A car accident, our family of three crossed

Hang Shuheng saw that the other party came with ill intentions and was determined to gain the upper hand, so he knew that he had to go to the yamen.

It's no wonder that Wan Baolu set up this trap. He himself didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, he was worried about Song Ning and her son. Wan Baolu had always coveted Song Ning, and he was afraid that he would do something when he was away.

"Let's go! Don't waste our time." The leading constable began to urge again.

Hearing the constable's urging, Song Ning couldn't help but tighten her grip on Hang Shuheng's hand. Hang Shuheng sensed her uneasiness, and shook her hand back, saying to the constable, "Please wait for a moment, so I can talk to my family."

"Hurry up, we don't have much time." The leading constable waved his hand impatiently.

"Thank you."

Hang Shuheng held Song Ning's hand and whispered, "Don't worry. I'm a scholar after all. They won't do anything to me blatantly. I'll act according to the situation. But you should be careful of Wan Baolu and Zhang Cuiju. They are not good people. I'm more worried about you."

Song Ning's eyes were red, and she couldn't say a word. She held Hang Shuheng's hands tightly and didn't let go. Hang Shuheng sighed and said, "Take care of yourself and the child."

"Daddy, don't go. I don't want you to go." Yangyang rushed over and hugged Hang Shuheng's legs and said.

"Don't be afraid, Yangyang. Daddy will be back soon. You have to listen to mommy at home, okay?"

He patted the child's head, looked at Song Ning deeply, and then turned to the old clan leader and the village head, "Uncle, uncle village head, I'll trouble you two elders to take care of the family while I'm away."

The two elders readily agreed, and the head of the village blamed himself, saying, "Shuheng, all this is because of Tiesheng. It's our family that has implicated you! If you don't stand up for us..."

Hang Shuheng interrupted him and said, "Uncle, please don't think too much. Wan Baolu and I have had a feud. This time he is coming for me. Regardless of whether Brother Tiesheng has something to do with it or not, it is only a matter of time before he will deal with me."

No matter what he said, the village head always believed that he was implicated by his own family.

Seeing that there was no hope, the old clan leader could only pat his chest and take charge of the family affairs to ease his mind. "Shuheng, don't worry about the family. With your uncle here, he will definitely not let them and their son be bullied. But now that you have entered the government, everything depends on you to act according to circumstances."

"Don't worry, uncle. I know what's going on."

The constable on the other end had already run out of patience and began to urge, "Are you done? Hurry up, it's time to go."

As soon as Hang Shuheng moved, his hands and feet were firmly grasped by his wife and children. He felt distressed and helpless, "Aning! Let go, I will be back soon, nothing will happen."

Song Ning understood that if she held on to him, it would be a meaningless struggle, and the final outcome would be the same. Hang Shuheng pulled his hand out of hers, and although she was reluctant, she did not insist.

Struggling was useless, so she could only be strong, at least so that he wouldn't be distracted by thinking about home when he was away. She picked up Yangyang and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and the child."

Hang Shuheng touched the child's head, then stroked her face, and when the constable urged him again, he turned and walked away.

"Let's go."

Hang's mother, who had been hiding in the house since the arrival of the officials, now understood what was going on and could no longer hide. She ran out and grabbed Hang Shuheng, "Shuheng, you can't go. If you go to the government office and don't come back, how can I live?"

In the minds of many country people, once someone is arrested and taken to the government office, there is a high chance that they will never be able to return.

Even though she was a bit of a jerk on a daily basis, her son was still her last hope. If she lost her son, she would lose her only hope.

The leading constable was already getting impatient, and he didn't expect an old woman to come out and get in the way. He pulled out the sword he had just put into the sheath, pointed at her and shouted angrily: "If you dare to interfere with our work again, I will arrest you as well."

Mother Hang was horrified and quickly let go of Hang Shuheng. She stepped back repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life, I don't dare to do it anymore, don't catch me, don't catch me..."

When comparing her own life with her son's being captured, she decisively chose to protect herself, and others didn't even have the time to despise her.

"I advise you not to get too close to your niece. You'd better take care of yourself!" Hang Shuheng just warned her lightly.

At this time, many villagers had gathered outside the yard. Some young men even had weapons in their hands, ready to start a fight if they disagreed.

"What's going on? Are the people in Shangtang Village planning to rebel?" Seeing this, several constables drew their swords.

The old clan leader and the village head quickly stepped out to mediate the atmosphere, "Everyone, please stop crowding here and make way."

The crowd hesitated for a moment, and finally split into two, leaving a passage in the middle.

Several constables led Hang Shuheng through the crowd, but just as they walked out, someone shouted from behind, "Officer, please wait a moment."

"Are you done yet? Are you going to force us to use force?" The constable turned around and roared.

Song Ning came over, stuffed a purse into his hand, and said, "My husband is a scholar, please don't embarrass him. I see that you are all walking here, so why don't we send a bullock cart from our village to take you all there."

The constable weighed the purse and thought that this country woman had some tact. When he heard her say that they would be sent by ox cart, he could not help but look at her more.

"This is really strange. I have been a detective for many years and have arrested many people, but this is the first time I have seen someone make such a request. Are you eager to send your husband to the government office as soon as possible?"

"Sir, you have misunderstood. I just feel sorry for my husband. It will probably take an hour or so to walk to the county town. It would be easier if we could take a ox cart." Song Ning said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You are a very thoughtful woman."

Riding in a ox cart is naturally much better than walking, so there is no reason for them to refuse.
