Chapter 198 Did you hide our Changdong?
They are all folks from the town.
The women crying in the front were none other than the Duan couple. Duan Fugui had a gloomy face and knocked on the door without saying a word.
Duan cried in a melodious voice.
Wang Laowu opened the door and looked around, and Duan's crying involuntarily became softer.
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "What are you doing? Why are you knocking on my door?"
Duan Fugui said, "Doctor Jiang, I'm sorry, I want to ask if your Wang Yue is here? Where did he take my son Changdong? When we woke up this morning, we found that Changdong was missing. Someone said that when they woke up at night, they saw your Erbao taking our Changdong walking on the street late at night..."
Jiang Lianzhu frowned and explained, "You don't understand the situation. My son did go out last night, and it was Duan Changdong who came to call him. Duan Changdong said that his sister Duan Xiaoni had been sold to the next town by her parents. He wanted to go to the next town to rescue his sister overnight. He was scared and took my son and his friends with him. My son agreed because of his classmates. Halfway through the journey, he heard a wolf howling, and they were scared and came back home. Hasn't your Duan Changdong returned yet?"
Duan cried, "Our Changdong is as timid as a mouse, how could he dare to go out in the middle of the night? It was your Wang Yue who abducted him. Everyone in Zhishu School knows that your Wang Yue is brave and likes to fight. He beat up several classmates who are older and taller than him. My son usually doesn't even dare to speak loudly to others. He was abducted by your family. All your cubs have returned, but my Changdong is missing. Call your Wang Yue out, I want to ask him face to face...Where did you abduct my son? Did you feed him to the wolves?"
At this time, the two brothers Dabao and Erbao just came out.
Erbao couldn't stand this injustice, "You're talking nonsense! I clearly had good intentions to help Duan Changdong, how could I say I kidnapped him? Last night, I told him to go home first, but he ran away. Later, my parents found us. If you don't believe me, Mao Jiaman can testify that we were both called out by Duan Changdong in the middle of the night because we were helping him."
Jiang Lianzhu and Wang Laowu looked at each other.
Duan Changdong had not left the town at that time, and they had checked the path out of the town.
There were no prints of his little feet.
Later, there were so many people patrolling the town, but he was not found on the streets, nor in his own home. Where did he go?
Could it be that he sneaked out again when everyone else had gone home?
Duan continued to cry, "I heard Changdong say that the young master of that rich family has been your follower for a long time. Last night, you and he came to our house and encouraged our Changdong to go find his sister. You also asked me where his sister was sold. His father came back and knew you were not up to any good, so he drove you away. I feel guilty about it. Our Changdong rarely brings his classmates home to play, but I didn't expect you to kidnap him in the middle of the night!"
"Changdong is the only promising child in our family. If anything happens to Changdong, we won't be able to survive! Oh my God, this will mean the end of me and Lao Duan's life! Cough cough cough!"
At the end of his speech, he started coughing violently.
It was as if he was about to cough out all his internal organs. The other people around him looked at him with pity, yet they tried to avoid him.
Jiang Lianzhu took a look and found that Duan Shi was probably suffering from tuberculosis, and it had been a long-term disease for many years.
Duan's coughing scared Erbao.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "We didn't kidnap Duan Changdong. It was Duan Changdong who asked to go to Wuli Town to look for his sister. He was scared and asked us for help. If Duan Changdong is not at home, he might have gone to Wuli Town."
Duan was still coughing, and Jiang Lianzhu pulled Erbao behind her.
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease. Under the medical conditions in ancient times, it was difficult to cure the disease.
It is mainly transmitted through droplets.
Children have low resistance, so be careful.
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Brother Duan, Changdong is missing. I know you're worried too. I'm trying to put my heart in yours, but my son is speaking for me. I believe my son is a kind-hearted person who often helps others in school. However, no matter how kind-hearted a person is, it's impossible for two children to be so ruthless in the dark of night to go look for someone else's sister whom they've never met."
When everyone heard this, they all thought it made sense.
She is not your own sister, and you have never even met her. How could she do this?
Even Duan Fugui had a puzzled look on his face.
By this time, Duan's cough had subsided.
She continued, "The head of the family is this kid. You saw him last night. He was the one who instigated Chang Dong to borrow two taels of silver. Who else could it be but them? And there were wolves out again last night. Chang Dong is in great danger!"
Wang Laowu said solemnly, "How about this? I suggest you report it to the government immediately and have them send someone to help you search Wuli Town. The government has special tools and can run fast on horseback. They'll be there in less than half an incense stick of time..."
Duan shook her head. "I don't believe our Changdong has the courage to go to Wuli Town in the middle of the night. You must have done something to him. Let us go into the house and find out if you have hidden our Changdong."
Having said that, he wanted to rush straight into Jiang's Clinic.
He was stopped by Jiang Lianzhu.
"Are you trying to break into a private house? Sorry, you can't come in."
Just at this moment, the two brothers of the Hu family came with the yamen runners.
"Let's get out of the way, everyone. We're going to report the Duan family to the authorities. Duan Changdong is missing, and the Jiang Clinic is a particularly strong suspect. Only the officials can bring justice to us ordinary people..."
The crowd made way for two yamen runners armed with swords to come over.
The two Hu brothers were very proud of themselves. They were caught by Jiang Lianzhu a few days ago and reported Master Qian. They were beaten half to death by Master Qian. But two days later, they were able to get out of bed and were full of energy again. They had suffered a great loss and had been looking for an opportunity to find fault with Jiang's Clinic, but they didn't dare to make trouble again. Now that the Duan family came to cause trouble for Jiang's Clinic, they happened to meet them on the road and were the first to join the crowd of onlookers.
He also acted as a caring citizen and helped the Duan family report the matter to the authorities.
They knew that without the presence of the official, it would be impossible to enter Jiang Lianzhu and Wang Laowu's home no matter how many people there were.
The two yamen runners were familiar faces, and naturally they were also acquaintances of Jiang Lianzhu and the others, so they explained their purpose.
"Wang Laowu, Doctor Jiang, Duan Changdong's disappearance has something to do with your family. We naturally don't believe that it was your family who abducted Duan Changdong. However, in order to dispel the suspicion of the people, we suggest that we search the house. This way, everyone can rest assured that you will not be wrongly accused again."
