Now Yiyang is a county, which belongs to Yuezhou, but because of its geographical location, it is still very prosperous.

They stayed at the best inn in the city, and it can only be said that they were quite lucky, they were still open, but the other shops were already closed, and they would not open until the fifth day of the new year.

This inn is because there is no one in the owner's house, and even his son and grandson are sick and dead, and he feels that his brother is too desolate, so he stays in the store.

It just so happened that there were still customers in the store, a few businessmen who didn't have time to rush home before the year, and then they were all poured in.

But when it was time to keep the New Year's Eve at night, they knew why the five people didn't go back.

It turned out that they had made a lot of goods from the north to sell, and after selling them, they collected three more truckloads of goods from this side to take them back, but they encountered a robber on the road, and the goods were all robbed.

Those people had no intention of killing, but only robbed the goods and let them all go.

Fortunately, they hid some money on them, and it was very hidden, so they still had the money to come here and report to the official here, but this is not a case that can be solved in a day or two, but they can't sit back and eat empty, so they started working in the city for a short time.

They used to live in the big shop of the small inn, but it's not a year, and they were kicked out when the inn was going to close, but fortunately there was still this inn, otherwise they would have to sleep on the streets.

The three truckloads were gone, and they must have to wait for a result, and half of them were borrowed from relatives, so they were embarrassed to go back first for a while.

Thinking that if they don't go back to their homes, they should be able to have a good year, otherwise they will be able to break the threshold if they go back to ask for debts like this.

If they don't go back to their homes, they will think that their goods have not been sold out and delayed, and they will not find the door to do anything bad or say anything bad in order to share a little more profit.

If they go back, I'm afraid everyone will know that they were robbed for the first time, this is a loss of money, and it is impossible not to make trouble.

These are the five people who came out after drinking, the wine was invited by the innkeeper, and even the guys went home for the New Year, and he and their group were left in the store, so they decided to keep the New Year together in the lobby, and prepared a table of good wine and good food.

To be honest, this wine is good now, but it is still far from their monkey wine.

It's just that they don't dare to take it out, after all, the monkey wine is brewed in the formation full of aura, and the fruits used are also grown in it, and there will be some aura in it, plus after they receive the space, the aura in the space is even stronger, making those wines already unusual.

Take it out, in case the other party drinks the change is too obvious, they are not easy to explain.

To be honest, Qian Yan is still quite sympathetic to these five people, and it can be seen that the five people are not the kind of treacherous businessmen, nor are they businessmen, because they are a little too honest.

This is not only seen in their behavior, but also on the faces of several people, after all, she has also learned physiognomy for a while, and she can still see this.

Although the five people wanted to hide, they didn't dare to go back, not that they wanted to repay the debt, but just wanted to see if the government could go to the bandits to help them get the goods back.

The second is that I hope that my family will have a good year, and let my relatives have a good year, otherwise everyone will not have a good year.

Another one of them also knew that there was little hope of waiting for the government to suppress the bandits, and they had to earn some travel expenses here, otherwise they would not be able to walk back after thousands of miles on the way.

Qian Yan felt that they were fortunate to spend this year together, which was also a kind of fate, so she was ready to help them.

It's not that she just gave them money, she hasn't reached that point yet, but she wants to help them get those goods back.

That's right, it's to help them get back the goods that were stolen, although they have been robbed for a while.

After all, they are going to ship it back to the north to sell, which means that they have set aside time to hurry, and it will take a month to return to the north from here, which means that it will take at least a month for those goods to be robbed.

Therefore, it is possible that those goods have been disposed of by those robbers, but as long as they can find those robbers, even if they can't find the goods, they can also get back the silver of equal value, and let them buy some goods to go back, as long as the goods are brought back and sold, the money will be returned.

So I took the opportunity to chat, and asked them where the robber had met, and this excuse was easy to find, and they had to hurry after that, so that they could hide a little if they met.

The five people did not suspect him, and directly told them that the place where the robbers were encountered was really not far from here, fifty miles south of Yiyang County.

Although it is not the direction they will go in the future, it is not very far in fifty miles, and they don't necessarily have to go there in person, there is ugliness, it can directly use its divine sense to get those things back, and when the time comes, it can also send those robbers to the government, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people and doing a good thing.

Of course, in fact, if this thing is done better by pouring Yan or gold, this is a good opportunity to earn merit, but gold is cultivating, and it will take at least a day or two to come and go, so it is really completely unnecessary.

So as soon as they finished talking about the location, Qian Yan sent a message to Chouchou, asking it to see if it could directly use its divine sense to find the robbers' nest and solve them.

Ugly and ugly happily agreed, and directly probed his divine sense over there, and then after a while, he sent a message to Qianyan: "The cottage of those robbers is in the mountains over there, in a valley, the scenery is quite good, and the people are quite lively over there, and it is also the New Year, it is really colorful."

Well? No, okay, the big boss is marrying his daughter-in-law, and he can't complain that the whole cottage is dressed red, this is a step in place for marrying a daughter-in-law for the New Year.

Qian Yan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are those people carrying human lives on their backs?" ”

Although these five people said that those people did not kill people, they may have harmed them before, but now they have changed their ways.

If there were no lives on those people, even if they went to the government, they should not be sentenced to a heavy sentence. Or just take away the property they looted, after all, even if they are sent to the government, those property will be confiscated, and it is estimated that it will not be returned to the owner, and it will be confiscated.

And if they have a life on them, they will not be wronged if they are killed directly, and they can just go to the government directly.

Ugly replied: "Yes, many of them have human lives, this time I didn't kill these five people, it is estimated that I am about to marry my daughter-in-law after the New Year, and I want to kill less."

