Chapter 362 I Won't Leave

"Thank you, Catcher Wang, for your suggestion. I will consider it carefully."

Wang Butou nodded, and put the broken silver in Diandian's hand into his bosom: "Okay, wait, I'll call Zhao Hongxia for you."

"Thank you, Catcher Wang."

……

After Zhao Hongxia and her second cousin left the county government office, her second cousin said goodbye to Zhao Hongxia and went back to Luweidang.

Zhao Hongxia went back to the grocery store by herself, but the store has not been open for the past few days, only the small door is left open for entry and exit.

Seeing her come back, Zhang Quan hurriedly poured tea: "My lady, I've worked hard these few days. I went to see Jiang Zhinuan. Is there any progress?"

Zhao Hongxia shook her head helplessly: "At present, it is basically certain that the case of private salt has nothing to do with the magistrate. I am afraid that sister Zhinuan offended the magistrate, and this matter will not be resolved."

Hearing this, Zhang Quan's face flashed with panic: "What should I do? There are more and more yamen servants on the street these days. I think they are going to search from house to house, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hide at that time."

"Can't hide? What are you two trying to hide?"

Suddenly Wang Butou's voice came, and the two turned their heads in shock, only to see Wang Butou walking in alone.

"I saw that the door was open and came in by myself. What did you two say you were hiding?"

Judging from his appearance, he probably didn't hear the previous conversation, but only heard Zhang Quan's last words that he couldn't hide it. Zhao Hongxia reacted quickly and said quickly: "Of course they are hiding money. There are more and more yamen servants on the street. It seems very uneasy." , the most important thing for us to do business is the payment for goods."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hongxia touched an ingot of broken silver in her bosom and handed it over: "Wang Catcher, if there is any news about our place, you will know."

"Don't worry, it's fine. Even if we stay open at night in our town, we won't lose anything. The government servants on the street have nothing to do with it."

"That's good, that's good, Catcher Wang, are you here to buy something?"

"Jiang Zhinuan asked me to call you, please go."

Zhao Hongxia glanced back at Zhang Quan, both of them had doubts in their eyes, she just came back from prison, why did Jiang Zhinuan want to see her again?
"Sir, you stay at home, I'll go see if Miss Zhi Nuan is missing something."

Zhang Quan could only nod his head.

Zhao Hongxia followed Wang Catcher out of the grocery store, and on their way to the county government office, Zhao Hongxia couldn't help asking: "Wang Catcher, I just came back, and she called me again, did something happen? "

"The relationship between you and Jiang Zhinuan seems to be pretty good. You have been running around for her all this time."

Zhao Hongxia kept an eye out, and just said: "It's okay, the shop she rented belongs to my family, so it's naturally closer. Besides, she doesn't have any relatives, so I can only help her move around."

"Well, let me tell you the truth. Jiang Zhinuan offended someone in this matter. The confession has been written. As long as she signs it, my adults will punish her lightly. As long as she confiscates her property and drives her away from Pingxi Town, she will be fined." Can live well, otherwise, she is afraid that she will implicate you."

Zhao Hongxia pretended to be a little scared: "But she said that she never bought illegal salt. You said she offended someone. Who did she offend?"

"Some things, the less you know, the better." Wang Baotou looked up at the sky and said lightly: "Anyway, it's someone you and I can't afford to offend."

It seems that Jiang Zhinuan's guess is right.

It's the county grandfather.

Zhao Hongxia could only deal with Butcher Wang first: "I will try to persuade her."

"Well, you have to understand a truth. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. If this life is gone, everything will be gone."

Catcher Wang saw Zhao Hongxia delivered to the prison gate, and told Zhao Hongxia: "Persuade her well, our adults don't have much patience."

"I see. Thank you, Catcher Wang, for pointing it out."

Into the prison.

Jiang Zhinuan quickly waved to her: "Come on, come on."

"I just left, why did you find me again, did you think of a way?"

Jiang Zhinuan nodded again and again: "They are already preparing to force me to sign a confession statement. I think they are anxious because they can't find the salt dealer. Right now, they can only force the salt dealer to clarify for me, so that I can be cleared."

Zhao Hongxia naturally understood what Jiang Zhinuan said, but how to force the salt dealer to help Jiang Zhinuan clarify?
He is obviously in the same group as the county magistrate.

Jiang Zhinuan handed the money bag in his arms to Zhao Hongxia: "It's nothing more than using money. We will double the amount of benefits the county magistrate has given him. We can't use his family to force him to tell the truth!"

"Can it be done?"

"Go and try, we don't have much time."

"Sister Zhi Nuan, if you offended the magistrate, even if the salt dealer proves your innocence this time, what about next time? What about next time?
I think what Wang Butou said is right, if you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about firewood, or you can take Di Qing and the children to Yongning County, where my natal family is, with the support of my natal family and you If you can open a cooked food shop in Yongning County, life will get better soon. "

Jiang Zhinuan didn't think about it at all, and just shook his head.

The reed marshes were created by her hard work, and she also opened the delicatessen bit by bit.

From being homeless to now having a home of my own, others will not understand the hard work involved.

She will not give up everything she has worked hard step by step.

This is the place she traveled through, and deep down in her heart, she has already regarded this place as her home.

"Sister Hongxia, I won't leave. I did nothing wrong. Why should I confiscate my property and drive me away? If I do what they want, then I will be a sinner!"

Zhao Hongxia's eyes were full of helplessness: "If the people don't fight with the officials, we can't fight."

"Sister Hongxia, don't worry, I will definitely not implicate you, I have my own sense of propriety, and I will not compromise easily before the last step."

Zhao Hongxia could only nod her head: "Okay, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

The two got together and talked for a while, then Zhao Hongxia got up and left. When she walked out of the prison, Catcher Wang was still waiting outside.

Seeing Zhao Hongxia, she quickly responded, "What's the matter? Has she agreed to sign?"

"Wang Butou, this is not a trivial matter. Sister Zhinuan also said that she has never bought illegal salt, but the current situation seems to prove her innocence is useless. She asked to go to her house and talk to her. The family has discussed it carefully, and if the family agrees to move out of Pingxi Town, then she will no longer insist."

"Okay! Then go quickly, I'll give you another three days, after this time, we have plenty of ways to get her to sign."

Zhao Hongxia hurriedly nodded in response: "Okay, thank you, Catcher Wang, for playing around with it."

Wang Butou waved his hand: "Okay, let's go quickly."

Zhao Hongxia hurried back to the grocery store. As for what to say to discuss with Jiang Zhinuan's family, it was just delaying the time by fooling the king.

Right now, the most important thing is the salt dealer.

Once at home, Zhao Hongxia handed the money bag to Zhang Quan: "Take me to see the salt dealer quickly."

"Why did you see him? Where did you get the money bag?"

"Sister Zhinuan, take our money bag too, hurry up, time is running out."

It only took three days in total. If they couldn't buy the salt dealer with money, they had to kidnap people.

If neither of these two tricks works, you have to hurry up and think of other ways.

Zhao Hongxia didn't bother to explain to Zhang Quan carefully, but let Zhang Quan take her to meet the salt dealer quickly.
