Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 134 - 134:  132: Unexpected Change – Friends and Family Gather as Everyone is Worried

“Ye Lei, you take care of yourself…Goodbye!”

With a heavy heart, Liu Sisi finally left the dungeon prison, looking back every three steps.

Watching Liu Sisi’s figure disappear in the dungeon, Di Yelei held the bamboo basket tightly without moving.

It seemed that it was time for him to make a decision!

After a moment of contemplation, he called out loudly to the Prison Chief, “Get someone! I have very important information and want to see the Lord County Magistrate!”

…

Liu Sisi and the others left the dungeon prison, retracing their steps out of the county government building.

“Brother Nan, what did that prison guard say to you earlier?”

Just before leaving, the prison guard had called Nan Tianzong aside to speak privately.

“He didn’t say much; this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s leave and find an inn to stay at first,”

Nan Tianzon didn’t hesitate, leading Liu Sisi away.

With skillful familiarity, he led her through the streets, quickly turned into a small alley, went straight into a small inn and rented two rooms to stay.

“Nan Tianzon, what happened? Tell me directly!” Liu Sisi couldn’t wait any longer and asked directly.

Nan Tianzon carefully closed the doors and windows, and then sat down in a chair.

“I went to find an acquaintance earlier, and he happened to be on leave. I thought that staying here would only make you anxious, so I decided to wait. When I left the prison, I went to find him again, and he told me that Di Yelei is a serious murderer and he can’t be bailed out.”

Although she hadn’t thought about bailing him out, after all, Di Yelei was caught for murder. It would indeed be difficult to bail him out, but if possible, she naturally hoped she could.

She nodded in understanding, “I understand, thank you for running around so many times to help.”

“No problem! We are friends,” Nan Tianzong laughed lightly, his smile giving an extraordinary sense of relaxation.

“So what do we do now?”

Liu Sisi asked softly, Nan Tianzong seemed to be very familiar with the governmental procedures and knew details about the entrances and exits of the county government office. He didn’t seem like it was his first time in the county government.

“We can only wait!”

“Is there really no other way?” Liu Sisi hesitated.

Nan Tianzong nodded assuredly, “Yes, since they didn’t interrogate Di Yelei in secret today, it means they will do the preliminary trial in three days. What we are waiting for is this opportunity.”

Liu Sisi’s eyes lit up!

Three days! In any case, they had to find the real killer of Big Mouth Li and save Ye Lei within these two days!

“Let’s go! We’re going back to the small town! I have to find that Diao Shanbiao and prove Ye Lei’s innocence.”

“No need! I asked my friends to help me find him yesterday. If everything goes well, they should have found him by now, and it’s more likely that they have broken his mouth and found out who the real killer is,” Nan Tianzong was not worried at all.

You must be joking!

With Nan Tianzong’s abilities, he should have been able to handle this matter, or else he wouldn’t have survived until now.

Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she thought of something else, “No, I have to go back. The two children are still at home; I promised Ye Lei that I would take good care of them. We have to hurry back while it’s still daylight.”

“The two children are with Zhang Peng, they are fine, so don’t worry.”

Nan Tianzong was getting a little impatient!

“Coming to the county and going back costs money, not to mention the trouble. Why bother?”

“No, I must go back. I can earn the money again, but if something happens to the children, I can’t forgive myself.”

After speaking, she went straight to open the door and walked out.

“Sisi – damn it!”

Nan Tianzong was furious; he had spent so much time in the county government to prevent Liu Sisi from rushing back this evening. Unexpectedly, she would leave without any room for negotiation!

Not even a little room for discussion.

“Sisi, Sisi, wait for me! Sisi!” Nan Tianzong hurried up from behind.

Liu Sisi ran quickly out of the inn, heading towards the county government by memory.

On the way here earlier, she had heard from the coachman that their carriage would return to the small town in the afternoon and back to the county the next morning.

If she hurries now, she might be able to catch up with the carriage for a ride!

“Sisi! You’re here!”

A familiar voice called out, and Liu Sisi quickly stopped and looked back, it was Zhang Peng.

“Brother Zhang…”

Seeing Zhang Peng, Liu Sisi felt like she had seen a family member, as her eyes reddened.

“Sisi! Have you visited Ye Lei? How is he? Is he all right?” Zhang Peng asked anxiously.

Liu Sisi didn’t conceal anything, telling him about her visit to Di Yelei and the conversation with Nan Tianzong.

Zhang Peng listened and nodded, “Mmm, your boss is right, I heard about this earlier too. It’s impossible to bail out a serious criminal. But you don’t need to worry. Ye Lei has not undergone his preliminary trial yet, and usually the governmental office’s runners in the prison wouldn’t harm him. As long as we can rescue him before the preliminary trial, everything will be fine.”

As they were talking, Nan Tianzong caught up.

Zhang Peng quickly greeted Nan Tianzong with a fist greeting, “You must be Boss Nan, right? Thank you for taking care of my brother Ye Lei’s case.”

Secretly, Zhang Peng sized up Nan Tianzong. Seeing him standing beside Liu Sisi with a protective expression, Zhang Peng’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.

“No problem! I’m not doing this for any trouble or obligation; I just don’t want to see Sisi sad,”

Nan Tianzong declared assertively and dominantly!

“Brother Zhang, how are Ying’er and Xuan’er? Yesterday I… I…”

Liu Sisi felt guilty, as she had been busy here and hadn’t been able to take care of the two children.

“Don’t worry! Both children are at my house. Everything is fine!”

Zhang Peng finally relaxed, “This morning I went to the small town and heard that Ye Lei was taken to the county government yesterday. I couldn’t find a carriage to the county, so I had to climb and cross the hills to come here. Luckily, I found you.”

“Brother Zhang, Boss Nan rented two rooms at the inn earlier. Why don’t you stay at the inn for one night and then go back after rescuing Ye Lei the day after tomorrow?”

Liu Sisi had an instinctive feeling that Zhang Peng was much more reliable than Nan Tianzong, even though Nan Tianzong was super efficient at dealing with matters.

So the two returned to the inn to stay, and the next morning, Nan Tianzong brought more good news.

“That guy called Diao Shanbiao confessed, saying that a fatty named Sun Ergou gave him 10 taels of silver to lie.”
