NOVEL WEB Chapter 8 Uncle and brother are great heroes
Daozhang Ma's medicine was really effective. The next day, the little girl felt much better, her body no longer ached as before, and she could sit and talk to General Xue and his son.
No longer frightened, beaten or starved, the little girl is getting better and better.
After a few days, the wounds on his body gradually healed and scabbed.
Looking at the scars on her body, General Xue was afraid that the little girl would be sad, so he tried to comfort her, "Long Baoer, don't be afraid, these scars will fade away, uncle will find the best medicine for you."
"Uncle, don't be afraid. Long Baoer doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt at all." The little girl tried her best to smile brightly.
But whether it was General Xue, Doctor Song, or Xue Lei, how could they know that she was not in pain.
When I was applying the medicine a few days ago, the little girl was so painful that she shed tears.
But I was afraid that they would find out and feel distressed, so they would lie there and cry silently. When I picked her up with good medicine, I saw a large area of wetness on the pillow, and her little face was covered with tears.
Just like that, I still had to force myself to smile and say it didn't hurt.
How did she know that such a sensible little girl would only make everyone feel more distressed.
Mrs. Xie felt sorry for the little girl and cooked her food in different ways every day. She was not good at much, so she asked the cook in the house to teach her how to cook.
The little girl has new surprises every day.
In addition to the sweet porridge, meat buns and wontons at the beginning, I have also eaten fish noodles, egg custard, beef soup and so on in the past few days. These easy-to-digest and non-greasy meats keep the little girl full every day.
The little girl felt happiness she had never experienced before. Aunt Xie and her brother became the people she looked forward to most, because they would definitely bring delicious food.
But what she loves most is her uncle, because he is a great hero.
In addition, there is Dr. Song, and many others, all of whom are good people in the eyes of the little girl.
In the past few days, Magistrate Xie has been busy interrogating the servants, as well as the drugstore shop owner, to establish a solid chain of evidence, making it impossible for Ji Zhong and his wife to overturn the case.
Magistrate Xie never brought Ji Zhong and Zhuang couple to trial.
First of all, although Ji Zhong is his deputy, he is also the fifth-ranking official of the imperial court. Mr. Xie is cautious by nature and waits for the governor to come before interrogating him.
Secondly, he also secretly ordered his confidants to collect evidence.
This couple is very cruel and vicious. If you hit the snake, you must kill it. You must not give them a chance to stand up.
On this day, Governor Chen finally arrived.
Magistrate Xie hurried out to greet her. General Xue was chatting with his little niece in the room without paying much attention. Listening to those children's words, the wrinkles on his face were smiling a little more.
"General, Governor Chen wants to see you!" A soldier came in to report.
"Let them in!"
The soldiers took the order, and Magistrate Xie and Governor Chen came in together.
General Xue stood up and went outside to meet the guests. Although his rank was higher than Master Chen, he did not put on any airs. After all, Mr. Chen came here for his family's Long Baoer's lawsuit.
Mr. Chen first greeted General Xue, and then the three of them sat down and exchanged a few polite words.
The topic gradually turned to Ji Zhong's case. General Xue did not hide his hatred. He was always known for his outspokenness. The person who was hurt was his close relative, so there was no need to pretend.
"My sister was separated from me many years ago. Later, after she heard about me, she wanted to join me. Who knew that she was deceived by Ji Zhong, sold into the house, and taken as a concubine." General Xue looked at the two of them, "...I My sister was poisoned to death by them, leaving only a little niece alive who was beaten and abused!"
General Xue said a few words briefly, and Magistrate Xie who accompanied him whispered the confessions of the servants of the Ji family and what they saw and heard at the scene that day.
As for how General Xue beat Ji Zhong, that is none of his business. If this kind of scumbag was not killed on the spot, General Xue would be considered very sensible.
With Magistrate Xie at his side, Mr. Chen quickly understood the matter.
"Can you meet General Xue's niece?" Master Chen asked.
"This...I know you want to see the injury, but although my niece is young, she is a girl after all." A girl's reputation is very important, how can General Xue agree to it.
"Dad, let them meet you!" Xue Lei came out and greeted the adults first, then turned to look at General Xue and said, "I think the adults will understand everything when they see it."
General Xue thought for a while, "Okay!"
Soon the little girl was led out by Xue Lei.
It wasn't that Xue Lei didn't want to hold his sister, but that the little girl was injured and it was best to leave on her own.
Long Baoer has been raised for three or four days now and is already able to go to the ground, and his face is a little flushed.
In three or four days, one person cannot gain weight.
So when he saw Long Er, Mr. Chen stood up subconsciously, with an extremely angry look on his face.
At his age, he naturally has children at home, but he has never seen such a thin child.
Xue Lei blocked Long Baoer behind him and said, "Master Chen, please sit down. My sister was almost whipped to death by Na Ji Zhong. She is quite afraid of adult men."
"That's right." Mr. Chen had no choice but to sit down, almost scolding Ji Zhong to death in his heart.
A dignified fifth-rank official, I heard that he had many wives, concubines, and servants at home, but he raised a child so thin that he probably never had enough to eat.
How despicable and vicious such people are!
When Xue Lei silently rolled up one of Long Er's sleeves, revealing those hideous and ugly scars, he said lightly, "The scars on the arms are not as good as those on the body."
Seeing the arm was already shocking. After hearing Xue Lei's words, Mr. Chen could no longer suppress his anger.
"Beast! Beast!" Mr. Chen yelled. "To do such a cruel thing to a child is simply insane!"
Xue Lei bowed to Mr. Chen and took the little girl back to the inner room.
"Brother, who is that person?" Long Baoer looked up at Xue Lei curiously.
"I'm here to avenge Long Baoer."
The little girl widened her eyes and shouted, but she actually didn't understand.
Xue Lei smiled and said seriously, "Does Long Baoer hate them?"
The little girl looked at Xue Lei blankly.
Xue Lei sighed secretly, why was he saying such things to such a young child. Such a young child knows nothing about love or hate.
"Long Bao'er doesn't have to think about anything. Just live happily every day from now on." Xue Lei hugged the little girl gently.
"Brother, Long Baoer is not afraid!" The little girl imitated Xue Lei and hugged back, instantly making Xue Lei fly with joy.
"Uncle and brother are great heroes and good people. They can help Long Baoer fight off the bad guys!"
"Yes, those bad people will be punished for their evil deeds." Xue Lei said very softly, but said every word.
Outside, General Xue and others chatted for a few words, got up and left the courtyard to go to the lobby to formally interrogate Ji Zhong.
