After a small friction, everyone went about their own business again.

The six strong men looked out frequently, secretly and vigilantly staring at them.

The porters had already cooked the porridge and asked Mu Feng for instructions. Mu Feng stirred the porridge in the pot, looked very satisfied, and said, "Since the porridge has been cooked, let's eat it with a bowl of dry cakes for each person." ”

Childe spoke, everyone happily took out the dishes and chopsticks and ate together, a bowl of hot porridge down, and everyone's fatigue was reduced a lot.

After dinner, the heavy rain outside still didn't stop, as if there was a tendency to get heavier and heavier. Mu Feng was bored with the charcoal fire, and he added a piece of wood, which caused the fire to be more vigorous, crackling and crackling, singing and harmonizing with the thunder.

The six big men let out a rude snoring sound, and everyone was a little strange, and said, "Weren't these people quite cautious just now?" Why are they all asleep again? ”

"It shouldn't be pretending, if we are led over, maybe there will be another reason to find us to exert power."

Mu Feng gestured to silence them and explained, "These people don't look like darts or vendors, and I suspect they are also bandits. The goods were soaked with such heavy rain that they didn't dare to take them out for inspection, it should be something that could not be seen. I first added an antidote to the porridge and threw fuel into the fire that would put people to sleep. ”

Since the accident in the family, Mu Feng has to rely on a large amount of medicine every night to make himself fall asleep, so he always carries such items with him.

Several people pried open the cargo box guarded by the six big men. When the lid was opened, the faces of everyone present were moved. It was a full box of silver, glowing with a silvery sheen in the dim light of the fire.

There was a porter who couldn't control himself as soon as he got off, so he picked up a silver ingot and bit it: "Hiss~ This is actually true!" Real silver! I've never seen so much silver in my life! ”

Everyone's faces couldn't help but show a look of greed or eagerness, Mu Feng picked up a piece of silver and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is official silver, these people don't have an official mansion, how can they transport official silver?" ”

Hearing that this was official bank, everyone regained some sanity. Recently, floods in the Yellow River basin have caused many people to be displaced. The imperial court allocated a large amount of silver for the government to clean up the banks of the Yellow River and help the victims. I thought that this silver was used for disaster relief, but for some reason it ended up in the hands of these bandits.

"There's a good chance they'll have accomplices, so it's not appropriate to stay here for long." Mu Feng ordered the thieves to be tied up, gave up some of his dowry, and carried this heavy box of silver to report to the official.

The night was dark and there was no way out, and the pouring rain was like a whip on the body. Mu Feng even abandoned the sedan chair and ran to the nearest county with Liang Miaomiao on his back.

Perhaps it was because he rarely did physical work, and it was very difficult to carry people, and he had to fall down several times. In spite of this, he did not squeak, for the burdens of the bearers were no lighter than his, especially the box of silver, which was so heavy that it made people panic.

Liang Wei couldn't bear him to be so hard, and hurriedly said: "Son, let me down here, my house is near here." ”

"Nonsense." Mu Feng said sullenly: "Where is the village in the wilderness here? You're a girl, and you're still injured, how can I leave you alone. ”

"Then let me down, I'm just a skin injury, and I can walk on my own."

Maybe it was really at the limit of her physical strength, Mu Feng put her down, hugged half of her body, and let her put her arms on his shoulders.

"The girl must have thought she was being reckless." Mu Feng dragged him forward tiredly, and the vague city gate could already be seen in the dark night.

Liang Wei nodded unabashedly: "Childe can completely avoid this matter." With so many silver taels, the government will not fail to check. If you offend those bandits, business will not be easy to move around in the future. ”

Those bandits who dare to rob with real knives, bandits who lick blood with knives, are different from people like her who cheat others out of a few taels of silver.

"But I can't sit idly by, I can't watch these people make a fortune. By the time the government really realized that there was a shortage of silver taels or began to investigate, the life-saving money had already been spent. If there is no evidence, they will only rush things and close the case perfunctorily. ”

Liang Wei's heart was like a mess of twine, and he couldn't help but think of himself as Mu Feng in his mind, imagining everything he had experienced back then.

The heavy gates were wide open, like a beast lurking in the darkness with its bloody mouth open, revealing a deep throat.

Maybe it was raining for too long, and the moment she stepped in, Liang Miaomiao felt cold all over her body.

Soon the rumbling drums sounded in front of the yamen, and the deafening drums were the idea to wake up all the sleeping officials and county officials.

It was Mu Feng who beat the drum, he beat the drum desperately, quickly and powerfully, and the rain fell on the drum and was played high by him and opened, like a cold flower that bloomed angrily.

Those officials didn't want to pay attention to it, but their eardrums shook and hurt, so they ran out in embarrassment with their clothes and oil umbrellas.

The official shouted viciously: "Diao Min! Drumming in the middle of the night to find death! ”

They are all fierce and vicious, but they want to clean up these foolish people who disturb their good sleep and are not interesting at all.

Wei Feng opened the box containing the silver and said loudly: "I want to report to the official, we found a group of bandits transporting official silver outside the city." ”

With so much official silver, the officials' eyes widened, and they stammered and shouted: "Quick! Quick, go and call the master! ”

They gathered Mu Feng, Liang Wei and the porters in a circle and said, "No one can leave, move all the things in first, and everything will be decided when the master comes!" ”

The officials escorted them to the hall where the fairness and honesty were hung, and the county officials came in a hurry, not even wearing their official uniforms, and draped them on their bodies in a mess.

He sat down in the hall and slapped it hard with a startling wood, and shouted angrily, "Who is down there?" ”

"Mu Feng, the grass people, I just saw a group of people in the abandoned temple in the suburbs with strange expressions, and then found that they actually smuggled official silver, thinking that they had stolen the silver taels for disaster relief, so we tied them up and hurriedly reported to the official."

"How many of these boxes are they?"

"Only one box is official silver, and the rest is the dowry that I am going to marry."

The county official sneered: "You thieves are so bold, you dare to rob the yafu at night, come to people, put them all in prison, and then interrogate them when I have raised enough elites." ”

The minds of the people in the hall were blank for an instant, and in the short dead silence, everyone's eyes were full of disbelief, until a servant came up to detain them, they reacted and shouted loudly: "Wronged! ”
