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

The master looked at the butler standing next to him, and the butler quickly said:

"Well, the girl agreed and she went to persuade him."

The county magistrate snorted and said:

"That Mr. Liu is also a tough guy. If we could really negotiate, he would have agreed from the beginning.

Now that they have all the advantages, they are indifferent even when you beg them. It is probably even more difficult to say now.

She's a woman, why should anyone listen to her? "

The housekeeper said, "She said that she could persuade them with emotion and reason, but she would need fifty taels of silver as the cost of the mediation."

"Fifty taels! She really dares to ask for such a high price. Where does she come from?"

The county magistrate was amazed, thinking that this money was enough to buy ten young and beautiful maids.

"No matter where the money comes from, you have to pay it or not. All the consequences are caused by you."

The old lady took Mr. Wang's hand and spoke harshly to the county magistrate in an attempt to eliminate the rift between the siblings caused by this incident.

"No, mother, if you hadn't made a scene just now, how could we be in this passive situation now?"

"I, I'm making trouble?

The misunderstanding between you and your uncle is already deep enough. If I hadn't gone, do you plan to make your uncle hate you for the rest of his life?"

The old lady was so angry at her son's complaint that she couldn't help but speak incoherently.

"These are all minor matters. After all, I am the parent official of Minhuang County. How can I go out and see people in the future after you make such a fuss?"

"Small things? All my things are small things?"

Mr. Wang stood up from his seat. He knew that the county magistrate was unwilling to take care of his affairs because of his resentment, but he couldn't ignore his affairs, right?

Previously, he wanted to repair his relationship with the county magistrate for the sake of his sister, but now it seems that there is no need.

His expression instantly changed from anger to calm, and Wang Yuanwai said in a deep voice:

"Don't bother the county magistrate. I will agree to whatever she says.

If money can solve the problem, I will never ask for help from others."

After saying that, Wang Yuanwai shook off his old sister's hand and went to the hall in the back hall without looking back. The old lady was so angry that she pointed at the county magistrate.

"You, you ungrateful, white-eyed wolf."

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment. Who did he offend?

It would have been fine if his uncle was unwilling to lend him money, but he tried to cover up for his uncle openly and secretly, and in the end he ended up being caught in a difficult situation.

"Love whoever you want, no matter what."

The county magistrate was also filled with resentment, but he had no place to vent his anger.

"Hey, what a sin!"

The old lady quickly followed Mr. Wang's footsteps. The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and quickly called for the lawyer to follow.

**

In the back hall, Mr. Wang was angry and confronted Mr. Liu directly, saying that the bride had disappeared that night and he could kill her or cut her into pieces as he pleased.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bailiff came in with a little beggar.

The little beggar was a mute. He took out several bloody letters from his arms and delivered them to Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu and Wen Meijiu respectively, then turned around and ran away.

Wen Meijiu pretended to be shocked and was the first to open the envelope. His hands were shaking as he read it, and he said:

"It's over, it's over!"

Seeing this, the others also quickly opened the envelope to take a look.

After reading it, Mr. Liu sighed and said, "What's the point of taking your life? The bandits want a ransom of 500 taels. My daughter was lost from you. Go and give them the money, redeem my daughter, and write a letter of guarantee that you will not harass them again. I will forgive you for what happened."

The lawyer took the letter from Mr. Liu and handed it to the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate saw that the signature on the letter was from the notorious bandit leader "Tiger Cat", he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Among all the bandits, the one called "Tiger Cat" was the most daring and ferocious. Not only did he cause chaos in the countryside, he also dared to show up in the county town from time to time. Any girl he took a fancy to would be abducted and his name would be left behind.

If anyone refuses to obey, he will kill them on the spot.

At this time, Wen Meijiu ran to the county magistrate for help.

"Sir, I will not file a complaint. My request is the same as Mr. Liu's. As long as you can rescue my brothers and sisters and return their indentures, I will forgive you for what happened."

The indenture was the one that Wang Yuanwai pressed the handprint of Wen Meijiu's mother on. If she wanted to become free, she had to get the indenture back from Wang Yuanwai.

The lawyer handed Wen Meijiu's letter to the county magistrate. The signature on the letter was the same person, but the ransom was fifty taels.

The bandit leader "Tiger Cat" has a very violent personality and a strong sense of revenge. Now that Mr. Wang has offended him, isn't it equivalent to him offending "Tiger Cat"?

At this time, the county magistrate was no longer afraid. He was calculating in his mind where the 550 taels of silver would come from, which was a considerable sum of money.

His eyes turned and fell on Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang was holding the letter and wondering, could it be that what his concubine said was true?

However, the bandits did not leave many traces when they robbed his house, and the maid who was tied to the chair also spoke vaguely.

As soon as Wang Yuanwai met the county magistrate's eyes, he understood what he meant. He was about to retort him when the old lady sitting next to him spoke.

"Don't worry, brother. I will help you pay the money even if I have to sell everything I have."

The old lady had her own little thoughts when she said this. Although the money was not small, it was definitely not enough for her to sell all she had. She just wanted to please her brother.

"No, I'll pay for it myself. I caused this trouble myself, so I have to pay for it myself."

Mr. Wang didn't know whether he was touched or angry, and he flatly rejected the old lady's kindness.

The county magistrate slowly shifted his gaze away from Mr. Wang and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, giving money to bandits could be a big or small matter. If it got to the ears of the higher-ups, he would be finished.

What the higher-ups meant was that he should persist in suppressing the bandits. Normally he could use the financial deficit as an excuse. But if they knew that not only did he not suppress the bandits, but he also gave money to them, thus nurturing a threat to himself, he would have no way of making excuses.

"Let me think about this matter. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."

The county magistrate slowly placed the two letters in his hands on the corner table next to him, frowning and hesitant.

Wen Meijiu had thought of this in advance and counted silently in his heart: "90,91,92, , ..."

She had discussed with the parents of the rescued children and decided that after a cup of tea had passed since the little mute went out of the back door of the county government office, these people would rush in through the back door.

When Wen Meijiu was about to count to one hundred, a servant ran in from outside, holding a stack of bloody letters in his hands, and panting:

"My Lord, something bad has happened. A lot of people have gathered at the back door to make trouble. They say bandits have robbed their children. They want to see you so that you can make a decision for them."
