Zeng Qi was caught, but the boatman fled.
Zeng Qi, who had regained his breathing, remained unconscious.
As soon as the ship docked, he was sent to the Inspection Division. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the situation is not good, and whether he can wake up depends on the follow-up.
But these are not Jiang Han's concerns.
The person has been caught, did she go to arrest it herself, or did she help save it, no matter whether she can wake up in the end or not, her suspicion should be cleared, right?
She thought that the suspicion issue was no longer important, and the next important issue was the silver reward.
Although Lord Shen didn't say a number until the end yesterday, anyway, he said yes, then he had to give it to her.
This time it was the person she found herself, and Han Beggar's fifty Wen and Zhou Banxian's remaining half of the money didn't have to be given.
Thinking about it, she felt that although she had tossed all night and her mood was like a roller coaster, the world was still very beautiful.
After coming out of the hut where Zeng Qi was temporarily housed, Jiang Han did not go home, but followed behind Lord Shen all the time. When there was finally no one around him, she immediately seized the opportunity to ask about the silver reward.
"My lord, when will I receive the reward? Let me be clear first, you can't just send me a few pennies just because someone has been caught. โ
Lord Shen glanced at her lightly, and saw that her clothes were half dry, her hair was knotted, and she had no image at all, so she couldn't help frowning.
"Why don't you go back, what kind of body are you walking around like this?"
Jiang Han blinked his eyes, lowered his head and stretched the placket of his clothes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, although the color of this dress is dark, it's actually quite thin, and it will all dry up in a while-no, reward silver, you didn't have a ...... yesterday."
Lord Shen sank his face: "Reward? Hmph, I want to ask you, why did the archers turn around and leave without saying a word when they shouted on the shore? Afraid of being preempted by us? As for it? โ
Jiang Han's smile stiffened, and he said, "I didn't think so, I was ...... at the time I'm in a hurry to chase Zeng Qi! โ
Lord Shen was noncommittal and said, "Didn't you go to the Nanzhen River first?" Why is it on the fishing boat again? โ
"Uh, this...... It's a long story, didn't I find someone else to find out the news? Han beggar, well, a little unbelievable, I received other news halfway. Jiang Han glanced at him cautiously, and seeing that his expression was still ambiguous, he hurriedly explained, "Don't think too much, I didn't mean to let people lead you away, really, I only met the messenger halfway through the road - that is also unreliable, and the news given is also fake...... Fortunately, the boatman's skills are good, and as soon as I heard you shouting on the shore, I immediately turned around and went up, otherwise Zeng Qi would definitely have run away. โ
"Oh? I'm glad you didn't answer, did you? โ
That's not the point, is it? Why do you keep bothering with this question?
Jiang Han touched his nose and muttered: "I, I was in a hurry, chasing talents is the key, anyway, I caught people, what are you doing to worry about some details?" โ
Lord Shen's face was blank, and he snorted coldly: "If you answer, this official will not treat you as Zeng Qi, if more boats chase you, can the boatman escape?" In a word, you have caused so much trouble, and you are embarrassed to think that you are a hero. โ
Why isn't she a hero?
Even if she answered, the Inspection Department dispatched a few more ships to chase after her, and her ship was in front.
The boatman jumped into the river, and there was still a high probability of escaping?
Jiang Han secretly glanced at Lord Shen, and said thoughtfully: "My lord, I know that it usually hurts to take silver outside...... In this way, since I made such a small mistake, I will let you deduct a hundred yuan. โ
That's a good attitude to admit mistakes, right?
Lord Shen choked in his heart in one breath.
He looked at Jiang Han's expectant eyes and didn't say anything for a while.
She didn't realize her mistake at all, and she thought he was deliberately finding fault!
This time there is no danger, but what if it is attacked by mountain bandits?
If she cares about herself like this, won't everyone else be unlucky?
Lord Shen glared at her and said coldly: "Go back and think about it, what is wrong with you, figure it out, and come to receive the reward!" As he spoke, he was about to walk away.
At this time, Liu Dakang came to him.
Zeng Qi caught it, although he ran away as a boatman, but the matter of patrolling the night can be over first, the sky is not yet dawn, everyone can squint for a while, just now he just followed the fifth day of the first month to find a place to settle down and catch the fast.
When Lu Tong led Xiao Song, who did not have a night patrol mission, to chase Lord Shen, he diverged from Lord Shen and went straight to the southwest corner, and he has not returned yet.
After notifying him on the fifth day of the first month, he didn't go with him, so after Lord Shen and they came back, he took care of the logistics.
At this time, the catchers were all settled, and when Liu Dakang was about to go home, he remembered that Jiang Han seemed to have been following Lord Shen all along.
Thinking of the scene on the ship, he became nervous when he boarded. Before he told the master, he still had to look at this girl to make her not ashamed and irritable, so he hurriedly looked for it.
Seeing that she was really with Lord Shen, he suddenly darkened his face, strode over and grabbed her, and reprimanded him with a slap in his face: "Why are you still here?" What time is it, why don't you hurry home and wander around with wet, what does it look like? โ
Jiang Han was a little stunned.
Did this guy eat gunpowder?
She's been a great help!
Arresting Zeng Qi, he is the first merit, and he will definitely be treated differently by the county commander.
"I have something to discuss with Lord Shen, and besides, didn't you go home too? I'm waiting for you to come home with me. โ
"In the middle of the night, can't you wait until tomorrow to ask? You can also tell me, and I'll help you ask the adults. Liu Dakang pulled her behind him with a tiger face, smiled politely at Lord Shen, and said, "My lord, my junior sister, has been a tomboy since she was a child, acting in an unruly manner, very reckless, and you don't know how to be polite, you, you ......" He suddenly couldn't speak, so he had to end his sentence, "Anyway, excuse me, I'll take her home!" โ
Jiang Han was directly stunned.
Which one is this singing?
Drink a few sips of Qinghe water and drink stupid?
Just talk about things, why do you want to belittle her?
Jiang Han shook off his hand unhappily and said, "Brother Kang, I didn't offend you, right?" What are you talking about? Why am I so reckless and don't know how to count? I just asked Lord Shen for a silver reward, but I helped him catch Zeng Qi, and the silver reward was still what he said. โ
"What do you ask for your lordship? If you want to reward the silver, you have to go to the county office to get it, and Zeng Qi's case is personally managed by the county magistrate. โ
Lord Shen, who was originally leaving, was also very uncomfortable after listening to Liu Dakang's words.
Last time he came back from the Jiang family's banquet, Fu Siyu and Lu Tong said in front of him that the Liu family had fallen in love with Jiang Han as their daughter-in-law and wanted to test him. At that time, he also felt in his heart that this might be a good destination for Jiang Han, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable.
But now that he saw Liu Dakang pulling Jiang Han behind him and putting on a defensive posture towards him, he felt very, very responsive.
At this time, hearing the unscrupulous conversation between the two, his face became even more ugly.
What did these two people think of him?
He glanced at Liu Dakang coldly, and said to Jiang Han: "What should be said, I have just finished speaking, come to me again after you figure it out, you come by yourself, and the silver will be given to you." โ
