Chapter 815 Different Ideals 2 (Happy Birthday and Full Moon to Mo Yan and Her Little Princess)
Everyone looked at Madam Liu.
Madam Liu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Then you must go back home with me."
County Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "No problem, no problem."
After saying this, he stood up and was about to leave, but Old Madam Liu stopped him and said, "I have to inconvenience Master Tang."
County Magistrate Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is this?"
"To be honest, sir, maybe I'm just too suspicious. I'm always afraid that someone is still watching my Bai family."
County Magistrate Tang was puzzled. "I remember your family was very close to County Magistrate Yang."
"That's different. County Magistrate Yang is the head of this county, and we are a wealthy family here. It's only natural for us to be close to him. But Lord Tang is different." Old Madam Liu said meaningfully, "Especially since Lord Tang has a family background in learning. The news of your visit to my house may not be a big deal to others, but those with ulterior motives will always think too much."
Madam Liu glanced at Bai Shan and said, "Our Bai family is just a commoner now and cannot withstand any big storms."
County Magistrate Tang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go there in disguise."
Old Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Manbao and Baishan looked at each other and immediately said, "We want to follow too."
Old Madam Liu smiled at the two of them and said, "This is a matter for adults. You are still children."
Old Zhou also grabbed Manbao and shook his head at her. Those corrupt officials and princes sounded very dangerous. Their family was a real common people and could not withstand any storm, so it was better to stay away from them.
Manbao broke free from Old Zhou's hand, ran forward and said, "Madam, I want to know about my parents."
Madam Liu glanced at Qian and said, "Manbao, if you want to know anything, you can ask your mother."
"My mother has told me everything she knows, but I want to know more," Manbao said seriously, "They are my parents. They have been wronged for twelve years. I can't just sit there and wait and do nothing, can I?"
Bai Shan also stood beside Man Bao, "Grandma, you taught me to inherit my father's legacy since I was a child."
"You are still young now."
"Not young anymore," Bai Shan said, "I'm already a second-level student at the prefectural school. My classmates are all sixteen or seventeen years old, and my intelligence is no less than theirs."
Manbao nodded. "I can now diagnose and prescribe medicine. The body is just a shackle, the main thing to look at is the mind."
County Magistrate Tang's brows twitched as he listened.
Manbao also looked at him, "Master Tang, we are very powerful, you should know that, right?"
County Magistrate Tang stroked his forehead, glanced at Old Madam Liu and the Zhou couple, and decided to stand by and watch.
To a certain extent, these two are someone else's only child. He must not get involved. If something really happens, what will he use to compensate them?
Bai Shan and Man Bao have never been unable to accomplish anything they wanted since they were young. As a result, they both have a domineering personality and are willing to do what they say they will do.
No matter how Old Zhou tried to persuade her, it was useless, even Mrs. Qian’s persuasion was useless.
Qian looked at Manbao's little face for a long time, then sighed and said, "Let her be."
Old Zhou was angry at her, "How can you let her do whatever she wants? Is this something you can play with?"
"But this temper is hereditary. What can you do about it?" Qian said calmly, "Back then, the second son wanted to sell himself, and we refused to allow it. But what happened? He ran to the county town and sold himself. Who could stop him?"
Old Zhou was choked and speechless.
After Manbao dealt with his parents, he turned around and smiled proudly at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan pouted and looked at his grandmother stubbornly. Seeing that Old Madam Liu always refused, his eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
Old Madam Liu looked at him with great distress. Seeing that he was about to cry, she couldn't help but hesitate.
When County Magistrate Tang saw this, he couldn't help but say, "Madam Liu, when I was thirteen, I also traveled with my father and helped solve cases."
As soon as he finished speaking, County Magistrate Tang wanted to slap himself on the mouth. He said, "You're talking too much. You're in trouble again, aren't you?"
He had clearly made up his mind to stand by and watch.
Madam Liu sighed, closed her eyes slightly and said, "Then let's go together."
After everyone agreed, they went out together with a smile. Jiang Qi and others who were guarding outside the door immediately stood up from their stools and looked at County Magistrate Tang through the servants of the Bai family.
Just now, the servants of the Bai family invited them out, then surrounded the door and isolated them. No one knew what they were saying inside.
County Magistrate Tang nodded slightly to Jiang Qi, indicating that it was all right. Then he said, "I think the scenery on this mountain is very beautiful. I plan to stay here for the night. You can take the others back first. If anyone asks, just say that I had a good chat with the Taoist priest in the temple, so I stayed on the mountain for the night."
Jiang Qi understood what he meant and agreed. He glanced at the Bai family members and then led them away.
Although he said he was going to the Bai family, County Magistrate Tang was not in a hurry. He had to do the whole show. He said he wanted to have a good chat with the Taoist priest in the temple, so he really went to find the Taoist priest in the temple.
Manbao and Baishan looked at each other and hurriedly ran after him.
Old Madam Liu did not stop them and stayed where she was. Then she looked at Old Zhou and Qian and invited them in. Now that things had come out, she naturally had to thank the Old Zhou family and explain why she had not come to visit them in the past four years.
Qian glanced at Manbao's back as he disappeared at the transfer area, then turned around and followed Madam Liu inside.
Manbao and Baishan caught up with County Magistrate Tang and asked, "What do you believe in what Grandmother Liu says?"
County Magistrate Tang laughed, "Guess?"
Manbao lost his temper and said, "I don't want to guess, just tell me directly."
County Magistrate Tang tapped her head gently with his fan and said, "You've got a bad temper. Now you're showing off."
Bai Shan asked, "Did you deceive my grandmother just to see the evidence in her hands?"
County Magistrate Tang stopped and said, "You are right, but you are also wrong."
He said, "I don't trust anyone. I don't trust your grandmother, I don't trust you, I don't even trust Jiang Qi, and I certainly won't trust the King of Yizhou or the officials of Yizhou Prefecture. I only trust the evidence I can see and my own judgment."
"So what is your conclusion after listening to my grandmother's statement?"
County Magistrate Tang said, "Your grandmother said what she believed to be true."
"Could what my grandmother knew be false?"
County Magistrate Tang said, "Not only your grandmother, but also your two fathers. Even though they are dead, the things they said and left behind may not be true. I have seen too many false things left behind by victims. You are still too young and have too little experience."
Manbao and Baishan were stunned when they heard this.
Seeing them like this, County Magistrate Tang was as amused as if he were seeing his younger self. He became more talkative. He looked around and asked, "Where is this place? Why aren't there any tourists? Can we talk freely?"
Manbao said, "You want to say something that no one can hear? I'll take you there."
