The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

"...So, Yun Qing is fine now, except that he can't see or speak. Otherwise, he's just like a normal person."

Xiao Hei listened attentively. When he heard that his master could walk out of the cave on his own, catch fish in the river, drive an ox cart down the mountain, and kill snakes with a wooden needle... he became more and more excited. Is this really his master? His wise and powerful master has finally returned!

"We're in Daxing Town, very close to Laochen Village, so we're in danger. To avoid suspicion, Yunqing said we were traveling from Yunzhou. We're brother and sister, and you're my cousin, so don't let anything slip."

Xiao Hei nodded carefully and looked at Mu Qingcheng with gratitude. He had never thought that the little girl he met by chance in the mountains could actually detoxify his master and save his life.

Front yard of the inn!

Yun Qing showed Boss Zhou the drawing he had drawn last night, which was the drawing for modifying the ox cart.

He wanted to take Mu Qingcheng north. It must have started snowing in the north now! The ox cart must have a compartment that can protect from the wind and cold. The flatbed cart couldn't protect against the wind and snow, so it had to be abandoned.

Boss Zhou thought the cart was still new and it would be a shame to throw it away, so he suggested to Yun Qing that he dismantle the cart and convert it into a carriage, and then add new materials if it was not enough, so that he could save some money.

Yun Qing thought it was feasible, so Boss Zhou personally took the blueprints and pulled a cart to find the carpenter in the town.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped as soon as he arrived at the market.

"Cattle thief! Cattle thief! We've got you!" A woman ran out of the crowd and grabbed the ox cart, refusing to let go. "Oh my! Where's my ox cart? Where are my cattle? Cattle thief, give my cattle back to me!"

Zhou Da looked at the woman who was throwing a tantrum in confusion.

"Who are you? You say it's your car, so it's yours? What evidence do you have to prove it's your car? Don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."

Mr. Zhou has run an inn in this town for nearly twenty years. Though small, it's well-known among the traveling merchants. Mr. Zhou's full name is Zhou Da. He has a good temper, always welcoming everyone with a smile, warm hospitality, and thorough and thoughtful service. The merchants who visit have spontaneously named this inn "Zhou's Inn."

Speaking of Zhou Da from the Zhou Family Inn, everyone living in Daxing Town knew Zhou Da because they had never tasted Zhou's buns. Even beggars on the street were often given alms by Zhou Da.

Suddenly, a crazy woman blocked the road in the street, saying that Zhou Da had stolen her ox cart, and people soon gathered around.

"How is this possible! You must be seeing things!"

"How could Zhou Da possibly steal your ox cart?"

"Yes! Where are you from? How can you make random accusations?"

"That's it!"

Everyone in the town was indignant and spoke up for Zhou Da.

The woman suddenly went crazy, sat down on the ground to block Zhou Da's way, slapped her thighs and howled at the top of her lungs.

"You damn cattle thieves... You're all his accomplices. How could I not recognize my own ox cart? We only bought this cart less than three months ago and you stole it. Now only the cart is left, but where are my cattle? Did you sell them?"

More and more people gathered around, and the woman's crying made Zhou Da's heart tighten. Could it be that this ox cart was really stolen? Thinking about the three people in the store, they didn't look like the kind of people who would steal an ox cart.

"Sister-in-law, please don't cry. Tell me when and where did you lose your ox cart?"

Zhou Da put down the cart and tried to comfort the woman. The woman wiped her face with her sleeve and said sadly.

"Three months ago, my husband was driving a bullock cart to Daxing Town to deliver goods. He was knocked unconscious on the way. When he woke up, the cart was gone."

When the woman talked about her sad part, she started crying again.

"My poor husband got hit on the head and nearly lost his life. He was bedridden for half a month. You damned cattle thief! Return my cart and pay for our medical expenses, or I'll report you to the police."

Zhou Da's expression eased a little. The woman's ox cart was lost three months ago, and the young man from his shop just came to Daxing Town yesterday. Could he have been cheated?

The people around were also talking about it. Seeing that the woman was crying miserably, it didn't seem like she was lying.

"I'm afraid they ran into bandits. I heard that caravans delivering goods to Daxing Town have been robbed recently."

"Oh! The bandits on Dongling Mountain have been causing a lot of trouble lately."

"Sister-in-law, did your husband see who knocked him out?"

The woman was still frightened when she mentioned this incident. Her lips trembled as she said, "Yes...we encountered bandits who robbed us of our money...there were five of them! All of them were holding axe..." She looked around vigilantly and didn't dare to say anything more.

Someone who was familiar with Zhou Da asked, "Old Zhou, did you buy this ox cart? I never heard you mention buying an ox cart."

Zhou Da shook his head helplessly and said, "This cart is not mine. Three strangers stayed at my inn. They were driving an ox cart."

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said anxiously, "It must be them. They must have beaten my man and robbed my ox cart. They are robbers. I want to report it to the police... I want to report it to the police!"

Zhou Da scolded him with an unhappy look on his face, "Don't talk nonsense! How dare you call him a robber when you haven't even met him? If I really want to sue the authorities, they will charge you with slandering an innocent citizen."

The woman was so frightened that she stopped yelling. Zhou Da then said to her, "My guests just arrived in Daxing Town yesterday, and your oxcart was lost three months ago. How can you prove it was yours? If you want it back, you need a witness."

Everyone around nodded in agreement.

The woman refused to give in and said, "Of course we have witnesses. The man who sold the cattle to my family was Old Sun from Dahe Village. He's the only one raising cattle around here. This cart was made by my husband himself. We're carpenters, and the neighbors around here can testify."

Zhou Da nodded and said, "Since you have a witness, sister-in-law, please go and get him. I'll pull the car back now. When your witness arrives, come find me at the Zhou Inn. You don't have to worry about me running away. Everyone in this town knows me, Zhou Da."

Everyone around him agreed.

The woman still refused to believe it and said, "This ox cart is not yours. How can you decide the matter? What if you go back and tip them off and they run away in the ox cart?"

Zhou Da thought about it and felt that what the woman said made sense: "How about this, you come back to the inn with me to watch over the ox cart. Then I'll ask someone to notify your family to bring witnesses. That would work."

The woman thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She looked around and saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face lit up and she said, "This is Old Man Sun's granddaughter. When my husband and I went to buy cattle, Miss Sun was there too. She must know the cattle raised by our family."
