However, he had not worked for two days before he was arrested by soldiers and thrown into the county jail.
The reason was that someone saw him beat someone to death.
Nian An thought of that man and his heart suddenly turned cold.
In fact, the man froze to death, but someone saw him fighting with another man, so he was naturally detained.
He felt that this winter was very cold and once again resented going to the western suburbs.
In contrast to him, Lin Yanqing was wrapped in thick fur and warming herself by the fire. Behind the screen, she could hear the conversation between her father Lin Kunyuan and the county magistrate.
"I want to use that piece of land to expand my business..."
"I heard that Mian Yue Fang is very famous recently, and they have lottery tickets, and many people in the city go there to buy them."
"Master Hu, although that place is a refugee camp, it is still under your jurisdiction, right?"
"But those people...are all vicious criminals. If I want to do something, I need some solid evidence, right?"
"Can't we eradicate all evil and get rid of harm to the people?" Lin Yanqing couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out from behind the screen.
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment.
Lin Kunyuan frowned: "Nonsense, I'm talking to the county magistrate, how can you butt in? Go in!"
"That's right! What's the point of talking about reason when dealing with bullies who oppress the people? Are you afraid of bullies?" Lin Yanqing felt that he was very reasonable.
County Magistrate Hu was a little embarrassed. He was really afraid. His life was at stake. If he arrested people without any evidence, and those evil people resisted, something bad would happen.
"Enough! Sir Hu, please forgive me, my daughter is really naughty." Lin Kunyuan apologized.
Lin Yanqing pouted: "Just leave if you want to. You are not as good as me. Fang Zhiyi's son followed me, and I turned against him at the drop of a hat."
When these words came out, County Magistrate Hu's eyes widened, and Lin Kunyuan was also surprised: "What did you say?"
Lin Yanqing turned around in confusion, his face full of bewilderment: "What what?"
Nian An didn't expect that when he was about to freeze to death, the jailer took him out. Facing the county magistrate's interrogation, Nian An's mind was now full of survival, so he poured out everything he knew.
"Are you willing to redeem yourself from your crime?" The county magistrate narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy.
Nian An nodded repeatedly before asking, "What are you doing?"
The county official laughed: "Accusing Fang Zhiyi of robbing government grain! He's exploiting the people and bringing disaster to the area!"
Nian An was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation: "Of course I am willing! For justice! For the people!"
The county official looked at him and muttered in his heart, how come this kid is even more shameless than himself.
No matter what, with this kid's identification, I can ask for more people from above to cooperate in the arrest, which will be much safer.
Lin Yanqing didn't expect to see Nian An again, and in his own home.
"You, you scum, why are you here again!" She was a little excited.
Lin Kunyuan didn't say anything, so Nian An hurriedly explained, "Listen to me! Qing'er!"
This name made Lin Kunyuan look at him sideways.
