Chapter 402

Li Changting: "is someone posing as a water bandit village to rob the merchant ship?"

Zhang Qiu nodded: "yes, that's why we are at odds with Shuilong town. Everyone in our stockade practices martial arts and is fully armed to resist Shuilong Town, including placing people in Zhaoye's house. It's also to detect in advance and take precautions."

Xu Qing thinks that the overlord of a small town is as rich as his country, and the simple life in the water bandit stronghold is enough to see who is the real water bandit.

A Ying said: "one year before the drought, Zhao Ye robbed 18 freighters, which contained tens of thousands of gold, silver, jade and antique treasures. The three owners of the freighter and their families of 58 people were all killed by Zhao Ye and then abandoned in the river. It's a pity that the drought happened before it was spread out, and no one knows about it since then."

Hu Ling clenched his fist: "no wonder Zhao Ye is so rich!"

Hu Yi echoed: "it's full of evil!"

Zhang Qiu looked at Xu Qing: "I offended you before. I caught you because we were worried that you would attack our water bandit stronghold after Shuilong town was taken. So I caught you as a hostage. I hope we can fight for an opportunity to negotiate and negotiate with the water bandit stronghold."

Xu Qing waved his hand: "it's OK. You don't embarrass me. I forgive you."

Zhang Qiu hugged his fist gratefully: "thank you very much."

Xu Qing bumped into Li Changting. Li Changting reluctantly snorted, "forget it."

Hu Ling: "now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, I will tell the court the truth after I go back, but you can't rob the ships that come and go, or you will be punished according to the law, even before."

Zhang Qiu nodded happily: "yes, thank you very much!"

Hu Ling: "also, you can change a name, don't call water bandit village any more."

Zhang Qiu said with a smile: "in fact, we were called jiangbianzhai at the beginning, but later it was said that we were water bandits. As time goes by, we got the name of water bandit village, and we will change it later."

Li Changting suddenly asked, "your court appointment document is not fake. Are you really Zhang Qiu?"

If the document is not true, Li Changting will not wait until Xu Qing is abducted, only to find that Zhang Qiu is not right.

Zhang Qiu explained: "when I was young, I went to study in Fanzhou, took part in the imperial examination, got the second grade, and worked as a Jinshi in the Ministry of officials. As you know, the Ministry of officials is in charge of the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion and so on. When I learned that the county magistrate position in Shuilong town is vacant all the year round, I offered myself back. This Ministry of official affairs is eager for someone to be on top of it. Even though I don't have enough qualifications, I still got the appointment document smoothly. "

Hu Ling and Hu looked at each other and said with a smile: "since you are the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court, it's easy to handle. I'm short of staff here. You can come directly to take office."

Zhang Qiu was stunned and saluted: "yes."

After the matter is settled, Zhang Qiu takes people to follow Xu Qing and they return to Shuilong town.

Because the amount of property and materials in Shuilong town was so huge that Hu Ling couldn't leave for a while, so he had to let Xu Qing and Li Changting go back to Hezhou first.

Hu Ling sent four people to escort him along the way. Li Changting and Duanmu are there. It's no use sending more people. At the critical moment, it's still up to Li Changting. These four people are helping to catch the car and take care of the children.

After packing in the afternoon, Xu Qing and Li Changting left with the children.

Duanmuxiang arranges medicinal materials in the space. There are too many medicinal materials. They are piled as high as a hill in the yard and can't be put in the house.

Duanmu Xiang wants to transport these herbs to the boundless Fairy Island. If his father sees them, he will be very happy.

It's just that it's going to take a couple of carriages to load it, and we have to find a reliable escort agency.

These herbs are totally unexpected. Duanmu Xiang didn't want to take them alone. He divided some of Li Changting's useful herbs and helped them into Xu Qing's medicine cabinet.

At night, Xu Qing comes out and enters the space for Li Changting.

Duanmu Xiang took a few prescriptions and said, "these are the three kinds of medicinal wine in your book of Qin's wine classic. You always want to brew them, but there is a lack of medicinal materials, such as xisui wine, Xueyan wine, and Changsheng wine. The medicinal materials needed on them are hard to find for a hundred years. We are also in great luck. Now these medicinal materials are all found at one time, but the last unknown medicine in them, Quanjing, is it What have I never heard of? "

Li Changting also shook his head: "you don't know, how can I know."

Duanmu Xiang took the wine prescription and said, "seriously, just looking at the names of these three kinds of wine, you can see that the effectiveness of this wine must be extraordinary, but if you want to brew it, it really depends on fate."

Li Changting: "it's nothing after the Mid Autumn Festival. You can go home and transport things back. By the way, do you know what Quanjing is?"

Duanmu ring nodded: "OK."

When the carriage drove to the next town, Xu Qing came down to replenish some supplies. So many people had to consume a lot of food every day, and they didn't have much food.

Now the grain harvest is great everywhere, and the price of grain has decreased a lot. It is no longer as rare as it used to be.Xu Qing bought a lot of rice and vegetables, and saw that there were already wonton stalls on the street, only three Wen a bowl.

Many of these children haven't eaten chaos yet. Xu Qing bought some food and took them to the wonton stall. Each of them ordered a bowl for them.

Although chaos is delicious, it can only satisfy those who have a small appetite. After returning, Xu Qing made lunch for them, otherwise some children would be hungry.

There was nothing delicious along the way. Today, we just ate a bowl of chaos, and we all felt very satisfied.

Before leaving, Xu Qing thought about it and went with Li Changting to buy a bag of glutinous rice, some red beans and red dates.

In the carriage, Xu Qing soaked the red beans with water, then took out the small scissors to remove the core from the washed red dates.

At noon, Xu Qing went into the space to pick a basket of rice dumpling leaves. Now there are no fresh rice dumpling leaves to sell, but there must be many people around the town. Just in a hurry, Xu Qing didn't have time to pick them.

After all, she went out with Li Changting before leaving, and we didn't know what they had bought.

After lunch, Xu Qing washed the glutinous rice, soaked it in a bucket, covered it and put it in the van behind the carriage.

In the afternoon, she took out a small stove and fixed it in the carriage. Then she poured the red beans into the casserole and boiled them with water. There was no need to boil them until they were well cooked. In this way, the dumplings were easier to cook.

Now it's almost mid September, the summer heat is dispersing, the weather suddenly becomes cool, and it's not so hard for everyone to drive.
