Chapter 244 Visit 3
Zhong Qiaoer also came over and patted her mother's shoulder. She said comfortingly: "Mom, it's okay. It's all over. Xuan'er is fine."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Meng wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. It was so embarrassing. She started crying again and had to maintain her image.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Zhong Mansion, and the county magistrate Zhong Shuhua stood at the door with his hands behind his back to greet his wife and children.
Mrs. Meng got off the carriage first, turned around and carried her youngest son Xuan'er down, followed by Nanny Yun.
When Mrs. Meng saw her husband standing at the door, she pretended not to see him and simply walked past him with her son in her arms.
Humph, I get angry just by looking at him. Why does he act so arrogantly when I ask him to visit his savior?
"lady".
Nanny Yun, who was behind, hurriedly bowed to County Magistrate Zhong and said, "Master," and hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, Yun...Madam."
Zhong Qiaoer, who got off the car later, also saluted County Magistrate Zhong and said, "Daddy."
County Magistrate Zhong saw that his wife was clearly angry. Why didn't today's visit to the Su Mansion go smoothly? That Su Yu was asking for too much, and didn't like the gift he had given her?
Yes, he is a county magistrate after all. If he gives Su Yu an easy way out, it will be easier for him to pass the imperial examination in the future.
He tentatively asked his daughter, "Qiaoer, what's wrong with your mother? Did something happen?"
"My daughter doesn't know. I have some things to do in the pastry shop, so I'll go there first." After saying that, Zhong Qiaoer took the maid Qingshuang and ran away.
She didn't want to get involved in this mess. It was obvious that her father had made her mother unhappy.
Seeing that his daughter ignored him, he hurriedly chased her into the mansion.
In the side room, Mrs. Zhong put her son in her arms on the bed. Her son was still young and seemed so excited in the carriage just now. However, the carriage was shaking and he fell asleep in her arms in a short while.
Nanny Yun whispered: "Madam, the young master went out today and must be tired, so he fell asleep."
"Yes, let's go out and let Xuan'er have a good nap."
As soon as she walked out of the room, Mrs. Meng saw her husband standing at the door, "Madam, why are you ignoring me?"
Nanny Yun wisely retreated quietly.
"Hmph, don't call me Madam. I asked you to visit my benefactor but you didn't even go. Is our Xuan'er so unimportant in your heart?"
"Madam, that's not right. I just heard that Su Yu is uneducated and unskilled, so I'm afraid he won't pass the imperial examination, so I want to give him a backdoor."
These words made Mrs. Meng even angrier. "Hmph, Young Master Su is such a noble man, how could he be like this? And even if I asked you to open a back door, just do it. Why so much nonsense?"
"Madam, how can you say that? I am an upright and just official, how could I be so blatantly partial to someone..."
Mrs. Meng turned around and strode towards the front yard. She didn't want to listen to her husband's nagging. Her husband was always so old-fashioned and didn't know how to adapt. No wonder he was never valued and had never been promoted in all his years of service.
County Magistrate Zhong followed behind him happily.
At this moment, a constable came to report, "Sir, there is a case in the government office that needs to be reported to you."
County Magistrate Zhong had no time to manage these official affairs at the moment. He had to appease his wife first. "I don't have time to take care of these trivial matters for the time being. Let County Magistrate Yang handle them."
"Yes," the man retreated respectfully.
In the county jail, Liu Ermaizi watched the jailer coming to serve food and said, "Brother, give me a message. I want to see Captain Han."
"Oh, I see the captain, then," the jailer rubbed two fingers.
"I understand, I understand," Liu Ermaizi took out a piece of silver from his pocket, "Thank you for your help, brother."
The jailer smiled crookedly and said, "You are a sensible boy. I will pass on a message to you when I am free. It is not my business whether Captain Han comes or not."
"Yes, yes, that's for sure," Liu Ermaizi nodded and smiled apologetically.
As soon as the jailer left, he bent down and touched his crotch, it hurt so much.
His body could no longer support him and he fell straight back. Zhang Fei and Biao San hurried forward to support him.
Biao San, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fei: "Boss, it seems like you're bleeding down there again."
Liu Ermaizi secretly resented that Su Yu had really ruined him this time. If he didn't drag him down this time, all these years of his life would have been in vain.
The two men helped Liu Ermaizi to a pile of straw against the wall of the cell.
Zhang Fei said: "Boss, you should have a good rest. When Constable Han comes, we will ask him to call a doctor to see you."
Biao San also nodded in agreement, and he said naively: "Yes, yes, this lifeblood is very important. If you can't use it, you won't be able to go to a brothel in the future."
Liu Ermaizi's face turned black after hearing this. Zhang Fei nudged Biao San with his arm, signaling him to stop talking. Didn't he see that the boss's face was getting worse and worse?
But the three of them waited from noon until dinner time and still didn't see Constable Han show up.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Constable Han Guang hurried to the dungeon.
Han Guang has been very depressed these days. A few days ago, he found the body of his nephew Han Qin at the foot of Menghu Mountain.
Because the mountain was sparsely populated, it was a long time before the body was accidentally discovered by villagers who went to chop firewood. However, when it was discovered, his face had been torn into pieces by wild beasts. Only by looking at the jade pendant and clothes on his body could people barely determine that he was his nephew.
He hadn't seen his nephew for about a month, and his family thought that the boy had stayed in Baihua Tower again, so they didn't pay any attention to it. After all, his family was well aware of his bad behavior.
After a long time, his elder brother came to the county government office to look for him in person. They also went to the academy together to look for him, only to find that his nephew Han Qin had not attended classes for a long time, and the teacher, Master Yuan, had not sent anyone to his home to inform him in time.
In a fit of rage, he brought people to smash up the Dezhong Academy, and the teacher, Master Yuan, was also thrown into the dungeon.
These days, his eldest brother's family, as well as his parents, were all extremely sad and heartbroken. They refused to bury their nephew no matter what and insisted that he find the murderer.
He has been having a headache at home recently. Yesterday, he was still at home comforting his parents. Today, he reported to the county government office early. However, as soon as he arrived at the office, the jailer came to report that Liu Ermaizi was in the dungeon and wanted to see him.
This Liu Ermaizi usually helps him with the trivial matters that he cannot do in person. He was just released from prison last time, and now he is causing trouble again?
Although he was impatient, he thought that Liu Ermaizi was still useful, so he walked towards the dungeon.
