On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 97 Meeting

Since Mr. Wu lives in the county magistrate's house, he will definitely not miss dining and socializing with the merchants who want to get close to him.

Therefore, his three meals a day are almost always filled with banquets.

Of course, it was also because County Magistrate Chen treated the family to a meal on the first day he arrived, and then asked the kitchen to deliver meals to them in the yard.

Then he didn't have the chance to get close to County Magistrate Chen, so he knew that Magistrate Chen couldn't take much care of them, so he had to go out and have more relationships with others.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Chen didn't do too much and asked the housekeeper to accompany him when he went out.

By the way, Mr. Wu's excuse for going out was quite real. He was looking for a livable yard and to see if there were any suitable restaurants for sale.

As the old saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials, and now Mr. Wu is enjoying the benefits.

As soon as they arrived, their household registration was in Wuning County.

When he went to see Yaxing, Yaren saw that he was accompanied by the housekeeper of the county magistrate's house, so he was polite to him. Not only did he not dare to lie to him, but when he accompanied him to see Kongzhaizi, he also told him his identity first.

Therefore, whether it is a house or a shop, there is no need for him to bargain, the seller will automatically lower the price by a fraction or half.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the house and shop, the other party would still treat him to a drink and dinner politely.

The good treatment almost made Master Wu feel happy. 】

Fortunately, he understood in his heart that County Magistrate Chen asked the housekeeper to accompany him not only to prevent him from being cheated, but also because he was afraid that he would accept bribes in his name and did not dare to ask for too many benefits from others.

Thinking of the member who invited him to Baihua Tower tonight, he felt extremely beautiful.

There was a tigress at home, and his children were grown, so he was too embarrassed to share the same room, which made him feel very depressed.

Afraid that his waist would not be able to bear it, when he passed by the Huichun Hall, he went in specifically to buy himself some supplements such as ginseng and deer antler.

Coincidentally, the Xiao family's father and son were also at Huichun Hall.

Of course, they were reluctant to spend money to buy medicinal materials. Seeing the people coming and going in the medicine shop, they felt more and more that the Jiang family was a good family.

They won’t have to spend money to buy medicine in the future?

Since ancient times, people have been afraid of getting sick. Medicines cost the most money, and they never dare to bargain with doctors.

I am deeply afraid that the medicine is too cheap and the medicine the doctor gives me is substandard.

Now Mr. Xiao is thinking about bringing Mrs. Liu to see the doctor one day.

The father and son turned around and went out, and happened to take a photo of Mr. Wu who looked proud of his youth.

At that moment, the smile on Mr. Wu's face immediately disappeared.

Then he quickly raised his smile, raised his hands and ran over: "Uncle Xiao, two Xiao brothers, just hope that you are all safe."

He looked ashamed again: "It was my fault in the first place, I shouldn't have..."

He hated himself for why he came in?

Originally, I came in because I felt sorry for my old waist.

But knowing that he would bump into them, he would rather waste his money than be embarrassed now.

Mainly because he ran away without waiting for the follow-up, so he didn't know that the Xiao sisters were about to get killed.

There is no wanted order here. It's because Mr. Sheng is not familiar with the officials here, and he is arrogant enough to think that they haven't escaped yet, so where are they hiding in some corner?

But Mr. Wu didn't know that when the Xiao family saw him now, they seemed to have seen a ghost.

They didn't want him to know what happened, for fear of affecting their daughters' reputation.

He was even more afraid of affecting Xiao Xiu's marriage. Even they understood that Mr. Wu didn't know what happened next, but his sister's husband was an official, so he must have better information. Maybe they would send troops to arrest them as soon as they mentioned the Sheng family.

So Boss Xiao hurried over, smiling as if he had seen his long-lost brother: "We won't talk about the past. Now that I can see Brother Wu, I feel relieved. I hope you are safe and sound."

Finally, I couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say you were going to Wushang, Wuzhou?"

Damn it, I deliberately avoided Wu Shang along the way. I didn’t expect to meet him again. We really are enemies on a narrow road.

Now he doesn't dare to fall out because he is afraid that his brother-in-law will become an official here.

"What a coincidence, my sister and the others are also serving as parents here!" Mr. Wu didn't want to see them because seeing them would remind him of his unjust behavior.

Furthermore, he had personally experienced and witnessed that journey, poisoning, killing, and many people died at the hands of the Xiao brothers.

When I saw them, I felt terrified, and I was deeply afraid that they would be harmful to me.

Or come to me often to catch the autumn breeze in the future.

Therefore, I really wished he could disappear in front of me.

When Boss Xiao heard this, he secretly cursed his bad luck, but he said sincerely, "That's good. We are new here. The money we borrowed from Brother Wu earlier will be repaid slowly."

Although he had never thought about paying back the money, now that the Wu family has gained power again, he can only prepare to bleed.

"Don't mention money." Mr. Wu said with an upright face, "If you mention money, you don't treat me as a brother."

In any case, both of them wanted to crush each other to pieces, but their faces looked as affectionate as if they had met a lost relative.

Mr. Wu looked at them and asked with concern: "Why did you come to the drug store? Where did you stay? If you need help, just ask. I will definitely help if I can."

At most, they can spend a few taels of silver to block their mouths, so as not to spread it to the ears of the Chen family.

If you say that your elders are sick, it seems that you are cursing them, and what if your biological father is still around?

When it comes to Liu's illness, he is reluctant to bear it and can only blame it on his daughter: "My mistress is weak and I want to buy her some medicine to replenish her health."

"But the doctor said it's best to bring someone over to check your pulse before prescribing a prescription."

Mr. Wu thought to himself, how could Xiao Xiao, who could escape from the mouth of a wild boar, be weak?

If she is weak, then her children will be weak.

However, his face was still very concerned: "Then I will go see my niece tomorrow."

"No, how can I let you bother?" Boss Xiao didn't want him to know his whereabouts at all, so he asked him: "Brother Wu, why did you come to the drug store?"

Of course Mr. Wu couldn't say that he came in and wanted to buy some supplements to maintain his waist. That would be so embarrassing.

He also said haha: "I'm here to find someone."

Finally, he thought of a good way to get out: "Your sister-in-law is not feeling well. She said she came to see the doctor, but I can't see there. She must be in another place. I have to go there quickly. We can continue later!"

Boss Xiao also wanted him to leave: "Okay, okay, brother Wu, go quickly, you can't keep my sister-in-law waiting for too long!"

Anyway, the people who wanted to meet each other barely managed to maintain a superficial relationship. After finding the reason, they quickly separated.

After Mr. Wu came out and walked for a while, he asked the housekeeper who was following him: "Brother Wu, those few people are from my hometown and are very aggressive. I'm afraid they will find me in the future..."

He didn't dare to call Butler Wu around, and he always called him brother very politely.
