As soon as Dai Qingyun entered the room, he heard a few maids whispering in the yard, chatting vigorously.

"Miss, you are back." Xiangxiu came out to greet her, and took a few glances at the chatting maidservants.

"What's the matter, what are they talking about?" Dai Qingyun asked curiously.

Xi'er also had a gossip face.

Xiangxiu looked around and said softly, "The new county magistrate is here today. I heard that when he went to the county government, a beggar blocked the way. He ordered someone to beat him to death..."

"What?" Dai Qingyun and Xi'er exclaimed.

"This happened not long after you went out, and now it has spread in the county..." Xiangxiu sighed.

"Poor that beggar just passing by..."

Dai Qingyun frowned, it seemed that the new county magistrate was not easy to get along with.

It's a pity that magistrate Liu can't stay for a few days.

Just wait for him to hand over to the new county magistrate, and then he will leave Feng County!

Thinking of this, Dai Qingyun was a little worried about whether there would be any changes in Li Changhe's case.

He also thought that Ouyang Jue would personally participate in this matter, so there should be no problem.

"I see. No matter it's true or not, you tell them to stop talking. The county magistrate who will be sealed off for the next three years may have a bad temper."

Dai Qingyun said, "If he knows about these gossip, I'm afraid my life will be lost."

Xiangxiu, who has been promoted to be a maid, said quickly, "Yes, Miss."

Later, Daichang Daisheng came back.

"How? Can you find out clearly?" Dai Qingyun asked.

"I got it clear." The two of Dai Chang looked at each other.

The expressions of both of them are not very good.

"The boys who came with the new county magistrate are all greedy for money. In less than half an hour, we've pretty much got him talking."

"The new county magistrate is Wei Shu. He has been an official for many years, but he is still a county magistrate, because he is greedy for money, lustful, and acts casually, let alone judge and investigate cases..."

"The people in the previous counties all complained about him, let him down first and we seal the county, I'm afraid there will be no good life in the future..."

After Dai Chang finished speaking, his face was disheveled, and he said that the county magistrate is the official of his parents. How can the people have a good life with his behavior?
Dai Qingyun frowned and said, "It seems that this person is difficult to deal with. Since he is greedy for money and lust, he said that he has three fires in office, so his first fire may be burned on the heads of us merchants."

"Then what should we do, miss, our family property is not bad, what if he wants to set his mind on us?" Dai Sheng asked anxiously.

Dai Qingyun sat on the chair, fiddling with the tea bowl with his right hand.

"It's okay, just watch first."

If this person really misbehaved, committed crimes, and put his ideas on her head, then she is not a vegetarian.

In the past few days since magistrate Liu handed over, many people in the county have become anxious, especially the merchants.

How many of those who can do business are not human beings?
People like Wei Shu are obviously here to make money.

If they don't obey, the county magistrate has a hundred ways to stop the shop from opening.

It's just that Wei Shu didn't express his position after all, so they can only live with their hearts in this way.

I just hope that the new county magistrate will not be a greedy and lustful person like the rumors.

"It's really annoying. Your Uncle Zheng hasn't had an appointment with anyone from the county government these days, and you don't know if the rumors are true or not." Zhao Baiyu closed the account book and said to Dai Qingyun in a disturbed manner.

Dai Qingyun shrugged, "I'll know if it's true or not in a few days."

If he is really greedy for money, within five days, someone will take the initiative to send gold, silver and jewelry to his door.

Now everyone in Feng County is staring at the county government. If Wei Shu really took the things, wouldn't it be confirmed?
Zhao Baiyu was a little helpless, waving the round fan with one hand, "The weather is getting hot all of a sudden, I don't think we want us to have a good life."

Dai Qingyun raised his eyebrows, Zhao Baiyu's words were pun intended.

"Miss, the son who wanted to visit you earlier is waiting outside again..." Xi'er said speechlessly.

Dai Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, then recalled that someone wanted to visit her a few days ago.

"...This man is really persistent." The corner of Dai Qingyun's mouth twitched.

"Who is it, why don't you go and see?" Zhao Baiyu said.

"In this weather, I really don't want to go out." Dai Qingyun looked at the sun outside the lobby, with some resistance.

Yan Ruyu put ice stoves upstairs and downstairs, which is considered cool, so why go out to seek guilt.

"Forget it, it's not good to keep him waiting in the sun."

After Dai Qingyun finished speaking, he took the parasol and went out.

A carriage was parked at the door of Yan Ruyu, and a young man who looked like a white-faced scholar stood beside him.

The servant next to him was persuading him, "My lord, it's so hot, if something happens to you, Madam won't let me go."

"I think this woman's personality is too bad. You have waited for her so long in a low voice, and you didn't even miss her face!"

"Young master, let's go back!"

"Okay, you shut up." The young man said with a frown.

"Tsk, you said that I have a bad personality. Is it because I asked your young master to wait for me here?"

Dai Qingyun stood at the door, holding an umbrella, looking at them with displeasure.

What she hates the most is being tagged at random.

"I've already sent someone a message that you can ask shopkeeper Hu about the catwalk. Why, I'm so kind, and I'm still a sinner?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be angry on behalf of the girl, Wei has no such intention." Wei Ling said apologetically.

