Jiang Muxia drove the carriage straight to the county government office. On the way, she felt that Jiang Qianshan was too noisy, so she picked up a piece of rag from the roadside and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of his fierce look.

When she arrived at the county government office, she threw the reins to the gatekeeper, pulled Jiang Qianshan out of the carriage and dragged him towards the government office.

Tang Zhongbai was discussing the night watch arrangements for the New Year holiday with the officers in the backyard when Jiang Muxia pushed the door open and threw him in front of them.

"Who is responsible for the murder? This man killed his wife. The scene is at the west end of Xigang Village. Fuzi is watching there. You should send someone to check the body." After saying that, she walked to Tang Zhongbai and stood beside him, waiting for his instructions.

When Li Changli saw the man lying on the ground, he was very surprised. He pointed at him and asked, "Isn't he your uncle's son? How could it be?"

Jiang Muxia nodded heavily with a heavy expression to indicate that he was right. He was the man whose leg was broken by Fuzi in her yard half a year ago.

Tang Zhongbai was also surprised. His impression of Jiang Qianshan was always that he was a cowardly and incompetent person. He actually had the potential to kill people. He was really bold.

"What's going on?" Tang Zhongbai looked at her and asked.

Jiang Muxia recounted in detail what happened when she was leaving Xigang Village in the morning, which made Hu Daxin so angry that he kicked him and cursed: "You ignorant beast, you even have the heart to kill your first wife, you are such a good man."

Jiang Qianshan was kicked so hard that he shrank and cried loudly. He knew that he had no way out. He knew that killing someone means paying with one's life. Killing his wife was an even greater crime. His only way out was beheading, but he didn't want to die.

He suddenly came to his senses, crawled up and crawled to Tang Zhongbai's feet, hugged his feet, and cried, "I know I was wrong, brother-in-law, please save me, I didn't mean it. An Shi deliberately angered me, and I stabbed her with a pair of scissors in a moment of confusion. I didn't expect that she didn't know how to hide. For my sister's sake, please save my life, I will repay you like a cow and a horse."

Tang Si stepped forward and grabbed him and threw him aside, "You bastard, even if the king of heaven comes, you can't escape death. Zhou Shen, you are in charge of the prison, why don't you take the person away."

Zhou Shen stood there without moving, but his eyes glanced at Jiang Muxia, as if waiting for her to speak.

Jiang Muxia felt his temptation, rolled her eyes at him, and said coldly: "Why are you looking at me? Am I your superior? You don't need to consider my face and deal with it as you want."

Jiang Qianshan knew that this was his last chance. Jiang Muxia would never come to see him in prison. Only by grabbing her life-saving straw here would he have a chance of survival.

He used his hands and feet to get up from the ground. Just as he was about to rush towards Jiang Muxia, Hu Daxin kicked him from behind and knocked him to the ground.

"You don't know how to live or die. You are here and still want to harm Miss Jiang. If you dare to have evil thoughts again, I will break your claws."

Zhou Shen ordered his men to take him away. He struggled desperately, and his screams echoed throughout the county government office. The officers were not going to treat him well, as he was a murderer who had confessed his crime himself. They beat and dragged him away.

She had completed her mission and could retire, but knowing that Tang Zhongbai was busy with official duties, she went home alone.

Jiang Qianshan’s affairs had nothing to do with her. He was just unlucky and she caught him at the wrong moment. He deserved it.

Zhou Huaihua had three sons. One was far away in the county and almost cut off all ties with them. One died of a heart disease on New Year's Eve last year. Now this one actually killed his first wife. His only fate was death. An's family and Zhou Huaihua's family were from the same village. Their marriage was arranged by Zhou Huaihua's eldest sister-in-law. With something like this, the two families would probably fight each other. Instead of being relatives, they became enemies.

But what does this have to do with Jiang Muxia? She was too kind that she didn't go over to see the joke. Jiang Lingye was too smart and partial to his two younger sons. His eldest son, whom he entrusted with important tasks, made him stumble one after another. After this incident, he must be seriously injured.

The carriage turned a corner into the alley, and before reaching the house, we heard crying and shouting in the yard.

It was Zhou Huaihua. She ran so fast and came home to ask Jiang Yuzhou for mercy.

Humph, he killed someone and wanted to get away with it. He really thought that the county government was opened for him.

She turned the carriage around, tied it to the tree in front of the Tang family's gate, found Madam Jiang, gave her a few words, and then drove the carriage to the north of the city.

After she left, Nanny Jiang locked the door and came to the Jiang family, closed the door, and walked to the backyard calmly.

The Feng family moved to the southeast of the city after the Double Ninth Festival. After the Qingfeng Courtyard was built, Fuzi's mother followed Chu Ruo and others to live in the village. Jiang Mutao often lived in the Li family. Now there are only four people living in the Jiang family.

Lu Chaoyun was sorting New Year's goods in the warehouse in the backyard when he heard the door slam, followed by bursts of crying and roaring.

She recognized it was Zhou Huaihua from the crying sound. She was crying and shouting on New Year's Day, adding a layer of gray color to the joyous festival, which was somewhat - unlucky.

She pushed Jiang Yuzhou out to send him away. Unexpectedly, he came back in and called her the moment he left.

She could tell from Jiang Yuzhou's expression that something serious must have happened. Sure enough, Jiang Yuzhou told her directly, "Jiang Qianshan has killed someone, and the man was sent to the county government office by my daughter. My sister-in-law came to ask us to ask County Magistrate Tang to intercede for him."

Lu Chaoyun was slightly surprised, then said, "What are you dreaming about? The county magistrate is not surnamed Tang, so it's useless to ask anyone. The old man is getting more and more confused as he gets older. Jiang Qianshan dared to kill people. I think it was all the result of his connivance. Go and make them all leave. We can't help you with this."

Jiang Yuzhou looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before he said, "My sister-in-law is kneeling in the yard. She said she would kneel and die here if I don't help her."

"What?" Lu Chaoyun was so angry that he slammed the object in his hand on the table and cursed: "There is no law. If you are soft, you will be hard. I, Lu Chaoyun, am a hard-headed person who will not give in to soft or hard tactics."

She strode into the yard, and just as Jiang Yuzhou had said, Zhou Huaihua was kneeling in the yard in thin clothes, crying and snotting. When she saw her come out, her head hit the blue brick floor with a loud bang.

"Third brother and sister-in-law, I was a bastard before, I apologize to you. Now your eldest nephew is in trouble, you can't just stand by and watch him die. I beg you, please help me to speak a few good words for my son to Magistrate Tang, and save his life. I only have this one son, we are a family, you can't just let him go and ignore him."

Lu Chaoyun was already angry, and when she heard her say that she only had one son, the rage in her heart swept over her like a mountain torrent and tsunami.

"You can say that you only have one son. You are hopeless. Even gods cannot help you. Go away. Don't cause trouble during the New Year." Lu Chaoyun ordered him to leave with a cold face.

How could Zhou Huaihua give up the only chance to save her son? She knelt on the ground and refused to move. Jiang Yuzhou was unable to drag her away, so Lu Chaoyun dragged her as she struggled desperately. It took all his strength to drag her about ten feet away before he was exhausted and panting.

Fortunately, Nanny Jiang came in time to rescue her.

"Don't bother. Tang Si just came back and told me that your son tried to beat up a police officer and escape. In the chaos, an officer slashed his neck with a knife. He is now dead."

"What? My son!" Zhou Huaihua screamed and fainted.
