The government officials laughed happily and became more energetic in their work.
I dragged the man all the way to the county government office, but he never woke up, with blood dripping from his forehead and all over his face.
Lingbao took a cautious look, then covered his eyes.
Cheng Yun found out and asked: "Are you afraid?"
Lingbao nodded pitifully, biting his finger and said, "Brother, will he die? Will I be caught?"
Cheng Yun said: "No."
Ling Bao believed 100% what his elder brother said, and he immediately became less worried and fearful.
When they arrived at the county government office, the officials dragged the man to the hospital first. He couldn't die before he was even interrogated.
After being bandaged, he was taken to the county government office and locked up.
Cheng Zhongqian's exam wasn't over yet, so the three siblings and one cat found a place to wait.
"Then we will go back first, but we may have to summon you later. Where do you live?"
Lingbao said crisply: "We live in Beihe Village. It's a bit far away. We have to walk for a long time every time. Daddy's feet are worn out."
Especially the first few times were the most severe. There were several blood blisters on his face, and my father even walked with a limp.
"Uncles and uncles should also be careful," she warned worriedly.
The yamen servant was amused by her considerate behavior and touched her head: "Thank you for your concern, but we have rough skin and thick flesh that cannot be worn out."
Probably because she was so cute, a yamen servant went to the roadside and bought a bunch of candied haws as a gift to Ling Bao.
Ling Bao hugged her hands. She had never eaten candied haws before. It smelled so sweet that her mouth was watering.
This greedy cat look made the yamen servant laugh again. She looked so much like his little granddaughter.
"Hurry up and eat."
Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head and said politely: "Thank you, uncle, but I can't take the Lingbao. As my elder brother said, no reward will be given without merit."
Cheng Yun was slightly surprised. He knew that Ling Bao had a good memory, but he didn't expect that he could remember a sentence he casually said so clearly and that he could learn and apply it.
The yamen officer didn't find it strange either. The young lady's father was a scholar. He smiled and said, "You helped us catch the criminal. Of course you deserve credit."
Is that so?
Lingbao looked at his elder brother hesitantly.
"Take it, it doesn't cost much." For the government officials, it was indeed not expensive.
Cheng Yun thought about it and realized that building a good relationship with the yamen servant would bring no harm at all, and it was just a candied haws.
He cupped his hands and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Lingbao, take it."
Ling Bao happily took it and said sweetly without any instructions from his brother, "Thank you uncle, I wish you peace and everything goes well!"
The yamen servant laughed happily. If the little girl didn't have a family, he would have taken her home and raised her by himself. She was so good.
It wasn't until Shen Shichu that the top-heavy Cheng Zhongqian finally came out.
After working on the questions for several hours, he was already dizzy and almost fell to the ground with weak legs as soon as he came out.
Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi immediately stepped forward to support him and asked anxiously: "Dad, are you okay?"
Cheng Zhongqian shook his head feebly.
Lingbao was so anxious that his father looked so ugly!
"Brother, is dad feeling unwell again? Let's send him to see a doctor quickly!"
I was sent to Miaorentang and the doctor saw that there was no big problem. It was just that it was too much work and I just needed more rest. Of course, it would be best to eat something now.
Cheng Zhongqian was indeed very hungry. He didn't eat breakfast and was injured, so he needed to take a supplement.
We found a small stall. After half a bowl of Lingbao, he couldn't eat any more. As always, he gave it all to the king.
She jumped off the stool and stood next to Cheng Zhongqian, gently stroking her father's arms and back with her little hands, as if to comfort him.
"Daddy, please don't feel any pain. Daddy needs to get better soon... Please God bless daddy."
Cheng Zhongqian originally wanted her not to disturb his meal, but when he saw her distressed expression, he felt uncomfortable for a moment. In the end, he didn't say anything and continued to eat with his head down.
After eating, Cheng Yun asked someone where he could hire an ox cart. After paying the money, the whole family got on the cart and headed back to Beihe Village.
The villagers were surprised when they saw Cheng Zhongqian's head, and they all asked what was going on.
Cheng Zhongqian was drowsy, his head was pounded by the noise.
Cheng Yun quickly said: "There was a little accident. My dad has to go and rest. I'm sorry."
"Yes, yes, go and have a rest."
After they left, the remaining people were discussing the matter, and everyone guessed that they might have accidentally fallen.
Wu curled her lips and said with disapproval, "Maybe I was beaten by someone."
"Ms. Wu, what did you say?"
"Did I say something wrong? With his bad temper, he should have been beaten long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he was beaten to death someday!"
"Are you sick? Why are you so vicious when you curse people to death for no reason?"
The others looked at each other and unanimously moved away from her. This person was really getting worse and worse.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her and left happily.
Wu was so angry that she took off one of her cloth shoes and threw it out.
Two more days passed like this.
The yamen servant who had given Lingbao candied haws came to the door.
Magistrate Shang found time to interrogate the man, so the victim Cheng Zhongqian naturally had to go to court.
The scene of Cheng Zhongqian's family of four being taken away by the government officials was seen by everyone, and no one dared to ask.
"What's going on? Why did the government officials take Cheng Langjun and Ling Bao away?"
Wu snorted coldly, as if "I guessed it all", and said gloatingly: "I told you earlier, he must have committed something, otherwise why would his head be injured? No, the Yamen sect
Is someone coming to arrest you?"
"What about Dalang Erlang and Ling Bao? Why were they taken away too?" Some people didn't believe it.
Although Cheng Langjun is a bit high and mighty, he doesn't look like that kind of bad guy!
"A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a son born from a mouse can dig holes. I am like a bear, how can my son be any better?" Wu's villain said triumphantly, "Our family's gold is better, and he is very well-behaved.
."
Bah, your gold is the best at bullying!
At this time, Cheng Zhongqian and the others were unaware of the gossip in the village.
After being promoted to the court, Magistrate Shang immediately recognized Cheng Zhongqian. After all, there were only a few people taking the exam, and Cheng Zhongqian's appearance was outstanding.
So I couldn't help but praise them, asked them a few questions, and let them go.
As for the test results, they haven’t been released yet, so we need to wait for another two days.
The yamen officer gave them a bunch of copper coins and explained: "That boy has committed several crimes, and the county magistrate is also annoyed. This is specially rewarded to you by your lord."
"Thank you."
Ling Bao raised his head and asked, "Uncle, will that bad guy be punished?"
"Of course I will. Not only will I have to fight, but I will also have to go to jail."
