Chapter 319
County Office
This was the first time County Magistrate Qian met Mu Qingyi, the savior of his son and daughter, and because of her generous hand in saving those children, she added a splendid touch to his political achievements.

At this moment, county magistrate Qian felt a little uncomfortable when he brought his benefactor to the yamen for questioning, but when he thought of what she did, she didn't take him as the county magistrate at all, and his heart hardened completely.

"Who is in the hall?" County Magistrate Qian slapped the gavel and asked in a serious voice.

Mu Qingyi, who was a grassroots person, knelt in front of the hall and responded loudly: "Mu Qingyi, a daughter of the people."

County Magistrate Qian asked coldly, "Can you be convicted?"

Mu Qingyi shook her head: "I don't know."

County magistrate Qian slapped the gavel again, with an angry look on his face, "The notice posted on the city's notice wall, but what did you do?"

"It's a folk girl." Mu Qingyi said.

"Then you still haven't pleaded guilty?"

Mu Qingyi raised her head, looked at Qian County Magistrate who was sitting behind the case, and said with clear eyes, "I don't know what crime the woman committed?"

County magistrate Qian snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You disregard the law, spread rumors to create troubles, and disturb the hearts of the people. How dare you ask what you are guilty of?"

Mu Qingyi said: "Everything the girl said is true, the water veins are dirty, long-term consumption is harmful to the body, it is by no means alarmist, please be careful."

County magistrate Qian had a cold look in his eyes, thinking that this dead girl really didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, and she went to the court, and he made his words so clear, yet she was still stubborn.

"You said that the water veins are dirty, do you have evidence?"

Mu Qingyi said: "Folk girls have studied medicine since they were young, and they are also very sensitive to smells. It is not unusual to smell strange smells floating in the water. In addition, the number of people with diarrhea in the city has increased sharply recently. It seems to be related to water pollution. Adults can find out when they check. .”

County Magistrate Qian snorted coldly, "I also have a well in my house, so why didn't the situation you mentioned happen?"

Mu Qingyi said: "The well in your home must be deep. The deeper the well, the water quality and the surface water veins are extremely difficult to interfere with each other, so there is nothing wrong with your home. But it doesn't mean that others are as lucky as you. Everyone has the ability to spend a lot of money to drive wells into permeable strata to obtain real groundwater for drinking, and the wells most people use are just ordinary wells."

"It's nonsense. If you say that, there is no evidence?" County Magistrate Qian snorted coldly.

Mu Qingyi frowned, didn't she tell the evidence?Why do you still say she is undocumented?
County magistrate Qian said again: "Since there is no evidence, it is a rumor. I think you are the first offender, and you will not be given a heavy sentence. You will be detained for ten days to think about it. Take it away."

Mu Qingyi felt very helpless, the county magistrate seemed to want to suppress the matter because he didn't want to cause any trouble during his reign.But this kind of thing, how can it be suppressed if it is said to be suppressed, the people have to drink water every day, the toxins accumulate more and more, first diarrhea, then what?

She didn't say any more, and what she said was in vain.

Fortunately, Yu Rui and Cai Cheng were there to help her accommodate the jailer and arrange her into the cleanest single cell.

But no matter how clean a prison cell is, it is not as comfortable as the outside.

After waiting for too long, Xie Qingchen and Feng Er came in a hurry, and Doctor Liao went to meet the county magistrate in person.

However, it was useless. County magistrate Qian didn't believe that there was a problem with the water quality.

Xie Qingchen looked at the girl in the cell, frowned and said, "I'll take you away at night."

Mu Qingyi shook her head, "No need, it's only ten days, it will pass soon."

Feng Er couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help but ask: "Miss Mu, why did you do this when you knew it would happen? Is it worth it?"

Mu Qingyi said: "I just want to have a clear conscience. If I don't do anything, then even if I stay at home with a high bed and a soft pillow, it may not be as comfortable as living in this prison cell." She has tried her best and done everything she can , and even went to prison for it.

As for the final result, it is beyond her control, so let's see.

"Do you really want to stay here for ten days?" Xie Qingchen asked.

Mu Qingyi twitched the corners of her lips, nodded calmly, "Ten days will be ten days, it's no big deal, please take care of Qingwen."
