The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

At this moment, the county magistrate has not rested yet, waiting for the news from the investigation of the yamen runners he sent out. Although he cannot be said to be a very good official, he is trying his best to let the people in the county live a good life.

When the bailiff came back, he went to the backyard to report to the county magistrate the news they had just found out.

After a while, the people who were resting and waiting outside saw the county magistrate coming out with the three yamen runners.

"Little girl, we meet again."

Seeing the malnourished little guy, the county magistrate couldn't help but greet him.

Lan Ning was in no mood to greet the county magistrate, so he just gave him a pleading look and said:

"Sir, please find my uncle."

A hint of pity showed on the county magistrate's serious face.

This little girl is really pitiful. In just a few days, she has come to the county government office three times. The first time she was kidnapped, the second time she was beaten into coma, and the third time was because her uncle went missing.

I don't know if it's because she feels sorry for those people who deliberately bully her, or if she has a strong fate and is therefore able to suppress others and herself. No matter which type of person she is, there are not many opportunities for her to interact with me anyway.

"We are going to a place now, you just wait for us here."

That place was too bloody and dirty, and the little guy would definitely be scared if he went in. But after he said that, the little guy not only didn't want to wait for them here, but also wanted to go with them.

The little girl had a determined look on her face, and the magistrate always felt that she had a maturity that was not suitable for her age.

The county magistrate shook his head. This must be his hallucination. He must have been too tired and had not rested well during this period.

Lan Ning's tough attitude left the county magistrate helpless. He was afraid that she would cry if he refused her again, so he agreed to her suggestion to follow them to the dungeon.

A yamen runner who had just returned with them felt that the little girl was really pitiful, so he took the initiative to pick her up.

"Thank you uncle."

Lan Ning still thanked him politely.

The dungeon was very dark and damp. After walking through the narrow and dark stairs, a pungent stench wafted over.

Lan Ning quickly covered his nose, and then tears flowed from his eyes involuntarily. Why was this smell so irritating to his eyes?

She quickly used her other hand to wipe her tears, and other people thought she was crying out of fear.

So the yamen runner who was holding her freed one hand to considerately cover her eyes.

Lanning??

What was this for? Was there something that she couldn't see? She didn't dare to ask, so she could only let her eyes be blocked.

It felt like the stairs were extending endlessly downwards. They walked for a long time before reaching the flat road. When they finished walking up the stairs, the stench was even stronger and more stinging than onions.

Lan Ning looked at other people through the gap in the dim candlelight. No one was hurt. Could it be that they didn't feel anything or was it because his body was small that he felt more sensitive?

The prisoners in the dungeon, who were like zombies, all looked over at the man coming down.

It turned out to be the county magistrate. All the people were resurrected on the spot, lying on the prison door begging for mercy, begging the county magistrate to release them.

The county magistrate ignored these calls one by one, and walked towards a cell with a clear goal.

There were five people imprisoned inside, all of them with dishevelled hair and dirty faces. Like those people, they were also leaning against the prison door and begging.

Everyone's eyes were on the county magistrate. Two of them didn't even notice that among the visitors were two familiar faces, Xiao Wu and Lan Ning.

"Sir, sir, we know we are wrong. Please let us go. If you let us go, we will never dare to do it again."

"Sir, I will definitely reform myself when I get out. I will never do this again. Please let us go."

Cries and pleas for mercy continued to ring out in the dungeon. No one looked at them, but instead lowered their heads to ask Xiao Wu beside them, asking him to identify the two people who were trying to frame them in their restaurant.

The dungeon was too dark, and these people were all unkempt, so it took a lot of effort to recognize the people they were looking for.

Xiao Wu looked at the five people in front of him without blinking. After a long while, his eyes lit up, he found them.

"Mr. County Magistrate, it's these two."

Everyone looked at the two men in the direction that Xiaowu's finger pointed, even the other three people who were locked up with them looked at them.

[Are you going to let them out? No, we can't let them out. I must seize this opportunity.]

At this moment, a voice came into Lan Ning's ears.

What does this guy want to do? He doesn't want to do something in front of the county magistrate and the officials.

Lan Ning took her hand away from her eyes, and the people in the prison appeared in front of her. One of them stopped shouting, but slowly moved towards the tall black man and the short white man. Her heart skipped a beat. This man really wanted to do something dirty. In a flash, just when he was about to touch the two of them, Lan Ning suddenly spoke.

"Sir, they are the ones who want to frame my uncle. You must not let them go."

As soon as these words came out, the other three people had no idea what was going on. It turned out that their good days had come and it was time to suffer.

The man who wanted to do something dirty stopped immediately and didn't think about doing anything to the tall black man and the thin white man.

Now that the two men had identified themselves, the officers quickly opened the door and pulled them out. Then the cell door was locked again, and they were dragged to the interrogation room regardless of their struggles and resistance.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, Lan Ning was not allowed to go in. It was too cruel inside and he was afraid that the young child would be traumatized.

Lan Ning did not force her. If they didn't want her to go in, then that was it. She had already recognized the person and she didn't know how to interrogate him. If she went in, she would just watch and be scared.

Xiao Wu followed him in, but within two minutes he saw him running out with his hand covering his mouth and his face pale.

Lan Ning ran up with a worried look on his face and asked what happened to Xiaowu.

Xiaowu didn't answer her, but lay in the corner and retched for a while, but nothing came out.

After a while, when the nausea had subsided, he stood up and looked to the other side, unwilling to even move his eyes away.

"Brother Xiaowu, what's wrong with you?"

His behavior was too weird. Lan Ning was really curious about what happened inside. Could it be that he cut human flesh with a knife like in the novels? She shuddered involuntarily when she thought of this. She was scared just thinking about it.

"Sister Lan, just stay here with me and don't think about going in, otherwise you will have nightmares at night."

Xiaowu refused to say anything more after this. Seeing his disgusting and frightened look, he might be the one who would have nightmares at night.

The two had not been outside for a while when a scream was heard from inside. The scream was so miserable that Lan Ning's mind involuntarily replayed the image of human flesh being cut by a knife.

You must do good things and not bad things, work hard to make money, and make a lot of money to bribe those people so that there is no chance for yourself and your family to be framed.
