On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

According to what I agreed with the coachman, I would stop by Mo County on the way back to Beijing.

All the way north, Shen Wantang felt unusually relaxed.

The only thing is that Shen Wantang left all his money to Hua Niang, and now he is penniless.

Fortunately, we have Cen Xiao, the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Miss Shen, now you owe me sixty-eight taels of silver." Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and moved closer to Shen Wantang.

"Just keep this in mind, my lord. When I return to the capital, I will send the silver to your house as soon as possible."

Shen Wantang didn't care and responded coldly.

Cen Xiao had long been accustomed to Shen Wantang's indifference.

When we set out for Nanzhou, it was just the beginning of spring. Now on our way back, the snow has melted and the willow trees have sprouted.

"Mo County is just ahead." the coachman shouted.

Shen Wantang slowly opened the curtain and saw the city wall of Mo County from afar.

"I haven't seen County Magistrate Jiang for a long time. I wonder if he is fatter now?"

Cen Xiao spoke jokingly.

When the car arrived at the city gate, Shen Wantang handed over the pass, and the official was stunned.

After letting the carriage go, a quick-footed yamen runner hurried to the county government office to deliver the message.

When Shen Wantang's car stopped, County Magistrate Jiang was already waiting outside the county government office, with the same fawning smile on his face as before.

"I didn't know Lord Shen was coming in person, and I was unable to go to the city gate to greet him. This is really disrespectful!" County Magistrate Jiang stepped forward to greet him.

Shen Wantang also smiled: "Mr. Jiang is very busy with official duties, how can I trouble you to go and greet him in person."

After getting off the car, County Magistrate Jiang led Shen Wantang to the government office.

"I haven't heard any news from above. I wonder if you are here again because of the rebels?"

Magistrate Jiang asked tentatively.

"That's nothing. The rebels have been wiped out long ago. The world is peaceful now. There is no such dirty things as the county magistrate said."

Shen Wantang laughed it off.

But County Magistrate Jiang slowed down his pace, and the official behind him came forward and whispered in his ear: "Lord Shen came from the south, not from the north."

South! ?

Magistrate Jiang was as shrewd as a ghost and he knew the whole story in a snap.

There was another disaster in Nanzhou in the south, and the higher-ups sent a relief worker down. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Shen Wantang.

"It's bad!" County Magistrate Jiang felt uneasy and panicked, and wanted to chase after Shen Wantang.

But I was certain in my heart, yet it felt wrong.

"Go, go and find the accountant for me!" Magistrate Jiang said hurriedly.

Although the officer didn't understand why, he still copied it.

At that time, Cen Xiao, who had settled down, knocked on Shen Wantang's door.

"Now that we've arrived in Mo County, why don't you deal with that County Magistrate Jiang?" Cen Xiao asked, somewhat confused.

Shen Wantang just leisurely poured a cup of tea and slowly said, "No hurry, it's not time yet. We have to give our County Magistrate Jiang some time to reflect on himself."

It is not very hot in spring, but Magistrate Jiang in the accounting office is already sweating profusely and his clothes are wet.

"Any news about the batch of grain sent to Nanzhou these days?"

County Magistrate Jiang asked in a low voice.

The accountant shook his head repeatedly, muttering, "According to reason, the money should be delivered in the next few days, but there is no movement yet..."

"Are you sure that this matter is done flawlessly?" County Magistrate Jiang asked hurriedly, holding the accountant's hand tightly.

The old man nodded repeatedly and vowed: "Don't worry, sir. I am very rigorous in my work and will definitely not let others notice anything."

This is true. Since I changed the accounting office, there has not been any mistake.

But County Magistrate Jiang was still worried, as he felt that Shen Wantang's visit this time was strange.

"She came from Nanzhou, and it would be fastest to go all the way north to the capital. Why would she make a detour to my Mo County? No, no, no, she must have known about the food!"

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Jiang suddenly felt uneasy again.

“No, no, I… I…” County Magistrate Jiang didn’t know what to do at this moment.

"I'm going to die anyway! If an official does these things privately, he will be stripped of his official hat!" Magistrate Jiang was so anxious that tears came out of his eyes.

"If I had known this, I would not have gotten involved in this mess." County Magistrate Jiang regretted his decision, but now, there is no room for maneuver.

The accountant who had been stunned for a long time said slowly: "Sir, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

County Magistrate Jiang was so anxious that he pounded the table: "It's already now, and you are still keeping me in suspense! If I lose my official hat, I will drag you out first!"

The accountant then spoke up: "I know how Lady Shen used to do things. She is upright and righteous, but also reasonable. If you admit this yourself, maybe Lady Shen will let you go."

County Magistrate Jiang had never thought of this, but...

If Shen Wantang didn't come for this matter, then he would have been exposed.

This... the risk is too great!

The accountant also understood Magistrate Jiang's concerns. He stepped forward and grabbed Magistrate Jiang's hand, looking at him sincerely: "Sir, please listen to me. Lord Shen will not pursue you. If it really doesn't work, you can donate more grain and go to Nanzhou again."

Now, this is the only way...

As night fell, dinner was already prepared in the side hall.

County Magistrate Jiang's heart was about to jump out of his chest, but he still comforted himself: "It's okay, it's okay. Lord Shen is reasonable and will not embarrass me..."

But when he turned around, he saw Shen Wantang, and his heart skipped a beat.

County Magistrate Jiang managed to force out an ugly smile, and spoke with a slight stutter: "Shen, Lord Shen..."

Shen Wantang smiled calmly.

"Lord Jiang really respects me by preparing such a wonderful dinner for us. I must toast you a glass." As he said this, Shen Wantang raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

At that time, beads of sweat gradually appeared on County Magistrate Jiang's forehead.

He raised his head, dismissed his attendants, but hesitated to speak.

"Lord Jiang, are you going to say something?" Shen Wantang blinked and asked in pretended confusion.

The county magistrate drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, just to boost his courage.

"Sir Shen, I am wrong!"

With a shrill cry, County Magistrate Jiang fell to his knees on the ground.

Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows and looked at Cen Xiao.

"Since Lord Jiang said there was a mistake, please tell me over there. Lord Jiang, what mistake did you make?" Shen Wantang said slowly.

Lord Jiang's back was already wet with sweat and his voice was trembling.

"I was greedy for temporary money, so I learned those dirty tricks. Please punish me, Lord Shen!" Lord Jiang spoke while holding his breath.
