As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Ruyi entered the courtyard, saluted Li Yu and said: "Madam, the theater has been searched. It turns out that..."

"She even abducted children. This woman is really cruel." Li Yu handed the confession to Ruyi, "Here is the confession of that woman. Give it to your master. Take her back to the government office and hand her over to him for interrogation. "

"Yes, madam." Ruyi took the confession and went to the cellar, taking Su Xianyin to the government office.

Li Yu said to Jixiang: "Jixiang, go to the reverse room and tell the children about Mu Sanniang in the amusement park who stunned the children with candy and took them away. Tell them not to eat food from strangers."

"I understand, madam, these children need to be taught good manners. It would be great if Aunt He was here."

"There are not too many rules, and they are not allowed to serve in the government office. Just wait until the husband comes to teach some basic etiquette. Let's go!"

The news that a dozen little girls were kidnapped and locked in cages at the Yunyin Theater in Liuhua Lane spread throughout Yuncheng. Wang Zheng, who was secretly following the theater, heard the news and could no longer sit still. He hurriedly ran to find Wang Zheng. Qinghai inquired about the news and after confirming it from Wang Qinghai, his face changed with fright.

Seeing the frightened look on his face, Wang Qinghai thought he was thinking of Ah Yue, and said with relief: "Cousin, sister Ah Yue will be fine."

Wang Zheng sighed and said, "I hope so! Those who harm their children and heirs deserve to die. Has the theater owner been caught as well?"

Wang Qinghai shook his head and said: "I don't know. I only know that Mr. Zhou asked the police to send a body back to the government office early this morning. He said it was an assassin who went to Zhuangzi to assassinate him. After registering the case, he sent it to Yizhuang. I heard He said Master Zhou didn’t even return to the Yamen, so he led his men straight to Liuhua Lane to search.”

Wang Zheng thought: It's over, it's over. He hurriedly said to Wang Qinghai: "Qinghai, please help me pay attention to see if there is any other news. I'm going back."

Wang Qinghai touched his chin and looked at Wang Zheng's back, thinking: Could the assassin of the prefect have anything to do with the second uncle?

Wang Zheng came out of Wang Qinghai's house and was in a mess. After returning, he walked to Mrs. Wang's yard. Halfway there, he turned around and went to the small Buddhist hall. When he arrived at the Buddhist hall, he took a look at Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling and chanting sutras. He didn't know what to do. He opened his mouth and sat there with his head down.

Mrs. Wang waited for a long time without hearing any sound. When she opened her eyes and saw Wang Zheng sitting on the chair with his eyes distracted, her heart skipped a beat and she scolded: "Looking at how distracted you are, have you done something stupid again?"

"Mother," Wang Zheng looked at the old lady and hesitated.

Mrs. Wang walked to him and sat down, "Tell me! What stupid thing did you do again?"

Wang Zheng hesitated and said: "I... I hired someone two days ago to kidnap the prefect's wife... Mom, now the theater has also been sealed off by the government. Qinghai said that the prefect Zhou sent a corpse back to the government early in the morning. Yamen, do you think Boss Su has been caught by Prefect Zhou? What I ordered her to do has been exposed."

Old Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Zheng with a look of hatred for steel, and said angrily: "Now that your father has suffered a stroke and collapsed, and you are still waiting for punishment, I originally thought that Kun'er would have some advice from his uncle when he went to Kyoto to prepare for the exam. If you are on the list next spring, it means that the emperor has forgotten the stupid things you have done and has let our Wang family go. Do you have the brains to provoke the prefect?" Old Mrs. Wang said mentally and physically exhausted: "That's it, that's it. The Wang family clan has exhausted all its strength, let’s just let nature take its course!”

At this time Mrs. Tang ran in in panic, "Old lady, Mr. Wu is here with the police. He said that he would take the master to the Yamen for questioning."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's feet softened and she almost fell to the ground. Wang Zheng hurriedly supported her: "Mom, what should we do?"

The master has already fallen, and Zheng'er is about to get into trouble again. If I fall again, the clan will be eaten alive by other tribesmen. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang calmed down, supported Mrs. Tang and said to Wang Zheng: "Don't you stay here?" Move, let me go take a look first."

Mrs. Tang helped Mrs. Wang to the front hall and saw two teams of police officers standing at the door. Butler Wang was bowing down with a careless expression while Wu Ting spoke first.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel a little sad, thinking that the Wang family used to have to be courteous even to the prefect in Yuncheng. Unexpectedly, they had fallen to such a low point.

Wu Ting first saw Mrs. Wang step forward and cup her hands: "Mrs. Wang, I'm offended. I'm going to take Wang Zheng back to the Yamen for questioning."

Mrs. Wang winked at Butler Wang, who nodded and left. Mrs. Wang looked at Wu Tingxian, pretending not to know: "Master Wu, I wonder what my housekeeper has done?"

Wu Ting first held up his hands and said: "Mrs. Wang, the magistrate's family is spending the summer in Zhuangzi outside the city. Someone went to Zhuangzi last night to commit an assassination. After the assassin was captured, he confessed that Wang Zheng sent her there. The lower official is here to take Wang Zheng back for questioning. .”

"Master Wu, there must be a misunderstanding. I'm afraid someone is deliberately framed..."

"Mrs. Wang," Wu Ting raised his hand to stop Mrs. Wang's words, and said with cupped hands: "I tell you the truth, someone saw Mr. Wang going to Yunyin Theater, and the assassin was Su Xianyin, the owner of Yunyin Theater. , she personally admitted that Wang Zheng spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to hire her, and has already given a deposit of 4,000 taels. Please ask someone to call Wang Zheng out. I will take him back and ask him clearly. If it is none of his business, he will be let go. return."

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang knew that there was no room for change, so she bowed and saluted: "Master Wu, please help take care of me."

Butler Wang stepped forward and stuffed a purse into Mr. Wu Ting's sleeve.

Wu Ting first smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Old madam, the assassin has been captured. Fortunately, the prefect and his family are all safe and sound."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought to herself that since the second brother was safe and sound, his guilt would not be too serious. She just needed to take care of it, and asked Sihai Qianxi to talk things over in the interest of the past, and then go to the magistrate's house to deliver it. It shouldn't be a big deal if you pay a heavy courtesy and apologize. After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang bowed to Wu Ting and said, "Please take care of me, Mr. Wu."

"It's easy to talk about." Wu Ting agreed with a smile, and Mrs. Wang asked someone to call Wang Zheng.

At this time, Mrs. Lin also heard the news, and kept thinking in her mind: first A Yue, and now the master, the prefect’s wife must be a girl from Jin Niang’s family. Could it be that Jin Niang already knew that it was Aunt Han who pushed her down? Mountain stream? After I told her all this, she attacked my family again and again.

Lin and her maid hurried to the front hall. When they saw Wu Tingxian and a group of detectives taking Wang Zheng away, they blurted out: "Master, Jin Niang must have instigated her to take revenge on us."

Mr. Wang stepped forward and grabbed her and asked, "What? Where is Jin Niang? Why does she instigate people to take revenge on us?"

Wu Ting glanced at the policeman impatiently. The policeman walked up to Wang Zheng, cupped his hands and said, "Let's go, Mr. Wang."

Wang Zheng had no choice but to turn around and follow Wu Ting.
