Chapter 34 Mr. Du Dares to Threaten the County Magistrate?
Rich?
Shen Ningning blinked her round black eyes: "Aunt Liu, what do you mean?"
Sister-in-law Liu took her hand and walked into the village.
"Just now, several carriages with tall horses came to the village. They were brought by Captain Wang."
"Do you still remember that last time Laizi asked two people to kidnap you, but we sent them to the police?"
"You guessed right at that time. The government followed the investigation and found the child they kidnapped and sold a while ago! Among them, there is a wealthy family who specifically asked to thank you in person!"
As she said this, she and Shen Ningning had already entered the village.
The road was blocked by a crowd of villagers.
Four neat carriages were parked on the side.
Deng Fugui was the first to find Shen Ningning and shouted happily: "Little Wolf Sister is here!"
The next second, before Shen Ningning could react, she saw a noble lady with bright pearls and jade hurriedly walked up to her.
"Are you Miss Shen?" Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Shen Ningning nodded gently.
The noble lady grabbed her little hand and smiled: "You saved my son, I came here to thank you."
After that, the noble lady waved her hand.
Four maids came forward, holding a mahogany tray.
When the cloth cover was removed, a full of silver was placed on the tray.
Roughly estimated to be two hundred taels!
The villagers were surprised and envious!
Shen Ningning's watery eyes sparkled.
So much silver! I can buy jade!
She was about to stretch out her little hand, but silently held back.
The little guy shook his head: "Thank you, Madam, but it was the village chief and his men who caught the human traffickers."
The noble lady immediately raised her head and ordered boldly: "Give each person in Xiangyun Village a reward of five taels of silver!"
After that, she lowered her head and looked at the little guy with a smile: "I heard from Captain Wang that you have a miserable life. Take this silver. It's my little gift."
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Shen Ningning no longer refused.
The noble lady left the things and left.
She also asked Shen Ningning to visit the Meng family in the capital when she had time.
After the noble lady left, the villagers who received the reward surrounded Shen Ningning.
"Ningning! You are such a lucky star. We didn't do anything, but we got the reward. It's all your credit!"
"Ningning, do you know that the lady just now is the mistress of the Meng family in Beijing! The Meng family is a royal merchant, and their silk is very expensive!"
"You first won the favor of the county magistrate, and then you were favored by the Meng family. Ningning, you will really be rich in the future!"
Faced with so many compliments, Shen Ningning's round eyes sparkled with star-like luster, and her little face looked shy and well-behaved.
"It's all everyone's credit, not my own." She still refused to take credit.
The little girl turned her head and saw Wang the captain quietly looking at her, and hurriedly walked up.
She took out an ingot from the silver given by Mrs. Meng and handed it over.
"Uncle Captain, here you go."
Looking at her innocent and lovely face, Wang the captain felt a little ashamed.
He bowed and declined: "This is the credit of Miss Shen, I can't take it away."
"Last time... Mr. Du was there, I was just a small constable, there was a huge gap in strength, so I couldn't say much good things for Miss Shen, please don't blame me."
Shen Ningning's voice was soft and she didn't care: "Uncle constable, there is no need to explain, they wanted to use power to bully people, and finally ended up in jail, they deserved it!"
Captain Wang couldn't help but smile when he heard the cute tone of the little guy.
"Your aunt Wang Guihong has to be beaten with a stick every day, and the county magistrate has specifically explained that she must remember it."
"However, Mr. Du still sent people to visit again and again. After the county magistrate found out, he strictly ordered that Wang Guihong should not be visited in prison again."
Shen Ningning's cheeks were dyed bright red by the scorching sun.
She listened to what Captain Wang said, her eyes sparkling: "Uncle constable, you have worked hard."
The little guy didn't pity Aunt Qin at all.
A bad guy like her should suffer and know how painful it is to be beaten!
Who told her to bully grandma!
At the same time.
In Guangyang County, an uninvited guest came to the residence of County Magistrate Fu Yuansong.
The housekeeper led Du Yuanwai to the main hall to wait. After a while, County Magistrate Fu, who looked kind and majestic, appeared at the door.
"Mr. County Magistrate!" Du Yuanwai hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I came uninvited, which is really abrupt. Please don't be offended, Mr. County Magistrate."
Fu Yuansong waved and motioned him to sit down.
Then, he asked calmly: "Mr. Du suddenly visited, what's the matter?"
Du Yuanwai's servant immediately handed over a brocade box with both hands.
After opening it, there was a longevity statue made of pure gold.
Fu Yuansong immediately frowned.
Du Yuanwai smiled flatteringly: "County magistrate, to be honest, I came here this time for my wife's sister Wang Guihong."
"My wife knew that her sister was suffering and being beaten in prison every day. She couldn't eat and now she is sick."
"Although Wang Guihong did make a mistake, I couldn't bear to see my wife suffer because of worry, so I dared to come to the county magistrate to ask for mercy."
"Look, Wang Guihong has been imprisoned for half a month. Can you let her out in advance? I promise that she will never dare to bully others again."
Fu Yuansong sneered immediately, raised his hand, and pushed the brocade box back directly.
"If you are here to plead for this matter, you can give up this idea."
"Wang Guihong not only beat the child, but also threw the old mother of the Qin family into the mountain. Her heart is vicious and rare in the world!"
"Don't try to persuade me anymore. Since I know about this, I will handle it to the end! A month's punishment, not a day less."
When Du Yuanwai saw his firm attitude and the apologetic look on his face, he immediately turned cold.
Fu Yuansong, this stubborn old man, is really unreasonable!
He said with a fake smile: "County magistrate, you and I are both officials, we should help each other, why make it so ugly?"
"Today I have something to ask you, if you need it in the future, I will definitely help you."
"Besides, I have some friendship with Wei Shangshu. I didn't want to trouble him for such a small matter, so I came to negotiate with the county magistrate."
"If Wei Shangshu speaks, I'm afraid the county magistrate will feel embarrassed, don't you think?"
Fu Yuansong immediately looked at him: "Are you threatening me with Wei Shangshu?"
"No, no, I'm just telling the truth. Please don't make a big deal out of a small matter, it will be bad if you cause trouble." Du Yuanwai smiled.
Fu Yuansong's expression was tense: "I am an official in my official duties. No matter who comes today, I will give the same answer!"
"Mr. Du, we have nothing to say to each other. Please go back! Butler, see the guest off!"
With that, Fu Yuansong stood up and left with his robe lifted.
Mr. Du stared at Fu Yuansong's back, secretly hating him!
Fu Yuansong, this old man who is stubborn.
Since the other party is ignorant, don't blame him for being rude!
The next day.
The owner of the medicine shop came to pick up Shen Ningning as usual.
The little guy packed five catties of Aconitum for him, and the two went back to the medicine shop to settle the bill.
"Miss, we agreed earlier that one catty would cost one hundred taels, and I would add another twenty taels. Last time you gave me six catties of Aconitum, so here are seven hundred and twenty taels. Please count some and keep it well."
Shen Ningning opened the package, and there was dazzling white silver inside.
She raised her moist eyes and said, "Master, can you help me change this silver into banknotes?"
Today, she has other uses for this money!
