Chapter 46: Following the Order of the Crown Prince, Take Shen Ningning Into the Palace
Master Huang also had doubts in his heart.
Because Shen Ningning suddenly came to see him and said that the book boy shouted, and he witnessed it with his own eyes.
He carefully recalled whether the statue had been lost at that time.
But he couldn't remember it.
He only remembered that after returning to the room, he found that the scripture handed over by Lu Shaoyuan was wrong, so he called him to remind him.
Therefore, Master Huang could only be sure that when he woke up this morning, the statue of the Rain Goddess was still there.
But later, he was not sure.
Seeing that Master Huang didn't speak, Lan Qian stepped forward.
"Master, Shen Ningning may have seen that the statue was valuable and wanted to steal it."
"Why do you insist that it was me?" Shen Ningning refuted vigorously.
Lan Qian stared at her: "Just because you come from a humble background, your family is poor!"
"You are obviously an orphan from Xiangyun Village in the mountains. You have the opportunity to study in our private school because you accidentally saved the county magistrate."
"You are usually generous and deliberately create the appearance of having a good family background. Are you afraid that everyone will know your real family background?"
"The things you took must be the silver given to you by the county magistrate!"
"Shen Ningning, you are so shameless. You spend other people's relief money and pretend to be a rich lady in the private school!"
Shen Ningning clenched her fists, and her watery eyes were black with anger.
"I never said that I came from a rich family. I gave everyone food because my grandma taught me to share!"
All the classmates looked at Shen Ningning in shock.
Indeed, she never said that she had a good family background, nor did she show off her parents.
It was because everyone had a preconceived notion that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official because she looked fair and clean and always brought a bunch of delicious food.
Lan Qian sneered: "Then do you dare to admit that you are an orphan, and you can only live in the mountains with your grandmother."
Lu Shaoyuan shouted angrily: "Have you said enough? Even if these are true, she can't steal things."
Lan Qian didn't want to hear Lu Shaoyuan speak for Shen Ningning.
"Brother Shaoyuan, how much do you know about her? No matter what, the statue of the Rain Goddess was found in her room!"
Shen Ningning was about to speak, but Master Huang stopped her sternly: "Enough! No more!"
He looked at Shen Ningning and Lan Qian with a heavy look.
"Since the statue of the Rain God has been found, let someone send it to the county magistrate first, so as not to miss the auspicious time when the emperor and his men open the altar to pray for rain."
However, the next second, a book boy ran over in a panic.
"Master, it's bad, there are many constables at the door!"
A hint of pride flashed across Lan Qian's eyes.
She looked at Shen Ningning: "I just heard that the rain god statue was lost, so I asked my maid to report it to the authorities."
"This matter is serious, Master, just hand Shen Ningning over to the government for a thorough investigation!"
This time, even if Master Huang wanted to protect Shen Ningning, she would not give her a chance!
The county magistrate Fu Yuansong is not here, and now the entire Guangyang County is still under the control of her father Lan Zhubu?
The last time Lan Qian went home, she asked her mother to tell her father that she was bullied in the private school!
Her mother asked her father to make the decision for her, and Shen Ningning would definitely suffer!
The leader was not Captain Wang, but a man who looked fierce and evil.
"Master Huang, we will take this student away first, and send her back after a thorough investigation."
After he said that, a constable came forward and held Shen Ningning's hands on the left and right.
"Master!" Shen Ningning cried out in a hurry: "I was wronged!"
Master Huang frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but said to the head of the police: "There may be other misunderstandings in this matter."
"I suddenly remembered that I accidentally gave the statue of the Rain Goddess to Shen Xuezi, asking her to appreciate and keep it, but I forgot to take it back. It was indeed my fault."
"You don't have to take her away. I will definitely teach her well in private."
Shen Ningning was surprised. She didn't expect Master Huang to give such a reason to save her.
But the evil head of the police didn't appreciate it.
"Nonsense! It's about praying for rain. How can you, a little master, explain it clearly in a few words?"
"We must take the person back for interrogation and take her away!"
The constables dragged Shen Ningning forward.
The little guy struggled: "Let me go!"
Lu Shaoyuan directly blocked the door: "Don't take her away!"
Lan Qian directly pulled Lu Shaoyuan hard and pulled him aside.
"Take the suspect away!" she shouted.
Shen Ningning was weak and could not fight at all, so she was taken away by force.
Lu Shaoyuan could not break free from Lan Qian, so in desperation, he could only choose to kick her in the heart.
"Get out of the way!"
"Ouch!" Lan Qian was kicked to the side by him and hit the table directly.
Lu Shaoyuan immediately ran out, but saw the struggling Shen Ningning being carried directly onto the fast horse.
The constables rushed to the government office.
Lu Shaoyuan gritted his teeth and thought quickly.
He was alone and weak, and it was impossible for him to enter the government office to rob people.
At this time, his servant who was guarding the door of the private school hurried over: "Master, what happened?"
Lu Shaoyuan immediately ordered: "Pull the carriage and go to Beijing, I will go to find my grandfather!"
His carriage left the private school at a high speed.
After a while, Chen Shaobei came with a team of soldiers riding fast horses.
He finally asked where Shen Ningning was studying.
Since Mo Lingwei told him, he has been delayed until now.
In the morning, he went directly to Xiangyun Village. The villagers only knew that she went to the city to study, but they didn't know which private school she went to.
However, there were four counties around her. Fortunately, Chen Shaobei found out that she was arranged to study by Fu Yuansong, the magistrate of Guangyang County.
So he rode directly to Guangyang County.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the students in the private school, all of whom looked frightened.
Master Huang rushed out the door and saw the place where Shen Ningning was taken away, and shouted "Oh no!"
He immediately called the bookboy: "Go to the city quickly and give a message to the county magistrate!"
Chen Shaobei saw them in a hurry and didn't know what was going on.
But he still stepped forward and raised his hand, asking politely: "Excuse me, is there a little girl named Shen and Ningning in the private school?"
Master Huang came back to his senses and looked at him uneasily: "What do you want to do with her?"
Chen Shaobei explained in a solemn voice: "On the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince, I am taking Miss Shen into the palace for an audience."
Prince! ?
Everyone in the private school was shocked.
Master Huang's lips trembled: "The government just took her away by force."
Chen Shaobei's eyes changed and became extremely sharp: "The government? Why did you take her away?"
Master Huang hurriedly explained the matter clearly.
Chen Shaobei frowned severely.
Did Shen Ningning offend someone?
He didn't care to think about it, he cupped his hands and said thank you, and immediately got on his horse.
He also ordered a soldier: "Go to the Temple of Heaven immediately to find His Highness the Prince and inform him of the matter."
And at this time.
Shen Ningning was caught by the government and put directly into a dark, dirty and smelly cell.
"Bang"——
The cell door was locked.
Shen Ningning's moist eyes stared closely at the jailer.
I saw him flicking the key: "Little girl, don't say that you are wronged. I see you are beautiful. To tell you the truth, you can never get out after you get in here. Who told you to offend others?"
