Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 427 Reporting to the Official
That night, while the Shen family was still resting, they suddenly heard a fierce knock on the door, and finally a woman started shouting: "Hand over the man!"
Yao Shu thought this voice was very familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that it was the brothel's madam.
Shen Nanshan also stood up in a hurry and was about to open the door when he was stopped by Yao Shu: "Wait a minute, there is a sudden knock on the door so late. What do you think happened?"
"Why don't you open the door and take a look?"
Shen Nanshan has a great heart. No matter what happens, he always wants to help others.
He was not as careful as Yao Shu thought. He frowned slightly and said softly: "Knocking on the door at such a late hour, maybe someone really needs help from us. Why don't you open the door and take a look, in case there is really someone." Wouldn’t it be delayed for urgent matters?”
"We have no neighbors where we live, so who would be knocking on the door so late at night?"
Yao Shu's words awakened Shen Nanshan, and he suddenly realized that there were no people living nearby. If he really wanted to ask for help, he would not find them.
Thinking of this, Shen Nanshan frowned: "Old lady, you are right, what should we do now?"
"Don't be anxious first. Ask carefully through the door."
Yao Shu came to the door and asked loudly: "Who is he?"
"I know that it was Shen Jian'an who secretly hid Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing is our number one person. If you just hide her, don't you plan to give us an explanation?" The old bustard was furious outside the door and looked at her. I felt really angry and anxious when I woke up.
"We didn't see any Xiaoqing today. Is there a misunderstanding? If the person is really missing, you should go and report it to the official as soon as possible. Why bother coming to us?"
After Yao Shu finished speaking, there was no sound from the other side.
The madam also pondered for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "The person is hiding here with you. It is better for me to report to the official than to come directly to you. You hand over the person now, otherwise you will not blame me for being rude."
"No matter how rude you are, we will never open the door for you at this late hour."
The rest of the Shen family also hurried over. Although they didn't know what happened, they saw Yao Shu being so serious and looking at each other, so they didn't dare to say much for a while.
On the contrary, Shen Jian'an vaguely heard the conversation between the two of them and had a rough guess.
"Mom, there must be a misunderstanding when we hid Xiaoqing at home. Why don't we let them in and let's talk if we have anything to say." Shen Jian'an's thoughts were very similar to Shen Nanshan's, and their first reaction was to face each other face to face. Solve the problem.
"No, I don't know how many people are outside. If you let them in so rashly, wouldn't you set yourself on fire? Well, old man, you sneak out through the back door to report to the official, and don't be discovered by others. You and your children are hiding in the room, and there is no solution. Lock the door before it happens and don't come out." Yao Shu looked at Qiao, Zhao and others and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't worry, mother, we will take good care of the child." Several people nodded in agreement, and finally hurried back to the room.
The rest of the people and Yao Shu quietly watched the door to prevent them from entering violently.
People outside were still insisting on opening the door, but Shen Nanshan quickly hurried over with people from the government.
After hearing the arrival of reinforcements, Yao Shu agreed to open the door.
Just as she thought, there was a group of men carrying wooden sticks standing outside. Their faces were full of anxiety and timidity, but because the madam was standing beside them, they had to bravely come to the door.
"Xiao Qing must be hidden by you. After all, only Mr. Shen can't wait to take Xiao Qing away. Today, after Mr. Shen and his friends met with Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing disappeared. If you don't give me a You know, I will never leave easily." The Madam was not afraid of the people in the government, but continued to loudly denounce the Shen family's behavior.
"Since the government officials are here now, it's better to let them comment and see if the Xiaoqing you mentioned is really here with us." Yao Shu said, looking at the government officials aside.
This is in the capital. For better public security, the entire city is divided into several parts, each of which is responsible for each county magistrate.
The capital is not as good as the local area. No matter what happens, the county magistrate needs to be responsible. Why did this happen so late? Naturally, it needs attention.
The county magistrate came in person. Seeing them chattering here, he vaguely understood what was happening.
"What on earth is going on?" The county magistrate frowned and asked in a low voice.
The evil madam first complained, deliberately fabricating charges and slandering the Shen family.
It is really a big deal to lose someone in the capital for no reason, and he is also a famous person.
The county magistrate immediately became nervous and frowned tightly: "Do you have any evidence that the Shen family hid this person?"
Hearing this, the madam remained silent.
She didn't know how to speak for a moment. She was using this excuse to test the Shen family today, but she didn't expect that the Shen family was so difficult to bully.
This is a trick they always use to defraud each other and get a lot of compensation.
Although it is not aboveboard, you can still make a fortune anyway. After all, no one will fight against money. What's more, the people living nearby are either rich or noble, so they will spend money to solve the problem in order not to cause trouble.
But they didn't expect that this time they would hit the iron plate and meet someone they were not easy to mess with.
Thinking of this, the Madam's expression became a little more serious.
The county magistrate also vaguely knew what they were doing, but the background of this brothel was not easy to mess with, so they just turned a blind eye.
But this time, the Shen family is also a key subject of supervision by the court. If the matter becomes a big deal, the court will naturally investigate the matter.
The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and it was hard for the county magistrate to take sides this time.
"Today's matter will naturally come to a conclusion. Before that happens, I hope you can be honest. If I find out that someone among them is lying, I will not take it lightly."
When the county magistrate finished these words, the madam suddenly thumped.
Guilty, he looked at each other with the person next to him, and finally said cautiously: "There may be some misunderstanding in this. I have indeed not found Xiaoqing so far, and there is no evidence that it was the Shen family who did it. Mr. Guan, why not Just let me go back and investigate again, and if there are any more clues, I will definitely report them."
After hearing what the Madam said, the county magistrate seemed relieved.
