Seeing that his uncle was fighting the Tartars, Shen Cungeng went to join him, but the old man at the gate pulled him back and said, "You'll be in the way if you go."

This one was surrounded by many people and cars in a small circle and fighting with Shen Cunsui.

The other Tartar who escaped was also chased by the crowd and was surrounded by the yamen runners.

The warehouse was in chaos all of a sudden. Fortunately, County Magistrate Tan had taken precautions early on and temporarily closed the tax inspection checkpoints for both land and water transportation.

The river patrol officers and soldiers who were seconded arrived in time, and as soon as they got off the boat, they received orders from their superiors to surround the warehouse.

Some guys who wanted to take advantage of the chaos were quickly subdued by the soldiers who rushed in.

When the riot broke out at Shen Xiaoye's place, there were few people and cars passing by the door, but someone rushed in and wanted to steal some things. However, he did not expect that she, the gatekeeper, was particularly good at fighting. She pulled out the door bolt and beat the scoundrel until he screamed.

So much so that the soldiers who came here to arrest people thought she was a villain, and the big knife approached her in an instant: "Stop."

"Sir, help me?" The scoundrel rolled on the ground holding his head. He just wanted to take away a few packets of tea in the chaos. Was it necessary to beat him to death?

Shen Xiaoye took back the bolt and stood still, shouting, "Hello, two soldiers, quickly catch this guy. He's robbing the tea warehouse."

The man was curled up on the ground groaning. The two soldiers looked at each other and said, "Throw away what you have in your hand."

Shen Xiaoye:……

"I was a janitor for someone, and the one who was beaten was a thief.

Ask the people on both sides. "Whoever is weaker is right?" She said so, but she didn't want to fight with the soldiers, so she threw down the bolt.

The people from both warehouses arrived at the door early and just peeked in. They were about to open the door when Yue Jinxuan ran over and asked, "Niece, where is Brother Changsui?"

"Hey, Master Yue, please prove to me that I am a good person." Shen Xiaoye raised his hand and shook it hard.

Yue Jinxuan's family was considered one of the wealthiest businessmen in Linghe County, and the soldiers who often patrolled the river nearby knew a few of them.

He glanced at the man with a bruised face and nose on the ground, feeling sorry for him, then walked over and said a few words to the two soldiers, and the two soldiers took the man away.

Shen Xiaoye said indignantly: "Why don't you believe me?"

"Then I have to ask you what you just did." If Yue Jinxuan hadn't seen someone being injured by her from afar, he really couldn't imagine her bravery.

He asked, "Why are you the only one here?"

"My fourth uncle and his men are delivering the goods over there." Shen Xiaoye pointed to the warehouse in the distance. She noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered there.

"Why exactly? It's all a bit chaotic all of a sudden. Can you help me take a look?"

She wanted to go by herself, but she had to take care of the warehouse after she finished her work.

Yue Jinxuan did not move: "They said they caught a Tartar spy who set the fire. There is one surrounded over there too. I can't get close to that end now."

"They are so brave that they dare to sneak in here and set fire." Something was wrong. Shen Xiaoye couldn't figure it out so she didn't think about it. She felt that with one or two Tartars and the soldiers surrounding them, her uncle could still protect her and her cousin.

"How are your goods?" She finally remembered to care about her uncle's classmates.

Yue Jinxuan had come to Shen Changsui for this matter, but he didn't expect to see his niece showing off her power. "Can your family print and dye a continuous cloud pattern on plain cloth?"

"Yes." Shen Xiaoye thought about it and it was possible, it was just a matter of carving a new version.

Yue Jinxuan heaved a sigh of relief: "My warehouse was not burned, but the gate of the transfer warehouse allocated by the Ministry of Revenue to Daningwei was burned.

A lot of river water was poured in when the fire was put out, and hundreds of pieces of plain cotton cloth were blurred."

"And then what?" This should be handled by the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War, right?

Yue Jinxuan sighed, "Then someone came and said that County Magistrate Tan and the Inspection Office had failed to take good care of us, and they demanded compensation.

Look, after the negotiation just now, it was decided that the plain cloth of the same grade as mine would be used first, and the ones with blurred patterns would be handed over to Linghe County for disposal.

County Magistrate Tan told my father that if the water stains could not be bleached out, the county government would pay for the dyeing to be done by the dyeing factory, but my father said that the price could only be lower.

I thought, it would be better to earn money for your family than to let the dyeing factory in the next county make it.”

"We will definitely dye it." Although she knew she shouldn't laugh at this time, Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but curl her lips. She especially wanted to tell her uncle and cousin the good news.

When she was confirming with Yue Jinxuan how many pieces of cloth there were, she didn't know that her uncle was meeting with County Magistrate Tan alone in an empty warehouse.

"Shen Changsui, you did a good job in capturing a Tartar.

How did you identify them at that time? "

"It wasn't me, someone bumped into them and yelled... he kicked... and then everyone worked together to hold the guy down." Shen Changsui narrated the whole thing, omitting the detail that he understood the languages ​​of the various ethnic groups on the grassland. After all, he had never learned them in this life.

County Magistrate Tan nodded, and after a moment’s silence, he said, “Those two men said the knife was not theirs, and the clan emblem was wrong.

Do you want to recall the appearance of the person who bumped into them?"

Shen Changsui knew that the other party was trying to trick him, but the incident happened suddenly and he only saw the side profile of the man who hit him and the knife, so he said, "He has a short beard, is tall and thin, and his face is not clear."

"Can you draw it? Mr. Pan is a good painter." County Magistrate Tan ordered other participants to describe it to the painter, but it was not finished in such a short time.

Shen Changsui said: "Students are not good at this."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to spend money to hire someone to draw the patterns when carving the patterns for printing and dyeing.

County Magistrate Tan: "Okay, let me think about it later and describe it to the painter.

Involved in arson and espionage, remember to be on call recently."

"Yes." Shen Changsui bowed, took two steps back and turned to leave.

After a while, someone reported to County Magistrate Tan that Mr. Pan, who could speak Tartar, had been invited to talk to the two Tartars in person.

Shen Changsui knew nothing about this. As soon as he came out, he said to his anxiously waiting nephew, "Did you go to see Xiaoye?"

"They wouldn't let us leave, saying we couldn't leave until we finished the portrait." Shen Cungeng had no choice.

Shen Changsui thought for a moment and asked the old gatekeeper, "Do you have anyone you know who can go to the old warehouse to see how my niece is doing?"

"Yes." The old man was very familiar with the warehouses at the ferry. "I have already asked. Your niece is very capable. She even beat down a scoundrel who broke into the warehouse and robbed it."

Then the old man whispered again: "I saw that the man who bumped into you looked at you twice more when he disappeared into the crowd. He might know you."

"?" Shen Changsui's heart sank.

Finally, the old man laughed and said, "But I didn't tell others because I'm old and my eyes are blurry. All the Tartars should be killed.

The Second Master just killed those two and everyone was very happy. "

"Uncle, but I don't even know who that person is." Shen Changsui was a little amused, but at least Xiaoye was fine.

Not only did Shen Xiaoye have nothing to do, she also walked around the warehouse out of boredom after Yue Jinxuan left and found some moldy tea leaves.

Instantly, the little girl smiled. She wanted to ask the old man who was in charge of the warehouse whether to deal with the tea leaves. She wanted all of them.
