"I don't know what he was punished for," Man Bao was a little curious. He rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said, "We'll go to the county government office later and ask."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at each other and nodded with some gloating.
The exam is over, and they are now very energetic to pay attention to these things.
So after eating, they strolled towards the county government office not far away.
It was still working hours at this time, and most of the government officials had gone out to work, patrolling the streets, or solving crimes. The remaining few were squatting in the yard or at the gate on duty. When they saw two boys and a girl approaching,
Immediately a chill ran down my spine and I couldn't help but stand up from the ground.
Man Bao held the snacks he had just bought in his hand, walked up to them and greeted them warmly for snacks.
The government officials looked at her warily, "Mrs. Zhou, do you want to report the crime again?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then shook his head, "No one has bullied me recently."
The officials breathed a huge sigh of relief, their bones slumped, and they stood crookedly and asked, "What are you here for?"
"I was just passing by. When I saw you here, I came over to talk." Man Bao raised the snack in his hand and asked, "Would you like to eat? I just bought it and it's still warm."
Of course the government officials ate, so everyone made room for the three of them, and six or seven people squatted together to eat snacks.
Seeing that Bai Shan and the others were very kind and did not look like they were here to cause trouble for them, the government officials relaxed completely and asked with a smile: "Aren't the young masters and ladies going back to their hometowns for the New Year soon?"
Bai Shandao: "I'll leave in two days."
The government officials were happy, it's good to leave, it's good to leave, Yizhou City will be cleaner after leaving.
Yamen servant A said: "It's better to celebrate the New Year. Every year during the New Year, there will be fewer people in the city."
Yamen Yi said: "There will be a lot more people, and there will be a lot of trouble. Don't be too happy too early."
Yamen A said: "What are you afraid of? The eldest son of the Ying family has gone to the capital. My predecessor heard from the housekeeper of the Wei family who went shopping that their family will return to their hometown to worship their ancestors this year. Even if the young master Ji can come out after recovering from his injury,
No one person can change the world."
Man Bao asked curiously: "Do they often turn upside down during the Chinese New Year?"
All the officials looked down at her and said after a while: "Absolutely, but they are a little different from the little lady."
"Of course it's different," Man Bao said without thinking, "I never get into trouble."
"No," Yamen A said: "The difference is that they have always avoided us. Even if they got into fights or even accidentally killed people and set fires, they were always avoiding us. The little lady is just the opposite."
Man Bao: "...don't you like a good citizen like me?"
The government officials said without conscience: "I like it."
Man Bao then smiled widely.
Bai Shan suppressed his laughter and changed the subject, "By the way, we have been focusing on exams these days, but we forgot to ask how the case we reported last time was handled?"
"How else can we deal with it? Mr. Tang called him and reprimanded him, fined him a few taels of silver and let him go."
The three people asked in unison, "How many taels is it?"
The yamen servants were shocked and looked at them warily: "Is it eight taels or twelve taels? Why do you ask? This money is returned to the yamen's public accounts and cannot be given to private individuals..."
That little money is to be saved as red envelopes to be distributed to them during the Chinese New Year, but we can't let others snatch it away.
Man Bao was happy when he heard this, "If you don't do anything, we will be happy if he punishes you more."
The government officials breathed a sigh of relief and agreed: "This is quite heavy, it's only ten taels of silver."
Man Bao nodded in agreement, "It's quite heavy. Just spreading a little bit of mud and leaves will cost you three cows. If he comes here a few more times..."
"No, we are still sweeping the streets now," Bai Shan immediately cut off her bad thoughts and shouted, "Although it feels good that he was punished, I don't want to sweep more garbage every day."
The officials thought it was strange, "Miss Zhou, you still know the price of cattle? Your attention is really broad."
Man Bao said: "My family has bought cattle, of course I know."
Government servants: "...Does the lady still need to go there in person to buy a cow?"
Man Bao hadn't heard what they meant, but Bai Shan did, and said, "Their family is poor."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, our family is poor."
The government officials looked unbelieving.
Who are you lying to?
Can children from poor families, or girls, go out to study?
Can you have such a temperament?
Can I do a grain seed business with the county magistrate for a dozen cars?
What about the liar?
The government officials do not think that Zhou Man's family is poor. Now, no one in the entire Qili Village, or even in several nearby villages, thinks that the old Zhou family is poor.
From the time Zhou Dalang and the others started running around collecting all the good new wheat that everyone had accumulated and giving out money on the spot, everyone knew that the old Zhou family was rich!
Even if someone later said that the reason their family was able to get so much money was because their employer gave them the money first.
But even if they gave the money first, they should have made a lot of money from such a big business.
In addition, their family also has a shop in the county town. The third and sixth children of the family have almost never come back to Yizhou City. The grandchildren of the family occasionally drive ox carts or horse-drawn carriages to Yizhou City. Everyone
Privately, they take great care of their family fortune.
After all the calculations, they were confused. In the end, the only thing that was passed down was: Lao Zhou's family is not poor anymore, they are rich!
As a result, more and more people came to visit Lao Zhou's family to express their love.
The first person to be targeted was naturally the older young man Liu Lang.
Lao Zhoutou really wanted to ignore his son and help him settle the marriage, but he looked at the young and old and felt that those girls were not worthy of his son.
Datou and Ertou occasionally came back from Yizhou City and brought back Liulang's words, "Uncle Liu said that he will marry a wife from the city in the future, and it is best to cook with him, so that they can cook together in the future."
Let’s open a shop together, so grandpa, you can’t make an engagement to Uncle Six privately, otherwise Uncle Six will cry to death in Yizhou City.”
"Go, go, is grandpa like this?"
The big head and the two heads are happy.
Old Zhoutou was very suspicious and lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me the truth, did your sixth uncle abduct someone else's girl in Yizhou City? Is it the shopkeeper, or the daughter of a wealthy family?"
Old Zhoutou was worried, "Isn't that bastard trying to become someone's son-in-law?"
Big head and two heads:......
These words were completely made up by the fourth uncle for them to bring back. You must know that what the sixth uncle said was: getting married?
I want to save my money to buy a shop and open a restaurant. If we get married, the money can be divided into two parts. If we don’t get married!
The two of them lowered their heads to hide their expressions and said to themselves: It would be great if Uncle Six had the same awareness as Grandpa.
However, this matter was over and done with. Liu Lang's marriage was not suitable, so everyone started to stare at Da Tou and Da Ya.
These two are also of the right age, can they start talking about kissing?
