Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Someone shouted back:

"Of course I believe it. Have you forgotten that there is a mountain behind our academy?

We chose this place for the academy because the terrain here is relatively high, so don't worry!"

But some people with bad intentions, for unknown reasons, kept spreading the news in the city.

This county magistrate is a bad guy. He wants to drown everyone so that he can take over their land and houses.

Bai Wanwan had just fallen asleep when Zhiwei woke her up and said, "Miss, many people outside are saying that we have bad intentions and want to drown them on purpose."

Bai Wanwan sneered and said, "Catch all these people. I will interrogate them thoroughly tomorrow."

The next day, more than thirty people were arrested.

Bai Wanwan glanced at them calmly and said, "How did you know I wanted to drown everyone? Were you the ones who spread this news?"

"Yes, we released them. You, the black-hearted county magistrate, just wanted to drown all of us."

Bai Wanwan looked at them with a half-smile and said, "What good would it do me if all the people in Qingshui County were drowned?"

"You can occupy our land and our house..."

Bai Wanwan sneered, "Aren't you from Qingshui County?"

"Although I am not from Qingshui County, my ancestral home is in Qingshui County. You just want to occupy our land and house." The man shouted.

The people of Qingshui County all laughed:

"Do you know that all the land and houses in Qingshui County belong to the county magistrate?

When the land in Qingshui County was flooded, we were afraid to farm, fearing that all our efforts would be in vain, so the county magistrate bought these lands.

The man continued to shout: "What about those houses?"

The common people laughed even harder: "These houses belong to the county magistrate. We work for him every month, and he lets us live there for free. What's the problem with that?"

The man was stunned. "You...you people in Qingshui County are really weird. You actually don't have anything."

Bai Wanwan looked at them and said, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You just want to cause a stir in Qingshui County. Which county are you from?"

In fact, she knew it in her heart that it must be from Qingfeng County. Those people coughed and said:

“We didn’t know this was the case, so we were just talking nonsense.

Who knew Qingshui County was really as poor as Qingshui itself?

The people were not convinced: "Bah! Stop talking nonsense! Which eye of yours has seen that our Qingshui County is poor? At least we in Qingshui County can have enough food to eat now."

"Isn't that right? This person is deliberately destroying the reputation of our county magistrate and trying to alienate us from him. We must not let them go."

Bai Wanwan said calmly, "Give them all 20 lashes of the cane and expel them from Qingshui County."

"You...how could you do this? Why did you hit us? We were just telling the truth."

Bai Wanwan said coldly, "In Qingshui County, I have the final say. Beat them up and throw them out."

The rain has been getting heavier these days, and several surrounding counties have been washed away by mountain torrents.

Bai Wanru came in from outside, lifting the curtain, her face full of anxiety:

"Wanwan, I just heard that several nearby counties have been flooded!

Many people want to come to Qingshui County now, so you should prepare early."

Bai Wanwan sneered and said:

“Qingshui County isn’t a place where they can come and do whatever they want.

I have already sent heavy troops to guard Qingshui County. If they dare to force their way in, they will never be able to get in."

Bai Wanru sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then snorted coldly:

"These people are just opportunists! They used to ignore you and ignored you, but now that they know you're safe, they're thinking of coming here.

By the way, my master also asked me to tell you that he wants to move his family to Qingshui County."

She paused, her tone full of disdain:

"I rejected him directly! There's nothing much to talk about with him anymore. He only has that favorite concubine in his heart and doesn't take me seriously at all.

This time it was even worse. His son owed a huge debt in the gambling house, more than one million taels!

Now, he's asking me to pay off the debt. Why should I fill this hole for his son?"

The grievance and anger in these words could not be hidden, and it was obvious that they had been suppressed for a long time.

Bai Wanwan put down the pen in his hand, looked at her and said:

"Don't be angry, just stay here with me.

With me here, no one can make you feel wronged, and no one dares to force you to do something you don’t want to do.”

Bai Wanru's eyes reddened slightly after hearing this, and she nodded quickly:

"I know, thank you so much for your protection this time, cousin.

Without you, I don’t know what I would do.

But I want to bring the old lady here. She doesn’t have a good life at home, and if I bring her here, she can enjoy a few days of peace and quiet.”

Bai Wanru was really kind-hearted. She was worried that the old lady would be bullied at home, so she brought her along this time.

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "Is the old lady here too? Then let her in! I can check her pulse."

Two people helped the old lady in. Bai Wanwan nodded to the old lady and said, "Old lady, are you feeling better?"

The old lady nodded, looked at her and said, "Much better! Thank you, little girl. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."

Bai Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Let me check your pulse. We are all family, so there is no need to overthink it."

She felt his pulse and said, "Just take care of your body. If you have any ginseng, give it to the old man."

"Ah? Ginseng? I'm afraid we don't have that..."

The old lady looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "I do have some here. I used to hide a lot of things, and I brought them all this time."

She waved her hand and saw several little girls coming over carrying a few boxes.

The old lady smiled and said:

"This box is my thank you gift to you, you must accept it, otherwise I will be very upset.

And these boxes are for my daughter-in-law. My son is unfilial, so I won't leave him anything."

Bai Wanru quickly waved her hands and said, "Mom, what are you doing? I'm not short of money."

"This is a small token of my appreciation. It's a pity that you didn't give me a grandson. I leave all this to you.

If my son treats you badly in the future, you should divorce him and find another one.” The old lady said to Bai Wanru with a face full of pity.

Bai Wanru wiped away her tears and said, "I plan to live in Qingshui County from now on. The environment here is better and suitable for you to maintain your health. You can enjoy your remaining years here."

Bai Wanwan waved her hand and saw Zhiwei take out a few ginsengs.
