Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 197 One wave has not settled down, another wave has arisen

196
When Ning Juan heard the celestial little girl calling her, she regained consciousness instantly, and asked in a daze, "You belong to Wen Qishui... Is he seriously injured? Can I go in and have a look at him?"

Facing the worry in Shang Ningjuan's eyes, Nuan Nuan paused and asked, "How did he get hurt?"

Ning Juan lowered her head and bit her lip: "I caused him to be beaten."

Nuan Nuan was dumbfounded: "Didn't you hit it?"

"Although I didn't hit it, Wen Qishui was injured because of me." Ning Juan had guilt and worry on her face, and pleaded again: "Girl, can I go and see him?"

Seeing that Ning Juan didn't want to say more, Nuan Nuan didn't continue to ask, and turned her sideways to let her into the restaurant: "My third brother hasn't woken up yet, are you going to visit him in his room?"

San Lang and Ning Juan are not related, if rumors spread that she entered San Lang's house, her innocence would be ruined, so Nuan Nuan had to ask more questions.

Ning Juan asked back, "You are Wen Qishui's younger sister?"

Nuannuan noticed the look on her face, and pursed her lips, "Yes."

"Fudong, take Miss Ning to see my third brother." Nuannuan gave Fudong a wink, she didn't intend to bring anyone in.

As soon as Fudong took her away from the lobby of the restaurant, Liao Qingshui said angrily: "Nuan Nuan, this girl is very fierce, she beat San Lang like that, why don't you let her go to see San Lang?"

San Lang hasn't woken up yet, if Ning Juan makes another move, will San Lang still survive?
When did Nuan Nuan's heart become so big?
Liao Qingshui didn't go out just now, so he didn't know that Ning Juan was not responsible for Sanlang's injury.

"Brother Qingshui, I guarantee that Miss Ningjuan won't beat my third brother, so don't worry." Nuan Nuan smiled and comforted him: "My third brother's injury looks serious, but it's actually an external injury, you don't have to worry. Hurry up and go to bed, you have to open the door for business tomorrow."

This brother Qingshui is married and has two children, yet he is still so slow in matters of affection.

Can't he see that Ning Juan's face is full of worries about the third brother? How can he be against the third brother again?

Besides, even if he did it, wouldn't Fudong still be there?

Back in his own room, Nuannuan's face turned cold, and he said to Lianqiu: "I want to know who hurt my third brother!"

If Ning Juan did it, she would have nothing to say if her third brother molested him first; but now it was someone else who beat her, she couldn't let her third brother suffer this beating in vain!

Lianqiu brought back the news the next morning: "It was the third young master who was beaten by the servants of a squire named Xiong in Zhongzhou City."

Nuan frowned.

How did the third brother provoke the squire here?
As soon as Wen Nuan raised her eyes, Lian Qiu knew what she wanted to ask: "Miss Ning Juan's father was acquainted with Mr. Xiong's family when he was alive. Mr. Xiong often brought people to eat and drink at Ning's restaurant, but Mr. Ning didn't know Mr. Xiong actually fell in love with Miss Ningjuan and wanted to marry her as his concubine.

"I asked Miss Ning Juan's mother specifically. Aunt Ning said that before Boss Ning passed away, Master Xiong had mentioned this matter to Boss Ning himself. Boss Ning loved Miss Ning Juan very much. As a concubine, she broke off contact with Mr. Xiong in a rage.

"The business of the Ning family's restaurants has gradually declined. Boss Ning has fallen ill again at this time. In order to see Boss Ning's doctor, the Ning family soon emptied out all the family assets. In order to borrow money, Aunt Ning gave away all the valuables in the family. Everything he had was mortgaged to the pawnshop, including the house.

"What the Ning family doesn't know is that the owner of this pawnshop is Mr. Xiong. Mr. Xiong took people to collect the house last night, saying that the Ning family had delayed paying the debt for too long. In addition to collecting the house, they also charged interest. The Ning family If you can't get the money, Mr. Xiong will take Miss Ning Juan away."

Nuan Nuan already guessed something: "So when my third brother passed by last night, he happened to see the Xiong family trying to rob Miss Ning Juan and stood up for her. That's why he was beaten?"

The squires of this dynasty sometimes have as much influence in the local area as the government. Unexpectedly, the third brother actually confronted the squires here.

From Lianqiu's words, it can be heard that the reason why the Ning family has fallen to this point is clearly the plan of Mr. Xiong. Mr. Xiong's goal has always been Miss Ning Juan.

"You go back to the room for a rest first, and find out the cause of Boss Ning's death later!"

The incident was so coincidental that Wen Nuan had to be suspicious of Boss Ning's death.

Even if the other party is a squire, if he hits her brother, he must pay her back!

Wen Nuan went to the government office again and asked about the Xiong family.

She had to look at Xu Qian's attitude towards the Xiong family to determine what step she could take.

When mentioning Master Xiong, Xu Gan couldn't help but frown: "Why did Xiang Jun ask about Xiong Jinhe?"

Xiong Jinhe is the father of the elder Xiong Yi that Lianqiu mentioned.

Seeing Xu Gan's expression, Wen Nuan knew that for Xu Gan, Xiong Jinhe was a headache for him, so she was relieved: "My third brother was beaten by the servants of the Xiong family."

Xu Qian's eyebrows jumped: "What's going on?"

It's really a wave of unrest, a wave of another.

Nuan Nuan told Xu Gan the whole story, Xu Gan pondered for a moment, and said, "The government asked Xu Chenghai to come to Xiong's house to ask about the specific situation."

Xiong Jinhe, as a local squire, even if he is a magistrate, he can't summon him if he wants to.

If possible, he hoped that Lord Xiang could mediate with Xiong Yi in private.

"You're causing trouble to the magistrate." Knowing Xu Gan's attitude, Nuan Nuan didn't stay in the government office much.

As soon as Wen Nuan left, Xu Chenghai walked in: "My lord, has the Xiangjun returned?"

Seeing the anxious look on Xu Chenghai's face: "I'm going back, what's the matter?"

"My lord, Zhu Mingqiang vomited blood."

Xu Chenghai had some guesses that Xu Chenghai didn't say.

Zhu Mingqiang was fine when he came in, and they hadn't tortured Zhu Mingqiang yet, so he suddenly vomited blood, which was really suspicious.

Coincidentally, Mr. Xiang went to see Zhu Mingqiang in the cell yesterday, so he had to wonder if Mr. Xiang did something to Zhu Mingqiang?
However, when Mr. Xiang saw Zhu Mingqiang yesterday, he kept staring at him, but he didn't realize what Mr. Xiang did to Zhu Mingqiang.

Xu Qian also had the same guess in his heart, but he didn't show it: "Let the doctor take a look first, Zhu Mingqiang can't have anything wrong now."

After asking the doctor to see it, it turned out that Zhu Mingqiang was infected with tuberculosis, Xu Gan said in surprise, "Is it really tuberculosis?"

"The two doctors said that Zhu Mingqiang suffered from tuberculosis, but the strange thing is that Zhu Mingqiang had no symptoms before, but today he suddenly vomited blood." Xu Chenghai looked at his lord hesitantly.

Xu Gan guessed what he wanted to say: "This government is still the same sentence, this government only looks at the evidence."

After a pause, Xu Gan sighed helplessly: "Let the doctor do his best to treat you."

Wen Nuan went to see San Lang when she returned to the restaurant, and found that he had woken up, and the bruise on his face had healed up a lot. Liao Qingshui was reapplying her herbal ointment on him.
