The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

These changes by Jia Daoshi were somewhat sudden.

But neither Murong Jiu nor Di Qinglin could be disliked!

There was even some joy!

This is a classic example of "women don't love men who aren't a little bad!"

It's a social phenomenon similar to how beautiful women all fall for bad men.

The three walked down the street, which was bustling with people. Among them were many martial arts practitioners carrying swords and broadswords, as well as some beautiful women from the Western Regions. There were also many people dressed in strange costumes. The three of them walked in the middle and did not stand out much.

Soon, the group arrived at a very ordinary-looking courtyard house, which faced the street.

This courtyard is a very simple bungalow with a corridor on the side facing the street. It is surrounded by green plants such as bamboo and pine trees, which is very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, you can smell the fragrance of grass and trees as soon as you get close. It can be seen that these ancient people knew how to enjoy life.

Outside the shop's corridor and in the courtyard, some awnings were set up, with tables under each awning. Many people were already eating there, including wandering swordsmen, merchants, and ordinary people.

Jia Daoshi had a very keen sense of smell; he followed the scent.

The shop's name is also quite interesting; it's called Pig Three Fortune Inn, which probably specializes in selling pork.

Since Jia Daoshi had money in his pocket, he didn't stand on ceremony and ordered three bowls of pork bone noodles with seven catties of pork bones. The three of them ate with great relish!

My two wives are both too thin, they don't have any curves at all, they need to be properly nourished.

After the food was served, Di Qinglin frowned and said, "This must cost a lot of money, right? My lord, it's a bit extravagant for us to eat so much."

Pork wasn't cheap back then. So many pork bones and pork bone noodles would cost at least several taels of silver!

Murong Jiu was also very distressed.

Hearing Di Qinglin's words, the waiter laughed and said, "Madams, you are joking! Your husbands are the cousins ​​of the young manager of Guang Sheng Hao Pharmacy. Eating this is too meager for them. It is an honor for our humble establishment that the three of you can dine here!"

Coincidentally, the waiter had just been eating melons at Guang Sheng Hao restaurant and had only just run back to the restaurant.

"What? The young manager of Guang Sheng Hao? Isn't that Ji Yuan? Are you his cousin?"

Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu turned to look at Jia Daoshi almost simultaneously!

"Ha..." Jia Daoshi scratched his head. "Let's eat first, let's eat first."

The waiter placed a dish of pickled vegetables from the plate on the table and then turned around to continue serving other customers.

"My lord, how did you become Ji Yuan's cousin?" Murong Jiu asked with a puzzled look.

Di Qinglin was also watching intently from the side.

Jia Daoshi picked up a piece of pork bone and started gnawing on it, his voice somewhat muffled: "I call him little brother, so of course he has to acknowledge me as his older brother."

"kindness??"

This left not only Murong Jiu bewildered, but Di Qinglin was even more confused.

Little brother?

Di Qinglin pointed to his head: "Jia Daoshi, is there something wrong with this part of you?"

Was Jia Daoshi Ji Yuan's cousin?

This sounds absolutely absurd!

"Hey! If you can't speak properly, then shut up." Jia Daoshi feigned anger, grabbed a bone, and stuffed it into Di Qinglin's mouth!

"Hmph!" Di Qinglin's face darkened again.

Jia Daoshi said helplessly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. But this matter is rather complicated. In short, Ji Yuan's problem has been solved, and he won't cause us any more trouble!"

"Really? Did Ji Yuan really let me go? And what about that contract of servitude?"

What Murong Jiu cared about most was this indenture.

"of course."

Jia Daoshi reached into his pocket and pulled out the indenture.

"I've already gotten this back!"

Di Qinglin reached out and took it, and Murong Jiu leaned over to look at it.

Sure enough, it was the indenture that Ji Yuan had been holding that day!

"Ah Jiu, I'll tear it up right now!" Di Qinglin's face darkened as soon as he saw it, and he tore the indenture into countless pieces in no time!

Jia Daoshi: "..."

It's clear that Di Qinglin has a very fiery temper.

"My lord! If you do such a thing again, I will never let you off!" Di Qinglin said fiercely.

"How dare you speak to your husband like that?" Jia Daoshi said sternly. "Alright, from now on, if you follow me, you'll never have to suffer again! Let's not say anything more!"

"My lord, what about these two hundred taels of silver..." Murong Jiu hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Needless to say, this is even more obvious." Jia Daoshi took out two silver ingots from his person and placed them on the table. "See? Not only did I not give him any money, I also took a hundred taels from him!"

"You took one hundred taels from him?"

Di Qinglin looked incredulous.

"That's right, it was Ji Yuan who gave it to me."

"This is impossible!"

Jia Daoshi smiled and recounted the general course of events.

"So, under those circumstances, he had to meet any conditions I set! That's why I sent you to find Constable Xing."

"Only someone like Constable Xing, who can't tolerate any flaws, would truly frighten Ji Yuan!"

"After all, officials don't fight with merchants. Even if Ji Yuan is arrogant, he wouldn't openly oppose the county government."

"I see." Di Qinglin nodded, then continued, "Ji Yuan suffered such a loss, he certainly won't let us off the hook. What should we do if he retaliates afterward?"

Ji Yuan's wealth and influence are greater than theirs.

Jia Daoshi was just a farmer; he had neither money nor manpower.

If the other party retaliates, they will definitely be powerless to fight back.

“Ah Jiu, since your husband has done this, he must have left himself a backup plan.”

In addition to threatening Ji Yuan to hand over the indenture, he also made him write a document for selling the illegal drug Yin Yang He He San, and then he signed and pressed his fingerprint on it.

Of course, this is not just a matter of verbal threats. Mei Er and Shen Fei, who are by Ji Yuan's side, will probably be bedridden for quite some time.

After doing all this, Jia Daoshi did not destroy Ji Yuan's Yin-Yang Harmony Powder.

After all, even if Ji Yuan doesn't sell it, someone else will.

When doing things, there's no need to go to extremes.

Moreover, he will be living in Yilan County for quite some time to come.

……

After finishing the meal, the bill came to three taels of silver.

Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin hadn't had such a hearty meal in a long time, and they both looked completely satisfied when they left.

Jia Daoshi took Murong Jiu directly to the old doctor he had met yesterday.

Even now, Jia Daoshi can't forget that frail figure who came out to find him in the midst of a snowstorm, leaning on her cane!

Murong Jiu is at most a teenager, in the prime of her life, just beginning her journey. Does she have to rely on crutches for the rest of her life?

Fortunately, the old doctor was very skilled and had a unique prescription for bone injuries. After treatment, he really cured Murong Jiu's legs.

The cost was not low; it totaled ten taels of silver!

But seeing Murong Jiu's face, so excited she was about to cry, made me realize...

Jia Daoshi felt that the money was well spent!
