The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 1218 Of course not afraid

"Aren't you afraid if you know that I'm a queen? After all, I'm under one person and above ten thousand people." Shen Qiqi was curious about his calmness, and she was also testing him.

"What do I need to be afraid of? What you said in my memorial is the truth. Since the emperor let the queen come here, it seems that he believed my words, then please tell the emperor what you have seen. People came to rescue Pingyuan County. Pingyuan County is a very good place, but it is so desolate because of the girl being robbed."

Dongfang Chi met Shen Qiqi's gaze, he was slightly shorter than Qi Zhao, but taller than Shen Qiqi by half a head.Shen Qiqi happened to reach his chin, and he also looked like a frail scholar.

"Since your identity has been identified by you, I don't want to say too much, but I really want to hear what happened in Pingyuan County from you again. You don't need to go into details like memorials, and tell me simply, I also want to talk about it again. Seeing the situation in Pingyuan County, I'll hear from you again later." Shen Qiqi didn't want to talk nonsense, and his time was precious, she remembered Yueling's telling him to rush back to the station as soon as possible, and if Ning Junliang and Something really happened between Chi Yumang and she was not around, if she couldn't handle it, she would really be afraid of delaying Chi Mubai's affairs.

"Since two years ago in Pingyuan County, there have been inexplicable girls missing. At first it was only one or two, and then it developed to more than a dozen every month. The people here are panic-stricken. I don't know why this happened again. In addition, the weather has not been good in the past two years, the farmland has failed, and many people, especially those with daughters, have moved out with their families. In the past two years, Pingyuan County has also been desolate."

Dongfang Chi asked Shen Qiqi to go into the hall and sit down, and ordered someone to pour tea for Shen Qiqi. Shen Qiqi noticed that only a middle-aged man came in with tea, and there were no other servants, and the layout of the entire hall was really very simple simple.Some are not even comparable to ordinary people, but they feel very clean.It seems that Dongfang Chi's life is also very poor, and the servant stood aside after serving the tea.

"I tried my best to find out the truth, and found that these girls should have been hijacked to go to other places, but I can only find here and the clues are broken. I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Ping Yuan Junjing’s feng shui is not good. He offended the gods, that’s why it hasn’t rained for three years in a row, and the girl disappeared. Of course, the people were even more frightened when they heard it. Those who could leave left, and those who stayed were unable to leave except for the rich. It's gone."

Dongfang Chi briefly explained the matter according to Shen Qiqi's request, and after he finished speaking, he also sighed deeply and drank a big mouthful of tea.Shen Qiqi saw that the tea was all light blue in color, obviously the tea leaves were newly planted, and after taking a sip, Shen Qiqi felt that it was far from the tea he drank in the palace.She drank tribute tea in the palace, and he knew it was a very good variety, but as a sheriff, she wouldn't drink such poor tea.

Dongfang Chi is also considered a careful person, he saw Shen Qiqi frowned after drinking tea, he said immediately.

"This tea should not be able to enter the mouth of the empress. Please forgive me. In fact, there is nothing good in my county capital. I also grow these teas myself. The flowers and trees you saw earlier are made of tea or vegetables. Category."

Dongfang Chi's words made Shen Qiqi feel strange again, did he mean self-reliance?Even if you grow your own food, do you also supply your own vegetables?
"Does the sheriff still know how to grow tea?" Qi Zhao couldn't help it, he asked, and at the same time looked at the flowers and plants in the front yard.

"The sheriff doesn't need to re-examine, but most of our adults' salaries are given to those ordinary people, and our daily expenses are very small, so we can only plant as much as possible. These tea trees are planted by me. Not adults. Kind of, my skills are not up to scratch, if the empress blames it, please punish me alone, it has nothing to do with adults."

The servant standing behind Dongfang Chi, upon hearing Qi Zhao's words, thought that Shen Qiqi was dissatisfied with the tea he drank, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Qiqi, it took Shen Qiqi a while to understand his Meaning, quickly ask Qi Zhao to help him up.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not blaming your lord, nor do I think this tea is bad. In fact, I don't like drinking tea very much. What I like to drink is milk tea. Forget it, you don't know what I'm talking about, anyway. I didn't mean to punish you, but what do you mean when you said that most of your family's salary was given to the common people?"

Shen Qiqi saw that this servant's forehead was bleeding, and it was not a blood mark, but real dripping blood. She could only feel that this servant was extremely loyal to Dongfang Chi, and she also grasped the servant's words in words.

"My lord, can I say?" The servant ignored the blood on his forehead, turned his head and looked at Dongfang Chi earnestly, Dongfang Chi saw the blood on his forehead, and waved his hand at him unbearably.

"You go and bandage the wound, I'll tell the empress, remember, go buy some food and come back to cook, don't leak any news." Dongfang Chi ordered the servant, and the servant immediately turned around and left, Shen Qiqi He felt that if Dongfang Chi didn't allow it, this servant would not tell him anything. Although he knew that he was a queen, this servant only had Dongfang Chi in his eyes, and he was really loyal to Dongfang.

"If he doesn't tell you, you have to tell me why most of your salary is given to the common people. Is it because the common people here are too miserable? How much is your monthly salary?" Shen Qiqi wanted to know reason.If it is true as that scary person said, this Dongfang Chi is really kind to the people, he should be a good official who is honest and honest.If this kind of person is blessed with talent, he should be a good person to assist Chi Mubai.

"Since my mother asked, I might as well tell you that my monthly salary is 30 taels of silver. I can only keep five taels of silver for my own use. The rest will be distributed to the people who need it most. If I don't help They, they are afraid that the whole family will starve to death, and their fields have no harvest, and there are a few families whose daughters have been kidnapped and there is no news. It is a pity that my salary is less. If it can be more, I should can help more people.”

Dongfang Chi's face was sincere, but Shen Qiqi also saw that his eyes didn't seem to be fake, he didn't expect him to be so clean and honest, but this could also explain why his Juan capital looked like a house with no officials at all. home furnishing.
