Regardless of whether it was Feng Qingzi or not, anyone who turned a child into a candlestick should be cut into pieces. Even though the person was already dead, County Magistrate He still ordered the body to be hung at the city gate and exposed for three days and three nights.

Jian Ning looked at the three grief-stricken mothers in the hall, and thought that she also had four children now, and she had to do good deeds for her children. She originally wanted to tell Ma Fuquan on the way here, but perhaps it was a little greed in her heart. After all, it was a night pearl, not a glass bead, so in the end she chose to remain silent.

Now she decided to hand it over. If she wanted money, she could earn it herself. Only when she earned the money herself could she feel at ease and secure in spending it.

She asked Captain Guan for a cloth bag, quietly took out the night pearl, then called Ma Fuquan aside, handed it to Ma Fuquan, and took the initiative to criticize herself.

Ma Fuquan took the bag and said with a wry smile, "I'm Constable Ma Fuquan now, not your captain anymore. You don't have to apologize to me. But as a friend, as an elder brother, I still want to praise you. You did the right thing. If you need money, we can earn it ourselves."

He weighed the bag and said, "I'll give these things to Lao Guan and let him take the credit. Is that okay with you?"

Jane Ning shook her head. For some reason, after hearing him say that he was no longer her captain, she felt empty and uncomfortable.

Ma Fuquan quietly handed the cloth bag to Captain Guan. He was the town's constable, and the child case was a county case. It would be better for this credit to be given to Captain Guan than to others. Their brothers had worked hard, especially those who moved and dragged the corpse. Let them get some reward money so that they could have some drinks.

After the court was adjourned, County Magistrate He ordered several yamen runners to move the bodies in the carriage to the corner of the yard. The next morning, these bodies would be hung at the city gate for all the people in the city to see the end of the evildoers.

The matter was settled, and Jian Ning and the others were ready to go home. Captain Guan, Wang Da and others sent them out. No one noticed that among the pile of corpses against the courtyard wall behind them, the eyelids of one of the corpses moved, and then slowly opened his eyes.
