Chapter 24 The Old Lady

As the sky was getting darker, at the gate of the Shucheng county government office, a group of office workers stood up and yawned: "It's getting colder today."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, looking forward to getting off work soon, so that he could go home early and his wife and children would warm up the kang.

At this time, a handsome girl with a basket came not far away, and the yamen servant greeted with a smile: "Miss Qiao'er, what time is this?"

The delicate girl smiled and said: "The old lady has lost her appetite recently, so I went to buy some hawthorn cakes."

The yamen servant responded with a smile: "This hawthorn cake is even more delicious from Fuji Bakery."

The yamen servant knows how to do things. Knowing that Qiao'er is the personal maid of his elder mother, he pulls Qiao'er and praises her fiercely.

Qiao'er is a transparent mind, knowing that the other party is only promoting her for the sake of her master, so she just listens with a smile.When the yamen servant had finished speaking, she nodded and smiled and said, "Oh, I was too busy talking to you. If the old lady can't wait for me, she should be in a hurry."

After saying that, he resigned from the yamen servant and went to the Yamen Bijiaomen.

One foot was about to step into the threshold of the corner gate, when Qiaoer heard the voice of the yamen servant from behind: "Second brother Wang, where did you go on business? Are you back so late?"

I only heard the man called Second Brother Wang say: "Don't mention it, I ran to Daluo Village, the mountain nest is far away, my brother's feet are bleeding and blistered."

Qiaoer was curious and glanced back.

With just one glance, he saw the thin girl who was escorted in the middle by two officials.

Qiaoer opened her eyes wide in surprise, and murmured, "It's her."

Seeing the girl being pushed and shoved into the yamen by the officials, Qiaoer also hurried to the backyard of the yamen.

"Old lady, I just saw, saw." Qiaoer ran into the second door panting, unable to speak clearly.

The old woman who was planting vegetables in the flower garden gave an angry look when she heard the commotion, and said, "Look at you running, wait until you can catch your breath before you speak."

Qiao'er swallowed her saliva, gasped and said: "Old lady, I just saw the kapok girl who rescued you that day. She was arrested by the officials and put into prison."

"What!" The old lady dropped the little flower hoe in her hand and stood up abruptly: "Did you see it right?"

Qiao'er hurriedly helped her up: "Wait a little longer, I see it for real, it's the girl who saved your life at the bank that day, there's nothing wrong with it."

It turned out that this old lady was the old lady that Kapok had rescued in the bank.

The old lady is a warm-hearted person, otherwise she would not speak up like that in Qianzhuang. Now that she heard that her savior was arrested, she couldn't sit still, and said anxiously: "Let's go, follow the old lady to find your lord."

In the study room of the government office, Cai Shumin, the newly appointed magistrate of Shucheng County, is busy with official duties.

Cai Shumin is a student of the Son of Heaven, but he was not determined to be in the Hanlin Academy, so he sought to be released a few years ago and took up the post of magistrate of Shucheng County.

Cai Shumin came from a poor family, with lofty aspirations, and wanted to make some achievements in Shucheng County, but he suffered from the complicated officialdom in Huainan Road, and even this small county government office was intricately intertwined, which made it impossible for him to start.

Cai Shumin took a picture of a document on the table, and a trace of anger appeared on the gentle and handsome face: "Shameless child!"

The old lady of the Cai family, Mrs. Chen, entered the study at this time, she was very surprised to see her son who was usually calm and sullen, but she was worried about her benefactor at this time, so she didn't think much about it.

She said loudly: "You child, didn't I tell you to find my benefactor? Why did you put her in prison instead?"

Seeing that it was her mother who came, Cai Shumin suppressed her anger and returned to her usual calm and elegant appearance: "Mother, why are you here? What happened to you? You are so anxious. The doctor said to let you have a good life, but you can't." angry."

Chen said the matter.

Cai Shumin's face sank slightly: "There is such a thing? I don't know."

After a pause, he said again: "Mother, don't worry, I'll talk to you after I find out about this."

