Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 26 Something Really Happened

  In the next few days, it rained heavily in the village, and the wind was so strong that the roof almost fell off.

  Li Ce brought some surviving tiles from home, and helped Chu Nanzhi thicken the blown-off roof tiles against the wind and rain.

   In this way, there are no leaks in the house.

  Waiting for the rain to stop, Chu Nanzhi went to the market at the entrance of the village to stock up a lot of vegetables and came back. Afterwards, the rain became heavier and heavier, and she didn't bother to go out again. She stayed at home and maintained a very friendly relationship with this family.

  Everyone does not offend the river.

   And Lin Jinxiao narrowly escaped death again. Although he was still afraid of this wicked woman, he hoped to heal his leg injury as soon as possible, so he was quite obedient to Chu Nanzhi's advice.

  Nothing, try not to walk around.

unless.

  Can't help it.

Sometimes Chu Nanzhi decocted medicine to feed him, seeing him blushing from holding back, knew that he wanted to go to the toilet, and wanted to help him, but this guy insisted on pressing Li Ce to go home, and then let Dabao go Invite Li Ce to come.

   And Li Ce could see what his brother was thinking, and he always had to come and have a look when he came home late every day to feel at ease.

  Looking at the two men, one is strong and powerful, the other is fair and delicate, graceful and tight, and they love each other, she really feels that she is superfluous, hindering their good deeds.

  Although the four little treasures are not too close to her, they have not resisted her so much in the past few days.

  Especially Dabao, who is polite enough to talk to her,

A little bit.

   Such a peaceful day lasted until the third morning after the rain, a carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

  The person who came was the groom of the county government, that person Chu Nanzhi still remembered.

  She had just finished making breakfast and cooked medicine for Lin Jinxiao. The groom came over respectfully and said with a smile, "Miss Chu, my lord invites you to go to the county government office to make a statement."

   "Narrative?"

  Chu Nanzhi looked confused: "I am a woman, what can the magistrate have something to say to me?"

   Taoist Ximen has just sent off respectfully, and she doesn't want to have an affair with the county magistrate again.

   But looking at the groom's friendly expression, it doesn't look like he wants to embarrass himself.

  Besides, she was law-abiding, so she had nothing to do with the county government.

   Could it be that the county magistrate wanted the money back?

  Chu Nanzhi thought so.

  The parents of the dignified party should not be so stingy.

  The groom saw that she was still unwilling to leave, so he had to say again: "The county magistrate said that he has something to discuss with Mrs. Chu, please go there, my lady, don't make things difficult for me."

  Chu Nanzhi thought about it, if the people don't fight with the officials, they still have to go.

  She went to the hut to change into clean clothes and took ten taels of silver. This time she went out but locked the door. Just as she turned around, she saw a pair of bright little eyes staring at her.

  When Chu Nanzhi saw that it was the little Sibao, she immediately smiled warmly: "You woke up before I called you?"

  Little Sibao put on a bitter face, and didn't answer her question, blinking his eyes and expressing his thoughts: "Where are you going?"

   "I'm going to the county government office, the county magistrate please, and you will talk to your father later."

   After speaking, he hurried to the kitchen to fill up the porridge, and brought it to the dining table in the living room to cool down together with the pickles for dinner.

  After finishing everything, she pointed to the soup and medicine on the table, and she told Xiao Sibao again: "Remember to ask your father to drink the medicine after eating."

   Then go out.

  Seeing that she was so well prepared, Xiao Sibao suddenly became worried, and chased her and asked, "Are you coming back?"

"certainly."

  At this time, the rest of the little guys rushed out, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and staring at her closely with vigilance.

  Chu Nanzhi thought about the escape of the original owner, and immediately explained: "Look, I didn't bring anything, and I still have to come back."

   After finishing speaking, he gestured to the groom: "If you don't believe me, ask this grandpa?"

  The groom hunched over and walked to the four little guys, and said calmly: "Your mother was indeed invited by the county magistrate to be a guest, you don't have to worry, grandpa will send her back soon."

  The four little guys were dubious, so they had to run in together to find Dad.

  They are in mixed feelings now.

  If they call bad women mothers, they are not happy;

  But if the bad woman just walks away like this, they are still not happy.

