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

Shen Zheng had already told the doorman that Shen Xingjian would come.

As soon as he got out of the car, the doorman came to greet him.

"Lord Shen is here, please follow me!"

The reins in the driver's hands were also taken over by another doorman. The driver and the horse had a special place to rest, with plenty of tea, fodder, and meals at mealtimes.

Shen Xingjian's hands were full of snacks. The doorman reached out to take them, but he dodged them sideways. "No problem, I'll take them."

"Hey, hey." The doorman led him two steps toward the stairs and suddenly stopped. "Master Shen, your friend, won't you dismount?"

What's the matter with a person sitting still on the horse?

Do you want people to be horse stools? !

But there is no such rule in his Shen Mansion! The master said that no matter what, you can't kneel on the ground, as it affects the appearance of the mansion.

"Friends?"

Shen Xingjian came alone, so he didn't know who the doorman was talking about. He could only look back in the direction the doorman was looking.

The man on the horse was looking down at himself.

He knew the other person, but only knew him as an acquaintance - he only knew his name because of the other person's wealth and status.

"Your humble servant greets General Lin." It was inconvenient to carry the food box, so he bowed.

Lin Fanyun nodded slightly and dismounted.

The doorman looked at Shen Xingjian, then at Lin Fanyun, and finally realized something was wrong, and hurried over.

"I greet General Lin. I didn't know you were coming. I hope you'll forgive me."

But the adults didn’t say that this person would come... Isn’t this just a coincidence?

Lin Fanyun hummed, and handed the reins to the doorman, who took them and asked carefully, "General, are you here to look for my lord? Please follow me and sit in the outer hall for a moment. I will go and pass the message."

This is the rule. No matter how high or low your official rank is, as long as you "come rashly", you must wait for the message.

Shen Xingjian and Lin Fanyun were led into the mansion by the doorman.

Shen Xingjian went to Ziyiju, and Lin Fanyun went to the outer hall. They met for a while. No one spoke at first until Lin Fanyun broke the silence.

"Master Shen, are you here to discuss Ministry of Revenue business with Master Shen?"

Before Shen Xingjian could speak, he chuckled again, "You and Lord Shen both have the surname Shen, and you're both from the capital. If I didn't know, I'd think you were brother and sister."

The doorman walked in front, thinking that there were too many families with the surname Shen in the capital, and whether they were siblings or not was just a matter of fate at most.

Shen Xingjian wasn't good at talking to people, so he just shook his head and said, "General...you're joking."

As soon as one topic was finished, Lin Fanyun brought up another one.

"I've heard before that Lord Shen was sent to Tong'an County by the Ministry of Revenue, and that he and Little Lord Shen have a close personal relationship. Seeing him today, I can see that it's indeed true."

This time, he deliberately used "Lord Shen" and "Little Lord Shen" to distinguish Shen Xingjian and Shen Zheng.

In official circles, Shen Xingjian has met many talkative people.

Some people, seeing that he is not good at talking, stop talking on their own, but some people feel that he is not giving them face and become more aggressive in their words.

He didn't know which type Lin Fanyun was, so he could only secretly speed up his pace.

After racking his brains for a while, he finally composed his words: "Ms. Shen is a very kind person. I would like to...befriend her."

Lin Fanyun paused when he heard that, but Shen Xingjian continued walking with his head down until he passed the Chuihua Gate, turned a corner, and disappeared.

The doorman turned around and led him into the outer hall.

......

Shen Xingjian's arrival made the already bustling Ziyiju even more chaotic.

Fang Ziyan insisted on giving him his hammer, saying "Brother Xingjian", "I can't beat them", and "Please", making it impossible for him to refuse.

As the Chui Wan team grew, everyone was divided into three venues.

A group with good accuracy, such as Pei Zhaoqi and Yu Nanshu.

A group with poor accuracy, such as Feng Qianzhi and Cui Jinyin.

There are also those who are not accurate, and they also form a group.

As the team leader, Fang Ziyan regretted bringing Shen Xingjian into the game, which further lowered the strength of his team.

Ugh--

He lowered his head and sighed.

It is easy to invite gods, but difficult to send them away.

Everyone was having fun playing mahjong, and the venue was moving further in. Cui Jinyin opened her arms and shouted her first words of the day: "Don't go into the yard anymore. If you're not careful, you'll break the jar that keeps the ugly thing."

Everyone stopped moving.

Just when Cui Jinyin was regretting her "meddling in other people's business", she received praise from Yu Nanshu.

"I didn't expect... our Miss Cui would also be so meticulous one day."

......

On the way to the outer hall, Shen Zheng kept wondering why Lin Fanyun came.

Her only recent interaction with Lin Fanyun was with the young soldier guarding the city gate.

Could it be...

Did something happen to that young soldier?

She quickened her pace and arrived at the outer hall in half a minute. Lin Fanyun was sitting inside drinking tea.

Seeing her coming, he stood up and said, "I hope Lord Shen will forgive me for coming here so rashly."

Shen Zheng had been observing his expression. He was neither sad nor happy, angry nor anxious. It should be... not a big deal.

But I still have to say: "I am late, and the matter that requires the general to come here in person must be very important. Please follow me to the main hall to discuss it in detail."

It would be somewhat impolite to meet guests in the outer hall.

The two moved to the main hall, and as soon as they sat down, Lin Fanyun explained the purpose of their visit.

"As Lord Shen expected, Dong Jiao returned home today for personal reasons, and there were guests at home."

Dong Jiao was the young soldier who revealed Jiadebo's actions to Shen Zheng at the city gate that night.

Shen Zheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this shouldn't happen.

Gadbert was clearly drinking tea in the Ministry of Justice, so how could he have the brains to trace the source?

"Is there anything wrong with Dong Jiaoren?" she asked.

"Nothing. He didn't reveal what happened that night." Lin Fanyun frowned slightly. "But the person who went to look for Dong Jiao wasn't one of Jiadebo's men. He just asked a few questions and left. From what he said, it seemed that he was certain that the person who caught the frog a day before you was Jiadebo."

Shen Zheng's brows also frowned.

There is too little useful information.

The other party didn't seem to be there to silence me, but rather to seek verification.

Could it be... that he is Luo Bizhi's man?

But that doesn't make sense either.

How did Luo Bizhi know about Dong Jiao? And why did he only send someone to question him at his home? This is not the style of the Ministry of Justice.

Shen Zheng suddenly remembered what Luo Bizhi said today.

——"The assassination case involves a wider range of people."

so......

Could the other party be the "third party" that has been hiding behind the scenes?

How did it bother him if Gadbert caught frogs?

The unknown was like a torn net, and the information she knew so far was no way to repair it. The only possible explanation was that the other party and Gadber seemed to be connected to the assassination?

Seeing her frown, Lin Fanyun continued, "My visit to your house was actually my grandfather's idea."

"General Lin?"

What happened to General Lin? Why is he still involved...

Shen Zheng's mind was a mess, and she signaled Lin Fanyun to speak quickly.
