"Master Wang, what are you talking about? My husband-in-law got into trouble?"
In official circles, Shen Youwei was not happy when he heard this.
He stared at Magistrate Wang with squinting eyes: "My husband-in-law has helped you a lot just now, so don't be alarmist!"
"Miss Shen, it is precisely because Su Cheng has helped me so much that I have to remind you!"
Magistrate Wang said with a bitter look on his face: "Although every county has granaries, the food in them has long been gone!"
Don't ask how County Magistrate Wang knew about this kind of thing.
If an official doesn't embezzle something, then he or she is still an official.
There were granaries, but the grain in them had long been sold privately by these county magistrates.
The reason is very simple. These grains are used for relief, but there are usually places that need food.
It would be a waste to store this food in it. In addition, we can still receive food from the people below every year. After selling the food in the granary, we can just collect more from the people to make up for it.
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Magistrate Wang didn't need to say it explicitly, he already guessed the reason.
Since the granaries in each county are out of food, it would be a big mistake for him to ask these victims to go to the county magistrates today.
This is tantamount to revealing the crimes of those county magistrates!
"Humph, since they did such a thing, they have to pay for it!"
Su Cheng snorted coldly: "Hasn't Magistrate Wang already written a letter to the prefect? I believe the prefect will send troops here soon after receiving the order."
With the soldiers and horses sent by the prefect stationed in Liuhe County, it would be impossible for other county magistrates to take action against him.
"this……"
Magistrate Wang showed hesitation: "That being said, what if the prefect doesn't send troops?"
"Don't worry, the prefect will definitely send troops!" Su Cheng said with a confident look on his face: "Don't forget, I also wrote to the prefect."
"I have the status of a marquis, so he will be a little more scrupulous."
"And we have a bumper grain harvest in Liuhe County. In order to ensure his own position, the prefect will not let this grain be harvested by the victims."
"What Mr. Wang needs to do is to quickly organize manpower to harvest the rice and harvest all the rice before the next time the victims arrive."
"Madam, let's go back!"
After briefly explaining a few words, Su Cheng turned around and rode away with Shen Youwei.
Magistrate Wang looked at Su Cheng's leaving figure with a strange look in his eyes.
This Su Cheng is more powerful than he imagined.
Today, not only did he calm down the victims with a few words, but he also vowed that the prefect would send troops here.
If I really get promoted this time, I must find a way to recommend Su Cheng to be the magistrate of Liuhe County!
Judging from Su Cheng's current performance, he has a bright future!
If Su Cheng showed his good will before he became successful, he might have to rely on Su Cheng for his future career.
"You few stay here while the others go back with me to harvest rice!"
Magistrate Wang gave the order and then took the people back to the county to harvest the rice in person.
Time is particularly important for Liuhe County now.
In order to get promoted and make a fortune, Magistrate Wang did not care about his status. He wanted to take the lead in harvesting rice himself.
With him taking the lead and setting an example, the big families will understand the seriousness of the matter and they will go to the fields to harvest rice.
There is strength in numbers. Once everyone goes to the fields to harvest grain, I believe that all the rice in Liuhe County will be harvested in a few days.
On this side, Su Cheng returned to Shen Mansion holding Shen Youwei's waist.
On the way, while feeling the close contact between herself and Su Cheng, Shen Youwei muttered:
"This guy, Magistrate Wang, is so cunning. He actually left this mess to your husband to handle!"
Su Cheng was stunned when he heard this.
This was the first time he heard Shen Youwei call herself husband when no one was around!
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, knowing that his position in the Shen family was stable.
With Shen Youwei here, he will definitely have this soft meal from now on.
"My lady, you don't have to be like this. Magistrate Wang didn't know that I would use this method to convince those victims."
Su Cheng leaned on Shen Youwei's back and chuckled: "Besides, even if those county magistrates knew that it was my idea and that I have a title, they would not dare to do anything to me."
"Besides, our Shen family's rice harvest has been completed. Even if they want to retaliate, they can't threaten the Shen family."
All possible escape routes have been thought out, and Su Cheng is not afraid at all.
Anyway, the Shen family's food harvest has been harvested. All they need to do next is to survive the drought, reopen the Shen family's cloth shop business, and continue to live a soft life.
Judging from his current development with Shen Youwei, maybe he will have children by then.
At this moment, Su Cheng's mind had begun to envision the scene of him eating soft rice next.
After what happened during this period, he has already defeated the Shen family, County Magistrate Wang, and even Shen Youwei, who was the most difficult to deal with, fell in love with him.
He eats this soft rice as a matter of course!
But when Shen Youwei heard his tone, her face showed a look of hatred for iron!
This guy is obviously so capable, why doesn't he have any ambition at all?
Talented people should not be limited to Liuhe County!
Huh, it seems like this guy won't make progress unless he pushes himself hard.
I don’t want my husband to stay in the Shen family all the time!
If you don't have the ability, forget it, but you obviously have the ability, shouldn't you stand up and benefit more people?
"What this means is that after the drought, my husband plans to continue taking care of the Shen family cloth village and continue to be a rich man in Liuhe County?"
Shen Youwei's tone was a bit teasing and probing.
Su Cheng smiled slightly: "Of course, with you here, my wife, and the Shen family here, I will definitely be happy and at ease."
"In the future, if I have five or six more children, I can take them fishing every day and be a happy prince~"
Although it was a joke, Shen Youwei also blushed for a while.
"Pooh!"
"Who...who wants to have five or six children with you, shameless!"
Shen Youwei blushed and spat lightly.
It's just this uncertain tone that makes people know that she is feeling guilty.
Even Su Cheng was slightly startled.
No, I was just joking.
She...she takes it seriously?
Now...if I don't really give birth to five or six children, I'm afraid it won't be over!
"Um...actually I was joking." Su Cheng tried to come back.
It would be better not to say this.
As soon as she said this, Shen Youwei, who had been immersed in fantasy, suddenly came back to her senses.
This guy... is so hateful!
I have already decided to have three boys and two girls.
He actually said...this is a joke!
"Are you kidding me?"
Shen Youwei looked furious: "Go back tonight and you can practice martial arts with me!"
"Practice martial arts? I can't do it!"
Are you kidding? Su Cheng knows how much he weighs, but he can't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts.
“Men can’t say no!”
Shen Youwei sneered: "Didn't my mother say that she would teach you martial arts last time? When you get back tonight, you should practice Zama Step first!"
