MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 34 Du Yuanwai dares to threaten the county magistrate?
Wealth?
Shen Ningning blinked her round black eyes: "Aunt Liu, what do you mean?"
Sister-in-law Liu took her hand and walked towards the village.
“Several carriages with tall horses came to the village just now, brought by Wang Baotou.”
“Do you still remember that the last time the leper asked two people to kidnap you, but we sent him to report to the official?”
“You guessed it right at that time. The government followed the investigation and found the children they kidnapped and sold a while ago! There was a wealthy family among them, who specifically named you and said that he wanted to thank you personally!”
She said as she and Shen Ningning entered the village entrance.
The villagers of Wuyangyang have blocked the road.
Four neat carriages were parked aside.
Deng Fugui was the first to notice Shen Ningning and shouted happily: "Sister Xiaolang is here!"
The next second, before Shen Ningning could react, she looked at a lady with bright pearls and emerald green hair hurriedly walking towards her.
“Are you Miss Shen?” There was uncontrollable joy on her face.
Shen Ningning nodded slightly.
The noble lady grabbed her little hand and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "You saved my son. I am here to thank you."
After saying that, the lady waved her hand.
Four maids came forward, holding mahogany trays.
When the cloth cover was lifted, there were piles of silver on the plate.
A rough estimate of 200 taels!
The villagers were amazed and envious!
Shen Ningning’s watery eyes sparkled with light.
A lot of silver! You can buy jade!
She was about to stretch out her hand, but she held it back silently.
The little guy shook his head: "Thank you, madam, but it was the village chief and the others who caught the trafficker."
The lady immediately raised her head and boldly commanded: "Give each person in Xiangyun Village five taels of silver!"
After saying that, she lowered her head and looked at the little man with a smile: "I heard from Wang Captou that your life is miserable, so just keep the money. It's my little wish."
Humour is hard to resist, Shen Ningning no longer refuses.
The lady left her things behind and left.
He also gave Shen Ningning free time to visit the Meng family in the capital.
After the lady left, the villagers who had received the silver reward surrounded Shen Ningning.
“Ning Ning! You are such a little lucky star. We didn’t do anything, but we got the silver reward. This is all due to you!”
“Ning Ning, do you know that the lady just now is the hostess of the Meng family in the capital! The Meng family is an imperial merchant, and their silk is very expensive!”
“First you have won the favor of the county magistrate, and then you have been favored by the Meng family. Ning Ning, you will really become rich in the future!”
Facing many compliments, Shen Ningning's round eyes shone like stars, and the look on her face was shy and well-behaved.
“It’s all the credit of everyone, not me.” She still refused to take credit.
The little guy turned his eyes and saw Wang Baotou, who was watching her quietly beside him, and walked up quickly.
From the silver given by Mrs. Meng, he took out an ingot and handed it over.
“Uncle Head Catcher, here you go.”
Looking at her innocent and lovely face, Wang Captou felt a little ashamed.
He declined: "This is Miss Shen's contribution, I cannot take it away from you."
"Last time... Mr. Du was present. I was just a small headhunter, and my strength was very different. Therefore, I couldn't give Miss Shen a lot of kind words. Please don't blame me."
Shen Ningning's voice was soft and she didn't care: "Uncle, there is no need to explain, they want to use force to bully others, and they end up in jail. They deserve it!"
Wang Captou couldn't help but smile when he heard the little man's cute tone.
“Your aunt Wang Guihong has to be beaten every day. The county magistrate specifically told her that she must have a long memory.”
“However, Du Yuanwai still sent people to visit again and again. After the county magistrate found out, he gave a strict order not to visit Wang Guihong in prison again.”
Shen Ningning's cheeks were dyed bright red by the scorching sun. She listened to Wang Captou's words with bright eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Captou."
The little guy has no sympathy for Aunt Qin at all.
A bad guy like her should endure hardship and know how painful it is to be beaten!
Who asked her to bully grandma!
at the same time.
In Guangyang County, an uninvited guest came to the residence of the county magistrate Fu Yuansong.
The housekeeper led Mr. Du to the main hall to wait. After a while, Magistrate Fu with a kind and majestic face appeared at the door.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate!" Du Yuanwai quickly stood up and saluted: "I came uninvited, which is really rude. Please don't take offense, Your Majesty the County Magistrate."
Fu Yuansong waved to him to take a seat.
Afterwards, he asked calmly: "Yu Yuanwai suddenly came to visit, but what's the matter?"
The boy outside Yuan Du immediately presented a brocade box with both hands.
After opening it, there was a statue of longevity male made of pure gold inside.
Fu Yuansong immediately frowned.
Du Yuanwai smiled flatteringly: "My lord, the county magistrate, to be honest, I am here this time because of my wife and sister Wang Guihong's affairs."
“My wife knows that her sister is suffering and being beaten every day in prison, and she can’t even eat, and now she’s even sicker.”
"Although Wang Guihong did make a mistake, I couldn't bear to see my wife suffering from worry, so she had the courage to come to the county magistrate to plead for mercy."
"Look, Wang Guihong has been locked up for half a month. Can you let her out early? I promise, she will never dare to bully others again."
Fu Yuansong suddenly let out a cold voice. He raised his hand and pushed the brocade box back.
"If you are interceding for this matter, then you can stop worrying about it."
“Wang Guihong not only beat the young child, but also threw the Qin family’s mother into the mountain. Her vicious heart is rare in the world!”
"You should stop trying to persuade me. Since I know this, I will deal with it to the end! A month's punishment will not be less for a day."
Du Yuanwai suddenly became cold when he saw his firm attitude and the apologetic look on his face.
Fu Yuansong, this old stubborn man, really makes no sense!
He said with a smile but not a smile: "Your Excellency, you and I are officials, so we should help each other. Why is it so ugly?"
"I have something to ask for today. If you need anything in the future, I will help you step by step."
"Besides, I have some friendship with Wei Shangshu. I didn't want to trouble him with such a small matter, so I came to the county magistrate to negotiate."
“If Wei Shangshu is allowed to speak, I’m afraid the county magistrate will be embarrassed, don’t you think so?”
Fu Yuansong immediately looked at him: "Are you threatening me with Wei Shangshu?"
“I don’t dare, I’m just telling the truth. Please don’t make a big deal out of a small matter, otherwise it will cause trouble.” Du Yuanwai smiled.
Fu Yuansong looked tense: "I have official business. No matter who comes today, the answer will be the same!"
"Mr. Du, we have nothing to say. Please come back! Butler, see the guests off!"
With that said, Fu Yuansong stood up directly, lifted up his robe and left.
Du Yuanwai stared at Fu Yuansong's back, secretly itching his teeth with hatred!
Fu Yuansong is an old guy who doesn’t know how to live well.
Since the other party is ignorant, don’t blame him for being rude!
The second day.
The drugstore shopkeeper came to pick up Shen Ningning as usual.
The little guy packed five kilograms of aconite for him, and the two of them went back to the drug store to pay.
"Little miss, we agreed earlier that one catty is one hundred taels, and I will add another twenty taels myself. Last time you gave me six catties of aconite, so here is seven hundred and twenty taels. Please order a little and put it away. "
Shen Ningning opened the package and found dazzling white money inside.
She raised her moist eyes and said, "Grandpa shopkeeper, can you help me change this silver into banknotes?"
Today, she has other uses for the money!
