How could he dare to claim that his gold and silver came from a shady source?

Isn't that suicide!

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

The staff rushed over and saw the magistrate sitting in the study with a lost look on his face.

The county magistrate's face was expressionless, and he was in extreme pain. He waved his hands and said, "Quickly, let people track down the whereabouts of the thieves and be sure to recover the things. By the way, send people to see if those disasters are gone?"

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after the staff left, the county master hurried over and was led into the study. When he walked in, he had an illusion. Did he go to the wrong place?The magistrate's study is quite tasteful, and the things are all good.

Why is there nothing when I come here this time?

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate." Master Jia bowed.

When the county magistrate saw the man, his heart was filled with sorrow, and he responded with a calm face, "Master Jia, there is a thief at home, and I can't entertain you anymore."

"It's okay. When I came here, I heard from the officials that the county government office was robbed. I didn't expect it to be so serious." Master Jia looked puzzled and observed without trace, "I don't know who the thief was, but even the tables and chairs were stolen." Even the stools are not spared.”

The county magistrate lowered his eyes and smiled, "Yes! I don't know anyone who is so powerful."

He was knocked unconscious, grabbed his things and ran away.

It was dark at that time, and he only saw a dark shadow, which was very short.

"Can the county magistrate see the other party clearly?"

The county magistrate shook his head and sighed, "I didn't see it, I just saw a very short shadow."

"Could it be someone from the Jianghu?" Master Jia was thoughtful, and what he was thinking came out of his mouth, "If it's a dwarf, that's right."

The county magistrate felt that Master Jia was right, the other party might be a dwarf.

"Our place is remote. Who is the dwarf who is good at kung fu and light kung fu in the martial arts world?"

The topic is worth pondering.

Master Jia repeatedly searched for information about Jianghu people in his memory, but found that none of them matched, "None of the famous people in Jianghu are dwarfs."

"That's it, I'm unlucky." The county magistrate shook his head and sighed, pretending to accept his fate.

Master Jia said no more, but it was true that he had lost a lot of things. He said goodbye and walked out of the county office, got into the sedan waiting at the county office, and the corners of his lips curled up.

The magistrate is really stupid.

Since I saw someone last night, why don’t I yell?If he had shouted a warning in advance, he might not have lost so much.

Unfortunately, the county magistrate is not in his right mind.

Just like that, I missed the truth by mistake.

The grain shop owners in the county got up and planned to open for business, but found that the grain and seasonings in the shops were gone.

Grain shop owners:
Subconsciously, he wanted to cry, because he was hoping to support his family; but in a blink of an eye, he saw four rows of large silver ingots on the counter, ten in a row, ten taels in one ingot, that is, 400 taels.

I couldn't cry right now.

The grain shop owners quietly collected the money, and when they saw the official seal at the bottom, they were seeking death if they dared to take action. They might lose their money and be implicated by thieves who stole the official seal.

Anyway, no one else knew, so they just pretended not to know.

Collect the official seal and hide it. Find a time to melt the silver and use it as broken silver.

Nothing happened. The grain from the warehouse was pulled out and loaded, and the shop continued to open.

The grain shop owners had a tacit understanding that the county magistrate did not know that a batch of grain had disappeared in the county.

deep mountains.

The people of the Cheng clan have been walking deep into the mountains, with strong men with hunting experience leading the way to protect their fellow clansmen at the rear.

Cheng Yuanxi had too many things and did not go to the front, but he also walked with his family at the front except for the person who opened the way; Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua followed Cheng Yuanxi, and Chen Daya pushed the cart behind them.Cheng Mingli and Mingyi followed the car pushed by Cheng Yuanxi to help, and the other followed the car pushed by Chen Daya to help.

After walking for most of the day, I was tired and hungry. I didn't eat breakfast and consumed too much. The adults couldn't bear it, and the younger children were so hungry that they cried.

"Okay, let's stop and coax our children well. Too much noise in the mountains can easily attract big wild animals. Cook for your family, and keep the noise down."

The village chief shouted, and everyone in the Cheng family stopped.

Fortunately, the land is relatively flat, and the whole clan can barely be accommodated by squeezing forward and backward.

He sat on the ground exhausted and panted. After he had rested his breath, he packed up his things and started cooking.

There is food and there is no need to worry about water.

The most indispensable thing in the mountains is firewood. It hasn't rained recently, so they can make a fire by gathering some firewood and dry leaves in the mountains.

Soon, every household set up cooking fires and set up pots to cook.

Simple wild vegetables + seafood were cooked. In order to agree with the public, Mingyi's family did not bring out the food; otherwise, there was no way to explain how the food came from.

"Yiyi, come here to eat."

Chen Daya waved to Mingyi.

Mingyi stepped forward on her short legs and was led by Chen Daya to where Cheng Dazhu was sitting around.

Cheng Dazhu looked at Mingyi and smiled, "Aren't you hungry, little girl? You still can't get enough to eat."

"Grandpa, I'm hungry. I've been hungry for a long time." Mingyi replied with a smile.

"Sit down and eat."

Cheng Dazhu nodded his chin at her, his expression gentle and kind.

Luo Cuihua shared the meal without looking at Mingyi's family. When it was her turn to share the meal with Cheng Yuanxi, her hand paused for a moment, and then she distributed it to them according to the previous rules as if nothing had happened.

Mingyi reasonably suspected that her grandmother had a strong opinion of their family.

Otherwise, there would be no pause or even hesitation.

The rule of dividing food has lasted for many years and has long been a family rule. It is impossible not to know how to divide the food. Therefore, there is only one possibility. Her grandmother wants to give them a small portion.

"Okay, eat."

The wild vegetable and seafood porridge was divided into various bowls, Cheng Dazhu held his chopsticks and said.

Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua moved their chopsticks first, followed by Cheng Yuandong's generation, and finally the grandchildren below.

Cheng Mingyue looked at the fishy seafood porridge in the bowl and couldn't take it down. As soon as she brought it to the edge of the bowl, she could smell the smell. She had eaten too much during this period and she felt like vomiting.

"Yuck~"

The family members followed the sound and saw Cheng Mingyue put down the bowl, got up and walked away in disgust.

Cheng Yuandong frowned, and Li Lianhua's heart skipped a beat. She put down her bowls and chopsticks and stood up, ignoring her food. "Mom and dad, you eat first. I'll go check if Yueyue feels unwell."

"Yes." Cheng Dazhu nodded, and Li Lianhua hurried away.

Cheng Yuanxi looked at his daughter and felt that she was still a good, caring little cotton-padded jacket; he pulled out a few small fish and shrimps from the bowl and put them into her bowl, "Eat quickly."

"Thank you dad."

Mingyi accepted everyone who came and ate quickly without making any big noise.

After eating, her stomach was empty. How could she be full with just such a small bowl? Mingyi touched her belly and thought about waking up and going out to find food.

Cheng Dazhu saw it and said, "Is Yiyi not full?"

"Not full." Mingyi shook her head obediently. She exercised so much, how could she be full with this little food.

"I haven't eaten Mingyue's bowl yet, so you can take it over and eat it."

As soon as Cheng Dazhu opened his mouth, Luo Cuihua was stunned and said without thinking: "That's Mingyue's, Mingyue hasn't eaten it yet."
