big sister headed home

Chapter 57

In addition to the purse with the name embroidered on it, County Magistrate Wang also sent someone to find a dagger from Sun Mazi's house. With this dagger, there is even more ironclad evidence. It has been specially inspected by Wu Zuo. The knife edge on the deceased came from this dagger. .

Silver, purse, and dagger' The three major physical evidences are gathered together, and the iron evidence is like a mountain' So far, Dou Dalan and Sun Mazi have no way to deny it.

The county magistrate of Wang made an order in court to 'have the two of them sign and draw a bond' and put them in prison 'to wait for the autumn queen to be executed.

It was said that 'Dou Dalan and his face were like ashes' and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy loudly' "bang bang bang" kowtowed their heads, wanting the magistrate Wang to spare their lives'

County Magistrate Wang ignored this, and County Magistrate Wang would not be merciful to such a heinous person who robbed people, property, murdered and killed them. Among them, so far, this pile is really broken.

The case was solved, and County Magistrate Wang happily rewarded Dou Hua and others who had captured the two. According to the reward announcement, he rewarded Dou Hua and the others with 50 taels of silver in court.

As a junior, Dou Hua did not step forward to take the money, but it was Dou Shunyi who took it.

Now that the case was over, there was no need for Dou Hua and the others to stay in the yamen. They left the yamen after they bid farewell to County Magistrate Wang.

Dou Hua and the others left the yamen, it was already noon, and when it was time for lunch, the big guys got up early in the morning, hurriedly picked up a couple of breakfasts, and brought Wang Dayan and the others to send them off to the officials. After passing by, they were all hungry, so hungry, Dou Shunyi suggested to find a small restaurant to have a meal, and said that this meal was a treat for him.

Everyone has no objection, they are all hungry right now, it would be best if they could find a place to eat, and it was Master Lizheng's treat, so why not do it.

The people in the village were not that particular, so they randomly found a restaurant that looked pretty good, and walked in.Dou Shunyi had eaten at this restaurant before, and ordered several delicious and inexpensive dishes, several of which were meat dishes, and a basket of steamed buns was enough. They are all rare.

The few men who came with them were so happy to eat, how could they have spare money to go to restaurants, and they sighed in their hearts that it was not bad to come with them, and they could have a good meal.

There were a lot of them, and they were hungry. They buried their heads in a meal, and a table of meals entered people's stomachs in a short time. At the end, they poured down a bowl of egg drop soup, which was really full.

After eating, the group didn't leave in a hurry, they wanted to sit there and have a rest before leaving, and it was hot outside, so walking back at this moment was in vain to be exposed to the sun.

Dou Shunyi asked the waiter in the restaurant to remove the bowls and chopsticks from the table, wipe the table clean, and ordered a large pot of tea, and they sat and drank tea here, hoping to wait for the sun to set before leaving.

After the table was cleared, Dou Shunyi took out the five silver ingots that the magistrate Wang had rewarded from his arms, and put them in front of Dou Hua's table, "Girl Dou, you put away the money. It's very heavy in your hand, why don't you ask Brother Jianming to take you to Yinzhuang to exchange for bank notes, it's easier to carry."

"Second Grandpa, how can you give me all the money? This is not possible. Although I caught Wang Dayan and the others, but without Second Grandpa you and the help of all the villagers in the village, how can I deal with them alone? I can't take this silver." Dou Hua said and pushed the silver to the middle of the table.

"Miss Dou, just accept it. We all know that you captured these two people. We are just doing a little favor. The money should be yours." The people at the other table began to speak.

"That's right, you were the one who caught the man, and it's appropriate for you to take the money." At the moment, no one is greedy for the money. They only think that although Dou Hua is a girl, she is courageous and capable, not an ordinary person. , Which girl can be as powerful as her, supporting the following four younger siblings by herself, and the life is getting better and better.

"Look at what the big guys say, you can keep the money. There are a few young people in your family who need the money." Dou Shunyi said.

Dou Hua still shook her head, thought for a while and said, "How about this, I will take ten taels of this money, second grandpa you get ten taels, and the rest of the second grandpa you can share with the big guys, as long as everyone who came out last night deserves it." One share is also my family's gratitude to the big guys, thanks to the folks for their help, although the money is not much, it is also a heartfelt gift from Dou Hua."

Dou Shunyi declined a few more words. Seeing that Dou Hua insisted on doing this, he agreed and followed her instructions. He also felt that Dou Hua's actions were quite right. Not only would he gain a good reputation, but in the future there would be more family members. For some embarrassing things, the villagers will also be willing to step forward to help. This relationship is only close because there are backs and forths.

Dou Hua put her own ten taels of silver into her bosom, thinking that since she came to the county, she would go to various shops, buy some if she needed anything, and save another trip, in fact To put it bluntly, Dou Hua wanted to go shopping.

Dou Hua and Dou Shunyi talked and made an appointment for them to come back in an hour, and they took Dou Qing out of the restaurant.

