Lord Shen?

Everyone present was stunned, their eyes full of disbelief. Even the hands pointing at Shen Zheng could not be retracted in time, and they just remained trembling in the air.

"What do you mean? Is this woman really Lord Shen?"

"How could that be! Didn't Brother Pan say that she looks different from the portrait?"

"Why not? Would Lord Yin lie with his eyes open? I think you haven't eaten rice for a long time, you are starving!"

Others might lie to them, but would Lord Yin, who had seen Lord Shen with his own eyes, also lie to them?

Totally impossible!

So the woman in front of him who calls herself "Lord Shen" is really Lord Shen, the magistrate of Tongan County!

God——

What did they just do?

Yin Wencai was so anxious that he almost cried.

Previously, the constable came to report that a horse-drawn carriage had arrived in the county, and that it was carrying people from outside the county, and that one of the women called herself "Shen Zheng." It was estimated that she was fake again, so the common people should just deal with her and told him not to go again.

He also thought that the person who came might be fake, but he couldn't help but wonder - what if Lord Shen really came?

If it was really Lord Shen, and he was stopped on the road and verbally abused by the county residents, how disappointed Lord Shen would be, and he might even regret helping them in the first place.

Thinking of this, Yin Wencai became more and more restless. In the end, he ignored the constable's obstruction and came to personally verify whether "Lord Shen" was real or fake.

Fortunately he is here.

He would not mistake the person waving at him in the carriage.

"Sir Shen, Sir Shen..." Yin Wencai hurriedly pushed aside the county residents who were blocking his way, and walked to the carriage in two or three steps, tears in his eyes, flashing a light called "fear", "We were negligent, really negligent, they..."

He looked at the county residents around him, his face full of helplessness: "Did they offend you... It's okay for me to discipline them. I apologize to you on their behalf..."

Seeing Yin Wencai again, Shen Zheng couldn't help but recall all the things that happened to him in Tongan County.

Yin Wencai is really a very good official, just like now - he did not scold the people, nor did he feel that the people had brought shame to him or the county. Instead, like a qualified patriarch, he stood in the front and protected them from wind and rain.

"That's not the case." Shen Zheng jumped off the car and saluted him back. "From their few words, I can tell that the county is not stable right now. It's understandable that they are like this. I'm not angry, and Lord Yin, you don't have to blame yourself."

Life would be extremely boring if one gets angry about everything.

And the "fake Shen Zheng" who had come to Baiyun County before must have done something to the county, so the county residents were afraid that she was fake again and their reaction was so intense.

To be honest, the county residents are doing this for the good of the county and for the good of the county magistrate Yin Wencai.

But Shen Zheng said "don't blame yourself", Yin Wencai couldn't really help but blame himself. He carefully observed Shen Zheng's expression and said anxiously: "There are many people here, Lord Shen, can you go back to the yamen with me first?"

He was afraid that Shen Zheng would have a bad impression of Baiyun County and leave without saying a few words.

Shen Zheng smiled and nodded at him: "Very good, I was planning to go to the county government office to look for you."

Only then did Yin Wencai let out a sigh of relief and repeatedly invited Shen Zheng to get on the carriage.

Seeing that they were leaving, the county residents who had been noisy just now suddenly quieted down, and the tall man "Brother Pan" who had originally questioned the loudest was pushed out.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed hard, then he made a proper salute to Shen Zheng, and said apologetically: "Shen, Master Shen, I just spoke nonsense and offended you. I was very disrespectful. Please punish me with Master Yin. I accept the punishment..."

He didn't dare to look at Shen Zheng's expression. On one side was panic and guilt for having done something wrong, and on the other side was anger for being deceived.

——Five big fifty coins! Bought a fake painting! And made him speak rudely to the real Lord Shen!

He would not be satisfied until he chewed and ate the broken painting...

As soon as he finished speaking, the county residents behind him continued to speak: "Sir Shen...someone pretended to be you and deceived people in our county before, so, so we thought...we were wrong, don't be angry..."

"Master Shen, please punish us, but Master Yin is very kind. He always comes here every time he hears about you. Please don't be angry with him..."

Shen Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. She pointed at her chest and said, "I'm a very kind-hearted person. I won't get angry over such a small matter. It's noon now. You guys should go home and prepare lunch."

After saying that, she leaned onto the board and dived into the carriage.

In contrast, Xiao Yuan, who seemed "small-minded", scratched his head and laughed dryly: "Our adults are the best. This is just a misunderstanding. It's okay as long as we talk it out. It's nothing serious."

The constable who came with Yin Wencai nodded and agreed, "It's true that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other. But this time you have seen the real Lord Shen. Don't do this again in the future."

The county residents scratched their heads and giggled.

This time they really knew what Lord Shen looked like.

Beautiful, really beautiful, like an immortal.

......

Baiyun County Government Office.

The Baiyun County Yamen is very similar to the Tongan County Yamen before renovation. The missing and cracked blue bricks on the ground are minor issues, the main problem is that there is some peeling on the walls.

Yin Wencai also lived in the backyard of the county government office like Shen Zheng. He led Shen Zheng and the other person to the tea room in the backyard.

It is called a tea room, but it is actually a study room, where Yin Wencai usually works. The decoration in the tea room is very simple, but it is clean, and the books and documents on the bookshelf are neatly arranged.

There was also a small green plant on the table, with many round orange-red fruits on its branches.

"This is..." Shen Zheng sat down and gently tapped the red fruit with her finger, and asked Yin Wencai who was making tea: "Is it a small persimmon?"

After saying that, Shen Zheng swallowed her saliva.

It was past the persimmon season, but she didn't get to eat any.

Yin Wencai put down the teapot after hearing this, and moved the small basin towards Shen Zheng. He smiled and said, "This is a black persimmon. It looks like a persimmon, but tastes a little more bitter than a persimmon, but it can't be eaten."

"Huh?" Shen Zheng thought she had misheard, "You know the taste, but you can't eat it?"

How do you know what it tastes like if you don’t eat it?

Liang Fu laughed and touched the black persimmon lightly, saying, "It is precisely because I have eaten it that I know I can't eat it. The black persimmon is just called 'persimmon', but it is different from the persimmons we eat every day."

"What's the difference?" Shen Zheng gestured, "It's much smaller."

Liang Fu smiled and said, "It is poisonous. If people eat it, they will have diarrhea. Although it is only slightly poisonous, it tastes bad, so it is better not to eat it and just appreciate it."

"I see." Shen Zheng nodded in understanding, "It looks quite festive, it's good to put it there and watch it."

Seeing that she liked it, Yin Wencai said directly: "If Lord Shen likes it, I will order someone to put it on the carriage for you, and you can take it back to enjoy it."
