Chapter 107: The prefect actually came to the Su family
Xiao Tangbao was also worried that County Magistrate Zheng might say something shocking again, so he quickly pointed at Xia Siya and introduced her.
"Uncle County Magistrate, this Sister Siya is the daughter of the prefectural governor."
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
An expression as if struck by lightning.
Looking at Xia Siya, then at the Su family, and then thinking about what he had just said, he wished he could cut off his tongue.
Who could have imagined that this child wearing a boy's coarse cloth with patches on her clothes was actually the prefect's daughter?
It’s no wonder that County Magistrate Zheng couldn’t imagine that the clothes Xia Siya was wearing now belonged to Erpan.
Her own clothes were already torn and tattered, and there were no girls of her age in the Su family.
So, Old Mrs. Su asked Qian Yuemei to get a set of Erpan's clothes.
Qian Yuemei was so petty that she would never be willing to give good clothes to a child of unknown origin.
He directly found a set of patched, washed-white coarse cloth clothes from Erpan's old clothes and gave it to Xia Siya.
At this moment, not to mention that County Magistrate Zheng looked as if he had been struck by lightning, Qian Yuemei, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, also looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
Qian Yuemei regrets it!
I regret it so much that I want to bang my head against the wall!
What a great opportunity to please the magistrate's daughter!
How could she mess it up?!
What should she do if the prefect's daughter becomes jealous of her because of this old dress?
Inside the room, Xia Siya looked at County Magistrate Zheng with a serious expression on her face. She said righteously, "My father has always been fair and just. Even if something bad happened to me, he would never take his anger out on you, unless you were handling the case poorly, neglecting your duties, or being dishonest."
County Magistrate Zheng said, "...Miss Xia is absolutely right."
Although he was taught a lesson by a little girl, he did not dare to refute her.
I feel so sad.
There must have been water in his head just now, so he was talking nonsense.
It has to be said that County Magistrate Zheng was also a smooth official.
Under normal circumstances, I would never make such a verbal mistake.
However, I was working on a case all night last night and I felt dizzy and headache.
In addition, after further investigation, they discovered that the most important daughter of the prefect was not among the rescued children.
This was a big shock.
So he hurried to the Su family.
My mind was confused and I blurted out all the pain and worry in my heart.
County Magistrate Zheng smiled bitterly.
Xiao Tangbao looked at County Magistrate Zheng with sympathy.
Then he took out a jade pendant with longevity patterns from his small pocket and handed it over.
"Uncle County Magistrate, this is from that hunchbacked villain. It should be considered dirty."
After saying that, he added another sentence.
"That bad guy must have stolen it or robbed it."
County Magistrate Zheng took the jade pendant and looked at it, and completely agreed with Xiao Tangbao's words.
This jade pendant is crystal clear and lustrous, and is the finest imperial green.
Although the carving is not satisfactory, the jade is of a rare quality and is priceless.
How could an ordinary person have such a jade pendant?
Regardless, it's definitely dirt.
"Is this the Su family?"
At this time, another inquiring voice came from the yard.
Xia Siya's eyes lit up.
"My dad is here!"
Everyone: “…”
What does it mean?
Your dad?
Isn’t your father the prefect?
wrong!
The prefect is here!
"Hurry! Come with me to welcome the prefect!" County Magistrate Zheng shouted.
Old Man Su's heart was pounding, and he said quickly, "Yes, yes, come and welcome the prefect!"
Then, he led his sons and rushed out with County Magistrate Zheng.
I have to say, Su Dahu and his brothers are okay.
Su Sihu was a little confused.
He was a little confused when County Magistrate Zheng walked in.
Not only was he confused, but Fourth Sister Su was even more confused.
Especially Su Si's wife Li Shuying, she was completely confused.
She never expected that when the county magistrate came to her mother-in-law's house, he was not only humble but also very familiar.
And now, the prefect has also come.
When did the threshold of my mother-in-law's house become so high?
Li Shuying's heart was pounding.
Xiao Tangbao looked at Xia Siya.
Xia Siya's face was full of joy, her eyes were shining, and she jumped off the kang and ran out.
Little Tangbao looked at the hot and fragrant meat buns on the table with regret.
Why is it so difficult for her to have a meal?
Okay, take another bite.
Little Tangbao lost no time and took a big bite.
Here, the Su family's yard was already full of people.
As for outside the yard, there were even more people.
After all, although the people of Daliushu Village did not know the prefect, they knew that he was wearing an official robe.
What's more, behind the prefect were two rows of majestic yamen runners.
This show is definitely much grander than that of County Magistrate Zheng.
Such a big shot came to the old Su family, and the whole Daliushu Village was in an uproar again.
Everyone wants to see what a big shot looks like, right?
"Zheng Ming, the Magistrate of Fengqi County, greets the Prefect."
"I, Su Zhengyang, greet the prefect."
County Magistrate Zheng and Old Man Su hurried to pay their respects to Prefect Xia.
Magistrate Xia, dressed in a maroon official robe, nodded solemnly and was about to speak when Xia Siya ran out.
"father!"
"Ya'er?"
“Dad… wuwu…”
Xia Siya threw herself into the arms of Governor Xia and burst into tears.
