The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

I...I really don't know who my father-in-law's employer is. He only said she was a girl and didn't tell me a word. Wuwuwu...my father-in-law did everything by himself. He only let me stay under the bridge. Don't run around.

Zhang Mazi squatted on the ground pitifully and begged: Please spare me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home. Whew, wah, wah, wah...can't I take you to the bridge hole to wait for him?

Several people kicked and punched him, but when they saw that they really couldn't find out anything, they planned to take Zhang Mazi to find the bridge hole where he was hiding, leaving two people to guard nearby, while the others sent him to the Yamen.

Jiang Erlang followed the group with his niece in his arms. When he saw a donkey cart following them, he couldn't help but ask: Bao'er, what's going on with that donkey cart? Is he the one who saved you?

Only then did Ying Bao remember that she had forgotten Sister Yan Ru, and said quickly: The person who saved me was Uncle Wu. He went to do business. Following behind was the niece of the inn lady. She will take care of me for the time being. Bao'er will go now. Tell her to go back.

Okay, it just so happens that I also want to thank you.

So Jiang Erlang walked to the donkey cart and said to Yan Ru in the cart: Thank you madam for taking care of my niece. Jiang will go back to the inn to thank Wu Langjun. Now I will send someone to the Yamen. If Madam has anything to do, please Please go back.

Yan Ru opened a corner of the car curtain, revealing half of her delicate face, and said softly: I don't dare to be my husband's thank you. I have nothing else to do. I am just responsible for taking care of the little lady today. If I go back now, I may be blamed by my aunt. If you don’t mind me, I have a car here. I can wait for you to finish the business and then take you back to the inn together.”

This... Jiang Erlang was a little helpless and could only say: Then it will be tiring for my wife. I'm afraid we will have to waste a lot of time along the way.

It doesn't matter, I have nothing else to do, and I have a donkey and cart to travel with, so I won't be tired.

Yan Ru glanced at Jiang Erlang and said softly: Why don't you put the young lady in the car? The slave's car will follow behind, so as not to delay the husband's work.

Yingbao looked at her second uncle who looked embarrassed, then at sister Yanru, and said quickly: Then I'll take the donkey cart.

That's okay. Jiang Erlang obeyed and put his little niece in the car.

He had to take several brothers to find the bridge cave, and he also had to escort Zhang Mazi away. It was really inconvenient to hold his niece.

So Yingbao returned to the donkey cart.

The donkey cart slowly followed Jiang Erlang and his party. Yan Ru held Ying Bao in her arms and asked gently: Little Bao'er, is that your second uncle?

Yingbao tried her best to look out of the car: Yeah.

After a pause, Yan Ru asked again: Then your second aunt has also come to the county seat?

Ying Bao turned her head and looked at Yan Ru, and said truthfully: There is no second aunt.

Yan Ru arched her eyebrows and asked, Does your second uncle have any children?

Yingbao was confused by the question and nodded: Second uncle has two children. The older one is nine years old and the younger one is almost five years old. If Yanru tried her best, this alone would be enough to scare her away. .

Unexpectedly, Yan Ru looked even happier and asked with a shy look: Then why don't you have a second aunt?

Yingbao was speechless, thought for a while and said, Second aunt passed away. I'm sorry, second uncle, but I'll give you the title of being a wife-suppressant first, so that no one will try to get your idea.

Yan Ru really didn't say anything.

Several people came to an arch bridge. Zhang Mazi pointed under the bridge and said, Let's sleep here at night.

Jiang Erlang took the lead and ran down. After inspecting it, he came up again and said, There is indeed a straw nest and a straw mat down there. It looks like someone has lived there. Wang Ke, please stay nearby with Dashi. I will send Zhang Mazi to the Yamen. Be right back.

Okay, go ahead. Wang Ke said.

You promised not to send me to the Yamen, but you don't keep your word... Zhang Mazi shouted angrily: You don't have faith!

The villager sneered, stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth, and kicked him: What faith do I have to tell you!

The remaining two men pulled Zhang Mazi and dragged him to the county government office.

Jiang Erlang and the other three came to the gate of the county government office and met Jiang Sanlang, Chun Niang, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.

Ying Bao jumped off the donkey cart and threw herself into Chun Niang's arms in surprise.

Chun Niang hugged her daughter tightly and couldn't stop her tears from falling, My baby, is she hurt?

No, no. Yingbao kissed Aniang and touched Chunniang's face, Aniang has lost weight.

Chun Niang has indeed lost a lot of weight, and there are deep dark circles around her eyes. She seems to be several years older than before.

Jiang Sanlang also came over and hugged his daughter and wife, his eyes were red but he was speechless.

Mrs. Jiang Liu wiped her tears and said with a smile, It's good now. Bao'er is finally back, and we are all relieved.

Jiang Sanlang swallowed his frustration and gritted his teeth and said: It's just right, we don't have to worry about anything anymore. If we don't catch Chen Ergou and the employer behind him this time, I will never give up.

Originally, he was worried that pressing too hard would anger the other party and cause them to kill and silence him, so he didn't dare to take extreme action. Now that Bao'er is back safely, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Bao'er, tell dad, who took you away? Jiang Sanlang asked.

Yingbao: She is the sister of Chen Changping's wife Han in Xichen Village. The younger Han took me to Zhouhe County and gave me to her uncle's family.

Okay! Jiang Sanlang touched his daughter's little head and said firmly: Let's go beat the drum and complain! When we go to the court, Bao'er will tell you everything.

Yeah! Ying Bao nodded heavily.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The drum at the door of the county government's Qinmin Hall was beaten, and the drum sound continued for a long time, which shocked the county magistrate who was sorting out the files in the county government.

Who is playing the drums? Magistrate Mei asked with a frown.

He was already handing over the formalities for retiring from office. Why were the government officials so ignorant that they let people play drums randomly?

One of the staff members quickly said: Ming Mansion, let me go outside and take a look.

Magistrate Mei waved his hand, Go back quickly.

I still have a bunch of official documents to deal with, and I don’t know how long I will be able to sort them out if I don’t have a staff to help me.

After a while, the aide came back to report: A farmer's family outside sued a fellow villager for hiring gangsters to rob their children. The whole family was found outside and caught one of the kidnappers, causing people to watch.

When Magistrate Mei heard this, he got angry and cursed: What kind of rule is this? If you have a grievance, you don't hand over the petition first, but instead try to please others by playing drums? Ask someone to beat him with a twenty-kill stick first, and then come in and reply!

Another staff member said quickly: Not in the Ming Dynasty. The person who takes over now has arrived. Let's not be impatient. Don't be impeached for a trivial matter, which will outweigh the gains and losses.

Yes, Mingfu, we are about to leave office, why bother with such trivial matters again? Why don't we ask clearly first.

Magistrate Mei frowned and said, Then one of you will take care of it. If it doesn't work, just hand it over to that person.

Anyway, my handover procedures are almost the same, so let’s hand this case over to that person.

Liao, go out and take a look. A staff member came out.

Magistrate Mei nodded: Okay, then there is Brother Lao Liao.
