Chapter 87: Ling Chaofeng's doubts

Xiaowan opened her eyes, got up from the bed and rushed to the door, wanting to see if her wish had come true, but Ling Chaofeng grabbed her back and said, "You just ran out like this?" ”

She leaned down on the window and looked down, and sure enough, she ......

The couple quickly dressed neatly, and when they went downstairs, Aunt Zhang of Ershan also came out, opened the door of the store, and saw more than a dozen people lying on the ground in front of the inn.

"Xiaowan, look, is that the guest who stayed in our store last time, and that person is collecting antiques at the entrance of the town." Su Su ran over and said excitedly and scaredly, "As soon as we arrived, they were lying on the ground, and they didn't know where they came from. ”

Ling Chaofeng stepped forward to check, and sure enough, even the two guests from before were there, although he closed his eyes, he could recognize that there were those who collected antiques at the entrance of the town, those who sold antiques in the mountains, and those who raised prices, and those who were willing to break through the empty door.

Xiaowan ran to the stable and shouted behind her: "Xianggong, come and see." ”

And when they came after them, they saw a chest resting at the foot of the horses, which could not be moved, and in them were all kinds of money bags, each of which contained a different amount of silver, which must have been stolen by them.

Aunt Zhang looked back and forth, and Amitabha Buddha recited: "This is the manifestation of the Bodhisattva, or which hero secretly helps, how can there be such a good thing in the world." ”

Everyone was very happy, and Xiao Wan was even more so, proudly untied a money bag, checked the silver ingot inside, and said, "Now that faint official, there is nothing to say." ”

Ling Chaofeng looked at her silently, and the others didn't seem to realize that because they were happy, why did Xiaowan know that there was this box in the stable, and what did she tell the heavens when she knelt in front of the window last night? As soon as she woke up, she seemed to know what might have happened, and she was so excited and confident that she was about to run out to see.

"The shopkeeper should be sent to the yamen or sold to slave traders." Uncle Biao asked.

"Let me think about it, you first tie them all up and pile them up in the backyard so that no one else can see them." Ling Chaofeng said that, and went upstairs alone.

Xiaowan followed all the way and said happily: "Xianggong, now look at how they make things difficult for you." ”

Ling Chaofeng was inexplicably serious: "Is it really the Bodhisattva's manifestation, or which friend on the road helped me, this is all a later story, now I have to think about how to deal with the county master." ”

Xiaowan was a little weak-hearted, afraid that Ling Chaofeng would see something, and she was indeed too excited, did she arouse Xianggong's suspicion? If Xianggong asks her what to do, if she can't say clearly, can she confess the magic of the jade ring, that's not okay, she still wants to keep this ring.

She made up her mind, no matter what, she pretended to be stupid and didn't know.

"Late, late." Ling Chaofeng stopped and looked at his wife deeply.

"Huh?" Xiao Wan struggled to make herself look fine.

Ling Chaofeng's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he put his wife's beautiful face in his eyes, and he suddenly felt that he was very excessive.

He was thinking about something, maybe Xiaowan was looking around because of curiosity to see the box in the stable, or maybe she really made a wish to God, thinking that it could be realized, she has always been so lively, everything is worth being happy for a while.

And he knows the details of Xiaowan best, the abused daughter of Foreman Mu's family in Qingling Village, that's all.

Ling Chaofeng was in a trance, and the strange feeling ran out again, but every time it was a moment, he would only feel it consciously, and it had been repeated many times. But in an instant, I didn't feel anything, and I returned to normal. He wouldn't think about what was going on after that feeling had passed.

What's more, right now, he is feeling his crankiness, sorry for Xiaowan.

"I'm hungry, go and let Uncle Biao make breakfast." Ling Chaofeng said, "We'll discuss how to deal with this matter in a while." ”

Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, ran downstairs with joy, and shouted, "Uncle Biao, I want to eat noodles." ”

Uncle Biao entered the kitchen, and within a few clicks, he fried a bowl of sauce with noodles, cut cucumbers and shredded green onions, and served them with the mung bean soup boiled last night.

Xiaowan touched her belly and went to the backyard to look again, but those people were still unconscious. Naturally, it was thanks to her.

Yesterday, when everyone was discussing how to arrange these days, Xiao Wan was full of thoughts about how to make a wish to the jade ring in order to get things done in one step.

She has to think about whether these people will see the people and the situation here after they are "caught", and what if there is a mistake that calls who runs away or is released by the confused county magistrate, and what to do in the future to seek revenge.

So, Xiaowan thought carefully about all the details in her mind, and made a wish in one breath, for example, this group of people is unconscious, and when the matter is resolved, they will naturally wake up, which is also her arrangement.

Now, she won't do the stupid thing of turning Su Su and Aunt Chen to the dock and not knowing what to do next, and Xiaowan feels more and more that the owner of her ring must be very remarkable.

Although she often wonders if everything is actually a dream, such as at this moment, she is in a dream.

But everything around him is so real, there is nothing to doubt at all, Uncle Biao's cooking is so delicious, every bite is real, how can it be a dream.

