"I... I really don't know who my father-in-law's employer is. He only said that he was a woman, and didn't tell me a word. Woooooo... everything was done by my father-in-law alone, and he only let me stay under the bridge. Don't run around."

Zhang Mazi squatted on the ground pitifully and begged: "Please forgive me, I still have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Several people punched and kicked, seeing that there was really nothing to ask, they made up their minds and planned to take Zhang Mazi to find the bridge hole where he was hiding, leaving two people nearby to guard, and the rest of them turned him to the yamen.

Jiang Erlang followed the group with his niece in his arms. Seeing a donkey cart following them, he couldn't help asking: "Bao'er, what happened to the donkey cart? Is it the one who rescued you?"

Only then did Yingbao realize that she had forgotten Sister Yanru, and said quickly: "The one who saved me was Uncle Wu, he went to work, and the niece of the inn lady followed me, taking care of me for now, Baoer is going now Tell her, ask her to go back."

"Okay, I just want to thank you too."

So Jiang Erlang went to the donkey cart and said to Yanru who was in the cart: "Thank you for taking care of my niece. Jiang will go to the inn to thank Mr. Wu Lang when I turn around. Now I will send someone to the yamen. If the lady has something to do Please go back."

Yanru opened a corner of the car curtain, revealing half of her delicate face, and said softly: "Thank you for not being a gentleman, I have nothing else to do, I'm just responsible for taking care of the little lady today, if I go back now, I'm afraid I will be blamed by my aunt. If you don’t dislike it, I have a car here, and I can send you back to the inn together after I finish my business.”

"This..." Jiang Erlang felt a little helpless, so he could only say: "That will exhaust the lady, and I am afraid that we will have to delay a lot of time along the way."

"It's okay, I have nothing else to do, and I have a donkey cart instead, so I won't be tired."

Yanru took a peek at Jiang Erlang, and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you put the little lady in the car, and the slave's car will follow behind, so as not to delay your work."

Yingbao looked at the embarrassed second uncle, then looked at Yanru's sister, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll take the donkey cart."

"That's fine." Jiang Erlang followed his example and put his little niece in the car.

He had to take a few brothers to see the bridge hole, and he had to turn Zhang Mazi away, so it was really inconvenient to hold his niece.

So Yingbao went back to the donkey cart.

The donkey cart slowly followed behind Jiang Erlang and his party, Yanru held Yingbao in her arms, and asked softly, "Little Baoer, is that your second uncle?"

Yingbao tried her best to look out of the car: "Yes."

After a pause, Yanru asked again: "Then your second aunt also came to the county?"

Yingbao turned her head to look at Yanru, and said truthfully, "There is no second aunt."

Yanru frowned, and asked, "Then does your second uncle have any children?"

Yingbao was confused when asked, and nodded: "Second Uncle has two children, the older one is nine years old, and the younger one is almost five years old." If Yanru was thinking about it, this alone would be enough to scare her away .

Unexpectedly, Yanru's expression was even happier, and she asked shyly, "Then why don't you have a second aunt?"

Ying Bao was speechless, thought for a while and said, "Second Aunt has passed away." I'm sorry Second Uncle, I'll give you the name of being a wife first, in order to save someone from trying to trick you.

Yanru really didn't say anything.

A few people came to an arch bridge, Zhang Mazi pointed to the bridge, "We'll sleep here at night."

Jiang Erlang ran down first, and came up again after inspecting it, and said: "There is indeed a grass nest and a straw mat below, as if someone lived there, Wang Ke, please stay nearby with Dashi, I will send Zhang Mazi to the yamen. Come back right away."

"Okay, let's go." Wang Ke said.

"If you promise not to send me to the yamen, your words don't count..." Zhang Mazi yelled angrily, "You don't keep faith!"

The villager sneered, stuffed another rag into his mouth, and kicked him: "What trust can I have with you!"

The remaining two dragged Zhang Mazi to the county government office.

The three of Jiang Erlang came to the gate of the county government office, and met Jiang Sanlang, Chunniang, and the old man Jiang and his wife.

Yingbao jumped off the donkey cart and threw herself into Chunniang's arms in surprise.

Chun Niang hugged her daughter tightly, her tears couldn't stop falling, "My Bao'er, are you hurt?"

"No, no." Ying Bao stuck to A Niang and touched Chun Niang's face, "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 Sanlang also came to hug his daughter and wife, his eyes were red, but he couldn't speak.

Jiang Liushi wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "It's all right 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 his employer behind him this time, I will never give up."

At first, he was worried that too much persecution would anger the other party and cause them to kill and silence them, so he didn't dare to take extreme actions. Now that Bao'er has returned safely, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Bao'er, tell Dad, who took you away?" Jiang Sanlang asked.

Yingbao: "It's the sister of Chen Changping's wife Han in Xichen Village. Xiao Han brought me to Zhouhe County and handed me over to her uncle's family."

"Okay!" Jiang Sanlang patted his daughter's little head, with a firm expression on his face: "Let's go beat the drums and appeal for grievances! When we go to the court, Bao'er just said everything."

"En!" Yingbao nodded heavily.

...

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
The drum at the gate of the Qinmin Hall of the county government was beaten, and the sound of the drum continued for a long time, which shocked even the county magistrate who was sorting out the files in the county government.

"Who is beating the drums?" Mei County Magistrate asked with a frown.

He is already handing over the resignation procedures, why are the yamen servants so ignorant that they let people beat drums indiscriminately.

A staff member hastily said: "Mingfu, some people go outside to take a look."

The county magistrate Mei waved his hand, "Go and come back quickly."

I still have a lot of official documents to deal with, and I don't know when I will sort them out without the help of my staff.

After a while, the staff member came back to report: "A farmer outside sued a fellow villager for hiring bandits to rob children. Now the whole family is outside and has caught a kidnapper, causing crowds to watch."

The magistrate of Mei County became angry when he heard it, and cursed: "What kind of rule is this? If you have a grievance, you don't hand over the pleadings first, but instead beat the drums by sensationalizing? Ask someone to beat him twenty killing sticks first, and then come in to answer!"

Another staff member hastily said: "The Ming government can't do it. The one who takes over has already arrived. Let's stay calm and don't be impeached for a trivial matter. The loss outweighs the gain."

"That's right, Mingfu, we are almost retiring, why bother with such a trivial matter, it's better to ask clearly before talking about it."

Mei County Magistrate frowned and said: "Then one of you will deal with it. If it really doesn't work, just hand it over to that person."

Anyway, my own procedures are almost the same, so let's hand over this case to that person.

"Liaomou went out to have a look." A staff member came out.

Mei County Magistrate nodded: "Okay, then Brother Lao Liao."
