Chapter 473 Asking the Goddess for Help
When the old woman saw the banknotes, she wanted to glue her eyes to them, and she didn't care about the children anymore.
In her opinion, Nuobao was just a baby, and she shouldn't notice anything, so she smiled and led the way to the kitchen.
"Thank you very much, thank you very much! The kitchen is just a little further ahead!"
When little Nuobao arrived at the backyard, he was relieved to see that the old woman didn't follow him, so he distributed the snacks first.
The backyard was very desolate, with only a high wall that was difficult to climb and a few old children's clothes, which looked very depressing.
At first, the children didn't dare to take the food.
But little Nuobao also had a way, deliberately breaking half a piece and chewing it in front of them.
The fragrance immediately spread in the air, making the children's eyes water and their saliva almost "burst".
After holding it in for a while, the skinny little hands could no longer hold back and rushed to the food box. Then, fearing to offend Nuobao, they retreated to the wall and dared to wolf down the food.
Little Nuobao saw that they seemed to have been hungry for a long time, choking and rolling their eyes but still trying hard to swallow. It was so pitiful.
She felt sour in her heart, but she could only seize the time to ask the main questions.
"Hush." The little fat girl raised her finger and said in a baby voice, "I want to ask you, have you ever seen Qin Bu Tong?"
"If you tell me, I will definitely bring you some snacks in the future~"
However, when these words came out, the children were frightened and pale, and they didn't dare to eat the cakes.
At this time, an older child whispered, "You, stop asking! We can't tell you this..."
After that, he was seen staring at the front yard nervously, as if he was afraid that the manager would hear it.
The other children were also scared and slowly hid behind him.
Xiao Nuobao saw that this older child was the leader of the orphans.
She waved her fat hands quickly, "Don't be afraid, as long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will definitely protect you, and that woman can never hurt you again!"
The older child didn't believe it at first, and said frustratedly, "It's useless, the manager called the old lady, she took over our place more than a year ago, and... she has someone behind her! Even if the officers and soldiers from the city come, she is not afraid!"
Xiao Nuobao smelled the breakthrough point of the case and immediately took out a gold and jade ring from the offerings.
"No matter how powerful her background is, can it be as powerful as this princess?"
"I am the lucky princess of this dynasty." Xiao Nuobao raised her ring and said, "I am also a goddess personally appointed by the national teacher, and I am here to investigate the case!"
When the older child heard this, his pupils trembled, "What? Are you really a goddess?"
"I heard that the goddess protected Laicheng and is the savior of ordinary people." His voice trembled, and he knelt down and cried, "If it is really you, then we don't have to wait to die here! Children, we are saved!"
Some of the other children cried, and some were too young to understand, so they all knelt down.
Xiao Nuobao's heart sank, and he stretched out his chubby little hand and pulled up the big brother in front of him.
"Stand up and talk."
"What happened in this orphanage? Don't be afraid, just tell the truth, and this goddess will make the decision for you!"
Although Fatty is still young, her aura is as if she had drunk five kilograms of milk and was full.
The older child no longer had any doubts, and hugged the orphans next to him, telling all the grievances of more than a year.
He sobbed, "Since the old lady came here to manage things, five or six children have died here one after another."
"Every time she said that the dead children were infected with a disease and we were not allowed to see them." The older child gritted his teeth and said, "But I have secretly watched, and those children were clearly drained of blood, not dead from the disease! And I also saw her and a man, talking secretly, but it's a pity that I only saw the back and can't remember the face."
Speaking of the day when Qin Butong came, the older child shuddered even more.
"When that uncle came, we were locked in the house and didn't see him at all. It was the aunt who forced us to give false testimony and threatened that if we dared not to obey, we would be the next to die!"
Xiao Nuobao's blood rushed up and her face was puffed up like a squirrel.
"It's really unreasonable, that woman is so hateful!"
She shouted, "Big brother, hurry up and catch that woman, she is the one who ordered this!"
In the front yard, the housekeeper was holding the banknote and was kicked in the heart by Jiang Fengnian.
"You thief, I saw that you were wrong a long time ago, just wait for your punishment." Jiang Fengnian glared and snatched the banknote back.
At this time, Jiang Fengze, who was waiting in the tea shed, heard the noise and rushed over with Xiao Lanyi to check if the old woman had any accomplices.
Xiao Nuobao brought a bunch of children, like a hen leading a group of chicks, to the front yard to reunite with the family.
The old woman knew she was exposed, but she was still quite arrogant, "Humph, you can just take me to the government office in the prefecture city and see if I can get away."
Jiang Fengze drew out his sword, glared at the old woman, and frightened her into silence.
"Sister, you did a good job. Let's go to the prefecture city and rescue Boss Qin."
"Hand this old woman over to Prefect Xu. He is an honest official and will definitely get to the bottom of the matter." Jiang Fengze put away his sword and said.
Everyone nodded and started to set off.
But no one noticed that when Magistrate Xu was mentioned, the old woman was obviously proud for a moment.
Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi took people and went to the provincial capital first.
As for the nursing home, it would not do without a manager for a while, as the children were all looking at little Nuobao eagerly.
At this critical juncture, the Jiang family would be worried if someone else came.
Besides, the children have suffered a lot, and they need comfort.
Feng sighed and said, "Look at them one by one, some are almost the same age as Nuobao, but we can't let them fall into the hands of bad people again."
Jiang Fengnian really didn't dare to think that if the same suffering fell on his sister and Dongger, he would be so worried.
So he took the initiative to ask for a stay, "Mother, we still have to stay for a few more days, why don't you let me take care of them for a while, and wait until we find the right person."
The matter was settled, and Xiao Nuobao's heart was at ease.
On the way back, she lay on Feng's body with her legs spread out, snoring to catch up.
I thought that if I took the old woman to the capital and interrogated her, I would know the whole story.
However, what they didn't expect was that when Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi came back, they brought back bad news.
"What?!"
"Third brother, you said that the housekeeper died in prison?" Feng stood up after a while.
Xiao Nuobao also sat up and pulled Fengze anxiously, "Third brother, what's going on?"
Jiang Fengze sat on the kang in frustration, "That housekeeper was quite capable. I just handed her over to Governor Xu. After picking up Boss Qin, I wanted to go in together to participate in the interrogation."
"But who knew that when I returned to the prison, I saw that the housekeeper bit her tongue and committed suicide. Governor Xu said that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
This news was indeed difficult for the Jiang family to accept.
Although Qin Bu Tong was fine, could the murder of those children be left unresolved?
Moreover, I heard from other orphans that the victims were all drained of blood, which was a strange way of death.
I thought that the clues would end with the death of the housekeeper.
When the Jiang family was feeling depressed, Mu Yihan came from Xianquanju and cleared the fog for them with one word.
"It doesn't matter. A housekeeper is at most a pawn. Whether she was murdered or committed suicide, it doesn't matter."
"In fact, the mastermind of this case has been exposed a long time ago. Catch him and we will know after a trial." Mu Yihan said calmly.
