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

"What can't you say now? Why do you have to go upstairs and change clothes before you can say it?"

Boss Chen laughed and thought that Wen Meijiu was wasting time, so he just surrendered.

"Boss Chen, it was you who said we were rebels, and it's you who is preventing us from providing evidence.

You slander us like this and don't let us prove our innocence. Do you have some shameful purpose?"

Wen Meijiu was of course aware that his purpose was shameful, otherwise why would he be the county magistrate's lackey and blatantly frame her here.

However, even though she saw through the matter, she couldn't reveal it. It was not worthwhile to confront the county magistrate head-on.

Now that Boss Chen said they were rebels, they were at most suspects, and she just needed to prove her innocence.

If the county magistrate said that they were rebels, they would definitely be arrested and thrown into prison. Once in the hands of others, whatever they said was the final word, and they would not even have a chance to turn things around.

In addition, she and Mr. Wang had had conflicts many times, so even she herself didn't believe that the county magistrate was not targeting her this time.

However, the county magistrate has learned his lesson last time. This time, he probably knows that Mr. Wang has little chance of being in the right, so he actually arrested her under the pretext of arresting rebels. This is considered progress.

Wen Meijiu's words touched the sore spot of Boss Chen. He wanted to use this incident to get close to the county magistrate so that he could get more care from him in the future.

Wen Meijiu wanted to provide evidence and had to go upstairs. The county magistrate and the legal advisor were watching nearby. Boss Chen did not dare to make a decision easily and slowly glanced towards the county magistrate.

The county magistrate stood with his back straight, a selfless look on his face, his eyes straight ahead, and he seemed to be receiving no signals from this side at all.

After a while, Boss Chen went to see the lawyer again. The lawyer nodded slightly at him, and he felt relieved.

"What shameful purpose do I have? Miss Wen is really funny. If you want to raise an issue, just raise it. I want to see what you can raise."

With a cold snort, Boss Chen did not hold back and thought to himself, you are already the fish on the chopping board, why are you still struggling?

If you want to make trouble, then let you make trouble. Naive girl, I want you to die and I have plenty of reasons.

"Okay, I'll go then."

Wen Meijiu was straightforward. No matter whether what Boss Chen said was true or not, she was going upstairs anyway.

Turning around, Wen Meijiu ran upstairs, which was something that Wang Gongzi and Zhi Zheng had not expected.

The two of them didn't bring anything with them when they came, so how could they have left something in the box above? No one knew what she was doing.

Feeling uncertain, at the moment when Wen Meijiu ran out, Prince Wang suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand behind her and shouted:

"Hey, do you want to come together?"

Wen Meijiu suddenly stopped, twisted her waist shyly, turned around and smiled shyly at Prince Wang standing behind her, and asked:

"Are you worried about me?"

This sentence confused everyone at the scene, including Prince Wang himself.

Everyone looked at the warm wine, then turned back to look at Prince Wang who was standing behind.

Many eyes fell on Master Wang, and coupled with Wen Meijiu's words just now, he felt a sharp edge on his back. He nodded hesitantly, and then shook his head slightly.

"You are thoughtful, just wait for me."

Wen Meijiu suddenly smiled happily and contentedly, and went upstairs with a few "thumps", leaving everyone whispering behind him.

When he got upstairs, Wen Meijiu discovered that not all the officers and soldiers who went upstairs to search had gone downstairs. There was a soldier standing beside each room.

Just as she was feeling suspicious, a soldier at the door blocked her way.

Wen Meijiu pointed downwards and said in a low voice:

"Didn't you just hear?

I came up here to look for something, and the county magistrate has agreed. Do you want to object?"

Who doesn't know how to take advantage of the power of a tiger?

Sure enough, when the soldier heard the three words "County Magistrate", he quickly took it back and quickly went into the box with the warm wine.

There was an opaque wooden floor-standing screen at the entrance of the box. Wen Meijiu thought that if she went to the soft couch inside, no one outside would see what she did.

"Hey, you, what are you doing?"

Wen Meijiu just wanted to go inside, but he didn't expect there was someone else inside. When he saw a living creature next to the dressing table, he was scared to death.

The living thing didn't notice anyone coming in, and was frightened by the loud sound of the warm wine and jumped up on the spot.

Only after both of them saw each other clearly did they feel relieved.

The living creature was none other than the chief of the police who had knocked on their door at the beginning.

"what happened?"

The soldier at the door heard the noise and hurried inside to ask for some warm wine.

"Shh!"

The chief of the police seemed to recognize Wen Meijiu as well. He put his index finger to his lips, asking Wen Meijiu not to say anything.

Wen Meijiu was very curious. He looked the leader up and down and found that his chest was bulging. He immediately realized that he was stealing something.

In the private rooms of Qingfeng Tower, there would usually be rich young men bringing their daughters in, so the owner would thoughtfully place a dressing table in the corner of the room, with some rouge, water and the like on it for the guests to use when needed.

It was useless for this leader to take the rouge. Wen Meijiu guessed that he either gave it to his family or to his beloved girl.

It's good to have a soft spot. Wen Meijiu couldn't help but smile. Just now she was worried that someone was there and she couldn't do her job.

"Ah, it's okay, I thought I saw a cockroach running over."

The soldier outside the door said impatiently, "Don't make a fuss," and then there was no movement.

The matter was not exposed. The leader was somewhat grateful for Wen Meijiu. He walked up to her, took out a box of rouge from his arms and handed it to her, whispering:

"Give it to you."

Wen Meijiu was afraid that if she didn't accept the other party's gift, the other party would think she was insincere, so she reached out and took the rouge, and said:

"Thank you, sir."

As it turned out, she opened it with pretending to be very happy and found that the rouge inside was not bad.

The leader saw all this and was very satisfied. Since Wen Meijiu had taken his things, even the people on the same boat with him would not betray him again.

Although rouge and powder are worthless in the eyes of rich people, in today's situation, ordinary people can't even afford to eat, so how can they afford these things?

These officers and soldiers all came from poor backgrounds. They either fought for food or were captured as conscripts, so it was not surprising that they were interested in these things.

"Don't let anyone see it."

The chief instructed Wen Meijiu, and Wen Meijiu nodded.

After saying this, the leader regretted it again. In order to save some face, he said:

"It's not a big deal. They make more money in the backyard than I do."

"Backyard", "profit from it", what do these mean? Wen Meijiu looked at the leader suspiciously.

The leader felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at. He turned around and pointed to the west wall of the room and said:

"What I said is true. Food is more valuable than these things now. The warehouse in the backyard is full of food."

Wen Meijiu understood immediately that there was a granary in the backyard of Qingfeng Tower, which was now under the control of soldiers.
