Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 106 Revealing identity
When Chen Wenxin and others arrived at the county yamen, the county magistrate in charge had already heard the news, and brought the officials in the yamen to greet him outside the county yamen.

Chen Wenxin also saw the old man in long gown, scholar Li Maohe in the crowd.

Lu Zong took the injured woman back to the other courtyard first, the county magistrate saw the appearance of Chen Wenxin and Chen Wenxin, and knew their identities without further questioning.

"Please concubine Jin An, I have met General Chen."

The county magistrate respectfully knelt down to pay his respects, and the rest of the people knelt behind him.

"I heard that my mother was assaulted by impolite soldiers at the gate of the city, and I immediately ordered to arrest such lawless people!"

The local military and government are separated, and the troops are under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant, who is not counted as the county magistrate.

He was happy to use it as a favor to Chen Wenxin, and by the way, he sent three fires to his new official appointment.
-
The emperor was stationed here, and the governors and governors came here one after another. How could he, a small county magistrate, be angry.

What's more, he is also a county magistrate.

He used to be the magistrate of Linjiang Mansion, but when the emperor came, the magistrate of Suqian County was dismissed, so he had to be promoted.

Suqian is a good place with a thriving population and rich products.

If he is really in charge of this county, there will be a lot of good things in it...

Chen Wenxin didn't make a sound, and walked straight towards the county government office without looking at him.

Chen Wenyi was half a step behind her, and smiled mysteriously at the county magistrate.

The acting county magistrate made him confused by this smile.

The empress seems to be angry. Could it be that the soldiers were rude and rushed, so they blamed him?
Why did General Chen smile at him?This half-smile made him startled.

Could it be that the empress is angry for not letting the victims enter the city?
Although I heard that the empress made the decision to let the victims into the city, but this order was given by the governor, and it has nothing to do with him!

The acting county magistrate was thinking wildly, and the officials behind him looked at each other, at a loss.

"What are you still doing, hurry up!"

He wanted to keep up first, but he heard Xiao Lizi, who was lagging behind, cough.

"Who is this……"

The emperor just came yesterday, and the acting county magistrate only took up his post last night, how can he recognize the people around the emperor.

He can recognize Chen Wenxin and Chen Wenxin, thanks to the fact that everyone is spreading the word.

The concubine Qin and General Chen brought by the emperor are a pair of twin brothers and sisters, born in the posture of heaven and man.

Of these two brothers and sisters, one is beautiful and intelligent, the other is superb in martial arts, and with just a few words, they saved an old man drifting in the river.

At that time, there were countless officials, servants and soldiers on the riverside, and everyone saw this scene.

Xiao Lizi said with a smile: "Our family is serving the emperor, our surname is Li."

The county magistrate's eyes lit up when he heard it, and Li Dequan's name was well known.

Who doesn't know that he is the most trusted person in front of the emperor?

"So it's Eunuch Li."

It is definitely a good thing for Li Dequan to talk to him.

Xiao Lizi knew that he had misunderstood, "The head of the house, Li Dequan, is our family's master, everyone in the palace calls me Little Eunuch Li."

It turned out that it wasn't Li Dequan, Eunuch Li.

The county magistrate was a little disappointed, his expression was fleeting, "It's the same, the same. What can you teach me?"

This attitude is quite satisfying, Xiao Lizi cleared his throat, and said with a slight smile: "The emperor sent our family to obey the instructions of the empress, and what the empress says is the emperor's words."

The county magistrate was taken aback, what does this mean?
If the empress is angry and wants to kill him, can she just push him outside the yamen for execution?
Look at the empress's cold expression just now...

This is not impossible!
He hurriedly apologized to Xiao Lizi, and reached out to shake his hand, looking very close.

"Elder-in-law, what will your mother order?"

Xiao Lizi felt a heavy silver ingot being stuffed into the palm of his hand, thinking that the Suqian county magistrate looked down on him too much.

He didn't like this gift, but fortunately he didn't come here to receive a gift, he just wanted to do the order of the concubine Qin.

Xiao Lizi smiled and said: "Our diligent concubine and the emperor are of the same mind, and she loves the poor and the old most. Do you know, how did the former county magistrate of Suqian be dismissed yesterday?"

It is said that the old man who was rescued from the river cried to General Chen about the casualties and damage to their village.

General Chen turned his head and told the emperor that what the former county magistrate said did not match up, so he was dismissed on the spot.

It is certain that the numbers are not correct. Those fake numbers were originally ordered by the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu. The former county magistrate was just a scapegoat.

Who told him that his official position is small?
The acting county magistrate couldn't help feeling a little chilly, wouldn't he just be in the same position as the former county magistrate?

It was in his name that the governor ordered the disaster victims to be kept out of the city today.If the empress wants to blame her, shouldn't she still blame him?

What should he do, is to directly blame the governor?

