The shopkeeper quickly brought the tea and poured tea for everyone sitting there. Guo Ping'an picked it up and took a sip.
"Second sister, please express your condolences. Since the tiger has already barked just now, it means that your official has been eaten by now."
Lin Caiwei suddenly felt a glimmer of hope: "Brother-in-law, please go up and have a look now. Maybe the official is not dead yet. Maybe he just met the tiger. Maybe you can still save him if you go now." "
Guo Ping'an was a little embarrassed.
The other three people were holding teacups and drinking tea calmly without any reaction.
Didn't they just wait for Chang Qingyun to be eaten before they went? If Chang Qingyun hadn't been eaten yet, the tiger was hungry, so they might be the ones who died if they went.
Seeing Lin Caiwei crying really hard, Guo Ping'an said: "Don't worry at this moment, even if you go to your family now, the officials have been eaten. Brothers have traveled so far to come here, we have to let them go." They take a rest and rest until they have the strength to work later.”
Lin Caiwei was anxious. She got up and rushed to Jingyanggang. She wanted to go by herself!
As soon as he rushed out, he bumped into someone head-on.
Chang Qing quickly held Lin Caiwei in his arms: "Why are you running so fast?"
It's a familiar voice.
It's also a familiar taste.
Lin Caiwei looked up and saw Chang Qingyun standing in front of her. She cried and laughed, wiping her tears, and hugged Chang Qingyun directly.
"Great, great, you're still alive, you didn't go to Jingyanggang, right? I knew you didn't go, you're still alive, great!"
She spoke incoherently because she was too excited.
Chang Qingyun watched Lin Caiwei's tears falling down in large numbers. He was a little hurriedly trying to wipe Lin Caiwei's tears, but he thought that his hands had killed a tiger just now and they were dirty and rough and he didn't dare to touch them.
"Don't cry, don't cry, okay? Don't cry, go home, I'll roast rabbit meat for you, okay?"
Guo Ping'an followed slowly out: "Chang Qingyun must have been eaten by a tiger. If you run out like this, how will I explain to my father-in-law if something happens..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Caiwei crying in a man's arms. His eyes widened. Wasn't this second sister-in-law not a woman?
Only then did Lin Caiwei realize that this was in public, and it was inappropriate for her to hug Chang Qingyun. She quickly wiped her tears, came out of Chang Qingyun's arms and introduced: "Brother-in-law, this is my official, Chang Qingyun. "
Then he introduced to Chang Qingyun: "This is the eldest brother-in-law."
Chang Qingyun clasped his fists towards Guo Pingan: "Brother-in-law, nice to meet you."
Guo Ping'an was a little dissatisfied: "You didn't go to Jingyanggang to hunt tigers? So our trip was in vain? But let's make it clear first, the money cannot be refunded."
silver? What silver?
Lin Caiwei whispered: "I thought you went to Jingyanggang to hunt tigers. I was afraid that you would be eaten by a tiger, so I spent five taels of silver to ask my elder brother-in-law to find someone to collect your body."
Chang Qingyun looked at Lin Qiaowei's lovely appearance and wanted to rub her head. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.
He knew about the five taels of silver. Lin Caiwei had told him from the beginning that it was the dowry money her mother had given her at the bottom of the box.
The other three people also came out: "It turns out that I didn't go. That's right. If I had gone, no one would be eaten. It doesn't matter if I didn't go. If I didn't go, at least I could survive."
Guo Ping'an clasped his fists at the three people: "Thank you for taking this trip, brothers. It has wasted a whole day of work for you. I will treat you all to a drink after I get back."
When the five taels of silver came into Guo Ping'an's hands, he took it himself.
He was a government official, and he asked the gangsters from the area he was in charge of to do things for him. He didn't spend any money at all, and he only gave them face by treating them to a meal.
Chang Qingyun clasped his fists towards Guo Pingan: "Brother-in-law, you are here at the right time. I have killed the tigers on Jingyanggang. Two big tigers and one small tiger. I just want to trouble you to help transport them back to the Yamen to collect the reward. , then the reward will be yours."
"What, you killed the tiger!"
Everyone looked at Chang Qingyun with wide eyes, even Lin Caiwei was shocked.
Chang Qingyun nodded calmly: "Yes, it's a small matter."
Little things? !
The tiger in Jingyanggang has eaten so many people that the county magistrate is helpless. Is this a trivial matter?
When we went up and actually saw the corpses of the three tigers, no one questioned it anymore.
Finally, Guo Pingan and the three people he brought used a cart to pull two tigers and a small tiger, and the group of people walked towards the Yamen of Hanyang County in a mighty manner.
Even the tea shop owner followed behind to watch the fun, and more and more people watched the fun behind him.
Follow the cart all the way.
"Everyone, give in now, give in now, here comes the tiger-fighting hero!"
"Jing Yanggang's tiger was killed. Come and see."
"Great, then we can go through Jingyanggang without taking such a long detour."
…
The people of Hanyang had suffered from the tiger in Jingyanggang for a long time. Now that they saw the tiger being beaten to death, they were about to beat gongs and drums to celebrate.
Guo Ping'an, the yamen servant, cleared the way and helped inform the news. Soon after arriving at the yamen, a yamen servant came to check and accept the tiger.
After checking that everything was correct, the government officer cut off the tongues of the three tigers with a knife.
This is to prevent repeated use of tigers to collect money.
As for the tiger's back, Chang Qingyun can still handle it himself.
At first, everyone thought there was only one tiger in Jingyanggang, but suddenly there were two tigers, one big and one small. How could we give this reward? Someone went and reported it to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate heard that a fierce man had killed two tigers and a tiger cub, he immediately summoned Chang Qingyun.
Looking at Chang Qingyun's small body, he was a little suspicious.
"The official killed the tiger with his bare hands?!"
