang Ling's house again. This time the sound was very fast, and it came to Jiang Ling's house in almost an instant.

"I'll see who dares to touch my son!" An unusually serious voice came in from the outside, the door of Jiang Ling's house was roughly pushed open, and a man wearing an official uniform that was almost the same as County Magistrate Duan appeared in front of everyone.

The difference from County Magistrate Duan is that this man is tall and thin, with mung bean-like eyes that keep glancing back and forth, with the eyeballs turning around a few times from time to time, and his face is full of acrimony. I know, this must be the magistrate of Guangping County, Zhao Tianqi.

"Master Zhao, what wind is blowing to you?" County Magistrate Duan joked with a half-hearted smile.

"Heh. It seems that County Magistrate Duan really forgets things! Don't you know why I came?" Master Zhao squinted at County Magistrate Duan, and his eyes fell on Zhao Qianyu who was beside County Magistrate Duan.

When Zhao Qianyu saw his father coming, he immediately became proud and said to his father with his head held high, "Dad! I'm here! I'm here!"

Said three steps and made two steps and ran to Mr. Zhao's side. Mr. Zhao gently stroked Zhao Qianyu's head, and after a few words of comfort in a low voice, he turned his head and looked at County Magistrate Duan with a sullen face and said, "Magistrate Duan , you are too deceitful!"

The village head next to him was terrified when he saw the scene of swords and swords being drawn, if not for something leaning against him, he would have fallen to the ground with his legs limp.

"Too much deceit? I don't know what your words mean, Mr. Zhao?" County magistrate Duan said calmly.

"You! Duan Kang'an, why did you take my son away?" Mr. Zhao said with a displeased expression on his face.

"Oh? Mr. Zhao, I did take your son away, but I didn't do anything to him, let alone I need to investigate the case!" County magistrate Duan replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"You..." Mr. Zhao was speechless by the anger of the county magistrate Duan, so he could only shake his sleeve fiercely.

"My lords, why are you so angry! Since you are here as guests, the women will prepare some mint water for everyone, and come to lower the fire for the lords! Yaojie..." Jiang Ling winked at Jiang Yaojie as he spoke.

I saw Jiang Yaojie quickly put what Jiang Ling had prepared into the hands of the two adults.

Master Zhao looked at the cup of light green liquid and frowned as if remembering something. After a while, his eyes fell on Jiang Ling and said, "Who are you, and what is this?"

"The folk woman is just a village woman in Lujia Village. This is the prescription of the folk woman's grandmother. It's called mint water. It's refreshing to eat!" Jiang Ling said to Mr. Zhao.

"Oh? Why do you have mint water from Yuchulou and Huacuilou here? Is it possible that a village woman like you would buy it?" Mr. Zhao's son, Zhao Qianyu, was very impolite, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"You..." Jiang Zhishan immediately wanted to reprimand when he heard that.

Jiang Ling shook her head at Jiang Zhishan. She ignored Zhao Qianyu and turned around to walk in front of County Magistrate Duan. She said softly, "Ms. Duan County Magistrate Wenxi wants to ask you."

"Hey, you village woman, why are you so impolite? I'm asking you something!" Zhao Qianyu asked Jiang Ling with a displeased look on his face as he was pushed aside by Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling smiled lightly and ignored it. County Magistrate Duan nodded and replied, "If you have any questions, you can just ask Jiang."

"My lord, the women's question is very simple. I want to ask you, are the most basic things in the four major categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation all from the hands of our farmers?"

County magistrate Duan immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Ling's question. He smiled but said meaningfully: "That's natural. It's not just about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there are repeated famines, refugees will flee. If the local area is not peaceful, we, the parents and officials, will be in trouble." It may not be able to wear it, is it Mr. Zhao?"

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Duan gave Mr. Zhao a meaningful look.

Master Zhao's face darkened immediately, he glared at his son fiercely and said angrily, "Shut up! You brat is making trouble for me every day!"

Zhao Qianyu frowned and stared in displeasure. He had never been scolded by his father in public at such a young age. He stared at Jiang Ling unkindly. If there were no other people present, he would definitely He started with Jiang Ling.

Mr. Zhao glanced at his useless son, his eyes fell on Jiang Zhishan and said: "You are Jiang Zhishan, right? My son was stubborn and ignorant before, but now he has been taught a lesson, let's forget about it!"

Mr. Zhao's tone obviously softened a lot. He glanced at Jiang Ling again. He always felt that this village woman in Lujia Village seemed to be difficult to deal with. The business is doing well, and it can never be as simple as that of ordinary village women.

Although he is the county magistrate in Guangping County, he has often heard about the mint water.
