Chapter 159 Returning the Gift to the Eunuch, Chi Yu’s Face Turns Red
"Boom! Boom!"
Two firm footsteps came from outside.
Upon hearing this, the county lieutenant and the county magistrate's hearts trembled.
They were afraid that the embroidered spring knife on his waist would suddenly be pulled out and fall on their necks.
But who would have thought that this time, the man in black and red robe came over and actually bowed and clasped his hands together towards the two women in front of them, showing great courtesy:
"Excuse me, who is the Supervisory Commissioner?"
"I." Shen Qian said lightly, stretched out her hand, and took the silver token handed over by the black and red robe attacker.
"I am You'an, the Chief of Revenue of the Liangdi County Supervisory Department." After confirming the Supervisor's identity, the man with the black and red bun knelt on one knee and respectfully introduced himself:
"Greetings, Lord Inspector!"
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant sat aside, supporting themselves on the ground with one hand, and shifted their gaze from the man in the black and red robe to look at Shen Qian with an expression of disbelief.
Horrified:
"Supervisory...Supervisory Commissioner?!"
"Don't make a fuss." Shen Qian waved her hand, signaling the two to be quiet.
Immediately, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant covered their mouths with their hands.
They dare to curry favor with a prince.
But they would not dare to curry favor with the Inspector General who represented the peak of the eunuchs' strength even if they were given a hundred courages.
Ducheng County, also known as Liangdu County, is located at the feet of the emperor and is close to the eunuchs who are close to the emperor. Only they would be crazy to do such a thing.
Not only would they be ostracized by the literati, but they would also be at risk of having their property confiscated and their families exterminated at any time by those ruthless eunuchs.
Who dares to encounter this bad luck?
If they had known earlier that the prince was accompanied by an inspector, they would not have dared to invite him to dinner.
"You An, right?" Shen Qian looked at the black and red robe he was wearing.
Obviously, this black and red robe is more valuable than the one worn by the ceremonial officials that I have seen before, and it feels more oppressive.
The materials are even higher quality.
The clothes they wore were somewhat similar to those of the eunuchs who served around the chief eunuch Liang.
"Yes." You An bowed respectfully. Without Shen Qian's order, he didn't even dare to raise his waist.
"Go to where the princess's soldiers are stationed, and..." Shen Qian was about to speak when she looked at the county magistrate and county lieutenant beside her.
When the two saw this, they immediately understood.
While holding my stomach:
"Um, my lord, I'm sorry!"
"As you are not feeling well, we will remove you first. We have paid for your bill. Please enjoy your meal and drinks."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them rushed out.
I didn't dare stop until I was out of Juxian Building.
Breathing heavily.
The fatter county magistrate now had one hand on his waist and leaned back weakly to relieve the pain in his waist.
"The Inspector... An Inspector was born from this meal." The county lieutenant said with lingering fear.
"How dare you say that? If you hadn't taken the initiative to invite us to the banquet, how could this have happened?" The county magistrate rolled his eyes and snorted in annoyance.
Seeing this, the county lieutenant cursed inwardly: "Did I invite you to my banquet? You, old man, came here with such a thick face, and now you have the nerve to blame me?"
I have never seen such a shameless person.
......
Inside the Juxian Building, Shen Qian watched as the county magistrate and the county lieutenant thoughtfully closed the door when they left, and felt very satisfied: they were very considerate.
Then he continued to say to Si Li You An:
"Where Princess Chi Yu is stationed, there are the heads of nine hundred barbarians."
"I killed him. Please send someone to deliver the barbarian's head to the chief steward Liang in the capital."
"Yan Ming, the land of Salt Lake, Shen Qian from Wangjia Village, Beiyang County, will see you off."
"The method to kill the barbarians is to use the Fire Bull Formation..."
Shen Qian told You An all the barbarians' methods of breaking the formation.
You An's eyes widened when he heard this.
A look of disbelief appeared on his face.