"Late, late." Ling Chaofeng called her and asked his wife to sit back, and the family listened to him quietly, "I will send people to the yamen now, which can indeed solve the trouble of the magistrate making things difficult for us, but there seem to be a few smart people around him, and they may not be able to help him continue to make things difficult for us." First, don't say that in just one night, even if it is three days, this should not be something that ordinary people can do, then there must be something strange in it, he wants to ask us why, but now we don't know it ourselves. If he bites back and says that we are accomplices, how can we excuse ourselves? ”

Xiaowan listened very carefully, Xianggong is Xianggong, she thought she had thought about everything carefully, and sure enough, there were still loopholes.

Ling Chaofeng continued: "Second, even if he believes that we have nothing to do with these people, he will think that if we are so neat and capable, and if we really have some real skills, then the next time we encounter any trouble, he will do the same, and if we come to us for trouble, we can't clean up the mess for him again and again." ”

Aunt Zhang said: "This time, the important thing is not to let him incite the villagers to make trouble with us, and next time, I will ask Lord Liang to come forward and tell this faint official to get out of the house as soon as possible." ”

Ling Chaofeng sighed lightly: "I have also thought about it, but Lord Tang sent a letter asking me to bear with it, his official donation involves some personal relationships, and now is not the time to let him go." ”

Aunt Zhang sneered: "Could it be that Xinjun is capable of this, the place is unstable, how can the country be stable." ”

Now is not the time to discuss the new monarch of the national policy, Ling Chaofeng naturally will not worry about Aunt Zhang, he said calmly: "We had better think of a foolproof strategy. ”

Su Su said on the side: "It's better to let them do what they plan and go to the town to continue collecting antiques, then at least the antique dealer is real, and it has nothing to do with us." There may be someone else who broke through the empty door, and we will not admit it. ”

Xiao Wan looked at Su Su with a serious face, she felt that Su Su was much smarter than her.

Ling Chaofeng bowed his head, but said: "I have also thought about it, but if our antique dealer here is real, the next time the villagers in other places will be more likely to be deceived, and the next time someone else changes their name and uses the same method, they will harm more innocent people." ”

Xiao Wan nodded violently: "Xianggong is right." ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "I want to do this, save their lives, if they wake up, blindfold their ears and mouth, can't hear, can't see, can't speak, and put them here for three days." Three days later, I went to the yamen to plead guilty, and let the magistrate fall to the county, and early in the morning of the fourth day, we thought of transporting them all to the yamen, as we did today. It doesn't matter who he did a good deed, this favor was given to the county master. What do you see? ”

Everyone cautiously discussed countermeasures, including how to secretly transport so many people to the yamen, and finally decided to do what Ling Chaofeng said, and try to clear up this matter with them.

Ershan thought of one point: "The shopkeeper, if the county magistrate is talking nonsense when he is trying the case, he has to force them to say that he is an accomplice with us, or the county magistrate insists on it and forces us to admit it, how is this good?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Although he may do this, but at that time, the villagers have already taken back their respective money, so they will not all come to the inn to make trouble." From the very beginning, we were not afraid of the county magistrate, but of the villagers who provoked the riots. ”

Xiao Wan was excited, and said casually: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Everyone looked at her and only laughed at her for being simple-minded, but Ling Chaofeng was stunned in his heart, but he tried to keep himself from thinking nonsense, maybe Xiaowan just wanted things to be simple and said it casually.

Naturally, Xiaowan had already made a plan, and she would ask for the ring so that this matter would not have anything to do with the inn.

Three days later, everything was as Ling Chaofeng expected, the magistrate jumped like thunder, but he didn't expect Ling Chaofeng to really come empty-handed, and as if he had lost his mind, he ignored the master's persuasion to take care of the Liang prefect's mansion, so he put Ling Chaofeng in prison.

And he went to Siyun Pavilion to find Yue Huaiyin at night, and even Yue Huaiyin was surprised that there was something that Ling Chaofeng couldn't do.

But she said faintly: "My lord, there is a lot of gold and silver in the inn, so it is better to ask him to come out first to appease the villagers." ”

But the next morning, things took a turn for the worse, and the county magistrate, who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms at home, was woken up by his subordinates, and his clothes were not neatly dressed, so he rushed to the yamen to see, only to see more than a dozen people tied up and thrown in front of the door, and a large mouthful of boxes.

At this time, there were already villagers who came to the yamen to wait for the county lord to give a reply, seeing this situation, they rushed to tell each other, and before the county lord ordered someone to carry the box in and count how much, the villagers were already flocking here.

The magistrate had to endure the pain of the master, return them one by one according to the losses registered by each family, and open another court to try the case, and to severely punish those liars and make a name for himself.

In Qingling Village, at this moment, Xu is humming a little song to cook rice porridge for the children in the kitchen, the aroma is gluttonous, and the two babies don't need to be called today, they will get up by themselves.

She smiled: "It's not fragrant, this is the best rice, and my mother hasn't eaten it a few times." ”

saw Aunt Wang next door rushing from the village, and shouted at her: "Wenbao damn, the money has been paid, the yamen has sent money, you go and get it." ”
