Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Shen Zheng smiled and put Yu Shizhang's letter aside. Just as she was about to open Yu Nanshu's letter, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, may I come in?"

It was Li Hongmao's voice, and there seemed to be Fang Ziyan chattering behind him.

"Enter."

"Sir Shen! Sir Shen! Brother Zhao said that the prefect and Nan Shu sent a letter and brought a lot of small things to me and Zhao Qi, right?"

Fang Ziyan arrived before he even entered.

He and Pei Zhaoqi followed Li Hongmao and walked in.

He sniffed and his eyes were fixed on the letter on Shen Zheng's desk.

Uncle Magistrate and Nan Shu really wrote to them! I heard from Brother Zhao that Nan Shu even wrote to them specially!

Shen Zheng smiled and asked them to sit down, then took the letter from the table and handed it to Fang Ziyan.

"This is the letter Nan Shu wrote to you and Zhao Qi, as well as the things she gave you. They have all been moved to your room."

"Nan Shu's gift to me and Zhao Qi!"

When Fang Ziyan heard that the letter had been put into the house, he didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to run away after taking the letter.

"Ziyan."

Li Hongmao only called him once, but Fang Ziyan seemed to be under a spell.

He smiled awkwardly, pulled Pei Zhaoqi's sleeve and turned back.

"master......"

Li Hongmao said calmly, "Both the gift and the letter are from the heart. Nan Shu wrote to you thinking of you. You can't just look at the gift and not read the letter."

Fang Ziyan lowered his head.

He also knew that he would tend to be unruly when he was happy.

Pei Zhaoqi patted his shoulder and said softly:

"Let's read Nan Shu's letter first. Maybe she shared other things with us in the letter. Don't you want to know?"

"miss you!"

Fang Ziyan's eyes lit up as he pulled Pei Zhaoqi to sit down.

His emotions come and go quickly.

Pei Zhaoqi glanced at Li Hongmao, who smiled helplessly and motioned them to read the letter first.

When Li Hongmao came over, Shen Zheng temporarily put Yu Nanshu's letter aside.

Yu Zhengqing's letter was pressed on the table, and she was not allowed to show it to Li Hongmao. Instead, she dictated:

"Lord Yu sent a letter saying that he has obtained the trust and investigated, and Bi Keji will be imprisoned soon."

She deliberately emphasized the word "soon" and stopped talking after that, giving Li Hongmao time to digest it.

Li Hongmao's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense.

Bi Keji.

This name was like a thorn in his flesh, like a snake or scorpion.

In fact, he rarely thought about the past during this period of time, but he didn't know whether it was because his current life was good and the pain was alleviated, or if he subconsciously wanted to escape.

After all, the loss of his family and the displacement he suffered were pains he could never describe in his life.

Li Hongmao clenched his fists unconsciously. In an instant, he lost the ability to think and felt his head buzzing.

Fang Ziyan didn't notice his abnormality. He just heard that someone was going to jail, so he asked curiously, "Bi Keji was imprisoned? Who is he? Why was he imprisoned?"

No one cares about him.

He tilted his head, looked at Shen Zheng, and then at Li Hongmao.

"master!"

Fang Ziyan stood up suddenly.

He noticed something was wrong with Li Hongmao.

"Master! What's wrong with you? Don't be angry, don't be angry, Master, drink some water!"

He awkwardly reached out his hand to help Li Hongmao calm down, while taking the teacup handed to him by Pei Zhaoqi and letting Li Hongmao drink some water.

Pei Zhaoqi also stood up, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes full of worry.

He didn't know who Bi Keji was just now, but after seeing his master's reaction, he understood.

The beast who caused the master's family to be destroyed.

Pei Zhaoqi clenched his fists, walked forward and patted Li Hongmao on the back.

"Master, he is in jail. He will be punished."

In fact, Pei Zhaoqi himself knew that his comfort was pale and had no effect.

He hated himself for being incompetent. If he had been capable, he would not have to wait until the prefect came to avenge his master. Instead, he would have tied up the man named Bi and handed him over to his master for punishment.

This idea was very dark and not in line with the character of scholars like them, but Pei Zhaoqi just wanted to do so.

Li Hongmao suddenly came back to his senses.

In front of him were three worried faces. Fang Ziyan tried to calm him down clumsily, and Pei Zhaoqi comforted him with poor words.

He looked at the two young disciples and suddenly felt confused and at a loss.

This reaction was actually not in line with his role as a "master", but at this moment, he couldn't think too much about it.

Fang Ziyan handed the water to him and stared at him with wet eyes.

"Master, are you thinking of something unhappy? Tell Zi Yan. Zi Yan and Zhao Qi are trying to make you happy. Don't be unhappy alone."

Li Hongmao looked at Fang Ziyan's little mouth opening and closing, and felt his eyes getting warm, his emotions difficult to express in words.

He turned his back and wiped his eyes vigorously.

He must have scared the two little disciples just now.

"Master is fine, I just recalled some past events. But it doesn't matter, now Master has you, which is the greatest blessing in Master's life."

"Alas--"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziyan wanted to go up and cover Li Hongmao's mouth.

"Master, it's strange for you to say that. You can't say that."

He said sincerely, "I've heard them say that the greatest blessing in a person's life should be passing the imperial examination and having a wedding night. You haven't even found a mistress for us yet, so how can that be considered the greatest blessing?"

Fang Ziyan chatted seriously, making the originally dull atmosphere in the study room a little more relaxed.

Li Hongmao looked at the two young disciples gently, and his expression was no longer tense.

Seeing this, Shen Zheng continued with Fang Ziyan's words:

"Who told you this, Ziyan? The child has grown up now and already knows about Master's Wife."

Fang Ziyan bared his teeth and said, "I heard from Brother Zhao that Brother Xiao Yuan is getting married, isn't he?"

Shen Zheng nodded. By the way, Xiao Yuan was going to get married, so she had to prepare gifts in advance.

Pei Zhaoqi had been secretly observing Li Hongmao's expression, and only felt relieved when he saw his breathing gradually stabilize.

He picked up the letter from the table, pulled Fang Ziyan's sleeve and said:

"Master, Master Shen, Zi Yan and I will go back to our room to read the letters and reply to them. We will also take a look at the things that Nan Shu sent us so that we can prepare the return gifts."

Li Hongmao turned around after hearing that, and Pei Zhaoqi smiled warmly at him.

In fact, Pei Zhaoqi seldom laughs, but every time he laughs from the bottom of his heart, it is like warm sunshine.

Li Hongmao also felt warm in his heart.

More than once he felt that it was not him who was teaching Pei Zhaoqi and Fang Ziyan, but they were the ones who were healing him - in their own unique way.

Maybe the method is a bit clumsy, but the effect is obvious.

He smiled back, "Go ahead and write a good reply to Nan Shu."

Fang Ziyan was a little confused, but still followed Pei Zhaoqi out, looking back every few steps.

"Are you feeling better?" Shen Zheng was not good at comforting people. She hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Actually, I didn't know how to tell you this, but when Zhao Qi and Zi Yan came in with you just now, I felt that this was the right time. Don't blame me for being abrupt."

Li Hongmao let out a long sigh and looked towards the door.

I can still seem to hear Fang Ziyan chattering.

"My Lord, please do not be abrupt. If you had not chosen this best time, I would have been in a state of confusion and would have been unable to let go for a long time. This is just right."

He looked at Shen Zheng and smiled back.

"In life, we must always look forward. I think the current situation is good enough. I will go back and deal with that bastard after a hundred years. If I still can't find him..."

Li Hongmao sneered: "He died early and was reincarnated quickly."