Walking around all the way, I bought a bag of cabbage seeds in the seed shop, and bought two beautiful patterns in the embroidery room, as well as bright embroidery threads of various colors. Naturally, I bought these for Dou Cui. Like this, Dou Hua is willing to buy it for her.

I went to the butcher shop and cut two catties of meat, and bought a piece of fat oil. Pancakes made with fat oil are the most delicious, and rapeseed oil is used for cooking. Following the concept of health, Dou Hua's family eats vegetable oil and animal oil occasionally.

I bought two soap lozenge creams in the rouge shop and used it to wash my hair. Summer is no better than winter. I love to sweat. People in ancient times have long hair. Those who love to clean should wash more frequently, otherwise it will smell and hair will be greasy. , very uncomfortable.

Walking and shopping all the way, bought some things, wandered around, there is nothing to buy, the variety of things here is pitiful, and it is too hot, Dou Hua has no interest, so she took Dou Qing back Walk.

Passing by Baohetang drug store, Xiao Wu was working in the store, drowsy behind the counter, trying to force himself, looking at the street boredly with his chin on his hands, and saw Dou Hua and the two at a glance.

Xiao Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted, "Miss Dou, Miss Dou, go slowly, stay~" and chased him out.

When Dou Hua heard someone shouting, she stopped, looked for the sound, and saw Xiao Wu, a boy from Baohetang, running out of the store in a hurry.

"Brother Wu, are you calling me?" Dou Hua asked.

"Yes, I'm calling you." Xiao Wu came to Dou Hua.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Dou Hua asked.

"That's it. A few days ago, I told you about the several kinds of medicinal herbs. I don't know if you have dug them up the mountain?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I've been busy these few days, I can't be free, and I haven't been to the mountain yet, why are these few kinds of herbs so important?" Dou Hua asked.

Xiao Wu said with a look of disappointment, "Yes, these kinds of herbs are very important to my master. These are the herbs needed in a prescription. He has been looking for these kinds of herbs these days, but unfortunately he couldn't find them."

"Oh, so that's how it is. How about it? I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and search as much as I can. If I can find it, I'll send it to you." Dou Hua said, because of the murder case, she had been guarding at home a few days ago. A few small ones didn't go up the mountain. Now that there is a murder case, it would be good to go up the mountain to dig some herbs and sell them for some money.

"That's really great, there is Miss Lao Dou, as long as you dig up herbs, you can bring them, and I will give you a good price." Xiao Wu said happily.

Dou Hua and Xiao Wu chatted for a while, then took Dou Qing to the restaurant.

On the way, Dou Qing said, "Sister, take me up the mountain tomorrow, I want to go with you." This is not the first time he has made this request, and Dou Hua has never agreed, and wants to take him with him when he is older go.

But today Dou Qing is very persistent, her eyes full of firmness.

Looking at her persistent younger brother, Dou Hua finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow, but when you go into the mountains, you have to listen to me and follow me closely. You can only touch what I tell you to touch. Now It's summer, and there are a lot of insects, ants and poisonous snakes in the mountains, if you don't do it well, you will be bitten."

"Well, elder sister, I know, I won't touch it casually." Dou Qing smiled happily. He has always felt sorry for Dou Hua and always wanted to help her. He is the man in the family and he doesn't want the eldest sister to worry He wants to prove that he can do the burden of the family, and he has been working hard in that direction. He always rushes to do the work of the family. He is not afraid of hardship, which is the true nature of a man.

Dou Hua and his brother went back to the restaurant, and Dou Shunyi and the others were still sitting on the table drinking tea. Seeing Dou Hua and the others coming back, Dou Shunyi told her what they had just discussed, "Girl Dou, what did we say to you just now?" Discussed the money for this reward, and felt that it would be better for each household to share some of this money. It was too dark last night, and everyone was busy looking at the two of them, Wang and Dayan. No one knew how many people there were. Come on, I'm not sure who will come forward, but now every household shares some, which seems fair, no one will be missed, and no one will say anything, what do you think?"

As an elder, Dou Shunyi is still willing to ask Dou Hua for her opinion. It can be seen that she still cares about Dou Hua. Dou Hua thinks that it doesn't matter how she divides it, so she nodded and said, "Second Grandpa is right, you are a villager in the village. It would be better if you presided over it, I have no objection, it would be fine."

Seeing that the sun was getting lower, Dou Hua and the others drove the donkey cart back home without any delay. Under the leadership of Dou Shunyi, the money they got was distributed from house to house. There were not many people in Dou's Village. , there are more than a hundred families, and now each family gets one share, and each family can pay more than two hangs.

Now, the whole village of Doujia Village was overjoyed. Originally, it was very difficult for farmers to earn some money, but this was free money. Although two slings of money were not a lot, it was enough to cut dozens of catties of meat. Full can make the hand more abundant.

People were happy when they got the money, and they were full of praise when they mentioned Dou Hua. Suddenly, Dou Hua's reputation improved a lot.
