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

With a "rustle", the servant scattered all the letters in his arms on the corner table next to the county magistrate, and waited for the county magistrate to speak with a nervous look on his face.

The county magistrate was startled and moved aside in reaction. Realizing that he had lost his composure and still had to preside over the situation, he quickly sat up straight and angrily scolded the servant:

"Take it away, take it away. Who told you to leave it there?"

The servant was scolded, and he held the letter back in his arms dejectedly, adding:

"If you don't go meet them, I'm afraid you won't be able to guard the door. They are all scratching people. Some of the big brothers' necks are almost scratched."

He was talking about the gatekeepers. Faced with the elderly, the weak, women and children in the countryside, they really could not take any action without orders from above and with the people outside watching them covetously.

Wen Meijiu covered her face with her hands, afraid that she would not be able to hold back her laughter. People who didn't know her would think she was worried.

After being threatened like this, the county magistrate also felt that this would have a bad impact on the county government, so he quickly stood up and wanted to deal with it. But when he turned around and thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

If he goes out, the problem can't be solved.

They were making trouble because they wanted him to help them get their children back. The children were in the hands of bandits, and if they wanted to rescue them, they had to either not send troops or agree to their demands and pay them money, and he could not do either of these two things.

Sending troops would not win, and would waste people's money and manpower; as for money, the previous 550 taels had been collected, and the next dozen letters, according to the lowest standard, would have to be worth 500 taels or more. More than 1,000 taels of silver was not a small amount.

Thinking of this, he became furious. He turned around on the spot and his eyes fell on Mr. Wang's head again.

"Why are you looking at me? Everyone is looking for you."

Wang Yuanwai was already dissatisfied, and when he saw the unfriendly look in the county magistrate's eyes, he became even more annoyed. He had already accepted the money in the beginning, so why should he be asked to pay for the rest?

The old lady also realized that those who came to cause trouble were doing it for the same thing.

She was also worried. Her brother had already taken care of the previous debt, and she would feel embarrassed to ask him to take care of the rest. As an elder sister, she had to take some responsibility.

Hearing the two quarreling, the old lady couldn't help but scold her son:

"What's wrong with you? He is your uncle, don't be ungrateful."

"That's right, don't be an ungrateful person."

With so much money, Wang Yuanwai must be distressed and unwilling to pay. He was also angry that he had helped his nephew, and his nephew, who was in a high position, was unwilling to help him settle this matter. He was also turning his elbow outward. If he wasn't an ungrateful person, what else could he be?

Wang Yuanwai scolded him so bluntly in front of outsiders. The county magistrate finally couldn't hold back and opened his wide sleeves, pointing his finger at him:

"I am an ungrateful person?"

His eyes widened, his head turned around, the county magistrate suppressed his anger and said:

“There is no such a cowardly and ungrateful person as me.

If you hadn't brought their child to your house, the bandits would have come after them. Would they have come after me?

After all, this is your own business, and it’s up to you.”

The old lady stood up, stretched out her hand to push her son, and scolded:

"How do you talk to your uncle? His business is your business. Have you forgotten how you got to where you are today?"

The county magistrate had heard enough of such arguments of indebtedness. He had indulged Mr. Wang enough, so why did his mother always feel that he had not given enough?

"Mom, can you please wake up a little, I can't take care of this matter anymore.

If the higher-ups knew that I gave money to the bandits and refused to suppress them, do you know what the consequences would be?

Losing your official hat is a small matter, but beheading and having your property confiscated is a big matter!"

“It’s not as serious as you say, isn’t it just sending some money to the bandits?

If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know? They don't have clairvoyance or super hearing. "

The old lady spoke with great confidence, and thought that the matter was no big deal, and that it was just a loss of face for the county magistrate.

"Mom, are you going to force me to death?"

The county magistrate was so angry that he was spinning around in circles, while Wang Yuanwai mocked him:

"So you're afraid of losing your job, so you use my money and my deeds to cover up your integrity!

You are really my good nephew!"

"Don't you know what you have done?"

The county magistrate and Mr. Wang were both extremely jealous, and were about to start fighting. Wen Meijiu felt that the time was ripe, so she quickly stepped forward and stood between the two men.

"Everyone please calm down, the most important thing right now is to rescue the people from the bandits.

The longer they stay in the hands of the bandits, the more danger they will face.

County magistrate, I understand your difficulties.

You are afraid that if you send your men to come into contact with the bandits, they might be used by people with ulterior motives, and then the matter would be exposed, which would bring great disaster to your family and yourself, so you are in a dilemma, right?

Then why don’t I help you find someone to go up the mountain, it’s just a matter of money…”

No one could make more sense than Wen Meijiu at this moment. The county magistrate nodded rapidly, as if he had seen a confidant.

In the lobby, he felt that this woman was different from ordinary people, and now he felt that she was smart, clever, and considerate.

Thinking suddenly, he pulled the warm wine aside and whispered to her:

"Someone has coveted my position for a long time, but I got there first. I don't know how much they hate me behind my back.

Because of your matter today, I have offended my uncle. For my sake, young lady, please don't hold a grudge against me anymore.

Girl, you are the most sensible. See if you can ask your family, or uncles or brothers to take a few people to the mountain to contact the bandits. It is not convenient for me to make it public.

In this way, not only your problem is solved, but I also feel relieved.

The money is not small, but it is not impossible to pay. As long as the girl agrees, you don’t have to worry about the follow-up matters. "

The county magistrate finally did not forget to give Wen Meijiu a hand. Doesn’t he mean that if you don’t agree, he won’t give you the money?

"Okay, as long as you can save my brother and sister, I will agree even if it means going through fire and water."

Wen Meijiu patted his chest, looking ready to die. The county magistrate was very satisfied, and he finally put his mind at ease.

"Good girl, go to the back door now to inform those people and ask them to wait with you. I will have my master deliver the money in an hour.

These bandits are said to be bad, but they are not really like that. I heard that they even sent food to the people. They are trustworthy. As long as the money is delivered on time, they will definitely release the people. This girl can rest assured."

The big hand touched Wen Meijiu's arm, and the county magistrate's little abacus was clacking. He was afraid that Wen Meijiu would go back on her word, so he said that the bandit was trustworthy, and this was his way of appeasing her.

God knows why he is afraid of those bandits when they are so kind.

"But..." Wen Meijiu was stopped by the county magistrate who was afraid of something happening before he could finish his words. "It's nothing but, others don't understand, but I'm the county magistrate, don't I understand bandits?"
