Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 63 Seeking justice for Lian Hang

Mu Family Flower Hall

The case was solved, and Pei Zhizhao and Jiang Xihe were about to return home. After being released from office, Mu Huairen once again hosted a banquet for the two of them to see them off, "Brother Zhizhao, will you go back tomorrow morning?"

Pei Zhizhao clasped his fists, "In the past few days in Tongshan Mansion, I have discussed a lot with Brother Mu about how to be an official. There are also many things in the county government. I can't delay any longer."

Mu Huairen reluctantly picked up the wine cup, "I have to thank Miss Jiang for Lin Qiaoniang's case. It was really exciting in the court today. I didn't expect how many things you two found out in the past few days."

Mu Huairen's smile deepened, "I'm ashamed to say that the case of our Tongshan Mansion has caused both of you to worry."

Pei Zhizhao was modest, "Now my status in Tongshan Mansion is different, and my visits and investigations are very casual. Unlike you, who are under great pressure. For me, it doesn't matter whether I can find the murderer or not. Only in this way can I let go." Think about the problem.”

Mu Huairen laughed loudly, "I hope there will be no more murders, otherwise I will really have a headache. Come on, Miss Jiang, let me toast you."

Jiang Xihe happily picked up the wine cup, but before he could say anything, Mu Lianhang, accompanied by the housekeeper, ran in crying and threw himself into Mrs. Mu's arms, "Mom, beat me."

The sudden change caused all four of them to put down their wine cups. Mu Huairen turned coldly and pulled his son over to look at him carefully.

Jiang Xihe saw that one side of Mu Lianhang's clothes was torn, and there were several scratches on his face. He might have been crying for a long time, and he was out of breath when talking.

Mrs. Mu held Mu Lianhang in her arms distressedly, with a hint of anger in her eyes, "Tell me what happened? How did you get such a good beating?"

Lian Hang paused for a while and said intermittently, "Master took the Wen Chang test a few days ago, and everyone was answering the questions seriously. I found that Dafang was writing cheat sheets. The results were released today, and Dafang got the first place, so I told Master that Dafang plagiarized. Dafang refused to acknowledge what happened, so he encouraged the two parties to beat me during the break. I refused to accept it, and that’s what happened.”

Mu Huairen was so angry that he slapped Lian Hang on the butt, "If you don't study hard, what trouble will you get into?"

Jiang Xihe did not expect Mu Huairen to have this attitude when teaching children. He looked at Pei Zhizhao, who was also looking at her, with helplessness in their eyes.

Pei Zhizhao looked away calmly and tried to persuade Mu Huairen, "Brother Mu, it is normal for children to have frictions. Just solve the problem. Besides, Lian Hang is not wrong, the fault lies with the other party."

Lian Hang looked at Pei Zhizhao gratefully, wiped his face with his little hands to stop crying.

Mu Huairen sighed, "Brother Pei, I don't know, it's not easy for me to be a seventh-rank official. Although you are also the county magistrate, you are the general of Pingxi. You are a real first-rank official. Did you know? Dafang Erfang's aunt is from the palace." You are a noble man, the Qi family has always been arrogant in Tongshan Mansion, there are countless houses, houses, and shops. I, a little seventh-grade official, challenge the Qi family, isn't that just trying to beat a stone with an egg?"

Children's matters involve intricate interpersonal networks, and simplicity becomes complicated.

Mrs. Mu pulled up the chair next to her and comforted Mu Lianhang, "I guess you didn't eat anything in school. Come, Aunt Xiaohe is going back to Ping'an County tomorrow, so you should sit down and eat together."

Mrs. Mu saw Master Mu's attitude. He wanted to make the trivial matter disappear. In this case, she couldn't speak, so she lowered her eyes and pretended to serve Mu Lianhang with red circles.

Mu Lianhang was unwilling, but when he saw that his parents had no intention of venting their anger on his behalf, he lowered his head in aggrieved manner and quickly took the rice into his mouth.

