Chapter 33 Tips
"Sir, someone outside the county government office asked me to give you a letter!"
"Oh? Who will give me the letter?"
When Shen Yu returned to the county government office from hiding Sun's family, the bailiff quickly handed him a letter. Shen Yu frowned slightly after taking the letter and opening it.
The letter described in detail how the prefect and his advisors planned and when they took action. It almost told him clearly that they were the ones who helped him, Shen Yu, behind the scenes.
If the other party did good things without leaving a name, Shen Yu could still express gratitude to him from time to time. But now he was clearly told that we helped him, and he was afraid that he was being too attentive to him in exchange for a favor, which made Shen Yu feel a little uneasy.
"Wangyun Tower!" The person in the letter invited him to meet at Wangyun Tower. Although he didn't know what the other party was planning, the other party had helped him after all , so he had to go there out of both moral and legal reasons.
When they arrived at Wangyun Tower, it was already dinner time. Wangyun Tower was the best restaurant in Bai'an County. In the past, Wangyun Tower would have been crowded at this time, but now it was deserted. Only a few people were sitting on the second floor, obviously waiting for him!
I hope this isn't a Hongmen Banquet, but even if it is, he's not afraid! He gripped his sword, a strong sense of confidence emanating from inside and outside. He was no longer the weak scholar when he first arrived.
"Lord Shen, long time no see!" Seeing Shen Yu coming, the girl sitting in the main seat smiled, like the warm sunshine in early spring, which made people's hearts tremble.
However, Shen Yu was somewhat puzzled. He could count the pretty girls he knew on one hand, but he didn't seem to know the one in front of him. But for some reason, he felt a little familiar with her, but he forgot when he had seen her before.
Is it a common problem among men that when they see a pretty girl, they feel like they have seen her before? No way, am I such an unreliable person?
"Lord Shen, you wouldn't have forgotten me, right?" Seeing Shen Yu's reaction, the girl felt somewhat helpless. She thought to herself that her face wasn't so common, how could people not remember her?
"Master Shen, think carefully. I was surrounded by people from the Flying Tiger Hall that day, but you, Master Shen, helped me out!"
"Miss Lu Siyu, it turned out that it was the girl who came to help!" After being reminded of this, Shen Yu immediately recalled that there was a little difference between the girl in front of him who was as bright as spring sunshine and the embarrassed figure that day.
"Thank you for your help this time, Shen Yu is very grateful!"
"Just thank you? That's it?"
"What else can I do? I am penniless and have nothing. I am all alone. Apart from saying thank you, I have nothing to repay you. I can't repay you with my body. I am a serious man. You can ask me to smile but I can't sell my body to you!"
After teasing her subtly, Shen Yu was also full of vigilance at this moment. Although she helped him, he couldn't do anything that violated his principles, not even the honey trap!
Of course, if you really want to pledge yourself to me, then I can consider it. He won’t mind!
"Bah, who cares about your body! Forget it, you have helped me before, so let's call it even. Although your character is not very good, you are indeed a good official, and you should not be wronged like this!"
"Thank you for the compliment, girl!"
"No need. If you hadn't stayed on the riverbank for several days without sleep, do you think I would help you? You are being too sentimental!"
"Miss, be careful with your words!" At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent next to Lu Siyu suddenly spoke, attracting Shen Yu's attention. Suddenly, Shen Yu quietly became alert.
Just now, he didn't notice anything strange about this person, and he subconsciously ignored him after he came in. But at this moment, when he observed the other person again, Shen Yu felt a sense of danger.
A master, and a very high one at that!
"I wonder who this gentleman is..."
"My last name is Chen!"
"It's Mr. Chen. Nice to meet you. I'm sure I can't do without your help. Thank you for your help!"
"It's okay. Lord Shen is young and promising. Even without me, he can turn danger into safety!" After complimenting Shen Yu, Mr. Chen said, "But Lord Shen still needs to be on guard. If the other party fails in one plan, they will definitely come up with another one ! And now in Changling County, there is an urgent matter!"
"Mr. Chen, are you talking about... floods? Refugees?" Instantly, this term popped up in Shen Yu's mind. It had been raining heavily for a few days, and the riverbanks along the way were shoddy. Shen Yu worked tirelessly in Bai'an County, but other places were not spared.
The floods will inevitably lead to the displacement of people everywhere. The influx of so many people will be a shock to any place. If you are not careful, it will cause a big disaster.
"Yes, it's the refugees!" He nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect that the other party would think of it immediately after he mentioned it. This young man is really not the kind of pedantic scholar who studies hard. If is trained properly, he may become a strong arm beside the adults one day.
However, he still needs to be tested, and he is not qualified now!
"I wonder if Lord Shen has any solution to this problem?"
"This is simple. We can use work-for-relief to organize refugees to build riverbanks, widen roads, and reclaim wasteland. This will not only allow refugees to have enough food, but also build projects that benefit the people. It will also keep refugees busy and prevent them from causing riots due to doing nothing!"
"Work-for-relief? Great!" It was not until this time that Chen Xianshen really looked Shen Yu up and down seriously. The fiery eyes made Shen Yu's hair stand on end. He felt like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
"What if the refugees start a dispute and cause civil unrest? What will Lord Shen do?"
"Oh?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. He clearly felt that the other party was pointing at him. Since ancient times, the refugee problem has always been a big problem. If you are not careful, it will cause a big riot. I don't know how many people have fallen into it.
In order to quell the civil unrest, the imperial court will not be lenient towards the so-called culprits. They will first kill them to quell the civil unrest, so as to prevent so many refugees from being used by those with ulterior motives and causing greater chaos.
According to Shen Yu's understanding and this encounter, it is completely certain that the prefect of Changling County is definitely an old scoundrel. It is not surprising that a son can wantonly slaughter innocent people for the sake of practicing martial arts, and a father can do anything for revenge.
Especially since these displaced people are already fragile inside, with a little guidance they can incite civil unrest for their own use, and easily achieve their own revenge goals without shedding blood.
"In a chaotic situation, severe punishments should be used!" Shen Yu took a deep breath and said quietly, "If someone deliberately stirs up a dispute and causes civil unrest, we should strike hard to deter the refugees. Then divide and win over them, and defeat them one by one!"
"Okay, you should make a decision when necessary, not bad!" After hearing Shen Yu's answer, Mr. Chen couldn't help but applaud and seemed quite satisfied. At such a young age, he was decisive and did not drag his feet at all. He was a man of action.
If this were put on an ordinary pedantic scholar, he might think of influencing them with love and righteousness. Bullshit, I can't even get enough food to eat, who would listen to your nonsense.
If civil unrest is not extinguished in time at the beginning, it will only get worse. After all, panic is contagious!
"It seems that Lord Shen is confident, but Lord Shen still needs to be careful. After all, one should always be on guard against others!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chen. I wonder if you have ever heard a saying! Those who cannot defeat you will eventually make you stronger!"
Shen Yu smiled gently , and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes, as if a strong confidence emanated from his body. And this kind of confidence also made Mr. Chen opposite him speechless for a long time.
"Well said. Bai'an County is blessed to have an official like Lord Shen!"
"No, no, Mr. Chen, you are too kind. Mr. Chen is truly knowledgeable and talented, a peerless talent!" Hearing Mr. Chen's compliments, Shen Yu felt guilty, as if he had been pretending too much!
"Master Shen, Uncle Chen, is it really okay for you two to flatter each other like this?"
