With the man's lesson learned from the past, the people behind him no longer dare to play tricks. The official has a sharp eye, and their thoughts have nowhere to hide in front of Shi Lei. If they are not careful, they may even lose the bowl of porridge. They don't Silly, you know that following the rules is in your best interest.
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao stood not far away and watched the whole process. Jiang Miao's impression of Shi Lei changed a lot.
Before, she thought that Shi Lei was brave, straightforward, and didn't know how to adapt his words. But now that she saw his different attitudes towards boys and men, Jiang Miao suddenly felt that Shi Lei's straightforward nature was quite good, and he could just say whatever he wanted to say. What, he is not afraid of the eyes of outsiders at all, he is a person worth trusting.
"Liang Duo's brothers are pretty good."
Jiang Miao whispered to Shen Yanqing that they were not like mobs, but more like chivalrous knights. Thinking of the ending of these people in the original book, Jiang Miao felt a little sad.
Fortunately, Shen Yanqing is the county magistrate in this life, otherwise Liang Duo and the others might end up like the original book, and be beheaded in public.
"Um."
Shen Yanqing nodded slightly. He also admired Liang Duo and others. He was now a polished commander, and the implementation of many policies was thanks to the help of Liang Duo and his brothers.
"Shen Zhuangyuan, Mrs. Shen, let's go to the front, while the victims are telling everyone how to collect dew."
Liang Duo saw that Shi Lei and the others had almost finished distributing the porridge, and the victims felt much more energetic after eating.
"good."
Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao had no objection and walked forward together.
There was only a short queue left in front of the cauldron, and the other victims were scattered at the city gate. After eating and drinking, everyone's face was full of life, and they felt a rare sense of comfort under the sunshine at noon.
These people have all met Liang Duo and know that he is the leader of the mob. In the past, these victims were afraid that he would drive them away like the previous county magistrate.
But now it was discovered that he not only did not drive them away but also gave them food to eat. When a group of victims saw Duoliang Duo, they burst into tears of gratitude and knelt on the ground to kowtow to him.
"Magistrate Liang, it's Magistrate Liang!"
"Magistrate Liang is very kind and provides food for us people. You are a well-deserved parent official!"
"Our despicable life will belong to Magistrate Liang from now on. We must never forget your great kindness!"
The surrounding victims were all grateful, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across Liang Duo's face. All these grains were raised by Shen Yanqing, and he did nothing. He completely deserved it. Liang Duo did not dare to take credit.
He cleared his throat and made a gesture to calm down the victims.
"Magistrate Liang?"
The victims didn't know what he was going to do, but they stopped talking.
"Ahem, Liang Mou, the county magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture, is not worthy of his honour. This Shen Yanqingchen champion is the one you should thank."
As he spoke, Liang Duo pointed his finger at Shen Yanqing beside him. Not only the victims were confused, but Jiang Miao also didn't react. Why did Liang Duo suddenly return the seat of county magistrate to Shen Yanqing in public?
It's not that she has the heart of a villain to judge a gentleman. Shen Yanqing, a powerless boy, cannot compare with Liang Duo, who has many subordinates. Even if Liang Duo doesn't want to give up his position as county magistrate, Shen Yanqing can't help him. No.
Jiang Miao was confused. She glanced at Shen Yanqing and saw that his face was calm and showed no signs of shock, as if he had already foreseen it.
"Ms. sir?"
Shen Yanqing gently shook her hand to express comfort. Jiang Miao was right. He had indeed guessed Liang Duo's plan before.
After he raised the food, the attitude of Liang Duo and others changed. Shen Yanqing observed the changes in detail and saw the changes in several people.
Moreover, giving porridge is not only about rescuing the victims, but also a matter of winning the hearts of the people for the officials of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Liang Duo did not do it alone, but also asked him and Jiang Miao to come outside the city together, just to clear his name.
"Magistrate Shen?"
The victims expressed doubts. How could this pretty boy look like a county magistrate? He looked unreliable. They only recognized Liang Duo.
"County Magistrate Liang, we only recognize you as the magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Only you really care about the people. These dog officials sent by the court can only plunder the people's wealth and do nothing. They want to rob people as soon as they take office." Credit, it’s not a good thing at first glance!”
"That's right, Magistrate Liang is a good official!"
"Quiet, everyone, listen to me!"
Liang Duo didn't expect that the victims would start making trouble before he finished speaking, and let Shen Yanqing get scolded. If Shen Yanqing misunderstood that he did it on purpose, it would turn a good thing into a bad thing.
He glanced at Shen Yanqing apologetically. Seeing that Shen Yanqing didn't care, Liang Duo breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed the champion of Shen and had an open mind.
"Magistrate Shen is different from the previous officials. The food you eat is all raised by him. Magistrate Shen cares about the people. He couldn't bear to see everyone suffering from hunger. He wrote letters asking for food when he took office. There is no such thing as Magistrate Shen." Ling, you all have to continue to be hungry!"
Liang Duo observed the expressions of the victims as he spoke. They all looked dubious.
"County Magistrate Liang, what you said is true. You didn't get these grains from you. It was this novice... wasn't it... Magistrate Shen asked for it?"
"Yes, you all know Liang's ability. I have been in this position for so long and I haven't found even one and a half taels of grain. If it weren't for County Magistrate Shen, not only everyone, but also me would have starved to death."
Liang Duo praised Shen Yanqing vigorously to the victims, and now they all believed him.
After all, if you think about it for a long time, you will know that what Liang Duo said is true. Liang Duo and others are a mob in the court. If Zhenjiang Prefecture is in their hands, the court will not send food.
But Shen Yanqing was different. He was an official personally appointed by the emperor, and the food was delivered to Zhenjiang Mansion not long after Shen Yanqing took office. All this makes sense.
"County Magistrate Shen, all common people are mean-mouthed and have misunderstood you. Your Excellency has a lot of money. Please forgive the common people!"
"Yes, it turns out that the imperial court still remembers us and is willing to give us a way out..."
"Magistrate Shen is a good official, but we misunderstood him!"
The same words rang out in the crowd, and everyone kowtowed and thanked Shen Yanqing. Liang Duo's goal was achieved. In order to build momentum for Shen Yanqing, he struck while the iron was hot and told him about collecting dew.
"Everyone of you has a bowl, and you only need a piece of oil paper to have water every day. This is the method that County Magistrate Shen came up with. He not only solved the problem of food shortage for everyone, but also thought of the problem of water shortage... …”
The victims were overjoyed. After experiencing the drought, they knew the pain of water shortage. Many of them died of thirst due to lack of water. Now they not only have food but also water. A group of people expressed their gratitude to Shen Yanqing. That was tears of gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Magistrate Shen, thank you so much, Magistrate Shen..."
Liang Duo was moved. He was once one of these people. Seeing that they had a way to survive, Liang Duo respected Shen Yanqing even more.
When Shen Yanqing saw the victims' reactions, his chest was hot, and his eyes were full of encouragement and determination.
"Everyone should live well and rebuild our homes!"
