He Zhiran pretended to help Fei Nanyu get up, and asked: "You sit on our wooden cart while we go to the county government office?"
Fei Nanyu glared at the scholars angrily, then nodded: "Okay, I'm here to help you, girl."
When the scholar saw that a few people were serious about it, someone immediately stepped forward to surrender.
"Isn't it just a compensation of twenty taels per person? We agree. There is no need to alarm the county magistrate for such a trivial matter."
Seeing this, He Zhiran stretched out his hand towards several people.
"Since you don't want to go to the Yamen, please give me money quickly!"
The scholars looked at each other for a while, and then started collecting money behind their backs.
Soon, one hundred taels of silver were delivered to He Zhiran and others.
Peng Wang waved his hand and told them to get lost.
The five scholars ran away quickly.
He Zhiran gave Fei Nanyu one hundred taels of silver.
"Keep it!"
Although Fei Nanyu was injured, he still couldn't stop the unruly look in his eyes.
"Why are you helping me? Aren't you afraid of offending those people?"
He Zhiran shrugged and replied casually: "It's just uneven roads, don't think too much."
In order not to make Fei Nanyu suspicious, He Zhiran looked away and did not look at him.
"Can you still leave?"
"OK."
Fei Nanyu said, stood up with great effort, and bowed deeply to several people.
"Thank you all for your help. If we see each other again in the future, Fei will definitely try his best to repay me."
After saying that, he turned around and limped away.
It wasn't until Fei Nanyu's back disappeared that He Zhiran called Peng Wang and the official to go find food.
He Zhiran couldn't tell whether her action of saving Fei Nanyu today would be rewarded in the future.
However, she firmly believed that even if they could not become friends in the future, they would not become enemies because of what happened today.
Just when He Zhiran was thinking about this, Peng Wang couldn't help but ask.
"Brother and sister, based on my brother's understanding of you, you are not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business. Why did you save that person?"
This kind of thing comes out of selfishness, and He Zhiran will naturally not tell the truth.
"I can't bear to see more people bullying others, so I couldn't help but meddle in other people's business."
Peng Wang didn't believe this at all, but since he didn't want to talk, he couldn't continue to ask.
After walking for almost ten minutes, Peng Wang pointed to an inconspicuous-looking stall and said:
"The wontons at that restaurant are delicious, and they also have their signature braised pork. Do you want to try it?"
He Zhiran was very hungry at the moment, and he didn't have high requirements for what to eat. For now, it was enough as long as he could fill his stomach.
Besides, judging by Peng Wang's words, the stall he had visited before and had something he still wanted to eat must be good.
"I have no objection. Brother Peng will arrange it."
The official also echoed: "You can eat whatever the boss says."
Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Peng Wang took the lead and walked towards the wonton stall.
I ordered three bowls of wontons and a large plate of braised pork.
He Zhiran took a bite and found that both wontons and braised pork tasted pretty good.
But compared with the delicacies she had eaten in her previous life, it was a little less interesting.
However, for ancient times when supplies were scarce, it was already good that food could taste like this.
The weather was already hot, and after eating a bowl of steaming wontons, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the three of them.
When the officer saw the sun was so bright outside, he felt a little resistant.
"Boss, the sun is too hot today. Let's find a place to rest before leaving, shall we?"
Peng Wang also had this idea. In the past, when they escorted prisoners on their way, when the sun was strong at noon, they would always choose to find a place to enjoy the cool weather and continue on their way in the afternoon.
"There is a teahouse over there. Go there to drink some herbal tea and take a rest."
He Zhiran also wanted to drink herbal tea, but she knew in her heart that this was her only chance to act alone and she must not miss it.
"Brother Peng, I'm not afraid of the heat. I just want to buy some things. Why don't you guys go and have a rest? I'll find you at the teahouse after I've bought the things."
Through some recent events, Peng Wang no longer regarded He Zhiran as an exiled prisoner, and he also believed in the latter's character.
Naturally, Peng Wang would not object to such a small request, not to mention that he was not willing to accompany He Zhiran on a shopping trip in the hot weather.
"That's fine, let's go and have a rest while my siblings go shopping."
He Zhiran and the two of them parted ways, and she found a cloth shop again.
Considering that none of the family members had a change of clothes, and they smelled bad on this hot day, this matter must be resolved when conditions permit.
So, before coming out, she planned to buy some fabrics to take back, and let her sisters-in-law make some clothes while she didn't have to travel for a few days.
Not far away, I saw a cloth shop.
He Zhiran did not forget his current identity and did not want to be too high-profile.
So, I picked out linen with elegant colors and thin texture and bought a sufficient amount.
When the store saw that she had bought so much fabric, he thoughtfully gave her some rags.
He Zhiran and the original owner were not good at female celebrities, so they couldn't figure out what these rags were for, but when they saw the shopkeeper giving the rags to her as if they were treasures, they must be in the hands of a clever person and they would come in handy. .
After thanking the shopkeeper, He Zhiran pushed the wooden cart and continued moving forward.
She planned to find a place where no one was around, take out some of the remaining flour and rice from the Mo family, and take some back to Taobao to see if there were any suitable foods.
After turning a corner, He Zhiran pushed the wooden cart into a secluded alley.
After checking that there was no one around, her consciousness entered the space and took out two bags each of white rice and white noodles.
In addition, she bought 20 roast chickens and 20 roast ducks each on Taobao, changed all the packaging into oil paper, rewrapped them, and put them on the wooden cart.
In addition to these, she also wanted to buy some pork and vegetables.
Considering the hot weather today, He Zhiran was too lazy to continue visiting the market, so he simply did everything in Taobao.
Looking at the supplies piled high in the car, He Zhiran felt no pressure at all.
Anyway, Emperor Shunwu is footing the bill...
This is indeed the truth. The more than 4 million that He Zhiran earned were all exchanged for things in the Shunwu Empire's treasury. He was the one who paid the bill!
Looking at the time, she and Peng Wang had only been separated for half an hour. If she went to the teahouse to find them now, people would be suspicious of her if they saw that she could buy so many things in such a short time.
So, He Zhiran was not in a hurry to leave, and pushed the wooden cart to a shady place, and she found an empty seat and sat on it.
By the way, I bought myself an ice drink on Taobao to relieve the heat.
Since traveling here, He Zhiran has never been so comfortable.
She was sitting on the wooden cart, drinking an ice-cold drink, her legs swaying back and forth rhythmically...
Just when she was getting carried away, she suddenly felt footsteps coming from the direction of the alley entrance.
He Zhiran quickly sent the remaining half glass of ice drink into the space and looked towards the source of the sound.
