Absolutely! My maid was also reborn after traveling through time

Chapter 176 Interrogation by the County Head of Fuxi Hall
Shen Qinglan took a look at him, but he couldn't see anything from his expression, and he didn't know if he was acting to clear the relationship, or if he was really innocent.

"I don't need any help from Mr. Yan for anything else. It's just... I heard that shopkeeper Xin of Heluzhuang in your mansion refused to admit that we had paid for the goods, so that the delivery at the end of the month that was originally agreed has disappeared. See." Shen Qinglan laughed, looked down at the teacup in his hand, and said: "If you really want to help, the county chief is panicked."

Master Yan was stunned for a moment, "There is such a thing?"

He quickly knelt down, Mrs. Yan and Mr. Yan looked at each other, and knelt down too.

"What's the situation, county lord! It's impossible! It's impossible!" said Mr. Yan.

"Our two families have been cooperating for so long, and this situation has never happened before, County Lord! Please look into it!" Madam Yan said.

Master Yan looked at Shen Qinglan with a panicked expression, "County Master, the grass people really don't know that such a thing happened, and when I go back, I will definitely ask you about it."

"So, Master Yan admits that my Shen family has paid for the goods?" Shen Qinglan said.

"On the day the payment was made, the Eldest Master and Eldest Young Master of your mansion signed the invoice with me personally, and my son was there at the time. I have no reason not to admit it!"

"Since that's the case, the county lord doesn't understand. Doesn't shopkeeper Xin of Guizhuang know the payment slip? Doesn't he know my elder brother?"

Master Yan clasped his fists, it seemed that he really didn't know that such a thing happened, "I also ask the county magistrate to give me a day, and the old man will go back and investigate."

Shen Qinglan stood up and said coldly: "I just want to be fair. If Master Yan can't find out clearly, someone will be able to. However, Master Yan, even if you refuse to admit it, shopkeeper Xin is the Yan family after all. people."

"County lord! County lord, we really don't know why shopkeeper Xin did this. Please let the county lord know!" said Mr. Yan.

Shen Qinglan winked at Yan'er, and Yan'er immediately stepped forward to help Master Yan up.

"I also believe in Master Yan's character. I heard from my uncle that our Shen family has cooperated with the Yan family for many years. Master Yan has always paid attention to integrity when doing business. It must be...someone deliberately provoked and framed. Master Yan, Mr. Yan, What is the truth, I hope you can give me an explanation when you visit my brother next time." Shen Qinglan said.

"Yes……"

Shen Qinglan returned to the main seat and sat down, "Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan, please get up quickly. It's getting late today, so I won't keep three people."

"County Lord, I personally selected some supplements, please don't shirk your dislike, just keep it." Mrs. Yan said.

"In that case, I will accept it, thank you, Mrs. Yan."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, the little girl from Fuxi Hall stepped forward to collect the things.

After exiting Fuxi Hall, Master Yan wiped off his sweat, "Take both soft and hard measures, the Lord of Pingyang County is indeed not an ordinary person."

Yan Pengyang supported his mother on the side, and asked, "Father, is the payment for the goods serious? Why did Shopkeeper Xin do this?"

Master Yan snorted coldly, "As the county lord said, the person surnamed Xin may have been bribed."

"It's true that you know people and faces but don't know your heart! Shopkeeper Xin has been in charge of Heluzhuang for three years, and he can do such a thing!" Yan Pengyang said.

Mrs. Yan patted her heart, "Pingyang County Lord is really a great figure, he deserves to be a person who wants to enter the royal family, and he doesn't leave any excuses for people when he speaks and does things. He covers everything, a little girl, how can she be so powerful?"

"That's right, even an adult who has experienced ups and downs may not be so powerful." Master Yan said.

"Father, my son immediately brought the shopkeeper Xin and see what he said! I can give the Shen family an explanation." Yan Pengyang said angrily.

"My son, you still think too simply. Shopkeeper Xin must have many excuses. What Pingyang County Lord wants is not those excuses to get rid of the crime." Master Yan said.

Yan Pengyang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Then what else does she want?"

"Didn't you listen to what he said? No matter what you say, this shopkeeper Xin is a member of my co-recorded Zhuang Yanshi. If shopkeeper Xin really did it deliberately, then who ordered it and what evidence is there? Find a way to find out. Even if shopkeeper Xin's identity cannot be changed from an accomplice to a witness, some solid evidence must be produced to prove that our Yan family has nothing to do with this matter." Master Yan said.

Yan Pengyang thought for a while, "Okay, my son will investigate right away, just as my son also wants to know who is framing us behind our backs!"

Master Yan stroked his beard, "Recently, in the business field, there has been a lot of friction between the four great imperial merchants. The Shen and Wang families are relatives, as are the Xue and Qin families. Neither of us can afford to offend, it's difficult..."

"It's our Yan family, not to mention that it's difficult to survive in the middle, and it's also being used as a knife, it's simply too hateful!" Yan Pengyang said angrily.

"This kind of thing, even if we want to pick it up, it's impossible. After all, we have cooperated with the Shen family for so many years." Master Yan said.

"Father, what do you mean, we want to stand by the Shen family and the Wang family? But there is no support from the Shen family and the Wang family..."

Yan Pengyang was worried. The Xue family had General Huwei, and the Qin family had a servant of officials. There was no one in the royal family. Although the Shen family had a county head, it was only a woman. Without real power, the Xue and Qin families are stronger than the two.

Master Yan glanced at him, "There are real people in the Xue and Qin families, but why haven't we cooperated with them for so many years? It's because they often skimp on doing business and like to bully others. The lord and eldest son of the Shen family are good Good man, you also met the head of the Pingyang county today. A merchant woman, to be able to get the title of head of the county, must have a lot of tricks for a person like her. From now on, the Shen family will be backed by the royal family, and the King of Bing will not rely on shade. Feng Bian was crowned king at a young age, and his strength should not be underestimated."

Yan Pengyang nodded, "Father is still thoughtful."

"Then do you know what to do when you go back?" Master Yan asked.

Yan Pengyang thought for a moment, "Son, go back and ask Shopkeeper Xin to see what he has to say. As long as his reasons are convincing enough, then I will not ask too many questions and investigate in secret."

"Well," Master Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Not only that, the Xue and Qin families can bribe the people under our Yan family, and we can also bribe the people under the shopkeeper Xin."

"Tit for tat, he won't be wronged."

Madam Yan glanced back, "Master, I think we should choose more good supplements to send to Mr. Shen. I think the county lord doesn't care about taking these things today."

"Ma'am, no matter how good things are given, people will not look down on them, and those gifts are not what they want." Master Yan said.

"Whether they like it or not is their business, we still have to give it as a gift!" Mrs. Yan gave him a blank look.

Yan Pengyang held his mother's hand, "Mother is right, the gift still has to be given, and my son will accompany you to see it later."
