Chapter 966 They are probably in collusion
"What's wrong with me?"
The girl was still in a daze. The next second, she held her forehead and said, "My head hurts..."
"I can't remember, so let's not think about that for now."
Jiang Wan felt sorry for her. This girl was really pitiful. If she hadn't met them, she would have been on the chopping board last night.
"Miss, what's your name?"
Muxiang opened her harmless eyes and asked the girl with a smile.
Perhaps her eyes were too deceptive, the girl responded softly.
"My name is Li Ruan."
"Ruan Ruan, your name is so nice."
In the past, Muxiang would only feel envy when she heard such a nice name, but since her master gave her the name, she no longer envies others.
"Thanks."
Li Ruan hissed, "I remember now, I wanted to stay at the hotel and rest in the inn at night.
Later, I felt someone carrying me away in a daze. I wanted to wake up, but my body didn't obey me.
I... I heard the sound of a knife hitting the chopping board. It was horrible."
As they talked, Li Ruan curled up into a pile, and her eyes were filled with defensiveness and fear as she looked at them.
She remembered everything and was afraid.
"Don't be afraid."
Mu Xiang hugged Li Ruan tightly, "We have rescued you, and my master has also cured you of the effects of the drug.
That black-hearted inn has also been closed down by the government. Miss Ruan Ruan, you are no longer in danger."
"Really?"
Li Ruan shrank her neck in fear. Although she didn't know what those people wanted to do, she just felt scared.
The sound of the machete hitting the chopping board made her afraid that it would chop her down in the next second.
"Of course it's true."
Jiang Wan also tried her best to smile more gently, "You should have a good rest first and don't think too much.
The bad guys will be punished soon, but if you remember anything, you can tell Muxiang.
These can all be used as evidence to convict them, and she will tell the officials in detail."
"good."
Li Ruan nodded vigorously, but her fingertips were still tightly gripping the quilt, and it was obvious that she was still afraid inside.
Jiang Wan did not force her, she said: "Miss Ruan Ruan, if it is convenient, you can tell us your home address.
I will send someone to notify your family to pick you up, or send you back home."
“No…don’t!”
Li Ruan grabbed Mu Xiang's sleeve tightly. After surviving a disaster, they became the people she trusted the most.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan couldn't force her, so she could only tell Mu Xiang to accompany Li Ruan.
"Muxiang, I'm going to meet the person behind the scenes. You guys just keep an eye on Miss Ruanruan."
"Master, rest assured, I will protect her."
Muxiang's protective words made Li Ruan feel safe. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan left Gan Ze and Muxiang to guard Li Ruan.
Then he followed Song Si out of the inn.
All the captured people were detained in the Mi County government office. When Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan arrived, the magistrate of Mi County seemed to be interrogating the prisoners.
Song Jiuyuan lowered his voice and explained to Jiang Wan, “My lady, when you are away from home, this no longer belongs to Jiuzhou.
So I didn’t reveal my identity, and they just thought we were victims.”
"I see."
Jiang Wan expressed her understanding and followed him into the reception room of the government office. As a result, they waited for half an hour.
Song Si looked at the yamen runner at the door impatiently, "What's wrong with your county magistrate?"
"My Lord is busy and is interrogating the prisoner. Don't worry."
The attitude of the yamen runners was lukewarm, and it was obvious that they didn't seem to care about the matter.
If they don't take such a big thing seriously, there is only one possibility: they have known about it for a long time.
Jiang Wan was a little angry. Before she could speak, Song Jiuyuan said to Song Si:
"Since your county magistrate is so busy, it doesn't matter."
Facing the bailiff's impudent smile, Song Jiuyuan took out a token from his waist, deliberately not letting the bailiff see it clearly, and said to Song Si:
"Take my token and go to the prefectural city to ask the prefect to come over. I was almost killed in the territory he manages. I need an explanation."
"Yes, Master."
Song Si took the token and left. The yamen runners panicked, “My lord, please don’t worry.
I will go and urge the county magistrate right away, and he will definitely handle this matter properly."
The bailiff was afraid that Song Jiuyuan and the others really knew the prefect, and then they would all be finished.
So run very fast.
Jiang Wan frowned, "Song Jiuyuan, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle."
This county magistrate is probably in cahoots with the boss.
"Don't be afraid, Wanwan. If they are really in the same group, I will not let them go."
Song Jiuyuan snapped his fingers, and a figure in black appeared in front of them.
"Go and get the prefect."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Song Wu had been hiding in the dark. Upon hearing what was said, he took the token and left quickly. Jiang Wan was a little curious.
"Didn't you say that I can't reveal my identity?"
"Well, so I took Cheng Jin's token."
Cheng Jin, the son of the Cheng family, is from Kyoto after all, and his family members also serve as officials in the court. I don't believe those people are not afraid of him.
Once people come, Song Jiuyuan will have plenty of ways to deal with them.
"My husband is really smart."
Jiang Wan's soft words made Song Jiuyuan feel sweet in his heart. He couldn't help but say:
"Madam, call me husband again."
When his wife called him so tenderly and gently, his soul almost followed her.
"I'm doing business."
Jiang Wan ignored him. The two waited for about half a minute, and then they saw a figure rushing in hurriedly.
The man's clothes were in disarray, obviously he had put them on in a hurry, and he didn't even wear his shoes and socks properly.
This clearly shows that the prisoner was not interrogated.
"What are you doing?"
Magistrate Mi straightened his official hat and took a few steps to sit in the main seat. "Is this the case you reported?"
"yes."
Song Si looked down on the county magistrate's behavior and said, "I knew you were so busy.
We will not send him to the government jail, but interrogate him in person."
He glanced coldly at the lipstick marks on the back of the county magistrate's neck. What a bunch of good-for-nothings, they were simply wasting his time.
"Private interrogation is a felony."
Magistrate Mi was a little angry. He had always been the boss in Mi County and was not used to it at the moment.
"Where is the prisoner?"
Song Jiuyuan's eyes were slightly cold. Even though he knew that this person might not cooperate, he still held on to hope.
"The prisoner is in the cell. Just tell me the truth about what you know, and I will interrogate him."
County Magistrate Mi laughed it off. Jiang Wan didn't believe him when he said he had no relationship with the inn's owner.
"Really?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other. She waited for Song Jiuyuan's move, but Song Jiuyuan was not in a hurry.
“In that case, please trouble the county magistrate to interrogate us. We were almost killed.
We really dare not let such evil people go, we will leave after they have convicted us."
"yes."
Jiang Wan nodded seriously, "I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. I only felt safe in the government office."
Magistrate of Mi County: ...
He really didn't expect these two people to be so stubborn.
So he sighed and said, "From the looks of you two, you should not be short of money. I advise you to leave Mi County as soon as possible.
I will take care of things here, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
