At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

Father Zheng was not surprised at all when he saw them rejecting them directly, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves if you refuse so quickly?"

Between life and death, if they dared to choose death, it was hard for him to imagine that they could do it.

"Afraid, how could we not be afraid, but we are even more afraid of hurting the whole clan."

It's fine if they don't have any heirs. Now that they have children and grandchildren around their knees, how can they be willing to let their children and grandchildren suffer?

"Then let me ask you again, do you know the weaknesses of the new county magistrate?" Zheng Laosan asked through gritted teeth.

Since tying up the minions doesn't work, then they will tie up the leader. No matter how tough the backstage is, it won't work here.

When the three merchants saw that they no longer forced themselves, they rushed to say:

"We don't know what the new county magistrate's weaknesses are, but we know who he's afraid of."

"That's right, don't look at his vicious look. The person he fears the most is the current prince."

"I heard that the prince scared him so much that he wet his pants, and the queen and the prince were incompatible. If..."

Seeing his excitement, Zheng Laosan interrupted him and shouted: "What if? If, do you think we can find the prince? After talking for a long time, it is better to fart."

If they could get the prince to help, there would be no need to scare them.

Seeing that nothing could be learned from the questioning, Father Zheng said: "Now that the matter is over, let's go back first. We won't find out anything in the interrogation again. We'll send a letter to the capital tomorrow. It can take as long as we can."

The physical evidence is in the hands of the county magistrate, and it is impossible for the witnesses to change their stories. Even if they are fed to wolves today, it will not change anything. On the contrary, it may make people think that they are killing people and silencing them.

Zheng Laosan grabbed the sharp-mouthed merchant by the collar and asked, "Do you know what to say when you go back?"

"I know, I know. Don't worry, I will never reveal any information about you." The three of them raised their hands and promised.

"Don't think that only the magistrate can control you. If you dare to talk nonsense tomorrow, I will send these wolves down the mountain. You should be able to guess what they will do."

In order to make them grit their teeth, Zheng Laosan threatened again.

There is no other way, we can only threaten this kind of people.

"Uncle, please rest assured, we know what to do." Seeing that they were willing to let them go, the three of them said excitedly, patting their chests.

As long as they can live, they are happy even if they become mute.

"Then go back, Xiao Xiaobai, and let your brothers make this trip in vain. I will send them some food another day." Father Zheng looked at Xiao Bai apologetically and said.

Xiao Xiaobai nodded, raised his head again and roared at the night sky: "Ouch~"

The surrounding wolves also responded, and in an instant, the howls of wolves echoed in the forest.

The three merchants didn't understand what was going on and were so scared that they hugged each other and almost wet their pants.

When silence returned to the mountain forest, the wolves were once again invisible in the darkness.

At the foot of the mountain, Father Zheng gave one of the carriages to the three of them, and they all rode in the same carriage.

Zheng Laosan looked at the carriage in front of him and asked with some reluctance: "Dad, are you just going to let them go?"

Those three people didn't know how many evil things they had done behind the scenes. I really wanted to leave them on the mountain to feed the wolves.

"What can we do if we don't let them go? The fake wine thing hasn't come to light yet, so nothing can happen to them." Father Zheng gently patted the Jinbao in his arms and whispered.

Evil people will have their own evil retribution, and it is not that they will not be punished. The time has not come yet, and he believes that those three people will not end well.

Zheng Laosan clenched his fists and said, "When I find the opportunity in the future, I will teach them a lesson."

"Okay, it's not worth getting angry for that kind of person. After this incident is over, we will find a way to send them to prison. My dear baby just fell asleep, so don't wake her up."

Father Zheng said softly.

Zheng Laosan didn't dare to say anything after hearing this, and the carriage also slowed down a bit.

After returning to the inn, Father Zheng put Jinbao on the bed, but he sat at the table, too worried to fall asleep.

……

The night passed and finally it was dawn.

Jinbao rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed. She looked around and found that she was the only one left in the room.

"Grandpa~"

She subconsciously shouted, but received no response, so she climbed out of bed and put on her small shoes.

After getting dressed, I was about to go out and take a look when the door suddenly opened.

Father Zheng walked in with some food.

"My dear, wake up. Grandpa bought you something delicious. Let's wash our faces first and then go see your dad after dinner."

After saying that, he put the food on the table and walked to the wooden basin aside with Jin Bao in his arms.

After cleaning, Jinbao sat obediently at the table and gnawed on the buns.

"Grandpa, why don't you eat?"

"Grandpa just ate outside. Baby, eat slowly and don't choke." Father Zheng poured a glass of water and put it in front of her.

Jin Bao didn't say anything. He finished chewing a bun, drank a glass of water, and then stopped.

"Don't you want to eat, baby? Why do you eat so little today?" Father Zheng looked at her worriedly, fearing that she was not feeling well.

"When you're full, take the rest to daddy." Jinbao patted his belly and said.

Daddy, Xiao Jin and Xiaolan must still be hungry, and they will buy more food to take with them later.

Father Zheng sighed: "My dear, you have really grown up. Come on, let's go to the county government office. Your uncle and the others are waiting below."

After saying that, he picked up Jinbao and went downstairs with the remaining food.

"Dad, let's go over now. The carriage is at the door." Zheng Laosan said when he saw his grandfather and grandson coming down.

Father Zheng nodded, walked out of the inn with Jin Bao in his arms, and got into the carriage.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Zheng Laosan had prepared a few pieces of silver and walked over before going to court.

"My lord, I have something that I would like to see you, sir. I wonder if you can help spread the word."

After speaking, he put the broken silver into the hand of the official.

The officer weighed the money in his hand, and spoke happily, his expression obviously changing, "Wait, I'll pass the message right away."

"Thank you so much, sir."

Zheng Laosan cupped his fists and said thanks, then retreated to the carriage and continued to wait.

After a while, the official came out.

"Go in, the adults are waiting inside."

"Okay, we'll go in now. Thank you very much." Zheng Laosan thanked him again.

"You're welcome. Remember not to talk nonsense when you go in. Sir, you seem to be in a bad mood." The official reminded.

Father Zheng and others nodded in agreement and followed him to the back of the county government office.

"Go in, your Excellency is inside." The official took them to the place, then turned and left.

Father Zheng nodded, took out Jinbao's Princess Token, took a deep breath, and walked in.
