[010] Identity
*
Another night passed.
Mu Qing sat quietly in the corner of the cell, as if she was thinking. The smile on the corner of her mouth was still faint, but it was inexplicably shocking.
The woman glanced at her and was about to speak when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the aisle.
Mu Qing looked up and saw a prisonman walking in front, nodding and bowing to guide the people behind him.
The light in the cell was very dark, and Mu Qing couldn't see clearly what the person was looking at, but the smile on the corner of his lips became deeper and deeper.
The jailer quickly opened the prison door and stood by respectfully and politely.
The woman was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
Mu Qing looked at the visitor with a gentle look, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Gao was stunned, as if he didn't expect Mu Qing to guess his identity, and couldn't help but look at her carefully.
The woman in front of her looks beautiful, like the bright peach blossoms blooming in spring, as bright as the morning glow; especially her beautiful eyes, which seem to contain the beautiful scenery and clearness of the world.
She sat quietly in the cell, with a gentle smile on the corner of her lips.
There was neither the dissatisfaction and grievances of being locked in a cell nor the joy of surviving the disaster. It seemed that he had already made up for his arrival.
Although he was dressed in a cold manner, he was full of dignity and extraordinary temperament. Even if he was in a cell, he was still calm in the face of changes.
Just one glance, Zhang Gao deeply felt that Miss Mu Er from Dingguo Hou Mansion was definitely not an ordinary person.
Zhang Gaoxin was confused. He thought that Mu Qing was just a 14 or 15-year-old girl, so how could he predict things like a god? It was just a coincidence.
After thinking about it, Zhang Gao asked, "Do you dare to ask Miss Mu Er how to know the identity of this official?"
Mu Qing smiled, her voice was still gentle and said truthfully: "Shuozhou Prime Minister Chen Minzheng has always been honest and honest. If he knew about Fengxian County, he would definitely send someone to investigate thoroughly; and Mr. Zhang has been with the prefect for many years and has to pay attention to it, and he has always been fair in handling matters and judgments. I think there is no suitable candidate except you."
After saying that, Zhang Gao looked surprised, as if he didn't expect Mu Qing to analyze so thoroughly at such a young age. It's not surprising why she knew her identity.
"Miss Mu Er was wrongly imprisoned, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Zhang Gao stared at Mu Qing, carefully observed her facial expression, and said, "Now, I have reviewed the files of these 36 prisoners. Du Wencai is a corruption and bribery. Most of them have been taken away by him and have been imprisoned for nothing. I have sent someone to report this matter to the prefect overnight. I think Du Wencai will be punished by the law in a few days."
Mu Qing nodded: "I'm sorry Lord Zhang for this matter."
"Miss Mu Er is serious, this is my duty." Zhang Gao waved his hand and said guiltily: "The cell is dark and wet, so I have to worry about staying for two more days; in a few days, the new county magistrate of the prefect will arrive in Fengxian County, and Miss Mu Er and the wronged people will be released from prison."
Zhang Gao said this, and Mu Qing was not surprised.
Chen Minzheng has always been honest and honest. If he releases himself out of the cell before the new county magistrate arrives, he will inevitably be criticized by the world.
After all, Mu Qing is the daughter of the Hou Mansion and has an extraordinary identity.
If someone is against Chen Minzheng, he will definitely use this reason to mock him for cursing the powerful and powerful, and his reputation is not good.
Mu Qing could understand and smiled softly: "You are kind to you, Lord Zhang. You have been living in this cell for ten days, so I don't care about staying for a few more days."
Hearing that Mu Qing was so sensible, Zhang Gao couldn't help but look at her for a few more times, feeling that the woman in front of him didn't speak like a little girl, and she felt a little fond of her heart.

After Zhang Gao left, the woman came to her senses. At this moment, she was full of questions, but looking at Mu Qing's faint expression, she resisted not asking.
Mu Qing looked back at her, and felt funny, and said, "Auntie, are you very surprised how the confidant of the prefect just now would talk to me so respectfully and politely?"
When the woman heard this, she nodded and asked in confusion: "I heard that Lord Zhang has always called you Miss Mu Er, why is this?"
The smile on Mu Qing's face was still faint, and he explained: "Because I am the legitimate daughter of the Dingguo Hou Mansion, Lord Zhang came to the prison in person."
As soon as these words came out, the woman looked shocked, her mouth opened, as if she was disbelief, staring at Mu Qing with her eyes straight, and she was stunned.
The woman barely recovered for a long time and asked stammeringly: "Ding... the daughter of the Housing Mansion of Ding?"
Mu Qing smiled and didn't say anything.
The woman was still surprised, still feeling the news was unbelievable, and she couldn't help but murmured: "You are actually the daughter of the Dingguo Hou Mansion? My God, I actually live in a cell with the Hou Mansion..."
The woman recalled that no wonder she felt that she was not like an ordinary person from the day Mu Qing entered the cell, but rather like a lady raised by a noble family.
Whether it is speaking or making moves, it is hard to meet.
While he was stunned, Mu Qing's gentle voice suddenly echoed in the woman's ears.
"Someone will come to save us soon..."
On that day, the woman only felt that Mu Qing was joking, but when she saw her firm face, she inexplicably believed it.
Now that I thought about it, the woman was surprised and suddenly understood.
No wonder Mu Qing said that day that someone came to save them, but he didn't expect that he had such a noble identity.

Three days later, the newly appointed Yang County Chief had arrived in Fengxian County.
Mu Qing and the people who were wrongly imprisoned were released from prison, and Du Wencai fled overnight and was also caught by Zhang Gao's subordinates.
When he heard that Du Wencai was caught, he was dragging two large bags of silver and jewelry forward, and was panting when he was exhausted. He stood by and peed, but he suddenly came to see many officers and soldiers around him and grabbed him, and he was so scared that he wet his pants.
Two more days later, after Zhang Gao had arranged everything, he asked the officers and soldiers to escort Du Wencai to Shuozhou.
Mu Qing is naturally along the way.
After all, Qiuyu is still in Shuozhou, and if you want to return to Dingguo Hou Mansion, it is the fastest way to go to Shuozhou first.
It is the middle of winter, and the weather is cold and the earth is frozen.
On the day he left, Du Wencai was taken into the prison car.
The streets were filled with angry people, both men, women, young and old, and the baskets in their hands were filled with eggs, rotten vegetables, and leftovers, all thrown to Du Wencai's body.
Du Wencai shrank in the prison car, and after a while, his body stinked.
The egg liquid, rotten vegetable leaves, soup and leftover vegetables were all covered.
I don’t even know who it was, but I hate Du Wencai, a corrupt official who was so cruel to the people, actually threw a stone and hit his forehead. Blood slowly flowed down his dirty face.
Du Wencai had his hair disheveled, without any prestige on the day. He seemed panicked because he was about to be taken to Shuozhou and was waiting for the law to punish him.
