Xiaowan opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the door, wanting to see if her wish had been fulfilled. Ling Chaofeng grabbed her and said: "You're just going to run out like this?"

She leaned against the window and looked down. Indeed …

The couple quickly dressed up. When they went downstairs, Ershan and the others also came out, opening the shop door, only to see ten or so people lying on the ground in front of the inn. Susu was afraid and hid behind Da Qing, while Da Qing used his leg to touch the people lying on the ground, causing them to be unconscious.

"Xiaowan, take a look, isn't that the customer who stayed at our store last time? And that person, he was the one who collected the antiques at the town's entrance." Susu ran over and said excitedly, "We just arrived here and they're lying on the ground. We don't even know where they came from."

Ling Chaofeng went forward and checked, and sure enough, the two guests from before were there as well. Although they had their eyes closed, they could still recognize them, there were antiques people from the town, some were selling antiques in the mountains, and some were trying to raise the price.

Xiaowan ran to the stable and shouted, "Master, come and see."

Everyone followed the horse and saw a heavy chest placed at the foot of the horse. Inside the chest, there were all kinds of money bags. The amount of silver in each bag varied, it must be the money they stole from breaking in the gates.

Aunt Zhang looked around, and Amitabha recited, "Is this Bodhisattva showing his power, or a hero secretly helping out? How could there be such a good thing in the world?"

Everyone was very happy, the Xiaowan even more so, proudly opened a purse, weighed the silver ingot in it, and said, "This time the unconscious official has nothing to say."

Ling Chaofeng was looking at her silently. The others seemed to be happy, and did not realize, why did Xiaowan know that there was such a box in the stable. And what did she say last night when she was kneeling in front of the window? She had just woken up, as if he knew what could have happened, and was so excited that she was about to run out and see.

"Shopkeeper, should we send it to the yamen or sell it to the slave traders?" Uncle Biao asked.

"Let me think. First, tie them up tightly and pile them in the backyard. Don't let anyone see them." After Ling Chaofeng finished, he went upstairs alone.

Xiaowan followed along as she said happily, "Hubby, let's see how they will make things difficult for you now."

Ling Chaofeng was inexplicably serious. "Could it be that Bodhisattva has appeared, or a friend from the underworld is helping me? This is a story for the future. I have to think about how to deal with the County Magistrate now."

Xiaowan was a little guilty, afraid that Ling Chaofeng would see through her. Furthermore, she was too excited just now. If Master asked her what to do, if she could not tell him clearly, could it be that he had to tell him about the Jade Ring's magic? That would not do, she still wanted to keep this ring.

She made up her mind. No matter what, she would pretend not to know.

"Late." Ling Chaofeng stopped and looked at his wife deeply.

"Hmm?" Xiaowan tried her best to look fine.

Ling Chaofeng frowned, looking at his wife's beautiful face in front of him. He suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

Maybe it was because of his curiosity that Xiaowan saw the boxes in the stable or because she really made a wish to the heavens and thought that she could do it. She was always so lively, and anything was worth being happy for a while.

He was the most clear about the background of the Xiaowan s, and that was all.

Ling Chaofeng's vision went blank, and that strange feeling ran away again. It was just that every time it happened, it would happen in an instant. But in an instant, he felt nothing and returned to normal. He would not think about what was going on after this feeling passed.

Moreover, at this moment, he felt that his wild imagination had let down the Xiaowan.

"I'm hungry, hurry up and get the Uncle Biao to make breakfast." Ling Chaofeng said, "We will discuss on how to handle this matter."

The Xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief and ran downstairs happily, yelling, "Uncle Biao, I want to eat noodles."

Uncle Biao entered the kitchen, and in a few breaths, he fried a bowl of soy sauce and noodles. He cut the cucumber shredded onion, and with the green bean soup that he cooked last night, the whole family was completely full.

Xiaowan rubbed her stomach as she went to the backyard and took a look, but she still couldn't wake them up. Naturally, this was all thanks to her.

When everyone was discussing the arrangements for the next few days, Xiaowan was filled with thoughts on how to make a wish with the Jade Ring.

She had to consider whether these people would be able to see the people here after they were "captured", and what she would do if something went wrong and someone ran away or the county magistrate let them go.

Thus, Xiaowan carefully thought through the details of this matter in her mind and made her wish in one breath. For example, these people were still unconscious, so when this matter was resolved, they would naturally wake up.

Right now, she would not change Susu and Auntie Chen onto the wharf, and did not know what to do next. Xiaowan also felt more and more that the owner of her storage ring must be extremely powerful.

Although she often wondered if it was all a dream, such as this moment, where she was in a dream.

But everything around him was real, there was nothing to doubt. The food that Uncle Biao cooked was so delicious, every bite was eaten well, how could it be a dream?

