After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 75
But the old emperor also heard that Nazhi County of Dongjin County is very good at playing word games.

Every sentence is persecuting people, but every sentence makes people unable to pick out words to criticize.

The old emperor raised his beard when he heard this, and didn't want to ask Shen Jingcheng what he originally wanted to ask, so he waved his hand to make Shen Jingcheng back down.

Although what the magistrate did was not authentic, and the young Shen Jingcheng was also pitiful, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the magistrate did.

He was also born as a commoner. When he was a child, he was often oppressed by landlords and gentry. He didn't have a good impression of those gentry who owned a lot of land. Later, he rebelled and became the emperor. The imperial court does not pay for the expenses of collecting taxes, escorting taxes and food, etc., which is equivalent to those wealthy gentry paying for the imperial court's work.

In this way, it seems that Nazhi County is no different from his approach, so it is not good for him to pursue Nazhi County, or else he will slap himself in the face.

As for Shen Jingcheng, it is pitiful, but being able to become the food chief shows that he still has the capital. In this case, it is only natural to contribute to the court, and the meaning in his words is that he is a little dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law's father. The imperial court didn't have any objections, so let's just think that he also contributed to the imperial court, and also don't hold him accountable for changing places at will.

Seeing the old emperor waving his hands, Shen Jingcheng quickly got up from the ground and backed away. Seeing that Feng Dongliang was still lying there, he could only step on him without a trace.

Silly, if you don't retreat, who will be in the way?
At this moment, Feng Dongliang also seemed to have a sudden enlightenment. He was stepped on by Shen Jingcheng, and then backed away while lying on the ground.

This matter ended here, the old emperor no longer asked about Dongjin County's affairs, nor Shen Jingcheng's affairs, and asked the food chiefs of other prefectures and counties as usual.

The old emperor's deep voice of inquiry sounded from time to time in the main hall, and Shen Jingcheng sat quietly in the corner and listened.

For what happened just now, my heart is at peace.

In a common saying, the old emperor hates the rich, so the rich don't take advantage of the old emperor, they can only be used thoroughly.As for the incident in Dongjin County, he didn't intend to get a result from the old emperor at all, as long as the emperor knew that there was such a person there.

You know, the old emperor didn't like the rich, and he didn't like the corrupt officials who didn't do anything. It's better for the magistrate of Dongjin County not to commit crimes.

The time passed slowly amidst the old emperor's inquiries and the trembling answers of the food chiefs, and at the end of the day, Shen Jingcheng's legs were almost numb.

This time, he didn't rush out of the palace as much as last time, but was mixed among the many leaders, and walked out slowly with the flow.

Among the crowd, Feng Dongliang slowly came to Shen Jingcheng's side, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you, Chief Shen Liang."

Shen Jingcheng looked at the somewhat similar face to Feng Dongliang, and smiled slightly: "Just don't talk too much when you go back. My wife and I have finally stayed away from that family, and we don't want to cause trouble."

"Yes, I don't have to say much." Feng Dongliang replied in a low voice.

Even if Shen Jingcheng relieved him, it was impossible for him to say anything more.

"Thank you." Shen Jingcheng nodded to him with a smile.

After all, it's not a place to talk, Feng Dongliang also nodded, and stopped talking until he left the palace and parted ways with him.

Feng Dongliang looked at Shen Jingcheng's back, and then strode towards the inn where he was staying, where Feng Youzhi was still waiting for him.

The conversation between the two soon spread to the old emperor. Hearing the report, the old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hearing this, it seems that the kid really wanted to avoid his wife's family, and didn't have any objections to the court, so that's good, so he can feel relieved.

Otherwise, based on the kid's ability to be a food chief in one area, he can still be a food chief in another area, so the people below must pay attention to it, and don't have any other thoughts.

After Shen Jingcheng returned to the inn, Gu Jin had already packed his luggage, and the two of them settled the bill and set off on their way back.

As for Feng Dongliang, he went back to the inn and told Feng Youzhi about it.

Feng Youzhi was also sweating, and was so angry that he slapped his nephew on the shoulder.

It's really useless, he has already told him so much in advance, and there is still a mistake, but fortunately, the kid surnamed Shen is righteous, otherwise this little life is not known.

This is another favor owed.

Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin gave the location of the courtyard outside the mountain a very simple name, Shenjiacun, while the place in the mountain was called Shenjiaao.

After 20 days, when the two returned to Shenjia Village, the ears of grain in the field were drooping, and the air in the mountains and plains was filled with the smell of ripe crops.

Because there is no need to pay taxes this year, Shen Jingcheng has a lot of free time to study, and it's the autumn harvest season, when he starts to get busy.

After the crops were harvested, well-informed grain merchants came to Shenjia Village one after another. While the grain was gradually being sold, Gu Jin got a surprise.

When the grain merchant was negotiating the price with Shen Jingcheng, he saw the bath powder Shen Jingcheng used when washing his hands in the yard, and asked in surprise. After learning how to use it, he bought a few boxes and took it home. The merchant placed an order for bath powder with him.

Gu Jin saw that the bath powder had a market, so he stopped thinking about asking Song Qingming to sell it on consignment. After all, it is not difficult to make this thing, and Song Qingming sells the fragrance everywhere. It costs much less to transport it thousands of miles away.

The days passed so peacefully, Gu Jin looked at the money from selling grain in his hand, his eyes were full of light.

Silver is a person's confidence.These years, she and Shen Jingcheng seem to have earned a lot of money, but they always have no money in their hands, which makes her feel uneasy and always flustered. Looking at the money now, she instantly feels a lot more at ease .

The crops here were all harvested and only the winter wheat was left, so Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin went to Shimu Village to check the harvest there.

However, when he got there, Gu Jin was taken aback. Zhou Quan's head was wrapped like a dumpling, and even his eyes were swollen.

"What's the matter?" Shen Jingcheng strode forward to check Zhou Quan's head.

Zhou Quan subconsciously glanced at Gu Jin, Gu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague guess.

"Just tell the truth," Gu Jin said.

"It's like this." Zhou Quan slowly talked about what happened after the two left.

First, Gu Linger came to the door to live in, and the two sent them away. Then the news came that Shen Jingcheng was no longer the food chief, and Yang Erniu and Gu Dani came to the door to show off their power and wanted to live in. The two of them hadn't agreed yet, Yang Erniu was angry He made a move and was beaten back by Zhou Quan.

Then Yang Erniu took Gu Dani to the door to find faults, until a few days ago Yang Erniu fell out with Gu Changping for some reason, and the Gu family no longer lent him cattle and plows. After being stopped by Zhouquan, Yang Erniu took advantage of Zhouquan's inattention and swung a stick on his head. Zhouquan had his back to Yang Erniu and was unguarded, so he was beaten like this.

Gu Jin frowned when he heard this, and anger kept pouring out of his heart.
