Jimo Qiao's cry immediately caused passers-by to turn around, and some people who didn't know why started talking...
"What's going on with this guy? Why is he bullying a girl on the street?"
"Why do you care so much? Maybe it's just a young couple who are having trouble."
"Then even a young couple cannot make people cry in the street..."
Chai Yan quickly advised: "Sister-in-law, please stop crying. Everyone is watching and they think I am bullying you."
But Jimo Qiao was already crying very sadly and couldn't stop for a while.
Chai Yan didn't want to attract attention, so he took Jimo Qiao's hand and hurried to a place with few people.
After turning into an alley, the two of them came to a quiet and deserted place, and Chai Yan stopped.
Chai Yan looked at Jimo Qiao with his hands on his hips and asked, "Isn't it just money? If you drop it, you'll drop it. What's there to cry about?"
"You said it lightly, it's five hundred taels, can I not feel bad for you?" Jimo Qiao said while wiping his tears with his sleeves.
Chai Yan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said proudly: "Can I pay you a thousand taels of work?"
"One thousand taels?" Jimo Qiao was suddenly startled and looked at Chai Yan blankly: "Really?"
Chai Yan immediately took out a stack of banknotes, counted out one thousand taels, shook it and said, "Here, see it, real gold and silver, one thousand taels!"
Just as Jimo Qiao was about to pick him up, Chai Yan withdrew his hand and took back the banknote, saying, "Why are you in a hurry? I can't give it to you now!"
"Why?" Jimo Qiao asked.
Chai Yan said: "With your careless temper, what will you do if you lose it later? My money didn't come from the strong wind!"
Jimo Qiao had just lost his money bag, and he didn't have the confidence to speak at this moment, so he asked: "Then when will you give it to me?"
Chai Yan thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will accompany you to see Mr. Gan tomorrow morning. Then I will deposit the thousand taels of silver with him. When you need it, take it little by little, so as not to lose it again.
.”
Jimo Qiao thought it right and immediately nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so considerate."
"Okay, I don't want to go shopping now, just go back to the inn." Chai Yan said.
Jimo Qiao suddenly shouted: "Oh, no!"
"What's wrong?" Chai Yan asked hurriedly.
Jimo Qiao's face fell instantly, the corners of his mouth dropped together, and he said: "I, I... the letter from my father is still in the wallet..."
"Ah?" Chai Yan was surprised and asked in confusion: "Why did you put the letter in your wallet?"
Jimo Qiao drooped his head and said, "I, I... when I was changing my clothes, I wanted to take the letter with me, but I didn't have anywhere to put my clothes close to my body, so I... I just
I folded the letter and stuffed it in my purse..."
"I'll go! You are really good, my aunt..."
Chai Yan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just like that, the two of them stood there, you looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other speechless.
After a while, Jimo Qiao broke the silence and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, if there was no such letter, would the Gan family not believe that I am my father's daughter?"
Chai Yan glanced at Jimo Qiao and said, "Probably not. When we meet the Gan family tomorrow morning, we will explain the situation in detail. They won't believe it, right?"
"Yeah." Jimo Qiao nodded vigorously, feeling that Chai Yan was right.

--------------------------
On the official road leading to Jiezhou, three people were galloping forward on fast horses.
Of these three people, one has a bald head, one has a scar on his cheek under his left eye, and one has a very skinny face, but his eyes are very fierce and scary.
The three of them are of similar age, between thirty-five and forty years old. The bald man is the oldest, the scarred man is the second, and the skinny man is the third.
After the three of them came out of the capital, they traveled day and night. They would only stop to rest when the horses were tired and hungry, otherwise they would be on the road the rest of the time.
At this time, the scar-faced man suddenly pointed to the front of the road and shouted to the bald man: "Brother, there seems to be an inn ahead. You should be able to feed the horses."
The bald man took one look, nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the inn.
As soon as the three bald men got off their horses, the waiter from the inn came out to welcome them and greeted them politely: "Three guests, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
The bald head took the lead and threw the horse's reins to the waiter and said loudly: "Make a good wine, order some food and drinks, and then feed our horses. Remember, we must have the best fodder!"