"Xiao Jin, hurry up and apologize to Miss Dai."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Dai, I broke my promise for a while, my son really didn't mean it, I was talking nonsense, please forgive me." Xiao Jin said and knelt.

"No, I can't bear it!" Dai Qingyun frowned, stopped his movements, and said, "If you just want to know about the show, you can just ask shopkeeper Hu."

After finishing speaking, Dai Qingyun turned and left.

"Wait a minute on behalf of the girl!" Wei Ling shouted hastily, "I'm being rude, it's not just about catwalks..."

Dai Qingyun turned around, "Do you want to ask the wine shop or Yan Ruyu? Sorry, I won't talk about these things."

Although this man looks fair and clean, why is he so greedy?

She taught everyone about catwalks for free. She was afraid of making people jealous, and even more worried that bad things would happen.

This is something she doesn't want to see.

Wei Ling blushed, and explained, "No, it's the girl." He looked around again, and all the guests coming in and out were female guests.

"Why don't you come with me to Moon Tower, I sincerely invite you."

Dai Qingyun wanted to refuse at first, but felt that this person was quite real, so he agreed.

In the box of Wangyue Tower, Wei Ling smiled and poured herbal tea for Dai Qingyun, "Miss Dai, drink some herbal tea first."

Dai Qingyun glanced at the tea on the table and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Although I'm curious about the catwalk, I've already learned about it. I came to you this time to ask about the ice cellar." Wei Ling said with a smile, "Before the emperor allowed all states and counties to build ice cellars. It’s not high, but there is some money in the family, and my parents are worried that my grandparents are getting old and the summer will be unbearable, so they find someone to build an ice cellar.”

"It's just that this ice cellar is easy to build, but it's hard to figure out how to store ice."

"That's why Wei came here this time, and asked Miss Dai to ask about the ice cellar."

After Wei Ling finished speaking, he looked at Dai Qingyun with some embarrassment.

"This matter is really rude. If you think it's not right, I can pay for it."

Dai Qingyun took a deep breath and said with a smile, "How do you know that the ice cellar is related to me?"

Dai's family did not say that it was her idea, and the ice cellar matter was a bit big after all, and people from other places came to inquire about it vaguely.

People outside only thought it was the old man's idea.

What's more, the matter of the emperor's reward to the Dai family just aroused a lot of discussion and then dispersed.

After all, their family has never received any rewards such as being promoted to rank.

Then there is the method of storing ice in the ice cellar, she clearly remembers that the emperor promulgated it together, right?

What does the surname Wei in front of you mean?
Wei Ling hurriedly said, "Well, I asked people to ask around in the county, and that's why..."

"Miss Dai, I was also impatient for a while. My family is a merchant in Huazhou. I was on a study tour. I received a letter from my mother a few days ago. The sheriff of Huazhou did not announce the method of storing ice at all. ..."

Dai Qingyun understood that the emperor was responsible for notifying the states, and then the county guards of each state would announce it downwards. Unexpectedly, the county guards of Huazhou would openly embezzle the method of ice storage.

I'm afraid I want to make a fortune out of it!

After all, the ancient information is blocked, and the ice cellar will be built and stored until next year.

When the news about the ice cellars in various states spread and the people of Huazhou knew about it, it would be another summer.

So even if he earns next year's money, it will be enough for him to spend his whole life.

Dai Qingyun took a sip of herbal tea and said, "How can I believe what you say?"

After all, he is a stranger, so you can't trust him just because of his one-sided words.

Wei Ling hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to Dai Qingyun, "This is a letter written by my mother, and this is my private seal, from the Wei family in Huazhou."

Dai Qingyun frowned, glanced at the private seal, "Is your family famous? Show me what to do with the private seal."

Wei Ling was at a loss for words, and silently put away the private seal.

Indeed, although the Wei family has a reputation in Huazhou, there is still a state in the middle of Huaiyang Prefecture, so it is normal for Miss Dai to not know.

Dai Qingyun quickly read through the letter, feeling confident.

"By the way, Miss Dai, I think you look familiar?" Wei Ling said suddenly.

"This is the first time I've seen you." Dai Qingyun glanced at him.

She would not narcissistically think that Wei Ling was going to trick her with sweet words, "You must have admitted your mistake."

Wei Ling shook his head and said with a smile, "I should have seen it before, in Lu County."

"It's just that when you were with your parents in Lu County, you were wearing too thick clothes. It took me a long time to recognize you."

Dai Qingyun was a little wary, "How do you know that I have been to Lu County?"

"Girl Dai, don't be nervous. Do you still remember that someone gave you a bag of roasted venison?"

After Wei Ling confirmed it, he relaxed instead and looked at Dai Qingyun with a smile.

Dai Qingyun thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "So you are the noble son from Huazhou. At that time, I only saw your back, so I didn't recognize it."

"But I still have to thank you. Although the venison is delicious, the price is not cheap. Why did you give it to us for no reason?"

Wei Ling coughed awkwardly. When he saw the delicious food on behalf of the girl, he lost his composure and asked someone to give them a pack of venison.

But at this moment, he can't say to his face that he has an appetite after seeing her eat!
