Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Jiang Dafu is indeed a businessman and often does business with government officials. His advantage is reflected at this time. He is holding a glass of wine and waiting in a tea stall near the road crossing, waiting for the yamen runners who will stop them today.

"Sir, you are off duty now. Would you like to sit down and have some tea? It is very hot now and you may get heat stroke easily."

When the yamen runner saw this, he realized that this was the merchant who had generously given money in the morning. Now someone else was giving money again, so he happily walked over with his companions.

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you, in catching thieves for this county. I just don't know what kind of thieves are those that require you to mobilize so many troops. This is the first time I've seen one guarding a town." Jiang Dafu hoped to get more information out of the other party.

However, it is not so easy to get information from the officials. No one would be willing to tell you without some price.

"Ahaha, we can't talk about this. This is a government matter. How can you know about it?" The yamen runner who had collected their money before looked older. He spoke with a smile and tapped his hands on the table.

"Oh, I understand, I understand, don't worry, my lords." Jiang Dafu secretly put the purse into the other party's hand and asked, "I wonder if I can invite you two to have a drink together?"

"It's a pity that we can't drink while on duty, but it's still okay to sit there for an hour or two."

"Okay, okay, then, please, my two lords. I have booked a private room in the restaurant in front. I hope you will come and visit me."

Seeing that the other party was so understanding, the yamen runner stopped making things difficult for him and took the initiative to tell his name, "Okay, thank you very much."

Seeing that the other party was willing to take the bait, Jiang Dafu tried to get closer to him. He first called a carriage and took them to the most famous restaurant in the town.

When they arrived at the private room, he deliberately asked the waiter to order the restaurant's best dishes and most expensive wine in front of the two of them.

After three rounds of drinks, Jiang Dafu finally got to the point. "I wonder what your names are, my surname is Jiang, and my given name is Dafu."

"Oh, it's Brother Jiang. I'm Duan San, and this is my brother Lei Si. If you have any business next time you come to our town, just say our names." Duan San was the man who collected the money before, and Lei Si was just a brother.

"Okay, thank you Brother Duan and Brother Lei, but I just want to know if we can leave the city today. You know I'm a businessman, and we came here to see if we can buy food. We didn't expect to encounter this murder case as soon as we arrived. We don't know who the murderer is, and we don't know how long it will take to investigate this case."

"That's easy. My other brother is on night duty tonight. I'll tell him to let you go out. But you have to wait until after dark. There will be fewer people there, so it will be more convenient for you to go out."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you? But, you know, it won't just be my brother who will be on duty. There will be other people too, so we have to make some arrangements. So, this..." Duan San deliberately didn't finish his words, waiting for Jiang Dafu to take the initiative.

"Oh, I see. Of course I understand. Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, Jiang Dafu pulled out a larger silver bag from his sleeve. There were at least 20-30 taels of silver in it, enough for all of them to pass.

After Duan San received it, he shook it with his hand, very satisfied, "Okay, you are worthy of being Brother Jiang, you are so straightforward, let's drink this cup now, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me, Duan San, I will help you with it."

"Okay, let's do it."

After taking care of Duan San and Lei Si, Jiang Dafu called a car to take the two drunk people back home.

"How is it, Boss Jiang?" Tian Xing'er and the others waited in the inn for a whole day today, and Jiang Dafu only came back when the sun went down. Everyone was anxiously waiting for his answer.

Jiang Dafu smiled and said, "Fortunately I have fulfilled my mission!"

"Okay, great, when do we leave?"

"We can pack up now and leave as soon as it gets dark."

"Row."

Tian Xing'er and his group had been ready for a long time, just waiting for news from Jiang Dafu. Now that they have received the result, they are just waiting for dark.

After having dinner and buying some dry food, Tian Xing'er and others set out from the inn. It was already dark by then, and because they were afraid that it might not be good to go there too early, they waited for more than half an hour before setting out.

Unexpectedly, when they set out, there were two other groups of people in the inn, also waiting for them to set out together. I guess everyone went to make connections, so there must be quite a few people leaving tonight.

"Let's go faster. It will be bad if too many people leave and they are not allowed to leave." Tian Zhenwei reminded everyone to speed up.

Everyone hurried towards the crossing again. Fortunately, there were not many people there at the moment. Only two or three people were coming in and out.

"Who are you? Get off the car for inspection."

Jiang Dafu had prepared a small bag of money, and hurriedly got off the carriage and walked over. "Hey, sir, we are friends of Duan San. This is a small gift, not a token of respect. This is a token from Duan San. Take a look."

Fortunately, Jiang Dafu asked Duan San for a token of his love, for he was afraid that they would get drunk and forget to tell others.

The person who blocked the road happened to be the friend mentioned by Duan San. He picked up the small board handed over by Jiang Dafu, looked at it, and confirmed that it was indeed the proof used by them to receive money privately. Then he shook the purse in his hand and found that it was large enough.

"Okay, he did tell you to leave quickly. I won't be responsible if it's too late."

"Hey, thank you, big brother."

A few people finally got out of the intersection and looked back at the people behind them. Some of them handed in the same token as them, while some others seemed to have nothing and were arguing with others. But this had nothing to do with them anymore. Now they just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

"Boss Jiang, we're really thankful to have you here this time, otherwise we wouldn't know how to get out." Finally they left the town far away. Tian Xing'er was sincerely thankful that Jiang Dafu had come with them this time, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to handle this. Maybe they just wanted to fight, or just wait there to get out, and they didn't have the ability to flatter others.

"Miss Xing'er, you are too kind. This is just a normal interaction. I am familiar with it. Maybe the place you were in before was better than ours. You don't need to curry favor with the officials like this."

"Yes, yes, you are right." Tian Xinger said a little embarrassedly. She relied on her father, who was also an official. As for Shang County, it was a poor county and the county magistrate wanted to develop, so there was no need to deal with them.

It was only when I arrived in their area that I realized that there were not so many good officials and I was just thinking too much.

Think about how Uncle Fu and Big Brother have built up connections along the way, and they must have had to socialize with a lot of people. I can only think of myself as having a good life, since I can't compare to others who started from scratch.

After walking for more than two hours, they had completely left. Jiang Dafu introduced the situation of the next county to Tian Xinger and others, but he himself seldom came here.

"The next county is Kanglai County. I'm not very familiar with this county. I thought we didn't need to go here before, but I heard that the county magistrate here is quite good. It's just that they are close to the inland, sandwiched in the middle, and their development is limited. They are not famous. If we hadn't had to pass through this place this time, I wouldn't have taken you here."

"
