Chapter 35 Don’t thank me either

After a while, the boss and clerk of the gambling house were brought in and testified that Liu Wu and Li Si owed several gambling debts.

"Spare us! We have no choice but to do so!"

"Do you think you don't have to pay the price for doing bad things? Lord Magistrate! Now that the truth has been revealed, please punish them!"

"It has been proven that there is no problem with the food of the Jin family, but they were framed! Come here, the two perpetrators will be punished with twenty sticks!"

"Forgive me, my lord! Forgive me!"

Liu Wu and Li Si were dragged aside for execution, and soon there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolf howling.

Officials dispersed the spectators and restored the order of queuing up to register and distribute food.

The county magistrate walked to Mr. Jin Sanshao and said, "This case has been concluded. I will return to the county office first."

Third Young Master Jin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Lord Magistrate, for your insight. I have one more request."

"Master Jin, please speak."

"Although they are refugees fleeing from famine, they dare to stand up and help our Jin family testify against the criminals when they see injustice. How about you, Lord Magistrate, sell me a favor and make an exception to let them enter the city now?"

As Jin Sanshao said, he winked at Shen Xiaoyu with a proud expression.

Although the county magistrate was a little embarrassed, he did not dare to offend the Jin family. It was not easy to see that Shen Xiaoyu and the others were all girls, and his father was a fool, so it was not impossible to make an exception.

"Young Master Jin is really kind-hearted. I will make an exception this time."

"Thank you so much, Lord Magistrate! The Jin family will definitely repay you with generous gifts for the full moon banquet held at the Magistrate's Mansion in the future."

"Young Master Jin is serious." The county magistrate ordered his subordinates to ask the chief official to take Shen Xiaoyu's family of five directly into the city and go to the county government office for the next step of procedures.

Originally, after entering the city, they had to wait for the county government to allocate a village house to settle in. It would take several days at the earliest, and a month and a half at the earliest. It would cost a lot to settle down in the county. It would be easier if they had money. There is no need to wait and be arranged.

They have the green light from the county magistrate, which is much easier to use than money.Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly bowed and thanked the magistrate.

The magistrate waved his hand nonchalantly and led his entourage back to the city.

"Shouldn't you thank me?" Jin Sanshao said to Shen Xiaoyu.

"Thank you." Shen Xiaoyu nodded, then spread his palms, "Third Young Master Jin, please fulfill your promise, ten taels."

Mr. Jin Sanshao took out his wallet and joked: "You have heard a lot by accident. We must not be in the same group, right?"

Shen Xiaoyu took the twelve taels, counted them and put them into his arms, not wanting to pay attention to him.

"You can't even make a joke? I helped you and you don't want to thank me?" Jin Sanshao teased her.

"Thank you very much. We will never see you again!" Shen Xiaoyu thought to himself that it would be best not to see each other again in the future.

"Not necessarily! I know where you live. See you later!" Jin Sanshao's frivolous tone made Shen Xiaoyu look disgusted.

She didn't want to continue bickering with him, so she led her silly father and sisters to the city with the official leader.

Shen Xiaoyu walked into the city gate and saw the archway standing not far away with the three characters "Huali County" written on it. She breathed a sigh of relief.

After a lot of hard work, we finally reached our destination.

"Look, Fourth Sister! This county is so big!" Shen Xiaotao couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the smooth road with various shops and houses on both sides.

"Yes, this place is bigger than the county seat of Yazhou!" Shen Xiaoli also likes it here.

"Fishing girl, roast chicken! Roast chicken!" Shen Youfu shook Shen Xiaoyu's arm and pointed to the restaurant with smoke in the distance.
