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

"Young master?"

The servant Ah Fu stood at the door, raised his sleeve to cover his nose, and whispered to the servant next to him: "A Gui, is that our young master?"

Ah Gui stiffened his neck, his eyes darted around, and he made up his mind: "You are talking nonsense, who else could it be but our Young Master! Young Master, Young Master, what's wrong with you? Here comes your servant!"

He had just taken two steps when his face suddenly turned grim and he laughed out loud, "Ugh—Afu, ugh—open, open the window! Ugh—"

After a flurry of activity, Agui sat in the yard holding Lan Qiyi, feeling hopeless and thinking that his clothes were ruined for the day.

Lan Qiyi exuded a foul odor, but he seemed completely unaware of it. He kept crying out, "Where's my mother? I'm dying, why hasn't my mother come yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Lan came rushing over, cursing, "What's wrong with this debt collector so early in the morning? Normally, doesn't he sleep until noon before going to the Imperial College..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly fell silent and stared at the person lying in Agui's arms - his hair was disheveled, his clothes were in disarray, and his whole body was covered in dirt.

At first, she didn't think that the beggar was her own son, and even wanted to ask Agui why he was holding a beggar and sitting in the yard.

Until the beggar said: "Mom, I'm going to die... Hurry, hurry and save me!"

Hearing this, her eyes widened even more.

Who else could this familiar voice be except the youngest son Lan Qiyi!

"My son!"

Madam Lan's legs felt weak, and she was supported by her maid as she walked forward. After taking only two steps, she suddenly twitched her nose and asked, "Goose droppings?"

She came from a farming family and had raised a lot of poultry, so she was very familiar with the smell of goose droppings.

So, her youngest son is... raising geese in the yard?

"what happened?"

She frowned and looked at Agui, then squatted down and gently wiped Lan Qiyi's cheek with a handkerchief.

"I don't know either." Agui stammered, "When I entered the young master's room this morning, he had become like this. Also, his bed was completely filthy. The goose droppings were at least half an inch thick..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lan frowned even more tightly.

Whose wife in Beijing is so mean as to dump goose droppings on people's beds?

Take goose droppings that are half an inch thick, for example. How many geese are needed to remove them?

Also, what are the guards in the mansion doing? Why do they let the other party come and go as they please?

Without time to think about it or blame, she reached out and took Lan Qiyi into her arms, lowered her head and asked, "Xiaoyi, talk to your mother quickly. Tell her, are you feeling unwell?"

Lan Qiyi grabbed her sleeve and pouted, "Mom, you all say there's a smell, but I can't smell it... Is my nose broken?"

My nose is broken. How can I smell fragrance and eat delicious food in the future?

The rest of his life is over!

It's all over!

Mrs. Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and asked, "Anything else?"

If you just can't smell anything, it is likely that your nose is temporarily malfunctioning because you have been smelling bad odors for a long time.

Lan Qiyi shifted his butt and shook his head slowly: "It seems to be gone..."

"That's good." Madam Lan whispered to comfort him, "It's okay, Xiaoyi, goose droppings are not poisonous. Go take a shower and change your clothes first, and leave the rest to me."

Upon hearing this, Agui suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and forced a smile: "Master, listen, Madam said it was goose droppings, not poisonous. You won't die. Don't worry, Afu has already gone to ask the palace doctor. Let's go take a shower and change clothes first..."

He vomited three times after hearing just one sentence.

Madam Lan's stomach twisted in her throat, but she still turned around and ordered sternly, "Keep your mouths shut. If what happened today gets out, you will be held accountable."

The maids and servants all nodded their heads and answered yes.

A quarter of an hour later, the court doctor rushed over and took Lan Qiyi's pulse while he was still in the bathtub.

After leaving the bathing room, he looked strange and said to Madam Lan, "The young master is fine. He must have been drugged last night and smelled goose droppings all night, so his sense of smell is a little off. He will feel better after taking some medicine."

Mrs. Lan's anxious heart was completely relieved.

After the court doctor left, Ah Fu and Ah Gui knelt before her, hesitating for a long time, shrinking their necks and saying, "Yesterday morning, the young master sent us to bribe the gangsters..."

......

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor sat in front of the imperial desk and laughed out loud after listening to the report from the Imperial Guards.

"Shen Qing's trick is too... dirty."

Not dirty in a metaphorical sense, but dirty in the literal sense.

How many people can bear to open their eyes and see goose droppings on the bed?

The Imperial Guards knelt in the hall and asked for punishment: "I have entered the General Yunhui's residence without permission. I am guilty. Your Majesty, please punish me."

"You know you're guilty, but you still dare to listen to Shen Qing?" The emperor leaned back in his chair and looked at him: "So, you and Shen Qing are guilty of the same crime, so you should be punished together."

The Imperial Guard's back stiffened slightly, and he gritted his teeth to plead for Shen Zheng: "Your Majesty, Lord Shen was just saying it casually. It's my stupidity that I took the joke seriously, that's why..."

The emperor uttered a "tsk" sound and interrupted him: "I really don't know what kind of magic potion Shen Qing gave you. Every time you enter the palace, you only know how to say good things about her."

As he spoke, he glanced at Eunuch Hong who was standing beside him with his head lowered.

"And you, don't think I don't know, you also accepted Shen Qing's benefits."

Eunuch Hong opened his eyes slightly, took small steps to the side of the Yulin Guards, and knelt down with a "click".

"Your Majesty, I have accepted a pair of glasses from Lord Shen, thinking that they will help me see better and allow me to serve you for a few more years. Otherwise, if my eyesight deteriorates, you might not want me anymore..."

The emperor chuckled, "Smooth-tongued, old sly fellow."

Eunuch Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Bet right.

He guessed that the emperor was not really angry, so he dared to use sweet words and act cunningly.

"Alright." The emperor waved his hands at the two of them, "Get up. Lan Youguang is not in the capital, and his youngest son is a bit lawless. It's better to discipline him, otherwise he will become a mess in the future. That's what Shen Qing is doing..."

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked the Imperial Guards, "How did the Yi family react?"

The Imperial Guard stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, Madam Lan has examined the servant and knows that Young Master Lan was at fault first, so she doesn't want to pursue the matter."

"He is quite clear-headed." The emperor stroked the arm of the chair and nodded slowly.

If the Yi family is determined to pursue the matter, then Lan Qiyi's previous actions will be made public, which will not be worth the loss.

After the Imperial Guards left, Eunuch Hong came forward fawningly, serving tea and water, massaging legs and rubbing shoulders, and praising "Your Majesty's wisdom."

The emperor felt that he was a little annoyed, so he waved him away and asked about the progress of the Huihe Dam.

Eunuch Hong replied, "Your Majesty, the Water Conservancy Commissioner has reported that the Huihe Dam will be completed in three days. Supervisor Wei has also secretly asked this old servant which official will be the inspector..."
