Chunxiao guessed that someone must have come, otherwise it would be Dongsheng alone. Although he was a seventh-rank official, there was a big difference between a civil official and a military official. He was just a sinecure, and the county magistrate would not give him face.
"Miss, please wait a moment, I'll get you something to eat." Seeing that she had no objection, Xiaohua hurried out.
When I came again, all my family members came with me.
"Chunxiao, are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?" Seeing that she was about to sit up, Zhou hurried forward and helped her sit up. "It's okay to eat while lying down. We are all family."
"Why are you all here!" She smiled and leaned on Zhou. Zhou wanted to feed her, but she took the bowl and said, "I'll do it myself."
"What are you doing? Look at your own hands, what has become of them?"
She then noticed that her hands were wrapped up and shook them in front of her eyes. "Why are they wrapped like this? How can I move?"
"I'm your mother. Why should you be embarrassed about feeding you?"
Chunxiao was a little embarrassed, mainly because there were so many people in the room. In the end, Xiaohua came over to take the bowl, "Auntie, let me do it. I'm used to taking care of the young lady."
Yan Bingfa and his men sat opposite her, watching her eat porridge. "This dog official deserves a miserable death. This time, he will definitely pay the price."
Yan Qi stepped forward and said, "Aunt, the director of the museum also helped you this time. He wrote a letter to the students in Beijing. Don't worry, the county magistrate will not have a good end if he bullies you."
Everyone sat in the room and started talking to each other.
Chunxiao also pieced together the whole story from their words.
After she was arrested that day, Xiaohua and Tian Shi set out to look for Dongsheng the next day. Yan Bingfa and the village head went to the township government to pay the fine, but the government told them that the person had been taken to the county town. Yan Bingfa and Yan Dashan followed them to the county town.
As a result, the government took action again and did not allow them to visit the prison. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan during those days. They spent money and used connections everywhere but still could not find a way.
Zhuang Yan heard about this from Yan Qi. He had long been dissatisfied with the local county magistrate. After failing to negotiate with the county magistrate, he wrote a letter. He openly sent someone to leave the city but was intercepted. However, he secretly asked a carriage to take the letter out.
Zhuang Yan had never expected that the county magistrate, who was so powerful, would actually dare to intercept his letter and later invite him to his house as a guest.
He originally ran his own school, but he occasionally heard about some of the county magistrate's actions and did not pay much attention to them, which made him very annoyed.
More than ten days later, Tian and Xiaohua returned, and Yan Dahe, Shuwen and others all followed them back. As soon as they came back, they went to the county town to find Yan Bangfa. Xiaohua told them that Dongsheng had been found and went to the capital.
