During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Magistrate Wang was well-known and had a bright future. When he first arrived in Qingzhou, he heard that several families planned to marry their daughters to him as concubines, but Magistrate Wang sharply rejected them all.

However, based on her understanding of Jiang Miao, she really had no interest in Magistrate Wang, so she wondered if Magistrate Wang had that intention.

"Speaking of wheat, all the wheat grown by my eldest brother was sold to the county government, and the wheat grown by me was also booked by my eldest brother. Because of you, our family has made a lot of money. My eldest brother also said that if you have time, please You eat."

When Jiang Miao sent wheat to the Fang brothers and sisters, firstly she wanted to thank them, and secondly she wanted to draw them into her camp with some evil intentions.

So now that the Fang family wanted to invite her to dinner, she still felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject, "You just said that Magistrate Wang impeached Qian County Cheng. What is Qian County Cheng's reaction now? What do you think of the final result?"

"I don't know about this, but my father said that Qian County Magistrate's position is very likely to be unstable. Wang County Magistrate was born in Guozixue, and his mentor is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This time Qingzhou discovered another If we have obtained wheat seeds with a high yield per acre, the imperial court will definitely pay attention to it and will most likely agree with Magistrate Wang’s proposal.”

In other words, Qian County Cheng is going to be in trouble.

Jiang Miao had only met Qian County Magistrate a few times, and she originally had a good impression of him. However, as the character of the Qian family was revealed, she became less and less fond of the county magistrate.

Maybe he was not involved in the affairs of the Qian family, but the reason why the Qian family members were confident was probably because they relied on him as the county magistrate.

If Qian Xiancheng really fell, the Qian family would probably also die.

Similarly, Shopkeeper Yang can no longer cause trouble for her unscrupulously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Miao was still very happy.

Madam Fang stayed until night, when the servants of the Fang family came to see her and left reluctantly.

Before leaving, she warned Jiang Miao.

"I heard that thieves suddenly appeared outside Qingzhou City for a while, specializing in robbing wealthy children who went out. You should go out less recently."

Jiang Miao's heart trembled, but her face remained calm as she sent Lady Fang out.

He turned around and found Zhong Bai who was coaxing the child, "Zhong Bai, do you know about the thieves outside Qingzhou City?"

Zhong Bai shook his head and handed his daughter over to his wife.

The two came outside the house.

"I haven't heard of it, but the last time Wang He attacked the Yuzhou Prefecture School, there were reports of thieves in Qingzhou for a while, but no one had seen it."

Having said this, he looked around and lowered his voice.

"Later, the chief governor of Qingzhou was dismissed. The current chief governors are all from Mr. Luo. After Mr. Luo came to Qingzhou, the governor's office sent troops to patrol the routes to and from Qingzhou. Logically speaking, there should be no thieves. Yes, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Zhong Bai hesitated.

Jiang Miao couldn't see him like this, "Hurry up and tell me, unless what?"

"Unless this group of thieves was arranged by Mr. Luo."

Jiang Miao: "..."

This joke is a bit big, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.However, Luo Tingye is a dignified prince. How could he condescend to become a bandit? More importantly, by doing so, isn't he afraid of attracting the attention of interested people?
Seeing her frown, Zhong Bai said, "If you want to know if this is true, I can send someone to inquire."

"Let's ask around. After all, we also live in Qingzhou City. If there are really thieves, we should be more careful and don't make too much noise. But the thieves are outside the city and they shouldn't break into the city. We are not considered wealthy, so even if someone wanted to rob us, they wouldn’t be able to rob us.”

Zhong Bai nodded, feeling relieved at the same time. He was really worried that the girl would run out of the city to find some thief out of curiosity?
As the days passed, the news that new wheat was planted in Qingzhou had spread throughout Qingzhou. Seeing that the harvest day was coming soon, many people were rubbing shoulders, preparing to feast their eyes on it.

But the atmosphere in the Yang family is getting more and more tense day by day.

"How? Any news?"

"Not yet. Governor Ming and General Ye have sent people to inquire everywhere. They have almost turned the entire Qingzhou upside down, but they still haven't found the group of thieves."

Shopkeeper Yang threw away the tea cup in his hand angrily. The impatience, anger, and worry in the past few days had made him lose weight. His face was sallow and pale, as if he had been seriously ill.

The people under his hands were startled, trembling with fear, and did not even dare to breathe.

At this time, the servant ran in anxiously, "Master, master, a little beggar just sent a letter, saying that someone asked him to give it to you."

Shopkeeper Yang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly took the letter. After opening it, his face turned red and his chest heaved with anger.

"What happened to the shopkeeper?"

Shopkeeper Yang licked his dry lips, took a deep breath, barely suppressed the rise and fall of his chest, and said in a trembling voice, "The kidnapper has written a letter and told us to prepare 50 taels within three days, otherwise we will be Hand the third master over to the court."

"50 taels? With so much money, are these thieves crazy? Maybe they think our Yang family is easy to mess with, so they dared to kidnap the third master."

Shopkeeper Yang only had two words in his mind: it was over.

So, he waved his hands a little tiredly: "It's useless to say anything now. The third master has fallen into their hands and we can only listen to them. Otherwise, once he is handed over to the court, the Yang family will be finished."

He regretted a little. He shouldn't have let the third master leave so early. He should have waited two or three years until the matter was completely over.

But the third master's temper is such that he is not willing to wait any longer, even for a few more days.

Shopkeeper Yang said with some luck: "Although 50 taels is not a small amount, we must rescue the third master no matter what. Please notify the accountant immediately and ask them to raise money as soon as possible."

"But with such a large amount of money and only three days, where can we raise it?"

"I'll try my best, but I can't sell some antique calligraphy and paintings." Shopkeeper Yang gritted his teeth, "If I can't, go to Qian's house, go to Pan's house to borrow some money, and then the owner will send someone to send the money, and then return it to them. "

This is a way.

But if this happens, I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by the Qian family and the Pan family. If I want them to do something in the future, it may not be that easy.

But as long as the Yang family is still there, the Qian family and the Pan family will not dare to mess around.

Shopkeeper Yang made up his mind and asked his branch manager to raise money, and asked the housekeeper to borrow money from Qian's and Pan's families.

The Pan family doesn't have a very good relationship with him, so it should be a little difficult to borrow money, but if Xiaozhi uses emotion and reason, and then uses power to suppress others, it shouldn't be too difficult.
