Chapter 368 Don’t judge people by their appearance
In the cell, we eat black-faced steamed buns today.
It's black and hard and can kill someone.
But even so, ordinary people still quarreled and fought over this hard steamed bun.
There is no way, there is only one meal here every day. If you can't eat it today, you have to wait until tomorrow.
But the cell where Xiu Niang was locked up was particularly harmonious.
There were four people in total, but only three steamed buns were given.
Yesterday, I gave four of them, but Xiu Niang didn't get any, and today she didn't even dare to expect them.
However, after the steamed buns were brought over, no one took action. All those people stared at Xiuniang and giggled.
"You guys, you eat first." Xiu Niang said timidly.
Those women looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end they all said in unison: "You first, you first!"
How could Xiu Niang dare to take action? She stepped back and said with an awkward smile: "You guys should go first..."
"Hehe..." A woman with a meaty face said with a smile, "You are a good friend of General Fengxiang, so you should eat first."
When General Fengxiang was mentioned, Xiu Niang understood what was going on.
She was so hungry that she couldn't care less, so she grabbed a black steamed bun and gnawed it.
The women were all so hungry that they gulped down their saliva, but they still didn't dare to take action.
After finishing one, Xiu Niang looked at the remaining two in the bowl and said, "I'm full, you can share these."
"Hey! OK, OK!" The woman with a fleshy face nodded and took one.
While she was eating, she said: "We actually didn't bully you on purpose yesterday. Don't tell General Fengxiang."
Xiu Niang sighed, "You are all poor people too. You don't have enough food and clothing to keep you warm here. You are forced to do so..."
"Ahem! Poor people must be hateful, haven't you heard? I came here because of murder!" said the woman with a sinister face.
Xiu Niang was so frightened that she lowered her eyes and did not dare to speak.
The woman with a sinister face chuckled, "Don't be afraid, I look fierce, but I'm not that fierce. I just eat one meal and skip one meal."
"You..." Xiuniang looked at her in shock.
The woman with a sinister face smiled helplessly, "I am Qiu Hou Wenzhan. I am not as good as you, and there is no general to protect me."
"Then you can still laugh?" Xiu Niang muttered in a low voice.
The woman laughed and said, "Even if I laugh all the time, I won't be funny for a few days."
After saying that, her expression suddenly darkened, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried that no one will take care of my mother..."
For some reason, Xiu Niang suddenly felt a little pity for her...
He Tiantian went home, fed Mianmian, and then changed his clothes, but he still hadn't received the letter from Luo Ping.
So she didn't care about eating and hurried back to the Yamen.
When he saw her, Luo Ping immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I have been busy all afternoon and haven't even bothered to eat. They just came back and I forgot to send someone to invite you."
"It doesn't matter. May I ask the governor, has Dong Gougou been brought back?" He Tiantian glanced at him coldly.
Luo Ping shook his head, "No. The whole village has been searched, but Dong Gou Gou was not found."
After saying that, he looked confused: "If this person cannot be found, it will be difficult to convict Xiu Niang..."
He Tiantian was suddenly startled, and she quickly glanced at Jiang Changgong.
Jiang Changgong was extremely anxious and said loudly: "I did see him last night! Not only is he good-natured, but he also plans to do evil to Zhenniang!"
"Alas!" Luo Ping sighed heavily, "I do believe you. It's just that I am a yamen here, and everything depends on evidence. If it is said that she did not kill anyone, there must be evidence. Now that Dong Gou Gou is missing, I am afraid that this murderer
It’s difficult to cleanse yourself of the crime!”
Jiang Changgong wanted to say it again, but He Tiantian grabbed her and said, "Then if we find Dong Gou Gou and bring him to us, will it count?"
"As long as it's Dong Gou Gou himself, of course it's okay." Luo Ping smiled like a kind old father.
But He Tiantian always felt that there was evil intention in his smile.
Naturally, he was looking for Dong Gou Gou, but He Tiantian couldn't find it in person, so he asked Jiang Changgong to lead the members throughout the village to look for him.
"No! You can't just look for Tianshui Village!" He Tiantian said suddenly, "Dong Gougou has been drinking all day long. He might have gone to where he went after drinking too much. You can take them to search for nearby villages as well."
Jiang Changgong nodded anxiously, "Okay! I'll go back right now, I'll leave you alone."
"Uncle Chang Gong, go quickly!"
Jiang Changgong left in a hurry.
When he returned to Tianshui Village, he immediately dispatched members of Bai Lai Club to look for Dong Gou Gou everywhere.
Luo Ping's people obviously didn't search carefully. In just half a day, Jiang Changgong had already found out that Dong Gou Gou had gone to Chema Village.
Thinking about it, he should have gone to buy wine.
So Jiang Changgong took a few people and went straight to Chema Village.
He did come to Chema Village and bought wine, but it was said that he had already left the village.
Jiang Changgong suddenly felt a headache. Could it be that Dong Gougou had gone somewhere else? If so, how long would Xiu Niang have to stay in prison?
However, he had an even bigger idea.
If something happened to Dong Gou Gou, wouldn't Xiu Niang be able to clear her grievances for the rest of her life?
Thinking of this, Jiang Changgong led people to expand the search area overnight, regardless of physical and mental exhaustion.
This expansion was really found by him.
Dong Gougou didn't know when he fell into a trap, and he didn't know how injured he was. Anyway, everyone called him, but he didn't respond.
Jiang Changgong immediately secretly exclaimed that something was wrong.
"Find a rope! I'll go down and have a look!" Jiang Changgong said anxiously.
One of the members curled his lips and said, "Head, he is not a good person. Why did you save him? It would be better to let him fend for himself here!"
"Alas! You don't know!" Jiang Changgong sighed heavily, "This person is still useful!"
Seeing his resolute attitude, the members had no choice but to find a rope and help Jiang Changgong get into the trap.
"Dong Gou Gou! Dong Gou Gou!" Jiang Changgong called while getting off.
But Dong Gou tilted his head to one side and didn't react at all.
Jiang Changgong looked down while observing.
It looked like Dong's dog's legs were caught in a hunting trap.
The bite force of this kind of animal trap is very strong, and it is possible that it broke the dog's leg.
Apparently, he had been here for a long time and probably died from excessive blood loss.
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Changgong became anxious. He exerted force and the rope broke.
Jiang Changgong fell into the trap. Although he was not high, he sprained his foot.
But he endured the pain and hurriedly went to check on Dong Gou Gou.
He stretched out his hand to feel Dong Gou Gou's breath. It only took him a moment, but he was startled. He quickly felt the pulse of Dong Gou Gou's neck...
Don’t die! Don’t die now!
Jiang Changgong endured the pain and recited silently.
"Chief! How are you?!" The members above were all anxious.
"I'm fine! Find another rope!" Jiang Changgong shouted, "Get him up first!"
