Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 648 Unless Your Last Name Is Jiang

There's nothing you can do about it even if you dislike it.

Jiang Sanhe could only tiptoe to the corner. She took off her shoes very quietly and lay facing the wall, for fear of waking them up.

He didn't even dare to take off his clothes and covered himself with a thick quilt for fear that others would know that there was a woman here.

It was cold at night and the room was drafty. Jiang Sanhe fell asleep unknowingly amidst the snoring.

When she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the sound of voices in the room.

"Oh my, why are there still women's shoes? Who brought his wife's shoes? Can't you leave them? Tsk tsk."

"Wow, your shoes are so tattered, why don't you throw them away? They're even more tattered than my shoes."

"Get up quickly, we still have to hurry to Lianshan Town. If it wasn't almost dark when we arrived at Chang'an Town yesterday, the master wouldn't have let us stay here for the night."

"Oh, I'll get dressed right away."

Hearing them talking, Jiang Sanhe didn't dare to show his head.

Only after most people had left the room did she throw back the quilt, get out of bed and put on her shoes.

The shoes that were originally placed beside the bed were kicked to the door by someone, and Jiang Sanhe could only walk over there, hunched over on the cold ground.

"Oh, it's a woman?"

"What woman? Where did this woman come from? Oh, it's really a woman. What is she doing? Why is she here in the room where we men sleep?"

"Why is there a woman living here? What is this waiter doing? Isn't there a big bunk bed across the street where women sleep? If you don't live there, why are you sleeping here? If my wife knew that I slept in the same room with another woman last night, I would be beaten when I go home."

"Isn't it good to have a woman? Isn't it nice to sleep next to a woman?"

"Fragrant your stinky ass!"

Two people saw Jiang Sanhe and screamed in fright.

They even started arguing.

Jiang Sanhe ran away quickly, not even daring to wash her face.

She went straight to the county government office, fearing that she would miss the court session. If her son had already been sentenced, it would be too late.

Fortunately, she came early.

There weren't many people gathered outside the county government office.

Jiang Sanhe squeezed to the front and the voices of the spectators around her reached her ears.

"Have you heard? I heard that the police caught a little thief, he seems to be only ten years old. Tsk tsk, he knows how to steal money at such a young age. I don't know how his family taught him. If this was my son, I would break his legs."

"Maybe all his family members are dead, and no one taught him since he was young, so he just likes to steal."

"When will the court session begin? I'm still waiting to see what the magistrate will say."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I heard it's the end of Chen hour, but it's only the beginning of Chen hour. There are people waiting. Anyway, you and I have nothing to do, so we can just chat."

"What do you think the magistrate will sentence me to do? Will he send me to jail or give me a beating?"

"I really don't know. This is the first time I've seen an official arrest a young boy. Maybe the magistrate has just released him."

"Stop talking nonsense. How could he be released? If he was released, would he be brought to court? The sentence would definitely be severe, perhaps even forced labor."

"A ten-year-old kid is doing corvée labor? Have you drunk too much?"

"..."

These people made all kinds of speculations.

No one knows how Meng Bujiu will judge.

Jiang Sanhe became more and more panicked as he listened.

She grabbed a man who claimed to be the official's cousin and asked, "Big brother, are you the official's cousin? Do you know how to ask the magistrate to release the child? Or what gift can I give?"

"Who are you?" The man looked at her in confusion.

"Oh, I was just passing by and was curious, so I asked. Big brother is so capable, he must know, right?"

Jiang Sanhe pretended that he asked out of curiosity and even started to flatter him.

"Then you really asked the right person. My cousin is an official in the county government. Humph!"

The man has said this sentence five times, otherwise Jiang Sanhe would not have set his sights on him.

After all, this is Chang'an Town, and she is not familiar with it at all.

I don't know anyone.

"I hope you can help me solve this doubt." Jiang Sanhe begged again.

Others also looked at the man curiously.

"Yes, tell me quickly, what does the magistrate like? What gift will make him agree?"

Although these people have not committed any crime, they may be thrown into jail one day. If they knew the magistrate's preferences and gave the right gifts, they might be able to escape.

"Ahem, then I will tell you reluctantly. Our county magistrate is even more ruthless than the previous one. You may not know that he is the biological son of the previous magistrate Meng! Only people like me who have relatives in government can know about this. You are all kept in the dark. The previous magistrate Meng has already become the prefect.

There is a prefect father, our county magistrate, who handles cases as he wants. Have you forgotten? How did the magistrate judge the previous case? I have never seen a prisoner beheaded so quickly. He must be protected by the prefect. I am afraid that he will be beheaded first and then send the case file. As for what to send and how to ask, don't think about it. The county magistrate is very rich. Unless your surname is Jiang!"

The man stroked the short stubble on his chin and spoke in an unfathomable manner.

"What? Our county magistrate is actually the son of County Magistrate Meng? Oh, no wonder, I was wondering why his last name is Meng. I thought it was just a coincidence."

"Both father and son are county magistrates, they are really capable. Look at my disappointing son, he has studied for more than ten years, but he can't even pass the examination to become a student."

"Isn't this something that everyone knows? How come you don't know? When County Magistrate Meng came back after winning the third place in the imperial examination, I went to see him. He was such a handsome man."

"Haha, Old Li, why don't you look at yourself? You can't read a single word. If you hadn't made some money from running the bun shop, would you have been able to send your son to school? He knows more words than you do, that's amazing. People should learn to be content."

"Do you think County Magistrate Meng will be re-elected like his father?"

"I guess so."

The topic suddenly changed direction and shifted to Meng Zhili.

These people are discussing whether Meng Bujiu will be re-elected.

There was suddenly a hint of excitement on Jiang Sanhe's face.

"My last name is Jiang, is that okay? My last name is Jiang, and I'm going to go find the county magistrate. Will he release my son?" Jiang Sanhe was extremely excited.

"What are you doing here? So what if your last name is Jiang? The Jiang I'm talking about is different from the Jiang in your last name. I'm talking about the Jiang family in Lianshan Town. You wouldn't know who it is even if I told you. Why am I talking nonsense to you? Get out of my way."

The man was a little impatient and waved his hand away, ignoring her.

I thought Jiang Sanhe was a crazy woman.

"I do know who the Jiang family you are talking about is. They run the Jiang Family Snack Shop. Their granddaughter is a genius doctor appointed by the emperor himself. What's her name? Yes, it's Fu, Fubao! What a great name! It's Fubao!"
