Chapter 249: Provincial Governor
Captain Feng opened the cell door and asked his brothers to move in the things Qin Huiyin had sent, and then he reorganized the cell for them.
Although Captain Feng also gave them special care and made their cells much cleaner and tidier than other cells, they did not have the financial resources to buy such good daily necessities. Qin Huiyin took everything into consideration, including bedding, food, daily necessities, and books to pass the time. It seemed that she was going to settle here for a long time.
The prison was tidier and cleaner. The originally empty prison now looked like a warm little home.
Qin Huiyin put down the basket she was carrying, opened the lid, and took out the six dishes inside.
"Sister Huiyin, you are so thoughtful." Jiang Qibin was almost moved to tears. "I was just saying I was envious of your cooking skills, but I didn't expect my wish to come true so soon."
"I'll bring you food tomorrow." Qin Huiyin said, "Take your time to eat."
Song Ruize said calmly, "Don't come. This is a prison, it's full of blood and yin energy. If you come here as a girl, be careful not to have nightmares when you go back."
"Yes, don't listen to him. He has gained a lot of weight recently. If he eats any more, he will turn into a pig." Zhou Jinyuan said to Jiang Qibin with disdain.
"I'm fine. The elder brothers in the county government take special care of me. With them protecting me, I won't be afraid." Qin Huiyin said, "I can't help you with anything else, but at least I can make sure you eat better. As long as I see that you are doing well, I can rest assured."
A bailiff came in and said a few words to Captain Feng.
Captain Feng's face changed drastically. He strode over and said to Qin Huiyin, "Sister, a new governor has arrived, and he is here for this case."
"I'll leave right away." Qin Huiyin understood that the new official had an unknown temperament and his intentions were unclear, so the entire yamen had to deal with him carefully.
"Not only do we have to leave, we have to take those things back as well. The new officials don't know the Song brothers as well as the county magistrate and Lord Wen do. If they have preconceived ideas and see that they are treated so well in the prison, they will probably think that the entire government is protecting them, and their impression of them will be even worse."
Qin Huiyin looked around and felt distressed. However, she understood that Captain Feng was right. Before she understood the governor's temperament, she had better behave herself.
So, the things that had just been moved in had not yet been used, and now they had to be sent back intact.
"Brothers, come and help." Captain Feng urged, "Sister Huiyin, talk to your brother for a few more words, then you have to leave. Don't come over here recently."
"elder brother……"
Song Ruize touched the top of her head and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll be fine."
"How can I help you?"
"I have people outside. Skinny Monkey and the others, you know, they can help me with a lot of things. I'll be fine, you just need to wait outside for me to come out and then go horseback riding with me. I asked you to go horseback riding last time, but we never had the chance."
"good."
Captain Feng started to urge again.
Qin Huiyin picked up the basket and prepared to leave.
The table was moved away and the food had to be placed on the floor.
Captain Feng instructed several yamen runners to watch this side and take away the bowls and chopsticks after they finished eating.
Captain Feng sent Qin Huiyin out and told her not to come over in the next few days. In addition, they would definitely find a way to help him investigate clues and clear him of suspicion.
"Brother Feng, can you help me find out about the personality and reputation of this governor?" Qin Huiyin said, "I'm a little worried."
"Don't worry, the county magistrate and Lord Wen both rely on Song Ruize very much and will definitely protect him. I'll send you here, and you should be careful when you return."
Li Taohua stretched her neck to look at the door.
Tang Yichen came out with tea and said, "Aunt Li, you've been waiting here for half an hour. Drink some water to moisten your throat and calm your mood."
"I should have gone with her. How could I let her go to a place like prison alone? I was so confused at the time that I didn't think about it much." Li Taohua said angrily.
"Yinyin is the pillar of our family. We are used to following her orders, so whatever she says is what counts, and we hardly consider anything else. Aunt Li, everyone at the county government is an acquaintance, so she will be fine. I think she probably forgot the time while talking to them in jail, and stayed there for a little while. She will be back soon."
"Have you heard about what happened at the dam in the academy? Do you know anything about it?"
"Everyone is busy with their studies and rarely leaves the academy. How would they know what's happening outside? Even if there are some rumors, they are almost the same as what's happening outside," said Tang Yichen.
"Yinyin is back." Tang Luwu said, pointing ahead.
Qin Huiyin drove the carriage back.
Li Taohua hurried forward to meet him.
Qin Huiyin stopped the carriage and said to the waiter next to him, "Go in and call a few people to help me move the things."
Li Taohua opened the curtain and saw that the things she had just sent over had returned intact. She frowned and said, "Why are they brought back again? Did the government not allow you to visit Song Ruize? Is what he did this time true? Did he really kill people, and kill more than a dozen people? If so, I won't give him these things even if I burn them."
"Mom, don't get excited. He was wrongly accused." Qin Huiyin said, "The reason why we brought the things back is because a governor appeared. The government is guarding them more strictly. We dare not leave these things behind, fearing that the governor will interrogate my brother at any time."
"All of a sudden, here comes another high-ranking official, making everything so chaotic." Li Taohua was obviously disgusted with the 'high-ranking official'.
Tang Yichen said, "You must be tired. The food is warm. I'll bring it out for you."
Qin Huiyin was indeed hungry and ate the warm food in big mouthfuls.
Li Taohua was worried that she would get stuck in a rut, but now seeing her like this, she doesn't have to worry anymore.
"I can't interfere with government affairs, and I can't help with anything else. I can only take good care of the business and make more money. Who knows when the money will be needed. I also have to take good care of the people in the snack shop. Those people are refugees taken in by my brother. When my brother comes out, he will see that everything is the same as when he went in, and he will worry less."
"Brother Chen, how is your new classmate doing recently? Why haven't I seen him come to eat?" Li Taohua said, "He gave us so much money during the Chinese New Year, and we were still thinking about taking care of his three meals a day. When he leaves here and returns to the capital, we don't have to worry about it anymore."
"He got into a fight not long ago and was punished by the master with thirty strokes of the stick. He is now lying on the bed and can't even get off the ground." Tang Yichen said, "He knew I was coming to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang and asked me to bring him some delicious food. I have already packed it. I will just make him some barbecue and mutton steamed buns later."
"You kid, he got beaten and you still gave him these greasy foods. Let him eat light food during this period, and don't eat those with strong flavors." Li Taohua said.
