peasant queen

Chapter 46
One of the men said: "Girl, you want to go to Wubuya? You can't go there. It's a cottage, and all the people live there are bandits who rob houses."

"Yes, yes! They are real bandits, and they have connections with the government!" Another person hurriedly said.

"Have contact with people in the government? Do you know who they are in contact with in the government?" Jiang Wan asked after thinking for a while.

The man who spoke first said again: "I know, I even sent them a letter! He is the prefect of our Qingyuan Prefecture."

"Prefect? ​​Are you sure?" Jiang Wan asked in disbelief.

"Really, it's the prefect. Last time, my letter was delivered to the prefect's mansion, and the housekeeper personally received the letter." The man said solemnly.

After hearing what the two said, Jiang Wan remained silent.

It seems that there is someone in the magistrate who has connections with those robbers, but I don't know if it is the magistrate himself, or someone else in the government office?
Speaking of the magistrate, Jiang Wan suddenly remembered the mistress in Zhuang Dapang's restaurant last time.

Last time when she finished cooking fish and sent it upstairs, she met a handsome young man, and heard from Fatty Zhuang that he was the young man of the magistrate's family.

What did the son of the magistrate's family do to make that Xiaoer so afraid?Did he hear something?Does it have anything to do with the robbers in Wubuya?

Forget it, I still don't want to.The magistrate's affairs can't be managed by himself, and he can't.At least not for now, let's think about how to deal with those robbers in Wubuya!

From what these two people said, those robbers were very powerful.There are many of them, and all of them can ride horses and shoot arrows.

Everyone is also equipped with a long knife, which is almost as good as the imperial army.

The person who contacted the robbers gave them a lot of convenience.Otherwise, where did these robbers get so many weapons?

Jiang Wan thought for a while and said to them: "Do you know where this Wubuya is? How to get there?"

The two looked at each other after hearing this, and said in embarrassment: "Nvxia, we know where Wubuya is.

But we never went up here. Brother Diao always sent us messages when we had any tasks or deliver letters.I heard that the inspections on Yashang are very strict, and no strangers are allowed to go up. "

Jiang Wan nodded and asked them to tell Wubuya's address.Then he went back to his room, leaving behind the two robbers who were confused.

After returning to her room, Jiang Wan continued to practice.

She plans to go to Wubuya tomorrow to take a look, first to find out the situation.See what's going on inside?If only I could find some treasure.

After practicing all night, Jiang Wan's ability has stabilized at the beginning of the fourth level.

Hearing the sound outside, Jiang Wan got up and went to the ground.After opening the door, she saw Cui Fang guarding the door with a wooden basin.

Seeing Jiang Wan salute, he said: "Miss is awake! The servant brought some hot water, the lady washed her face and rinsed her mouth first, and the servant will serve you a meal later."

Jiang Wan nodded and let her in.

Cuifang put the wooden basin on the table, took out a wooden bowl from it and handed it to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan saw that there was a willow branch in the bowl with a little salt on it.Oh!This is used by the ancients to brush their teeth. When they were at home, family members just rinsed their mouths with water.

She herself would secretly brush her teeth with a toothbrush when no one was around.

It's not that Jiang Wan doesn't let her family use it, but it's that she can't explain the source of these things.

Another thing is that the family often has neighbors visiting.If you find something like this that you have never seen before, there will be a lot of trouble.

In order to save these troubles, Jiang Wan simply didn't show it.

Think far, or brush your teeth first!After Jiang Wan picked up the willow branches, she scooped some water into the tub with a wooden bowl and went out to brush her teeth.

Ok!It doesn't feel good to brush my teeth with willow branches. The willow branches are too bitter and astringent.Forget it, just be patient.

I brushed my teeth and went back to the house.Cuifang handed the water-soaked handkerchief to Jiang Wan to wash her face.

After washing her face, Cuifang pulled Jiang Wan to the dressing table to comb her hair.Cuifang's combing skills are not very good, but they are much better than Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan looked at the hairstyle in the bronze mirror, and secretly praised in her heart: finally she has done a serious bun. Before, she just tied her hair tie casually.

If she hadn't been dressed in women's clothing, people would have thought she was a boy.

After washing and combing, Cui'e also delivered breakfast.Two kinds of dim sum and porridge, plus a side dish.

Jiang Wan was very satisfied when she saw the food on the table.

Although these two servant girls were brought together by themselves, they each have their own strengths, and they are no worse than those who bought them.

After dinner, Jiang Wan gave Cuifang 20 taels of silver.Let her go and buy some things, especially rice and vegetables.

I eat pancakes every time!Jiang Wan really didn't want to eat snacks or something.

She doesn't like sweets very much, and it's okay to eat them once or twice, but she can't bear to eat them all the time.

After giving the money, they told them to deliver food to the two robbers once a day, and then they went out.

Jiang Wan came to the gate of the city and hired a carriage. When the driver heard that she was going to Wubuya, he quickly refused.

Wubuya is a well-known bandit den outside the city, and the people in Qingyuan Fucheng don't know it.

Knowing that it is a bandit den but still going there, wouldn't that be death?Jiang Wan even asked a few coachmen, and they were all willing to go.

In the end, Jiang Wan had to discuss with the driver.She paid double the money and asked the coachman to take her to the official road closest to Wubuya.

Only then did the coachman agree to her boarding.

The coachman was an old man with a gray beard. After Jiang Wan got into the carriage, he drove the carriage on the road with a whip.

There are many carriages leaving the city, but they are diverted on the official road outside the city.Some go south and some go north.

Jiang Wan's carriage was going north, Wubuya was north of Qingyuan Mansion, fifty miles to the capital.

It took only half a day to ride the carriage, and Jiang Wan's carriage was slower, but she also arrived at the official road outside Wubuya in the afternoon.

The coachman slowly stopped the carriage and let Jiang Wan get down.

After getting out of the carriage, wait for Jiang Wan to pay the silver taels.The coachman drove the carriage back to the city at once.

After the coachman left, Jiang Wan identified the direction and walked forward along a small path.After walking for about half an hour, Jiang Wan suddenly heard the sound of a team of horseshoes.

***
In Songshan Town, Jiangyang Village's Jiang family, Chu Yan was sitting under the big willow tree in front of the door, teaching Jiang's children to read and write.

Suddenly hearing a few cuckoo cries, Chu Yan was giving Jiang Rongjun a pause for correcting typos.

After that, he continued teaching as if nothing had happened.

After the class was over and the children went to rest.He took out a piccolo from his waist and sat on the big rock beside him to play.

The continuous and slender sound of the flute spread far and wide, and could be heard throughout Jiangyang Village.The hidden guards hiding in the back mountain naturally heard it too.

When the Jiang Rongyu and Jiang Rongjun brothers heard Chu Yan playing the flute, they stopped what they were doing and surrounded them together.

After Chu Yan finished playing the song, several people clapped their hands and praised in unison: "Master played really well."

After everyone finished speaking, Jiang Rongdong from the second uncle's family said, "Master, can you teach us to play the flute? I want to learn."

After Jiang Rongdong finished speaking, several other children immediately said, "Master, we also want to learn to play the flute."
