After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Qin Yao had no idea that there was such a thing. She only knew the first half of the sentence, and no one had told her the second half.

Ordinary people only remember the first half of the sentence, killing thieves is not a crime. I didn’t expect there would be a reward later.

Shopkeeper Fan sighed when he saw Qin Yao's wrong expression.

Oh, I don't blame you for not knowing. The county never publicizes it. Ordinary people don't know a single big character. They don't even recognize the laws and regulations posted at the city gate. Some deviations are normal.

Moreover, whether you can receive the reward depends on the county magistrate's understanding of this law. Qin Yao may not be able to get what he deserves.

Besides, it's been so long now, it's too late to tell.

It was only when he saw Qin Yao that Shopkeeper Fan wanted to tell her.

Besides, it's impossible for you, a woman, to be an official. He sighed in amusement.

Qin Yao smiled and continued to drink the last mouthful of mutton soup, remaining silent for a long time.

She recalled the few officials who came to the village ancestral hall to inquire at the beginning of the year. They looked at her with surprise, but not much, and even a sense of relief.

Come to think of it, they also knew about this law at that time, and they were relieved when they found out that she was a woman.

Because there is no need to arrange it for her.

As for the silver reward, let alone her, the village chief followed him to the county seat and didn't see a single penny.

This conversation with Shopkeeper Fan made Qin Yao understand a little more about the world, and she also had a stronger hope that Liu Ji could obtain fame.

Even if she is just a scholar, next time she kills a bandit leader, the government will tell her that she can get a reward.

Are you leaving tomorrow? Shopkeeper Fan asked a little reluctantly.

Qin Yao nodded, There is still farm work to do at home. The water tanker still has some unfinished orders.

Shopkeeper Fan sighed softly, I want to learn two more kung fu moves from you, and I'm leaving now.

Qin Yao smiled lightly at him and said, When you have time in the future, come to my house as a guest.

Is it okay? Shopkeeper Fan asked excitedly.

Qin Yao said yes, and he immediately laughed, I'm a little curious about what your family is like. Last year, I hunted a black blind man, and my family's farmland should have increased by several acres, right? Are you the richest in your village? ?”

Normally, this is what Shopkeeper Fan said.

Unfortunately, Qin Yao's family has an abnormal scourge.

She could only say calmly: We are still working hard.

Shopkeeper Fan smiled awkwardly, asked her to go to the guest room to rest, and went back to the counter to get busy.

Qin Yao asked for an ordinary single room and spent one hundred and twenty cents on her own food.

Have a good night's sleep.

Qin Yao left the room early in the morning, said goodbye to shopkeeper Fan, and prepared to go home.

Before leaving, maybe because I felt a little dissatisfied, I went against the flow of people and walked to the gate of the Kaiyang County government office.

The streets were full of people and very lively.

Only here, there is a large open space with few people. Only the occasional person stops in front of the notice board in front of the gate.

It's a pity that there are not many people who are literate. Those who read the notices are all scholars. They have their own loftiness. If no one asks for advice, they won't bother to read it out.

Qin Yao originally wanted to see what the yamen looked like before leaving, but now she saw the two scholars in front of the notice board leaving after reading. No one was there. Out of curiosity, she walked over to see what was posted on the government notice board. What content.

When he came closer, the first thing that caught his eye was a reward notice with a portrait on it, and a big word reward circled in red pen.

The circled word reward made Qin Yao's heart beat two beats faster.

A lengthy article was written on the notice to accuse the horse bandits of their illegal activities and to express the anger of the people and the government.

Qin Yao's mind automatically eliminated unnecessary words and came up with a summary——

Bandits have been rampant and arrogant recently, and their various behaviors have become so cruel that even livestock can't bear it. Therefore, a reward notice is now issued, calling on the warriors of the county to take active action and kill the bandit leaders to help the government to eradicate the horse bandits. No matter what their origins or status, they are male or female. Regardless of whether the girl is young or old, she will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!

Hiss~ Qin Yao took a deep breath. The wind in this summer morning was filled with heat. Taking a breath, her adrenaline surged.

Qin Yao quickly calmed down her excitement and confirmed three times that the notice said one hundred taels of silver. She immediately walked to the door of the Yamen and asked the two officers and soldiers guarding the door:

How to accept this reward?

One more second of hesitation is disrespect for the one hundred taels!

The two officers and soldiers obviously didn't hear what she said clearly, or they thought they heard it wrong.

After all, the reward notice had been posted for half a year and no one had taken it off. Every time the handwriting changed, the master had to rewrite it and paste it up again and again.

Qin Yao asked again: How to accept the reward?

The two officers and soldiers gave her a surprised look. One of them pointed at the notice board with an impatient expression, Just take it off!

Qin Yao understood, went back, stabbed, and tore off the entire notice posted on it under the shocked eyes of the two officers and soldiers, then returned to the government office and asked them:

I uncovered it, what next? Can I just lift the head of the person in the painting back? Do I need to register it first? How will I collect the reward then?

This is also the first time she has revealed a bounty in ancient times. This is not the end of the world. There is a computer to automatically register. After completing the task, just hand it over to the task hall and the money will be automatically credited.

Although they were all in the same profession, she didn't know the process very well. All she could think about was the one hundred taels, and she felt that the appearance of this fierce gangster would look more beautiful.

At the same time, Qin Yao was still regretting why she didn't come to the county government office earlier to take a look.

If she had known earlier, would she have been able to keep those horse bandits alive until now?

I asked you a question, why didn't you answer? Is this reward fake? Qin Yao waited for a long time and got impatient when she didn't get a reply.

Don't delay her from making money!

Only then did the two officers and soldiers confirm that she was serious.

One of them immediately rushed into the government office and shouted: Master! Someone has revealed the list!

The other one still pointed at the notice with some disbelief and asked Qin Yao, You are a woman, do you know what is written on this reward notice?

I know, the reward of one hundred taels is not for killing the head of the leader of the horse bandits. Am I understanding it correctly? Qin Yao also wanted to confirm to avoid misunderstanding.

The officers and soldiers asked her what her name was and where she was from. Qin Yao answered them one by one. She looked sober and did not look like a madman at all, and then he led her in.

Qin Yao didn't expect that the first time she entered the Yamen would be in this way.

She didn't see the county magistrate, only the master and the county magistrate.

Of these two, one is equivalent to the county magistrate's secretary, and the other is equivalent to the director of the Public Security Bureau in charge of Kaiyang County's defense force.

The common people wanted to kneel when they saw an official. Qin Yao went to the countryside to do as the Romans did. Xuxu knelt down on one knee and briefly explained the matter of his exposure before getting up.

No one thought that she, a woman, was teasing the Yamen by revealing the results. After all, a woman who dared to do this was not simple.

When he heard Qin Yao say that she had killed a small leader of the horse bandits at the beginning of the year, the eyes of the county magistrate burst out with hope.
