Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 39 He doesn’t want her to be fooled
  Jiang Xihe walked into the city and was happy to see that the water in the west of the city had receded. His eyes were warm. It seemed that Yang Guangkun and the others had succeeded.

She had come up with this idea in the first place. Although she was alone, she could still do many things, and Jiang Xihe felt faintly proud.

Two streets away from home, Jiang Xihe found that people had returned to their homes one after another. People who had been lightly affected by the disaster had lit stoves, and smoke was rising, which made people feel warm.

Just as he turned into the alley, Jiang Xihe saw Liu Tang appearing at the door of his house, throwing debris at the door.

"Liu Tang!"

When Liu Tang saw Jiang Xihe, tears welled up in his eyes, "Where have you gone? I haven't seen you since this morning. I was scared to death."

Jiang Xihe felt sad, there was probably only one person left in the world who cared about her.

Liu Tang looked Jiang Xihe up and down. Her clothes, skirts, and embroidered shoes were all covered in mud. There was also sticky mud on her face and hair. "What's wrong with you?"

"I'll tell you more about it later. I have to go home and take a shower now. How are you doing at home?"

Liu Tang put aside his doubts and said, "Fortunately, when I left yesterday, I put everything on a high place. Except for the stove being unusable, everything else was fine."

Jiang Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. You and Aunt Zhao clean up first, and I'll go home and take a look."

"I went to see you. Your house is in the same situation as mine. We can't stay here tonight. You can come to my house."

Jiang Xihe nodded.

"Your belongings are still with me." Liu Tang pointed to the fifty-five taels of silver.

"It's safer to leave it here than mine." Jiang Xihe thought that after this rain, she would have to work hard to make money again. "When you left the Yamen, was it like this over there?"

Liu Tang curled his lips, "I don't know where the county magistrate went. He has been missing for the past two days, but Brother Han and the others are taking care of everyone. I think everyone is quite satisfied. After Yuqing finished their meal in the afternoon, they all went home one after another. ."

I don't know how Pei Zhizhao will face the people when he comes back. Ping'an County is flooded and the county magistrate is not around. This situation is really troublesome.

"Master Pei has returned. With him in charge of the overall situation, I believe we will be fine." Jiang Xihe said softly, feeling extremely at ease.

Liu Tang looked at Jiang Xihe and looked her up and down, "How did you know that Master Pei is back?"

Jiang Xihe couldn't explain to her, how could it be said that Pei Zhizhao was caught by the robbers, and she pretended to be his wife to redeem him?
  Can't say, can't say, can't explain at all.

"I came back from the county government and saw it." Jiang Xihe replied casually, feeling a little sorry for Liu Tang, so he quickly changed the subject, "How is the situation at Yang Guangkun's side?"

Liu Tang gave a thumbs up happily, "You and Brother Han are so good. How did you come up with this method? Look, the water has receded now."

Jiang Xihe was very happy, "That's good, that's good."

"By the way, thanks to Xiangtai House this time, breakfast and lunch were all provided by the Xie family. We all praised it. After this kind act, the Xie family's business will definitely be good in the future." Liu Tang excitedly told Jiang Xihe report.

Jiang Xihe knew that this small move would help the Xie family. No matter what Mr. Xie's attitude was towards her, Xie Qiyuan was still her friend.

When Jiang Xihe returned home, the situation was exactly as Liu Tang said. There was no problem if the pots and pans were placed high, but the kitchen was filled with sewage and the bedroom could not be used.

Jiang Xihe is upset, what will he do next? Just repairing the house costs a lot of money.

Thinking about those fifty-five families, Jiang Xihe had a headache. An hour later, Jiang Xihe had packed up and her home could no longer be lived in. She planned to go to Liu Tang's house to spend the night and make plans tomorrow.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Xie Qiyuan hurriedly turned into the alley with a bag in his hand.

The two people smiled when they saw each other from a distance.

