A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian looked at County Magistrate Yao with a half-smile and said, "Sir, I remember the third place winner of the poetry gathering that day should be your daughter, Miss Yao Ning, right?"

County Magistrate Yao did not say anything. There was suspicion, inquiry, and disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Shen Qingqian.

Shen Qingqian continued, "Sir, my teacher, Master Zhou, told me that he wanted to hold a poetry gathering in Ping'an Town, but it was you who recommended him to hold the poetry gathering in Lan Yaju!

Since the location of the poetry reading was recommended by the adults, I believe the adults should also know the purpose of the teacher holding the poetry reading, right? "

After hearing Shen Qingqian's words, County Magistrate Yao's expression changed from suspicion to shock!

Shen Qingqian was very proud in her heart. She had such a big thigh to hold on to, wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't use it to suppress this dog official?

Without waiting for Magistrate Yao to speak, she continued, "However, it doesn't matter if you don't know. I will tell you now that the teacher held the poetry gathering that time in order to select a standout among them to become his favorite student.

Since I got the first place, it is only natural for me to become the teacher's student!"

County Magistrate Yao certainly knew what Shen Qingqian said. How could County Magistrate Yao not pay attention to the fact that the Grand Tutor had retired and returned to Ping'an Town?

At this time, he finally believed what Shen Qingqian said!

"Miss Shen, are you really Shen Qing? Are you now Master Zhou's student?"

Listen, there is a difference when reporting the teacher's name, she is called Miss Shen all of a sudden!

Shen Qingqian said: "Sir, actually my name is not Shen Qing, I am Shen Qingqian. Shen Qing is just a fake name to cover up my identity!

As a student of the Grand Tutor, I naturally have to keep a low profile!

However, if someone bullies me, I will have to ask the teacher for help! "

County Magistrate Yao looked embarrassed and said, "Actually, there are indeed some misunderstandings in this matter. How about Miss Shen go back today and wait for me to re-investigate before hearing the case?"

Shen Qingqian knew clearly that Magistrate Yao's re-investigation was just to find out whether she was Master Zhou's student or not!

However, the fact that County Magistrate Yao was willing to let her go now showed that the old fox believed her words to about 70%.

Shen Qingqian is not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will! Since County Magistrate Yao is afraid of Master Zhou, she must take advantage of the situation!

Shen Qingqian took out two hundred taels of silver notes from her sleeve, raised her hands above her head, and said, "Please forgive me, sir. I just lied. I actually have silver.

This two hundred taels of silver is the share money that my teacher gave me when my inn opened yesterday. I will now pay this money back to Gu Dachun!"

The share of money from Mr. Zhou? Would County Magistrate Yao dare to take it? Would he dare to give this banknote to Gu Dachun?

County Magistrate Yao looked pale. What did Shen Qingqian mean? Wouldn't it be enough if she just told him from the beginning that she was Tutor Zhou's student?

After going through so much trouble with him, he is suddenly involved with Master Zhou. Isn't this putting him in a difficult position?

At this moment, the door of the lobby was suddenly pushed open, and an old man with noble airs walked in, followed by Shen Qingfeng.

As soon as Shen Qingfeng came in, he looked Shen Qingqian up and down. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to salute County Magistrate Yao.

The old man who came with Shen Qingfeng was not Zhou Hongqian, but Mr. Meng!

County Magistrate Yao knew Zhou Hongqian, but not Mr. Meng. He didn't know who this person who suddenly broke in was, and he didn't even salute him, so he was naturally unhappy!

But seeing that the old man's momentum should not be underestimated, County Magistrate Yao did not dare to shout at him, and only asked: "Who are you, and why are you trespassing in the court?"

Old Meng didn't even look at County Magistrate Yao. He just took out a golden token from his waist and held it in his hand for County Magistrate Yao to see.

"Imperial Physician, Lord Meng!"

County Magistrate Yao muttered to himself, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face!

Shen Qingqian didn't know what Mr. Meng's specific identity was before, but now she understood after hearing what County Magistrate Yao said.

The imperial physician is the doctor who treats the nobles in the palace!

Mr. Meng and Zhou Hongqian have a close relationship. Shen Qingqian guessed that Mr. Meng, the imperial physician, should be of a high rank.

Magistrate Yao is at best a seventh-rank official, and his official position is definitely not higher than that of Elder Meng!

Sure enough, County Magistrate Yao quickly came down from his seat and saluted to Mr. Meng.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Meng."

General Meng put away his token, stood with his hands behind his back, and ignored County Magistrate Yao. Instead, he said to Shen Qingqian, who was kneeling on the ground, "Girl, you haven't been wronged, have you?"

County Magistrate Yao was completely confused! This Shen Qingqian was not only a student of Master Zhou, but also knew the fourth-rank imperial physician in the capital?

Didn’t his brother-in-law, Mr. Gu, say yesterday that Shen Qingqian was just an ordinary peasant girl who could be manipulated at will?

How will he end up in this situation? He has been badly hurt by Master Gu!

Now that his backer has arrived, how could Shen Qingqian let County Magistrate Yao go so easily!

"Qing Qian has met Mr. Meng, I..."

Shen Qingqian stood up from the ground and bowed to Mr. Meng. However, halfway through his words, his body suddenly tilted and he fell forward, and the banknotes in his hand fell to the ground.

Shen Qingfeng was quick to grab her and asked with concern, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Qingqian rubbed her legs and said, "I'm fine, I just knelt for too long and couldn't stand steadily.

"Second brother, help me pick up the banknotes on the ground and give them to Lord Yao. They are compensation for Gu Dachun. If I give them too late, Lord Yao said he would punish me! Second brother, I'm scared!"

County Magistrate Yao was in a state of panic! Shen Qingqian clearly did this on purpose!

Although Lord Meng was only an imperial physician and had no jurisdiction over him, he was going to take up his post in the capital after the Chinese New Year!

If he offends the nobles in the capital now, the relationships among officials are complicated and it will be detrimental to his career!

County Magistrate Yao glanced at Elder Meng's expression and quickly said, "Miss Shen, didn't I just say that there are some misunderstandings in this matter and it needs to be re-investigated?

Let's not talk about compensation for now. Miss Shen, please keep the banknotes. Now that your brother is here, why don't you go back with him first?"

"Ah? Then Lord Yao will not punish me?" Shen Qingqian asked with an exaggerated expression.

At this moment, County Magistrate Yao just wanted to send Shen Qingqian and the others away quickly, so he smiled and said, "Of course! I was deceived by Gu Dachun just now and misunderstood Miss Shen.

Now that I think about it, Miss Shen is the victim!"

After that, he shouted to the yamen runner standing next to him, "Come here, Gu Dachun deliberately framed Miss Shen and misled me. Take him away and give him twenty heavy beatings!"

Gu Dachun was completely stunned! Wasn't this all Master Gu's order for him to do? How did he become a frame-up?

"My Lord, it's unfair! My Lord, I just followed the instructions..."

"Shut up! He's making so much noise!"

County Magistrate Yao interrupted what Gu Dachun was about to say, and soon a bailiff stuffed a piece of rag into Gu Dachun's mouth and dragged him away.
