Chapter 16: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
When the people around heard this, they all took out their purses and began to collect money.
You must know that one or two pieces of silver can buy five stones of rice, which is enough for an ordinary family of four to eat for a year, although everyone thinks that this is expensive, they are still willing to help Mu Bingyue.
As soon as the monkey in the field saw that someone was taking out money, he inertly held the gong across his chest, and shouted excitedly to come forward to collect the money.
When the man leading the monkey saw it, he couldn't help but look at his boss, and only after getting the signal did he let go of the rope in his hand, and as soon as the monkey was released, he happily gathered around the field holding a gong to collect money.
Wang Cheng saw that everyone was helping, and on this occasion today, he was not too stingy, but fortunately, there were people in the big heads, and he couldn't miss too much, but fortunately, this time Tian Ding and others gave He Yi Wei hurriedly shouted: "The official who is not enough is out." β
Everyone applauded when they heard it, Mu Bingyue also put the purse up, and after the monkey turned around, he handed over the gong in his hand to the man holding the rope.
The man took it and counted it carefully, and reported: "Eighty-two two fifty-three texts, and there is still a shortage of seventeen twenty-four hundred and forty-seven texts." β
When the county magistrate heard that there was still a shortage of seventeen taels of silver, he had to take out nearly four months of moon silver, and his heart was dripping blood, but he couldn't regret it at the moment, and reluctantly smiled: "This official will send someone back to get it." After saying that, he told his subordinates to go back and get the money.
"The people's daughter waits for the grace of the lord", Mu Bingyue took the lead in worshipping, although she is a girl and her size is very small, but everyone has regarded her as an example, so they all saluted.
When the county commander saw it, he stopped the bleeding heart, added a little grace to his face, and waved his hand to tell everyone to get up.
Mu Bingyue didn't get up with everyone, and continued, "My lord, that little girl is extremely seriously injured and should be treated quickly. β
Everyone echoed one after another, and the county magistrate was afraid that he would have to pay for the medical expenses in a while, so he hurriedly said: "You saved the little girl, and you are in charge of everything." β
Mu Bingyue couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and she wasn't annoyed.
She Langzhong, who usually treats Mu Bingyue, happened to be in the crowd, and after receiving Mu Bingyue's signal, he hurriedly stepped forward to treat the little girl who was still unconscious, and Shen Xue and Li Tong also stepped forward to help.
The county order's family arrived quickly, and when Lang Zhong bandaged the little girl briefly, he also arrived.
The county magistrate motioned to the man to Shang Chun, and then motioned to the family to release Zhong Cui.
Zhong Cui got up and brushed the soil on his body, glared at the family fiercely, and then swayed towards Shang Chun.
Shang Chun ignored her, took out a stack of papers, found out Qiya's deed of sale, looked at the county order and then at Mu Bingyue, as if he didn't know who to give it to.
Mu Bingyue smiled, walked over and took the deed of sale, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, she took a closer look, and after confirming that it was Qiya's deed of sale, she tore it up in public.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they immediately reacted and applauded.
Wang Cheng was also stunned for a moment, but he did not show dissatisfaction.
When the woman saw it, she pursed her lips disdainfully, looked at Shang Chun holding a purse full of silver, and looked at Mu Bingyue proudly, announcing that she was the final winner. And Shang Chun can be regarded as admitting that she is his wife in front of everyone, although she was interrupted, but for the sake of silver, she didn't care about being humiliated in public.
This time she made a lot of money, Zhong Cui couldn't help but secretly think about how she would calculate this ransom with Shang Chun.
Mu Bingyue called Shen Xue, who was full of dissatisfaction, and whispered to her to help the unconscious little girl to the hospital first.
Zhong Cui Leng watched Qiya being helped away, and felt even more proud, secretly admiring that he saw the three eagles today, and this time in addition to the hidden danger of Qiya, his heart was very happy, and he didn't care about Shang Chun's indifference to her.
Mu Bingyue looked around at the crowd that was looking at Zhong Cui dissatisfied, the corners of her lips twitched, and when she saw that she couldn't see Shen Xue anymore, she said loudly: "Mother Tong, you go and bring our Arctic Fox." β
Li Tongxian didn't understand why the little lady stopped her from helping her daughter, but now she understood everything, and she walked towards the arctic fox with a smile.
When the woman heard this, her triumphant face suddenly changed to shock, and she looked at Mu Bingyue in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Shang Chun was also anxious when he heard this, he couldn't calm down anymore, and changed his voice and said, "Why is it yours." "That arctic fox he bought at a high price, and he offered it like an ancestor every day, and it ate better than his.
However, he folded it in her hand again and again, and he had no confidence to speak, his heart was also up and down, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Mu Bingyue sneered in her heart, she was not in a hurry after saving people, and said slowly: "Your wife said that the reason why this ransom is so high is because of the Arctic Fox, since Qiya and the Arctic Fox are one, we have paid the ransom, and the Arctic Fox is naturally ours." Do you think so? β
Everyone was already dissatisfied in their hearts, and when they heard Mu Bingyue say this, their hearts were already happy, and they said in unison: "Yes." β
Shang Chun's face suddenly turned into the bottom of a black pot, he looked around, and saw that everyone was gloating at him, his eyes were surging with anger, and after ordering the thugs to stop Li Tong, he knelt on the ground, bowed to the county commander and said in a loud voice: "Please be the lord, this girl is clearly a strong word, and I ask the adult to be in the next justice." β
Wang Cheng didn't want to be angry, so he opened his mouth and said, "The official also heard what your wife said. β
When Shang Chun heard this, he almost crushed his steel teeth, and said ruthlessly, "She is not my wife, my wife is leaving the city." It's just because of the love of my fellow villagers that I pity her as a weak woman, and I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand the thirty canes of punishment......"
