Chapter 295 Acquittal
The next thing is easy.

Cui Pu not only captured the pirates this time, but also Mr. Wan's wife, Mrs. Ma, and the girl and woman in Mrs. Ma's room were also brought by him 'by the way'.

After some interrogation, Mrs. Wan Ma Shi's wench and mother-in-law had the will to identify the pirate caught in Wan Mansion as Ma Shi's concubine brother.He disappeared after going out to sea with his family in the early years. Everyone regarded him as dead, but in the end he quietly joined the pirate gang.It is also because of his relationship in these years that Wanjia's merchant ships have been robbed by pirates the least number of times.Even if it is robbed every time, it is only a symbolic loss of something, unlike other merchant ships that are always destroyed and killed.

And the death of Mr. Wan Wulang this time is also inseparable from this group of pirates.

"Our leader said that this new county magistrate is a ruthless character. He was able to deal ruthless blows to several squires in Tianchang County before, and when he has gained a firm foothold in Hailing County, he will definitely find a way for himself Make meritorious deeds. Hailing County's agriculture and commerce are developing well in all aspects, and there is no more room for development. Who knows if he is impatient and wants to catch us for meritorious service? He is a bold person, and he will definitely do it!"

"So we thought, instead of worrying that he will attack us every day, it is better for us to act first and drive him out of Hailing County! Then change to a softer county magistrate, so that we don't have to worry about it !"

Faced with Zhou Zhifu's questioning, Ma's concubine brother saw that he could not escape, so he answered honestly: "We are thinking about how to start, and we heard about what happened to the Wan family, so the boss thought about it. Come on, let me discuss it with my younger sister. It just so happens that Wan Wu is about to enter the university these years, and my brother-in-law has the intention of giving all the family business to this son. If this is the case, the son she gave birth to will be useless? We hit it off, and we I directly prescribed medicine to Wan Wu. And the matter has come to this point, and I have threatened the Wan family with us for many years, and my brother-in-law agreed. After Wan Wu died, he came to the government office to report the case. And we Responsible for spreading the news everywhere, arousing the anger of the people, and let the people unite to force the magistrate to solve our serious problem as soon as possible!"

Mrs. Wan fell on the ground and wept bitterly.Master Wan knew that the situation was over, so he quickly knelt down in front of Cui Pu and begged him for forgiveness.

The truth unfolded before our eyes.When the commoners heard that they had been deceived, they were furious. All of them vented their anger on these pirates. It was not enough to yell loudly, and they didn't know where they got a basket of rotten eggs and threw them crackling.There were times when the strength was too strong, even Zhou Zhifu, who was sitting on top, could not be spared.

Zhou Zhifu was anxious and angry, and he patted the gavel tree several times before stopping the movement of his head.

"Okay, now that the pirates have pleaded guilty, and the Wan family has also confessed to the facts, then Mu's murder of Wan Wu is purely a false accusation. The government now acquits Mu and releases him!"

"Prefect Zhou, you are so wise!" Cui Pu shouted immediately when he heard the words, but he just gave him a hasty salute, and hurried to Mu Jiaojiao's side to hold her hand, "Miss, did you hear that, you're fine!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "I heard."

As for the fate of the pirates and the Wan family, these are the prefect Zhou's affairs, and he is too lazy to take care of them.

His defiant performance made Zhou Zhifu breathe again.It's just that the people outside seemed to be infected by their emotions, and they all jumped up in joy.

If he took the opportunity to make trouble at this time, he would have to destroy the cheerful atmosphere of the scene, and be scolded by those who cared about him for being narrow-minded.

Therefore, he could only reluctantly raise the corners of his mouth to apologize.

But at this time, Mrs. Liu San, who had been protecting Liu San, screamed again: "Master, you are awake!"

Everyone looked over there in unison, and they saw Liu San slowly opened his eyes.Although his face was still pale and his eyes were a little slack, his eyeballs could move freely, his hands and feet were moving slowly, and he had already regained his vitality.

Calculating the time, since he fell down to now, isn't it exactly half an hour?
As a result, everyone looked at Mu Jiaojiao with a bit of reverence again—the little lady with such excellent medical skills is probably a fairy who descended from the sky, right?No wonder the people in Tianchang County would rather sacrifice their lives for her. God knows how many lives she has saved before!
Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao have long been used to this look in their eyes.Seeing that Liu San woke up, Cui Pu said: "Prefect Zhou, there should be nothing for us in this court, right? The wife of the lower official is pregnant, and now she has been tortured for half a month, and her body is already very weak..."

