Chapter 106 Refreshing
Wang Xiaoer seemed to have remembered something, took a sip, and complained unhappily: "I asked Mu Zhengbai to stay in the inn, but he didn't listen and insisted on running out. It's okay now, let's leave the inn alone If you don’t want to sleep in the bed, you have to spend the night with rats in the prison!”
Mu Yunxiao shook his head indifferently, as if the person squatting in the prison was not his biological father, but just a stranger, and responded calmly: "It's okay, let him spend the night in the prison."
After Wang Xiaoer finished talking about the business, he saw that the whole family looked calm, and he knew in his heart that Mu Zhengbai was not a toy, and it was normal for the family not to take him seriously.
He patted the dust on his official uniform from traveling all the way, wiped his sleepy face, yawned, and said vaguely: "Brother Mu, you and your family have a good rest. I won't disturb you. In the dead of night, everyone is quiet." , I have to continue to search for the prisoner."
"Wait, don't go yet."
Seeing that Wang Xiaoer was so sleepy that he almost half-closed his eyes as he spoke, Ruan He stopped him and handed him a small bottle of spiritual spring water.
In this spiritual spring water, she mixed a few herbs that can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue, just in time for Wang Xiaoer to try it first.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Wang Xiaoer asked blankly while stroking the bottle of spiritual spring water, looking at the appearance of the water, which was no different from ordinary water.
"I specially prepared the potion to wake you up and relieve fatigue. You can try drinking it."
After hearing Ruan He's explanation, Wang Xiaoer raised his hand and poured the entire bottle of spiritual spring water into his mouth without any hesitation.
"Gudong..."
Wang Xiaoer drank the bottle of potion in one breath, feeling a refreshing coolness in his throat, and let out a comfortable sigh.
"Sister-in-law, this potion of yours is so powerful! I drank it in one breath and felt energetic all over my body! I was so sleepy just now that I couldn't close my eyes, but now I can run around the county town! It's so powerful! Sister-in-law, what are you doing? He knows everything!”
Ruan He felt a little guilty. After all, she just prepared the potion on a whim and used Wang Xiaoer here as a guinea pig.
Hearing Wang Xiaoer's exaggerated and sincere flattery, Ruan He snorted, glanced at his smiling expression, and responded kindly.
"Okay, then you go for a run."
"Don't think I just said something bad!" Wang Xiaoer slapped himself lightly and shook his head repeatedly.
The two exchanged a joke. Wang Xiaoer was about to go back and continue his official duties. Then he remembered something, turned around and asked eagerly: "Sister-in-law, do you still have the potion?"
"This is just one bottle for now. I'll get more depending on the situation in the future." Ruan He said helplessly. How could she have the time to do this?
"Okay." Wang Xiaoer could only shake his head regretfully and bid farewell to the two of them: "Brother Mu, sister-in-law, you can rest, I won't disturb you anymore."
After watching Wang Xiaoer run away, the two returned to the room.
Mrs. Mu Tai was old and already feeling sleepy now, while Mu Yuanyuan was nestled in her mother's arms, her little head dozing off.
After a full night of meat and fish, and now it was time to feel sleepy, Mu Yunchao also stood up, supported his grandmother, and said goodbye to the two of them.
"Grandma and Yuanyuan are both sleepy. Brother and sister-in-law, let's go back first."
Watching Mrs. Mutai's group leave, the door was closed again, and only the two of them were left in the room.
Ruan He also yawned sleepily, and when he was about to take a rest, he suddenly heard Mu Yunxiao's words of unclear emotion coming from behind.
"He's right. Madam is clever and can do anything." Ruan He touched the tip of her nose blankly and just responded softly. For some reason, she always felt that there was a sour taste in Mu Yunxiao's words. .
However, she was feeling sleepy, and she was not in the mood to ponder Mu Yunxiao's thoughts. She pulled the quilt and directly put on her clothes and fell asleep.
Mu Yunxiao stood by the bed, watching her peaceful sleep. After a while, he sighed and fell asleep.
……
In less than three days, the results of their blanket search were extremely remarkable. A dozen prisoners voluntarily surrendered to the county government office, and several villages near the county city were also turned upside down by the government officers. All told, A total of about fifty prisoners were recovered.
But after the third day, such a simple and crude search had lost its effect. Basically, all the prisoners that could be found had been found, and the remaining prisoners had either heard the news and hid, or had left here long ago. Even if they dug No one could be found even three feet above the ground.
The afternoon of the third day.
Inside the inn, Ruan He was munching on steamed buns boredly when he heard heavy footsteps coming from outside.
Due to the government's instructions, the inn has basically been locked down, with no entry or exit, and ordinary people have been sent away, specifically to house prisoners who voluntarily surrendered.
The only people who could enter the inn at this moment were the group of official servants and the policemen from the Yamen.
Ruan He finished the last bite of the steamed bun in his hand, raised his eyes and looked over, and saw a figure he hadn't seen for a few days.
Li Jiang walked in slowly with Wang Xiaoer, looked around the lobby full of people, and met Ruan He's eyes.
They strode over immediately, and Ruan He understood at this moment that these two people were here to find him.
There is a lot of inconvenience in talking in the lobby. After all, there are many prisoners around.
Under Li Jiang's gaze, Ruan He nodded slightly, stood up immediately, and followed them out in silence.
Walking at the door of the inn, before the two people could speak first, Ruan He asked: "Have you found the prisoner almost? When should we set off?"
When talking about this matter, Wang Xiaoer sighed and complained helplessly: "Yesterday, a large group of us only found three or four prisoners. Today we have been busy all morning and haven't found a single prisoner. The whole county is full of people." Turned it over."
Hearing this, Ruan He was not surprised. He had already guessed that such a situation would occur.
"There's nothing you can do about it, so what are you going to do next?"
This was an official matter, and Ruan He didn't intend to ask clearly at first, but since Wang Xiaoer complained to her like this, there must be something she needed help with.
Li Jiang looked over and revealed it to her honestly: "We have issued a reward in the name of the county magistrate. As long as a fugitive is caught, he will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. We hope it will have a certain effect."
"Ten taels of silver per person?" Ruan He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had thought that they would offer a reward. After all, people died for money and birds died for food, but he didn't expect to spend money so generously.
Seeing her surprised look, Li Jiang also guessed what she was surprised about, and explained in a deep voice: "Lao Jiu is back, and the escort officer's seal is in his hand. We can take the seal and go directly to the bank." When it comes to withdrawing money, you can still get the money from the reward order."