"Late." Ling Chaofeng called her over and told his to sit back down, and the whole family listened quietly, "If I send him to the yamen now, it will indeed solve the problem of Zhixian making things difficult for us, but he seems to have a few clever people by his side, who might not necessarily persuade him to continue making things difficult for us. Firstly, not to mention one night, even if it was three days, it still shouldn't be something an ordinary person could do. There must be something amiss, he wanted to ask us why, but right now we don't know either. If he were to bite back and say that we are accomplices, how are we to get out of it? "

Xiaowan was very serious when she heard this. Hubby was hubby, she thought that she had thought through everything carefully, there were still loopholes.

Ling Chaofeng continued to speak, "Secondly, even if he believes that we have nothing to do with these people, he would still think that we are so nimble and capable, and that we are truly capable. Then, the next time we meet some trouble, he will do the same thing and look for trouble with us.

The Aunt Zhang said: "This time, the most important thing is to not let him incite the villagers to make trouble for us. Next time, we will ask Lord Liang to step in and tell this unconscious official to scram as soon as possible."

Ling Chaofeng sighed lightly: "I have thought about it too, but Lord Tang sent a letter, telling me to endure it a little. His official donation involved some favor, so now is not the time for him to scram."

The Aunt Zhang scoffed, "Could it be that the new monarch only has this bit of ability? The place is not safe, how can the country be safe?"

Now was not the time to discuss the new ruler of the nation's policy, so Ling Chaofeng naturally wouldn't argue with Aunt Zhang. He calmly said: "We better think of a foolproof plan."

Susu said from the side: "How about we just let them go with the plan and continue collecting the antiques at the town entrance. That way, at least the antique dealer is serious, it has nothing to do with us anymore. There might be someone else who is trying to barge through the gates. We will just refuse to admit it. "

Xiaowan looked at Susu seriously. She felt that Susu was smarter than her.

Ling Chaofeng nodded his head, but said: "I have also thought about it, but if our antiques merchant is serious, then the next time they will be tricked, and if they change their name, and do the same thing, it will harm even more innocent people."

Xiaowan nodded furiously, "Hubby is right."

Ling Chaofeng said: "I want to do this, and protect their lives. If you wake up, cover your eyes and cover your mouth, if you can't hear or hear me, don't say anything. Leave them here for three days. Three days later, I went to the yamen to beg for forgiveness, and on the fourth day, early in the morning, we found a way to transport them all to the yamen as we had done today. No matter who it was that did this good deed, this favor was conveniently given to the county magistrate. What do you think? "

Everyone discussed their countermeasures carefully, including how they could secretly transport so many people to the yamen. In the end, they decided to do as Ling Chaofeng said, and try their best to get rid of this matter from them.

Ershan then thought of one thing. "Shopkeeper, if the county magistrate were to spout nonsense during a trial and force them to say that we are partners, or if the county magistrate insists on forcing us to admit it, what should we do?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "Although it is possible for him to do so, at that time the villagers would have already taken back their money, and wouldn't have come all the way to make things difficult for the inn. From the very beginning, we weren't afraid of the county magistrate, but of the villagers who were infuriating them. "

When Xiaowan got excited, she casually said, "Don't worry, I won't."

Everyone looked at her and only laughed at how simple her thoughts were. However, Ling Chaofeng's heart thumped once again, but he did his best not to let his thoughts run wild.

Naturally, Xiaowan had already made up her mind long ago. She would properly ask the ring to stop this matter from having anything to do with the inn.

He didn't expect Ling Chaofeng to really come empty-handed, and as if he had lost his mind and gone mad, he ignored Grand Master's advice to be wary of the Prefect Liang and sent Ling Chaofeng to prison.

And when he went to look for Yue Huaiyin in the Siyun Pavilion at night, even Yue Huaiyin found it strange that there was something that Ling Chaofeng was unable to do.

But she quietly said, "Sir, there is so much gold and silver in the inn, why don't we have him bring it out first to pacify the villagers?"

The county magistrate, who slept soundly with his concubine in his arms, was woken up by a servant the next morning. He rushed to the entrance of the yamen to check, only to see ten people tied up and thrown in front of the door, along with a large box.

At this moment, the villagers had already come to the yamen to wait for the county magistrate to respond. Seeing this scene, they all rushed out to inform him. Before the county magistrate could order people to carry the boxes in and count the money, the villagers had already flocked over.

Zhixian had no choice but to endure the pain of the Grand Master's death. According to the losses registered by each family, he would return them one by one and start another court case, ruthlessly punishing those swindlers and bringing honor to himself.

Inside the Qingling Village, Madam Xu was humming a song as she cooked rice porridge for the children. The two kids didn't need to shout today, they just crawled back up themselves.

She smiled and said, "It's not fragrant at all. This is the best kind of rice. Mom hasn't even eaten it a few times before."

He then saw the Aunt Wang next door rushing over from the village entrance, and shouted at her: "Wen Bao's mother, you've sent the money, the yamen has sent the money, quickly go and get it."
