Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

Speculation is one thing, evidence is another.

And even if there is evidence, the safety of Xie Chengan and Jiang Ruiyan will be in danger.

Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

How can they, these petty officials, defeat them?

Tong Juzi and Wang Zhixian are a lesson learned from the past!

Therefore, although the truth has been guessed, Jiang Ruiyan did not dare to delve deeper into the case. Let Lin Xu slowly obtain the evidence.

On the other hand, Jiang Ruiyan solved the other two cases two months ago.

Two families argue over the child's case, and Fan Xizi, a farmer from Fanjia Village, is his biological father.

The wife of Hao Yuan of this county did give birth to a baby boy five years ago, but he died of illness when he was two years old.

Hao Yuanwai felt depressed, so he went to Zhuangzi to relax. When passing through Fanjia Village, they came across a two-year-old boy from the Fan family lying unattended in a field.

Hao Yuanwai was devastated by the loss of his old son, and by some strange mistake he reached out and took Fan Jiazi away.

Fan's family was busy in the fields at that time, and Fan Xizi's mother-in-law held the baby in her arms to deliver food to them. Seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to be lighthearted but put the baby on the ground.

Unexpectedly, when I came back after a while, the child was missing!

Fan's family could not be found, so they had to go to the county government to file a lawsuit. But there was no news until Fan Xizi met him by chance in the county town.

After Hao Yuanwai took Fan Jiazi away, he felt a little regretful. But the more he looked at the child, the more he looked like his old son, so he returned directly to the county town and asked the foreigner to raise him as his own.

Coincidentally, both children had birthmarks on their backs, and Hao Yuanwai felt at ease, thinking that this was his son. Later, the outer room gave birth to a son for him, who is also three years old this year.

When Xie Chengan was hearing the case, Jiang Ruiyan came up with a bad idea. Since both families claimed that the child was their own and had witnesses to prove it, they kept the child in the county government office for a few days.

However, the child was pampered and raised in the Hao family, and was always cared for by wet nurses, servants, and maids. Suddenly he arrived at the county government office and was looked after by the handymen arranged by Qing Niu. How could he bear it?

He fell ill within three days. According to the Medical Training Department, the child actually had smallpox!

This is a serious infectious disease!

The county government hurriedly passed it on to both parties, regardless of whose parentage it was, whoever wanted to take it back would get it back. Anyway, smallpox is basically hopeless.

Hao Yuanwai and Fan Xizi were shocked when they saw that herpes had appeared on the child's face.

If you take him back, you will bring a god of plague with you!

Hao Yuanwai declared on the spot that he did not want the child anymore and that the county government would deal with it. Whether it's isolation or whatever, he doesn't care.

Just kidding, if you get this disease, even your own children will be in serious trouble.

Fan Xizi was both happy and scared.

I'm happy that Hao Yuanwai won't argue with him anymore, but I'm afraid what will happen if I take him back? Smallpox is a contagious plague!

After struggling for a long time, Fan Xizi decided to take the child back. Even if he died, he would have to die in Fanjiacun. This is the son of the Fan family!

However, in their shock, the two of them forgot one thing.

Since the child had smallpox and the government officials were so scared that they stayed away, why did the magistrate sit upright and not be afraid?

This was naturally Jiang Ruiyan's bad idea.

In fact, the child did not have smallpox.

The herpes on his face was just caused by Qing Niu discovering that he was allergic to pollen, and Jiang Ruiyan colluding with the medical officer to delay medication.

Although Hao Yuanwai knew that the child had this minor problem, he received timely treatment in previous years and did not show such serious symptoms, so he was concealed for a while.

When the truth came to light, Hao Yuanwai was arrested on the spot despite his harsh words.

Xie Chengan sent people to Hao's house to capture the outsider and the midwife. After stern questioning, the two had no choice but to tell the truth.

They thought that Hao Yuanwai had confessed, and they were shocked by the fake smallpox scene, so naturally they couldn't bear it. With the testimony of the two people, Hao Yuanwai had no choice but to confess.

At that moment, Xie Chengan followed the law and awarded the child to Fan Xizi to take it back. Hao Yuan was also punished and his wealth was confiscated. And he also had to compensate the Fan family for their losses, three hundred taels of silver.

The case is settled.

But after the Fan family boy returned to the village, he was used to being taken care of in the past three years. How could he get used to village life? It is said that he cried all day long and still wanted to go back to Hao's house.

Although Yuan Hao's wealth was confiscated, he still had some farms, so he could make a comeback. However, he was angry, frightened and frightened by the case, and soon after he was released, he fell ill and died.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Hao family sold their shops, houses, and most of the servants and girls in the county, and moved to the country manor to live.

Since then, the Hao family has been absent from An Lan's membership.

The case of merchants losing bamboo fungus to water thieves was also solved immediately after the case of the Hao family's dispute over their son.

There are indeed water pirates, but they are accomplices of the boatman.

They are used to doing this kind of capitalless business. Specially pick out the goods when the goods are valuable, or when the merchants have few hands.

The merchants were first led to the river by boatmen. After leaving Anlan County, they were robbed by water thieves.

The merchants were thrown directly into the river. Even those who knew a little about water nature had a low chance of survival. Even if they survive, they often have no way to turn to them.

Because the accident happened outside Anlan County, the county government rarely accepted the case in the past, unless the merchants paid enough money privately.

Even if the case was accepted, the boatman would excuse it on the grounds that he had been robbed by water bandits. What can the county magistrate do? Both shipowners and merchants were victims.

If it's to suppress bandits, that's not something the county government can decide. Detectives sent out often cannot find traces of these water bandits and always return without success.

The case was solved only because the boatman claimed to have found the hijacked ship a few days later, which aroused Jiang Ruiyan's suspicion.

Although it is completely normal for water bandits to abandon their broken wooden boats after committing crimes. But it was a bit unusual for the two boatmen to find it back so quickly.

Lin Xu personally took people to search the ship and found that the goods were indeed missing. But I accidentally discovered that there was a hidden compartment on this small boat.

There wasn't much bamboo fungus inside, but there was a large cloth bag containing fifty taels of silver.

Lin Xu was careful and discovered that the silver had the mark of a private bank in Fucheng.

Boat households do not live a better life than ordinary farmers. On the contrary, because they do not farm, their families have no food left. Based on the situation of these two people, how could they have a huge sum of fifty taels of silver?

What's more, the mark on the silver is not the county, but the Fucheng bank.

Lin Xu immediately became suspicious and took the two boatmen back to the county government office with the bag of silver.

Originally, the boatman would have to be tortured for this matter, but unexpectedly, the merchant recognized that the bag containing the silver was the same bag he used to hold the bamboo fungus!

Come on, the physical evidence is available directly. When the two boatmen saw this, they confessed without waiting for torture. However, the two of them were also very adamant, claiming that they were working for Mei County Cheng.

Xie Chengan invited the Prime Minister of Mei County to confront him, but he naturally denied everything. It is only said that the two boatmen trapped him.

This is indeed a one-sided statement made by the boatman, and they cannot provide any evidence. Xie Chengan had no choice but to sentence the boatman to death.

However, Jiang Ruiyan had another bad idea and asked Lin Xu to let the two boatmen escape on their way to the capital city.
