Changping Village.

Yang Huaming arrived at the village after noon.

"Qing'er, I came to see you as soon as I got off the carriage. I didn't even go to my old house."

In the small hall of the bedroom in the backyard of the Luo family, Yang Huaming took a few sips of the hot tea in front of him, then took out two envelopes and put them on the table.

"Now, here are two envelopes. One contains a letter written by County Magistrate Zhang to you and Tang Yazi, and the other contains a banknote. You can see it with your own eyes!" he added.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Fourth Uncle, here are some snacks. You can also take a bite of the snacks."

Yang Huaming chuckled, grabbed a piece of Frosted Winter Melon Candy and took a bite.

Frost Flower Winter Melon Candy has a refreshing taste, is watery and glutinous, sweet but not greasy. You can also eat the pureed winter melon when you chew it carefully. It is very suitable for tea snacks.

But Yang Huaming knew that the frosty winter melon candy was not cheap and could not be bought in Qingshui Town. If he wanted to buy it, he had to go to Wanghai County to buy it.

Even if it is sold in Wanghai County, you have to go to a special shop to buy authentic ones. As for the winter melon candies in the corner grocery stores... don’t eat them!

Hey, he didn't read Magistrate Zhang's letter because it was sealed with wax on the outside.

But the envelope containing the banknotes had no sealing wax. He looked at it and saw that it contained a hundred taels of banknotes!

County Magistrate Zhang deliberately did not seal the wax. He probably clearly mentioned the denomination of the bank note on the letter paper, so he was sure that Yang Huaming did not dare to touch it.

Sure enough, all officials are hypocritical and don't seal the wax. On the surface, they trust him, but in fact... Bah, who are you looking down on!

However, Yang Huaming believed that Qing'er would not let his work go to waste this time. It was so cold last night that he stayed in the county to help with the accounts. He almost didn't sleep a wink all night, so Magistrate Zhang provided a night meal and a breakfast, plus this morning's meal.

A carriage ride back... Qing'er shouldn't treat me badly!

While Yang Huaming was pondering this over and over in his mind, he had already eaten several candies of Frost Flower Winter Melon Candy, and had almost finished drinking a bowl of tea.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing finally read through three pieces of letter paper from County Magistrate Zhang.

She put down the letter and rubbed her eyes.

To be honest, she dislikes the text templates of this era the most, which are just a bunch of traditional Chinese characters, and they are all read vertically from right to left.

God knows how much effort a person who has traveled from later times put in to adapt to this way of reading!

Moreover, this Magistrate Zhang spoke in detail, almost verbose, and his calligraphy was flawless. After all, he was a Jinshi.

Anyway, Yang Ruoqing's eyes hurt after reading the three pieces of letter paper, and she roughly understood what County Magistrate Zhang wanted to express.

The meaning expressed is very simple, that is, he led people to raid Brother Dao's home and confiscated all the stolen goods in his name.

Then, based on the interrogation and account book records, a list of victims was compiled. Based on the amount of money defrauded, the victims were contacted accordingly and the money they lost was refunded.

After everything was done, there was still some money left. Either the owner of the money had been killed long ago, or the contact information could not be found, so it could not be returned, so that part was naturally confiscated.

In the words of Magistrate Zhang in his letter, it is taken from the people, used by the people, and will be used in the future to build Wanghai County and serve the people.

That's it, what happened to the one hundred taels of silver note in the other envelope?

Let's put it this way, it's a reward.

On behalf of the people of Wanghai County, County Magistrate Zhang thanked Yang Ruoqing, Luo Fengtang and the others for uncovering Brother Dao's cancer and cooperating with the government to eliminate it for the people...

Gu "Qing'er, what did the county magistrate say in this letter? Why did you look at it for so long?" Yang Huaming estimated the time and couldn't help but ask.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I don't recognize some words."

"What?" Yang Huaming thought he heard wrongly and was a little dumbfounded.

"Do you still have some words you don't recognize? Don't fool Fourth Uncle." He then added.

If Qing'er doesn't know her words, how come her business is so big? I've been all over the north and south, and I haven't seen her get lost or anything.

Yang Ruoqing just smiled and said nothing and did not answer the topic.

Why can't she not recognize the words?

Not to mention her, even if in later generations the experts and masters who specialize in the study of characters and languages ​​will all have unfamiliar words that they don't recognize, let alone this is still ancient times?

"Fourth Uncle, Magistrate Zhang said you worked very hard to help them count their belongings this time. Thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Huaming was a little surprised. He smiled and waved his hands, but his face couldn't hide his pride: "Huh? Lao Zhang also mentioned me? Hehe, it's not hard work, but the capable ones should work harder!"

"Well, yes, those who can work hard." Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"These one hundred taels of silver were awarded to us by Magistrate Zhang," she added.

"Hehe, this old Zhang is a nice guy, he is generous with his actions." Yang Huaming rubbed his palms, and he knew there was something to eat this time!

"Fourth uncle, this is what I plan to do with these one hundred taels of silver."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing say this, Yang Huaming knew that the important point was coming, so he quickly sat upright, took back the hand that was about to take the Frost Flower Winter Melon Candy, and put it on his thigh, upright and straight.

He looked at Yang Ruoqing seriously...waiting for her to take the knife and cut her flesh into pieces.

Yang Ruoqing took out the banknote with a face value of one hundred taels and said to Yang Huaming: "This time we are going to Wanghai County, you, me, Tang Yazi, my fifth aunt and the four of us."

"The four of us were involved in the explosion of Brother Dao's criminal gang, so the one hundred taels of silver were divided into four parts..."

"Wait." Yang Huaming suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, what, my fourth uncle is not a stingy person, but there are some things that I have to ask clearly, and I have to get things straightened out."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Fourth Uncle, you can ask whatever you want."

Yang Huaming said: "Didn't the three of us participate in that matter? Your fifth aunt didn't seem to be involved, right? I haven't even seen her!"

Seeing Yang Ruoqing open her mouth, Yang Huaming probably realized that his question was a bit too direct, so he added two more sentences: "Of course, if you really want to give her a share, my father has no objection. Everyone who meets you has a share.

What’s more, we are still a family!”

Yang Ruoqing put down the banknote in her hand, folded her hands and placed them on the table. She looked directly at Yang Huaming and said, "Fourth uncle, you probably didn't hear clearly what I said before. This incident involved all four of us.

participate."

"What the fifth aunt did was to go to the county government office to find Magistrate Zhang. Otherwise, how do you think Magistrate Zhang and the others got here? They came here after hearing the news?"

"Ah? It's County Magistrate Zhang who your fifth aunt came to move to the county government office?" Yang Huaming was also surprised.

"Your fifth aunt usually dares to go to the county government office to find the county magistrate when she meets a master who is afraid to speak to anyone in the village? You've made great progress!"
