Chapter 171: Resolving the Crisis
If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will spread more than the matter of buying and selling children's voices, and when the time comes, it will alarm the people above, and the county lord's black gauze hat will also be lost, although this matter has nothing to do with him in essence, but as a parent official, he did not protect his own people is the biggest fault.
The mother and the child were all sent home by the county magistrate, and a lot of silver taels were distributed, and those children were lying behind the bed, one after another became a time bomb, and I don't know when someone would vomit blood and die.
The county magistrate could only walk around in the room, but there was no way, and all the famous doctors in the town had summoned him, and he couldn't see why.
The spiritual spring water made them drink and drink, but it didn't work at all.
The county master finally looked at Shen Qingqing and could only smile bitterly: "Madam." I'm afraid that this time you and your husband will have to stay in the government for a little longer. ”
"I know."
First, they are the ones who report to the official, and secondly, she has some medical skills that can be treated, and these children can't give up because of reason.
"And what are you going to do after that?"
"Trial." A word came out of the county master's mouth. "I don't believe that I can't find a reason, no matter how hard those people's mouths are, can they survive me?"
Although Shen Qingqing has not dealt with the county master, but according to his previous style of doing things, Shen Qingqing also has some understanding, the county master is more than merciful, cruel is not enough, and those kidnappers are all licking blood on the tip of the knife, and their mouths are as hard as stones, if it is the county lord or according to yesterday's trial law, I am afraid that there will be no whereabouts for ten days and half a month.
As soon as Shen Qingqing said his thoughts, the county lord slapped his thigh: "Yes, the two of you follow me, I will make an exception today, and I will see if these kidnappers are hard-mouthed or madam, you are smart." ”
It was the first time Shen Qingqing went to the prison, it was gloomy and dark, and as soon as he entered, there was an indescribable smell, and when he entered his nose, it was the smell of blood and hell.
And Lin Zhong's hand was tightly placed on her shoulder, so as not to cause any danger.
Shen Qingqing was still very nervous just now, but when he saw Lin Zhong's honest appearance protecting him, he smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no danger if the county lord is next to us." ”
"It's too late to be in any danger at that time, so I'd better protect you."
Shen Qingqing's heart warmed, and he walked forward for less than a while and came to the place where the kidnappers were being held.
Those kidnappers were all tied to the pillars, and although the clothes on their bodies were dirty, and there were vague marks on them, it could be seen that the county lord was not ruthless.
When the three or four kidnappers saw the county master coming, their heads were turned to the side, and it seemed that no matter what tricks they showed today, they had made up their minds not to say anything.
The county old man was so angry that he couldn't do anything, so he could only point at a few of them and scold: "Do you guys say it or not?" Hurt other people's children like that, do you have any conscience? Come! Splash them with water to sober me up. ”
With the order of the county lord, the other officers and soldiers immediately took a basin of cold water and splashed it on the kidnappers, and the cold water splashed on them in this freezing weather was enough for them.
But I didn't expect that these kidnappers just spat at the mouth, gritted their teeth and didn't say a word.
"Call me!" The county lord shouted again.
The officers and soldiers took whips in their hands and hit the kidnappers again and again, and their voices sounded crisp, but the kidnappers did not mean anything at all.
Shen Qingqing looked at this and couldn't do it, these kidnappers estimated that the methods in their hands were much more cruel than the county grandfather, and they were no longer afraid of these.
"Wait a minute." Shen Qingqing called a stop. "I think the kidnappers' teeth are harder than the stones, and if they used this method, they wouldn't have said it."
"So what do you say you should do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, there must be all kinds of criminal laws in this prison." Shen Qingqing smiled, and her extremely bewitching face was like a flower on the other side. "These punishments are used on these kidnappers, and I try them over and over again, and I don't believe it, and they don't say it."
Sure enough, when he heard this sentence come out, the kidnapper's face did change.
The county magistrate was originally merciful, but now he has made a mistake, if these people don't say anything more, his black gauze hat will not be guaranteed, and Shen Qingqing's words are also reasonable.
The county magistrate immediately waved his hand: "Come on, go to the criminal law." ”
Shen Qingqing didn't even look at those criminal laws, but he felt like he was falling into hell when he heard the screams of those kidnappers.