"Where have you been for the past half day?" Xie Qiyuan walked closer, stared at Jiang Xihe anxiously for a long time, and looked worriedly into the yard, "How are you at home?"

Jiang Xihe looked at the food bag in his hand. The mouth of the bag was half open, and the smell of sauced duck feet wafted out. Jiang Xihe swallowed happily, "Xie Qiyuan, you are such a good person."

She realized later that she hadn't eaten anything all day.

Xie Qiyuan smiled, "I went to the state capital a few days ago to deliver goods, and I just came back today. When I heard there was waterlogging here, I quickly came over to see you. I was here before noon, but you were not here, so I had a good time looking for you."

Jiang Xihe took the food bag from his hand and carried it generously in his hand, "I am very good now, in good health and in a good mood. Seeing this bag of duck food like yours, my appetite will be better."

Xie Qiyuan saw the same light in Jiang Xihe's eyes as before, and felt relieved, "I heard that all the houses here were damaged. How is your house?"

Jiang Xihe sighed, "This is not good, but it doesn't matter. Aunt Zhao's family situation is similar to mine. I haven't had time to ask other people's family situation. If the neighbors around are similar, I will renovate the house with everyone."

Xie Qiyuan wanted to help, but he had no money. Every time he shipped or purchased goods, the old man at home was very tight with the accounting. Xie Qiyuan blinked awkwardly, "Look for me as an employee."

Jiang Xihe had known about his situation for a long time and waved his hand generously, "Thank you so much, Mr. I, how can I have the nerve to instruct you."

Xie Qiyuan's eyes were slightly angry and he complained unhappily, "When Brother Feng was here earlier, I was always there if anything happened."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Qiyuan regretted it. He really didn't pick up the pot quickly and stared at Jiang Xihe with his eyes. Xie Qiyuan wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

Jiang Xihe smiled, "I'm fine, you don't have to be careful anymore." Jiang Xihe's broken hair was blown by the wind, and her eyes looked clear, "I will be very happy if you can think of your brother often and we talk about him."

Xie Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaohe, it's great if you think so."

"That's enough. You can go back and I will enjoy the delicious food you brought." Jiang Xihe shook the duck in his hand.

Duck paws, duck intestines, and duck gizzards were all Jiang Xihe's favorite foods. Xie Qiyuan had long remembered them in his heart. Xie Qiyuan was unhappy when Jiang Xihe kicked him out. He didn't want to leave. Don't worry, let me go to your house and take a look. "

Jiang Xihe stopped him. She regarded Xie Qiyuan as a friend, but she didn't want to make the Xie family master unhappy. "Go back quickly. Your family is busy these two days. If you run out, be careful of your father scolding you."

Xie Qiyuan lowered his face and was not very happy, "What are you saying? I don't know what happened to my father. He sent a lot of things to the Yamen in the past two days. He also said that Ping'an County was in trouble and he had to support Xiangtai Tower. It’s a heavy burden and I don’t know what to do.”

Jiang Xihe didn't say much and persuaded him, "Now the western part of the city is severely affected and the people have eaten the food from Xiangtai Tower. Who wouldn't say yes? Your father is the only one who knows how to do business. Don't worry, your Xie family's business will get better and better." ."

Xie Qiyuan thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why the gloomy-looking Magistrate Pei took such good care of his family's business.

Magistrate Pei had previously posted the money given by his father at the gate of the county government office. Who didn't know what happened to the money? Wasn't that a slap in the face to his father?
  "Jiang Xihe, I think that County Magistrate Pei is not easy to get along with. I promise to take you to do business in a while, and you should never go to the county government again."

Xie Qiyuan also had a feeling in his heart that Pei Zhizhao seemed to have other thoughts about Jiang Xihe. He couldn't tell for sure, but he felt that there was something wrong with Pei Zhizhao.

Jiang Xihe was so innocent, and he didn't want her to be fooled.
