Jiang Sanlang and others watched helplessly as Chen Ergou was taken away, unable to do anything.
"Sanlang, why do you think Chen Guanglu came to arrest people? Isn't he a subordinate of the county captain?" Jiang Erlang asked.
Jiang Sanlang snorted, "Chen Guanglu didn't come to arrest people, he followed the government officials to arrest people."
These government officials often hang out with Chen Guanglu. He knows that there is a problem, but he can't stop it.
"Forget it, let's eat quickly. Anyway, Chen Guanglu doesn't dare to let people go in front of so many people. We all watched helplessly as he was taken away."
Jiang Erlang invited several villagers to sit down and eat, "Thank you all for your hard work this time. Help our brothers catch Chen Ergou."
Everyone laughed and said, "It's not hard work, we just come to the county town to have fun."
Jiang Sanlang hugged everyone and said, "When I go back this time, I will give everyone twenty kilograms of cotton seeds."
"Okay, okay!" Everyone laughed and sat down around the table.
They had all been coveting the cotton seeds for a long time, but they were too embarrassed to ask Jiang Sanlang to buy them because he had said that he would not sell them for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Sanlang would give each of them twenty kilograms of seeds today, and they were all very happy.
This trip to the county town is well worth it.
"Shopkeeper, please add two more plates of mutton and two roasted chickens!" Jiang Sanlang said to the restaurant manager: "Do you have any rice wine? Give us two more jars."
"Okay! Just wait a moment, I'll have the meat cut right now! I've asked the boy to sell the rice wine at the wine shop." The restaurant manager responded happily.
Today, a big customer came over. Not only was he willing to order meat dishes, but he also wanted to buy wine.
You must know that restaurant owners only make money from meat dishes and drinks. Vegetarian dishes are cheap. Even if there are eighteen kinds of dishes, they will not even make much money with profits.
Soon the wine and meat were served, and Jiang Sanlang led everyone to have a feast.
After eating and drinking, he asked his second brother to take the villagers back first, while he stayed to wait for the county government to start the trial.
"Then let's go back, Sanlang, please pay more attention."
Jiang Erlang: "I also want to go back to the construction site."
He and his third brother came back after asking for leave from the supervisor, just to look for their children. For this reason, Saburo also gave the supervisor five taels of silver as a favor.
Now that the child has been found and the kidnapper has been taken to the county government, it's time for him to go back to work.
"Okay, you go back first, and I'll go back after the trial is over."
Jiang Sanlang clasped his fists at several villagers again, "Thank you all for your help today. I, Jiang Sanlang, will never forget it."
"Why are you so polite to us?"
The villagers patted Jiang Sanlang and said with a smile: "We are all in the same village, no one can have any difficulties."
After that, everyone said goodbye and followed Jiang Erlang away.
Besides, Chen Ergou was taken back to the county government office by the government officials and thrown into a cell alone.
Chen Guanglu walked in and knelt down in front of him.
Chen Ergou suddenly felt something bad and instinctively moved back.
But his hands were tied behind his back, and he was sitting on the ground. There were wooden posts and railings behind him, and he couldn't move very far at all.
"Chen Ergou, do you know me?" Chen Guanglu smiled sadly and pulled out a dagger from his waist.
Chen Ergou was frightened and said in a trembling voice: "I know you."
Chen Guanglu's eyes turned cold and he suddenly thrust the dagger into his head.
"Ah," Chen Ergou screamed, his crotch even wet.
Chen Guanglu sneered and pulled out the dagger from the wooden pillar next to his head, and asked again: "Do you know me?"
Chen Ergou was frightened and shook his head repeatedly: "If you don't know me, I don't know you."
"That's right." Chen Guanglu patted his face with a dagger, "You need to remember that you don't know me or the Han family. This kidnapping case was your own fault and has nothing to do with anyone else. Otherwise,
, I can let you live, or I can let you die."
Chen Ergou nodded repeatedly: "I did it all, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Chen Guanglu chuckled, put the dagger back into the cowhide sheath on his waist, and said: "As long as you admit the crime, I can protect you from death, and your son has gone to the military camp, I can also protect him from death.
."
"Really, really?" Chen Ergou asked with tears in his eyes, "Can you really save us two from death?"
"Of course. I keep my word." Chen Guanglu stood up, stared at him like a falcon, and said fiercely: "But if you dare to say a Korean word in court, I can make your family extinct!"
"I, I won't tell! Absolutely not!" Chen Ergou looked at Chen Guanglu expectantly, "Can I really see my son?"
"Yes." Chen Guanglu walked outside, "If you say something you shouldn't say, you won't see anything."
On the second day, the magistrate of Mei County ordered people to go to court.
There was a mighty shout, and two teams of government officials stood on both sides.
This time not only were the plaintiffs and defendants complete, but the police also went to Chuanhe Town to bring Han over.
Ying Bao also followed her parents to the court, and saw the Han sisters standing there, thinking about how to answer to get them convicted.
The county magistrate was shocked and shouted: "Who is Han Juniang, Han Yueniang?"
The Han sisters stepped forward and saluted.
"Han Juniang, a commoner woman (Han Yueniang, a commoner woman), has met high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty."
Magistrate Mei County: "Someone has accused you of hiring thieves to rob children. Is this true?"
"Injustice!" Han Juniang and Han Yueniang knelt on the ground, shouting injustice in unison, "This matter is completely false. Why would we hire someone to kidnap our children when we are so good?"
"Yes, Sir, it's unfair. My sister has no enmity with the Jiang family, but he actually framed us."
Magistrate Mei scanned the crowd, his eyes fell on little Han, and said coldly: "But Jiang Yingbao testified that she was taken to Zhouhe County by Han Yueniang, and then was rescued by a man named Wu, and then returned to Qinchuan County.
"
The Han sisters were startled at the same time and looked at the child in Jiang Sanlang's arms.
When they entered the court just now, they didn't notice that there was a child in Jiang Sanlang's arms.
"Master, how can you take the words of a three-year-old child seriously?"
Xiao Han reacted quickly and immediately defended: "I did pick up a child that day. I wanted to send her home, but I was in an emergency at the time, so I took her to Zhouhe County with me. I didn't expect to pick her up a second time."
When she came, she ran away. The official, I just took her for a ride because I felt sorry for her. I had no evil intentions. I didn’t expect that my good intentions would not be rewarded. I was bitten in return and my innocence was tainted."
Ying Bao was simply amazed by this woman.
This lie is worse than hers.
Magistrate Mei looked at Yingbao: "Is this really the case?"
Yingbao immediately got down from her father's arms, saluted Magistrate Mei, and replied bluntly: "She lied! This woman threatened to cut off my nose, cut off my hands and feet, and said that if I didn't obey, she would tell others
When I mentioned who my parents were, she killed me and threw me to the dogs."
Humph! Who doesn’t know how to make up stories? One of her is worth the two of them!
Little Han gritted his teeth and glared at Ying Bao, "I never said these words, children can't lie!"
Ying Bao blinked, threw herself into her father's arms and shouted, "Dad, she is so bad, she kicked me, and said she would sell me to a flower shop for twenty taels of silver."
