When Sun Fulin returned to his residence, he sent his men to inquire about the news.
Sun Fulin was recognized as an imperial envoy by the emperor himself, so he was certainly not a brainless person.
When the incident happened, he heard someone in the crowd saying something like where Miss Li was giving porridge.
He asked his men to pay attention to the troublemakers.
Their government is distributing food here, but Miss Li is giving porridge elsewhere.
This is obviously a challenge to them.
I heard from that person that the porridge Miss Li served was all new rice, and the rice here was moldy rice.
Comparing the two sides, even a fool would not be happy.
It was obvious that someone was deliberately provoking him and demolishing him as an imperial envoy in public.
After Sun Fulin drank a cup of tea, his subordinate came back and said, "Sir, everything has been investigated clearly."
"Following your Lord's instructions, my subordinates followed those who were causing trouble, and indeed found that these people were colluding with Li Yan, whom the people said."
Sun Fulin tapped his fingers on the desk.
The visitor glanced at him and continued, "My subordinates specially investigated this little girl and found that this little girl is very talkative and has a close relationship with Zhou Bi."
Things were pretty much what he thought, but there were some discrepancies.
Sun Fulin's face darkened a bit and asked, "Where did she come from?"
"What does it have to do with Zhou Bi?"
"This Li Yan's parents are both dead. She runs a pharmacy called Yaoxiangtang alone in Hejun County. She often donates porridge and medicine to gain some fame."
"Today she led people to give porridge at the entrance of Yaoxiangtang. Those who helped her were people from the yamen."
"Those government officials were chatting and laughing with her. It seemed they had not been together for more than a day or two."
"My subordinates also heard that Li Yan often goes in and out of Zhou's house and keeps close contact with Zhou Bi's family."
Sun Fulin frowned, "In that case, this matter was planned in advance."
The visitor thought for a while and said, "I think Zhou Bi noticed something strange in the food early in the morning and took the opportunity to leak the news."
Sun Fulin snorted, "Where does Zhou Bi get the courage?"
"This is what my subordinates find strange. This doesn't look as bold as the county magistrate."
The visitor took a look at the calligraphy and paintings on the table. They were eagerly sent by Zhou Bi yesterday in order to please the adults.
If he really wants to cause trouble, he doesn't have to worry about trying to please the adults.
The man added, "Did we all get it wrong? Zhou Bi is actually not as simple as he appears."
The room fell into silence for a moment.
After a moment, the visitor said hesitantly, "About Li Yan, my subordinate also inquired about one thing."
"explain"
"My subordinates also found out that Li Yan assisted Zhou Bi in praying for rain and was praised by everyone in He County. The people regarded this person as a living Bodhisattva and respected this little girl very much."
"As a result, Li Yan's status in the hearts of some people is stable and even surpasses that of Zhou Bi. Many people spread the word that she is magical and omnipotent, saying that she is a fairy from heaven who came down to save the world and benefit the people.
"
"This woman behaves arrogantly and domineeringly. It can be said that even if she walks sideways in He County, no one will have any objections. The people will even stand in a row to welcome her."
When the visitor said this, his eyes were a bit strange, "The people in the county are extremely weird. People here seem to be possessed when they mention Li Yan. They cannot tolerate others saying anything bad about her."
"I heard that not long ago, someone offended her and was tortured miserably. Zhou Bi was even imprisoned."
In fact, visitors feel that the people here have some mental problems, including Zhou Bi.
If Zhou Bi was in his right mind, how could he allow Li Yan to dominate him and indulge this woman to this extent?
Zhou Bi, a parent official, turned his life into a decoration.
Sun Fulin chuckled, "The county also has a goddess stick. This place is really interesting."
Officials are not officials, people are not people.
No wonder this little girl is arrogant and gets into trouble with him.
It's time for someone to teach her how to behave.
Sun Fulin waved to him, and the man stepped forward.
Sun Fulin whispered a few words into his ear.
He also ordered, "Have someone keep an eye on Vice General Zhao."
............................
Li Yan had just closed the porridge stall when Li Si came over.
She glanced at the person next to her and said, "Miss Li, please take a step to speak."
Li Yan understood and asked Jinjie to help clean up outside, and then invited the people into the Yaoxiang Hall.
Without the rest of the crowd, Li Si tactfully told the girl what the magistrate had told her.
Li Yan laughed when she saw him hesitating.
Zhou Bi thought it was not unusual for her to be a troublemaker.
What's strange is that his subordinates have very different ideas from him.
Presumably Zhou Bi will not feel good at this moment.
"Please help me thank the county magistrate for his kindness. Just tell him. I have written down everything he reminded me."
Li Yan was silent and then said, "You can ask him again if he has any difficulties? If there is something that cannot be solved, you can send someone to find me."
Li Si was anxious to reply to Zhou Bi, so he clasped his fists and said goodbye.
Before he left, Li Yan brought him two packages of herbal medicine from the medicine cabinet.
Li Si scratched his head, confused and unable to figure out the purpose of her move.
Li Yan explained, "Thanks to your help in the shop these days, the herbal medicines are also made, so I thought of giving some to you so you can take them back to eat. They will be good for your body."
Li Si wanted to say no, he was in the prime of life and had no illness or pain, so there was no need to take this tonic.
But Miss Li gave it sincerely, but she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she had to scratch her head and accept it, "Thank you very much, Miss Li."
Li Yan smiled and said, "One bag is for you, and you give the other bag to Mr. Zhou."
She reminded him again, "Take one patch in the morning and evening, so adults don't have to take the medicine. This is a week's supply."
Li Si happily agreed.
In fact, as a young man, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to talk about taking supplements.
Now that it's better, he's not the only one who's embarrassed.
The county magistrate also has a share.
Li Si carried two large bags of medicine and left happily.
While Li Si nervously pulled Li Yan away from everyone, Zhang San was waiting for him outside.
Now I saw him holding two large bags of medicine in his hand, smiling like a fool, and said with a smile, "Ms. Li gave it to me."
Li Si nodded and saw that he was holding the same large medicine bag in his hand, and smiled, "You have one too?"
Zhang San, "If you have it, how can I not have it?"
He said proudly, "Miss Li gave all the brothers who helped in the yamen. Miss Li also found someone to take those who didn't come today."
The yamen servants had errands to do, so they only took turns coming to Li Yan's place to help when they were not on duty. A rough estimate of these people would be around twenty.
Ms. Li has a large bag of medicine at hand, so generous.
Can this fragrant medicine hall still make money?
Zhang San is quite a gossip. As he walked, he asked Li Si, "What did you want to do with Miss Li just now?"
"You've heard about the moldy rice incident at the county government office, right?"
Although Zhang San was with Li Yan, the moldy rice in the county government caused such a big commotion.
Both sides are providing food relief.
Whenever something happens over there, someone will come here to report it.
Now I am afraid that the entire He County knows about this.
"The county magistrate opened the treasury to store grain and replaced the moldy rice, which offended the imperial envoy. Let me come over and talk to Miss Li and tell her to keep a low profile."
Speaking of this matter, Li Si couldn't help but look worried.
The two of them looked at each other, feeling sad and no longer in the mood to joke.
Not long after the two left, a figure left quickly like light and shadow.
