Before Captain Guan went to talk to Ma Fuquan about this, he had already gone to see Zhenjun, and Captain He from the town yamen was also present. Captain He had also gone on the previous errand for the Crown Prince, but no one except Zhenjun knew it was an errand for the Crown Prince. Huo Jincheng had instructed Zhenjun not to reveal a single word, so for the sake of his family's lives and wealth, he naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Captain He had only one capable constable, Ma Fuquan. He still vividly remembered the cries of Tian and the three children when he sent Ma Fuquan home that morning. Ma Fuquan was just recovering, and Captain He was reluctant to send him to the county to work. He thought he would be working for someone else, earning at most a little extra money, and if anything went wrong, he and his family would suffer.

He told Captain Guan about the last time Ma Fuquan almost died, and suggested that he first seek Ma Fuquan's opinion. Zhenjun also had the same idea and asked him to ask Ma Fuquan first.

Captain Guan thought that this matter was probably hopeless, but it was not convenient for him to go back and tell the county magistrate about it, because it would make them look like idlers. Thinking of the seven-day deadline, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try his luck with Ma Fuquan.

Unexpectedly, Ma Fuquan agreed immediately. He was overjoyed and patted Ma Fuquan on the shoulder, grinning and said, "Not so soon. The prisoner has been taken to the county government office and is still under trial. There are still files to be written and official documents to be drafted. It's still early. Guan will invite you brothers to have a drink first. Call Captain He as well. Let's go."

Captain He was called in, and the money for the dinner naturally fell on his head, but Captain He would not pay for it himself. He took the people to Zhang Mazi's place. Zhang Mazi cursed inwardly, but had to greet them with a smile on his face. Fortunately, the town government had already treated these officials from the county to lunch, and the food they ordered from his restaurant was packed and delivered.

Zhang Mazi ordered the kitchen to stir-fry a few side dishes. The portions didn't need to be too large. This group of people had come to eat mainly to drink and chat. Of course, the wine didn't need to be good. There were more than ten people, so who would give you good wine for free?

Unexpectedly, after the wine was served, Captain Guan took a sip and spit it out.

"Shopkeeper, pick up a few jars of good wine and send them up. Do you think I'm bringing my brothers here to eat for free?" He fished out two pieces of silver from his pocket and slammed them on the table. "Pick up the best wine you have in your shop and send it up to me."

Seeing the silver, Zhang Mazi pretended to glance at the wine cup on the table, then turned to Lao Liu and said angrily, "You blind bastard, didn't the store just receive a few jars of good wine? Why don't you quickly replace them for me?"

"Okay!" Lao Liu put on a smile, "Please wait a moment, I will replace the newly arrived good wine for you gentlemen right away." After he finished speaking, he threw the towel over his shoulder, picked up the wine jar on the table with his hands and feet, and took the two silver coins with him, and trotted away.

Working in the county is more lucrative than working in the town, Captain He felt secretly grateful. He paid the money and felt proud that he had not eaten in vain. His back straightened a little.

When the newly brewed Yunshan Cui came up, Captain Guan knew it was a top-grade wine by the color. After taking a sip, his eyes widened. He immediately stood up and filled the glasses of Captain He and Ma Fuquan himself. "I didn't expect such a small town to have such good wine. Come on, drink up this glass!"

Ma Fuquan was a very self-disciplined person. He would ride back soon, so even if it was Yunshan Cui, he would not drink too much. After three cups, he turned the cup upside down and said, "Everyone, drink slowly. Ma will not accompany you anymore. I have to go back to say hello to my family so that I can set off earlier."

Captain Guan estimated that it was almost time for him to return, so he ordered his yamen runners to bring the fast horse he had ridden to Ma Fuquan. Ma Fuquan followed the yamen runners to the town government office, mounted his horse and headed back to the village.

When he returned, in addition to explaining things to Tian, ​​he also wanted to ask Jian Ning. They were both time travelers, and Jian Ning came here earlier than him. Perhaps Jian Ning had also experienced what he had experienced.

Those things that appeared and disappeared out of nowhere were all from the army's arsenal, which he was most familiar with. If those things could appear out of nowhere, they must be hidden somewhere, and he had to find a way to find them. Otherwise, if there was an emergency that required guns and ammunition, it would be difficult to deal with them if they didn't appear out of nowhere.

More people mean more paths, and two people brainstorming together will always produce more solutions than one person.

He whipped the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped all the way towards Dingjia Village. From time to time, a carriage carrying wine passed him on the road...

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the valley, and the green sweet potato leaves on the slope swayed gracefully in the autumn wind. Jane Ning, dressed in a plain dress, stood on the slope with a bucket in one hand and a wooden ladle in the other. With a wave of her hand, the spiritual spring water in the wooden ladle spread out like petals, and dripped onto the sweet potato leaves like big and small pearls falling on a jade plate.

Now many families in the village have planted sweet potatoes. Except for the Tian and Chang families who received them as gifts from Jian Ning, the rest of the families bought them from her for a few cents.

In her previous life, Grandma Wu had taught her the principle of "a little bit of rice is worth a favor, a peck of rice is worth a grudge", so she would not do anything for free unless the person was her permanent employee.

The sweet potato field she irrigated with spiritual spring water grew the best in the whole village. At this moment, she was standing on the slope looking at the sweet potato seedlings, and Ma Fuquan was standing on the hillside leading a horse and looking at her.

Smoke curled up from the chimneys of many houses in the back mountain. The valley was quiet. Jian Ning picked up the wooden bucket, turned around, and saw Ma Fuquan leading the horse. She greeted him with a smile: "Brother Ma, you're back."

After greeting him, Jian Ning saw that he didn't say anything. She knew that he was a quiet person and didn't find it strange. She smiled and said, "Sister Tian has gone back to cook. Come back soon."

After saying that, she walked away.

“985!”

"arrive!"

985 is Jane Ning's police number. When she heard someone shout 985 behind her, her body reacted before her brain, almost like a conditioned reflex. She put down the wooden barrel and stood at attention and saluted with a standard military posture, done in one go, as smooth as flowing water.

There was silence in the valley.

After shouting "Here", Jian Ning was petrified instantly.

After standing still for a few seconds, she suddenly turned around and stared at Ma Fuquan.

The next second, Ma Fuquan let go of the reins, stood at attention and saluted, also in the same standard military posture, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Team Wu?"

Jane Ning shouted this in disbelief.

Ma Fuquan mounted his horse and walked slowly towards her. When he got to Jane Ning, she didn't dare to believe it until he raised his hand and saluted again. Then Jane Ning let out a "puff" and swung her fist to hit him in the chest.

"Captain Wu, you're so mean. I suspected you, I really did, but you still acted like a treasure to me. I actually fell for it. I was so foolish that I fell for it..."

She had a smile on her face, and tears streamed down her face as she smiled...
