"Yuer, I want to discuss something with you. Can you go alone to deliver the goods?"

"Huh? Am I alone?"

Zhou Yue was a little surprised. Isn't this nothing serious?

Why did you let yourself go alone?

"Yes, I'm going to the county government office. Today the county magistrate is going to try the peddler, and I want to go and take a look."

Zhou Yue nodded to show her understanding, but immediately shook her head.

"But, but I don't dare to go alone. I'm a little scared. Besides, I followed you before. I don't need to contact them."

Zhou Yue was trembling in her heart, she was really scared.

Because she has felt a little inferior for a long time, she always subconsciously avoids others when interacting with them. Even if others have no ill intentions, she is still afraid.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. You behaved very well when you followed me to deliver the goods before. Others were praising you. Just do as they did."

"You have to believe in yourself. You have already developed your abilities. You can definitely accomplish it!"

With Bai Zhizhi's encouragement and the other party's determined eyes, Zhou Yue felt a little dazed.

She took a deep breath and agreed, but after she came to her senses, she felt a little regretful.

But in order not to cause trouble to Bai Zhizhi, she had no choice but to deliver the goods.

Seeing that she agreed, Bai Zhizhi thought she had comforted her, so she put the goods next to her and got up to go to the yamen.

At this time, the peddler had been forced to come forward inside the county government office. He knelt on the ground and cried out for justice.

"Sir, you must be more discerning! You can't pin something on me that I never did. It's all their fault. They've teamed up to frame me!"

He was shouting and crying, and people who didn't know him would think he had suffered a great injustice.

Unfortunately, the county magistrate didn't buy his trick. He had already understood what had happened and knew that it was indeed the peddler who kidnapped the child.

"Don't try to quibble. I already know the truth of the matter. Let me ask you, why did you kidnap the child?"

The peddler gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he had kidnapped the child. He even started to frame other people.

"Sir, those evidences are all fake. They fabricated them to deceive you. They just want to put all the blame on me. Sir, you can't be fooled by them!"

He still had some brains and did not directly say that the county magistrate had accepted the money and wanted to kill him, otherwise he would not be able to leave the county government office today.

"Are you saying that I don't have the ability to judge right from wrong? I'm telling you, if you don't tell me, I'll have you beaten with thirty sticks and see if you keep talking!"

For an adult, thirty beatings would leave him breathing more than breathing in. The peddler was frightened and tried to explain in a panic.

"I say, I say, I say everything."

"Yes, I kidnapped the child, but that was not my intention. I was only following orders. Otherwise, I would not have ended well. Sir, you have to make the decision for me!"

In order to evade punishment, he denied everything.

But what he said aroused the interest of the county magistrate.

"Why don't you tell me who ordered you to do this?"

The peddler was silent for a long time. He was very hesitant and kept weighing whether he should give Mr. Wang away.

If he doesn't confess, he will have no way out, but what if Mr. Wang is willing to save him?

No, Mr. Wang wouldn't do that. He is such a selfish person that he can't even protect himself. How could he be willing to help him?

After figuring this out, he gritted his teeth and spoke it out.

"It was Mr. Wang. He ordered me to kidnap the child. He also told me that he couldn't stand Bai Zhizhi and wanted her to experience the pain of losing her child."

"If he hadn't said that, how could I dare to do such a heinous thing?"

There are both true and false words in this.

The county magistrate naturally could not just listen to one person's words. He slammed the table and immediately ordered someone to bring Mr. Wang up.

When the peddler saw Mr. Wang, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Mr. Wang had been arrested and brought to the government office.

"Mr. Wang, you heard what the peddler just said. Do you have any excuse?"

The county magistrate's face was serious.
