Summer in Yancheng is coming in force, but the morning is still very cold.
The door of the county government office slowly opened, and the two government officials who had just gotten up yawned and walked down the steps.
"Dong dong dong!"
The drum at the gate of the county government office was suddenly beaten so hard that it was deafening.
One of the government officials was so frightened that he almost rolled down the steps.
“Who plays the drums so early in the morning?”
A man and a woman finished playing the drums and fell to their knees with a plop.
"Master Qingtian, help me!"
"Save my poor daughter."
The men and women in their forties were banging their heads loudly, as if they were desperate for their lives. The two government officials were afraid that they would knock themselves to death, so they quickly stepped forward, each carrying one, and saw clearly what they looked like.
Come on, we are still old acquaintances.
Wang Xingmin came out in official uniform at the same time and sat under the high mirror. Under the majesty of the official uniform and hat, he was still sleepy.
Several government officials in black were standing with killing sticks. Suddenly, the majesty in the lobby forced the two men and women to stop crying.
"Who is in the hall? Why are you beating the drum?"
Wang Xingmin's alarm clapped, and the two of them trembled with fright, and quickly bowed again.
The man quickly calmed down, "Cao Min Li Gensheng, this is Cao Min's daughter-in-law Qian. Sir, Cao Min beats the drum because Cao Min's daughter is missing. Please save Cao Min's daughter. Cao Min's daughter is missing." "
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Daughter, my miserable daughter!" The woman was wailing next to her.
Wang Xingmin patted the gavel again and said, "No noise is allowed in the courtroom. Speak calmly. What is your daughter's name? When did she disappear?"
"The Cao Min's daughter is called Li Shuang. She works in the Chengyang Marquis Mansion and is the young lady's maid. Her name is Ji Xiang in the manor. She hasn't come home for more than half a month."
Wang Xingmin: "..." Yes, it turned out to be this family.
"I am sending manpower to search, and I believe there will be results soon." Wang Xingmin said.
Mr. Qian said, "Sir, you said it will be soon. When will it be soon? The women have been waiting at home for more than half a month. How long do you want the women to wait?"
Wang Xingmin: "...We are doing our best."
"I dreamed about my daughter last night." The woman looked frightened and desperate: "She told me that she was locked up in an airtight place where she could not see the sun. She said she was so scared. Sir, I Has my daughter been killed?”
Wang Xingmin: "..." In fact, it's not impossible, but he didn't dare to say, "We can't determine life or death until the person is found. You two don't have to worry, Miss Li has her own destiny, and she will definitely return safely." "
The woman was not satisfied with the formulaic answer.
She looked up to the sky and screamed, and suddenly straightened up: "If I can't find my daughter, I will, I will crash and die here."
Qian made a gesture and rushed towards the pillar. Wang Xingmin was so frightened that he stood up and yelled at the stunned government servant: "Hurry up and save this person!"
"Oh oh oh."
Only then did several government officials come to their senses and wake up instantly.
He quickly surrounded him from front to back and stopped the woman who was about to hit the pillar.
Qian was rescued and still cried loudly: "My daughter must have been killed. The weather is so hot now. If my daughter died, her body would stink. By the time you find her, there will probably be only a white skeleton left." .My poor daughter!”
"My twins." Li Gensheng was also crying.
Wang Xingmin sighed.
It is human nature for parents to feel sorry for their children.
Wang Xingmin is also a father. Although his children are hundreds of miles away, he often misses people when he sees things. Thinking of his children, just looking at their things makes him feel sweet in his heart.
But if something happened to the child, how sad the couple would be.
Wang Xingmin felt the same way: "You don't have to worry. I will send more people to look for him. I will definitely give you an explanation."
We have to find people for them when we are alive, and we have to find corpses for them when we die.
There should be an explanation.
Wang Xingmin sent out all the yamen servants in the yamen, not sparing the surrounding woods and rivers. A group of people mobilized troops, and Xu Wanning quickly learned the news.
"Her parents went to the Yamen to file a complaint?"
"Well, they said they cried so hard in the yamen that they hit the pillars." Chen Wang replied: "They said they dreamed that Jixiang was dead, and they kept saying that Jixiang was dead."
"Jixiang is not close to them." Otherwise, Xu Wanning would not be allowed to go back and send a peace letter.
"My subordinates guess that they must have someone to give them guidance."
Jixiang has not shown up for more than half a month. If her parents wanted a daughter, they would have jumped out long ago, but they have waited until now, and still at this time.
Only two days ago, someone came out of Ningyuan alive and kicking.
Xu Wanning looked at the vacant east wing.
Since Cui Yunfeng left, Xu Wanning asked Hongmei to burn the contents bit by bit.
The things that disgusting man used made her feel sick just looking at them.
Not to mention, the food cooked by using the scumbag's things to make a fire is quite delicious.
Everything including bedding and clothes was burned. I heard that tables, chairs and beds will be burned next.
"Miss, are you suspicious of Cui Yunfeng?"
Xu Wanning didn't say yes or no, and looked away, "How is your sister-in-law's confinement going?"
"It should be good. My eldest brother took a month's leave and went back to take care of my sister-in-law." Chen Wang said ambiguously.
Xu Wanning heard it, "Have you never seen it?"
Chen Wang pursed his lips, his tall body hunched over and stood in front of Xu Wanning, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Well, I didn't go."
"He is your eldest brother. I don't want you two brothers to turn against each other because of my relationship with Cui Yunfeng."
"He is Miss's enemy." Chen Wang has no regrets. "We can survive because of the Xu family. The Xu family is our reborn parents, but the eldest brother is on Cui Yunfeng's side. That is obviously against the Miss. The eldest brother is on Cui Yunfeng's side." He covets the glory of the Hou Mansion, follows Cui Yunfeng, deceives the young lady, and frames the young lady, so his subordinates can't...can't..."
I can no longer call him brother.
"But you are brothers after all." Xu Wanning sighed quietly.
Chen Wang took a long breath: "Yes. Therefore, I would like to ask the lady for a favor."
"you say."
"If one day, Miss gets her wish, can you spare Chen Yuan's life? Let him lead a normal life with his wife and daughter."
Chen Yuan betrayed the young lady, and he deserved it, but the sister-in-law and his daughter were innocent. What if Chen Yuan died and they were orphans and widowed?
Xu Wanning nodded: "I promise you."
Chen Yuan's home was a little far away from the Hou Mansion, and it took almost two cups of tea to walk. Chen Wang was carrying large and small bags in his hands. When he walked to Chen Yuan's home, there were already beads of sweat on his back.
"Who is it?" It was a soft female voice, accompanied by the cry of a baby.
