Chapter 61： Master Dong

Chapter 61 Mr. Dong

Qian was already frightened and what she said was inconsistent with her words. The village chief had to answer for her, "They appeared suddenly. I heard they were looking for a five or six-year-old child who they said was their little master. They also said They lost their little master and can't go back to pay for the mission, who knows if it's true or not!"

Upon hearing this, the master's face changed slightly, and his tone of voice was a little urgent, "Where is the child? Have you found it?"

The village chief shrugged, "No! If we had found them, they wouldn't have stayed in our village, and they wouldn't have caused so many troubles!"

The master's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, and he angrily ordered, "Take the two corpses and Qian away together. This matter will be reviewed by the county magistrate before making a decision."

After a night of mental torture, Ms. Qian looked like a lunatic. Seeing that the government officials wanted to arrest her, she started acting up on the ground and was eventually **** and taken away.

The master was so angry that he looked gloomy and was about to leave with a wave of his hand.

Jiang Ning hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "My lord, please stay."

The master turned around and looked at Jiang Ning suspiciously. Seeing that she was dressed like a village woman, he asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "I have seen the Mao brothers staying in a ruined temple before. There was also a five or six-year-old beggar in the ruined temple. He had big eyes and was very energetic. What the Mao brothers were looking for. It should be that child."

"Yes! That's right! Where is the ruined temple? Have you seen that child?" The master was particularly excited, as if there was no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there was a bright future in the village.

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "I'll take you there, and tell you about the situation that day."

The master didn’t think there was any danger to a woman from Jiangning, so he immediately agreed and was very polite to her.

Jiang Ning asked curiously as he walked: "Sir, I would like to ask what the county magistrate would do in a situation like Qian's."

"I am the master of the county magistrate's side. My surname is Dong. You can call me Master Dong." Dong Ze's first impression of Jiang Ning was not bad, and his attitude towards her was much gentler.

Jiang Ning called out solemnly.

Dong Ze then said slowly: "If it is found that Qian is indeed manslaughter in the end, he will probably be sentenced to ten years. If Qian committed murder intentionally, he will probably be executed next autumn."

Jiang Ning had a solemn look on her face, but she was quite calm. Her performance made Dong Zegao look at her again.

The group arrived at the ruined temple, and Jiang Ning pointed inside, "At that time, the woman and her son happened to be passing by here. The little beggar rushed out from inside and almost knocked me down. After she rushed out, she hid there. After that, the Mao brothers We also ran out, and they asked us if we had seen the child.

At that time, I felt compassion and said no. The Mao brothers didn't believe it and followed us, mother and son, all the way before leaving. "

Jiang Ning observed Dong Ze's reaction while talking, and saw that he frowned for a while, relaxed for a while, and fell into deep thought for a while, as if he was very entangled.

The group entered the ruined temple and searched inside and out. They only found traces of someone living here, and nothing else.

Dong Ze sighed in disappointment.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask: "Is there something wrong with that child?"

Dong Ze didn't want to say it at first, but because Jiang Ning had seen the child, he said: "To be honest, that child is the child of a large family in Fucheng, and that person is also a classmate and friend of the county magistrate. The appointment of the county magistrate will delay time." Just for this reason, I never expected that child to appear here! "

Jiang Ning covered his mouth in shock, "Then the Mao brothers are really the guards of that family?" Dong Ze nodded slightly.

Jiang Ning immediately fell to the ground, covering his face and crying, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu In that case, I did something bad with good intentions!"

Dong Ze and the Yamen exchanged glances, squinted their eyes, and looked at Jiang Ning, "What should I say?"

Jiang Ning wiped his tears, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and said slowly: "Actually, I'm hiding something from you. The child's name is Mianmian, right?"

Dong Ze’s eyes widened instantly, “Keep talking!”

"What I said before was the truth, but I didn't say the rest. In fact, in addition to the Mao brothers following our mother and son, Mianmian also followed. That night, my boy knocked Mianmian down at the door and took her back. Her His hands and feet were all bruised, and the dried blood was mixed with soil, making him completely invisible. "

Jiang Ning said this, Dong Ze's eyes were already red.

Jiang Ning glanced at him and continued: "I subconsciously thought that the child was a trouble and didn't want to stay, but I couldn't do such a thing by driving a child out so late at night, so I asked Mianmian to stay temporarily and planned to go The county government asked about her situation, and I don’t know if the government official who spoke to me at that time still remembered her.

Because the county magistrate has not yet arrived, I returned without success, so I had to leave Mianmian at home to raise me. At this time, news about the Mao brothers suddenly came to the village. Mianmian was frightened. She said those two were bad people. To sell her.

Along the way, they rode in carriages and boats. They were reduced to begging for food because their luggage was stolen on the road. Knowing that the Mao brothers are not good people, I definitely didn’t dare to tell them. I originally thought that after finishing my family affairs in the past few days, I would go to the county. The government office asked about Mianmian, who knows. If the Mao brothers were really Mianmian's guards, I wouldn't hide the child no matter what! "

Dong Ze ignored the irrelevant news and asked excitedly: "So Mianmian is still at your house, right?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "My house is full of people coming and going, so it's not convenient for her to stay there, so I sent her to another family in the village to live temporarily."

"Please take us on a trip!" Dong Ze waved his hand and motioned for some people to go back to the county office first. He took a few people and returned to the village with Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took them directly to Yang Han's house in the east of the village and shouted at the door: "Mianmian, I am Aunt Jiang!"

Hearing this, Mianmian ran out of the house and stopped immediately when she saw several official servants besides Jiang Ning outside.

Dong Ze happily stepped forward, and Mian Mian was like a frightened bird. He ran directly into Jiang Ning's arms and hugged her tightly.

Jiang Ning hurriedly coaxed softly: "They are county government officials and good people. Also, the Mao brothers are dead and will never bully you again! I believe auntie, okay? This uncle can help you."

Mianmian still refused to let go.

Seeing this, Dong Ze had no choice but to bow to Jiang Ning and said: "Please also ask Madam Jiang to accompany us to the county government office. The matter of the Mao brothers will be carefully investigated by the county magistrate. I will definitely not unjustly accuse innocent people."

Jiang Ning heard the implication of Dong Ze's words and could only nod in agreement, "The eldest daughter-in-law of a civilian woman has made two pairs of clothes for Mian Mianxin and I haven't put them on for her yet. I will go back to pick them up and then I will follow you."

Dong Ze readily agreed and followed Jiang Ning home all the way. He was surprised when he saw the walls and floor tiles in Jiang Ning's home. He even touched them and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. Jiang's home to be so clean and elegant!"

It is rare to see such a refined house in the village these days, so it is understandable that Dong Ze would be so emotional.

Jiang Ning just smiled, explained Mianmian's situation to several children, and asked Liuye to pack her bags. She had a hunch that Mianmian would most likely not come back here again after leaving this time.
