Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 114 Resolving the Crisis 1



"A girl's reputation is very important. Sister Suihe has been charged with unfounded rumors because of this incident a while ago. I don't want to make her sad anymore!" Zhao Qianyu said with a naive smile.

"Hmm... that's right, this young man's character is not bad, I really don't know how this bastard Zhao Tianqi raised such a good son!" The magistrate thought to himself while stroking his beard.

"Actually, my lord, I am very good here, and Aunt Jiang treats me very well, and the people here are very good..." Zhao Qianyu suddenly paused when he said this.

He set his eyes on Jiang Ling, and then whispered something to the magistrate.

After hearing this, the magistrate laughed. He quickly signaled his subordinates to remove the chains on Jiang Ling, looked at Jiang Ling with a very complicated look, and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are a strange woman! Even Zhao Tianqi A naughty son can be disciplined!"

"My lord Mou Zan, I'm just a village woman!" Jiang Ling didn't know what Zhao Qianyu said to the magistrate and could only answer modestly.

Zhao Qianyu walked to Jiang Ling's side at this moment, he blushed and pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands anxiously, hesitating for a long time and said to Jiang Ling: "Aunt Jiang, can I call you mother?"

"What?" Everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Ling.

Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth, which could almost be stuffed with an egg, did not speak for a long time.

If the county magistrate Duan on the side hadn't seen the magistrate beside him, he would definitely be the first to jump out and shout!

"I didn't have a mother since I was a child. I have felt a mother's love during this period of getting along. It was your earnest teaching that changed everything before me. So, I... can I call you a mother?" Zhao Qianyu's eyes burst out with sincerity asked.

Jiang Ling felt that her brain was buzzing, and her temples were hurting badly. She reached out and rubbed her temples, glanced at the people around her, and confirmed that she was in Lujia Village, not after the mango channel's x-change plan. He opened his mouth and said, "This... Mr. Zhao, I know that motherless is indeed very pitiful, but I can't bear it, you can continue to call me Aunt Jiang, and I welcome you to visit Lujia Village anytime and anywhere! It's just this mother , I can't accept it!"

Zhao Qianyu couldn't help showing disappointment when he heard Jiang Ling's words, but he still took a few deep breaths and nodded heavily.

County magistrate Duan heaved a sigh of relief at Jiang Ling's answer. Who knows, he was really worried that Jiang Ling would agree in a flash. After all, maternal love is the nature of every woman, but looking at Jiang Ling's firm eyes, he actually There was also a sneaky hint of joy.

The magistrate glanced around and gave Duan Kang'an a look. Duan Kang'an nodded and went to Jiang Ling's side, cleared his throat and said, "Jiang's meritorious service in pacifying the refugees, a special reward of one hundred taels of silver!"

Talking about ten ingots of snowflake silver with white flowers appeared in front of Jiang Ling's eyes, Jiang Ling shook his head repeatedly despite his joy and said to the magistrate: "My lord, the women think that I dare not take this money!"

The magistrate was a little surprised when he heard this, he suddenly opened his squinted eyes and took a quick look at Jiang Ling's house. Although it wasn't considered a bare house, it looked poor, especially when Jiang Ling and the children were dressed poorly. It's just rough linen, with patches and patches on it, and there is hardly a good place to see.

Seeing this, the magistrate asked curiously: "Mr. Jiang, why did you refuse?"

Jiang Ling saluted the magistrate and said: "The women did not contribute to this matter. The so-called no meritorious service is not rewarded, and the women have no reason to accept it!"

The magistrate was surprised to hear Jiang Ling's answer. Although it was not the first time he had contact with Jiang Ling, he still felt that the woman in front of him was not simple.

"Jiang Shi! This is the magistrate's reward for you! Don't defy!" Duan Kang'an on the side was a little anxious, and hurriedly urged in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ling didn't pay attention to Duan Kang'an at all, and she repeated again with her eyes still firm: "The women did not contribute to this matter. The so-called non-achievement is not rewarded, and the women have no reason to accept it!"

"Then Mrs. Jiang, what if I ask you to accept it?" The magistrate looked at Jiang Ling's firm eyes, and there was a trace of admiration in his heart.

"You are an official, and I am a citizen. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. If you insist on this proposal, my lord, the women can only accept it, but the women want to ask you, can you, a silver rewarding woman, manage it by yourself? "Jiang Ling replied calmly.

"Naturally, the silver reward was given to you, so I let you control it!" The magistrate replied with squinted eyes.

After hearing this, Jiang Ling nodded and thanked the magistrate, then took over 100 taels of snowflake silver, and then she looked at Duan Kang'an and said, "Magistrate Duan, the lady has an unkind request, and I hope you will forgive me."

When the magistrate Duan heard that Jiang Ling was begging him for something else, he nodded happily, coughed hard on his mouth that was almost cracked and said: "Jiang is as straightforward as he wants!"

Jiang Ling immediately put ten ingots of snowflake silver in front of County Magistrate Duan. County Magistrate Duan was taken aback. He stepped back a few steps with a look of panic and waved his hands: "Mr. Yes! It’s too embarrassing for you to refute the magistrate!”

Now Duan Kang'an was really scared. He was not afraid of his black love, but he was afraid that Jiang Ling's recklessness would offend the magistrate. If the magistrate really blamed him, no matter how capable he was, he might not be able to keep Jiang Ling.

"Mr. Jiang! Don't go too far! This is the silver reward I gave you! You actually gave it to others in front of me! Are you guilty?" Seeing this scene, the magistrate immediately drooped the corners of his mouth that had been raised, and turned his face Ruo Frost scolded.

"My lord..." Duan Kang'an hurriedly prepared to kneel in front of the magistrate to intercede for Jiang Ling.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ling came to the magistrate first. She bowed deeply and said to the magistrate, "My lord, have you forgotten what you just said? Didn't you say that the money is at my disposal?"

The magistrate was stunned for a moment, and his face became even more ugly. After all, no one dared to speak against him so boldly since he took the position of magistrate.

"My lord, I actually did nothing to find out about the refugees. First, it was Zhao Qianyu who wanted to protect my daughter. Second, they threw themselves into the trap without knowing what to do. In the end, the county magistrate Duan led the yamen servants to take away the refugees' lair. Come on, I don't even count as a whistleblower!"

"My lord, if you really want to reward meritorious deeds, I'm afraid Zhao Qianyu and the magistrate Duan will also reward them one by one. I know that you are a good official who is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. The wife of the people dared to guess that the reason why you rewarded me like this is not Is it also for the good of County Magistrate Duan and Zhao Qianyu?"

Jiang Ling's words made the surroundings immediately quiet down. Even the well-informed magistrate didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Ling's words. He coughed and said, "Mr. Jiang, since you have guessed what I am thinking, then tell me, why did I do this?"

Jiang Ling smiled inwardly after hearing what the prefect said. She knew that the prefect didn't know what she meant by what she said just now. Jiang Ling rolled her eyes and continued.
