But these two women are also interesting. They want to seize other people's things and even come to the yamen to make trouble. They really think he is a new official who is easy to bully.
"It's not Zhang's, and it's not yours either. Tell me, where did this chicken come from? Who owns the chicken, and why is it in your hands? Did you steal it and divide the spoils unevenly?"
When Zhang heard what Li had said, she quickly confessed, "Sir, it's unfair. We really didn't steal it. We picked it up."
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang finally said this. When the chicken came out, everyone saw that it was a very beautiful pheasant, with shiny feathers.
"Oh, you picked it up? Where did you find it? I'll pick one up when I have time."
It was obvious that these words were mocking the two. Zhang and Li looked at each other with sad faces, and now they acted in unison with tacit understanding.
"Sir, I really did pick it up, right in front of my house."
"That's right, sir. I really picked it up at the door. I don't know how it flew to my doorstep, and we both saw it at the same time, so we rushed to grab it, and that's why we ended up at the government office."
As soon as Li started talking, Zhang became unhappy: "What do you mean by flying to your doorstep? It clearly flew to my doorstep, but you saw it and insisted on snatching it."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mu Yexiao also felt a headache: "Enough, both of you shut up, both of you, go down and pay a fine of 100 silver coins each. It is the first crime that you want to take something that does not belong to you. You also went to court and occupied public resources, which is the second crime. You will be fined 100 silver coins to serve as a warning to others. If you do it again, you will be beaten with a stick."
Zhang and Li wanted to say something about such a punishment, but when they saw the majestic hall and Mu Yexiao's stern look, they suddenly became timid and obediently went to pay the fine.
From these two judgments, everyone realized that the new county magistrate was kind-hearted, capable, and not easy to fool. It seemed that life in Xianyou Town would probably not change.
In the following time, Mu Yexiao continued to take Fang Shaohua to deal with various things, and the chicken was also left in the government office. Fang Shaohua was a little surprised: "Sir, what should we do with this chicken?"
Mu Yexiao looked at the chicken and said, "Let's keep it first and wait for its owner to come and get it."
The owner of the chicken? Fang Shaohua was a little curious: "Sir, do you know who the owner of the chicken is?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Under the wings of the chicken, there is information about the owner. You can open it and take a look."
Fang Shaohua was a little surprised. He opened the chicken's wings and saw that there were words on the feathers: "This is Master Ling Yuanbao's chicken."
Ling Yuanbao, Fang Shaohua coughed twice: "Then I'll ask someone to notify Young Master Ling to take the chicken back?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Okay, let's continue to deal with other things."
The Queen Mother also took Nannanbeibei out and came to a restaurant: "Waiter, come here."
The waiter looked at the old lady, who was dressed in clothes that showed she was either rich or noble, and was very surprised. It was happy to give a tip to such a person.
"Madam, Master, Miss, what would you like to order?"
Nan Nan asked curiously: "What kind of food do you have here? Tell me about it. Is it delicious?"
The waiter was still confident about the food in his shop: "The game in our shop is very good. You are lucky. We just harvested wild boar meat today."
Wild boar meat? The Queen Mother had never eaten this before, so she nodded and said, "Let's have some wild boar meat. If you have anything else, bring us some of the food you have here."
When the waiter heard this, he realized it was indeed a big customer, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, I'll prepare it right away."
After going downstairs, the waiter sent the food for the table to the kitchen. After it was ready, he sent it up again. Then the Queen Mother called him and asked, "Where is the best place in your place?"
The place with the best scenery? The waiter frowned and said, "Madam, it's hard to say. We have beautiful scenery everywhere. If you want to build a separate courtyard, you can go to Master Ye. It's a good place."
Master Ye? The Queen Mother was a little curious: "What does this Master Ye do?"
The waiter said with a smile: "Master Ye is a famous fortune teller here. Usually, those who have problems at home will go to him and ask him to help them calculate. In addition, many wealthy people have built villas in some places in Xianyou Town."
There are many people like this, so the waiter didn't lie. And Master Ye had already aroused the Queen Mother's interest. With a wave of her hand, the nanny beside her gave the waiter one tael of silver: "This is a reward for you."
The waiter was almost stunned with joy. This reward was a lot of silver. He was indeed a rich man. He happily went downstairs to entertain other guests.
Nan Nan took a bite and the dish tasted really good, but the dishes here were very greasy. No wonder everyone she saw since entering Xianyou Town was tall and strong. These animals must have paid a lot.
