Chapter 44 Inquiry

Jinghan went to the county town with her father and Uncle Lin. Fortunately, there were cars to go back to the county town in the afternoon. In this era, there were cars specially designed to pull the horses, and they waited in the county town at a fixed time every day. Sometimes many people would come to this town, and in the afternoon, some would have to go back and forth, so that they could make some money.

Jinghan was sitting in the car, and there were a lot of people sitting on it. Zhixin was afraid that Jinghan would fall, so he hugged Jinghan tightly, "Jinghan, you have to be careful. There are many people today, don't squeeze into the car."

Jinghan felt very relieved when he was nestled in his father's arms. The weather was still quite cold at the end of February, and he couldn't feel cold at all in his father's arms. He looked around with big eyes. At this time, the mountain was still bare and nothing was left.

It took more than two hours on the way to reach the county town. Zhixin had been here before, and knew Zhiming's house, got off the carriage, gave the driver the fare, and then the three of them walked to Zhiming's house. When they arrived at Zhiming's house, they took out the keys and opened the door. The house was cleaned up. Zhixin quickly took some firewood in first, boiled the kang, and then went out with Lin Xing's family. They were going to Lin Zixuan's aunt's house. At this time, Zixuan's uncle should be at home. Before leaving, they told Jinghan to cook the food. Fortunately, Zhu also lived a life, and there was a lot of firewood at home, and there was no shortage of rice and flour. Zhixin was not worried. He locked the door when he went out so that he would not be afraid of anyone coming.

Seeing that his father had already lit the fire, Jinghan started cooking. In fact, Jinghan knew how to cook in his previous life, after all, he lived his own life later. Xue taught Jinghan a lot this time, so it was okay to cook something.

Zhu's family also has some corn stalks and corn flour, but there are not many rice. Jinghan scooped out some corn flour and corn flour, and planned to cook some small stalks and make some cakes at night. In addition, he found a pickle jar and took out two pieces of pickle from it. He had to put it in tonight.

Jinghan first burned corn flour, pasted pancakes on the edge of the pot, then added water to another pot, put it in the cleaned crumbs, and started cooking porridge. After working for more than half an hour, the pancakes were ready, and the porridge here was almost done. Jinghan shoveled the pancakes one by one into the basin, and then found another basin to put the porridge out.

When Jinghan brought all the rice to the table, Zhixin came back from outside. Lin Xing's family did not come back, probably stayed at his sister's house. Zhixin entered the house and saw, "Oh, is my girl quite capable? She has prepared all the rice so soon. Come, let's have something for both of us. Zixuan's aunt said she wanted to keep me there for food, but I said you are still at home and you are worried, so they asked me to come back. Tomorrow we have to invite Zixuan's uncle to a meal, and there are people in the yamen, so we have to invite him." Zhixin sat down, Jinghan served his father porridge, and then took the cakes, and the father and daughter started eating.

"Dad, have you asked Brother Zixuan's uncle? What's going on?" Jinghan asked while eating.

Zhixin nodded, "I asked, Zixuan's uncle knows a lot about this. Some things are not easy to know about, a girl, so my father won't tell you. It's not easy to deal with, so I have to talk about it tomorrow."

It turned out that Zhixin and Xingjia went to Aunt Zixuan's place together. Zhixin specially bought some snacks and carried tea and other things over. It happened that Zixuan's uncle was at home and was quite clear about this matter, so he told them. Zhiming was treating Master Qin's third concubine at that time. This concubine had nothing wrong with it, but she was pregnant. Master Qin was in his forties and had a hard time residing and had no son. The concubine was pregnant.

After vomiting all day, Master Qin called Zhiming over to see if he could prescribe some medicine and relieve it. After reading it, Zhiming prescribed it and went home. Unexpectedly, the concubine took the medicine and had an unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night and actually had an abortion. Now, Master Qin was very angry and insisted that Zhiming pay his life, so he reported it to the official. The people in the county government dared not offend Master Qin, so they arrested Zhiming, and the others almost sealed a Qingtang.

Zixuan's uncle said that tomorrow, he would invite several officials in the county government to have a meal and ask them to help clear the matter with Mr. Qin to see if there is any way to save Zhiming. The key to this matter is still in the Qin Mansion. If the Qin Mansion insists that Zhiming prescribed the medicine is wrong and intentionally harming people, it will be difficult to deal with it. Because they found the ingredients that can cause miscarriage in the residue of the medicine, and there is also this medicine in the prescription.

After dinner, the father and daughter cleaned up and went to bed.

