Huo Jincheng didn't have much money on him, only banknotes. Although twenty taels became one hundred taels, it was rare for someone to be able to take care of his daughter, so he accepted the money.
He took out a hundred taels of silver. Ah Man recognized the silver notes, and before he could hand them over, she reached out and grabbed them.
"Auntie." A little Ah Man was afraid that Jian Ning wouldn't recognize the banknote, so she pointed at the banknote with her little hand and said seriously, "This is also silver. You can buy a lot of delicious and fun things, and you can also buy beautiful clothes."
After saying that, she handed it to Jian Ning like she was presenting a treasure.
Jian Ning took it with a smile and put it in her arms, then hugged her tightly and gave her a big kiss on the little face. Ah Man laughed so hard that she followed her example and gave her a kiss on the face as well.
This was not over yet. She put her arms around Jian Ning's neck and said, "Aunt, when Dad comes to pick me up, I'll ask him to give you another hundred taels, okay?"
Good, of course it's good, how could it not be good? Now that I've made back the money I put into selling the silver fox fur with a profit, it's all thanks to Xiao Aman!
"My little cutie, auntie really loves you so much!" Jian Ning rubbed her forehead with hers and said with a smile.
You love it so much for just one hundred taels?
Huo Jincheng was speechless at first, and then he suddenly realized that the one hundred taels were the extra money she got from kissing her own daughter, and it was not the meal money and hard work fee she had already paid for.
This damn woman!
Just a kiss, and he had one hundred taels less in his pocket.
Huo Jincheng felt that he could not stay any longer. Otherwise, who knows if his daughter would be so coaxed by that woman that she would suddenly offer her a huge gift of gold?
That would make you bankrupt. How can this be so unfair!
Just then, Captain Guan had two fast horses brought over. Huo Jincheng tried to divert Ah Man's attention. He coughed lightly and said to Jian Ning, "Riding a horse is too bumpy for a child. Since you've received the reward, I'll have someone call a carriage for you. Let's go back in it."
"No." Jane Ning refused decisively. She was not crazy enough to pay for a carriage instead of riding a free horse.
"No, no!" Ah Man also said: "Brother Qiu can fly us back."
"Ah, Brother Qiu can fly?" Ma Xiaomai was originally admiring the two fast horses that Captain Guan had brought over. Upon hearing this, she jumped over and said, "Is this true? You little girl, you can't lie, can you?"
"Don't tell him yet, let him worry for a while." Jian Ning whispered in Ah Man's ear.
"Yeah." Ah Man nodded, folded her hands across her chest, puffed out her cheeks, and closed her mouth tightly.
I look like I'm going to make you die of anxiety if I don't tell you.
Seeing how much his daughter listened to Jian Ning, Huo Jincheng didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He was happy that Jian Ning could take care of Ah Man, freeing him from worries. But he was worried that Ah Man would become too close to Jian Ning in the future and would no longer recognize him as her father.
But he had no one else to entrust his care to at the moment, and Yang Jinyu was unable to take care of Ah Man.
Never mind, he would rather not see it and not be bothered. He would walk away so that his daughter wouldn't have to set her sights on his pocket again.
It is important to protect the money.
He walked towards Ma Fuquan. County Magistrate He had been talking to Ma Fuquan. Could it be that he wanted to transfer him to the county government office?
Huo Jincheng was right. As he walked over, he heard Ma Fuquan say, "Obedience is worse than respect. I will wait for your orders."
Water flows to low places and people go to high places. Jin County is a large county with nearly a hundred yamen runners and constables alone. In the county yamen, Ma Fuquan can exert greater energy and his status has been promoted from constable to head constable. His idea of forming an ancient special police team to serve in the county yamen is undoubtedly the best choice, and naturally there is no reason to refuse.
Although there is no modern means of transportation, commuting to and from get off work is not a big problem. The town is less than seven kilometers away from Dingjia Village, and the county seat is only about twenty-five kilometers away from Dingjia Village. Riding back and forth without the trouble of traffic jams is perfect.
Huo Jincheng still wanted to continue trying to persuade Ma Fuquan, but seeing that he had reached a consensus with County Magistrate He in just a few words under his nose, he was annoyed but had to congratulate him against his will: "Brother Ma, your promotion is great! Lord He really has a good eye for talent! I admire you so much!"
Ma Fuquan said, "I still say the same thing. Regardless of whether I am the head constable or the constable, I can only do this and am only suitable for this job. If Mr. Huo needs me in the future, I will do it without hesitation."
County Magistrate He didn't know Huo Jincheng was the official boss of the Ding brand at the time, but when he went to ask Shouzheng for troops, he made it clear that the bandits they wanted to capture were thugs kept by Prince Yong's mansion. Shouzheng was a little hesitant at the time, but when Huo Jincheng arrived, Shouzheng borrowed the troops without hesitation.
Although he was still unaware of Huo Jincheng's true identity, he was a man who dared to confront even King Zhao head-on. He was just a small county magistrate, but he dared to bring the person back in front of King Zhao today. Others didn't know, but he knew it, and he had borrowed some of Huo Jincheng's power.
Those who roll around in the officialdom are all more cunning than monkeys. He took the initiative to step forward and said to Huo Jincheng, "As long as it is within this county and does not violate the laws of the Dayan Kingdom, Mr. Huo, please feel free to come to me and I will not hesitate."
"Okay, okay. I'm bound to bother you in the future." Huo Jincheng felt a little relieved when he heard him say that.
When Jian Ning and Ma Fuquan said goodbye and went back, Jian Ning took Ah Man on one horse, and Ma Fuquan and Ma Xiaomai rode on another. Huo Jincheng didn't know that Jian Ning could ride a horse. When he saw her holding her daughter in one hand and holding the reins with the other hand, and her movements of getting on the horse were light and skillful, he was secretly surprised!
How did he find out that this woman knew everything?
His curiosity about Jane Ning grew. If it wasn't so late, he really wanted to pull her over and question her.
"Say goodbye to your father." Jian Ning reminded A Man.
"Goodbye, Daddy." Ah Man was so anxious to see Brother Qiu and to know how a snake could carry them flying that she even forgot to ask her father to pick her up early. Instead, she kept urging Jian Ning, "Auntie, hurry up, let's go, Auntie."
This daughter has no head.
It’s all in vain!
Watching them leave, Huo Jincheng's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The city gates were locked, and it was Captain Guan who personally escorted them out of the city with the release documents approved by the county magistrate.
When they were almost at the farmyard, Ah Man cupped her hands to her mouth and it looked like she was shouting loudly, but Jian Ning and the others could not hear any sound. However, the grass in front of them on the right side began to sway like wheat waves in the wind, and in a moment a long worm twisted and turned and came to them.
"Brother Qiu is here, Auntie, Brother Qiu is here, let me down quickly." Ah Man shouted excitedly.
"Can he really fly? Are you kidding me?" Ma Xiaomai asked A'man.
Ah Man looked at Jian Ning, who nodded. She immediately said, "I don't know either. It was Brother Qiu himself who said it could take us flying. Do you want to try it with us? Come on!"