"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, I will get it done right away."
The waiter responded while taking the horse reins from the scarred man and the skinny man, and then the three horses went to the stable.
Then, the three bald heads entered the inn and sat down at an empty table.
The scar-faced man asked in a low voice: "Brother, if we keep going like this, how many days will it take to get to Jiezhou?"
The bald head calculated in his mind and said: "Two or three days, definitely not more than three days."
The scar-faced man nodded, turned to look at the skinny man, and said, "Third brother, you are still the same as before and don't like to talk."
The skinny man looked up at the scarred man and said softly: "Second brother, you are still the same as before, too talkative."
"Hahaha..." The scar-faced man laughed when he heard this.
The corners of the skinny man's mouth also turned up, but he didn't laugh out loud.
As the eldest brother, the bald man also laughed, and then said gratefully: "Second brother and third brother, this time, eldest brother is really grateful to you and is willing to help eldest brother with this favor."
The scar-faced man shook his head and said: "Brother, please don't say that, we are brothers, your business is our business!"
The skinny man said nothing, but nodded in agreement.
The bald man said with great relief: "Second and third brothers, don't worry, the mission this time is very simple. You just want to capture a girl and bring her back to Beijing. You don't have to sacrifice your life."
The scar-faced man looked around and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why does Eunuch Pei want you to take a girl back? Is it possible that the eunuch is also in love with her?"
As he said that, the scar-faced man laughed.
The bald man didn't smile and said solemnly: "Second brother, I haven't told you before, but do you know who this girl is?"
"Who is it?" the scar-faced man asked.
The skinny man also stared at the bald head.
"Jimoshu's daughter, Jimo Qiao." The bald man said in a low voice.
The scarred man and the skinny man were very surprised. As soon as they turned their faces, their eyes met in one place.
"Brother, why? Why did Eunuch Pei arrest the daughter of the high priest of Jimo?" The scar-faced man couldn't understand.
The bald head said: "Don't worry, wait until the food and wine are served, and I will explain it to you slowly..."
Soon, the waiter brought food and wine.
Baldhead told the two brothers the whole story while drinking and eating.
After listening to the bald man's words, the scar-faced man suddenly realized: "Brother, I'm sorry that we are here to do something for the Queen Mother!"
The bald man ate his food and nodded: "Yes! So you must remember that after arriving in Jiezhou, don't use force. Don't hurt Miss Jimo. If she loses a hair, I will take care of Eunuch Pei."
Not bad!"
"Don't worry, brother, I can definitely do this. Mainly for the third brother, he just needs not to be too harsh, haha..." the scar-faced man joked.
The skinny man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and after taking a sip of wine, he said, "Don't worry, brother, I know what's going on."
"That's good, that's good. Come on, three of us brothers will go one by one." The bald man raised his glass.
After the three of them clinked glasses and drank, the scar-faced man asked again: "Brother, after the matter is completed, what reward will Eunuch Pei get?"
The bald head shook his head and sighed: "What kind of reward is there! Second brother and third brother, you don't know that when the eldest brother encountered something a few years ago, it was Eunuch Pei who helped him out, so the eldest brother has always owed Eunuch Pei a big favor.
, this time it is to repay a debt of gratitude..."
Speaking of this, the bald head quickly said: "But don't worry, second and third brothers, after this matter is completed, the eldest brother will definitely not treat you badly."
The scar-faced man immediately said: "No need, brother, why did you say such unscrupulous words again?"
The bald man waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, one code, one code. If you two are willing to help me this time, I will be very happy. Besides, you also have children, so you have to pay the reward."
.”
The skinny man suddenly said: "Well, since the eldest brother said so, I will accept ten taels of silver as a reward."
"No, there are so many twelve taels?"
The scar-faced man shook his head at the skinny man with a look of disgust, then opened his palm and said seriously to the bald head: "Brother, five taels is enough for me!"