She could only twist her face into Lin Zhong's embrace, and Lin Zhong kept rubbing his hair: "It's okay, it's okay, it's over in a while." ”
"I said, I said......" Finally, a kidnapper couldn't stand Tao Xing and shouted, his face was full of blood, and there was hardly a good place on his body, and he couldn't stand the pain, so he immediately shouted. We have poisoned all those children, and the antidote is buried near the ruined temple, and you can find it if you go and find it. ”
With his words, the county magistrate gave an order, and a lot of people went to the temple quickly.
The county magistrate was not at ease and took Shen Qingqing and the two of them in the forest to pass, and when the three of them passed, they had already doubled the broken temple, and the foundation was about to be turned out, and finally found a crockpot in a hidden corner, and opened the crockpot and put a lot of powdery things inside.
The officer and soldier handed the powder to the county master: "Master, this is what was dug up, I don't know if it's an antidote." ”
The county master glanced at Shen Qingqing, Shen Qingqing took the powder and put it in his mouth and tasted it a little, and finally nodded: "These are the antidotes, let those children eat them quickly." ”
Catch quickly and quickly took the powder to the government mansion and fed the children to eat, but the matter on the side of the broken temple is not over yet.
These catchers can be regarded as diligent, and they want to find an antidote to turn over the broken temple, and the grove next to them has also doubled, and four corpses that have turned into white bones were dug up on the ground.
The county magistrate looked around the corpse, and even if the master was holding his body, he couldn't walk steadily: "My mother, is there another murder here?" ”
The master was smarter, and said next to him: "Master, I'm afraid this was a few months ago, and if there is a murder, you can't blame it." ”
"That's good, that's good."
It's not that the county master is not serious, but this matter is enough for him to be busy, and if there are some more murders, it will really be enough for him to eat a pot.
Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong glanced at each other on the side, they naturally knew where these four corpses came from, when Lin Zhong was stimulated and went crazy, they killed these four people, so they buried these four corpses next to the forest, and it seemed that they had seen the light of day again.
However, the two of them will not say anything about this matter, and they will definitely not cause fire.
Back at the official mansion, the county lord made sure that the children had woken up and took a long breath: "This matter is finally over, Madame is still thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been dismissed." ”
On the one hand, it is because of Shen Qingqing's identity, and on the other hand, because she has really helped a lot, and the county master seems to be pulling with her.
Shen Qingqing hurriedly shook his head: "You are still wise, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found an antidote, which is what we should have done at that time." ”
"Come on." The county magistrate waved his hand, and the master immediately held a plate with two hundred taels of silver on it. "This silver is a reward for you to catch the kidnappers and have the power, so you can take it."
These silver are not ill-gotten gains, and Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong no longer shirk it.
After two days of busy work in the town, Xiao Douding and Yulian didn't know what was going on at home, and now that things were in order, they had no reason to stay, so they got into the carriage and went home.
On the way, Shen Qingqing took a long breath and lay in the arms of the forest, he really felt extremely warm, and the whole person was also collapsed.
Shen Qingqing just felt that she was content before, but she never thought that others were living as if they were in dire straits, and the picture of the mother holding the child and crashing to death on the wall remained in her mind for a long time.
Lin Zhong naturally knew what she was thinking, so he just comforted and comforted in a low voice: "If we see these things, we will help, but if we can't see them, don't bother ourselves anymore." Moreover, this winter is destined to be a rough year, and we must also make ourselves prosperous. ”
What Lin Zhong said was too rational, but it was also true.
Back at home, the two of them went to bed early after dinner, and the brightly lit Jiudaoguan, the paper boats and lanterns in the land of fireworks floated, and the lanterns crossed to the gate of the official mansion and came to the prison.
The kidnappers were tied to the pillars, and suddenly one of them vomited blood, and the officers and soldiers next to him thought that the kidnappers were playing some tricks, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?" Do you want to live anymore? You ......"
Who knew that before he finished his sentence, he saw that several other kidnappers also vomited blood, and the blood had already turned black, and several people all closed their eyes.
Dead, these kidnappers died mysteriously under the guard of the government.
