"I... I don't remember very clearly. Anyway, there is a portrait of Miss Shen painted on it. Mom, you can go and see for yourself! Anyway, it's not far away!" Jiang Yaojie scratched his head and said.

Jiang Ling got up and left. Before he reached the gate of the bank, he saw a large group of people gathered around the gate of the bank, and Jiang Ling squeezed silently to the front.

A portrait of Shen Congxin appeared in Jiang Ling's eyes, and below was some basic introduction about Shen Congxin and the place where he disappeared. Jiang Ling couldn't help sneering at the end.

Shen Congxin's stepmother is really powerful, she directly alluded to Shen Congxin's elopement with others and was sold to Yihong Courtyard, so even if nothing happened to Shen Congxin, his life would be ruined!

While everyone was discussing, Jiang Ling quietly left the bank, hesitated for a while and finally walked towards the gate of the yamen.

"Oh, Aunt Jiang, are you here? Are you looking for our lord? Let's go!" Zhao Liu was standing guard at the gate of the yamen today, and immediately greeted Jiang Ling enthusiastically after seeing Jiang Ling's figure.

"Um...yes, I have something to ask your lord." Jiang Ling looked at Zhao Liu in front of him with some embarrassment.

Zhao Liu didn't take it seriously at all, and greeted Jiang Ling and walked towards the inner hall.

At this moment, County Magistrate Duan was discussing something with the master next to him, and he couldn't help being a little unhappy when he saw Zhao Liu coming in. County Magistrate Duan just wanted to scold Zhao Liu, but he immediately smiled when he saw Jiang Ling behind Zhao Liu.

"Let's step back first!" County magistrate Duan glanced at the master and said.

The master nodded and exchanged glances with Zhao Liu when he left the inner hall. Seeing that his task had been completed, Zhao Liu exited the room tactfully.

Only Jiang Ling and County Magistrate Duan were left in the huge inner hall, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. County Magistrate Duan coughed lightly and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Ah, no, I mean you can come here if you have nothing to do!" It was obvious that the magistrate Duan immediately regretted what he said just before he finished speaking, and he quickly explained.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling just pursed her lips and smiled, then said, "Brother, do you know about Shen Congxin?"

"Shen Congxin? I've heard about it a little bit. Could it be that you were also involved?" County Magistrate Duan said while touching his chin.

Jiang Ling nodded and continued to County Magistrate Duan, "If I told you that Shen Congxin is at my house now, what would you think?"

County Magistrate Duan was shocked when he heard this, he opened his mouth enough to stuff an egg in, after a long time Magistrate Duan walked to the window, gently opened the window and looked around , and walked back cautiously.

"Is what you said true?" County Magistrate Duan asked with a tense face and suppressed his voice.

"Yes, Shen Congxin is indeed looking for me!" Jiang Ling nodded, and casually recounted everything about meeting Shen Congxin and asking Zhao Qianyu.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Duan looked in disbelief. He didn't expect this incident to be so tortuous.

"What do you want to do, girl?" Duan County Magistrate said.

"I hope you will keep it a secret. If something goes wrong, you can help me!" Jiang Ling said this very vaguely, but County Magistrate Duan understood.

This was the first time Jiang Ling begged him, and he repeatedly agreed: "No problem, just leave it to me! But I want to ask what your plan is now?"

"I... I don't know, but I absolutely can't let Shen Congxin just sit and wait like this. Now her stepmother just wants her to accept the fact that she eloped with a man and was sold to a brothel!"

"Brother, you should also know that a girl's life's innocence will be ruined if these two are taken out alone, not to mention two such deadly rumors now, even if nothing happened to Shen Congxin, it will be estimated in a brothel. No one will want it!"

"What's more, Shen Congxin's father is also a well-known local businessman, which is undoubtedly making things worse!"

Jiang Ling's words made County Magistrate Duan nod repeatedly, and County Magistrate Duan said to Jiang Ling: "Sister, don't worry, if you really need to use me, just say something, and I will definitely help you!"

Hearing the words of County Magistrate Duan, Jiang Ling's heart eased a little. She nodded and said to County Magistrate Duan, "Thank you, brother!"

Upon seeing this, Duan County Magistrate hurriedly continued to add: "Sister...sister, why don't you stay here for dinner tonight! I'll ask the kitchen to make you some delicious food?"

"No, no, I still have something to do here. Brother, I'll go first. When I came over, I saw you were talking to the master. I guess you have something to discuss, so I won't bother you!" Jiang Ling said. intend to leave.

"First... don't go, I... I have something to say!" County magistrate Duan stopped Jiang Ling and said.

Jiang Ling raised his head to look at County Magistrate Duan, his eyes were burning brightly at this moment, Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat for a while, Jiang Ling lowered his head shyly.

"Sister, what are you growing in your field?"

"Just... that's it?" Jiang Ling couldn't laugh or cry.

She calmed down and said to County Magistrate Duan: "Cotton seeds, my great-grandmother once told me that in fact, after the autumn harvest, some cotton can be planted to raise some ducklings. In winter, the cotton will almost bear fruit, and the ducklings will almost change. Big! At that time, the effect of using cotton and duck feathers to keep out the cold will be much better than that of reeds!"

"Cotton? Is it really too late for this meeting? After all, this meeting is less than [-] days away from winter, is it really too late?" County magistrate Duan asked with some doubts.

"Generally, the maturity period of cotton is 50 to 60 days, even the longest is [-] days, so this time period is completely enough, let alone brother, there is one thing I don't know whether I should talk about it or not!" Jiang Ling said There was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"What's the right thing to say about this, as long as you don't say whatever you want to say to me!" County magistrate Duan comforted.

"My lord, my great-grandmother used to be a student of the Qin Tianjian. She once said that "the summer will be severe and the winter must be cold." I'm really worried that the reeds won't keep warm enough!" Jiang Ling said this with a serious expression on his face, and it was obvious at a glance that Jiang Ling was not joking.

County magistrate Duan showed a serious expression after hearing this. He knew that with Jiang Ling's temperament, he would never lie to himself.He nodded and said to Jiang Ling: "Don't worry, I'll send people down in a while and notify all the surrounding towns!"

Then magistrate Duan chatted with Jiang Ling for a while before Jiang Ling turned and left.

It was time to go back to his shop, and after Jiang Ling packed up his things, he took ducklings and cotton seeds and sat on Uncle Lu's ox cart.

Jiang Ling looked at the duckling on Lu Bo's ox cart and prayed secretly: "It must not be a cold winter! Otherwise, how will the people in the village live!"
