Cheng Wanwan immediately asked Cheng Jia, who was driving the car, to go to the county government office in Baiyun County to inquire about the news.
Cheng Jia made a hurried trip and came back in less than half an hour, bringing news about Liu Kui.
"According to the official, Liu Kui was released in the first month because of his meritorious service." Cheng Jia said the most critical information, "Last year a group of prisoners were taken to Baiyun County for detention. This group of people was extremely vicious and planned to rebel in the first month. , was discovered by Liu Kui and reported, so his sentence was reduced and he was released. This matter is not a secret in Baiyun County."
Cheng Wanwan narrowed his eyes.
The magistrate of Baiyun County should be very aware of her feud with Liu Kui, so why did he let Liu Kui go so lightly without even giving her a message?
Also, with Liu Kui's character, if he is freed, he will definitely come to Dahe Town to cause trouble for Cheng Yuanyuan, mother and son. It has been two months since he was released from prison, and how can he be so calm?
Her intuition told her that this was not an easy matter.
She said coldly: "Cheng Jia, please arrange for someone to go to Liujia Village to keep an eye on Liu Kui, and find out what he has done in the past two months."
Cheng Jia was ordered to do it.
Back in Dahe Town, Cheng Wanwan immediately went to Cheng Yuanyuan's home.
Although Cheng Yuanyuan is not around, Daya and Erya are busy doing business in the yard. In addition to the ice noodle business, they also do some snacks. After cooking them at home, they sell them in the market. The taste is Cheng Wanwan. I helped prepare it and it was very popular in the market.
She picked up a meatball and stuffed it into her mouth. Not to mention, it tasted really good.
She looked around and said, "Where is your mother? Where are you?"
"Isn't Mom going to Nanyang City in a few days? She is preparing flower seedlings." Daya brought a bowl of cooked meatballs and placed it in front of Cheng Wanwan. "Is there something wrong with my second aunt? Do you want me to go get Mom?" Call me back?"
"No need." Cheng Wanwan shook his head, "Erya, go back and make me a cup of tea."
Erya responded cheerfully: "Okay!"
"Da Ya, come and sit here." Cheng Wanwan looked at the graceful niece in front of him and asked slowly, "Your father is out, do you know?"
"What?!" Daya just sat down and immediately jumped up in shock, "My dad came out? When did he come out? Why didn't I know?"
"I just went to Baiyun County to have a wedding banquet and accidentally saw your father. I heard that he got a reduced sentence for meritorious service and came out early." Cheng Wanwan looked into the little girl's eyes, "Your father might come to see your mother. , what are you going to do?"
Daya clenched her fists suddenly: "We have severed ties with him a long time ago. If he dares to come to the door, I will punch him to death."
After settling in Dahe Town, she practiced boxing and kicking with the patrol team every day, and also practiced with Si Dan from time to time. She made rapid progress and had absolutely no problem dealing with Liu Kui. There was no way she would recognize this father back again. .
"Okay, very good." Cheng Wanwan admired her attitude, "What about Erya and Sanmao?"
"Erya and Sanmao hate this father more than I do." Daya paused and said, "It's my mother. She has always been soft-hearted. If my father knelt on the ground crying and begging for mercy, my mother might..."
Cheng Wanwan knew Cheng Yuanyuan's temperament. She had been oppressed by the Cheng family since she was a child, and was oppressed by the Liu family after marriage. Her weak temper had been engraved in her bones. It could not be changed by simply changing it. The best way was to let Cheng Yuanyuan say goodbye. Meet Liu Kui.
She said: "I will have people keep an eye on Liu Kui during this period. If he comes to Dahe Town, I will send someone to notify you in advance. Don't worry."
Da Ya then breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, second aunt."
"Thank you, we are a family." Cheng Wanwan stood up, "I won't delay your work here, go back first."
That night, the person arranged by Cheng Jia brought the news about Liu Kui in the past two months.
Liu Kui's sentence was commuted for his meritorious service and he also received a generous reward. According to what he said in the village, the Baiyun County magistrate rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver. In the past two months, the reason why he had no time to trouble Cheng Yuanyuan and the others was that Because he once again became addicted to gambling. I don't know if it was because of his good luck or something. With a book of one hundred taels, he won more than one thousand taels of silver. He also married a new wife and lived a life of ease.
"It seems that he will not come to Dahe Town before the one thousand taels of silver is used up." Cheng Wanwan smiled coldly, "Mother Qi, prepare a generous gift and have it delivered to Baiyun County. Madam Ling.”
Mrs. Qi knew that this was not a gift, but a slap, so she didn't prepare any expensive gifts, so she took a set of skin care products and put them in.
The next morning, Mrs. Bai came to visit Cheng Wanwan in a carriage, her face full of panic.
"I have met Mr. Suigong, please forgive me." She greeted Cheng Wanwan with sincere fear, and did not dare to sit down. She lowered her head and said, "In the first month of the year, after Liu Kui made meritorious service, our family The master commuted his sentence by half a year. This was a regulation written in the law. There was nothing wrong with this. But a few days later, the provincial capital's chief minister came in person and commuted Liu Kui's sentence by eight years and rewarded him with a hundred yuan. Two pieces of silver..."
Cheng Wanwan frowned.
Lord Dusi, that is the fourth-grade military attaché stationed in Yun Province. A military attaché actually came to Baiyun County in person for a prisoner?
Why does this sound more and more outrageous?
"What Sui Gong doesn't know is that the prisoners who conspired to rebel are the old enemies of Master Dusi. Master Dusi's old mother died at the hands of these people. Master Dusi hates these prisoners with gnashing teeth, but because of the law Without the law, we could not take action against these prisoners, so we sent them to Baiyun County far away. Out of sight and out of mind, who would have thought that this group of people would conspire to escape."
"If Liu Kui hadn't discovered the news and reported it, this group of people would have escaped on the night of the seventh day of the first lunar month. The first thing they did when they escaped was to go to Yun Province and kill Mr. Dusi's family. Precisely because Therefore, Mr. Du Si personally came to Baiyun County to commute Liu Kui's sentence and gave him a generous reward...This matter indeed has nothing to do with our master, so please don't blame me, Suigong people."
"However, our master did not inform Sui Gongren of this matter in time. He was at fault, and he should be punished by Sui Gongren..."
Cheng Wanwan did not doubt Mrs. Bai's words at all, because these were major events, and she could find out by just going to Yun Province and asking around.
So, Liu Kui is simply lucky. Did she think too much?
After seeing off Mrs. Bai, Cheng Wanwan did not let the people who were watching Liu Kui come back and asked them to continue to watch people in shifts.
She didn't like leaving any hidden dangers to herself, and any possible disaster must be nipped in the bud.
However, for a month, Liu Kui was living freely in the casino and wine shop, without any intention of coming to Dahe Town, so Cheng Wanwan slowly let go of the matter.
What she didn't expect was that because she asked Cheng Jia to send people to keep an eye on the Liu family, Cheng Jia and Da Ya had a lot of contact. Da Ya would ask Cheng Jia for news about her scumbag father from time to time, and the two of them got into trouble once and twice. Familiar, they actually have thoughts on that aspect.
When Cheng Jia knelt in front of Cheng Wanwan, she was still a little confused: "Tell me, who do you want to marry?"
