Although King Zhao was unwilling to help, Hua Manman still wanted to notify Magistrate Luo so that he could make preparations in advance.
She bribed the vegetable delivery vendor, and planned to disguise herself as a vegetable vendor and sneak into the county government office, and then went to meet the county magistrate Luo when no one was prepared.
However, before she got into the county government office, she heard the news that Luo county magistrate was put in jail.
Hua Manman almost cried.
Li Ji casually burned the secret letter he had just read, looked at her with a half-smile, and asked.
"Don't you still want to go to the prison to save people?"
Hua Manman clutched her heart, excruciatingly painful.
"I spent a full two taels of silver to buy that vegetable vendor, and now the money is all wasted!"
Li Ji: "..."
So what you care most about is actually the two taels of silver, right
Hua Manman looked at him eagerly: "You said if I go to the vegetable vendor to refund the money, will he agree?"
Li Ji smiled: "He will tell you that you are thinking of farting."
Hua Manman couldn't bear it anymore and shed tears of poverty.
The Jin Linger siblings came to invite them to go downstairs for dinner.
As soon as food was mentioned, Hua Manman immediately forgot the sadness.
she asked expectantly, wiping away tears.
"something delicious?"
It was probably the first time that Jin Ling'er had seen someone change their face so naturally and quickly, she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses and answered honestly.
"I don't know either, we can go downstairs and ask the buddy."
The four went downstairs and sat down in the lobby.
Some guy comes up and asks what do they want to eat
Hua Manman: "Do you have any special dishes here?"
The buddy began to report the name of the dish in a hurry.
“We have many famous dishes here, such as braised duck leg in sauce, sweet and sour carp, braised donkey meat in braised sauce, hot and sour fish head, shredded chicken, potted meat, roasted goose with green onion, winter melon meatball soup, yam stewed chicken soup, Black-bone chicken and wolfberry soup, what would you like to eat, guest officer?"
Hua Manman swallowed and asked how the dishes tasted
Seeing her asking such detailed questions, the waiter thought she was going to order all the dishes, so he got excited immediately and praised every dish fiercely.
After Hua Manman finished listening, his mouth drools even more.
She resisted the urge to order and asked the most crucial question.
"How much do these dishes cost?"
The guy quoted the price of each dish.
Among them, the cheapest dishes cost 50 Wen.
Hua Manman silently calculated her remaining property, and said to the assistant seriously.
"Please bring us a bowl of porridge and two cheap side dishes."
Dude: "..."
I suspect you are playing me, although I have no proof.
Seeing him standing still, Hua Manman couldn't help asking.
"Don't you have white porridge here?"
The guy used his whole life of professional training to force a smile: "Of course there are, please wait a moment."
After he left, Li Ji spoke slowly.
"Are you so poor?"
Hua Manman snorted, "You don't know how expensive the rice is if you're not in charge. Back then I had to be careful when spending five taels of silver. Now I don't even dare to look at anything that costs more than five taels of silver!"
Li Ji was very confused.
It's obviously a very pitiful thing, why can she say it so confidently
Soon the guy brought out the porridge and side dishes.
The four of them had all suffered hardships, and they knew that it would be good to eat what they had at this time, so no one was picky, and they picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Unexpectedly, they had just finished eating when a large group of officers and soldiers rushed into the inn aggressively and surrounded the four of them.
The head catcher stood up, with his hands on his hips, and asked in a rough voice.
"You are Jin Ling'er, Jin Sinian, and Li Ergou and his wife?"
Li Ji was expressionless: "Who is Li Ergou? I don't know him. You have found the wrong person."
The catcher spat on the ground and cursed.
"Don't talk nonsense, I know you are Li Ergou! Why, you don't dare to recognize the good name your parents gave you? What a coward!"
Hua Manman silently covered her eyes, not daring to look at King Zhao's expression at this time.
Anyone with eyes can see that these officers and soldiers are not kind.
Jin Ling'er hurriedly protected her younger brother behind her, her thin body trembling slightly due to nervousness.
Li Jing stared at the head catcher.
He could clearly hear the voice of the headhunter at this moment—
"It was these four people who offended Mr. Gao!
Mr. Gao is very busy now, and he doesn't have time to take care of these four bastards, so he can only let me do it for him.
Later, I will find any reason and put these four bastards in prison.
As long as we enter the prison, we have the final say on everything.
There are countless ways to torture people in the prison, and I will make their lives worse than death when the time comes! "
Just when everyone thought Li Ji would lose his temper, he suddenly chuckled.
"Oh, I remember you."
Hua Manman's heart trembled slightly.
She was the only one present who understood the meaning of this sentence.
Those who can keep King Zhao in mind basically have no good end.
The life of the head catcher in front of him has entered the countdown.
However, the head catcher didn't notice that the god of death was approaching at all, and was still pointing at Li Ji and cursing.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to say harsh words without shame. With your cowardice, I can crush you to death with just a few fingers!"
As soon as the last word landed, Li Ji flashed in front of the catcher with lightning speed.
Before the head catcher had time to react, his neck was already grabbed by Li Ji.
With a little force from Li Ji's subordinates, the head catcher was lifted up.
The head catcher seemed to weigh more than 150 jin, but Li Ji was able to lift him up with one hand without any effort at all.
It is enough to see how terrifying Li Ji's strength is.
After a short period of shock, the officers and soldiers drew out their sabers and aimed at Li Ji, forcing him to let go of the captor.
Li Ji turned a blind eye to those blades.
He looked at the head catcher's distorted face due to lack of oxygen, and asked unhurriedly.
"Tell me, whose father are you?"
The head catcher couldn't speak, and could only struggle desperately.
In a panic, he pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed at Li Ji indiscriminately.
Li Ji easily snatched the knife from his hand, and stabbed his thigh with a backhand.
The catcher screamed in pain.
Blood trickled down the trouser legs.
Those officers and soldiers were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that Li Ergou really dared to attack the head catcher.
Jin Ling'er hastily covered her younger brother's eyes, not daring to let him see such a bloody scene.
Li Ji let go of the catcher's neck.
However, Catcher couldn't stand up because of his leg injury, so he just fell to the ground.
Li Ji pointed the bloody knife point at his other leg.
Another strike without hesitation!
At this moment, all the guests in the inn were frightened and fled in all directions.
The officers and soldiers could no longer stand still, and rushed towards Li Ji with their knives in hand.
"Stinky boy, don't be too arrogant!"
