don't wear no acquaintance

"Mommy, this is wrong!"

After taking the silver bag handed over by the maid, he opened it and saw ten taels of silver and forty taels of silver notes, which made Di Da couldn't help but ask urgently.

"What's wrong? Do you still think it's necessary?"

Immediately, Grandma Wang asked impatiently with a face on her face, as if she didn't know how to praise her.

Dida looked at the silver bag in his hand, swallowed his anger again, suppressed his emotions and spoke nicely;

"Although this trip didn't take you all to Binzhou, due to the water bandits, I not only died my brother, but also took a boat. These two things are not worth the money anyway. I hope my mother will …”

"It's really too little!"

As she said that, Grandma Wang stared at Jiao Dida with disdain.

"We have done our best not to settle the score with you when we encounter this kind of disaster. Why are you still trying to get into trouble?"

"Mom, please tell me the truth. This water bandit was not brought in by our brothers. Besides, our brothers were not willing to take this job that day. It was you who used the power of the Princess Palace to suppress others. We had no choice but to ignore the taboos. After this trip, my brother has lost his life and the boat is useless, but you just want to send me away with a mere fifty taels. Does that sound okay to you, mama?"

Finally, Di Da couldn't help but reason. No matter what, he couldn't risk his brother's life and a boat in vain.

"This is the only way to decide whether it is appropriate or not. I say Da Da, don't be greedy. Although your ship is somewhat damaged, it can still be used with some effort in repairing it. As for your dead brother, All we can say is that his life is bad, and it has nothing to do with us!"

Grandma Wang, who just wanted to send Di Da with fifty taels, left no room for negotiation, and warned Di Da with a compassionate expression.

Di Da couldn't bear it any longer and clenched the money bag in his hand tightly. He wanted to throw it out and vent his anger, but then he thought about the current situation and it was the time to use money. He just couldn't get along with money, so he took a deep breath. Staring at Grandma Wang who was sitting on top, she begged;

"Mom, please be merciful and add it all up. Fifty taels is really too little. My boat alone doesn't cost more than that, not to mention the life of my own brother!"

"What are you talking about? It's not like we killed your brother. Besides, we also killed a few servants of Xiao Si. Where can we explain this?"

Grandma Wang, who was well dressed, her hair combed meticulously, and served by two maids, shouted and asked questions in dissatisfaction. It was obvious that her patience had reached its limit.

Looking at the arrogant, disdainful, mean and ruthless Grandma Wang in front of her, who was clearly a slave but treated herself like a serious master, Di Da finally realized that he was too stupid, and then looked down at the money bag in his hand, There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, and then he raised his head and asked calmly;

"Is there no room for further discussion on this matter?"

When Di Da asked this question, Grandma Wang and the maids sitting next to her felt inexplicably cold, but they still didn't think much about it, and refused him without taking him seriously;

"It's great to be able to give you fifty taels of silver. Don't be greedy anymore. It's serious to deal with your brother's death as soon as possible!"

Grandma Wang waved her sleeves with a stern face and hit Di Da impatiently. This was the end of the matter.

"In that case... I, Di, am resigning!"

Unexpectedly, Di Da didn't beg again. After saying this politely, he turned around and walked out with the bag of silver. He only paused briefly when he stepped out of the threshold, and then walked away.

Somehow, seeing Dee like this made Grandma Wang's heart beat involuntarily, and she felt an uneasy feeling deep in her heart. Then she thought about it, which gave her an extra three hundred taels of income. Maybe it was the money that emboldened her. , and he became determined and secretly proud again.

Di Da, who walked straight out of the inn, stood on the street and looked back at the second floor, then headed towards the pier with his money bag...

"Bangbang...it's late at night, be careful of your belongings!"

"Bang Bang... It's late at night, be careful of thieves!"

On the second watch day, following the shouting reminder, a dark figure jumped into the water carefully and went upstream along the pier embankment. His skillful and vigorous movements were like a black fish. After a while, he swam to the river next to the embankment. Behind a private house, he climbed up the river embankment at night and hid in the corner, carefully snooping around. When he saw that everything was safe around him, he stood up and knocked on the door lightly;

"Dang...dang...dang..." After knocking on the door twice rhythmically, there were faint footsteps inside the door, and then someone came to the back door and asked softly through the door;

"It's late at night, let's get some rest, and we'll do the beatings tomorrow!"

"It's really helpless to bother me late at night. I hope the shopkeeper will be accommodating and give me a butcher's knife."

Upon hearing these words outside the door, the person inside the door was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice;

“Domestic pig or wild boar?”

The person outside the door immediately replied;

"Wild boar!"

"Are you fat or thin?"

"Fat pig!"

The person outside the door finished speaking, and there was no movement inside. After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard, and then the small door opened a small crack. The man said extremely cautiously;

"Come in and tell us more!"

Hearing this, the people outside the door flashed in, and then the door quickly closed, and everything returned to calm.

Just after the fourth watch that night, the Mijia Inn in the middle street of the wharf town suddenly broke down. Except for the innkeeper Mi Sheng, his wife Ma, and a few waiters and firemen in the shop, everyone was accommodated. On the second floor, the group of maids and women who had escorted the Lord of Xining County to Binzhou were all burned to death, and a large amount of property and soft goods they brought with them were all lost. Everyone believed that this incident was done by the gang of water bandits the day before, and their purpose was To seek defeat;

Who told the daughter of Princess Yongchang to be swaggering all the way through the city? She was afraid that others would not know that she was rich and wealthy, so the matter became an unsolved case and was dismissed hastily!

……

On the eighth day of Bai Shile's boat sailing, the Lord of Xining County has been keeping to himself these past few days, which also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Mo Yi is not well-liked, but where her status is concerned, if she really has her strengths and weaknesses, it will be difficult to explain to Princess Yongchang, and if she is not good enough, she will cause a lot of trouble.

"We will arrive at Zhangzhou in three or four days and send her away immediately."

Glancing at the second floor of the cabin, Princess Wenxi said to Zhao Yunshen quietly and happily.

"Sister Bai, I will take you to Zhangzhou to have fun for a few days. Let me tell you, although our Zhangzhou is not as close to the sea as Sizhou and Binzhou, the scenery and delicious food are not inferior to these two. This continent, especially the people, are much more pragmatic and honest than the people in the two continents near the sea..."

Princess Wenxi clasped her fingers and chirped, and Zhao Yunshen, who had become accustomed to it over the past few days, looked at the river in the distance and listened.

Suddenly, 'he' saw something floating on the river not far to the right of the bow. A closer look seemed to be a person. Although he was not sure, 'he' stood up and immediately gave orders to Xia Guang not far away;

"Slow the boat down and send people down to salvage that thing!"

"Yes--"

Looking in the direction, Xia Guang also found the floating objects and left quickly as he spoke. Princess Wenxi stopped talking due to the sudden situation, and stretched her head on the boat pillar to look into the distance;

"It seems to be a person!"

"I wonder if you are still alive?"

Princess Wenxi was surprised and made Princess Xining on the second floor, Bai Shile who was talking at the back of the boat, and Prince An rush over...
