"Sir, my subordinates heard it with their own ears. I just didn't know if Lu Donglin was deceiving the villagers, so I went to inquire about it. It is true that Jiang Rong did not return to Hexi Village last night. Everyone did not see him all day and night.
"
Li Caidi's face turned pale, and then she fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Niece? If the prefect really wants to take care of this matter, wouldn't everything be exposed?" The county magistrate looked at Li Caidi at a loss.
"Second uncle, what are you worried about? I think this must be the Lu family who deceived the villagers. Think about it, this prefect is a well-known upright official. He must repay kindness to others. If Guan Lang is really
He is the savior of the prefect, so why does Lian Guanlang live in Hexi Village in poverty? If the prefect wants to repay his kindness, wouldn't it be enough for him to find an errand in the prefect for Lian Guanlang?"
"That's right, in Hexi Village, even Guan Lang doesn't have any land. If this is really the savior of the prefect, how can he be so poor and need to go hunting in the mountains all day long to make ends meet?" Li Caidi said this analysis.
, both of them nodded in agreement.
"Just in case, even if the prefect comes, he will definitely open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, find someone to mix some arsenic, dig up the grave, and pour it into the child's mouth. Don't let the child's parents know. I'm worried.
If the child's parents know about it, they won't agree." Li Caidi put down the tea cup, paused and said, "Second uncle, Qin'er seems to have changed a lot recently, you'd better be optimistic and don't let her stay in the county government office.
Nonsense, she won’t listen to my words now.”
"I think Qin'er has become a lot better-behaved since she came back from Nanwang Town. She doesn't go out to make trouble for me all day long. Her mother also said that the child has grown up a lot all of a sudden, and it's you, my sister, who has taught her so well."
The county magistrate was filled with joy when talking about his daughter, "It's been a few days since I came back, and no one has come to me to say anything about Qin'er. Don't worry, Qin'er must have grown up and become sensible now."
The county magistrate didn't notice that when he spoke, Li Caidi's expression changed, and later on, his hand even holding the tea cup was shaking.
Six days passed in a blink of an eye. During these six days, Da Zhuang would take people to see Lu Ziwan every day.
Sometimes it’s He Chunmei and Banxia, sometimes it’s the second uncle’s family, and sometimes it’s two families coming together. Every day there are some doctors who are relatively close to the county who bring food to Lu Ziwan and Lian Guanlang. Lu Ziwan is
Being in jail is the happiest thing I have ever been in.
However, six days passed, and every day, everyone was looking forward to Jiang Rong's return. The days were counted day by day, until late at night on the sixth day, Lu Ziwan began to be anxious and worried again.
The county jail was very quiet late at night, so quiet that you could even hear the breathing of the prisoners next to them while they were sleeping. The loudest sound was the snoring of the male prisoners while they were sleeping, which sounded like thunder.
"Brother Guan Lang, tonight is Brother Rong's sixth night to go to the state capital. Logically speaking, it takes five or six days to go back and forth from the state capital. It's not raining in this weather, so he won't be delayed." Lu Ziyuan.
He raised his head and looked at Lian Guanlang, and sighed, "Brother Guan Lang, the prefect must be unwilling to take care of this. I just said, officials protect each other. Where can you find such diligent and honest officials in the world? No official is corrupt!"
"Daughter-in-law, it won't happen. Even if the prefect doesn't care about us, Brother Jiang Rong should still come back. We all have hope until Brother Rong comes back." Lian Guanlang comforted her repeatedly.
"Brother Guan Lang, tell me, is it possible that Brother Jiang Rong has also been imprisoned by the prefect? Otherwise, with Brother Jiang Rong's temperament, he will not be delayed by other things and would have come back long ago. If anything happens,
What should I do if Brother Jiang Rong is really locked up by the prefect?" Thinking of this possibility, Lu Ziwan felt guilty, "I am the one who implicated Brother Jiang Rong, Brother Guan Lang, how about you get out as soon as possible tomorrow?
Let's go to the state capital to find Brother Jiang Rong and see if Brother Jiang Rong is really locked up. If he is really locked up, no matter how much money is spent, we must get him out."
