When the county magistrate heard this, he was really panicked and said hurriedly: "Girl, make atonement. I have ordered people to drive them out of the city before. There must be something wrong with my subordinates, so I disturbed the two of you. I will take them out now." Drive them out of the city and never let them in again."
The previous decision was to drive the other children and descendants of old thief Zhang out of the city, preventing them from having the opportunity to come back and cause trouble for Sun Changyuan.
This is already an act of kindness from Jiang Jiuniang. She did not investigate any of them for dirty information, otherwise no one would be able to leave with dignity.
And it is not that all their property is confiscated, at least the settlement expenses for other places are paid. But since they are so ungrateful, there is no need for Jiang Jiuniang to say anything more to them.
"Wait a minute, I didn't leave when I was asked to leave before, but now I want to leave, no way!"
"Jiang Jiuniang sneered and looked at the county magistrate. This magistrate didn't want to borrow money. Did Yin's hand test her? Very good. If you try, you will die!
The county magistrate was frightened by her look. He felt guilty and did not dare to look at her. He heard Jiang Jiuniang say: "Take all these people back to the Yamen to wait for interrogation. I want to see who is behind this." Who is it?"
She glanced at the county magistrate with a meaning, and she felt even more clear when she saw the guilty look on his face.
"Yes, I will handle it now."
The county magistrate turned to leave, Jiang Jiuniang said again: "Before I personally interrogate you, you'd better make sure that every Everyone is good, otherwise I will ask questions about you!"
The county magistrate's face instantly turned ugly, but Jiang Jiuniang didn't care, and the family left.
After walking a long way, Lu Baichuan said: "I will go to Fucheng and find someone to check on the county magistrate."
This was what was originally done before But thinking that he handled the old thief Zhang's matter well, I thought about giving him another chance. I didn't expect that he was ignorant and insisted on making trouble, so there was no need to think so much.
Jiang Jiuniang nodded. She did not reveal Lu Baichuan's identity when dealing with the old thief Zhang this time. She thought it would be solved smoothly, but she didn't expect that someone with real power would have to take action.
The token given by the Supreme Emperor can only be used around the capital. In a remote area like this, even if the other party knows that the token is real, they will not take it too seriously.
After returning home, Lu Baichuan left on horseback. Jiang Jiuniang was not idle and called Zhu Zhu to inquire about the situation.
Zhuzi told everything he knew. It was probably that the villagers did not often go to the sea to fish, unless they were people who made a living by fishing. Instead, they often went to the beach to pick up some clams and oysters. You can eat it by yourself, but everyone has grown tired of it since they were little. It’s not that people who are absolutely poor don’t eat it.I'll pick it up.
"Why don't everyone make a living by fishing? Living from the sea is a good way out."
Jiang Jiuniang was puzzled, so Zhu Zhu said: " Because there isn’t that much demand, and if you don’t have experience, you can’t feed your family if you buy some worthless ones. Some people think fish and shrimp have a strong smell and don’t like to eat them, so..."
He didn't tell the whole story, but Jiang Jiuniang already understood what he meant. After all, the demand was still not large, and the outside market was not completely opened, not even for a large family like the Sun family.
Firstly, some people can’t stand the smell of fish, and secondly, it’s difficult to transport and pull it out, and sales can’t increase. That’s why the local people’s lives are so tight.
Jiang Jiunang said: "Okay, I understand."
She already had specific ideas in her mind, but she didn't want to say anything until the matter was implemented. It saves you the joy if something unexpected happens.
"Zhuzi, I am in urgent need of some fresh seafood. If you have any fishermen you know, you can introduce them to me. I want them all."
Zhuzi's eyes were shining. Several of his friends' families were fishing for a living. You could ask them.
"Okay madam, I'll go back and ask in the evening!"
Jiang Jiuniang smiled and said: "Don't wait until night, go back now, you can stay at home for one night. Come back tomorrow at noon. Remember, I will live on all those seafood."
Zhuzi knew that Jiang Jiu Niang was thinking about him not going home these days and wanted him to go back and reunite with his family. , was very happy, thanked him and left.
He has been studying and practicing calligraphy with his little master these days, and has memorized several words. He will tell his sister when he goes back!
He never thought that he could live such a good life after becoming someone else's slave. He could eat with his master every day, and he would eat whatever the master ate. It was much better than at home. I don’t know how many times it’s better. If I had known it was like this, it would have been okay for my wife to want Sister to stay, so that Sister could live such a relaxed life.
In the evening, Jiang Jiuniang took her dog and Xiangxiang to the county government office. When the county magistrate saw that she was dragging her family with her, he did not dare to say anything and took them to the cell in person. They were all there, looking at her with wide eyes.
Ms. Yin’s husband is the second son of Mr. Zhang. Except for Sun Changyuan, who is the least favored, this second son is actually more like the eldest son in the family and has always been very favored. Otherwise, Mr. Yin would not be the same. Will be qualified to take charge of the central feeder.
But this time, the second child was not seen, but the second child’s wife was making a fuss with her son and daughter-in-law, and even the children at home were missing.
Seeing their calm attitude, the child must have been arranged in advance. It seemed that the county magistrate had done a lot of things without telling her.
“Bring that one out, I want to interrogate him alone.”
Jiang Jiuniang pointed to a young woman in the corner. She never said a word, just sat quietly in the corner. inside.
When Mrs. Yin saw that Jiang Jiuniang had found the most disliked daughter-in-law, she was worried that her daughter-in-law would expose the truth, so she immediately put on a show of affection and emotion. She stood in front of her daughter-in-law and said, "One person does the work and the other takes the responsibility. Don't Make things difficult for my daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Jiuniang was not in the mood to watch her act, so she raised her chin, and the yamen officials pushed her away and brought out her youngest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li.
The youngest daughter-in-law looked back at her mother-in-law and was taken away in silence.
But Jiang Jiuniang happened to see Yin’s eyes full of warning.
Jiang Jiuniang was worried that the two children were outside, so she took them in together.
There were only three of them, mother and son, and their youngest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, in the room. Jiang Jiuniang did not waste time and asked directly: "Are they using your children to threaten you?"
Mrs. Li originally wanted to follow her mother-in-law's instructions, but she didn't expect Jiang Jiuniang not to ask about the trouble at all, but directly talked about the child.
She had only given birth to a little girl within two years of entering the family. Both her mother-in-law and her husband said that she was incompetent and that she would be unlucky for the rest of her life if she gave birth to a daughter for the first time.
The mother-in-law also encouraged her son to take concubines and have sons, and did not take her as a proper daughter-in-law into consideration at all.
This time, her daughter was forcibly taken away. If the Zhang family's property could not be regained, her daughter would be sold.
Seeing that she was stunned for a long time and didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Jiuniang understood what was going on. She continued to ask: "Do they want to get back the Sun family's property by doing this? And then share a share of the pie with the county magistrate?"
