Chapter 6: so simple
Chapter 6 is so simple again
"Add money?"
The county magistrate was distressed: "I said, you woman, how greedy you are."
"The woman helped the lord recover the tax money, and solved the case for the lord. The lord gave the woman a reward. We have settled the dispute. Of course, if we want to do other things, we will have to pay another price."
"Don't reason with this official. Do you believe that this official will put your husband, son and daughter in jail and kill them all?"
The county magistrate frowned and threatened.
Chu Nanzhi smiled disapprovingly: "Women can't wait."
Not to mention that the case has been solved, he has no reason to kill, even if the case is not solved, in front of Jin Yin and a few strangers, she will not hesitate to choose
Grandma has a leg, she is really a little embarrassed.
The county magistrate shook his head resignedly: "It seems that you are really tricky, no wonder people from all over the world are spreading the rumor that Mr. Lin married a wicked woman."
"How can there be a foothold in not being evil."
"That's all."
The county magistrate waved his hand: "I will give you another ten taels of silver."
Chu Nanzhi remained silent.
"Then add another ten taels?"
The county magistrate stretched out his hands and said tentatively.
After all, it is about the tax of 20,000 taels of gold, so he can't be too petty.
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and shook her head.
"At most thirty taels, no more. This is my official's salary for two months."
The county magistrate pitifully begged for mercy: "Look, although I am in charge of a large county, my salary is not rich. There are old and young and some are young. Although the tax money has been recovered, the money to reward Mrs. Chu But I have to pay for it myself.”
"Okay, the folk woman will sell the adults for favors today."
Chu Nanzhi finally smiled in relief.
Although this person spoke official language, she remembered that although this county magistrate was not as honest as his predecessors, he was not greedy.
The county magistrate was overjoyed to see her agree, and without hesitation, he asked someone to fetch thirty taels of silver, waiting for her to recover the gold.
Chu Nanzhi called someone to light a candle, put the white-dyed gold on the candle and bake it, and after a while, the white-dyed gold returned to its original color.
The county magistrate was both surprised and a little unwilling: "Is it as simple as this this time?"
"It's really that simple."
It's just the truth of it, she might not be able to explain it clearly.
After all, chemistry has not yet been systematized these days.
The county magistrate looked at the forty taels of silver and one tael of gold in her hand, his heart was bleeding, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand in pain:
"Your lord, after the case is settled, I will send someone to take you home later. Miss Chu, go back first, and I will ask someone to prepare a car for you."
No matter what, he saved his future, and the dozens of taels of money was not a loss. After all, he was grateful to this woman in his heart.
Chu Nanzhi thanked her, collected the money, and hurried out of the government office in high spirits.
Walking outside the yamen, I saw the yamen servants escorting a blue-robed Taoist slowly walking over.
When the two rubbed shoulders, the Taoist stopped suddenly, and shouted at Chu Nanzhi with cold eyes: "You dare to harm me."
"It's uncertain who will harm whom."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at him sideways, his appearance was indeed pretty, and he possessed some attractive capital, but it was just that he was not pleasing if he had a bad intention.
If the case hadn't been clarified, I'm afraid I would really hook up with him in Goulan Washeri in the future.
"You bitch."
The Taoist was dragged by the yamen servants, but he still didn't forget to turn around and curse.
"Whether cheap or not, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it in the future."
Chu Nanzhi shook her head in disdain, why should a dying person bother with him.
Outside the county government office, the onlookers didn't know what was going on inside, they were whispering together and still being lively, and they could spot a few familiar faces among the crowd if they fixed their eyes.
Now that the truth has come to light, she doesn't have to deal with these people anymore, so as not to cause a commotion, and when she sees the county government's carriage approaching, she slips into the carriage.
Having racked her brains all night to think about the case, at this moment she was already hungry and passed the crisis, so she naturally wanted to reward herself with a good meal first.
A new world, a new beginning, starts with a good meal.
Waiting for the carriage to arrive at the gate of Luyan Port City, Chu Nanzhi stopped the groom, and entered a high-end tea house based on memory.
She remembers that the mutton cakes made in this teahouse are second to none in the county, and many rich families often come here to taste them.
After Taoist Ximen brought the original owner here a few times, the original owner fell in love with this delicacy. Every time he entered the city, he would come here to eat a few mutton pies.
It’s just that Luyan Port is located in the south of the sea, and mutton is ridiculously expensive, costing eight or nine hundred yuan a catty. The mutton cakes made in this teahouse can only be bought for one hundred yuan, so the original owner comes here by himself every time. This eats alone.
Touched the silver taels in his pocket, thinking about those four little guys, he probably didn't have time to eat breakfast.
Children are growing up, so they can't be hungry. Now that their father is not at home, even if Li Ce sympathizes with the children, they are not his own flesh and blood after all, so he will not be considerate and considerate in every way.
The first money you earn when you come to this world, why not learn from the original owner and spend it first.
Thinking like this, Chu Nanzhi gritted his teeth and spent a tael of silver to buy ten mutton cakes, went back to the carriage and ate two by himself, and packed the rest to take back to the four little guys.
The carriage slowly drove into Anlin Village, and stopped suddenly in front of the familiar small courtyard surrounded by wooden fences. When Chu Nan Zhizi got off the carriage, she heard the sound of crying in the courtyard.
"Woooooh, Uncle Li, is it true that our father will not come back?"
"Uncle Li, what should we do if our father is really gone?"
Chu Nanzhi stepped into the yard, just in time to see the youngest girl holding Li Ce's crying pear blossoms like rain, begging pitifully:
"Uncle Li, if that bad woman comes back again, if she beats us, can you help us beat her together, or my brother and sister and I won't be able to beat her."
Chu Nanzhi coughed lightly on purpose, and the four little guys came to find their reputation and immediately hid behind Li Ce out of their wits in fright.
Li Ce just glanced at her lightly, and then went to appease the four little guys: "Don't be afraid, with Uncle Li here, she dare not do anything to you."
Facing such a situation as a mother for the first time, she seemed a little confused.
If the original owner's temperament was followed, after hearing what he said just now, he would definitely beat the children to pieces with a stick before giving up.
But she didn't like that tyrannical education method, not to mention that these four little guys had deep enough resentment towards the original owner.
After calming down her emotions, she spread out the packed mutton patties on the small stone table in front of her, and said in a soft voice, pretending nothing happened: "Your father is fine, and will be back soon, let's eat something first."
Listening to these words, Li Ce sneered disapprovingly: "You thought the county government office was run by your family, so come back when you say it."
Although she thought that she might be trying to appease the child, but thinking about the woman's usual behavior, she couldn't help but spout.
Afterwards, the stronger Dabao pushed the mutton pie to the ground, stared at her and cried and shouted: "We won't eat it, we won't eat it, you killed our father, we won't eat you even if we starve to death." This bad woman thing."
Looking at the mutton cakes scattered on the ground, Chu Nanzhi was angry and distressed, her mind felt hot, and she habitually stretched out her palm.
Dabao has always been rebellious and precocious, and now he is already broken. The other three little guys were already trembling with fear when they saw this, but he confronted Chu Nanzhi crying confidently:
"You beat us, you beat us to death, we can't live without daddy anyway, you beat us to death now, so we can go and stay with daddy."
Speaking this kind of words from a four-year-old child, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
