But Mianmian didn't like him.

Mr. Mo knew that he had missed a good opportunity and was not in a hurry. He believed that as long as he followed Mianmian, sooner or later she would beg him, and that day would not be far away.

Jiang Jixun is going to a place called Jiangling County.

The population reported by Jiangling County to the Ministry of Punishments was very different from last year, and there had been no major natural disasters in Jiangling County. The Ministry of Household Affairs felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

The report was reported to the Ministry of Punishment, but the Ministry of Punishment could not spare any manpower, so the matter was handed over to Dali Temple, and finally it fell on Jiang Jixun.

Jiang Jixun was originally the director of Dali Temple, and being assigned to investigate cases was within the scope of his responsibilities. He had also been assigned to investigate cases before, so he did not feel much pressure.

The real pressure comes from three children.

After leaving the capital, the three children started having fun. They were curious about everything they saw. When they saw a small stream, they wanted to stop and rest for a day.

Jiang Jixun originally refused, but Mr. Mo persuaded him.

So the group walked slowly for nearly half a month before approaching Jiangling County.

But it's only a close distance, Jiangling County is still two days away.

A group of people came to a place called Red Rock Village.

"hiss……"

The horse was frightened and suddenly became restless.

Xiao Xiazi quickly pulled the reins, fearing to wake up the little grandma in the car.

But Mianmian still woke up.

She rolled around in the carriage, her hair was messy on her forehead, cheeks and back of her head. Her fair skin and round cheeks were indescribably lovable.

Mr. Mo covered the corners of his raised mouth with a book.

Hongkui immediately went over and skillfully combed two little knots for her little grandma. A loud noise came and Mianmian finally woke up. Only then did she notice that her eldest cousin and her second cousin were sitting on the shaft of the car. She didn't know.

What are you looking at.

Mianmian came closer and said, "First cousin, second cousin, what are you looking at?"

"Shh..."

Jiang Xuanlin signaled her not to speak and pointed to a place not far ahead.

Mianmian saw a group of people blocking their carriage.

To be precise, there should be sixteen people. If you include the two children following them, there should be eighteen people.

This group of people all have one characteristic: their faces are sallow and their clothes are in tatters. Although it is almost April, the weather is still a bit cold. Aren't you afraid of catching cold while wearing such thin clothes?

The people in front of me looked like beggars at first glance. Some of them were so hungry that they couldn't even pick up weapons. They were more like sticks than weapons.

Mianmian looked at her cousin in surprise: "What's going on?"

Jiang Muyan said with disgust: "The ones who came here to rob don't look like robbers. They are most likely just common people who are dizzy from hunger. My fourth uncle thinks there is something wrong and wants to ask for clarification."

"Why are you asking? How about just arresting them and sending them to the government?" Jiang Xuanlin was eager to try.

"No, look how pitiful they are!" Mianmian felt that they must have their own reasons.

Jiang Muyan: "So what's the matter with pity? There are so many pitiful people in the world. Is it possible that we all should be let go?"

Mianmian insisted on her idea, "My fourth uncle is an official of Dali Temple, and he didn't say anything?"

Jiang Xuanlin said: "That's right, why didn't Fourth Uncle arrest them?"

"Perhaps it was because I found something and then left?" Mianmian said.

Jiang Muyan didn't think so. His fourth uncle might have discovered something wrong by doing this.

At this time, a person in the crowd fainted from hunger.

Mianmian said worriedly: "These people are so pitiful! Hongkui, find out how much food is left in the car."

"Are you crazy? Can't you see that these people are very hungry? If they know that there is food on the carriage and they don't come to snatch it by then, you, who are fair and tender, will snatch it back and become a child bride.

Or selling it for food is a good choice." Jiang Muyan deliberately frightened Mianmian.

Mianmian's focus is different, "What is a child bride?"

Jiang Muyan: "..."

At this time, Mr. Mo, who was sitting in the carriage, coughed slightly and changed the subject, "Although Hongshi Village is some distance away from Jiangling County, they both fall under the jurisdiction of Youzhou."

The children's attention was immediately diverted.

Seeing that Mianmian was no longer asking what a child bride was, Jiang Muyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Jixun and Jiang Youquan negotiated with this group of beggars for a while. This group of people was very wary of them. Their accents seemed to be locals, but they denied it.

This caught Jiang Jixun's attention.

"If you believe me, you can tell me your problem, and maybe I can help you solve it."

People in the crowd looked at each other and didn't quite believe him.

At this moment, a square-faced man in the crowd turned gloomy and said, "They have food, and they must have money. If you don't want to starve to death, hurry up."

"Let's see who dares!" Jiang Youquan shouted.

The fighting spirit of this group of people was instantly extinguished. Seeing the extraordinary attire of a few people, they immediately wanted to retreat.

"Fourth brother, I think these people don't know how to tell the truth. Why don't we leave quickly." Jiang Youquan said in a low voice.

Jiang Jixun nodded. If he were alone, he would definitely stay to investigate the matter, but after all, there were several children on the carriage.

At this time, the square-faced man saw the children behind the carriage, especially the white and tender cotton, and his eyes suddenly became greedy.

"Not only do they have food, but they also have children. Look at how fair and tender the little girl is. She will definitely be able to fetch a lot of money when sold to a flower shop. Maybe you guys won't have to worry about it in the future."

Jiang Tingxiu appeared out of nowhere and kicked the person down.

The man with the square face felt his eyes blurred, and he spun around a few times before falling to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

No one saw where Jiang Tingxiu came from, let alone how he did it. They just saw his cold appearance and trembled from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Jixun's face also darkened, "I saw how pitiful you were, so I showed mercy to you. I didn't expect you to know what's good and what's good. In that case, come with me to the Yamen."

The square-faced man fell to the ground and grinned, "Why are you still standing there? This is an official. If we don't arrest him, none of us will survive."

When the others heard this, their demeanor immediately changed, and they rushed over with weapons in hand and howling.

There are so many of them that even if Jiang Tingxiu has great martial arts skills, it is impossible to stop them all at once.

"Jiang Xuanlin protects his younger brothers and sisters."

Although Jiang Xuanlin was also scared, he still responded, pushed Jiang Muyan and Mianmian back, and blocked the car door with his body.

Xiaoxiazi was also a little panicked, but she immediately cheered up when she thought of the little grandma in the carriage.