  Chu Nanzhi didn't dare to keep Magistrate Hu waiting for a long time, since she wouldn't really run away anyway, she might as well go earlier and come back sooner.

  Following the groom into the carriage, she began to feel agitated, unable to figure out what the county magistrate could do with her.

  She suddenly remembered that two days ago, Li Ce and Lin Jinxiao were muttering in the back room that a certain rich family in the county had lost a child.

   But the county magistrate should not look for her for such a thing.

  Thinking like this, she became dazed again.

  …

  Anlin Village is the nearest village in Luyangang County, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to drive into the city.

  When entering the city, there was a routine interrogation by the yamen guard at the city gate, but seeing that it was the county magistrate's carriage, he let it go immediately.

   Arriving at Dexian Yamen, County Magistrate Hu has already set up a table of food waiting for Chu Nanzhi.

   Seeing the fat middle-aged greasy uncle with a mysterious look on his face, Chu Nanzhi unconsciously felt a little vigilant: "There are many trivial matters in the house of the housewife, so I wonder what it means to invite the housewife here?"

   Nothing to show courteousness, either **** or steal.

  An official gave her a table of meals for a commoner, and she dared not eat even if she was a little hungry.

   County Magistrate Hu smiled all over his face, and did not answer her, pretending to be mysterious and invited her to take a seat, but this time he was followed by a man with a mustache who was nearly fifty years old, and he only listened to the magistrate's call:

   "Prime Minister Sun, pour tea for Miss Chu."

   County magistrate?

  That is equivalent to a person at the level of the deputy county magistrate.

  Pour tea for her?

  Chu Nanzhi was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up: "Don't dare to act, dare not act."

   Prepare to flee immediately.

   "Miss Chu, don't panic."

  Magistrate Hu continued to smile, and personally took the teacup from Prime Minister Sun and handed it to her, comforting her to sit down:

"A while ago, Mrs. Lao Chu found out the tax case for me, and restored the white-stained tax money for me. I am very grateful, but I have been busy with official duties, and I haven't had time to express my gratitude in the future. I specially bought this table today. Let’s chat at the banquet to express our feelings.”

   "My lord, you are polite. The women took your money and did things for your lord. We have long since owed each other, so you don't have to worry about it."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled politely.

   She has long heard such words on the scene.

   "Miss Chu saved my future for me, how could fifty taels of silver be enough to express my gratitude."

   "In this way, the adults sincerely invite you to buy this table of meals for the women?"

   "Naturally so, is it possible that this official can still harm Mrs. Chu?"

   "Thank you so much for your kindness, my lord, you're welcome."

   "You're welcome, you're welcome."

  Chu Nanzhi hadn't had time to eat when she came over. Looking at the table of delicacies, she couldn't bear it any longer. After rinsing her mouth, she picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat with confidence.

  Seeing that she was eating with gusto, magistrate Hu felt much more at ease.

   After a while, he suddenly said:

"I heard that Erlang of the Lin family was imprisoned for committing a crime a while ago. He stole money from Mrs. Chu's house. He should have been severely punished for his rampage in the village for many years. This time it fell into my hands. I will definitely teach Mrs. Chu a lesson." He, he must be beaten to pieces."

   "My lord was joking. The woman has no personal enmity with him. Please handle it impartially. If he is sincere, please give me a lenient punishment."

   After saying this, Chu Nanzhi thought about it again, and then added thoughtfully:

"Lin Erlang has caused a lot of trouble to the neighbors for his troubles in the village these years. The reason why the housewife and the husband of the family are so determined to send him to the big prison is that he will be punished and he will be able to rest assured in the future. To be a real human being is not to have the intention of harming others.”

   "Ms. Chu's heart is kind, she is high-spirited and upright, which makes this official feel ashamed."

   County magistrate Hu originally thought that this woman was going to take revenge, but he never thought that he would be wrong.

  Chu Nanzhi also had a full stomach at this time, seeing that County Magistrate Hu was still unwilling to reveal his true intention of inviting her over, she could only pretend to get up and leave:

   "Thank you for your kind hospitality today, and the lady has eaten. If there is no order from the lord, the lady will leave."

  Unexpectedly, before she moved, Magistrate Hu became anxious and stopped her immediately:

   "I really don't dare to be sent. If there is something to do, I really have something to ask Mrs. Chu."
