Suddenly, the post station sounded the sound of running water gongs.

Shen Bai, who was on duty, immediately rushed to the backyard like a conditioned reflex, where the relief food was placed.

There is a raging fire in the eyes!

The guards were organizing people to put out the fire, and Shen Nantian hurried over.

"What's going on? Why did it catch fire?"

"Quick! Call everyone to put out the fire!"

Shen Bai was stunned for only a moment, and immediately threw himself into the ranks of fighting the fire. The food and grass were all flammable, even if he saved the fire all night, it would be of no avail.

The black smoke slowly rises with the morning light.

The Shen family's father and son stood in the backyard, Shen Nantian's face was unusually dignified, with deep wrinkles visible to the naked eye between his brows.

"..."

"Investigate! Give me a thorough investigation! If you can't find out today, no one can leave!"

Shen Nantian explained a few words to Shen Bai, and immediately called all the staff to the front yard.

Yinliang had nothing to do in Shen Nan's Tianfang, and the food was placed in the hands of the soldiers in the backyard, so why did something go wrong?
"Where was the watchman last night?"

Shen Nantian was dressed in armor, and he was not angry, but now because of the food problem, he was even more angry, which made people tremble.

Four soldiers stood up and knelt down without saying anything.

Noisy begging for mercy sounded, "General, General, it's really not me!"

Shen Nantian pulled out his saber from his waist and pointed at all the soldiers present.

"Whoever provides information will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. If I find out by myself, then don't let me keep people under my command."

The knife was just to scare the attacker, so he turned and went back to the backyard.

"How's it going?"

Shen Bai listened to Shen Nantian, and said softly: "Father, don't panic, I have a way to find out."

"Really? According to His Majesty's orders, this batch of food must arrive at the disaster area in three days. If there is a real delay, you and I may have to apologize."

Shen Bai gave Shen Nantian a look, signaling him not to worry, and to keep quiet.

On the second day of staying at the station, before the Shen family father and son responded, one of them couldn't sit still.

After a night of fire.

In the early morning of the second day when they stayed at the inn, the Shen family and his son hadn't responded to the fire last night, and one of them couldn't sit still.

Shen Nantian happened to be discussing things with Shen Bai in the room, knocked on the door and entered a soldier, cupped his hands and said: "General, the fire has been extinguished, but the food..."

Shen Bai glanced at his father, and said, "What happened to the food?"

"...the food is not already."

Shen Bai understood instantly, glanced at the half-kneeling soldier, and said: "The food is fine, order to go down and get ready to go."

No matter how much the soldier hid his expression, he couldn't help but have a burst of doubt. The food was burnt clean last night, so how could it be all right.

He didn't dare to ask, and immediately stood up to respond.

In the backyard of the post station, sacks of food came out of nowhere, and soldiers drove from the post station on horseback.

After Shen Nantian led the soldiers ahead and Shen Bai rode behind the horse, he finally arrived at the Yuzhou Station on the afternoon of the third day.

The soldiers came forward to report whether they should send someone to inform the local officials, but Shen Bai waved his hand, and two people appeared and detained the soldier who reported the letter.

Shen Bai dismounted calmly, walked over with his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, what are you doing, my lord? What did I do wrong?"

"Don't tell me? Keeping you in Yuzhou is to give you a chance to reform. Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

Unexpectedly, the soldier was silent for a while, and then he opened his mouth to defend: "My lord, what did I do? I really didn't do anything, and I didn't burn the food. My lord clearly understood that I was not the only one who was on duty that day."

Shen Bai smiled contemptuously and said, "How do you know I'm talking about disaster relief food? I clearly said that there is no problem with the food, how can you be sure that there must be something wrong with the food? From the post station to Yuzhou, you seem to be very concerned about the disaster relief food?"

Suddenly he said sharply, "Say! Who sent you here!"

The soldier kneeling on the ground looked up at Shen Bai.

"Close his mouth!"

It's a pity that Shen Bai was a step late, the soldier bit the thing in his mouth and died, his body went limp.

When Shen Nantian came out of the post station, he happened to see Shen Bai walking in.

