Miss Chu Chu looked at Shopkeeper Xu and said in panic: "Shopkeeper, what should I do? The young master was taken away by them..."
Shopkeeper Xu paced anxiously in the hall and murmured: "The county government is not as simple as the young master thinks. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out..."
After walking around for a few times, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll find a way!"
Shopkeeper Xu was about to walk out the door when Li Tianlan reached out to stop him.
Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "He asked you to stay here. You just need to stay here. You don't have to do anything."
"The little girl is right." The old beggar held the wine gourd and said, "That boy is not the one who will suffer. You just wait here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside.
Xiao Jue looked at everyone in the hall and asked doubtfully, "Everyone is here, where is Tangning?"
Miss Chu Chu looked gloomy and said: "Master, Master, he was taken away by the county government's police?"
"What?" Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked: "Why?"
After hearing the reason, Xiao Jue looked at them and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the county government office to have a look before talking about it."
After that, he walked out quickly.
In a room somewhere in Tiantianju, Su Mei frowned and asked, "He was taken away by people from the county government?"
A servant stood in front of her and said respectfully: "I saw it with my own eyes. I just passed by the door."
Su Mei stood up and said, "I'm going out."
At the same time, the Tang family.
Tang Zhao had a smile on his face and said: "Marquis Wu An loves his son the most. Now that Xu Shou has broken his leg, he will definitely not let it go."
Liu Li thought for a while and asked: "But Second Young Master, what if he doesn't admit it?"
"Don't admit it?" Tang Zhao showed a sneer on his face and said: "It's best not to admit it. Marquis Wu'an has many means to make him admit it!"
A trace of disdain appeared on his face, and he whispered: "The evil ones are the evil ones, just hide outside. Can you come to a place like the capital?"
At the door of the Tang Mansion, a figure hurriedly walked out. The concierge immediately saluted, "Miss..."
Tang Shui ignored them, with a hint of anxiety and worry on his face, and walked quickly in a certain direction.
…
Ping'an County Government.
After Tangning was brought into the county government office by the police officers, she did not see any officials such as the county magistrate or the county magistrate.
He looked at a police officer and asked, "Didn't I say that the magistrate wanted to ask questions?"
"The county magistrate is busy with official duties and cannot spare any time now. Let's talk about it later when you are free." The policeman looked at him and said, "During this period, please let me stay in the cell for a while."
Tangning looked at him, nodded and said, "Okay."
The policeman glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He waved to the other two people and said, "Take him to the cell."
Watching several people leave, he quickly walked to the county government office, walked around to the back hall, looked at a person and said, "Sir, they have been brought here."
Ping'an County Magistrate Chang Yan looked at him and asked in surprise: "He didn't resist?"
The policeman said: "Sir, he has been honest all the way."
"This is strange." A trace of doubt appeared on Chang Yan's face and he said, "Did he really do this?"
The policeman smiled and said, "Sir, whether it's him or not, you have to report to Marquis Wu'an, and some big shots also hope it's him..."
Chang Yan thought for a moment and said: "There really needs to be an explanation for Marquis Wu'an, and he also needs to be able to handle matters for the Tang family. Forget it, let's starve him for two days first..."
After he finished speaking, he thought of something again and asked, "Has everything been arranged in the cell?"
The detective immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged. In two days, he will be very obedient."
Ping'an County Government Prison.
This was not the first time that Tang Ning went to the cell. It was just that he usually interrogated others. This time, it was his turn to be imprisoned.
Although Ping'an County is a Jing county, the prison conditions are not as good as those in Yong'an County.
The smell in the cell was unpleasant, and it was not clean enough. A jailer opened a cell door, looked at him and said, "Go in."
Tangning walked in and the jailer immediately closed the cell door.
He was not the only one in this cell. There were five or six big men squatting in the corner. Their bodies looked quite strong. They didn't know what they had committed.
