You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

There was a noise outside. Su Wanning was stunned for a while, then got up and walked out.

There was a group of people making trouble in the lobby.

Seeing Zhong Jingnan and Su Wanning who had been behind them, they walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Zhong Jingnan turned around and saw Su Wanning, reached out and pulled her aside.

"I'm afraid today's incident is directed at you."

Su Wanning was puzzled, but after Zhong Jingnan explained, she was sure that it was really as Zhong Jingnan said, that they were coming for them.

The cause was that a person living in a large dormitory lost several kilograms of food, and it was suspected that other people in the exile team took it away.

Now they were clamoring for the officials in charge of exile to search everyone's room one by one. Those who had food naturally did not want the officials to search, so they started arguing in the lobby.

It seems that someone was dissatisfied with the fact that they sold the tiger and bought so much food yesterday. They were not living well themselves, but they were even more dissatisfied with others.

Su Wanning looked at the crowd and saw several people with bad intentions, the constipated Wan Ting family, and the weak Su family members.

Wan Ting saw Su Wanning as if she had found a life-saving straw.

"Niece-in-law, can you lend us some money?"

The moment Wan Ting approached, Su Wanning took a few steps back, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeves, her face full of disgust, "Second Aunt, why do you stink so much? We're in the inn now, the hot water is free, why don't you take a shower?"

Wan Ting's face flushed red. When the others heard Su Wanning's words, they all looked at Wan Ting, and then moved away from her.

Wan Ting felt the gazes of the people around her and ran back to her room in shame and anger.

Zhong Jingnan reminded her, "Although we are all family, if you embarrass her in front of everyone, I'm afraid she will cause trouble for you."

Su Wanning didn't care much. She had lived for so long by chance, so why should she care so much?

But he still nodded to Zhong Jingnan, indicating that he would pay attention.

Then he returned to the room and put everything except the food he bought today into the space.

As soon as I received the space, I heard a knock on the door in the corridor.

The officers were waiting at the door with a lot of people. It seemed that while she was upstairs, the other people in the team had somehow persuaded the other members of the exile team.

But no matter what, I am afraid that even if they bought new grain, the officials who were at odds with them would find a way to take some away.

Su Wanning quickly came to Zhan Zhan Yiran's room and asked her to speed up and report to the authorities, saying that they had lost five thousand taels of silver notes. The yamen runners would naturally report faster knowing that they were reporting such a large amount, after all, they could also make a lot of money from it.

As he expected, as soon as the exiled officials knocked on their door, Su Wanning saw from the window that the city's yamen runners entered the inn.

He walked over and opened the door, "Is there anything I can do for you, gentlemen?"

Li Si said perfunctorily, "Of course someone lost something."

"What is it that requires your Excellency to lead people to search room by room?"

Li Si's eyes dodged, but he straightened up in an instant, "Let's talk after we finish searching."

As he said that, Li Si and several officers broke into the room.

"Who reported it to the police?" someone suddenly shouted from the back of the crowd.

Su Wanning smiled and asked everyone to make way, and several yamen runners came over.

"Sir, I am the one who reported the matter to the police."

The leading yamen runner glanced at Su Wanning, then looked at the others, "What are all these people doing?"

Su Wanning immediately responded, "Sir, this official said he wants to search our room, saying someone has lost something."

The yamen runner knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. His eyes were filled with disappointment, but he still asked as usual, "What was lost?"

The moment Li Si saw the yamen runners coming, he knew that they would be disappointed this time.

After all, they knew clearly that the father-in-law of the county magistrate in this city was a wealthy businessman, and they fully supported the county magistrate to be an honest official, and even his subordinates had no selfish motives.

He answered honestly, "I lost 15 kilograms of food."

Su Wanning handed the list of yesterday's purchases to the yamen runner at the door. "This is the list of what we bought yesterday. I hope you can help us count and see if the 15 kilograms of grain they lost is with us."

The leading yamen runner took the list, took a look at it, and handed it to the person behind him.

The inventory was completed in a short while. "Except for the items on the list, there is no other food in the room."

The leading yamen runner looked at Li Si and said, "It is indeed not this girl's family who took your things."

"Your Excellency is right." Li Si smiled and looked angrily at the man behind him, "Is such a small amount of food worth mobilizing our forces? Go back."

In a blink of an eye, only a few yamen runners were left outside the corridor.

"Since the girl has nothing else to do, we will go back first."

Su Wanning took the silver note of one hundred taels and handed it to the leading yamen runner, "Excuse me, sir, please have a cup of tea with these."

The leading yamen runner glanced at Su Wanning, and then thought of the many things on the list, he must be a wealthy man.

He casually took the banknote and said, "I will accept this banknote on behalf of the people of Qingcheng."

At first, Su Wanning didn't understand what the yamen runner meant until the sun set and she went to the tavern for dinner.

It turned out that every time the bailiffs from the government office went out to handle a case, the people would give them some gifts of thanks, more or less.

But if these gifts are silver, they will be used to repair the beggars' homes or for the poor people.

If the thank you gift is some vegetables, it will be sent to the nearest Moral Education Academy.

It was a place for children without parents, with a school and rooms to live in.

It sounds like a modern school.

If it wasn't so late, she really wanted to go over and take a look.

What surprised Su Wanning was that it rained heavily the next day.

Su Wanning thought of the academy that she had heard people talk about yesterday, and stood up to go there.

Zhan Yiran wanted to follow, but Su Wanning was afraid that she would get wet in the rain, so she asked her to stay in the inn. Zhan Lingfeng volunteered to follow Su Wanning out.

There were no officers guarding the door downstairs, so the two of them walked out quickly.

Zhan Lingfeng looked at the heavy rain and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go get the raincoat."

Su Wanning grabbed her directly. The last time she bought the raincoat, she clearly felt its weight when she carried it. The raincoat alone weighed more than three pounds, and it would probably be even heavier after being caught in the rain.

If I really walked in that outfit, I would be exhausted before I even got there.

He took out two big umbrellas and handed one to Zhan Lingfeng.

Zhan Lingfeng took a look at what Su Wanning handed him and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this... an umbrella?"

Su Wanning nodded, held the umbrella handle with her right hand, pressed the button, and the whole umbrella opened with a bang.

Zhan Lingfeng was shocked. What kind of umbrella was this? It was so magical that it opened directly by pressing a button.

He followed Su Wanning's example and pressed the button to open the umbrella.

Reaching out and touching the thing covering the umbrella, "Sister-in-law, this is cloth, it won't keep out the rain."