"So...... You just lied to the adults, do you know that the county order is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and if you lie to the adults, you are lying to the emperor, and the crime of bullying the king can be punished by the nine clans. "Strong words? She was going to open his eyes.
When Shang Chun heard this, he exclaimed urgently: "My lord, I am confused at the next moment, I don't mean to deceive, and I ask my lord to make a clear judgment." β
"Clear? According to your meaning, the adult is unconscious? What the adult just sentenced was a confused case? Mu Bingyue snorted coldly, pressing step by step, she didn't want him to escape from the trap.
said that it was a crime of defrauding the king, which was indeed a bit outrageous, so she could only provoke him to find a loophole, and now that she found it, she would not give him a chance to make up for it.
Shang Chun's mind was racing sharply, but he couldn't find a way to get out, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word to refute it, and stared at Mu Bingyue like a murderer.
Mu Bingyue just didn't see it, and turned to the county order: "My lord, this person not only slandered your wise decision, but also reversed his word, obviously wanting to tease the adults and play with the people, he should be put in prison as a punishment, otherwise in the future, wouldn't anyone be able to question the wise decisions of the adults?" β
Shang Chun traveled from south to north, and he was the best at dealing with people, but now he was repeatedly restrained by a girl, which made him have the heart to kill.
He knew that the county commander and everyone were helping each other, and he couldn't please him today no matter what. Inevitably, he put himself in it, and seeing the situation in front of him, he had to beg for mercy: "...... It's in the confusion, the adults are clearly decided, it's the Arctic fox who is reluctant to be with him for many years, and the words are inappropriate, offending the adults, and asking the adults for forgiveness. β
Now that he really lost his wife and broken his soldiers, Shang Chun didn't argue, and lowered his hand and said, "That arctic fox should be given to her." β
When Wang Cheng heard that he also wanted the snow fox, he also knew that the girl had a sharp mouth, and if he proposed to want the fox, he was afraid that the girl would make him bleed profusely. After thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to provoke, so he said lightly: "If you know your mistake, this official will be magnanimous, spare you, and remember that you must not make it next time." β
Shang Chun endured the bleeding heart, did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xie." β
Wang Cheng hummed coldly.
Zhong Cui heard that Shang Chun abandoned himself without hesitation, he was depressed, after hearing Mu Bingyue's repeated attacks, he was already contemptuous of Mu Bingyue, and he didn't dare to say anything more for fear of attracting Mu Bingyue's attention, and seeing that the county order was not being pursued, he hurriedly walked back.
Shang Chun's heart was furious, and there was nowhere to vent the raging sea, and when he saw Zhong Cui's back leaving in a hurry, he was even more angry, and finally walked away regardless of the impact.
Shang Chun's many thugs followed closely at first sight.
Only a few jugglers were left in the same place, and those few people were looking at me and I saw that you didn't know what to do.
Listening to the county order Wang Cheng shouted in a deep voice: "Go on, the official has paid." β
When those people heard this, they didn't delay, and they played with each other.
Wang Cheng sat back in the chair proudly, glanced at the concubine with a smile, and was about to say a few words to Mu Bingyue, but saw that the person was gone.
After Li Tong took the cage containing the arctic fox, Mu Bingyue took her mother and left, taking advantage of the prestige of the county order, she didn't want to do the matter of demolishing the bridge in the river, especially if it was an official, she couldn't afford to provoke it and could only hide.
When Mu Bingyue and the others came to the medical hall, Shelangzhong had already re-bandaged Qiya, but Qiya was still asleep.
Lieutenant Sherlang sighed and said, "This girl has suffered a lot of crimes, and at a young age, I don't know how those people can be ruthless?" β
Mu Bingyue looked at the person who was still asleep on the bed, probably because of malnutrition, the girl on the bed had a pale face, although she seemed to be the same age as Shen Xue, but her body was much smaller, and she was as thin as skin and bones.
Li Shi took the girl's hand, and saw that the arm between the sleeves was covered with bruises, Mu Bingyue saw that her mother was sad, and she wanted to comfort a few words, but a trace of thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
She turned her head to look at the girl, the girl was the same age as Shen Xue, although her face was not good-looking, but she could not hide the delicate posture between her eyebrows, and she was afraid that she would be one in a hundred when she grew up.
Mu Bingyue was secretly thinking in her heart, so she didn't notice the way Li looked at her and stopped talking.
"Mom, go hire a carriage." After Mu Bingyue finished speaking to Li Tong, she looked at Shelangzhong again: "Trouble Shelangzhong to pack some wound medicine." β
"Is Miss Mu going to take this little girl in?" Seeing that Mu Bingyue had ordered someone to hire a carriage, she couldn't help asking.
"Anyone who has signed a deed of sale is expected to have no relatives, although the family is not rich, but it is still okay to give food to eat." After Mu Bingyue finished speaking, she saw that her mother did not say anything against it, so she let go of her heart.
After a while, Li Tong hired the carriage back, and everyone carefully carried Qiya into the carriage, took the medicine wrapped in Shelang, and got into the carriage.
