Handing over a piece of silver to the thin monkey, the thin monkey took it in his hand and looked left and right, with a face full of surprise, "This is silver, it's the first time I've seen it." After saying that, he gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "It turns out that this silver is really soft, like dried squid." ”

The silver is much harder than the dried squid, Jiang Wanbai wanted to say, but when she saw the two deep tooth marks on the silver, she immediately swallowed the words, leaving only a deep bow.

This thin monkey's teeth are either iron or copper, and he can bite out such two pits at once, with the strength of his teeth, silver is indeed no different from dried squid.

However, it was the first time he had seen silver, which showed how hard the days of this salt city were.

Jiang Wanbai's thoughts were confused, but the thin monkey had already hidden the silver and left like a thief.

In the afternoon, Tian Lao Er and Tian Lao Si drank some rice porridge, and the symptoms of water and soil adaptation finally improved, and they sat in the courtyard with Jiang Wanbai and Jiang Huai to chat.

"Mother, I'm dizzy and weak, am I about to die." Tian Laosi leaned on the wooden stake on the side, and there was a weak way.

"What nonsense, you're not much better." Jiang Wanbai comforted.

"Yes, cousin, you didn't see that when I first came here, the situation was much more dangerous than yours, and I just stepped into the ghost gate."

Jiang Huai told Tian Lao Er and Tian Lao Si what he had said to Jiang Wanbai in the morning with great interest, and finally said, "Cousin, your good days are ahead, don't say such unlucky things." ”

Tian Laosi was originally a little fragile, and he just wanted Jiang Wanbai to calm his heart, but when he heard Jiang Huai say this, he instantly felt full of strength. Yes, they are walking step by step, life is getting better and better, how can he fall now.

The strength of people's hearts is still very strong, at this moment, Tian Laosi didn't feel weak, stood up tremblingly, and smiled with Jiang Huai: "I love to hear what my cousin says."

When I was a child, there was a Taoist priest who said that I had a good face and was a rich and noble life, I didn't believe it before, but now, I think what he said is quite reasonable.

Just like this braised pork, where did you dare to think before, but now you can eat it every once in a while. And this satin, I didn't even dare to touch it before, for fear that it would be damaged and I couldn't afford to pay for it. Now, I also have a satin dress, isn't this a rich life? ”

"Yes, yes, my cousin is so right. In fact, there is no need for this Taoist priest, who can't see the rich and noble appearance of my cousin. "Jiang Huai is the best at flattery, he is now attached to Tang Shaozheng, and to Tian Laosi, this nice word naturally poured out as if he was dying.

Tian Laosi really likes to listen to it, and after a few words, he treated Jiang Huai as if he was a brother, and told him this and that, and the two chatted so lively.

Tian Lao Er still had some city government in his heart, so he didn't join them in the excitement, but asked Jiang Wanbai in a low voice, how is the situation in Yancheng, and when can I start making Zizhi sauce.

Jiang Wanbai said what he had learned, and Tian Laoer, who listened, frowned, "Mother, as the saying goes, a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, and the water in Yancheng is probably not so easy to travel." ”

Jiang Wanbai didn't know this truth, so she was also a little worried.

"Mother, otherwise, let's go back. There is a five-plus leather wine business, even if we don't make this Zizhi sauce, we can live very well......"

"Go back?" Jiang Wanbai's white brows tied a knot. Zizhi sauce, she planned for more than half a year, and she only came to Yancheng for two days, and then went back in disgrace, how could she be willing.

"I'm just saying, I still have to listen to my mother." Seeing that Jiang Wanbai's face had changed, Tian Lao Er was also a little weak-hearted. This is a new problem that he fell after Di Moyun's incident, and he always felt that he couldn't straighten up in front of Jiang Wanbai.

"Let's see." Jiang Wanbai didn't say anything, but her expression had already explained.

Tian Lao Er stopped talking, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and there was a banging on the door.

"What's going on?" These voices were so unkind that Tian Lao Er jumped up in shock.

Tian Laosi and Jiang Huai also stopped their voices and looked at the gate in surprise.

"Hurry up and open the door, otherwise we're going to rush in." The people outside yelled as they slammed on the door.

"Catch fast? Came to arrest us, what did we do? Tian Laosi had a natural fear of the people in the yamen, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.

It was Jiang Huai, who had some dealings with the government, made up his mind and asked Jiang Wanbai, "Auntie, do you see this ......matter?"

Jiang Wanbai didn't know what was going on, but now that she was the backbone of everyone, she naturally couldn't mess up first, "You climb over the wall and climb to the house next door to see if you can escape."

If you can, hurry up and find Shaozheng and let him come. If you can't, it's important to save your life, and don't do anything stupid. She said to Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai nodded, quickly found a ladder, and turned over to the house next door.

As soon as the ladder was put away, the gate was broken down, and several catchers rushed in with shackles and chains. Behind the catch, there was a person who looked like a blood gourd, none other than the thin monkey who had left in the morning.