There is also the governor above the governor, they are like dogs, who cares about the life and death of a small county magistrate?
His slender arms couldn't twist his thick thighs.

Xiao Lizi said with a tone of using other people's money to eliminate disasters, "So, my lord should take advantage of this time to make meritorious deeds..."

He left such a meaningful sentence, glanced at Chen Wenxin's direction, and hurried forward.

The county magistrate asked the officials around him nonchalantly, "What do you think the empress would like?"

Serving crimes and making meritorious deeds?

Send some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin to the empress, and if the empress is happy, he will be considered a meritorious service.

In order to preserve his wealth, life and official position, he is also willing to give all his precious treasures to his mother.

"grown ups."

The old scholar Li Maohe stepped forward, leaned into the county magistrate's ear, and said something like this.

The county magistrate was dubious, "Are you sure, what does your empress mean?"

Li Maohe sighed, "Sure."

Obviously, this Qin concubine cannot be deduced from the eyes of an ordinary woman.

A concubine with a high status would personally come to the city gate to rescue the victims?

Will he not punish his offense in order to let the soldiers resettle the homeless victims first?

Will the judge of the Gongzhong Tai Hospital personally diagnose and treat a commoner woman?
When he, the county magistrate and others heard the news from the city gate, they felt that the injured woman might be the one who spoke to him just now.

That is also a poor person. The husband is not a responsible person at first glance, and he calls her a weak woman holding a child and arguing with soldiers.

How could such an empress be angry because she came to accept gifts from foreign officials?

Li Maocai is a very prestigious squire in the local area. One is his age and seniority, and the other is that he is a fair person. People from all over the world like to look for him for anything.

The county magistrate decided to believe his words, nodded, and led the crowd to catch up.

The county government went straight to the court, and Chen Wenxin avoided the court and went to the side room.

She sat at the top, and Chen Wenyi sat with her. Everyone dared not sit down when they came in, so they all stood on the ground.

There was an awkward silence.

Chen Wenxin finally opened her mouth, but said to Chen Wenyi: "Second brother, how much money did we bring when we came out of Beijing this time?"

Chen Wenyi said: "I don't know how much silver the emperor brought, but mine has 20 taels of gold."

"I don't have much money in the harem, only Bailu receives 50 taels of silver."

Chen Wenxin pretended to be troubled and said, "I don't know if the money is enough to buy rice for the victims I let in..."

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate and others immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty has offended me, and it is my duty to help the victims. How can I use my Majesty and the general's money?"

Only then did Chen Wenxin glance at him leisurely, "How can this be done, the people I let in will naturally be responsible for themselves."

This means that he is no longer in charge of the Suqian County Yamen.

The county magistrate repeatedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty doesn't know something, there is disaster relief money allocated from above, and it should be used for this!"

She suddenly sternly said: "It should be used for this? Why didn't I see those disaster victims get money?"

Looking at the sallow and emaciated faces of all the victims, one could tell that they had been hungry for a long time.Although Suqian was hit by floods, it was not so rich that they could not buy food.

"Your Majesty, I know that I just took office yesterday, and I don't know anything about it."

The county magistrate was about to cry, "I really don't know!"

It would be a lie to say I don't know.But Chen Wenxin also knew that he really couldn't make any decisions.

There are a lot of magistrates older than him here, and he is acting as the county magistrate, isn't he following the orders of his superiors to do things?

"It turns out my lord doesn't know. It seems that I misunderstood you."

She smiled and said: "Since this is the case, there is no need for me to take out my own powder money. Please open a warehouse for relief, open the city gate, and let the victims settle down first."

The above means that the disaster victims cannot be allowed in.

It is said that he is afraid of offending the emperor, but the most important thing is that he is afraid of spending money.

With the emperor sitting in the local area, it is almost impossible for them to withhold money for disaster relief.

In this way, their income will be reduced...

He was not afraid alone, and there were not many things in the hands of a county magistrate.

But if he blocks the way of getting rich, can he still get it?

As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and the Qin concubine has a high status and is favored, so he can't afford to offend her.

The lord above, he can't afford to offend...

It's really not human inside and out, so he shouldn't be this acting county magistrate!
Chen Wenyi saw his hesitation, took off his saber, and put it on the case without any seriousness.

He was playing with the fringed tassels on the scabbard, and it seemed that the tassels were very interesting.

The county magistrate's kneeling legs trembled, and the crown on his head trembled, and he fell even lower.

Chen Wenxin said with a smile: "It's okay if my lord is reluctant..."

She could use her concubine's golden seal to order the guards to open the warehouse.

If someone dares to defy, let the soldiers brought by the capital open the warehouse forcibly.

The victims are still suffering from hunger, and the most important thing is to solve their food and clothing at this moment.

"Don't force it, don't force it!"

Feeling that someone twisted his waist behind him, he looked behind in pain, and it was Li Maohe, an old scholar.

Thinking of Li Maohe's words, he quickly responded to Chen Wenxin.