And because these five people like to do good deeds in their families, they are considered to be from a good family, so they still have some merits to protect themselves, and there are merits.

When Qian Yan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Since this is the case, then send those who have committed murder to the government, and they will harm people again." ”

As for the merits and non-merits, it doesn't matter, anyway, they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

As soon as Ugly Ugly heard it, he agreed, and it happened that those people were drinking, and Ugly Ugly didn't bother to use his divine sense to stun them one by one, and put some drugs in the wine and dishes they were drinking now, and put them down directly.

This medicine is what they have researched by themselves after learning to distinguish herbal medicines, in fact, it is a powder like a sleeping pill, and it will not be put down instantly like what is staged on TV, it will take a little time, after all, it is made of traditional Chinese medicine.

It didn't have a pot, it only took those who had human lives on it and threw them in front of the gate of the county office.

He used his divine sense to control the drum hammer and knocked on the drum in front of the door, and then he didn't care, anyway, those people could at least sleep for one night, and as for causing trouble to other county officials at night, it was not something it had to consider.

This is not only trouble, but also performance, as long as they interrogate these people well, they should be able to interrogate, and those who have not killed anyone, as well as the women who were snatched back by them, are ugly and ugly, and those people should be rescued later, or they should be questioned according to the crimes they committed.

Then Chou Chou went on to talk to them, and asked them how much silver their goods were worth, and whether the three wagons were carriages or ox carts.

Ugly is too lazy to find them back one by one, and it can't be said, more than a month has passed, and it can still be intact, it's too weird, so it's ready to be folded into cash for them to get back.

It just so happens that those people are now arrested, and it still has an excuse, not to find an excuse to give them the silver, but to change it when the time comes, to become a servant, just send them the silver, just say that it is tried, and then these people probably won't think too much, they will only feel happy.

The five people said that the three truckloads of goods were basically the specialties of the south, and the total was probably less than two hundred taels, and the ugly and ugly made a whole for them, and directly got three hundred taels of silver from the bandits' den, which was regarded as compensation for their fright.

It was ready to find an opportunity to send it to them the day after tomorrow, just as they were ready to leave the day after tomorrow.

That's right, they are going to spend the first day of the Lunar New Year here, and they will leave on the second day of the new year.

I heard the boss say that there is a temple fair in Nancheng on the first day of the new year, where you can join in the fun to buy some small things and see some opera performances.

Hearing the boss say that there is a singing opera, she was stunned, she seemed to have heard her grandmother say that the flower drum opera here in Yiyang is very famous.

Grandma and grandma liked to listen to it very much, and they went to Yiyang together to listen to it, and also studied the history of the Flower Drum Opera, which was indeed passed down from the Song Dynasty, but it was banned in the Qing Dynasty, and it was later released.

But it is said that it was only available from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that it was already available here, and this is ahead of schedule.

Forget it, she doesn't bother with the direction of history now, anyway, this side is not the same as the world she is in, so it should be a completely different time and space.

Because it is not popular to eat dumplings here, they start chatting after eating, and they don't need to make dumplings together, and when they arrive, they hear the sound of crackling firecrackers outside.

Several people also ran to the door with the boss, who had already prepared a few bamboos and poked them at the door.

I lit a fire and put the bamboo in, and soon the crackling sound also sounded.

This bamboo burns much better than the gunpowder smell of firecrackers in later generations, although there is also smoke, and it is very choking when it is close, but only the smell of burning bamboo is far away, and it still smells very good.

Qian Yan looked left and right, because there were some shops that did not open the door, it was still relatively deserted, after all, everyone had gone home for the New Year, and the burning of bamboo must be at home, and they would not come to the shop, so they were the only ones on this street.

However, the voices of other streets in front and behind kept coming, after all, it was not far away, and it was still very lively.

There are also some neighbors who point bamboo, and they speak auspicious words to each other, speaking the dialect here, but they can still understand it roughly, after all, the dialect here in Hunan is actually in addition to some local dialects, but there is a little accent, which is not very difficult to understand.

At least it's easier to understand than Cantonese and Hokkien, of course, Cantonese is no problem, after all, she has often lived in Hong Kong with her mother since she was a child, and she is speaking Cantonese when she is there, and her Cantonese is definitely an accent that locals can't hear.

But Hokkien is not good, unless you look at people's expressions and movements face-to-face, you can know what the other party wants to express, otherwise you can't understand it at all.

When the bamboo was burned, they dispersed, and each went back to his room to rest, and the boss locked the door.

When they went back to the room, they went back with a charcoal basin, they were all in the lobby before, there was no one in the room, and they were afraid of fire, so the room must be a little cold, the charcoal basin was not burned, and the charcoal was added once before, just to get into the house, save it and then re-order.

The boss slept on the first floor, and the five people were also in the Chase shop on the first floor, in order to save money, they were in the upper room on the second floor.

After all, there is no shortage of money, and it must be the best to live.

When they got back to the house, they put the charcoal pot in the middle of the room and went back to the space to rest.

There was no fire in the house before, it was cold and cold, but the space was more comfortable, there was a comfortable place, and there was no need to let yourself suffer.

After returning to the space, they called out the gold and ingots to eat dumplings again, and Tianyan was still from the north, and always felt that not eating dumplings during the New Year was like missing something.

The dumplings were wrapped when they were idle before, and they were put in the ugly place to keep them fresh, and they could be taken out and cooked, which was very convenient.

There are four kinds of fillings, including beef and green onion filling, mutton and carrot filling, pork and cabbage filling, and of course, a vegetarian filling, which is leek and egg.

After that, they chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms.

They didn't get up early the next day, after all, no one came to pay New Year's greetings, and they didn't need to go to other people's New Year's greetings, so there was no need to get up early in the morning.
