Next to the county government office, there is a porridge shop.

Father Zheng and Zheng Gentian kept looking at the road.

It wasn't until a carriage appeared that they stood up in surprise and shouted: "Lao San, we are here!"

They came back sooner than they thought, but they didn't know if anyone had been invited.

Zheng Laosan saw the two people waving, parked the carriage, and walked over with a sad look on his face.

Seeing his expression, Father Zheng thought to himself, "What's wrong? Didn't you invite Magistrate Huang?"

Zheng Laosan nodded and said: "It was not the right time to go, it was just a step too late. Magistrate Huang left Wanzhou in the morning and went on a mission to who knows where."

The departure was very coincidental, just like choosing the right time. I hope he overthinks it.

"Since we haven't invited Magistrate Huang, then our Jinbao really needs to take action. The county magistrate said that the trial will be held tomorrow. It's probably useless to go there now. Let's find a place to stay first!" Zheng Gentian said .

"Let's go, Jin Bao was dozing off just now, let's find an inn to rest for a while." Father Zheng glanced at Jin Bao distressedly, hugged her and stood up.

Jin Bao was indeed a little sleepy, and she lay obediently on his shoulder. His sleepy appearance looked even more endearing.

After finding the inn, Father Zheng gently put Jinbao on the bed, closed the door and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Zheng Gentian and Zheng Laosan were sitting at the table waiting for him.

After he sat down, Zheng Laosan said: "I feel that Mr. Huang was deliberately pushed away. Mrs. Huang said that he left Wanzhou only after receiving a sudden order."

Just as something happened to their wine, Magistrate Huang was assigned to work elsewhere. How could there be such a coincidence in the world.

There was a moment of silence.

"In my opinion, let's go out separately. You are responsible for watching over Jinbao here, while Lao San and I go to those three merchants to learn more about the situation. It is best to get them to retract their confessions." Zheng Gentian suddenly said.

The only person they can count on now is themselves, so they must be stable.

"Do you think they will take the initiative to reveal something? People like that will either give them enough benefits or directly threaten them, otherwise they will never hear a word of truth from them." Father Zheng shook his head and said.

Since those three people dared to be witnesses in the Yamen, they must have received some benefits. It would be difficult for them to change their stories.

"We can't just stay here and do nothing. At least there is a glimmer of hope if we try."

"I do have an idea." Zheng Laosan thought about it and said.

"What's your idea? Tell me quickly!" Father Zheng urged.

Zheng Laosan rubbed the back of his head and said, "Although my idea is a bit stupid and violent, it should have some effect."

"You brat, if you have something to say, just say it. What are you talking about? Are you trying to scare me to death?" Father Zheng resisted the urge to shoot him.

"The idea is to let Xiao Xiaobai take action and let them see the wolves directly." Zheng Laosan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly.

If the soft ones don't work, then the hard ones will do it. Anyway, they are the ones who do bad things first.

"You mean to scare them directly?"

"Yes, no one is afraid of death."

"Is this possible? What if they go to the Yamen to sue us again if we don't ask questions?" Father Zheng frowned, somewhat disapproving of this idea.

This idea is simple and crude, but it also has many hidden dangers.

"I think we can give it a try. With Xiao Xiaobai and Youyou here, they may not dare to talk nonsense in the yamen. If you are greedy for money, you must have a life." Zheng Gentian picked up the tea and drank it all.

Sometimes coercion is more reliable than baiting, otherwise it may not work if you invest all the money you earn.

"Then let's try with those three people first, and then go to the county magistrate tomorrow with the princess order."

Father Zheng nodded and agreed to this method. Although it was a bit of a loss, as long as there was a gain, it would be fine.

"Then what are we going to do? Where to tie them?" Zheng Laosan asked in a low voice.

"You go and find out where those three people live first, and then wait until Jin Bao wakes up and let Xiao Bai out."

"I'll go with the third child. It'll be faster." Zheng Gentian said.

"Okay, without further ado, let's go right now."

After saying that, Zheng Laosan and Zheng Gentian went out together.

Father Zheng was afraid that Jinbao would be hungry after he woke up, so he asked the waiter to buy some pastries and then went upstairs with them.

Looking at the rosy little face of his good granddaughter, his heart suddenly calmed down. He was not afraid of the shadow. Their family had never done anything bad and they would definitely be able to get through the difficulties.

"Grandpa~"

Jin Bao opened her eyes and saw Father Zheng sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her and shouting sweetly.

"Hey, my dear, you're awake. Are you hungry? Get up and have some pastries." When Father Zheng saw his granddaughter waking up, he quickly opened the paper package on the table and brought it to Jin Bao.

"Grandpa, let's eat together!" Jinbao picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to his mouth. He waited for him to open his mouth and eat it before starting to eat by himself.

Father Zheng chewed the pastry in his mouth, and the sweet taste spread to the pit of his heart. His good granddaughter was so considerate.

Jinbao stopped after eating two pieces of pastry. Her father was still in prison, so nothing tasted good to her.

Father Zheng put away the remaining pastries and said, "My dear, you will let Xiaobai out later. Your uncle and the others are going to take him to do something."

"Aren't we going together?" Jin Bao asked curiously.

"You are still young and cannot participate in these things. Just let your uncle and the others go."

Father Zheng refused. After all, it was not a good thing. He didn't want his good granddaughter to see it.

Jinbao was a little unhappy, pouted and said: "Jinbao has grown up, so he is not young."

"Okay, our sweet baby has grown up and knows how to love grandpa." Father Zheng looked at his cute and cute granddaughter and rubbed the top of her head lovingly.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zheng Laosan opened the door and walked in.

"Dad, we found out that those three bastards were drinking together in a flower house not far away, and my uncle was watching over them."

"The three of them are staying together, and there must be domestic slaves accompanying them. Is it so easy to kidnap them?" Father Zheng asked worriedly.

It's not easy to tie up one person, let alone three.

"It's a bit difficult, but with Xiaobai's cooperation, it shouldn't be too difficult." Zheng Laosan said.

When Jin Bao heard their conversation, his big obsidian eyes lit up.

She reached into her pocket and dug twice, took out two small medicine bags, then raised her little hands high and shouted: "Uncle Third, are you going to do something bad? Use this."

Do bad things? It seems so?

Zheng Laosan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, a little afraid to look into his niece's eyes.

Why does he feel like he's been caught doing bad things?
