Chapter 46: Taking Shen Ningning into the palace by order of the prince
Master Huang also had doubts in his mind.
Because, Shen Ningning suddenly came to see him and said that the book boy shouted, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
He carefully recalled whether the statue had been lost at that time.
But I can't remember it.
He only remembered that after returning to the room, he found that the scriptures handed over by Lu Shaoyuan were wrong, so he called him to remind him.
Therefore, Master Huang could only be sure that when he woke up this morning, the statue of the Rain Goddess was still there.
But later on, I am not sure.
Seeing that Master Huang was silent, Lan Qian took a step forward.
"Master, it is very possible that Shen Ningning saw the value of the statue and became interested in stealing it."
"Why do you insist it's me?" Shen Ningning vehemently retorted.
Lan Qian stared at her: "Just because you are from a humble background, your family is poor!"
"You are obviously an orphan from Xiangyun Village in the mountains. Because you accidentally saved the county magistrate, you had the opportunity to study in our private school."
"You are usually generous and deliberately create the appearance that your family background is good. Are you afraid that others will know your true family background?"
"Those things you took must be money given to you by the county magistrate!"
"Shen Ningning, you are so ashamed. You are spending other people's relief money to pretend to be a wealthy lady in a private school!"
Shen Ningning clenched her fists, her watery eyes glowing black with anger.
"I never said that I came from a wealthy family and gave everyone food because my grandma taught me to share!"
All the classmates looked at Shen Ningning in shock.
Indeed, she never said that her family was well off, nor did she show off her parents.
It was everyone's preconception that she was the daughter of a high official because of her fair appearance and the fact that she always brought a bunch of delicious food.
Lan Qian sneered: "Then do you dare to admit that you are an orphan, and you can even live with your grandma in the mountains."
Lu Shaoyuan angrily yelled: "Have you said enough?! Even if these are true, it is impossible for her to steal anything."
The last thing Lan Qian wanted to hear was Lu Shaoyuan speaking for Shen Ningning.
"Brother Shaoyuan, how much do you know about her? Anyway, the statue of the Rain Goddess was found in her room!"
Shen Ningning was about to speak, but Master Huang stopped her sternly: "That's enough! You are not allowed to say any more!"
His eyes were deep, scanning the faces of Shen Ningning and Lan Qian.
"Now that the rain statue has been found, let me send these to the county magistrate first, so as not to miss the auspicious moment when the emperor and the others open the altar to pray for rain."
However, the next second, a book boy came running in panic.
"Master, it's bad, there are many policemen at the door!"
A trace of pride flashed in Lan Qian's eyes.
She looked at Shen Ningning: "I just heard that the Rain God statue was lost, so I asked my maid to report it to the official."
"This matter is serious, Master, just hand over Shen Ningning to the government for thorough investigation!"
This time, even if Master Huang wanted to protect Shen Ningning, she wouldn't give him a chance!
With the absence of County Magistrate Fu Yuansong, her father, Chief Secretary Lan, has the final say in Guangyang County now?
The last time Lan Qian came home, she asked her mother to tell her father that she was being bullied in private school!
Her mother asked her father to make the decision for her, which would definitely make Shen Ningning suffer a lot!
The leader is not Mr. Wang, but a man who looks fierce.
"Master Huang, we will take this student away first. After a thorough investigation, we will send her back."
After he said this, a police officer stepped forward and took Shen Ningning's little hands left and right.
"Master!" Shen Ningning shouted urgently: "I have been wronged!"
Master Huang frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but said to the head catcher: "There may be another misunderstanding about this matter."
"I suddenly remembered that I accidentally gave the Rain Goddess statue to Student Shen for her to admire and keep, but I forgot to take it back. It is indeed my problem."
"You don't have to take her away. I will teach her well in private."
Shen Ningning was surprised. She didn't expect Master Huang to give such a reason in order to save her.
But the evil head catcher didn't appreciate it.
"Nonsense! It's about praying for rain. How can you, a young master, explain it clearly in just a few words?"
"We must take her back for questioning and take her away!"
The detectives dragged Shen Ningning forward.
The little guy struggled: "Let me go!"
Lu Shaoyuan directly blocked the door: "Don't take her away!"
Lan Qian directly pulled Lu Shaoyuan hard and pulled him aside.
"Take the suspect away quickly!" she shouted.
Shen Ningning was weak and was no match at all, so she was forcibly taken away.
Lu Shaoyuan couldn't get away from Lan Qian. In desperation, he had no choice but to kick her in the heart.
"Get out of the way!"
"Ouch!" Lan Qian was kicked to the side and knocked directly on the table.
Lu Shaoyuan immediately ran out, only to see the struggling Shen Ningning being carried directly onto a fast horse.
The detectives quickly headed towards the government office.
Lu Shaoyuan gritted his teeth and thought quickly.
He is weak on his own and cannot enter the government to rob people.
At this time, his servant who was guarding the door of the private school hurriedly ran over: "Master, what happened?"
Lu Shaoyuan immediately ordered: "Pull the carriage and go to Beijing. I will go find my grandfather!"
His carriage left the private school quickly.
After a while, Chen Shaobei came with a group of soldiers riding fast horses.
He kind of asked where Shen Ningning was studying.
Ever since Mo Lingwei told him, he has been delayed until now.
In the morning, I went directly to Xiangyun Village. The villagers only knew that she went to the city to study, but they didn't know which private school she went to.
However, there were four counties around her. Fortunately, Chen Shaobei found out that she was arranged to study by Fu Yuansong, the magistrate of Guangyang County.
So he rode directly to Guangyang County.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the students in the private school, everyone looked frightened and uneasy.
Master Huang rushed out the door and saw where Shen Ningning was taken away, and shouted "Oh no!"
He immediately called the book boy: "Go to the city quickly and give a message to the county magistrate!"
Chen Shaobei saw them in a hurry and didn't know what was going on.
But he still stepped forward and asked politely: "Excuse me, is there a little girl named Shen and Ningning in the private school?"
Master Huang came back to his senses and looked at him uneasily: "What do you want to do with her?"
Chen Shaobei explained solemnly: "On the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, I am taking Miss Shen into the palace for an audience."
Prince!?
Everyone in the private school was shocked.
Master Huang's lips trembled: "The government just took her away by force."
Chen Shaobei's eyes changed and became extremely sharp: "The government? Why did they take her away?"
Master Huang hurriedly explained the matter clearly.
Chen Shaobei frowned severely.
Did Shen Ningning offend someone?
He didn't care to think about it, said thank you, and immediately got on his horse.
He also ordered a soldier: "Go to the Temple of Heaven immediately to find His Highness the Prince and inform him of the matter."
And at this time.
Shen Ningning was taken to the government and directly put into a dark, dirty and smelly cell.
"Bang"——
The cell door is locked.
Shen Ningning's moist eyes stared closely at the jailer.