Seeing that her son didn't know what he looked like, Mrs. Chen could only nod her head: "No! The old woman has to go and see that girl first, she is only a 14-year-old girl, how can she endure the pain of prison?"

Cai Shumin had always had nothing to do with her mother, so she could only ask Qiao'er to take care of the Chen family, while she went to investigate the case herself.

In the dark and damp cell, Kapok is sitting on the ground paved with hay and closing his eyes to rest.

Things happened so fast that Kapok was caught off guard.

As early as yesterday when Yan Yiming came home, she had told Gu Yueniang and the others that if something happened to her, they would immediately spread the news about the prescription.

Thinking about it, it won't be long before this medicine will fall into the hands of the common people like snowflakes, making it impossible for Shopkeeper Qian to succeed.

However, she can still deal with a small shopkeeper, but if it is a magistrate of a county, if he knows that he has spoiled his good deeds, he will become angry from embarrassment. In this way, things will be a little tricky.

Mu Mian thought for a long time. Now that she is in prison, she really has no choice but to use the space to escape first.But in that case, she wouldn't be able to go back to Daluo Village, and Gu Yueniang and the others might have to bear the wrath of Liu Xiancheng and the others.

No matter, the big deal is to escape with them.

At the same time, she regretted a little. She shouldn't have spent 2000 points of luck so early. If she still had 3825 points of luck, wouldn't she be luckier and escape this difficulty?

But it is useless to regret, Mu Mian smiled wryly, she has only been in this world for only three days, but she has experienced more things than her entire life in her previous life.

Although Mu Mian was anxious in her heart, her face was calm as usual, she just sat quietly like this, as if what she was living in was not some dirty and dark prison, but some high house.

All these things can't make her look frightened and hesitant, but it makes the prison head who patrols the room look up a few times.

One must know that in his place, even those high-ranking officials from the wealthy family would be short of breath when they came in. If ordinary civilians came in, which one wouldn't be so scared that they peed their pants?If you are more timid, it is not uncommon to be scared to death!
The prison chief knocked on the iron fence curiously: "I said, you little girl, why don't you know how to be afraid? Don't you know that Liu Xiancheng is a ruthless character in our county?"

Mu Mian opened her eyes, her eyes were calm and clear without waves, she smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."

The jailer sneered: "You little girl, don't pretend to be in front of me. The old man who was robbed of his daughter by Liu Xiancheng said he was not afraid at first, but now you know how he is?"

Kapok remained calm: "How?"

Probably because he wanted to see how frightened Mu Mian looked, the cell boss had a hideous face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Later, the old man was killed by Liu Xiancheng's dogs, three big dogs half a person tall, After rushing forward, the old man didn't even have a single bone left. Tsk tsk, what a pity—"

Mu Mian was also flustered, but she had the space to be close to her, so she didn't panic at all.

Seeing Mu Mian's reaction, the prison chief was really surprised, as if he didn't give up, he said again: "Do you know who was imprisoned in your cell before?"

Just as Mu Mian was about to ask who it was, a voice came from outside the cell. After a while, another guard came over with an old lady and a pretty little girl, and Mu Mian immediately recognized the person.

The prison boss recognized the person faster than Kapok, he nodded and said, "Old lady, why did you come here? This place is very dirty, don't stain your eyes."

The people who come here are Chen Shi and Qiao'er.

Chen asked the prison head to open the cell door for her, and asked with concern: "What happened to you girl?"

Kapok still doesn't know that Mrs. Chen is Cai County Magistrate's mother, but she knows that this old lady must have an unusual status, maybe she is her noble person.

So, he told the whole thing.

Chen was very angry when she heard that, she stood up and said angrily: "This Liu Xiancheng is so ruthless! Mian girl, don't worry, my son Cai Shumin is the county magistrate of Shucheng, and I will definitely be able to make decisions for you Keep you safe."

At this time, another person came in from outside the cell. He was wearing a blue official uniform and a black gauze official hat. He was as slender as a bamboo, with delicate and handsome features. It was Cai Shumin.

Chen rushed forward excitedly and asked, "Zhiyan, are you here to let Mian girl out?"
