Chapter 140 Pipa

The river water in late autumn and early winter has reached a new height. Tangning threw the net into water, tied one end to his feet, and turned on the system's automatic harvesting function and left it alone. He leisurely took out a bucket of sweet mountain spring water from the space, put it on a pot, boiled water, and then put some oil, green onions, ginger, garlic and stir-fry a handful of meat. Put the water, add some leaves and river food after the water boils, and add some vegetables to the bottom and the seasonings are also taken out of the space.

Her pot of noodles was just finished, and the fragrance immediately filled the river. Even the literati and poets on the boating river smelled the smell and approached, stretched their necks and looked at it, shouting, "Girl, what are you doing? It's so fragrant! Is it sold?"

Tang Ning was stunned and turned his head to look behind him. Seeing that the other party was also riding a black-sailed boat, but it was much newer than hers, and there were no such messy things. He knew that the boat was specially used for traveling. In this way, he could guess the identity of the person on the boat was unusual, so he said, "It can be sold, but it cannot be sold all of them. I want to eat it myself."

The other party agreed readily.

The boatman leaned the two boats together, and the man opposite came over. After seeing the pot of noodles, his eyes lit up. He praised him with a thumbs and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such delicious food on a small fishing boat! It smells fragrant, and I can't help but have to eat a bowl."

Tang Ning was also clever and directly served his portion and said to the other boatman: "I give all these to you, but I have to pay back the pot."

"No problem, I'll get the jar now." The boatman was also very skillful, and he had to sip a pot of noodles in just a few seconds. The man was already sitting on the deck and ate it, and he liked it while eating, which seemed completely inconsistent with his gentle image.

Tang Ning couldn't help but take a few more glances, but without asking more questions, he took the money and left in the fishing boat.

It was already evening when she got off the boat. If the plan went well, the young lady should have had something to do. Thinking of this, Tang Ning walked towards Yunlai Inn with a basket on her back. He stopped from time to time to look at the things on the stall and bought some messy things and snacks.

When we were about to arrive at Yunlai Inn, a kind-hearted aunt stopped her, "Girl, something happened to Yunlai Inn. Don't go to this road if you have nothing to do!"

"What happened? What happened?" Tang Ning asked in surprise.

Since ancient times, the aunt has been an expert in gossip transmission. She immediately pulled her to pour beans and said, "I heard that something happened to a noble man who lived in the inn. Some said he was dead, some said he was poisoned, and some said he was seriously ill. Anyway, we have been watching. Until now, all the doctors in our place who are a little capable have been invited. In addition to our doctors, those from other places are also rushing over.

Why do you say this is not a big deal? In my opinion, if this matter is not handled properly, Yunlai Inn will probably close the door!"

"Ah? Who is so powerful?" Tang Ning was really curious now. She guessed that the woman had an extraordinary identity, but she didn't know what she had.

The aunt didn't know it, so she shook her head and said, "No matter who she is? Let's just watch the fun!"

Tang Ning agreed with this. After standing for a while, he asked with the aunt: "Auntie, you have no life at home, aren't you busy?"

The aunt immediately smiled proudly, "What are you busy with? I work in the weaving workshop, and I have more than two taels of money per month, and I earn more than men. Who dares to let me do things? If I hadn't been on a break today, I would have been busy with the weaving workshop now!"

As he said that, the aunt showed off her delicate hands proudly. Not to mention that they were really delicate hands, white and tender. It was hard to tell whether there were calluses or not. It could only be said that these hands were hundreds of times better than those of women who did farm work.

Tang Ning sincerely praised her. This attitude made the aunt even happier. She didn't want her to leave when she pulled her.

Just as the two were chatting, several yamen were escorting someone from Yunlai Inn. Tang Ning looked carefully and found that it was the maid named Pipa. It seemed that her plan was quite smooth.

Since the Pipa was controlled by these groups, she has struggled desperately to call for justice. Her beautiful face was full of unwillingness and fear. Just when the Yamachai dragged her out of the threshold, she was still struggling, hooking her feet tightly on the threshold. In a panic, she happened to see Tang Ning, and immediately shouted excitedly, "I am wronged, it is her, it must be her that she who caused the lady to blame me."

The yamen looked at Tang Ning and saw that Tang Ning was just an ordinary farm girl, and she looked confused. Her eyes looked even more disgusted when she looked at Pipa, "Don't think about finding an innocent person to take the blame! We promised, the Prime Minister still disagrees! You should go to the yamen with us to confess your guilt!"

"No! No, it's her! Today she openly contradicted the lady, which made her angry. When she came back, she was so angry. The lady spoke up and threatened her and asked her to walk and see. What I said was true. I grew up with the lady, and I was loyal. How could it be that my lady was wronged!" Pipa's face was filled with tears, and his attitude was as sincere as he was.

Seeing that the yamen began to doubt, Tang Ning immediately jumped up and pointed to the pipa and said loudly: "It's you! I remembered that you were the one who followed the arrogant woman today. I haven't really recognized this for a while. Since I have met it now, you haven't taken away the silk soap. I can't collect the hundred taels of silver. I'll give it back to you!"

"One hundred taels?" Yamacha was a little confused. Why did he get another one hundred taels?

Tang Ning hurriedly said what happened in the morning in front of everyone, "Sir, what I said is true. At that time, everyone around me could testify for me. So, although the little woman was short of money, she didn't dare to leave this hundred taels without any clarity."

The yamen frowned and looked at Tang Ning, "So there was a conflict between you and Miss Qiu because of a business? For this, you hold a grudge against her?"

"It must be, it must be..." Pipa nodded desperately.

Tang Ning shook her head calmly, "I am not a psychopath. I just hold a grudge against a stranger because of such a trivial matter! Besides, I didn't suffer any loss at that time. I took 100 taels and beat her people!"

When the onlookers heard this, they couldn't help laughing. No, this girl was not at a loss!

The Yamacha didn't expect Tang Ning to say this. He was stunned for a moment and felt that it made sense.

Pipa panicked and asked Tang Ning loudly, "You must be the one who wants to make money and are afraid that my lady will kill her afterwards. It must be!"
