The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

As soon as Feng Nian finished speaking, the bailiffs rushed forward and arrested Jiang Muxia. She did not resist, but smiled, as if everything was within her expectations.

Tang Zhongbai stepped forward to stop them, but was stopped by her look.

Li Changli walked forward to take Jiang Muxia away. When he passed by Tang Zhongbai, he paused and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will lock her up with Zhang Chuncao. Maybe Miss Jiang can get some key evidence."

Tang Zhongbai raised his eyes and looked at Li Changli. Li Changli winked at him and ordered his men to take Jiang Muxia and Zhang Chuncao to the prison.

After everyone left, the furious Li Jiyi rushed forward and punched Tang Zhongbai in the face.

He loudly questioned, "Didn't you promise me that you would protect her? Is this how you protect her?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Daxin rushed forward and hugged him.

Tang Zhongbai did not defend himself, and his expression became even gloomier.

"You wait here, I'm going to go find County Magistrate Feng." Tang Zhongbai was so furious that he wanted to tear Feng Nian to pieces.

This kind of corrupt official, who doesn't distinguish true from false, doesn't investigate the truth, and throws people into jail based on just a few words, what kind of official is he!

He rushed into the inner hall, and Li Jiyi quickly grabbed Xun Qing who was trying to sneak away.

"You want to run away after defiling someone's innocence for no reason?" He grabbed Xun Qing tightly, his nails digging into Xun Qing's flesh, causing him to grimace in pain.

Xun Qing broke free and said in defense: "What I said was all true. I didn't wrongly accuse her. It was Magistrate Feng who put her in jail, not me. You guys just bully honest people!"

He was still feeling aggrieved. Tang Si and Hu Daxin surrounded him, glaring at him.

At this moment, Xun Qing was like a lamb to be slaughtered. Weak and pitiful, if he hadn't just framed Jiang Muxia, one would have thought he was a person worthy of sympathy.

"Evil will be punished by evil, Xun Qing, don't think you have succeeded. We will find the real murderer and rescue them all. Let your master clean his neck and wait for it to be chopped off!" Tang Si said angrily.

Li Jiyi kicked him hard and yelled, "Get lost."

Tang San and his two companions brought Li Jiyi to the classroom, which was empty. The four of them sat down and waited for Tang Zhongbai to come out from the inner hall.

As expected, things did not go smoothly. Tang Zhongbai walked out from the back hall with a gloomy face.

Several people felt a pang in their hearts and thought that something was wrong. Jiang Muxia might have to stay in jail for a few days.

"Let's go back to the tavern."

After Tang Zhongbai greeted a few people, he walked out of the county government office without looking back.

Now only Xu Da and Wei Dong can help him. Zhang Chuncao's decisive confession of the crime puzzles them. He wants to find her family in Yangguan County and ask what happened in the past two days?

To their surprise, they arrived at the tavern and found that someone was already waiting for them.

"Tang Juecao, you're back. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Guan Tiexin met him with an anxious look on his face.

"Uncle Guan, what's wrong?"

"Chuncao's husband is here, and he's anxious to find Miss Jiang."

Tang Zhongbai frowned. He was looking for him, but he already showed up at his doorstep.

"Take me to him."

In the west wing at the backyard of the tavern, Zhang Chuncao's husband Zhao Daniu was feeling very uncomfortable.

He shuddered all over when he thought of what had happened the night before.

Tang Zhongbai pushed the door open, looked at the person in the room, and asked sternly, "Are you Zhao Daniu?"

"Who am I... ? I'm looking for Miss Jiang. Where is she...?" When he saw that the person who came in was an official in official uniform, his scalp went numb and he stammered.

"You won't be able to wait for her." Tang Zhongbai stared at him with a sullen face, "Thanks to your wife, she has been thrown into prison."

"What?" Zhao Daniu and Guan Tiexin cried out in shock.

Zhao Daniu asked in confusion: "What is going on? Chuncao has taken all the blame on herself, why are they arresting Miss Jiang?"

From what he said, he knew that Zhang Chuncao would definitely take all the blame on himself, but... ?

Tang Zhongbai asked: "Why did Zhang Chuncao admit to the crime of murder? Don't you know that if she admits the crime, she will give up her life?"

Zhao Daniu held his head, squatted on the ground, and started crying.

Tang Zhongbai said angrily: "If you are a man, stand up straight and explain the matter clearly. What's the point of crying?"

Guan Tiexin walked forward and pulled him up, also with a worried look on his face.

Two good people were put in jail all of a sudden. Both of them were people who were familiar with him and had helped him.

"Daniu, explain it clearly to Tang Juecao. Maybe he can find a way to rescue them."

Zhao Daniu finally stood up with the help of Guan Tiexin. He wiped away his tears and said, "The night before last, we were stopped by a masked man in black. He put a knife on the necks of the two children and threatened Chuncao and me, asking us to come out and take the blame for the Lin family's murder. Chuncao was very excited when she heard that all the people in the Lin family were dead. She regarded that man as a benefactor and promised her that she could come out and take the blame despite my dissuasion. The masked man told her the details of what happened and asked her to memorize it. Before leaving, he took Chuncao's hairpin and warned us that if we didn't do as he said or the news leaked out, he would kill my whole family."

"Later, we returned to our home in Yangguan County. I begged her in shock not to commit suicide and that we could report to the authorities. She refused to agree, but only begged me to take good care of my mother-in-law and the children in the future. She then locked herself in the room and waited for the Suanzao County officials to arrest her."

"I was worried, so I hid my mother-in-law and the child in a relative's house and came here to ask Miss Jiang for help. I didn't expect that she was also locked up. It's us who implicated Miss Jiang. I'm sorry..." Zhao Daniu covered his face and sobbed softly.

Tang Zhongbai sat down in front of the stove, frowning and thinking deeply, "Don't talk about useless things. Think carefully, what are the characteristics of the black-clothed man who threatens you? Height? Fat? Accent? Tell us everything you can think of."

Xu Da and Wei Dong heard the news and rushed to the west wing. As soon as they entered the room, they asked, "What happened? Why was the maid locked up?"

Tang Zhongbai looked up at him and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"Don't ask first, just listen to him." He pointed at Zhao Daniu who was sobbing opposite him.

Xu Da's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything and sat down next to him. There was silence in the room, and everyone was waiting for Zhao Daniu to speak.

Zhao Daniu wiped his face, adjusted his mood, thought carefully about the situation of that day, and slowly spoke about it.

"He's very tall, like..." He stood up, gestured, glanced at Tang Zhongbai, and pointed at him, "About the same height as him, but fatter. His voice is like he's in his forties, a little hoarse, with a southern accent."

"Oh, he used a police machete."

Tang Zhongbai, Xu Da and Wei Dong looked at each other. There were a lot of people like this at the ferry in Suanzao County.

Although the ferry was closed, there were still many southerners stranded in the county.

"Think about it again, what do his eyes look like? Big? Small? Triangular? Or phoenix eyes?" His face was covered, so it was impossible that his eyes were covered too!

Zhao Daniu squatted down again with his head in his hands. He knew that only by describing the masked man's features in detail could the murderer be found faster, and only then could Zhang Chuncao be rescued and their family be safe.

However, he was too scared at the time and did not dare to look at the masked man's face. He could not remember what his eyes looked like.

His head began to hurt, and the more nervous he became, the harder it was to remember.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't remember." Zhao Daniu squatted on the ground and began to sob again.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.

The only person who had seen the real murderer, the clues he gave were of no use at all.

Fuzi pushed the door open and walked in, "Master, Brother Yin is here and wants to see you and Tang Juecao."
