Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 239 Ransom
"The Huang family was arrested and confessed. You, mother and daughter, are indispensable. These are rewards." Xie Cheng said slowly, "It is also a ransom."

ransom?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and in an instant he understood what it meant.

Do you want the Huang family's property to be redeemed by Shen Que?
She couldn't help but feel helpless.

It was good that they saved Shen Que's life, but they never thought of using Shen Que's life to gain such a huge wealth for themselves.

It was actually her selfishness that prevented Shen Que from leaving. She knew the plot of the original novel. Shen Que would definitely return to Beijing as soon as he left, and his death would not be far away.

The life she finally saved with the supernatural water didn't want to go to waste.

"Thank you, Master, for taking these back." Jiang Weidao, "No reward for no merit. Although my family saved Master Shen's life, they only agreed to the one thousand taels of silver. We really deserve the extra. I'm sorry, please take it back."

Even if they help go to Huang's house to steal the account books, it's just a transaction with Shen Que. They don't owe each other.

"Hey, how can you, a little lady, refuse Mr. Xie's kindness?" Magistrate Du next to him couldn't help but said, "Just keep it, the Huang Mansion was confiscated, and our county government office has this huge Huang Mansion. It’s not good to keep it forever. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to do business in the shops under his family’s name. You can rent them out, which will also bring in a lot of money..."

This made Jiang Xiaoxiao next to him excited.

She had seen the Huang family's house with her own eyes. The five courtyards had front and back gardens, the courtyard was surrounded by pink walls, green willows hung all around, there were three hanging flower towers, and there were corridors on all sides. The corridors in the courtyard connected with each other, and the rocks were dotted... It is magnificent, graceful and luxurious.

She didn't know how many shops the Huang family owned, but this big house alone was already worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

It's hard not to be moved.

"Thank you Magistrate Du for your kindness, but we really can't accept these things." Jiang Wei refused very simply.

With a little bit of reluctance in her heart, Jiang Xiaoxiao also nodded and said: "Sir, we can't accept it. These properties were all stolen from the Huang family and should be returned to the treasury. If we accept them, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble. ”

Anyway, they had already emptied the Huang family's secret room of their belongings, so it wasn't a loss.

As soon as she said these words, Magistrate Du, who was trying to persuade her again, immediately fell silent.

He looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao strangely, and couldn't help but murmur: "You little girl knows a lot. You have to tell me what everyone knows well. Why don't you secretly give you benefits?" No more…”

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

If she doesn't take advantage of her age to write a novel, will she let you continue to embarrass her mother-in-law?
The mother and daughter refused so obviously that Xie Cheng couldn't say anything else, so he continued to mention Shen Que: "Now that Shen Que is at your house...are you okay?"

Jiang Weiyi nodded seriously: "Eat well, sleep well, and work hard. Sir Xie, there is no need to worry."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Her mother's answer was too perfunctory...

"...That's good." Xie Cheng hesitated and said, "Can I meet Mr. Shen?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wei also paused: "Mr. Xie, I can see you if you want. Why..."

"No, what I mean is..." Xie Cheng shook his head, "Go to your home to see Shen Que."

"what?"

Both mother and daughter looked surprised. Magistrate Du quickly explained: "Master Shen's whereabouts cannot be exposed now. If he comes to Yong'an County to meet in person, I'm afraid..."

Magistrate Du didn't finish his words, but Jiang Xiaoxiao already understood what he meant.

Shen Que's current identity is still the county lieutenant of Yong'an County. He was assassinated not long ago. What's more, in the eyes of the people who were chasing him, Shen Que was so seriously injured that he would definitely die. If Shen Que suddenly showed up, the news would inevitably not be known. If word spreads, he will be killed again...

However, facing Xie Cheng's request, Jiang Wei frowned.

She was actually reluctant to let Xie Cheng go to her home to meet Shen Que.

The governor came all the way to Yong'an County, and she didn't believe that he didn't have an informant around him. If her family's location was exposed, it would inevitably lead to death for her family...

"Miss Jiang, there is no need to worry." Xie Cheng obviously saw Jiang Wei's worries, "Since I can make such a request here, I am naturally fully prepared. You don't have to worry about this. I promise that I will not Bringing trouble to your family... Besides, I don’t want your family to be targeted by those people even more than you do.”

Xie Chengdu said this, and Jiang Wei could only nod: "In that case... then everything will be subject to Mr. Xie's arrangements."

It’s okay if you don’t agree with this.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could see the helplessness coming from her mother.

They were just ordinary people, and Xie Cheng was a fourth-rank imperial official, so how could he have the qualifications to resist?
After setting the time, Xie Cheng stood up and prepared to leave.

Magistrate Du stood up first and led the way, followed by two guards, one on the left and one on the right.

This formation obviously only involves three people, but it has a coercive aura that is difficult to approach.

The mother and daughter escorted these people out of the soap shop. However, just when Xie Cheng was about to get on the carriage, a crisp voice sounded from not far away:
"Xiaoxiao, it turns out your shop is not closed yet. Fortunately, I came early!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up.

It's Cao Wanzhi.

The sixteen-year-old girl has become tall and graceful. Her voice is as clear and sweet as a silver bell. She is holding a steaming oil paper bag in her arms and is walking towards here with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked towards the horse and saw Xie Cheng, who was supposed to get on the carriage, paused in place.

The carriage shaft blocked Cao Wanzhi's sight, but it also couldn't block Xie Cheng's sight.

Xie Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Cao Wanzhi's slightly green face.

But soon, after being reminded by Magistrate Du, Xie Cheng came to his senses in time and got on the carriage.

After the two guards drove the carriage away, Cao Wanzhi happened to walk in front of the shop. She looked at the carriage in the distance curiously: "Which rich family's carriage is this? Why are you coming to your shop to buy things so late? "

"A businessman from the state came to my house to discuss the soap wholesale business." Jiang Wei passed by lightly.

"That's it..." Cao Wanzhi didn't think much, and instead stuffed the oil paper bun in her arms to Jiang Xiaoxiao, smiling and saying: "Xiaoxiao, I know you like to eat the tofu skin buns made by my mother-in-law. No, I know you It’s in the shop and I’ll bring it to you right away.”

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lick her lips when she smelled the fragrance coming from the oil paper bag, it was just right for a midnight snack.

She quickly picked up a tofu skin bun from the oil paper bag and started eating it. As she was eating, she asked nonchalantly: "Sister Zhi'er, have you ever been to the capital when you were a child?"
