"Village Chief! Everyone has seen what kind of person Madam Tian is!"
Mrs. Yang was extremely anxious.
Madam Tian smiled knowingly: "Aunt Yang, I know what you mean. But don't make things difficult for the village chief. Since someone has died, it's only right to report it to the authorities!"
Hearing Tian Niangzi say this, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent someone to report to the authorities.
However, he did know Madam Tian's character and did not want to offend the Chi family, so he promised:
"Don't worry. If the magistrate questions us, we will tell the truth and plead for you!"
Thank you!
Tian Niangzi bowed deeply to everyone.
As she straightened up, she suddenly said, "Please, please don't talk about what happened today in front of Ya Ya! My daughter, my daughter..."
Tian Niangzi burst into tears.
"Don't worry, Madam Tian! We've watched Ya Ya grow up, how could she do such a despicable thing?"
"That's right, we'll all lend a hand."
Most of the villagers are still very kind.
Finally, the officials arrived and took Tian Niangzi away, along with Ya Ya, Tian Laifu, and the Yang family.
Tian Niangzi's house was surrounded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
By the time the Chi family learned of this, it was already early the next morning.
Sister-in-law Chi and Chi Tang Silang Xiao Suotou were eating when they heard a servant report.
"Madam Tian has been arrested and thrown into jail for murder."
"What did you say?"
Sister-in-law Chi could hardly believe her ears: "How could Madam Tian kill someone? What exactly happened? Explain yourself!"
In their eyes, Tian Niangzi was gentle and kind, not good with words, but she loved to laugh and was very gentle, as well as meticulous and capable.
Moreover, she has a great love for life and adores her children.
How could a woman like that possibly commit murder?
"yes……"
After hearing the report, Chi Tang dismissed the servants.
She immediately said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the prison to see Madam Tian first, and if possible, bring Ya Ya out."
"Um."
The two women, aunt and sister-in-law, immediately got up and went to the county government office.
Because the Chi family consistently donated money to the county's charitable institutions, making the county magistrate of Pinghe Town's record look very good, the magistrate always gave the Chi family face.
But this matter...
“Madam Chi, it’s not that I’m unwilling to show mercy. It’s just that murder is a serious crime. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, Madam Tian and her family of three cannot be released.”
As for the Li family of three, they were released after being questioned.
Sister-in-law Chi naturally understood this principle: "Of course we wouldn't want to put the adults in a difficult position. We just want to go in and take a look..."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Chi handed a slip of paper to the county magistrate.
After reading it, the magistrate laughed so hard his beard trembled, and he nodded repeatedly:
"That's fine, but it can't take too long."
"Thank you, sir."
The magistrate then found a tinderbox and burned the note.
A servant asked, "Master, what about the Chi family..."
"The Chi family is rich and powerful, so it's best not to offend them if possible. Besides, the Chi family didn't go in for nothing."
But he said he would donate one hundred taels of silver to the county government.
With this hundred taels of silver, he could repair roads or something; that would be a political achievement.
"So, the master had already anticipated that the Chi family would come to visit..."
No wonder they didn't let Tian Niangzi's two children leave.
Although last night's murder was horrific, the facts were clear, and Ms. Tian confessed without hesitation, with neighbors also testifying.
Furthermore, Li Si's fatal wound was the hairpin around his neck, and that hairpin belonged to Tian Niangzi...
Based on all the evidence, the case can be closed.
"Alas! It's not easy to be an official like me! Can't you see that the Chi family is cooperating with me? They only cooperate because they know that I take the money to achieve political achievements and benefit the people."
"How could a mere woman figure this out?"
The servants were somewhat skeptical.
The magistrate, too lazy to waste words with him, simply gave the order: "Release the order, and let Tian Laifu and Tian Ya go this afternoon."
"Yes, but what if the Chi family pleads for Lady Tian..."
"No matter who pleads for leniency, I will uphold the law impartially!"
The magistrate spoke with righteous indignation!
In other areas, he can take shortcuts.
But when it comes to the law, he must be impartial and incorruptible!
"yes."
——
The prison was not as cramped, dark, or damp as I had imagined.
The windows were large and the place was very clean, and there weren't many people inside.
After receiving the money, the jailer waited at the only entrance and exit.
"Madam Tian, what exactly happened?" Sister-in-law Chi asked anxiously.
Tian Niangzi sat on the straw, lost in thought.
Suddenly I heard Sister-in-law Chi's voice, looked up, and could hardly believe it:
"What are you two doing here? This filthy place is unlucky! Get out!"
You can't afford to run into bad luck in business! And Tangtang is still so young!
Tian Niangzi had worked for the Chi family for many years and had long regarded them as her own family!
Seeing a junior member of the family in prison naturally displeased him!
"Get us out of here! Let me out! It really has nothing to do with me! My mother killed him! She's confessed, so why won't you let me out?"
Upon seeing the Chi family members, Tian Laifu excitedly climbed over and reached through the fence, trying to reach them!
Tian Laifu was in a terrible state, his face pale with pain: "It really has nothing to do with me, let me out!"
Why are we arresting him?
"Tian Laifu, are you even human?"