"Lock up, lock all three." The leader shouted.

The trappers behind him were about to rush up.

"Stop. I don't know which one of our criminals is or which one of our criminals is going to lock us up. Jiang Wanbai lowered her face, straightened her waist, and shouted loudly.

She was so imposing, and the catchers were also a little stunned, and they all looked at the leader.

Wang Jiu looked Jiang Wanbai up and down, and was also a little admired, there was such a character in Yancheng, no wonder the county lord asked him to come and get people in person.

"Old lady, seeing that you are so old, I will sue sù sù sù." As he spoke, he took the thin monkey over, "Do you know this person?" ”

"Acquaintance." When the thin monkey came, someone saw it if it was not in order, and Jiang Wanbai didn't want to lie on such an obvious issue.

"That's good. He stole something from Master Yuan's house, and it is said that this thing is now in your hands. ”

The thin monkey's face was swollen like a pig's head, covered in blood, but he didn't forget to refute, "That's what I bought from Ghost Rock Beach, nine deaths and a lifetime, it is not the Yuan family at all, I was wronged, wronged." ”

Wang Jiu slapped the thin monkey in the stomach hard, and he bent over and squatted on the ground unable to speak, and then he said: "I don't care if you are wronged, I am only responsible for taking people." ”

After speaking, he said to Jiang Wanbai again: "Now you should understand." What about things? Did I take it out myself, or did I let someone search it out.

I advise you to take it out obediently, if we do it, it won't be difficult to look good. ”

Jiang Wanbai then understood what was going on, it turned out that people had no intention of slaughtering tigers, tigers were harmful to people's hearts, and this surnamed Yuan couldn't wait to deal with her.

In fact, it was not to deal with her, after all, she came to Yancheng just now, and she had no grievances with the surname Yuan. What's more, this matter is just a small crime, not enough to be fatal, I am afraid that the surname Yuan wants to lend her to Tang Shaozheng a dismount.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanbai became more calm, "I can go with you, but this torture instrument ......

The emperor once said that my Tian family is a virtuous heirloom, and even gave me a plaque, if I am really guilty, it will be okay to wear this torture instrument, if I am not guilty...... "This shackle and iron chain weigh dozens of pounds together, Jiang Wanbai doesn't want to suffer from this flesh and skin."

The emperor praised this old lady, and those catchers all gasped, their faces became a little embarrassed, and they didn't know whether to apologize to Jiang Wanbai immediately, or continue to arrest her.

Wang Jiu also scolded secretly, he had long seen that this old lady was unusual, but he didn't expect such a big background.

He is also an old fritter in the county office, so he naturally thinks of a lot of things. The current situation is probably that someone is fighting, and he is the pawn. If nothing happens, he can't leave anything good, and if something happens, he will be the lamb who bears the sin.

After pondering his words for a while, he politely hugged his fist and said, "Old lady, you are an understanding person, you should know that I am helpless." If I don't take you back, I'll have to get out of here tomorrow, and I have a big family to support.

If you think it's good, you can come with me. As for this shackle, I believe you, of course you don't have to wear it. ”

Jiang Wanbai also knew that she couldn't escape, so she turned around and told Tian Lao Er and Tian Lao Si not to worry, and waited for Tang Shaozheng to come at home before acting, so she followed Wang Jiu out of the door.

Along the way, Wang Jiu was extremely diligent. From time to time, I asked Jiang Wan if she was thirsty, if she was tired, if she was tired, she would rest for a while.

There were even a few times when he wanted to carry Jiang Wanbai on his back, and Jiang Wanbai was more comfortable than his own mother, looking at the stupid thin monkey, and also looking at the people who were stupid along the way. The fast hunting of Yancheng has always been for the tiger, and the people are not treated as people, how can it be like this today, like a grandson.

In the crowd of onlookers, Jiang Wanbai entered the yamen of Yancheng.

Wang Jiu didn't know whether the county lord knew Jiang Wanbai's identity, so he hurriedly went to find the county lord to get his life, but was told that the county lord went to Yuan's house to drink, and asked him to throw Jiang Wanbai into prison.

He was in a hurry, but he had no choice but to let someone pick up the best cell and clean it, put up a bed, table and chairs, and a new bed, and make the cell the same as a guest room, and then invited Jiang Wanbai to go in.

Jiang Wanbai is not the kind of unreasonable person, so she didn't hate this Wang Jiu at all, but thanked him and calmly entered the cell.

"Old lady, old lady, I want to stay, in the cell next to you. In case something happens, it's not convenient for you to greet me. The thin monkey had already made up his mind to hug Jiang Wanbai's thighs along the way, so he hurriedly shouted.

Wang Jiu looked at Jiang Wanbai, although it stands to reason that this is a female prisoner, and the thin monkey can't stay, but if Jiang Wanbai speaks, he doesn't mind being a favor.

Jiang Wanbai happened to have something to ask the thin monkey, so he said, "Wang Zhutou, look ......"