Jiang Xihe felt a sense of sourness in his heart. How could right and wrong be distorted because of status?

She looked at Pei Zhizhao. He frowned and his face was dark.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly turned gloomy.

At this time, the housekeeper hurried in with a panic look on his face, "Sir, Mrs. Qi's wife is waiting in the living room with her son. She said she wants to ask Mr. Mu for an explanation."

Mu Huairen was startled and looked at Mu Lianhang. Mu Lianhang dropped his chopsticks to the ground and said dullly, "Dafang and Fang never hit me. Although I was injured, I scratched Dafang's face. I also knocked out a tooth on both sides." Mu Huairen's face turned even darker.

When Jiang Xihe heard this, she suppressed her smile. She just wanted to applaud the little guy. Everything has its own right and wrong. As a person, you should not take the initiative to bully others, but you should not swallow your anger when being bullied by others. This is Jiang Xihe's life principle.

After listening to Mu Lianhang's narration just now, Jiang Xihe was already angry with the attitude of the Mu family and his wife. They would rather leave things alone and destroy Mu Lianhang's righteous heart.

Now that he knew that although Mu Lianhang was beaten, the other party did not get any benefits, Jiang Xihe felt much relieved.

Mu Huairen, with a livid face, shouted, "How many times have I told you not to cause trouble? When will you save me some trouble? Do you want your father to lose his official position?"

Mrs. Mu was stunned, and the joy she felt just now disappeared from her heart. She became panicked and uneasy. She asked nervously, "Master, what should I do?"

Mu Huairen frowned and said helplessly, "Now that the matter is over, I'm going to apologize. Even if I kneel down and beg the Fang family, I still have to keep this position. Mrs. Qi can do whatever she wants."

Mrs. Mu looked embarrassed and tightened her arms around Mu Lianhang.

Seeing this, Jiang Xihe stood up and said, "Master Mu, don't blame me for being meddlesome. Since it is inconvenient for you and your wife to come forward, as Lian Hang's aunt, I can meet the Fang family."

Mu Huairen was stunned. He really didn't want to come forward to deal with Mrs. Fang, "This..." but he felt bad in his heart. In addition, he was not worried about Jiang Xihe's attitude. If she messed up, he would be the one in trouble. .

Jiang Xihe understood what he was thinking and explained, "Master Mu, don't feel burdened. I won't make trouble. I have experience in dealing with official wives. Besides, even if Lian Hang is wrong in this matter, he is nothing compared to the Fang brothers." Meet the great witch."

Mrs. Mu thanked him repeatedly. She preferred Jiang Xihe to come forward than the master. After all, there was no way that Mr. Mu could do anything about kneeling.

Mrs. Mu suggested, "Master, let's trust Xiaohe for once. You just said that no one can compete with Miss Xiaohe in court. Xiaohe, let me thank you first."

Jiang Xihe smiled lightly, confident and generous, "I like Lian Hang, and I have been troublesome to you in Tongshan Mansion these days. I will take care of this little thing."

Mu Lianhang walked up to Jiang Xihe in surprise and excitement and asked in a low voice, "Will you hit me?"

Jiang Xihe couldn't help laughing, "Why did I hit you?"

Mu Lianhang looked at Master Mu with his eyes, and Jiang Xihe confirmed, "You will tell me more about what happened later. I believe that as long as you do the right thing, neither Master Mu nor his wife will beat you."

At this point, Mu Huairen had to express his position, "Dad won't take action, you can just go with Aunt Jiang."

Pei Zhizhao stood up slowly, "I will go with Miss Jiang. Mrs. Fang doesn't know me, so I can act according to the situation."

Jiang Xihe smiled, feeling very comfortable in her heart. With Pei Zhizhao present, she was more confident in seeking justice for Lian Hang.

At the same time, she knew that Pei Zhizhao didn't trust her, and the warmth of being cared for always lingered in her heart.

Just like on a rainy day, no matter how hard it rains, you will not feel cold when walking in the rain. This is how Pei Zhizhao made her feel.
