A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

When Mr. Wang heard that there was room for negotiation, he immediately asked the butler to agree.

The lawyer pricked up his ears and heard what was said. He hurried to report it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate was still shouting at the top of his lungs to execute him, but when he heard the news, he pretended to faint from anger and was helped to the back of the hall together with the old lady.

**

They were invited to the back hall, where Wen Meijiu and Liu's husband sat on chairs. Several yamen runners stood between the back courtyard and the backyard entrance, looking scary.

Mr. Liu leaned forward slightly and whispered to Wen Meijiu:

"Girl, don't let them find your magical ink."

The so-called magic ink is nothing more than the black ink extracted from the refill of a toy pen used by modern children by Wen Meijiu, which is used as ink to fool these people.

When this kind of pen ink is first used, it is indeed no different from ordinary ink. However, after a long time, it will gradually disappear. This is mainly due to the color change of the acid-base indicator.

She has always liked these things, so they are naturally indispensable in her space items.

When writing the marriage certificate, Miss Liu deliberately asked someone to find a scholar disguised as Wen Meijiu to write it, so that the matchmaker and Mr. Liu could be deceived without anyone noticing.

As for the betrothal gift list, it was there when it was delivered to the Liu family. When Miss Liu looked at it, she pretended to be careless and deliberately spilled ink on it, making it invalid.

When returning the betrothal gifts, Miss Liu asked Wen Meijiu, disguised as a scholar, to rewrite a betrothal gift list and put it back into the box as compensation.

The ink can only remain on rice paper for a day at most. By the time Mr. Wang thought he had all the evidence in hand, things had changed quietly.

Wen Meijiu smiled at him and replied softly:

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will find out."

"That's fine, that's fine."

After Liu Xianggong sat down, he looked around and asked:

"We've been waiting for so long, why haven't they come yet?

Could they have other evil intentions?"

It's no wonder that Mr. Liu is suspicious. Just look at the performance of the county magistrate's family in the court. They are a family of acting experts. Even the old lady can pretend to faint. Who knows what kind of trouble they will cause later.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

The reason why Wen Meijiu was so confident was that she had inquired in advance. Wang Yuanwai and the county magistrate had been having some unpleasantness recently because of some things, and the county magistrate's mother had been balancing the conflict between the two.

Today, the evidence in the court disappeared, and the mutual suspicion between the county magistrate and Mr. Wang was visible to the naked eye.

The county magistrate's mother was notified by a street beggar through Wen Meijiu, in order to let her restrain the county magistrate in court and force him to clear Wang Yuanwai's name in court.

"Then five hundred taels is a bit too much to redeem him, isn't it?"

Wen Meijiu replaced the bride on the way, and instructed Wang Yuanwai's concubine to lie that the bride was kidnapped by bandits. So the surface work must be done well. There is no need to file a lawsuit, but Wang Yuanwai must go out to pay the ransom.

Minhuang County has been suffering from drought for the past two years, and the lives of ordinary people have become increasingly difficult. Many people with poor financial conditions have no food to eat, and it is common for people to starve to death.

In order to have something to eat, common people were forced to go up the mountain and become bandits.

As more and more people went up the mountain, they gradually became powerful. They were able to rob houses, steal food, money and people without any problem.

The victimized landlords, merchants, gentry, etc., all asked people to go to the government office to ask for help, hoping that the government would step in to suppress these bandits.

The former Magistrate Dou was a greedy man. As long as he could make money, he would agree to it and let everyone collect money to suppress the bandits.

Most of the money collected from suppressing the bandits went into his own pocket, and the remaining small part was spent on suppressing the bandits.

Not to mention those who are not serious, even those who are serious about suppressing the bandits have to consider whether they can be the opponent of these bandits.

The bandits in Minhuang County are all native locals. They either have wives, children, uncles, brothers, or even several people from the same clan in the village. If there is any movement in the county, before we are ready, the news will have already been received over there.

It is conceivable that after two years, a lot of money was spent, but the number of bandits increased.

As time went by, people gradually stopped talking about the incident of beating a dog with a meat bun, and instead began to arm their own families.

Wen Meijiu smiled with curved eyebrows: "Why, do you dislike the silver being hot?"

"No, I'm just afraid that they won't give it to me, and I'll get resentful."

Now that Mr. Liu's daughter is safe and sound, what he really wants is to get a guarantee from Mr. Wang as soon as possible that he will not harass his family anymore, and he does not want to create any more trouble.

In the lobby, the master begged him so humbly that if he hadn't been concerned about the warm wine, he would have almost agreed.

"We have other uses for this money. That bandit took this reputation for us and didn't give us a penny as a tribute. Do you think that bandit is easy to mess with?"

It was not that Wen Meijiu wanted to scare Mr. Liu, but she saw that Mr. Liu wanted to keep things peaceful.

Things had come to this point and there was no way back. She had to get Mr. Liu to accompany her and put on a good show to make everyone believe that the bride and her brothers and sisters were really kidnapped by bandits.

Mr. Liu was startled, his eyes wide open, and he asked in a very low voice:

"Are you really connected with the bandits?"

Wen Meijiu looked at his shocked expression and smiled, "What else?"

Mr. Liu is a scholar. Deep down, he despises bandits and is of course afraid of them. Naturally, he does not want to have anything to do with them, even in the current situation.

After thinking about it, Mr. Liu felt that since Wen Meijiu was backed by a prince from the capital, it was not a big deal that he had connections with bandits.

"Then you still have to."

After weighing it over, he realized that five hundred taels of silver was not a small amount and it would be too painful for him to pay for it himself, so Mr. Liu finally agreed reluctantly.

"I'm afraid that the messenger is an official from the government office. They are all experienced and have sharp eyes. Will they recognize our people?"

Mr. Liu had a lot of concerns. Although many things had been predicted in advance by Wen Meijiu, Wen Meijiu had a backer, but he did not.

"Don't worry, the county magistrate won't send his own people."

After all, the county magistrate is the local official. Today, he was forced around by Mr. Wang and his mother in the lobby and lost face. He must be extra cautious in what he does next.

The county magistrate gave money to the bandits. If this matter were to be known to others, he would be too ashamed to face anyone, although in fact he was also afraid of the bandits.

The last resort is to find an inconspicuous person to deliver it.

**

At the stone table in the pavilion in the back hall, Mr. Wang sat next to his elder sister, while the county magistrate sat alone on the other side, being stared at eagerly by two people.

The county magistrate was in no mood to care what they thought of him, so he turned around and asked the lawyer next to him:

"Mr. Liu has agreed to reconcile?"
