Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 49
Qinghe County is not a big place, Xu Ru quickly found the palace, but was told that Xu Dongmei had already been kicked out by the Wang family this morning.

She asked the aunt who sells vegetables and Uncle Mantou about the places in the yamen where the prisoners under trial are held, and also learned about the price of fast arresters in the prison.

"Xu's sister, you'd better wait for the adults in the family to come before you go. You, a little girl, are not afraid of going to that kind of place?" Uncle Mantou looked at Xu Ru worriedly. The yamen is a place where people eat people. .

"Thank you uncle, but my second sister is inside. She is also a girl's house. She will be even more afraid if she stays there. I just go to see her and nothing will happen." She can't care so much, the second sister alone Girls definitely haven't experienced these things, and things haven't been clarified yet, so go and get some peace of mind first.

She bought some food and supplies, bought two thicker clothes, and went to see her second sister Yinhua in the prison.

The place where the county yamen temporarily detains people is at the back of the yamen lobby, and a back door is opened.Xu Ru gave a tael of silver to each of the two yamen guards at the gate, and after talking nicely for a long time, she was taken in.

After entering the big prison, the cold air rushed towards the face, the place is not big, there are less than ten cells in total.

"The two elder brothers have worked hard. Here is a jug of wine and some food to warm up the elder brother's body." Xu Ru put a jug of wine and a roast chicken on the table. This is what she just bought for the second sister. I bought it by the way, as the saying goes that little devils are hard to deal with, so it is better to bribe these jailers so that Yinhua will not suffer in prison.

"Little girl is quite sensible, your lord, this is not where you came from, hurry back!" The two jailers originally wanted to drive her away, but seeing that she was more polite, their attitude eased.

Xu Ru is now 12 years old, she is dressed plainly, and she is relatively thin and immature, so they feel that she is not the kind of person who can take things seriously, but seeing her decent manners, they feel good about her again.

Seeing that the two jailers looked upright, and there was no contempt in their words, she said:

"Do the two big brothers know the most popular snack in Qinghe Town, Happy Bean?"

"I know this. My son is always making troubles with his mother to buy him happy beans these days. I'm chewing peanuts, but the taste is special." The jailer surnamed Liu said.

In fact, the pistachio beans are crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, and have a special taste. As a man who likes wine, he still likes to eat them.

"I also heard from my sister that this way of eating was introduced by a girl surnamed Xu. She has to go to Chunhui Street to buy it every two days." Another jailer said.

"That's it. The happy beans and the five-flavored boiled peanuts use my Xu family's unique spices. Of course, the taste is unique, and the one who developed this way of eating is my second sister. Well, it's in there now." Xu Ru responded. Said, pointing in the direction of the prison with his finger.

The dark-faced jailer dragged the other guard a step away, whispered something in his ear, and the jailer surnamed Liu looked thoughtful.

"You want to go in to see your second sister? Then you should hurry up, it will take a quarter of an hour." The cell boss surnamed Liu said to Xu Ru.

She didn't want to say anything more polite, so she followed him into the cell.

Yinhua was locked in the second room inside.When the jailer opened the cell door, Xu Ru and Yinhua hugged each other.

"Second Sister, how are you? Are you injured? Did they hit you?" She kept a distance, squeezed Yinhua's arm, and checked her clothes.

Well, there seems to be nothing wrong, except that her face is slightly flustered and her hair is slightly messy.

"Fourth sister, why did you come in so quickly, and they also arrested you? What should we do?" Seeing her coming in, Yinhua was about to cry.

"Second Sister, don't worry, I wasn't arrested, I came in to see you by myself. Look, I brought you food and food." She quickly comforted Yinhua and explained.

"Who told you to come, is this kind of place you can stay in as a little girl? Go back quickly and tell your mother not to worry about me. I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not afraid!" Yinhua wiped her tears He said forcefully, telling her to go out quickly.

She knew that this younger sister was more capable now, but they said that peanuts killed her, so she should just let her bear it alone, and Xu Ru must not be involved.

"I will find a way to find out about this matter. Don't you know if there is something wrong with our peanuts? If someone asks you, just say you don't know, and don't admit it casually. Don't worry at home, I think they should be responsible Wrong, you will come out tomorrow." After Xu Ru told Yinhua, and comforted her for a while, she was urged out of the cell by prison chief Liu.

In fact, she was not sure when the second sister would come out.

"Brother Liu, I hope you and this elder brother will take care of my second sister in the past two days. This is a little care from my little sister." Xu Ru took 50 taels of silver from her purse and stuffed it into the hands of the prison head named Liu.

"Xu's younger sister, you're welcome. My son often eats your happy beans, and he hasn't seen any problems. I believe your second sister will be fine. Let's forget about the money." After speaking, he stuffed the money back in her hand.

Where can Xu Ru get it back.All she can do now is to keep Yinhua from suffering in prison, spending a little money is nothing, she has to go home and find Dongmei to find out the situation, and the letter from the yamen will arrive tomorrow.

"Head, I don't think this little girl is simple. She dared to break into the prison alone. No wonder she is the one that the Ling family likes." The black-clothed jailer said vaguely while gnawing on a chicken leg.

"That is, the face of the Ling family is still to be given." Another person said loudly with a little pride.

In fact, a quarter of an hour earlier, someone had already come and explained that he should be more polite to the girl from the Xu family.

So she rented a carriage on the street, and ran back and forth several times today, only then did she feel tired and hungry.I spent the whole morning running around nervously, and I was already tired, so I fell asleep by leaning on it before I knew it.

It took less than an hour to ride a carriage from the town to Xujia'ao, and Xu Ru was woken up by the bumpy stone road before entering the village.Far away from her own courtyard, Xu Ru saw many people gathered there.

She felt a "thump" in her heart, thinking that something serious must have happened at home.
