Chapter 86: Drumming and Grievances (The Last Day of the Month, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"I... I really don't know who my father-in-law's employer is, he only said that he was a girl, and he didn't tell me a word. Woo woo... My father-in-law did everything alone, and he only told me not to run around under the bridge. ”
Zhang Mazi squatted on the ground pitifully and cried: "You can spare me, I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home, huh...... Shall I take you to the bridge and wait for him? ”
A few people punched and kicked, and when they saw that they really couldn't ask anything, they were going to take Zhang Mazi to the bridge cave where he was hiding first, leaving two people to guard nearby, and the rest of them would send him to the yamen.
Jiang Erlang followed behind everyone with his niece in his arms, and when he saw that a donkey cart had been following them, he couldn't help asking: "Bao'er, what's going on with the donkey cart, is it the person who saved you?" ”
Yingbao then remembered that she had forgotten Sister Yanru, and hurriedly said: "It was Uncle Wu who saved me, he went to do business, and the niece of the inn lady followed behind, taking care of me temporarily, Bao'er will tell her now and ask her to go back." ”
"Okay, I just happened to be going to thank people too."
So Jiang Erlang walked to the donkey cart and said to Yan Ru on the car: "Thank you 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 the lady has something, please go back." ”
Yan Ru lifted the corner of the car curtain, revealing a half-delicate face, and said softly: "I don't dare to be Langjun's thanks, the slave has nothing else to do, today is just responsible for taking care of the little lady, if I go back now, I am afraid that I will be blamed by my aunt." If Lang Jun doesn't dislike it, the slave has a car here, and you can wait for Lang Jun to finish his business, and then send you back to the inn together. ”
"This..."Jiang Erlang was a little helpless, so he had to say: "That's going to be tiring for the lady, I'm afraid we will have to delay a lot of work along the way." ”
"It's okay, the slave has nothing else to do, and there is a donkey cart to travel, so he won't be tired."
Yan Ru peeked at Jiang Erlang and said softly: "Why don't Lang Jun put the little lady in the car, the slave's car will follow behind, and don't delay Lang Jun to do things." ”
Ying Bao looked at the embarrassed second uncle, then looked at Sister Yanru, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll take the donkey cart." ”
"Okay." Jiang Erlang was as good as a stream, and put his little niece in the car.
He has to take a few brothers to recognize the bridge cave, and he has to twist Zhang Mazi, and it is indeed a little inconvenient to hold his niece.
So, Sakura Po went back to the donkey cart.
The donkey cart slowly followed behind Jiang Erlang and his party, Yan Ru held Yingbao in her arms, and asked gently, "Xiao Bao'er, is that your second uncle?" ”
Sakura tried to look out of the car: "Hmm." ”
After a pause, Yan Ru asked again: "Then did your second aunt also come to the county seat?" ”
Ying Bao turned her head to look at Yan Ru, and said truthfully: "There is no second aunt." ”
Yan Ru's eyebrows curled, and she asked, "Then does your second uncle have children?" ”
Sakura Bao was confused by the question and nodded: "The second uncle has two children, the eldest is nine years old, and the younger one is almost five years old." "If Yanru uses her crooked brain, this alone is enough to scare her away.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ru looked even more happy, and asked shyly: "Then why don't you have a second aunt?" ”
Ying Bao was speechless, thought for a while and said, "The second aunt has passed away. "I'm sorry second uncle, I'll give you the name of a wife first, and someone in the province will beat you up.
Yan Ru really didn't say anything more.
Several people came to the vicinity of an arch bridge, Zhang Mazi pointed to the bottom of the bridge, "Let's sleep here at night." ”
Jiang Erlang took the lead in running down, and after inspecting it, he came up again, and said: "There is indeed a grass nest below, and a grass mat, it seems that someone has lived, Wang Ke, please keep you and Dashi nearby, I will send Zhang Mazi to the yamen, and I will rush back immediately." ”
"Okay, there you go." Wang Kedao.
"If you don't send me to the yamen, you don't talk ......" Zhang Mazi shouted angrily: "Don't talk about faith!" ”
The villager sneered, shoved a rag into his mouth, and kicked him: "What faith do you have to talk about!" ”
The remaining two pulled Zhang Mazi and dragged him to the county office.
Jiang Erlang and the three of them came to the gate of the county government and met Jiang Sanlang, Chun Niang, and Jiang Laohan and his wife.
Sakura jumped off the donkey cart and threw herself into Chunniang's arms in surprise.
Chun Niang hugged her daughter tightly, and her tears couldn't stop falling, "My Bao'er, are you hurt?" ”
"No, no." Yingbao pasted with A-Niang, and touched Chun-niang's face again, "A-Niang has lost weight." ”
Chunniang has indeed lost a lot of weight, and there are deep dark circles around her eyes, as if she is several years older than before.
Jiang Saburo also came over to hug his daughter and wife, his eyes were red, but his mouth was speechless.
Jiang Liu wiped his tears and said with a smile: "It's okay now, Bao'er is finally back, we are all relieved." ”
Jiang Sanlang swallowed his depression, gritted his teeth and said: "It's just right, we don't have to worry about anything, if I don't catch Chen Ergou and the employer behind him this time, I will never give up." ”
Originally, he was worried that the persecution was too tight and would anger the other party and cause them to kill people, so he didn't dare to take extreme actions, but now that Bao'er has returned safely, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
"Bao'er, tell Dad, who took you away?" Jiang Saburo asked.
Ying Bao: "It's the sister of Chen Changping's wife Han in Xichen Village, and Xiao Han took me to Zhouhe County and handed me over to her eldest uncle's house. ”
"Good!" Jiang Saburo touched his daughter's little head and looked firm: "Let's go beat the drum and voice the grievances!" When she went to the court, Bao'er said like this. ”
"Hmm!" Sakura nodded heavily.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drum at the entrance of the county government hall was beaten, and the drum beat for a long time, and the county order that sorted out the files in the county government was shocked.
"Who's drumming?" Mei Xian Ling frowned and asked.
He is in the process of handing over and resigning, why are the officials so ignorant, and they let people beat the drums indiscriminately.
A staff member hurriedly said: "Ming Mansion, go outside and take a look." ”
Mei Xian Ling waved his hand, "Go and come back quickly." ”
I still have a bunch of official documents to deal with, and I don't know when I can sort it out with the help of a staff member.
After a while, the staff member came back and reported: "There is a farmer outside who has sued his fellow villagers for hiring bandits to rob children, and now the family is outside, and they have caught a kidnapper, causing the crowd to watch." ”
Mei County's order became angry when he heard it, and scolded: "What kind of rule is this? If you don't hand over the pleadings first, you will grandstand and beat the drums? Tell someone to beat him twenty times first, and then come in and talk back! ”
Another staff member hurriedly said: "The Ming Mansion can't, the one who is taking over now has arrived, let's be restless, don't be impeached for a trivial matter, but the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Yes, Mingfu, we are all about to leave office, why bother with such a trivial matter, it is better to ask clearly first."
Mei Xianling twisted his eyebrows and said: "Then which of you will deal with it, it really can't be done, so hand it over to that person." ”
Anyway, my own formalities are almost the same, so I'll hand over this case to that person to handle it together.
"Liao went out to have a look." A staff member stepped out.
Mei Xianling nodded: "Okay, then there will be Brother Lao Liao." ”
