Zhang Bao walked out of the inner courtyard with Su Xiaoyue.
Tell Su Xiaoyue about the little girl.
I happened to see the little girl sitting timidly on the steps, with a bundle on her knees, her small chin pressed on the bundle, staring at the ground in a daze.
Hear the footsteps of Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue.
Then he stood up in panic.
She was still holding her little old floral cloth bundle tightly in her arms.
He looked at Zhang Bao anxiously.
"This is what I told you, her name is Xiao Cui."
"There are two younger brothers at home who were sold -"
"oops!"
"Why are you dressed so thinly?"
"Come into the house with me quickly!"
Zhang Bao was talking to Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue hurriedly interrupted him, stepped forward, took Xiaocui's hand, and walked towards the house.
Before entering the door, he didn't forget to turn around and glare at Zhang Bao.
That meant, of course, that he was complaining about Zhang Bao for leaving Xiaocui alone in the yard to freeze.
See Xiao Cui.
Su Xiaoyue felt very distressed.
And looking at her age, Xiaocui is five or six years younger than herself.
He immediately went into the house to find some clothes for Xiao Cui to wear, and then asked Sister Li to make some hot food for Xiao Cui.
Xiaocui held a small old floral cloth bundle in her arms and looked at the enthusiastic Su Xiaoyue with a bewildered expression.
For a moment I didn't know what to do.
Before leaving.
Her mother, in tears, packed a small tattered baggage for her, thinking that she could enjoy the blessings of selling her to the home of two well-dressed young men.
The result was unexpected.
It's actually a fire pit!
Not only did he not enjoy any blessings, he was also beaten, scolded and deprived of food.
Now I suddenly came into such a warm atmosphere.
Looking at the concern and distress in Su Xiaoyue's eyes.
I couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and they fell down in a pitter-patter manner.
"Thank you, young lady!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
The simple Xiaocui didn't know how to express her inner gratitude in words, so she could only kowtow.
Su Xiaoyue didn't know what sadness was aroused, and she also squatted in front of Xiaocui and cried.
Zhang Bao, who followed, had a headache.
Just when Zhang Bao was hesitating whether to persuade the two of them.
A rough man walked in from the door.
Seeing Zhang Bao standing there, he went straight to Zhang Bao.
"Is this shopkeeper Zhang's?"
Zhang Bao was stunned.
I have never met this person myself, how do I know myself?
However, people came and quickly handed them over.
"This is it, who are you?"
Zhang Bao looked at the visitor.
He has extremely strong muscles, and even though he is wearing thick clothes, his lines are very clear. His face is covered with unkempt stubble, which makes him look a little haggard, but his eyes are wide and round.
When Su Xiaoyue saw the guests coming, she had already taken Xiaocui to the backyard to settle down.
"I am the Marquis of Ma Jun of Sanhe County, Ma Yuanming!"
"I saw the shopkeeper testifying for my daughter in court today, so I came here to express my gratitude!"
Ma Yuanming raised his hands to Zhang Bao and said.
Zhang Bao was surprised when he saw it.
Who would have thought that the big man in front of him, as strong as an orangutan, would be Ma Yan'er's father?
I have to say that this gene mutation is really powerful!
"This... I'm just telling the truth."
"It's just that today's case has not been decided yet. Miss Ma is still in prison. I feel a little ashamed."
Zhang Bao said apologetically.
"Whatever the shopkeeper said, it's her own fault!"
"Because I know a little bit of boxing and kicking, I've gotten into trouble a lot before!"
"To be honest with the shopkeeper, I came here today just because of my daughter's affairs. I hope the shopkeeper can help me."
Ma Yuanming raised his hands and saluted Zhang Bao.
For the sake of his daughter, Ma Yuanming himself is willing to put up such an old face.
After all, he could only think that the shopkeeper Zhang in front of him could help him, so he didn't mean to look down upon him at all.
"this……"
"Marquis Ma Jun, please come upstairs!"
"Xiaoyue!"
"Send some food and wine!"
Zhang Bao greeted Xiaoyue and led Ma Yuanming to the private room on the second floor.
"I'll tell you this without telling the shopkeeper."
"Ever since Ma received the military order and stationed in Sanhe County, he has been confronting the county magistrate. It's not that Ma is deliberately making things difficult, he just can't stand it."
"If the rebel army comes over one day, Ma will always be responsible for the people of Sanhe County!"
"But unexpectedly, the county magistrate started to hold a grudge."
"When my little girl encountered such a change, the county magistrate took this as a threat to embarrass me!"
"My little girl is suffering in prison. Ma really can't bear it. He wants the shopkeeper to help him put in a good word with the county magistrate so that he can be accommodating."
Ma Yuanming was a martial artist and he was eager to save his daughter, so he didn't bother to beat around the bush.
He immediately explained his purpose to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was not in a hurry to speak.
I guessed that it must be Ma Junhou who heard the conversation between the county magistrate and himself outside the court, so he thought that he and the county magistrate were very familiar with each other.
But Zhang Bao knew it himself.
This is a meal deal.
Moreover, the county magistrate still gave me money and left.
He doesn't owe anything, he can only say that he knows him, but if he wants to persuade the county magistrate, Zhang Bao is not sure about it.
It might even be counterproductive.
It destroyed whatever good impression I had left on the county magistrate.
Since coming to the city.
Zhang Bao finally understood the power of this generation's ruling class.
For everyone.
The county magistrates represent absolute authority!
As long as there is no real uprising, they will definitely surrender to this kind of authority.
Just like Lao He.
They were outside the county government, killing bandits and clamoring to destroy the Li family.
It was all decided that they had no interaction with this kind of authority.
I killed the government servant in order to save my life, but in the end I still found a way to get rid of the bandits.
In the past, when tenants were killed in the village, it was a private status relationship, and the county magistrate had no control over it.
To destroy the Li family, it was a matter for a village, and no one would sue the officials. If he did sue the officials, he would have to run away when the government officials came.
So Lao He, a murderous maniac, honestly hid in a restaurant after entering the city.
It is because of this deep-rooted sense of authority that it is difficult for them to escape.
Once you get out.
It's not far from rebellion...
But Ma Junhou has already come to the door, so it is difficult to evade.
Again.
Ma Yaner, such a beautiful and charming woman, was unjustly imprisoned because of these things, not to mention that it had something to do with her.
At that time, Ma Yaner took action to protect herself.
You absolutely cannot stand by and watch.
Made up my mind.
Zhang Bao said to Ma Junhou: "Ma Junhou, I will tell you what I have to say directly. Miss Ma's matter is also related to me, so I naturally want to help."
"It's just that you also know that the root cause of this matter still lies with you."
"I'll try to find out how the county magistrate speaks first, and I'll figure it out later."
"But first of all, I'd better go to the prison first. The environment there is really bad. I'll send some clothes and food inside first."
"To make Miss Ma suffer less, you can also write a letter and I'll bring it to Miss Ma. Marquis Ma Jun, you'd better not show up for this matter!"
