Chapter 66: We've already divorced, looking for someone else is a shame
People were in panic under the rain, and several figures were searching for Jiang's father.
Chang Bo went to ask the county magistrate for help, but the yamen runner yawned and said disdainfully, "Go away, go away! Is it worth disturbing our lords in the middle of the night for a mere fugitive? It would be better if he died. It would improve the reputation of Suming County."
Suddenly, everyone's heart turned cold.
Chang Bo sighed, "Forget it, let's keep looking."
After searching around, I still found nothing.
Jiusu remembered that her aunt had mentioned a medicine hall. She asked, "Where is Huiming Hall?"
Jiang Jing walked to the intersection, took in the surroundings, and pointed to the gorgeous medicine hall deep in the alley. "Go forward a hundred meters and turn right. There are two red lanterns hanging at the door. That's Huiming Hall."
The surroundings were gloomy and there was no light except for the red lanterns emitting a 'weird' light.
Very suitable for doing bad things.
Qian Junjie rubbed his arms and said, "It's scary. This Hui Ming Tang is not a good place. It has killed many people. However, the owner of Hui Ming Tang knows people in the court, and he has been suppressed time and time again."
Jiusu asked: "Is anyone else going?"
"Most of them are gone." Qian Junjie shrugged. "But sometimes the herbs are very cheap, and there are many poor people, so they have no choice but to come here. For a while, everyone forgot that Hui Ming Tang had killed people, and they all thought it was an accident. After all, no medical clinic is without mistakes."
Tolerance, repeated tolerance, makes Huimingtang more rampant.
It's like the internet has no memory.
Jiusu said, "Let's go ask around and see if the neighbors have seen anything. I have a feeling my uncle is in Huiming Hall, so let's not alert him yet."
After a while.
Qian Junjie pointed at himself dissatisfiedly and asked, "Why are you two going together? I'm going alone?"
"Because everyone knows you, the handsome and elegant Mr. Qian." Jiusu's eyes were smiling, and her tone was full of compliments. Seeing Qian Junjie's tail almost lifted to the sky, she said, "Hurry up and act, otherwise everyone will be asleep."
Boom boom boom.
An old woman opened the door and saw the young man with excellent appearance and temperament. Her guard eased a little. "What do you want?"
Jiusu asked affectionately, "Grandma, we want to ask, did you see anyone being carried into the Huiming Hall?"
"Ah?" The old woman lowered her head. "I haven't seen it before. I still want to sleep. You guys should leave quickly."
Bang!
The two were almost kicked out.
They looked at each other and got a definite answer from each other's surprised expressions. There was definitely something fishy going on, most likely in the Huiming Hall, but they were afraid of offending others and did not dare to say it.
Qian Junjie came over and looked up. "Hey, haven't you two heard the news yet?"
"Did you find out?" Jiusu asked.
Qian Junjie nodded and whispered, "Someone couldn't bear the pressure and said that they saw a sedan chair entering the Huiming Hall and heard the sound of struggling inside. It was a middle-aged man."
It's safe! It's in Huiming Hall.
The three of them stood in the alley, looking at Huiming Hall. Jiang Jing's eyes darkened. "I'll go in and make sure my father is inside. If he is..." He smiled bitterly, "I can only rescue him."
What else can he do?
Hitting someone? That would only lead to more severe retaliation.
Qian Junjie grabbed his collar and asked, "Can you swallow this?"
"Don't you know this tone best?" Jiang Jing raised his head, his gaze fixed on Qian Junjie, making him feel uneasy. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm just a fugitive. Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens is the best outcome for me."
Qian Junjie let him go and said in a depressed mood when he recalled what he had done in the Qian Mansion before.
"Feel sorry."
Their Qian family had no chance of winning against Hui Ming Tang, let alone Jiang Jing?
Suddenly, Du Chenchen also came.
He said, "I can climb walls."
Jiusu's eyes lit up. She took out a firework shell and stuffed it into Jiang Jing's hand. She arranged, "Master Du and Jiang Jing, go over the wall and find out where Uncle is. If he's inside, give us a signal and Master Qian and I will report to the police. You stay by Uncle's side."
The four of them discussed it and decided it was feasible.
Soon, the two found Jiang Jinyou in the woodshed in the backyard. Jiang Jing looked at his father who was tied up and looked uncomfortable. He clenched his fists and almost couldn't help but rush in. Fortunately, he thought of Jiusu's plan.
He couldn't let anyone down, not even the few people who helped him tonight.
"Walk."
Cuckoo.
Birds chirped from within the courtyard wall. Jiusu and Qian Junjie hurried towards the government office. On the way, they met Chang Bo and Kou Shao and others. She instructed them, "Kou Shao, go back and tell your aunt that they've found us. Chang Bo, please bring some people to watch the road nearby and don't let them escape."
Qian Junjie asked: "This is a dog official."
"A dog official is still an official, and a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake." Jiusu said calmly, "After all, this is also the dog county magistrate's territory. When the time comes, you put pressure on me, and I will pua."
"What does PUA mean?" he asked.
Jiusu raised the corner of his mouth, "When the time comes, you'll know."
The yamen runner frowned, wondering why so many people came today. Seeing Jiusu and Qian Junjie, he didn't dare to act rashly. One was the wife of a former general, and the other was the son of the Qian family. He smiled apologetically and said, "Well, the county magistrate has already gone to bed."
"We have important matters." Jiusu stuffed in a few copper coins. From ancient times to the present, money can make the devil work.
The yamen runner was in a difficult situation, so after thinking for a while, he turned around and called the county magistrate.
Soon, he came out. He sighed and said, "I got slapped, but fortunately the county magistrate agreed to see you."
"..." Jiusu handed over another three copper coins, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Use this money to have a drink."
The bailiff happily let him go and even pointed him in the direction himself. His attitude was more cordial than if he were meeting his own parents.
Magistrate Zhang was dazed, but when he saw the ingot of silver in front of him, he suddenly woke up. He happily took it and saw the visitors, smiling and said, "Two distinguished guests, please come if you want. Bring whatever silver you want."
Jiusu told the whole story.
"We have found the person in Huiming Hall. Please, Mr. County Magistrate, accompany me to find out what is going on and why they kidnapped him without saying a word."
"This..." Magistrate Zhang put down the silver with a listless look on his face. He gave an awkward smile, "To be honest, I'm really afraid of the power behind Huichun Hall. Miss Jiu, you know General Chen, so why not go find him?"
Jiusu said: "We've already divorced, and looking for another one would be cheap."
Qian Junjie crossed his arms and asked in a harsh tone, "County Magistrate Zhang, everyone says you're a good official. Are you also a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong, hiding when things get tough? I'll ask my mother to ask the officials in Shengjing if this is how a county magistrate is supposed to be."
My mother's family is very powerful.
Magistrate Zhang quickly stood up and asked Qian Junjie to sit on the wooden chair. "Oh, my little ancestor, it's just that the owner of Huiming Hall is too powerful. I really don't dare to go. Otherwise, I will go and persuade them to release the fugitive, apologize to him, and compensate him with silver."