"How about it?"

"Without asking anything, he committed suicide. I checked and found that this person was recruited from the prefecture. There is no one in the family anymore. I just don't know who ordered him."

Shen Bai beckoned and carried the corpse over. Shen Nantian lifted the curtain and the corpse's left hand hung down weakly. He picked up his hand and looked left and right. The tattoo marks that could not be seen on the tiger's mouth, although they had been washed off , but you can probably still see the blurry shape.

Shen Nantian looked back at Shen Bai, and said, "Let's deal with it."

Shen Bai didn't ignore his father's eyes, he asked suspiciously: "Father, did you find anything? Is there something wrong with this hand?"

Shen Nantian shook his head: "The traces are too vague, nothing can be seen, as long as you and I know it well, be careful in the future."

"Has the food arrived yet?"

Shen Bai nodded. Fortunately, he followed his sister's suggestion that day and went to Yuzhou in two groups. The real food had quietly left early that night.

Then the batch that Shen's father and son escorted was not grain at all. There was only a layer of grain in the bag, and the inside was full of straw and sand.That's how the catastrophe was avoided.

Otherwise, the food for this trip would be destroyed, and the Shen family would ransack the house and ask for execution.

Shen Bai showed a gratified smile, he never thought that his younger sister could have such resourcefulness, but it's a pity that she told him not to tell his father, otherwise he really wanted to make him proud.

Seeing that the father and son of the Shen family had set off for almost four days, Mrs. Shen watched in front of the door every day, looking forward to the figure of the two returning.

Shen Ange came out to persuade her: "Mother, Daddy should be back soon. I heard from Sister that the disaster situation has been brought under control, and the number of refugees in the city has decreased a lot in the past few days."

"Is what the good girl said true?"

"When did your daughter lie to you?"

On the sixth day after the Shen family's father and son left, the Shen residence finally received good news.

The imperial decree bestowed by the palace arrived at the Shen family, along with the dusty Shen family father and son.

Just in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, the Shen family knelt up and down to receive the order. The emperor commended the Shen family and his son for their contribution to disaster relief, and even Shen Ange received a reward. She asked Shen Bai to bring the medicine bag and contribute to the prevention of the epidemic. It is of great use.

Greatly reducing the death toll of the local people, Shen Nantian informed the emperor of the contributors to this strategy.

The father-in-law who delivered the decree looked at Shen Nantian with a happy smile.

"General Shen please hurry up, the Shen family is good at teaching their children, the second girl Shen is now the county head, the Shen family can be said to be the No. 1 in Changyuan."

"County Shen, you can also invite me. Among the women in Changyuan, you are now called the number one talented woman, but no one dares to be called the second."

Shen Nantian made room for Shen Ange and motioned her to come forward.

"Thank you, father-in-law, it is the duty of ministers and daughters to share the worries of the emperor."

Shen's mother came forward at this time, took out a piece of silver taels from her sleeve, smiled and stuffed it into the hand of the father-in-law who came to announce the decree.

"I troubled my father-in-law to come here twice, thank you for your hard work."

Today, all four members of the Shen family received awards, and Shen Ange was even named county head, and was rewarded with gold and silver jewelry. Shen's mother was overjoyed.

The elder brother and elder sister are even more happy for her. With the title and body, the younger sister will have an identity. Now that they are not around, no one will bully her.

In the backyard of the Shen residence, Gu Qing was leaning on the ginkgo tree, looking at the bustling front yard.

He was not mistaken, it seemed that staying in the Shen family was indeed the best choice.

"Don't let me down..."

Only a few days after Shen Ange was confiscated, another imperial decree came from the palace. Two days later, the empress held a winter banquet. Apart from the sons of princes and princes, all the daughters of officials and boudoirs in Changyuan City were invited.

This disturbed Shen Ange's mind. It was called the Winter Banquet, but it was actually to choose wives and concubines for the emperor's relatives, and they would be able to give marriages in the spring. Shen Ange had just received the county head, so it was naturally the most important thing to be invited.

I can't live up to the recommendation votes of the babies, and I will be responsible for you. Happy Children's Day, babies.
