Chapter 793 Friends

Master Tianzun easily fulfilled this wish for her, because the county magistrate Yang, who was far away on Shangjing Road, had the intention, but he was powerless to find out.

But County Magistrate Tang, who received the letter from County Magistrate Yang, packed up his things, went to chat with Governor Ming, and then got an excuse to go to Luojiang County on business.

Before leaving, County Magistrate Tang thought about it and decided to meet Manbao, so he deliberately postponed the departure time and waited in front of the medicine shop. The county magistrate got out of the car and waved to her from a distance.

Zhou Zhoulang returned home yesterday. Man Bao knew that everything was fine at home. Now when he saw County Magistrate Tang, he rushed up, looked up at him and asked, "Master Tang, what do you need from me? What should I do?" You don’t want to ask my father and uncle again, do you?”

Magistrate Tang looked at Man Bao and smiled, "Man Bao, in your heart, what kind of people are your father and uncle?"

Man Bao thought for a while and said, "I haven't met my uncle, but from what my parents, elder brother and villagers mentioned, my uncle is a good man with great loyalty."

"What about your father?"

Man Bao said: "My father is timid, kind-hearted, loving and protective of his family, he is a good man."

Magistrate Tang looked at Man Bao and was sure that she was not lying, but he was also sure that Yang and the man in the confession were lying, so he sighed and said, "Man Bao, people are the most complicated things in this world, especially the human heart. You are kind and kind here, but not necessarily elsewhere, have you ever thought about your father being a bad person?"

Man Bao shook his head and said with certainty: "My father will not be a bad person, Mr. Tang, are we friends?"

County magistrate Tang hesitated for a moment, afraid that Man Bao would talk to him at this time, and also afraid that she would not mention anything, but in the end he nodded and said, "Naturally."

"Then tell me, what happened to my father?" Man Bao affirmed: "My father hasn't been out recently, and my fourth brother has gone home and asked, and my father has never even been out of the village, so even if the scarlet said Nothing can be trusted, he is a gambler, can a gambler be trusted?"

Magistrate Tang looked at her neck and asked, "Do you have a longevity lock?"

Man Bao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Magistrate Tang asked, "Can you show me?"

Man Bao vaguely guessed something, hesitantly took out the longevity lock, and showed him.

Yang Heshu had already sent him the pattern of the longevity lock attached to the letter, but Magistrate Tang took a closer look at the longevity lock. Sure enough, as Yang Heshu said, it was not something ordinary silversmiths could make.

Lowering his head and meeting Shang Manbao's sparkling eyes, Magistrate Tang pondered for a moment and asked, "What did you get for this lock?"

Man Bao said, "I've been wearing it since I was a child."

County magistrate Tang returned the longevity lock to her and said, "Man Bao, this lock is not affordable for your family, especially for the Zhou family eleven or twelve years ago. For the sake of friends, I can only I told you so much."

County Magistrate Tang knew that Man Bao and Bai Shan were smart, so he rarely treated them as children, and mostly treated them as peers.

He didn't have the cautious mind of the Zhou family and the Bai family, and felt that this kind of thing should not involve children, so he was willing to tell Man Bao, and at the same time hoped that she could do Zhou Jin's work.

He doesn't trust Zhou Jin, but Zhou Man's character can still be trusted. He doesn't think Zhou Man will cover up his father without a bottom line when he knows his father has done evil.

Magistrate Tang got into the car and whispered to his followers, "Let's go."

He didn't tell Man Bao that he was going to Luojiang County on business, so Man Bao naturally wouldn't have guessed it. She stared blankly at County Magistrate Tang's carriage going away, and then looked down at the longevity lock in her hand until she could no longer see it. .

It was worn around her neck since she was a child, and her parents said that they slapped it on her specially because she was not in good health. This is what they wished for her to live a long life, so they must not take it off. Not to mention losing it.

When she was a child, she thought it was too heavy and secretly took it off and stuffed it under the pillow, and she was nagged several times by her mother.

Man Bao looked at the longevity lock in his hand over and over again, but he didn't see any difference between this longevity lock and others. At most, the silver pattern on it was more unique and beautiful...

silver streak...

Man Bao's heart moved, and he stared at the longevity lock in his hand carefully.

Xiaogu saw that Manbao had been standing in front of the door and refused to come in, so he looked out. Seeing her in a daze, he called her twice. Seeing that she didn't answer, he ran to the backyard to find Doctor Ji, " Doctor Ji, go out and have a look, Man Bao will become silly when he talks to Magistrate Tang."

Dr. Ji put down the medicine pestle in his hand and went out to see that Man Bao had put the longevity lock back on. When he saw Dr. Ji, he raised his hand and said hello.

Doctor Ji asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Man Bao thought for a while, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the back basket, and immediately drew the silver pattern of the longevity lock that he wrote down just now, and asked, "Doctor Ji, have you ever seen the silver pattern of the longevity lock like this?" ?”

Doctor Ji glanced at it and said with a smile: "It looks pretty, do you want to use the longevity lock? Then you have to find a good silver house. The silver pattern looks unique, so I'm afraid it's not easy to use."

It was only then that Man Bao remembered that since it was a silver pattern, he naturally had to ask the silversmith. To see a doctor, to find a doctor, to read a book, to find a teacher, and to ask about a longevity lock, he naturally had to ask a silversmith.

Man Bao crumpled up the paper and threw it away. Before the patient came, Man Bao lay down on the table and carefully drew the entire pattern of his longevity lock.

After seeing the doctor at noon, Man Bao went to find Yinlou with his back basket on his back early.

Man Bao took the pattern to the shopkeeper of the silver building. The shopkeeper took a look and said with a smile: "This is a double-life long-lived lock. Although it is not easy to break, there are master craftsmen in our silver building who can make it. If you want it, you can do it." If you order one in our store, the wages will be higher.”

"How high is it?"

The shopkeeper said: "It depends on how good you want, the least is seven or eight taels, and the most is twenty or thirty taels."

The silver used for a long-lived lock is less than one tael for the small ones, and no more than two or three taels for the big ones, but the wages alone cost so much?

Man Bao thought for a while, took out her long life lock from her clothes, showed it to the shopkeeper, and asked, "Then what if it is tied like this?"

The shopkeeper took the longevity lock and looked at it, looked up at Man Bao in surprise, then returned the longevity lock with both hands, and said with a smile: "Since Miss can buy the longevity lock made by Master Xia, why don't you go there again?" Buy one? Such a long-lived lock is not easy for our silversmiths to break."

Man Bao said: "I don't think it's much different from other longevity locks. I thought you could do it too."

The shopkeeper smiled, and after thinking for a while, he took one of their long-life locks. It looked about the same size as Man Bao, and he put the long-life lock on Man Bao's palm, and asked with a smile, "Miss, can you?" Feel it, how, are they different?"

Man Bao felt it carefully, weighed it and said: "Mine seems to be heavier?"
