Chapter 549
"To pick up medicine?" The leading officer rolled his eyelids slightly, and said sarcastically, "You have a good idea, you need to see a doctor, and you still have to pick up medicine, and when you come back from picking up medicine, you still have to boil it. Then wait for her to drink it, right? Do you think that our brothers are all idle and have nothing to do?"

As soon as the leading officer had finished speaking, Wang Dachui begged with a mournful face: "Officer, this doctor has just seen it, and said that my mother-in-law is in some trouble, and the prescriptions are all prescribed, so I can't just take a sip of the medicine. If that's the case, read it." There is no difference between not looking at it..."

"That's true." The leading officer almost nodded, pointing at the little guy who has been hiding in the corner, trying to weaken his sense of existence, and said: "You don't have to decoct the medicine, let your little guy go."

"But..." Wang Dachui looked at the young man hesitantly, fearing that he would steal his money, thought for a while, gritted his teeth, looked at the leading official and said, "Master, he is still a child." , I need money to pick up the medicine, if he loses it on the road, what should I do if I can't get the medicine back."

The leading officer glared, and said impatiently: "You have too many things to do, if I say let him go, let him go, what a waste!"

After being yelled at by the leading officer, Wang Dachui immediately withered away, so he could only count the money and ask the boy to pick up the medicine. At the same time, he was urged to be careful and not lose a single coin, otherwise , not only want to beat him severely, but also send him back, and not allow him to work in his shop again.

The boy naturally responded with trepidation.

After picking up the medicine and returning, Wang Dachui hurriedly boiled the medicine again. After the medicine was boiled and fed to Wang Xia to drink a little, it was already almost midnight.

The leading officials wanted to escort them back to the yamen, and Wang Dachui begged again, wanting to beg these officials to let them leave tomorrow, and said that Wang Xiashi was ill and needed a good rest.

But this time, the leading official did not give any more sympathy. He only said to let him figure out a way, whether it is to carry it with him, hire someone to carry it, or even tie a door panel and drag him away. , just don't delay any longer.

Wang Dachui had no choice but to clean up the cart in the backyard, spread cotton wool on it, put Wang Xiashi on it, and push her all the way to the county government.

Walking on the road, the officials were all yawning, and they all muttered and complained, saying that they should rest at the Wangjiaji for a night. The leading official scolded directly: "You think I don't want to rest? We delayed It’s been a lot of time, if it continues to be delayed and the matter of the nobleman is missed, the elder will blame you, can you afford it?”

After being scolded by the leading official, the other officials didn't dare to complain anymore, but they had to use Wang Dahammer to vent their anger, and they tossed Wang Dahammer to the point of pain.

They didn't return to the county government until the rooster crowed all over the place.

The leading officer led the others and threw Wang Dachui and Wang Xia into the cell. They all yawned and went back to sleep at their residence in the county government.

Half of the prison cells were divided into male prisons and female prisons. When they got here, Wang Dahui would naturally have to be separated from Wang Xiashi.However, although he had never been in a prison cell, he naturally knew some things in this cell after living such an old age.

Therefore, even if the money was taken out, it was as uncomfortable as cutting flesh and heart. Wang Dahammer still stuffed a lot of guards and maids guarding the cell. At least Wang Xia lived in a cell alone. The bedding and the like were also brought into the cell by Wang Xiashi.

As for Wang Dachui himself, he was thrown into a prison where many people were locked up. He didn't dare to close his eyes, and he huddled in a corner in fear, waiting for the dawn.

The more Wang Dachui was afraid, the more the people in the prison bullied him. He even robbed him of all his clothes, trousers and shoes. Wang Dachui stayed behind.

Although it is spring now, it is still a bit cold at night, especially when the sky is about to dawn.Wang Dachui was so cold that he had no choice but to wrap himself in a pile of unwanted straw that smelt badly.

After finally reaching dawn, he was chained again and taken to the county government lobby for interrogation.

In fact, it's an interrogation, but it's just a cutscene. This was originally arranged by Qingshan, and the purpose was to teach Wang Xia and Wang Dachui a lesson, and to vent Qingzhu's anger, so in the end, Wang Xia still did not fall behind the thief. reputation.

However, because Wang Xia's greed is not enough, it is considered a serious crime to hide the things given by the royal family. At least she will go to the mine to do hard labor for ten years, but "Gu Nian" is seriously ill, and "the bitter master" is not willing to pursue it , so in the end it was just a fine of [-] silver.

Xia Mingfu, the magistrate of Yongning County, made the sentence lightly, but for Wang Dachui and Wang Xia's, the fifty silver fine was really heartbreaking for them.Basically, all the coffin books saved up over the years were all pasted in.

But it’s impossible not to pay the money. Everyone knows that going to the mine to do hard labor, let alone ten years, is a year and a half. I can pinch my nose and recognize it.

Wang Dachui went back to raise money, and went to the county government to redeem Wang Xia's family.

As soon as she left the county office, Wang Xia burst into tears, and Wang Dachui persuaded her, saying that as long as she was safe and sound, it would be fine, if she kept crying, she would fall ill again later. Only then did Wang Xia shut up.

Thinking that the coffins accumulated by the couple are gone, but there are still those things given by the Tang family. If they are sold, there will be more coffins, not to mention the coffins. Wang Xia is finally in a good mood some.

It's just that Wang Xiashi has forgotten that there is a common saying that misfortunes never come singly, but blessings never come singly.

Wang Xia lay on the cart, calculating which of the things the Tang family gave her could be sold now, and which ones could be kept and sold later.As a result, as soon as they returned to Wangjiaji, the steward of the Tang family greeted them, saying that they had been waiting for them for a long time.

At first, Wang Xiashi wanted to make friends with the steward of the Tang family, but the steward of the Tang family ignored her at all. He just held his nose and said with a look of disgust that he came to take back the fact that he was "deceived" by Wang Xiashi in the first place. of those belongings.

Moreover, before Wang Xia's spoiling or not giving, the steward of the Tang family said that if Wang Xia didn't give it, he wouldn't force it, but he had to go to the county government to ask the county magistrate to uphold justice.

Wang Xia, who was frightened by the officials, had no choice but to return all the belongings to the Tang family, and burst into tears.

Wang Dachui originally wanted to persuade Wang Xiashi, but Wang Xiashi pointed his nose and scolded him again, so he stopped trying to persuade him, changed his clothes, and went to strike the iron with a grunt.
