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

Jiang Muxia stood at the door of Aunt Jun's house, her steps heavy and her heart uneasy. She was worried about Jiang Hongxin, afraid that she would do something to hurt her family.

The whole family was immersed in the joy of her return, and her rash running back to tell everyone some nonsense was more hurtful than Jiang Hongxin's sudden departure from home and her whereabouts unknown.

She hesitated at the door, not daring to go back nor to leave immediately.

The last compromise they thought of was to run to the other courtyard and instruct Zhou Yue to always keep an eye on the situation at their home. If anything unusual happened, they should immediately capture Jiang Hongxin and send her to Xu Da in the county.

It was already 3 p.m. when Jiang Muxia returned to the county. Tang Zhongbai had just taken over Suanzao County, and there were many official matters waiting for him to handle, so she went straight to the yamen.

The plague was getting worse day by day, and the people could not wait any longer, so they had to go to Wuquan Villa immediately to ask for help.

She ran into Lu Xinning and Tang Bo'an, whom she hadn't seen for many days, coming out of the government office. She bowed to Tang Bo'an and greeted Lu Xinning, shouting happily, "Cousin, why are you back?"

"I'm escorting the herbs. How are you at home?"

"Okay. Everything is fine. Grandma and my uncle and aunt are living in my house."

"Well, I'll go check on them now. Brother Tang, why don't you come with me?"

Tang Boan lived in the Tang family. Tang and Jiang lived next to each other, so they naturally had to travel together. But Lu Xinning had other ideas. He wanted to take Tang Boan to meet his aunt's family.

After the three of them said goodbye, Jiang Muxia went straight to the police station.

Zhou Shen and a group of officers were sitting inside with serious faces, discussing something. When they saw her rushing in, they all shut up at once.

He forced a smile, "Miss Jiang is here, but County Magistrate Tang is not in the yamen."

She pulled a stool over and sat down. After glancing at everyone, she asked him, "Where did he go?"

"In prison. They are interrogating Feng Nian."

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say to Zhou Shen, the officers stood up and said goodbye.

"Brother Zhou, you are a smart man. Although you were brought up by Feng Nian, you have seen everything he did in Suanzao County. You can distinguish right from wrong and you can judge for yourself. We can be said to have known each other for a long time. As locals, we all hope that the people of our county can have a good official to protect them, so that their lives will get better and better. Look at this year, the summer wheat is almost harvested, and the autumn crops cannot be planted, and the government does not care. Isn't it forcing the people to death? Don't you feel sorry for the people? There are so many people from other counties in the north of the city who have been bewitched and come here. Most of them have died, and there are only a few left." Jiang Muxia stood up as she spoke. Zhou Shen in front of her looked more and more solemn, because what she said was real.

"Brother Zhou, as a man of blood, can you just sit back and do nothing?" Jiang Muxia appealed to his emotions and reason, hoping to convince him that after they left, this man could help Xu Da deal with the affairs in the county.

Zhou Shen is a smooth person. Although he seems to be chatting and laughing with them freely on the surface, he is also willing to help when they encounter problems.

But when it really comes to a matter of life and death, he is the one who runs the fastest.

He didn't want to take on any work, nor did he want to bring trouble upon himself. He just wanted to be a middleman, neither good nor bad, and get by in the yamen.

In fact, most of the thirty or forty runners in the county government were just idling away their time.

"I'm sorry Miss Jiang, I'm limited in my ability and can't help you." Zhou Shen avoided her gaze. He just wanted to take care of his own family, and he would stay as far away from others as possible.

"No, you can be of great help and do great things."

Zhou Shen was puzzled, and Jiang Muxia continued, "You have a high prestige among the police officers. You can organize them into several teams and maintain order in various places in the county. This is the greatest merit."

Zhou Shen's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. He could complete the task just by taking people for a walk on the street, and it would also be an explanation to Tang Zhongbai.

He nodded and said, "Thank you Miss Jiang for your reminder. I will discuss this with my brothers."

When Jiang Muxia arrived at the prison, the interrogation was coming to an end.

Feng Nian was hung on a wooden frame, his body covered in blood. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and he kept muttering, "I have confessed everything, why don't you let me go? I was convicted, and your Tang family is also responsible. Master, I know I was wrong. If you spare my life, I will repay your kindness."

Jiang Muxia was stunned by his words. She thought Feng Nian was a tough guy who would not confess. His best option was to kill himself to save others, so that he could show his integrity in front of Tang Zhongbai. Unexpectedly, after being beaten a few times, he told the whole story and sold out the people behind him.

This kind of coward must not be kept, as he changes his attitude according to the situation and is extremely harmful.

Tang Zhongbai ignored him and asked Li Changli, who was recording, "Did you remember everything he said?"

"Not a word."

"Okay. Tang Si and Hu Daxin will send him to the prison and put him under special guard."

"Tang San, bring your men with me to the Wei family to arrest people." After Tang Zhongbai gave the order, he looked at her and said softly, "Go home and wait for me first."

When Jiang Muxia heard that they were going to the Wei family to arrest someone, she became curious and wanted to go along.

"I'll go too. You could use an extra helper."

"it is good."

The Wei family seemed to have sensed the coming danger, and the door was closed tightly, with no one opening it.

"Oh no! They must have a tunnel in their house. Could they have all run away?" someone shouted.

Tang Zhongbai's face turned grim and he ordered his men to break down the door.

"Why are you smashing it? My door is so expensive, who will compensate you if it is broken?" Wei Dong opened the door with a sleepy look on his face and complained to Tang Zhongbai unhappily.

He opened the door wide, yawned again, and said with a smile: "Why are you panicking? With me here, he can't run away."

Wei Dong shouted towards the door, "Wei Lan, bring the person up."

Wei Dong's guards were escorting Wei Yuean and his butler, who were tied up. There were more than a dozen people in the group.

Wei Yuean cursed him in a foul language, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Wei Dong was as if he was spitting poison, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"What have I done that is so evil that you treat me like this? Lord Tang, please produce the evidence. Otherwise, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Tang Zhongbai waved his hand, and Li Changli confessed to Feng Nian that he had colluded with the Goddess of Tianji to traffic in human beings, and had repeatedly transported large quantities of gold, silver, food, and weapons to the foreign king Wu Jun in the south.

The account book found in Feng Nian's study and the token of handover placed in front of him made him shut up.

His crime was the same as treason, and since Wei Dong had made contributions in this incident, only the people from the Wei family involved in the case were arrested. This was the greatest tolerance the court could show to the Wei family.

Wei Yuean cursed Feng Nian in his heart but had nothing to say.

He glared at Wei Dong with gritted teeth, "You little bastard, the Wei family finally fell into your hands."

"Thank you, big brother, for being so greedy that I was able to get this opportunity. Don't worry, I will take good care of your family."

"You are just lucky, do you really think you are so capable?"

Wei Dong walked up to him with a fake smile and whispered in his ear: "Thanks to you two for humiliating me all those years ago. I was able to escape from home and meet my noble husband, Prince Yi. With his careful cultivation, I was able to fight against you. Wei Yuean, you are narrow-minded and cannot defeat me."

After that, he left with a big laugh, "Brother Tang, I'll treat you to a drink another day."

Wei Yuean was extremely shocked, he never thought that this cowardly half brother would end up in such a situation.

"Take the man away and execute him on a chosen day. As for the others, search the Wei family's house."
