The husband is the hunter

Chapter 346

"I'm not... I'm..." Fang Lin couldn't explain clearly for a while, she knew that even if she told about those two people, Shi Lei might not believe everything, let alone the other party had already left the building, so She had no choice but to take out the dowry list she had extracted, "I found this thing at home, and wondered if it could be used as evidence, after all, there is only one copy of famous calligraphy and paintings like "Songshan Evening Photo". Moreover, Nanshan's grandma's dowry list also recorded the seals of those who collected these calligraphy and paintings, so it is definitely not a fake. It's just that I am a woman, and I don't have the ability to inquire about the whereabouts of this thing, so I wondered whether to ask Lord Taishou, if he is willing to help, I... How about I donate 1000 taels of silver from my family to the government for disaster relief?"

Now the matter of disaster relief is what worries Chen Kangping the most. The government has already opened warehouses to release grain during the previous floods. Now let alone the Qingyang County Government, even the prefect’s mansion in Yuezhou City does not have much grain. However, the weather was severely drought, and there was no food supply. The rich people bought food early and hoarded it. The most miserable people were ordinary people. They ate their last meal every day and did not eat their next meal. Shi Lei was helping the county government all day long. I don't know this, he thought for a while, and said with a serious face, "I now say that I am a public servant, but in fact it is no different from those yamen servants. I can only report this matter to the prefect. I don't want to see you, I can't guarantee if I can help you."

He didn't ask Fang Lin where the 1000 taels of silver came from. Since Duan Nanshan is the son of Duan Yanzhi, a wealthy household in Qingyang, there is no guarantee that there will be no missing family wealth.

Fang Lin is not as far-fetched as Sun's, so she naturally knows that Shi Lei has no official, no function, and limited endurance, but he is someone who can get in touch with the public, except for him, she really can't think of any way to meet the prefect.

Unexpectedly, Chen Kangping was surprisingly easy to talk this time. Before Shi Lei finished speaking, he ordered his servants to lead Fang Lin in, and said with a smile, "It's not like the saying goes, husband and wife are the same Lin Niao, when disaster strikes, they will fly separately. I don’t think this is the case. Isn’t your cousin a kind person? Avoid it, but still find a way to solve it, it's rare!"

Shi Lei laughed, "Master Chen is absurd, Fang is just an ordinary woman." He felt in his heart that Chen Kangping was willing to see Fang Lin probably because of the 1000 taels of silver.

In fact, Shi Lei really wronged Chen Kangping for thinking this way.He has been an official for several years, and he has been able to sit firmly in the prefect position without forming a party. Naturally, he has great foresight. He met Fang Lin, but it was because someone gave him a letter saying that Meng Qingyu was about to fall.

Meng Qingyu has been an official for more than 30 years, and has been the Minister of the Ministry of Households for more than ten years.What is the concept of the Household Minister? It is equivalent to being in charge of a country's financial power. The amount of money handled every year ranges from hundreds of millions of taels to tens of millions of taels. He could peel off all the money from the account, but he had a good relationship with several auxiliary ministers. Over the years, the Meng family was as rich as an enemy, but no one dared to touch a hair of Meng Qingyu.