The next day, Zixuan's uncle made an appointment with a chief clerk in the yamen and another chief inspector, and had a meal in a larger restaurant in the county town. At the banquet, the chief inspector said that he could help and see the attitude of the Qin Mansion. He also said that he could find a way to let Zhixin go in and see Zhiming, "In this way, brother Xu, you will wait for me in the afternoon, and I will take you in to see your younger brother. This matter is, whether it is big or small, we also asked someone to ask, there will be no problem with the small amount of medicine. Who knows why the concubine of Mr. Qin carries such a small amount of medicine? But she has problems after taking it. It is because your younger brother is not lucky that this is the one who has this problem. However, brother Xu, you have to prepare this money. I guess even if you can rescue Brother Ling this time, I will have to spend some money."

After hearing this, Zhixin quickly said, "No matter how much it costs, as long as it can be rescued by my younger brother. All the elderly in this family are anxious and sick. If something happens to my brother again, it will kill the elderly."

"Okay, then you can go and see your brother in the afternoon. I will talk to the prison chief in the prison." The chief chief was a happy person.

After the banquet, the people were about to leave. Zhixin took advantage of the time he went to see them off and stuffed ten taels of silver to each of the two. The two of them took the silver in their hands and left with a smile.

In the afternoon, Jiaxing accompanied Zhixin to the prison. After some treatment, he finally saw Zhiming. Zhiming had not used torture or anything else, but this prison was not a place for good people to stay. Zhiming had only been there for two days and was no longer in appearance. When the two brothers met, Zhiming said that the prescription he prescribed would not have any problems.

Zhixin sighed, "Third brother, it's not enough for us to say that there is no problem now. After all, they have no children, and there is this medicine in your prescription. What do you say about this? Just admit it and you are unlucky. We will find a way to save you and let me talk about it later."

Zhiming also knew that even if the matter was done this time, even if he could go out, the doctor would be unable to do it in the future. "Brother, this time I have implicated my family, I'm afraid this matter cannot be solved with a little money. What should I do?"

"What should I do? Even if I sell the bad guys, I have to rescue you. Can I still let you stay here? I will destroy your body in a month without a long time. This is where good people stay? Someone is there, let's talk about the money later." Zhixin advised Zhiming.

At this time, the prison guards in the prison came over, "Okay, okay, the time is up. Go out quickly, it's good to let you in and have a look, hurry up and leave."

Zhixin and Jiaxing came out of the prison and returned to Zhiming's house. When Jinghan saw that his father and uncle were back, she quickly asked, "Dad, what's going on? Is my third uncle saved?"

Zhixin sighed and said, "Wait for the letter, this matter is not urgent."

Naturally, Lin Xingjia has to go back to his sister's place, "Brother, you and Jinghan are waiting here. If there is any news, I will come and tell you. It will take several days for this matter. Just wait patiently, don't be anxious, it's useless to be anxious."

Zhixin sent Jiaxing out, "Jiaxing, thanks to your brother-in-law, when Zhiming is rescued, I will thank you very much, and your brother-in-law."

"Brother, what are you saying? We brothers, are you still using such an outlier? Okay, I'll leave." Lin Jiaxing waved his hand and left.

Zhixin and his daughter waited here for three days before the Xing family and his brother-in-law came to find him. "Brother Xu family, Chief Liu asked me to tell you, the Qin family said that as long as you take out 500 taels of silver, the Qin family will not pursue it anymore. You have to think about it. These 500 taels are not a small amount. Ordinary families can't save 500 taels of silver in their lifetime. The Qin family is a bit bullying. Oh, there is no way. Their family is very powerful in the county town. I heard that some of their relatives are officials in the capital, and even those who are officials in the capital city, our county magistrates dare not provoke him, so you can admit that they are unlucky."

When Zhixin heard this, he said, "The amount is too large. We are just a farmer. How can we get so much silver? Forget it, let's go back and find a way. In this way, we will go home quickly and ask the brother-in-law of the Li family to help me say something nice. Please wait for me for a few days. Besides, don't let Zhiming suffer in it. I will find a way to raise money as soon as possible."

Zixuan's uncle nodded, "Brother Xu, don't worry, you and my brother get along well. We are all a family, so I will naturally do my best." After saying this, Zixuan's uncle left first.

Jiaxing looked at Zhixin, "Brother, let's pack up and go home quickly. These five hundred taels are not a small amount. You have to go back and find a way."

"Oh, wait for me, I'll clean up now." Zhixin quickly cleaned up with Jinghan, and then everyone went to find a car to go back to the village.

It just so happened that the car had not left, and there was a seat in the car, so the three of them quickly got into the car. After walking for another two and a half hours along the way, they were considered home. As soon as they entered the yard, Zhu came out, "Brother, you are back, what's going on? Is Zhiming saved?"
