"This little girl." Mrs. Hu could no longer see her when she reached the door, but when Shen Miaozhu said she would go after her, she shook her head.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu was canonized by the royal family, and temples and shrines in various places are recorded in the Taoist records. As long as Xiao Zhuzi doesn't leave the house, he will be fine.
She said, "Miaozhu, you are different. You are almost at the age of getting married. You can't interact directly with these people."
Senior Sister Shen Miaozhu nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie, Xiao Zhuzi will find a way."
Hu looked at the sky. Dashuangdian was too close to the provincial capital. "Let's hope so. We must leave immediately after the matter is settled. We can't stay any longer, even if we have to stay overnight."
On this side, Shen Lingzhu followed the little beggar to the outside of the guesthouse. She didn't see Chen Xiaoge, but only saw a few yamen runners guarding the door.
In the cool shade at the foot of the wall, several people were anxiously waiting to be summoned. They were probably all related to Goudan.
Although my uncle and elder brother were standing in the yard, they had no shade at all, and their backs were soaked.
They just stood there motionless, and it was obvious that the person in the house did it on purpose.
She calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and rubbed her red eyes with her hands. While the little beggar was staring at her in amazement, she pinched her thighs hard until the tears flowed out, and with a "woohoo" she rushed to the guest house.
"Uncle, uncle, please go and see what happened to aunt." As soon as Shen Lingzhu arrived outside the door, he was stopped by two yamen runners with swords drawn.
But she didn't mean to go in. Seeing her uncle and brother hurriedly turning around and walking towards her, she quickly took the initiative to step back, but still did not forget to sing, recite, act and fight.
"The doctor said that my aunt is pregnant with twins and can't stand the heat or cold. What should we do now?"
"Third sister, don't cry, we will call a doctor right away." Shen Xianzhu ran faster than his father. He rushed out the door and pulled Shen Lingzhu away.
When the uncle didn't see him leave the courtyard, he lifted the curtain inside the house and asked anxiously, "How is he?"
"I'm sweating a lot." It was a hot day without air conditioning, so I was definitely sweating a lot. Shen Lingzhu herself was sweating too.
She turned around, grabbed her uncle and brother and walked away, not caring about the people who walked into the yard and watched them.
The man watched them leave and returned to the house. At this moment, there was no one else in the room except an official.
He bowed to the prosecutor behind the case and said, "Dong Weng, can you pass it on to the next one?"
The magistrate waved his hand: "No need, the matter is basically clear. The child named Goudan did commit the crime himself. The people of Dashuangdian also found the injured main culprit Wu Gou in Dawan.
Shen Huai has done a good thing. I only came here to warn him: as a commoner, don't meddle in other people's business. Leave now."
"It was also Mr. Dong who took into consideration the friendship between colleagues and took the initiative to take over this matter from Qingyuan County." Normally, the government office does not directly handle cases involving rural residents.
The magistrate laughed at himself and said: "Sir, please don't flatter me. No one in the prefecture wants to get involved with him.
Yesterday, Shi Wu deliberately went around the city to make himself known, clearly showing that he still harbored resentment.
No one wants to be the next one to be driven back home like him."
Then he said seriously, "He dared to openly recover the excessive stone that someone had intercepted and used, and even submitted a petition to the emperor. He is in a different place and cannot be compared with me.
However, this matter is within my power to handle. I will order those involved to accompany me back to the yamen for trial. I will definitely bring these evildoers to justice."
"Follow the order."
……
As soon as Shen Huai returned to the room and saw that his wife was fine, he realized that he had been tricked by his niece.
But he knew that the child was trying to help him out out of kindness, so he hurriedly told his son to stay and guard the place, and then went back to the guest house.
Shen Lingzhu chased after him and said, "Uncle, I am the person involved. It would be a waste of time if you go there and don't see me."
"I was in a hurry to come back just now, and it would be extremely rude of me not to apologize to the prefect. I must go there in person." Shen Huai understood that she had short legs and slowed down his pace.
Shen Lingzhu noticed this and slowed down. "I'll go with you so I can explain the whole story."
"Chen, Cao, the village head, and Goudan have all been questioned before, so there's no need for you to repeat yourself.
But you can wait for me outside the courtyard." Shen Huai was now afraid of his niece, who would give him a little scare from time to time, and his heart was still pounding.
Shen Lingzhu achieved his goal, his steps became lighter, and he didn't have the extra energy to look around.
Then she realized belatedly that the little beggar had disappeared again.
Not long after, the father and son arrived at the guest house, but the house was empty.
After asking the Taoist boy who was cleaning the place, I learned that the prosecutor had taken the leader of the beggars and ordered the Taoist priest, the village head, and the villagers to go to the government office together.
He also said that before Master Chen left, he had told them not to let them stay overnight.
Shen Lingzhu asked about the little beggar again, and the Taoist boy said that he would be taken to the government office as well.
On the way back to the wing room, she sighed, "We're short of another driver. Uncle, should we ask for another one?"
Since I've already paid, I definitely need a replacement.
Shen Huai was also worried that the remaining beggars who had not been found would cause trouble again along the way.
But unexpectedly, everything was calm until they stayed at the farmer's house before dark.
The next morning, we entered Shun County and did not encounter any unexpected incidents.
This time they were in their hometown and had a coachman to escort them. Shen Huai was not worried about the safety of his family, so he let Hu take his two nieces for a walk on the street.
Shen Lingzhu no longer had her initial curiosity about the ancient town. She sat obediently next to Hu, waiting to see which shop her aunt's dowry was.
But when the car stopped not far from a shop, she saw that the door was closed and sealed with an official seal. "Aunt, didn't you say that your dowry was not included in the list of items to be confiscated? Why is it sealed too?"
Mrs. Hu nodded and said, "According to the rules, the family property and the items on my dowry list will not be copied. Go to the next door and ask about the situation. If it is our fault, we will refund all the rent we owe."
"Or maybe it has nothing to do with us, it's just a coincidence." Senior Sister Shen Miaozhu is more optimistic. The worst that can happen is that the things are not stolen. Some people are still worried about not having shops and fields in the future.
Shen Lingzhu asked carefully, "How much money do we have left?"
“It’s quite a bit, but I haven’t spent much in the past two days.
Hiring a carriage from a car dealership costs less than one tael." Mrs. Hu wanted to help her niece manage the accounts, but Miaozhu refused.
She said, "Get off the car, and we'll go ask too."
Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister carefully helped their aunt get out of the car. They chose a cloth shop next door and were about to walk in when a voice from not far away called out, "Fifth Aunt."
The two sisters saw their aunt looking over there and saw a young woman with a slightly bulging belly walking towards them quickly, with an expression of surprise and delight.
Who is this person? Shen Lingzhu quickly asked her senior sister with her eyes, and the latter shook her head blankly, indicating that she should listen more and talk less.
But when the young woman was still a few steps away from them, a middle-aged woman came up from behind and grabbed her. She then gave Hu a fake smile and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, we have urgent matters. Let's talk about it another time."
Having said that, without giving the young woman a chance to say anything, he pulled the person away at an incredibly fast speed.
"Aunt, them?" Shen Lingzhu wanted to ask indirectly.
Hu said calmly, "Don't bother with unimportant people."
In this case, Shen Lingzhu did not ask any more questions, but Shen Miaozhu seemed to be thinking about something and looked in the direction where the two people left.
Not long after the three of them entered the cloth shop, they learned from the clerk the reason why their aunt's shop was closed.