The fire bull formation, one hundred fire bulls defeated nine hundred barbarian heavily armored cavalry. This way of warfare was simply unheard of.
Moreover, this battle resulted in total annihilation, which means that this tactic can be replicated. If used in a large-scale war, perhaps the barbarians could be caught off guard?
Thinking of this, You An's heart was also filled with excitement.
"I will definitely live up to my mission!" You An clasped his hands together, made a salute of devotion and then stepped out.
Chi Yu looked at Shen Qian and sighed:
"Sister Shen is the only one who deserves this kind of honor. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't give it up."
"This method of defeating the barbarians should be presented to Grand Steward Liang. It will surely gain the favor of the new emperor and consolidate his position."
"Okay, eat." Shen Qian said, and personally picked up a piece of food for Chi Yu with chopsticks, as if to shut her mouth.
They were delayed on the way here because Shen Qian took Chi Yu to the Supervisory Office.
However, when Shen Qian and her group arrived there, they did not see You An, the chief clerk of the Supervisory Department.
He left the token behind and asked You An to go back and find him at Juxian Building.
This matter of success was also decided on the way here.
Her identity...is fake after all, and it's against the rules for her to be accompanied by a hundred heavily armored infantrymen.
All of this can only be explained by relying on General Manager Liang.
Therefore, giving the credit to General Manager Liang is the best solution for the current situation.
After a meal.
Chi Yu actually drank too much.
It was clearly she who had been persuading Shen Qian to drink, but in the end, she was the one who did not persuade Shen Qian to drink much, and she fell down first.
Seeing this, Shen Qian asked Wang Wu beside her:
"are you full?"
Wang Wu instantly perked up when he heard his mother's voice:
"full."
"Then go back and get a carriage. Princess Chi Yu can't walk back in this condition." Shen Qian gave a direct order when she saw him stand up.
"Okay, mother." Wang Wu said and ran out excitedly.
Just after a quarter of an hour, it was brought back in a carriage.
It was obvious that he ran there and came back at full speed.
After sending Princess Chi Yu to a good inn, Shen Qian simply stayed in the inn with Xiao Qi.
After having hot water brought over, Shen Qian entered the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.
The state of complete relaxation, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, made Shen Qian fall into a deep sleep quickly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the water temperature dropped.
Shen Qian slowly opened her eyes.
All the fatigue from body and mind is swept away.
But Shen Qian suddenly discovered that there was a pair of eyes in front of her, staring at her with the bucket open.
This sudden eye contact scared Shen Qian.
"Sister Chi!"
"Why...are you running into my bathtub instead of sleeping?" Shen Qian rolled her eyes in reproach.
As a modern person, Shen Qian's ability to accept this aspect is much stronger than that of ordinary ancient women. If she were an ordinary woman, even if she woke up and saw a familiar woman, she would probably be scared to death by her staring eyes.
Chi Yu scratched his head awkwardly after hearing what Shen Qian said:
"Sorry, Sister Shen."
"I just saw that your face is so beautiful. Is Sister Shen really over forty years old?"
"Why does your skin look better than mine?"
"Could those children be adopted by Sister Shen? Sister Shen is only twenty or thirty years old, actually?"
Facing Chi Yu's teasing, Shen Qian pinched her nose:
"Stop teasing me."
"If you want this kind of skin, maybe you can go to the salt lake and take a walk. Maybe your skin will get better."
"Tsk, I don't want to go to the salt lake." Chi Yu couldn't help but shudder when he heard the word "salt lake". He was obviously thinking about the people who came out of the salt lake with their skin peeling off.
But I have never heard that anyone’s skin will get better and their appearance will become younger after peeling!
If this effect really exists, I'm afraid all the ladies and rich girls in Daliang will go crazy for it.
"Sister Shen, please wash quickly. I need to wash too after that. I smell from traveling in the wild." Chi Yu said, turning around and walking out from behind the screen where Shen Qian was washing.
But Shen Qian didn't notice that a faint blush appeared on Chi Yu's face as he turned around and ran away.
