Chapter 145: Bold but Careful

But there were so many people watching, and the night was so dark that even though she tried her best to make a gap in the crowd, she was tripped by a raised bluestone slab at the corner of her feet after taking only two steps.

Like a sack, the woman fell heavily to the ground.

"Hurry up and catch that woman, she is the kidnapper!" Jiang Mixia shouted.

The runners were quick to act and quickly pinned the woman who was struggling to get up to the ground.

The people watching the excitement were stunned again.

The middle-aged woman said that the young girl was a kidnapper.

The young lady said that her mother wanted to force her to divorce and remarry for money, and even wanted to sell her child.

Now the young lady says that the middle-aged man is a beggar.

…

I'm confused!

The yamen runners who came after hearing the news were also a little confused. After arresting the woman, they asked Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun who brought them here what was going on.

After the woman was arrested, she knew there was no chance of escape, so she confessed everything under the questioning and intimidation of the yamen runners.

She was indeed a beggar, and she thought that this one-year-old boy was good-looking, well-dressed, and had fair skin and tender flesh, so she wanted to kidnap him and sell him to those ladies from wealthy families who were unable to have children.

The child had been fed medicine and was in a coma. At her age, no one would doubt her as long as she claimed to be the child's grandmother.

As a result, when she was planning to meet up with her accomplice and was thinking about how to sell the child, she accidentally ran into someone on the road and was discovered by the other party. She did not get away...

Knowing that the woman had accomplices, several people took her to find other kidnappers.

Several other yamen runners brought Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, carrying the unconscious child, to the yamen to record what had just happened.

"How did you know that the woman was a kidnapper?" When they arrived at the county government office, County Magistrate Tang Zhi asked in surprise.

When he arrived there and saw the woman, he thought at first sight that the child was probably the woman's. He concluded that the woman was a kidnapper without any evidence on the street. The captain found it strange.

"The woman and the child bumped into us and both fell to the ground."

Jiang Mixia explained, "If she was really the child's grandmother or a servant, she would definitely be very worried about the child and would check if the child was hurt, but she didn't even check and just wanted to leave quickly. I feel something is wrong."

"Besides, the fall was not light. If the child was sleeping normally, he would definitely wake up, but he was sleeping like a dead person at that time, which was also very strange. I stopped the woman and asked her if she was a kidnapper. She became furious, so there was basically no escape."

"Indeed." County Magistrate Tang nodded repeatedly, "The young lady is very observant."

Also very courageous.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they could see that there was something wrong with the woman, most of them would rather avoid trouble and would not want to get involved in this mess.

County Magistrate Tang suddenly felt a little admiration for the young lady in front of him.

Of course, the young man who called them in time was also excellent.

After understanding the general situation of the matter, he asked Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to put their fingerprints on the testimony and praised them. Then, County Magistrate Tang sent them out of the county government office and arranged the next steps.

The boy was still unconscious, so he had to be taken to see a doctor. Next, we had to post a notice to find out whose family the missing child belonged to.

In addition, after the kidnappers are caught, they must be carefully interrogated to see if they can find more clues about the missing children.

After County Magistrate Tang made a simple plan, he told his subordinates to get to work quickly.

After Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun left the county government office, they walked towards the inn.

It's getting late now, so I have to go back and rest early.

but……

Song Jingyun rubbed his stomach and said, "I've been busy for so long, I'm hungry, my wife, why don't we go have a bowl of wontons?"

Jiang Mixia, "..."

The young son-in-law's digestive ability is really extraordinary.

The two of them went to a roadside wonton stall that looked fairly busy and ordered two bowls of wontons.

Jiang Mixia ate half a bowl and Song Jingyun ate one and a half bowls.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two returned to the inn, washed up and rested.

It's extremely busy here in the yamen.

After seeing the doctor, the child woke up. The one-year-old child did not cry or make a fuss when he saw so many people surrounding him. Instead, he giggled. County Magistrate Tang and others were so surprised.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But no matter how rare it is, the most important thing is to find the child’s family as soon as possible.

After all, the child looked well-dressed, and the small gold lock around his neck was exquisitely crafted. He didn't look like an ordinary child.

Just when County Magistrate Tang and others were worrying about how to find out whether the child's home was in the county town, County Magistrate Lin hurried over.

"Why are you here at this time, sir?" County Magistrate Tang hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"The wife of the Minister of Personnel, Lord Cao, went back to her parents' home to see off her youngest sister who was getting married. When she passed through our county, the young master disappeared. Lord Cao is a chaste man and his family does not allow concubines. Mrs. Cao is weak and has been nursing for many years to have this only child. She treasures him very much. When the young master was missing, Mrs. Cao fainted in anxiety."

County Magistrate Lin's face was filled with anxiety. "The steward of the Cao family came to me and asked us to hurry up and look for the whereabouts of Young Master Cao in the county town! The Cao family also sent a few capable maids and old women who usually serve the young master to help identify him."

"Hurry up and take the yamen runners with you to search house by house. You must find this Young Master Cao!"

Minister Cao's aunt is the current emperor's beloved concubine. Although his father has retired due to health reasons, he once served as the Minister of Revenue in his earlier years. Minister Cao is also highly trusted by the emperor because of his youth and potential. It is rare for him to be promoted to Minister at such a young age.

Now Minister Cao's beloved son is lost in the county under his jurisdiction. If he cannot be found, his position as county magistrate will be in jeopardy!

County Magistrate Lin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

The young master of the Cao family?

County Magistrate Tang's eyes lit up, "Sir, please ask the Cao family to come and take a look. Is this the young master of the Cao family?"

After saying that, he picked up the boy next to him.

The boy thought that County Magistrate Tang was just trying to play with him, so he started laughing.

The Cao family steward who was following behind County Magistrate Lin heard the noise and hurriedly walked closer. When he saw clearly by the candlelight that the boy held by County Magistrate Tang was his young master, he burst into tears and said, "This is my young master!"

"Thank God for the young master's safety. Otherwise, I would be too ashamed to see the young master and his wife!"

I went to my parents-in-law's new house to install a router and TV box, but the TV box couldn't connect to the wireless network. I met a customer service representative who only said "Hey dear, I'm here" and couldn't solve any problems...

The final result is that I am about to collapse...
