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

"Even the village head hasn't seen Jia Daoshi, so where could he have gone?"

Jia An stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

His words were clearly ill-intentioned.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jia Yan said, "Hey, hey, hey! Did everyone hear that? That scoundrel Jia Daoshi must have run away!"

Jia Yan is really into it now!

"Hahaha! I think you've all been fooled by him!"

"Village head, are you sure you didn't see Daoshi?" Jia Quan asked, somewhat incredulous.

run?

Jia Daoshi's home is right here, where else could he possibly go?

Jia An, however, felt a glimmer of hope. Could Jia Daoshi's sudden disappearance have been caused by the Hundred Flowers Gang?

If that's the case, then that would be perfect!

It's a pity about the two beautiful young ladies beside Jia Daoshi.

Especially that blind one, he was so cold and lustful, he couldn't help but drool over him!

Compared to them, my two daughters are simply ordinary, plain-looking women, true country bumpkins!

"No, we've been wandering around the county town for a long time today, but we haven't seen Jia Daoshi." The village head shook his head.

Upon hearing this, many villagers showed disappointment on their faces.

“You lot are just stupid! Not enough!” Jia Yan got more and more excited as he spoke. “We can’t trust Jia Daoshi! We might as well wait for Jia An to become the top scholar in the imperial examination, and then he can take care of our village!”

"Exactly! Jia An is a benefactor personally chosen by the old immortal of Ziyue Temple! Following Jia An is definitely the right thing to do!"

Those who had grievances against Jia Daoshi joined the ranks of those who were attacking him.

With a pull and a stomp, Jia An's image was instantly restored!

There were also some young wives who usually bullied Murong Jiu and spoke ill of Di Qinglin, and they were secretly pleased at this moment!

They were initially very envious when they saw Jia Daoshi suddenly become better and able to earn money again!

Now that I've made such a fuss, I feel much better!

While the debate raged on in Jiajia Village...

Yilan County!

Jia Daoshi, Murong Jiu, and Di Qinglin had arrived at a teahouse inside.

Qin Fang Ge is the largest teahouse in Yilan County!

Of course, it's also the teahouse with the best business and the highest foot traffic.

You can enjoy tea here and also watch geisha performances.

Many traveling merchants and itinerant travelers would stop here to rest when they came to Yilan County.

Jia Daoshi came here mainly to see what kinds of tea snacks were available.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the pastries inside were mainly cakes and sweets, such as steamed cakes, soup cakes, scorpion cakes, Ahante cakes, Fantang cakes, sesame cakes...

Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin enjoyed eating it, but Jia Daoshi wasn't very interested.

You can hear a lot of stories about the martial arts world here!

"Have you heard? The third leader of Black Tiger Stronghold has been murdered! The leader, Lei Zhentian, has already issued a reward of one hundred taels of silver for anyone who can find the murderer!"

"The third leader of Black Tiger Stronghold? That's a renowned hero, and I heard he even keeps a wolf! Who can kill him?!"

"Who knows? There are so many heroes in the martial arts world!"

"I heard that the Hundred Flowers Gang has recently been in some turmoil. A highly talented disciple has suddenly disappeared, and the Hundred Flowers Gang's Enforcement Hall is investigating!"

"Oh, and one more thing! Guanglong Sword Shop recently got a new head manager..."

"Tsk! With the Lunar New Year approaching, how come so many things have happened?"

"..."

The third leader of Black Tiger Stronghold also keeps a wolf?

Upon hearing this, some memories suddenly flashed through Jia Daoshi's mind!

Wasn't it you who killed him?

I never expected that Black Tiger Stronghold would actually issue a bounty?

As for the Hundred Flowers Gang, isn't Hong Fa a disciple with exceptional talent?

I killed them all myself!

Gee!

Jia Daoshi suddenly felt as if he had transformed into a notorious bandit.

"Alright, we've had enough tea, let's go." Jia Daoshi stood up.

Judging by the time, it's time to go to the brick kiln. Let's take the bricks and tiles back today, and the craftsmen can come and do the renovations tomorrow!

These are the things that are most urgent and must be completed before the heavy snow closes the mountain passes!