One of them pointed at him and said, "Hey, new guy, come here!"
Tang Ning heard that every time a new person was imprisoned in the cell, an old man would teach them the rules. As for how to teach them this rule, he would naturally understand it as he was well versed in the routines of the cell.
The simplest way is to catch the new guy, beat him up, deprive him of food, and let him sleep next to the clean bucket until a new guy comes in, and the last person who was bullied will become the bully.
He walked up to the man, and the man looked at him and said, "Go and squat by the bucket."
The clean bucket is the toilet. It is the dirtiest and smelliest place in the cell. Generally, no one would want to go near that place.
Tangning looked at him and said, "What if I don't go?"
"Not going?" The big man was startled, and then he laughed and said, "Brothers, did you hear that he said he wasn't going?"
The smile on his face turned into a stern look in an instant, he kicked me hard and yelled: "Do you understand the rules?"
Tangning stepped on his legs, pinched the joints of her hands, shook her head and said, "I really don't understand, how about you teach me?"
After a while.
The man's face was swollen, his eyes were squeezed into slits, and he cried bitterly: "Brother, stop fighting. It's because I'm blind and can't see the mountains. Please forgive me, brother! Please forgive me, brother!"
Several men around him were no better than him. They were all lying on the ground, rubbing their arms or legs, screaming miserably.
Tangning stretched her muscles and said, "You guys, all go squat in front of the bucket."
After hearing this, several people got up from the ground one after another, ran to the corner where the buckets were placed, squatted down, and occasionally looked over here, full of fear.
Tangning walked to another corner and felt that the air around her was much better.
Outside the cell, the two jailers watched in horror as the gentle young man beat several big men, swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva in disbelief.
Although the stench in the cell had dissipated, the overall smell was still unpleasant. Tangning leaned on the railing near the corridor and at a certain moment, she suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
He turned his head, looked at Su Mei standing in the aisle, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Is there any place I can't come to?" Su Mei glanced at him, turned back and smiled brightly at the two jailers. Their bodies softened and they slid down against the wall.
Su Mei looked at him and said, "You will feel aggrieved here for a while, and I will find a way to get you out."
"No need." Tangning shook her head and said, "It's nice here, but I'm a little hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"
Su Mei took out a food box behind her and asked, "Do you want porridge?"
"What porridge?"
"White porridge."
"Have a bowl."
Su Mei filled a bowl of porridge, but found that she could not pass it through the gap in the cell railing.
She held the spoon, stretched it through the gap, and said, "Open your mouth."
Tangning looked at her and said a little embarrassedly, "Isn't this bad?"
Su Huxu was a little too kind to him and actually fed him porridge with her own hands. Tangning was extremely suspicious that she had done something to feel sorry for him.
But if you think about it carefully, they have nothing to do with each other. What can she do to apologize to him?
Unless Xu Shou's legs were broken by her.
Xiao Jue stood not far away, watching the scene in front of the cell door. After standing for a long time, he said, "Shouldn't I come?"
Su Mei looked at Xiao Jue, put down the bowl, and said, "I'm leaving."
Tangning took a deep breath and said, "Please stay a little longer."
Su Mei was startled when she heard this, turned to look at him, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, blinked, and asked: "Why, can't you let me go?"
"No." Tangning shook her head and said, "It smells good when you are around..."
When Su Mei heard this, she turned around and left without any regrets.
…
Royal Palace.
The veins on Chen Huang's forehead were pulsing. He pointed at the group of people below and said angrily: "I can't cure such a minor illness. If I raise you, am I raising a bunch of trash?"
Plop!
More than a dozen doctors from the Imperial Hospital knelt down one after another, and many famous doctors from Beijing also knelt down at the same time.
Concubine Shu's illness left not only the palace doctors at their wits' end, but also many famous doctors in the capital.
Among the crowd, the imperial physician Cheng Ling Yihong showed a tangled look on his face. After a long time, he took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
