Chapter 1135 Being Stopped

"Master, I prepared steamed dumplings and vegetable porridge, and I also made pancakes."

Muxiang smiled as if asking for praise, and Jiang Wan was quite touched.

"Muxiang, you are really my most considerate little disciple."

"Master, what about me?"

Ruoshui narrowed her eyes dangerously. If Jiang Wan liked Muxiang more, she would ignore her!

snort!

"You are my most..."

Jiang Wan's brain was spinning like crazy, and she coaxed her, "Is it okay for a disciple who can clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment?"

"And me."

Gan Ze also stuck his head out to join in the fun, and Jiang Wan held his forehead in silence.

"My smartest disciple, are you three satisfied?"

Although her smile was helpless, it was full of doting, as if she was indulging them.

Song Jiuyuan said with a stern face, "After breakfast, pack up and let's set off early!"

"yes!"

Muxiang and Ganze agreed in unison, only Ruoshui glared at Song Jiuyuan in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you so proud? If it weren't for my master, I would never want to bother with you."

As she said this, she walked away with her head held high and her chest puffed out to express her disdain for Song Jiuyuan.

Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan: ...

"It seems that her dissatisfaction with you is growing day by day."

Jiang Wan smiled and shook her head, but she did not blame Ruoshui.

After all, her hatred for Song Jiuyuan has diminished a lot now, and it is more of a subconscious targeting.

Since becoming her apprentice, he hasn't mentioned taking Song Jiuyuan's life for a long time.

"Never mind her. She hasn't grown up yet."

Song Jiuyuan was too lazy to pay attention to Ruoshui. They finished their breakfast together and said goodbye to Tianyu and the others.

“We’re leaving now.”

Tian Niangzi was quite reluctant to let them go. If they stayed one more night, they could get an extra six cents of silver.

Tian Yu, on the other hand, was eager for them to leave as soon as possible, and said enthusiastically:

"Everyone, take care. You can come to our village if you need us in the future."

"Yes."

Jiang Wan got on the carriage with a smile, and soon the carriage left Tianyu's house.

Looking at their backs, Tian Niangzi felt quite regretful, "It would be nice if such a powerful person could stay in our house for a few more days."

"Shut up, do you know their background?"

Tianyu was speechless, feeling helpless about his wife's naive nature.

After all, their village is guarding a huge secret.

Upon hearing this, Tian Niang pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "If it weren't for their help, we might not have been able to subdue those bad guys last night.

I feel like they are good people, and you always like to think the worst of them.”

"But they are here. The men in black came at night to attack. How do you know they are not in the same group?"

Tianyu snorted lightly and turned to go into the house. He wanted to change his clothes and go to the ancestral hall for a meeting later.

In addition to him, there were many people in the village who thought so. Jiang Wan and the others had not yet had time to walk out of the village.

He was stopped by the village chief and others.

The entrance to the village was indeed blocked tightly. Mu Xiang's judgment was correct. Song Jiuyuan and his party's carriage stopped.

Gan Ze said unhappily, "Village Chief, what do you mean by this? You won't let us leave?"

"My dear guests, I am truly sorry."

Village chief Tian was a little old, but he had sharp eyes and ears. He stood in front of the carriage.

"You all saw what happened last night. Our village is investigating the person behind this. We hope that you can stay in the village for a few more days."

Jiang Wan opened the carriage curtain irritably, seeming a little irritable.

"Village chief, this is not good, right? The New Year is almost here, and we were planning to sell our mountain products and take them home."

"Yes, if you do this, we will delay our journey for several days."

Muxiang hurriedly agreed with Jiang Wan. Although she didn't know why her master said that, her master's attitude was hers.

Even Ruoshui could see it clearly and deliberately said, "My family is waiting for me to go home for the New Year."

"I'm sorry."

The village chief sighed, "You just came to our village and bad guys came. We must investigate thoroughly."

"What do you mean? Doubt us?"

Song Jiuyuan's voice was cold. He lifted the curtain of the carriage. Even the village chief who prided himself on being very imposing was a little intimidated by him.

"That's not what I meant. I just hope you can wait a while."

The village chief's words represent the opinions of the entire village. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other.

In fact, staying is a good thing, as it can give them more time to explore.

But being too enthusiastic about staying would easily arouse suspicion, so Jiang Wan frowned and said unhappily:

"Do you know how much money we will lose if we delay here for one day?"

"I know, I know. I'm really sorry, but we have no choice."

"Yes, gentlemen, we don't mean to embarrass you."

"Why don't we wait until the government officials arrive?"

"You can't report it to the police!"

“…”

Everyone was talking about it. Jiang Wan and the others were reluctant to stay, which was very frustrating.

At this moment, Tianyu came running over, "Village Chief, what's going on?"

Village chief Tian glared at Tianyu fiercely, if Zhuoma hadn’t introduced the person over.

How could such a thing happen in the village?

Tianyu roughly sensed what Village Chief Tian meant, and his smile became a little awkward.

"I'll go to my sister's house later and ask Zhuoma."

He wanted to confirm whether Jiang Wan and the others were introduced by Zhuoma.

Hearing this, the village chief nodded in satisfaction. Jiang Wan frowned and said:

“Why do you doubt us? After all, we have taken the most valuable furs in your village?

Is there something more valuable in your village that is worth our attention?"

Her puzzled expression made Village Chief Tian and the others look serious, and they hurriedly changed the subject:

"Your Excellency, what you said makes sense. Can you give us another day to investigate?"

Village Chief Tian wiped the sweat off his face nervously, secretly wondering why Jiang Wan said that?

Did she guess or see something?

"Master, what should we do?"

Muxiang and Ruoshui both looked at Jiang Wan, waiting for her answer, not because they were afraid of the people in the village.

It’s just that Jiang Wan didn’t want to cause any embarrassment, and her original intention was to find a place to stay outside and then go explore with Song Jiuyuan at night.

Since someone offered her a pillow when she felt sleepy, Jiang Wan had no need to refuse. She deliberately frowned and said to the village chief:

“Okay, after all, this is the place Zhuoma introduced, I’ll give the village chief some face.

But we are staying in your village, so you can't charge us for accommodation, right?"

After all, they didn't take the initiative to stay.

She cared so much about money, which was in line with her identity as a businessman. Sure enough, Village Chief Tian’s guard against them was reduced a little.

"Of course, Tianyu, did the nobles sleep at your house last night? It will be the same tonight.

The rent will be paid from our village's public account, so you won't suffer any loss."

"Yes, village chief."

Tianyu was very obedient, although he didn't want such a dangerous person living in his home at all.

But who let the village chief speak?

"Please inform the village chief once you have finished your investigation. We don't have time to delay for too long."

Song Jiuyuan seemed somewhat reluctant to drive the carriage back, with a dark face, as if he was being forced.