Thinking of this, Nan Nan suddenly had a business idea: "Bei Bei, what do you think if I open a herbal medicine shop? Specializing in herbal medicine and health series, will the business be good?"
Qian Jiujiu has never been involved in the medicinal food business, because her medicinal food is only made for Mu Yexiao, and other people do not have this blessing.
Beibei looked at these people and said, "These people do have some problems in their bodies. Eating more vegetables will be good for everyone. I support you, brother, come on."
The Queen Mother also looked at Nan Nan and said, "As long as it does not affect your studies, it is okay to do some entertainment."
Thinking that it would be a small fight, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao would not object, so the Queen Mother agreed. Nan Nan smiled and said, "Okay, then I will go buy a house first, but I will take care of grandma's affairs first, and I will talk about mine later."
Beibei frowned. You found something to do as soon as you arrived, but she didn't even know what she was going to do! Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time.
After eating, the Queen Mother asked someone to pay and went out to find the so-called Master Ye. She got on the carriage and came to Master Ye's residence.
Master Ye's residence was a simple temple at the foot of a hill outside the city. The Queen Mother frowned and looked at the temple, which was too simple.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, which was a little depreciated. As soon as the queen mother walked in, Master Ye opened his eyes instantly and looked at the queen mother.
"It turns out that the distinguished guest has arrived."
The Queen Mother looked a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Then tell me, how valuable is my distinguished guest?"
This is to test Master Ye's true intentions. After all, every Taoist priest will deceive people. Maybe he will say the same thing to other people!
Master Ye looked at the Queen Mother for a while and said: "The donor's face must be rich or noble. If he is not a member of the royal family, I am afraid he will not be able to suppress it."
The Queen Mother was shocked that this old Taoist priest could tell that she was a member of the royal family. He was quite capable: "Master, you are very capable. In this case, can you tell me what I am here for?"
Master Ye smiled and said, "This donor is just joking. You came to see me for no other reason than to look for a place and build a separate courtyard. This donor has also found a place and wants me to take a look?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "No, I just came to this place and I want to choose a place to build a villa."
No matter where they go, the royal family members want to build a villa of their own. This is a possessive desire that is engraved in their bones.
Master Ye understood and suddenly stood up: "It's getting late today. There is not enough time today to see the place you want to see. If you really want to go, come early tomorrow morning and I will lead the way."
The Queen Mother could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
Qian Jiujiu had already finished drawing the comic series of Finding the Cow, and was about to give it to Mu Yexiao when she saw the Queen Mother coming back with the child.
"Mom, you guys are back. How was your outing today?"
The Queen Mother looked at Qian Jiujiu's hand and said, "Is your painting finished? Can I take a look at it?"
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. You old man is also interested in this thing, and nodded: "If mother wants to see it, of course it's okay, you can take a look."
He took out the comic and showed it to the Queen Mother. What Qian Jiujiu drew this time was a Q version comic. Each character was a little exaggerated, but looked very cute.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed. She and Qian Jiujiu herself were also included. The Queen Mother was very satisfied: "This is so cute. Are you going to give it to Xiao'er?"
Qian Jiujiu felt something was wrong. Could it be that the Queen Mother was trying to steal the prize? She nodded, "Yes, it's for my husband. Mother, if you like it, I'll draw it for you tomorrow."
The Queen Mother was satisfied: "Okay, but not tomorrow. Tomorrow you have to accompany me to meet someone. Maybe you are also interested."
The Queen Mother returned the painting to Qian Jiujiu and said, "Go, I'll call you tomorrow."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Nannanbeibei, who smiled and said, "Mom, go find Dad. It's getting late, and we need to go to bed too."
These two kids are very well behaved today. Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes and turned to find Mu Yexiao. She was a little hungry, so she went to have dinner with Mu Yexiao first.
Mu Yexiao has been dealing with things until now, and seeing that it is getting dark, he said, "Master Fang, you should go back. We can deal with these things tomorrow."
Fang Shaohua could only nod: "Okay, I'll go home first."
After leaving the yamen, he headed towards the Fang family. He had to go back and explain how he had inexplicably become a legal advisor.
Mu Yexiao stood up and went to look for Qian Jiujiu. He happened to see Qian Jiujiu also looking for him. The two smiled at each other. Qian Jiujiu said, "Let's go and have dinner. I'll give you something later."
