Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After Zheng Shixian, the corrupt official, was fired, all the officials in the yamen ran to the lobby and stood in line.

In the past, they could still joke and make noises with Gu Chan, but now, each one of them was more scared than the other. No one dared to look Gu Chan in the face, for fear of offending her and losing their jobs.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "Don't be like this, come back to your senses. This is all the work of the Imperial Envoy hiding behind the scenes. I'm just a kid, can the Emperor really let me be the Imperial Envoy?"

"Phew...you really scared us to death."

"That's right! I thought our jobs would be in jeopardy!"

"Manager Gu, please don't scare us! We are just trying to make a living, there is nothing we can do."

When the officials heard what Gu Chan said, they relaxed and returned to their previous ways, complaining to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction.

She actually doesn't like to show off. Things like showing off are what men like to do. She is just a woman, and what she likes most is a low-key and fulfilling life.

Shen Sanfeng sat aside and said, "You drove Zheng Shixian away, which is not a big deal, but the key is that Zhongyuan City cannot be without a county magistrate in the future! We have to pick a new county magistrate!"

"I haven't decided who to choose yet. How about godfather, can you recommend someone?" Gu Chan said with a blink.

As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family!

The Central Plains area of ​​Tiancang Country is a wealthy place. Whoever becomes the county magistrate will have a lucrative job. So Gu Chan now thinks that he should let one of his family members be the county magistrate.

No matter what, if a member of the Shen family becomes the county magistrate, it will be easier to do things with her in the future!

Shen Sanfeng smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He had already become very smart and naturally understood what Gu Chan meant. However, his Shen family did not have anyone who was suitable to be a county magistrate and govern the entire Central Plains.

You can't let his useless son Shen Wuji or grandson Shen Yao take over, right?

Seeing that her godfather didn't say anything, Gu Chan didn't get anxious either. She turned to the officials and said, "Okay, all of you go and do your own things. Before the new county magistrate arrives, I will take charge of the government office first."

"Yes, Manager Gu." Everyone responded in unison.

Then they left and went about their own business.

Gu Chan turned her head to look at Shen Sanfeng and said, "Godfather, don't sit here, let's go to the Shen family! I haven't been there for a long time, and by the way, I'll go and discuss when you will return to Wuheng County on the border."

"Okay, I'm worried about this too!" Shen Sanfeng nodded.

After saying that, the two of them left the county government office, carrying the county magistrate's official uniform, hat, and seal, and headed towards the Shen family.

Half an hour later.

The two came to the lobby of the Shen family's front yard.

When Shen Wuji and Shen Yao, father and son, learned that Gu Chan had arrived, they ran faster than rabbits and quickly rushed into the front yard lobby, trying to show their courtesy to her in various ways.

Shen Yaogen stood obediently beside Gu Chan and took the initiative to rub her shoulders.

Shen Wuji was serving tea and peeling oranges on the side, and he almost put the peeled oranges into Gu Chan's mouth with his own hands.

Shen Sanfeng sat in the first seat, looking at them with a look of disgust. He was extremely speechless towards them.

Shen Wuji said shamelessly, "Second brother! I heard that you just went to the county government and killed that bastard Zheng Shixian, right?"

"Yes! That happened. I've already asked him to pack up and leave. He should have returned to the Zheng family by now." Gu Chan said while crossing his legs.

"Second brother, good things should be kept within the family! You have to support our Shen family in the job of the new county magistrate, don't you think?" Shen Wuji said with an apologetic smile.

Gu Chan said seriously, "Yes, that's what I told my godfather, so I came with him to the Shen family to pick someone!"

"Second brother, there is no need to say more. What do you think of me? As the eldest uncle of the Shen family, I, Shen Wuji, have been in charge of the Shen family for so many years. I have helped the old man manage the Shen family so well. If you want me to govern the entire Central Plains, you can rest assured that I will definitely make sure that the people have enough food and clothing and live a good life." Shen Wuji immediately stretched out his hand and patted his chest to guarantee.

Shen Yao also said, "Yes, Second Uncle, my father has the ability to do this, and we have already discussed it. When my father takes office, he will immediately allocate funds to rebuild the northern refugee zone. From now on, the northern part of Zhongyuan City will no longer be called a refugee zone, and the people there will live a good life."

"Really?" Gu Chan pretended to be surprised.

Shen Wuji and Shen Yao nodded their heads like wave drums.

Shen Sanfeng couldn't bear it any longer and shouted coldly, "Don't embarrass me. Get out of here."

"Dad, how could you do this?"

"Grandpa, we are here to bring honor to the Shen family! You are not trying to stop us!"

Shen Wuji and Shen Yao both spoke angrily.

Shen Sanfeng glared at the two men and yelled, "What kind of character are you? Everyone in my Shen family knows this. If he really becomes the county magistrate, there will be complaints in Zhongyuan City. What if he ruins our Shen family's reputation?"

"Godfather, you're being too polite. They will always grow up. How can they always stay the same?" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

"A dog will always eat shit." Shen Sanfeng said with a grim face.

Shen Wuji and Shen Yao were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.

Shen Sanfeng said directly, "I already have a candidate in mind. Someone, go to Qixing Mountain and call the eldest son back."

"Grandpa, you are biased. You allowed the third son to go to Kyoto for further studies but didn't let me go. Now that there's an opportunity to become a county magistrate, you ask someone to call the eldest son. You don't take me, your grandson, seriously at all." Shen Yao was so angry that he pointed at his grandfather and cursed.

Shen Wuji was suddenly stunned, and he calmed down in an instant.

Obviously, even if the position of county magistrate does not fall to him, it would be fine if it falls to his son!

No matter whether it is the eldest son, the second son, or the third son of the Shen family, each one is his biological son. Since his son became a county magistrate, he, as a father, would not lose out and would be able to benefit as well.

Then why is he still yelling?

Shen Sanfeng roared angrily, "Well, since you said so today, then I tell you, I will not only call back your eldest brother, but also your eldest sister. Then you can compete with the two of them. Whoever has the ability will be the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City."

"No, godfather, can I interrupt you for a moment? How many grandchildren do you have?" Gu Chan quickly waved her hand to interrupt.

She knew before that there was someone above Shen Yao, the second son of the Shen family, but she never knew who was the leader of the Shen family's grandchildren.

Now hearing Shen Sanfeng calling her like that, she was confused again. How come Shen Yao not only had an older brother, but also an older sister?
