Chapter 7 Almost Became a Spy
Li's eyes widened: "Oh, Wang Dashan, where have you hidden so much secret money behind my back?"
Wang Dashan quickly made a shushing gesture, "Don't shout, I didn't hide any money. I found this money. If you don't believe me, ask Sanya. She saw it too."
Li quickly covered her mouth and looked at Wang Yiyi.
Wang Yi nodded and lied without blinking: "Last night, my father and I saw a wolf carrying a money bag in its mouth, so we managed to snatch it away. We didn't expect there to be silver inside."
Li didn't doubt this at all, and her face immediately lit up with a smile: "How much silver did you find? Is it enough for our family to go to town?"
Wang Dashan made an eight gesture with his fingers.
Mrs. Li was even happier: "It's enough for our whole family to go to the city, and we can even have a good meal."
Wang Dashan agreed: "Yes, yes, we should spend this found money as soon as possible."
He felt uneasy holding onto the things he had taken from the dead.
Wang Yiyi was somewhat speechless. Was it really worth spending money on going to the city? But since she had told Wang Dashan to manage it, she didn't say anything more.
Wang Dashan happily paid the money, and still had one tael of silver left. He could have a good meal, stay at an inn for the night, and get a good rest.
The guards looked at Wang Dashan with some surprise when they saw him hand over seven taels of silver, but said nothing and let his family into the city.
The war seemed to have brought nothing to Liangping County; it appeared prosperous. Daya and Erya stared at the things on both sides of the street, unable to look away.
Li was also happy, having received the money for free. She planned to buy some things for the children.
Only Wang Yiyi kept frowning, lost in thought, looking at the guard with a strange expression.
He wasn't arrogant at all; on the contrary, he was very wary. He wasn't happy to see the silver; instead, his expression became even more serious. He didn't seem like a subordinate of a corrupt official at all.
Wang Yiyi suddenly widened her eyes; this looked like a sting operation.
In the past, when she wanted to use bombs to blow up zombies, she would deliberately create a commotion to gather them together.
She didn't have time to think about why the government was doing this, and she grabbed her family and prepared to leave.
Before she could even speak, the soldiers surrounded her.
Without saying a word, they arrested the whole family.
Li Shi, Daya, Erya, and these women were alright; the soldiers didn't really do anything to them, they just surrounded them.
Wang Dashan, Datou, and Ertou were in a much worse situation; they were pinned to the ground.
Wang Yiyi clearly saw that Wang Dashan's face was already pressed against the ground.
Her gaze turned cold, and she was about to make a move when Wang Dashan noticed her movement and shook his head at her.
Li pleaded, "We are from Shi County. We were captured by the people of Dayong and we want to go home. Please, sir, let us go. I will give you all the money."
Thinking that the money given was not enough, she handed over the remaining one tael of silver with both hands.
The leading officer weighed the silver in his hand for a moment, then put it in his pocket and waved his hand: "Ordinary people can't come up with eight taels of silver at once, so take it all with you."
Wang Yi pondered for a moment. If ordinary people can't afford it, then who can?
Who exactly are the authorities arresting?
Could they be innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire?
Wang Datou suddenly rebelled fiercely: "Why are you arresting us? We've already paid the entrance fee to the city, why are you arresting us?"
The leader didn't explain, just snorted coldly, and the soldier next to him stepped forward and punched Wang Datou.
Seeing her son being beaten, Li was about to rush towards those people when Wang Yiyi quickly stopped her: "They probably arrested the wrong person. They'll definitely release him once they've found out."
Then he shouted to Wang Datou, "Brother, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid."
Wang Dashan also whispered words of advice from the side, and Wang Datou, who had suffered a loss, dared not resist any longer.
"You're quite clever, girl." The leader looked at Wang Yiyi with admiration, then waved his hand and led them all away.
The family was terrified when they were in jail for the first time, especially Wang Ertou and Wang Daya, who burst into tears.
Wang Dashan hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and now he was at a loss. He could only look at Wang Yiyi: "Sanya, can we still get out?"
Wang Yiyi calmly said, "This should be a misunderstanding. We'll explain it later. Dad, I'll go and talk to them. You just need to take good care of Mom and the others."
Wang Dashan nodded. Wang Yiyi's ruthless and decisive manner yesterday was frightening, but in this situation, it also inspired trust.
Not long after the group entered the prison, the county magistrate came in person.
He glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Weren't there supposed to be six people? Why are there only three men?"
He received news that there were still six mediocre people here, and he set a rule that only those who paid one or two taels of silver could enter the city, in order to capture these mediocre people.
It's impossible for the captured civilians to come up with so much silver.
But now he really doesn't look like a spy.
The subordinate replied, "Da Yong is always cunning; he's definitely faking it. This man threw out seven taels of silver right away—who among ordinary people could afford that?"
He pointed at Wang Dashan.
Wang Dashan, who lived on the mountain year-round, was strong and looked just like a soldier. The county magistrate nodded slightly and was about to pull him out for questioning.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi made a decision.
Six people, what a coincidence, could they be the same six people from the woods? She decided to take a gamble.
He stepped forward and said, "I know where those six people are."
Li quickly covered her mouth, saying, "What do you know, you're just a child?"
He then smiled apologetically at the magistrate, saying, "The child was frightened and is talking nonsense."
Wang Yiyi pried Li's hand away, raised his hand to the magistrate, and swore: "I really know, please listen to me, magistrate."
The magistrate narrowed his eyes, not intending to believe the little girl's words.
Wang Yi hurriedly said, "One of them has a scar on his face, from his eyebrow to the corner of his eye. My whole family is here, and I would never dare to deceive the magistrate."
The magistrate didn't know what the spies looked like, but Wang Yiyi's description was so vivid that he began to believe her. Besides, children are more likely to keep secrets, so he waved his hand and decided to interrogate her first.
Li held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go, but Wang Yiyi patted it gently: "Mother, don't worry, the magistrate won't do anything to me."
Wang Yiyi was quickly taken aside.
"Do you know that if you speak nonsense, you will be treated as a spy?" the magistrate threatened, glaring at him.
Wang Yiyi chuckled instead: "To be honest, I've seen these six people. They're already dead. If word gets out that the magistrate has delivered six dead men to his door and is turning away the refugees, how can he possibly keep his official position?"
The magistrate's expression changed: "This is none of your business, you troublemaker. Just tell me where these six people are."
Wang Yiyi shook her finger: "Your Excellency, we can't let our family suffer this undeserved calamity for nothing. Let's make a deal."
