Chapter 672 Fighting Wits

After moving all the things to the carriage, Man Bao asked the shopkeeper Zheng curiously, "I think your things are not as heavy as mine. Didn't the Ying family give you gold?"

Shopkeeper Lao Zheng glanced at her and said, "Give it away, but there are only five ingots, but..."

He pointed to a box on the car and said, "The things in that box are priceless."

Man Bao asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Ginseng," Doctor Xiao Ji asked, "Do you want it?"

Man Bao said: "Think, you send me?"

"You have a good idea." Doctor Xiao Ji helped old shopkeeper Zheng to sit in the carriage, jumped into the carriage himself, and said, "I'll go too, and send that post back."

Man Bao didn't go, but stood at the door and waved goodbye to them.

Zhou Zhou Lang watched the carriage go away, and sighed, "The Ying family is really rich."

Man Bao turned around and climbed into his own carriage, nodded in agreement, "I don't know how they made it, but our family will make so much money in the future."

"If you make money, you can't be such a prodigal. These gifts are all gold and ginseng..." Zhou Zhou Lang was amazed, feeling very emotional in his heart, and he didn't know what he was feeling.

Man Bao suddenly opened the curtain and said, "Fourth brother, let's go to the county government."

Zhou Zhoulang, who was about to turn the carriage around, quickly stopped the horse and asked, "Why are you going to the county government office?"

"I have something to do with Magistrate Tang."

In fact, he just wanted to tell magistrate Tang that Ji Hao had a fever and his injury had worsened.

Like Bai Shan, she always felt that Tang County Magistrate's guarding Ying Wenhai was meant to be protective.

Man Bao soon arrived at the county government office, and the government office was closed today, so Zhou Zhoulang drove the carriage to the corner door in the backyard and knocked on the door.

The backyard of the county government is usually the official residence of the county magistrate, and the family usually lives in the back.

Since the county government is closed, come here to look for it. This is what they knew when they were in Luojiang County and Fu County Magistrate Yang.

He knocked on the corner door twice and it opened. Hearing that he was looking for the master, the guard at the door immediately turned around and asked someone to notify him, while he invited the two of them to rest in the porter's room.

After a while, a very beautiful big sister came to invite Man Bao, and said with a smile: "Little lady, please come with me."

Man Bao looked at her curiously for a while, then nodded, and walked in with Zhou Zhoulang.

The big girl didn't expect Zhou Zhoulang to follow her, so she hesitated and said, "This is..."

"My fourth brother, County Magistrate Tang knows about it, so let's just say a word and leave without wasting time."

The eldest girl was stunned, hesitated for a while and then smiled: "Please come with me, my lady, why don't Mr. Zhou Lang wait at the second gate?"

Hearing this, Man Bao stopped, looked at her suspiciously and said, "Didn't Magistrate Tang call you here? Then who do you want to take me to see?"

The eldest girl did not expect this little girl to be so perceptive, so she quickly smiled and said: "Master is dealing with official business in the study, and there is no time for a while, our wife asked the young lady to wait in the backyard, so it is not easy for Mr. Zhou to go in."

Zhou Zhou Lang waved his hands carelessly and said, "That's all right, I'll wait in front, Man Bao, you go."

Man Bao didn't doubt it either, but she looked up at the sky, and then said: "Since Magistrate Tang is not free, I'll write him a letter, just remember to hand the letter to him later, it's getting dark, I'll If you don’t go home again, the family members should be worried.”

Man Bao asked, "Do you have a pen and paper?"

The eldest girl did not expect that it would be so difficult to invite someone to see the madam, she shook her head and said, "No."

Man Bao felt a little regretful, then lowered his head to search in his cloth bag, and took out a notebook and a thin pen.

She opened the tip of the pen, and took out a thin bamboo tube from her bag, opened it and touched it, then took the pen to write on the notebook.

At the back of the book there was something black like a plank, supporting the paper. Zhou Zhoulang helped Man Bao hold the ink cartridge, and talked to the big girl, "Master Tang is really hard, the yamen is closed and there are still so many official affairs to deal with."

The big girl forced a laugh, and said softly to Man Bao: "Little lady, why don't we go see the madam first, the visitor is a guest, and it won't take long."

Man Bao had already written everything that should be written, she blew on it, and when the ink was slightly dry, she folded it up and handed it to the girl, saying, "Here, take it to County Magistrate Tang, you But don't peek."

She put the things away and put them in the cloth bag, glanced at the sky and said: "It's getting late, we should go back."

So the brothers and sisters waved goodbye to the big girl, turned around and left just like that...

The big girl watched their backs disappear without a word on her face, and finally sighed, and went back to see her wife with the letter.

Mrs. Tang received the letter, but did not read it.

After hearing the big girl's report, she glared at her and said, "Idiot!"

But she didn't punish her, and asked: "What is the master doing in the study?"

"See master, the master dismissed all the servants, and only talked with the master in the study."

Mrs. Tang nodded slightly, and said: "When the master comes out, let him come over."

"yes."

Mrs. Tang didn't open the folded letter to read. When Mr. Tang arrived, she handed the letter to him with her fingertips, and said, "Your little girl on the hillside gave it to him."

Master Tang took it silently, glanced at ten lines, and frowned slightly.

Mrs. Tang stretched out her hand to him, and Mr. Tang handed the letter to her without any hassle.

Mrs. Tang glanced at it, frowned slightly, and asked, "What does the Ying family mean? Giving gifts to Ji Hao's classmates can also be said to make him merciful when he inquires, and give a doctor's hand and The shopkeeper gave a heavy gift..."

Master Tang sat on the stool, poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Early this morning, Young Master Ji had a fever, and Ji's family took a lot of medicine from Jishitang."

"Ying Jia is trying to put the pot on the doctor's head?"

"It's hard to tell about things like medical treatment," County Magistrate Tang said, "At that time, Ji Hao fell off his horse and died right away."

So if Ji Hao died in the end, Ying Wenhai could be guilty of murder or wounding.

Whether it is killing or hurting, there are other situations, such as negligence, self-protection or intentional...

Magistrate Tang rubbed his forehead and said, "The day after tomorrow, people from Ji's family should also arrive, and by then we will have a conclusion as to whether Ji Hao is dead or alive..."

Mrs. Tang froze, sat up straight immediately, and asked, "Then Ying Wenhai..."

Magistrate Tang glanced at her but said nothing, so Mrs. Tang didn't ask any more questions.

That night, when Ying's family went to the prison to deliver dinner to Ying Wenhai, they couldn't get in. That was fine. When they bribed the yamen servants to deliver the news, the news was sent to the county magistrate Tang's table in a blink of an eye. .

Of course, people in the Ying family don't know about this for the time being.

County magistrate Tang read the note, thought about it, and burned it to ashes, then closed his eyes and sighed, thinking, Ji's family will come soon, if he comes a few more times, he will really be bald.

Mr. Zhuang came back after having a drink at night, and listened to the two disciples explain in detail how they dealt with it, nodded his head slightly, and said approvingly, "You did a good job."

Good night

Go to bed early and wake up early to be healthy, and exercise
