I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 260 Very Busy

There was a timid one who saw Shen Xiaoye walking towards him with a smile, and he actually knelt down and said, "Don't catch me, don't catch me, it's him, it's him."

He pointed to a short and stocky boatman, and when he was told to shut up, he quickly said, "He used to do shipping and secretly brought back salt to sell."

When the short and strong Chuan Tian heard him say this, he panicked and raised his foot to kick him, "Stop accusing me of something."

However, the yamen runners were not pushovers. Two of them rushed over from both sides and kicked him down.

I have to say, the title of the Guard Bureau is quite useful, but it's a pity that my uncle cannot enforce his authority in front of others in his official career.

"Oh...it turns out that the Li family's ship dealers are smuggling salt." Shen Xiaoye sneered.

Before she finished her words, several people knelt down one after another. Oh no, they fell to the ground out of fear.

They are all boatmen of the Li family. Once their master is convicted, they will have no way to explain to the boatmen.

Captain Lu was upset. This little girl has never been delicate and weak. She really bites people when she gets angry. The Li family is unlucky. "Send them all in.

You all need to be careful and watch over them. If anything goes wrong with one of them, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Some of the stunned yamen runners heard Lu Touer's shouting and hurriedly drove the people in, focusing on "taking care" of the short and strong boatman.

Shen Xiaoye also followed him in with her hands behind her back, looking so arrogant that she scared the guard who had just taken the money from her and made him want to return it to her.

As soon as they entered the yard, the yamen runners automatically divided the boatmen and laborers into two groups and tied their arms together with ropes so that no one could escape.

Shen Xiaoye was invited in shortly after Captain Lu entered the middle public housing.

She just nodded slightly to her grandfather, uncle and Mr. Pan who were present.

But when facing the Chief Clerk and the Dianshi, he would just bow briefly, show the token, and ask them to wait for the team behind the Guard Department.

Mr. Pan frowned and signaled the Shen father and son beside him not to move.

Shen Xiaoye was so at ease that she sat down and drank tea with everyone. She was taking advantage of the power of others, but the Dianshi could accompany the chief clerk to study seriously, but he could not wait with her all the time, otherwise it would affect his reputation.

Seeing him looking for an excuse to leave, the Dianshi said with a smile: "Miss Shen is really surprising. This can be considered as an official position."

The Dianshi used to be in cahoots with County Magistrate Tan, and had no intention of offending the Shen family. As far as he knew, Shen Changsui was not sent to the barracks to do odd jobs.

That's why he showed more protection to the Shen family when the chief clerk came with him before. Now he has to let Miss Shen in front of him know this favor.

Shen Xiaoye noticed Mr. Pan's slight nod and understood what the Dianshi meant. She smiled and said, "No, no, I am just doing something for Your Majesty to make it easier for me to walk."

The Dianshi also knew that it was unlikely that she would get the official position, he just wanted to start a conversation.

Unexpectedly, this little girl really lived up to the praises given by County Magistrate Tan several times. Not only did she know when to act, but her words also made people feel comfortable.

While they were having a friendly exchange, the chief clerk hurried back to the county government office and went to look for Magistrate Deng again.

After hearing what he said, the old magistrate couldn't help but ponder inwardly, and then asked: "Did the Shen family really touch the illegal salt?"

"I don't know at the moment." The chief clerk couldn't make a conclusion either. He hadn't seen Shen Changsui appear, and he always felt uneasy.

So he said: "The Shen family has two scholars, I think they are sensible.

I am afraid that someone is really doing something wrong. Your Excellency, Linghe County does not have many places for scholars each time. "

"Well, there are people who are jealous of talented people." County Magistrate Deng listened and decided to avoid getting involved with anyone who was involved in this matter from now on.

Shen Xiaoye didn't know that her token had frightened the county's leader.

But when Shen Changsui and a team of imperial guards actually showed up and interrogated all the relevant personnel, her identity was confirmed.

The interrogation was very simple. A group of tall and strong Ti cavalry were intimidated by the boatmen as soon as they met them, and answered whatever they were asked.

Soon after, everyone knew that it was the short and strong boatman who took money from others and secretly collaborated with others to put five bags of salt into different cotton bales when they were staying overnight in Hexiwu, Jinmen.

So, they followed the clues and found out the mastermind behind it.

On that day, the guards asked Captain Lu to help them arrest the head of the family that bought the boatman, who was in charge of the salt

If caught, no secrets can be kept under Sanmu.

As expected, this matter eventually implicated the Li family, and his boss came to see him in person.

Shen Xiaoye: "Would you like to meet your uncle?"

"No." Shen Changsui was very busy and had no time to deal with outsiders. Now that his elder brother was free, he needed to become a disciple.

Mr. Pan had been waiting for this day for a long time. When he saw Shen Changsui giving Shen Changsui his favorite things one after another as gifts to become his apprentice, he said that Shen Changsui was spending money recklessly, but he was very happy in his heart.

After the ceremony of becoming a disciple, Shen Changsui still lived in the school to study hard, while Shen Xiaoye put aside all his business and went to the city to rent a house in advance for his uncle to prepare for the exam.

In order to prevent the weather from suddenly dropping in temperature, she made a vest for her uncle using wolf skin, and she also tried to make at home all the food that could be brought into the examination room.

My grandmother and aunt were so busy that they were exhausted, and they were also worried about the leftover food, so they simply invited my cousin Lin to come again.

In the blink of an eye, it was late August. Shen Changsui, accompanied by relatives and friends, moved into the provincial capital two days in advance.

He first had to go to the examination venue, prepare everything, and report to the examination venue before dawn on the 22nd.

Although they arrived at the beginning of the morning, there were too many students taking the exams, plus their relatives and friends who came to see them off, so the whole street was bustling with people and lights.

Fortunately, Erniu and Zhuangzhuang had arrived here as early as midnight to reserve seats, so Shen Changsui quickly got to the front of the line and was able to get a good seat. He also brought Yue Jinxuan the double seat occupied by the two teenagers.

When the exam started at dawn, everyone in the Shen family stayed outside the examination room and refused to leave.

Mr. Pan couldn't help but go to Shen Cungeng and said, "Your fourth uncle won't be able to come out until the afternoon.

We can’t all wait here.” He stared because Wu Benzhai had more than one reference.

Shen Cungeng agreed with this, but in order to persuade his grandparents, he had to ask his cousin for help.

Shen Xiaoye gladly accepted the task. She was originally going to persuade everyone to leave first.

After all, grandparents are old, so they listened to the advice and went back to rest. There were also two teenagers in the queue who had not slept all night and also needed to rest.

She also persuaded Mr. Pan to go back and wait. Mr. Pan was really annoyed by her advice, so he agreed.

Everyone waited and waited, and Shen Changsui was writing furiously in the examination room. When a yamen runner passed by holding the last big question, he wrote down the question and felt relieved.

Because based on the manuscript copied by Xiao Ye, he and his teacher discussed it several times, and combined it with the test questions given by Xue Xuezheng in the capital, they tried to guess several answers.

Today’s question, although not completely correct, is very close.