Weak ass!For half a month, she lived in the government office, didn't he serve her with good food and drink?He also asked his wife to talk to her every day... Well, it is more appropriate to say that it is supervision.However, he is well aware of Mu Jiaojiao's physical and mental conditions. Has this person ever been weak?If she was really weak, why was she so energetic in saving people just now?

But now, Cui Pu said that she was weak, and Mu Jiaojiao immediately leaned weakly on his shoulder, unable to even stand on his feet.

Zhou Zhifu had no choice but to nod and said: "If you are not interested in the follow-up matters, then hurry back and rest now! Later, the government will order someone to inform you of the result."

"Prefect Zhou, you are the most wise, I believe that you will enforce the law impartially, and will never favor such heinous people!" Cui Pu said immediately.

Prefect Zhou almost vomited blood again.

You have already said that they have committed a heinous crime, so you are forcing me to give a heavy sentence?If the sentence is light, I'm afraid it will not be regarded as impartial law enforcement, right?

Looking around again, the common people seemed to agree with his statement very much, and they all nodded in affirmation.

Magistrate Zhou gritted his teeth, swallowing a mouthful of old blood with great difficulty: "Don't worry, Magistrate Cui. These thieves dare to make the magistrate's wife suffer such a great injustice, and the government will definitely not let them off lightly! "

Hearing his determination, Cui Pu was satisfied, and took Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "Lady, let's go!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "good."

The couple walked away hand in hand.

But it is obviously unrealistic to go back to Hailing County like this now.Fortunately, the Wei family has been sending people to watch here. Seeing that the situation has changed, Mu Yiyi ordered people to prepare a carriage, and now it is time to take them to the Wei residence.It was convenient for Mu Jiaojiao to recuperate, and also for them to wait there to hear the latest news from the government office.

The couple got into the carriage, Cui Pu lifted Mu Jiaojiao's veil immediately, and held her cheeks with both hands: "Let me take a good look at you...you have lost so much weight in just a few days!"

"Aren't you the same?" Mu Jiaojiao rubbed his fingers on his cheeks, gently tracing the outline of his face, "You must not have eaten or drank these days, okay?"

"No way, I sleep when I don't want you." Cui Pu laughed.

Mu Jiaojiao rolled his eyes: "When did you miss me?"

Cui Pu smirked. "There's no time I don't want to."

Mu Jiaojiao was funny and distressed at once, and quickly put a light kiss on his face: "It's been hard for you these few days. In fact, I'm fine in the government office. I only eat, eat and sleep every day, but you are busy running around outside. It's all thanks to you that the matter can be resolved so quickly!"

"After half a month, is it still called fast?" Cui Pu whispered, and hugged her in his arms, "If I really have the ability, you don't even have to suffer such humiliation! After all, it's me It's useless, I didn't protect you from the beginning!"

Well, here we go again.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "Since you know that you are not capable enough now, you should think carefully about how to work hard to make yourself more and more powerful, so that you can protect me in all aspects in the future!"

"Well, I know, now I've started to have an idea." Cui Pu nodded quickly.

Then, the husband and wife naturally leaned together again, pouring out their love for the past half month.For a while, the relationship between the two people was a little closer than before.

Unknowingly, the carriage entered Wei Mansion.When Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao got out of the car, they saw Mu Yiyi, Wei Zhuang and his wife were already waiting there.And there is one more person beside Mu Yi, isn't it Mu Yan who wrote a letter a month and a half ago saying that he would come to Yangzhou?
Seeing that Mu Jiaojiao was carefully helped off the carriage by Cui Pu, and his gaze fell on Mu Jiaojiao's swollen belly, Mu Haojiao seemed to be in a daze for a long time before he said with great reluctance: "It turns out that Sixth Sister, you are really pregnant." up."

Otherwise, did she think that she was giving birth to a child in an excuse to deceive the people in Chang'an City by taking advantage of the convenience of being far away in Yangzhou?
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "Thank you, sister, for your concern. I am indeed pregnant, and my child will be born soon! It happens that you are here, sister, so don't forget to go to Hailing County to eat A glass of wedding wine!"

"Of course I want to eat this wedding wine. Right now, I'm afraid I'll have to live in Yangzhou for a while!" Mu Yulu smiled dryly and nodded, putting one hand on his lower back in a similar manner.

Seeing her bulging forward in a seemingly non-existent manner, Mu Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, and his eyes swept over her face again, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
