In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

According to normal procedures, such a large epidemic was stuck here in Dongyang Mansion and did not spread out again. This is the credit of the prefect.

If he hadn't rescued him in time and summoned so many people, I'm afraid Dongyang Mansion would have become a dead city by now.

It sounds like this means that all the credit should be given to her.

Others don't know what the plague is like in Dongyang Prefecture, but the magistrate of Anyang County knows it very well.

They are the closest to Dongyang Prefecture. If they are not well controlled, Anyang County will be the first to suffer.

He knew that Ye Lingyao's help was involved, but he didn't expect that it was Ye Lingyao who took the credit?

He had heard that this girl was studying medicine, but he didn't expect that she could be so good after studying for such a period of time?

He suddenly looked up to Dr. He from Jirentang.

What kind of god is this?How can you actually teach such a miracle doctor in these few months?

But he couldn't stay here now, so he hurriedly poked Ye Lingyao, who was still standing aside.

"Accept the order."

The father-in-law also smiled and said, "County Lord, please accept the order."

Ye Lingyao looked up at the father-in-law with a complicated expression and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know how this matter spread to the capital, but I want to say that the credit for this is not made by me alone, but by the prefect's control. , if it weren’t for his quick response, it would have been impossible to control it so quickly. When it comes to solving the plague, all the doctors in the city are working hard, and I was just lucky enough to come up with the prescription. This is not my fault alone. Isn’t it unfair to them to just accept it like this?”

The father-in-law smiled more kindly.

"Don't refuse, Lord County. Your Majesty is the fairest. Those who contributed to this matter will naturally be sealed. They are indispensable."

Ye Lingyao breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked, "Has the prefect been punished?"

The father-in-law was stunned, "Why did the county gentleman say this?"

Ye Lingyao looked a little more serious, "The magistrate is a good official. He never gave up on anyone. At such a critical moment, did he give up Dongyang Mansion and take his family to defend Dongyang Mansion? They all have merit, I know If an epidemic occurs, you may be punished. If there is a punishment, I am willing to use my merits to exchange for it, and I can use it for rewards and titles."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

I never thought she could say such a thing.

The others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, thinking that this person was talking nonsense. How could he choose the reward himself?

And if you still negotiate terms with the emperor, isn't this asking for death?

What a waste of such a good opportunity!

But the county magistrate who was kneeling aside could sense that this was unusual.

Of course he knew that if an epidemic suddenly broke out in Dongyang Fucheng, the prefect of Dongyang Prefecture would not be able to escape.

If the epidemic had not reached Anyang County, he would have been responsible.

But if something like this really happened, would someone come out to protect him like Ye Lingyao protected the prefect?

He couldn't help but glance at Ye Lingyao.

This peasant girl is indeed unusual.

At the beginning, the magistrate had asserted that this woman had a very good character and would have great fortunes in the future.

Unexpectedly, he actually got it right, and he was actually willing to let go of such a great fortune, just in exchange for the Master of the Prefect not being punished.

The father-in-law had a signature smile on his face, "Your Majesty, please be careful. Your Majesty's reward is not just something you want or don't accept. The reward has been given. If you don't accept it, you are disobeying the decree. .”

He wanted to see if the newly appointed Lord of Anyang County was really willing to use his own merits in exchange for the prefect not being punished, or if he was just pretending.

She looked at her father-in-law with a calm face, "As a civilian girl, I would like to ask your father-in-law to tell you whether the prefect will be punished."

The father-in-law was stunned and then smiled.

This time it was a genuine smile.

The head of Anyang County is not only capable of meritorious deeds, but also has a flexible mind.

Instead of falling into his trap, she asked him a question instead.

That's all, he could also see that the Anyang County Lord was capable and might do something else in the future.

What's more, there are people above to protect her, so it's better not to offend her now.

He actually smiled and said, "We shouldn't have said this, but the county prince insisted on asking, so we just mentioned that the magistrate has not been punished, and the county prince can accept the order with peace of mind."

Ye Lingyao smiled and nodded, raising her hands above her head, "My maid, thank you for your kindness. Long live your Majesty."

Don't say it yet.

No matter which dynasty we go to, this sentence is universal.

Seeing her accept the order, the county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief.

Just take the order.

The emperor named her after Anyang County. This is the honor of the Ye family and the honor of Anyang County.

When mentioning Anyang County Lord in the future, everyone will know that he is a person from Anyang County.

Although there was no reward for the land, the county king who climbed up from a peasant girl was a real credit.

Everyone followed her and knelt down together, shouting long live!

After she finished receiving the imperial edict, the father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and gave her a virtual support with one hand.

"Please call the county prince quickly. The decree has been conveyed, so our family will feel relieved."

Ye Lingyao thought for a while, took out 100 taels of silver notes from the space, and handed them to her father-in-law, "Thank you very much, father-in-law. I will treat these as wedding gifts. Please accept them."

The father-in-law was even more happy.

It's normal to charge some hard work for this trip. What's more, the county gentleman is very sensible and doesn't look like a farmer at all, so he is even more satisfied.

Then he took the silver note honestly and said, "Thank you so much, Lord County, for the reward."

She smiled and said nothing.

The county magistrate hurriedly stood up and said, "My father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way, and please go to the backyard of the government office to rest. I will host a banquet tonight, just in time to celebrate the great happiness of the Lord of Anyang County."

The journey was very tiring, and my father-in-law also planned to stay in Anyang County for some time. He happened to find out more about the Lord of Anyang County so that he could report to the emperor when he returned.

Then he agreed.

Next, the father-in-law went to the backyard, while Magistrate Lu looked at Ye Lingyao with a complicated expression.

At this moment, I don't know what kind of attitude I should use to look at the person in front of me.

He is the county magistrate and is in the seventh rank.

But the person in front of me was assigned as a county king as soon as he came, and he was still a fifth grade.

Although she is a woman with no real power, she is still two levels higher than him, and she cannot use her original attitude in the future.

Ye Lingyao noticed his gaze and guessed what the magistrate was thinking.

"Master Lu, I'll take my family back first. I'll inform you at Tianxiang Tower."
