Men are belligerent. Powerful weapons can not only keep them at bay, but also make their wishes come true and be invincible. This nature has been around for tens of thousands of years, so men prefer some guns, which is also a manifestation of the survival instinct in their genes.

Prince Wang's behavior has confirmed that Wen Meijiu's guess is not just a fantasy. What if he sees the thing and doesn't want to let it go?

Patting his chest gently, Wen Meijiu seemed to be still in shock. He tried to move his eyes to recall, and then said:

"Heida, oh, you are talking about that hidden weapon, right?

After the task was completed, I returned the item to Brother Zhang. The hidden weapon was not mine, so I couldn't possibly take it for myself."

Wen Meijiu used to be a killer, so she is very vigilant and most people don't want to follow her.

Both Prince Wang and Zhi Zheng were very skilled in martial arts, and she was not on guard against them, so she did not notice that they were being followed.

However, even if they were highly skilled in martial arts, she would be able to detect them quickly as long as they were very close to her.

Since she didn't notice it, then Prince Wang must have been following her from a distance.

Being so far away, it was impossible for him to know what exactly happened between her and Zhang Can, so any lie she made could be proven true.

"Brother Zhang, who is he?"

As expected, Wen Meijiu guessed it right. He didn't know who Zhang Can was, so this made things easier to handle.

"Brother Zhang is my sworn brother. He is on duty in the military camp and often encounters various dangers. If he has a handy hidden weapon like that, he will be much safer.

He was afraid something might happen on the road, so he lent it to me, but of course I had to return it afterwards."

The prince looked at Wen Meijiu's face suspiciously. He didn't believe her and asked:

"The Brother Zhang you are talking about is the leader who is in charge of transporting grain and grass?"

Wen Meijiu nodded. This guy could automatically match the numbers and his brain was very sharp. If you want to cheat him, you have to be careful.

"I saw that he didn't seem to know you at first, so how come he acknowledged you as his elder brother?"

Prince Wang's stern brows were tightly furrowed, and the wrinkles only grew wider.

Wen Meijiu chuckled, avoiding his scrutinizing gaze, and said slowly:

"This may be fate sent by God. I wanted to find someone to get some food to help my family get through the difficult times, and I happened to meet Brother Zhang who was escorting the food.

He felt sorry for me and that I was sensible, so he accepted me as his sister.

Brother Zhang is a kind and polite man. He felt that he should give my sister a gift when we met, but he didn't have anything to give her, so he gave the black lump to me.

But, you also saw it, that thing is too dangerous, it's scary, I used it twice, my hands were numb, and I finally gave it back to the owner."

"What's his name?"

Wen Meijiu estimated that Prince Wang would not be able to find Zhang Shen, so he said:

"Oh, Brother Zhang said that the county magistrate is a dog official. Not only is he corrupt, he also bullies the people. If you follow such a master, you will go to hell sooner or later.

So, he took a few brothers and fled overnight, saying that he was going to seek refuge with a new wise leader.

Because I left in such a hurry, I didn't have time to ask his name. "

Prince Wang knew, of course, that Wen Meijiu was not telling the truth, but she looked at him so sincerely, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes after the separation of a close friend, so he could not get anything out of her no matter how much he asked.

With a light snort, he put his hands behind his back, stood up straight, looked up at the beams and sighed:

"Forget it. A gentleman does not take away what others like. I will return the five taels of silver and the receipt to you."

"Really?"

Wen Meijiu was overjoyed. The gloom just now was swept away and he easily escaped the disaster. It was really a joy.

She was so happy that she forgot herself a little. She jumped up suddenly and clapped her hands unconsciously.

However, she immediately realized that she had lost her composure, and she raised her hands heavily, and finally closed them gently.

Afterwards, she smiled cautiously and said to Prince Wang:

"Thank you, sir. You are so kind and I hope you will live a long and happy life."

Prince Wang looked at her sideways and saw the smile on her face, which was mixed with caution and was very cute. He couldn't help but ask one more question:

"Don't we all say 'a house full of children and grandchildren'? Your term is quite new."

Wen Meijiu was stunned at first, then he suddenly said:

"You don't have a wife yet?

When you have a wife, I will naturally say that you will have many children and grandchildren."

Madam, he has not thought about getting married. He is already in danger of losing his life, so how can he have the leisure to get married?

Thinking of what he had been through, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He slowly lowered his head, his eyes filled with darkness.

He suddenly became depressed, and Wen Meijiu didn't know what was going on. She looked at him quietly for a long time, wondering if he was depressed because he missed someone he loved.

He remained silent for a long time, as if he was lost in thought. Wen Meijiu didn't want to disturb him, so she just stood beside him and watched him quietly until he came back to his senses. Then she spoke:

"Do you have the written document with you, sir?"

Wen Meijiu knew of course that he must have the document with him, otherwise, why would he come here today to bargain with her.

She said this to remind him indirectly that she couldn't just order him to take out the note and return it to her.

Naturally, she didn't dare to ask him to return the five taels of silver directly.

Of course, she was not afraid that he would not give it to her. A young man from a noble family like him always kept his word and would definitely not ruin his reputation because of such a small matter.

Sure enough, Young Master Wang did not let her down and immediately called Zhi Zheng to come in.

He raised his chin to signal Zhi Zheng, who immediately understood. He took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Wen Meijiu, and returned the receipt to her.

Wen Meijiu took the silver and the receipt, and burned the note in front of Prince Wang.

He raised his hand and weighed the silver in his hand. He always felt that the amount was wrong, so Wen Meijiu opened the purse to check.

Upon closer inspection, she saw that in addition to the five taels of silver coins, there were also four silver ingots of five taels each. What did this mean? Could it be that the silver in her family was giving birth to a litter of silver for her?

If the child wasn't Yin Zi's own, then how could it have been given to her by this prince?

This is not very likely. Although he is trustworthy, there is no reason for him to give her so much money, unless he has done something wrong to her and this is a compensation to her.

"Sir, no merit, no reward."

She would definitely take what belonged to her, and if it didn't belong to her, Wen Meijiu was never greedy for money, so as to avoid falling into traps set by others.

Wen Meijiu took out the twenty taels of silver and held it in front of Prince Wang.

"No one comes here for no reason. Miss Wen, you don't think we come here just for stuttering, right?"

Prince Wang made a light comment and reached out to push back Wen Meijiu's hand.

Wen Meijiu was slightly surprised. He certainly didn't come to their house for a bite of food, but he definitely didn't come to give her money.

He wanted her pistol, and she had already refused. Didn't he want to let it go?

"If you don't explain clearly, I won't take the money."
