In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

Chapter 64 Wu Minmin returns home to find out the truth

He Jinzong's study door was closed. Only he and Wu Minmin were inside.

He held his forehead in distress and looked at the woman in white prison uniform. After a night of fear and terror, her face looked a little haggard and there were obvious red bloodshot eyes.

Wu Minmin is the young master of Wu's Cloth Shop. She has always been in charge of the family business. Wu's Cloth Shop was the foundation founded by her grandfather.

Her father was just a son-in-law of the Wu family.

Her grandfather was seriously ill, and her grandmother and mother did not interfere in the family business. She was the only owner of the Wu family cloth shop.

"I pay my respects to you, my Lord!"

Wu Minmin knelt down with a plop and begged, "Please understand, my Lord. Wu's Cloth Shop was founded by my grandfather. I cherish it so much. How could I possibly sell inferior goods as good ones and bring discredit to the shop!"

"There must be some misunderstanding here!"

He Jinzong did not underestimate this girl who was about the same age as his daughter Wanwan. She was a smart person as she could manage a cloth shop on her own when she was a teenager.

"Master Wu, your cloth and clothes have grown maggots. According to the common people, maggots on clothes are not only impossible to wash out, but they will also parasitize on people after changing clothes. They are very frightened by this matter."

"If we don't handle it well, it will be very difficult for both you and me!" He Jinzong said in a heavy tone: "Now the people are still blocking the government office."

"Sir, please give me a chance to prove my innocence. I will find out the whole story and give the people an explanation." Wu Minmin said eagerly.

"This is why I asked you to come here." He Jinzong looked at Wu Minmin with appreciation.

The officers he sent could not find any clues, but as the owner of the cloth shop, Wu Minmin might be able to detect some clues.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration.

"I can ask you to go back and work with the officers to investigate this matter. First, you can give an explanation to the people, and second, you can give the Wu family cloth shop a way out."

He Jinzong emphasized: "I will only give you half a month. After half a month, you must present the truth to me. Can you do it?"

"If we can't find out the truth within this time, the Wu family will be in danger of having their assets seized, and you might even lose your life!"

Did the adults agree to her?

Wu Minmin understood and promised loudly in ecstasy: "Thank you, sir, for giving me a chance to prove my innocence. I will find out the truth within half a month and give you and the people an explanation!"

Although she is not a man, she has been raised by her grandfather since she was a child, and the courage she has developed cannot be underestimated. Wu Minmin is confident that she can find out the truth within half a month.

He Jinzong said, "I'll have someone escort you out the back door. When you go out recently, remember to take a carriage and bring a few servants who are good at martial arts to prevent people with ulterior motives from harming you. You can come to me if you need anything."

"Yes!"

When she was young, Wu Minmin often heard her grandfather say that Lord He would be a wise official.

In the past, she couldn't tell whether he was wise or not, but Lord He was willing to give her a chance to make amends and didn't torture her to extract a confession. Only then did she truly realize that she had met a good official.

"I will go back and find out the truth." Wu Minmin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will ask the officer to go back with you."

The Wu Family Cloth Shop was located on the East Street of the county town, which was considered a prosperous area of ​​the county town. The Wu Family's old house was not far from the cloth shop. She was sent back home in a covert manner by County Magistrate He, accompanied by several plainclothes officers.

The old lady of the Wu family was so shocked by her granddaughter's arrest that she fell into a coma.

Wu Minmin's mother, Wu Huier, had to take care of her mother while dealing with the people who came to her door, and she was very busy.

Zhang Heng, the son-in-law of the Wu family, is cleaning up the mess in the cloth shop.

The old man was bedridden and had no idea that his granddaughter had been arrested.

"My granddaughter...Minmin, is she back?" The old lady asked her daughter who was taking care of her in tears as soon as she woke up.

"Mother..." Wu Huier was unable to answer. Her daughter was detained by County Magistrate He and had not returned yet.

"Wuwuwu..." The sobbing sound of Old Mrs. Wu was heard from the room.

She cried bitterly, "How could this happen? We have been doing business for decades and have always had a good reputation. Minmin is so smart, how could she cheat the people by selling inferior goods as good ones? Our cloth is all fine goods carefully selected from cloth shops in the south, how could there be maggots!"

"Mom, please stop crying. Be careful not to hurt yourself." Wu Huier wiped her mother's tears with a cry, her brows tightly furrowed.

"Grandma! Mom! Dad!"

As soon as Wu Minmin entered the house, she asked the maids and servants to close the door tightly.

The fact that she was released from prison should not be spread out, otherwise it would cause trouble and bring a bad influence to Lord He.

“Minmin!” Mrs. Wu’s crying stopped abruptly: “I heard Minmin’s voice.”

Wu Huier was surprised to see her daughter intact, "Minmin, are you okay?"

"Mom!" Wu Minmin took a deep breath tiredly: "My daughter is fine, don't worry."

"Minmin, you're back. Will everything be okay from now on?" When Old Mrs. Wu saw her granddaughter coming back, she burst into tears of joy again.

"Grandma, my master has given me half a month to find out all the truth. As long as there is evidence to prove that Wu's cloth shop was wrongly accused, my grievances can be cleared."

"I suspect that our cloth shop business is so good that it has attracted envy, and that's why someone framed our family." Wu Minmin expressed her guess.

"Who is so wicked that he caused maggots to grow in the cloth and clothes in our cloth shop, causing misunderstanding among the people and putting my daughter in jail? If we find that person, we must not let him off easily." Wu Huier sneered.

"Daughter, what should we do next?" Wu Huier asked.

Wu Minmin replied: "I want to ask my father if the goods were tampered with on the way here. What have the owners of other cloth shops been doing in the past few days since we returned to Xiping County?"

"Where's my father?"

"Your father has been staying at the cloth shop ever since something happened at home, to prevent the shop from being smashed and destroyed by the people." Wu Huier sighed, not knowing what her husband's situation was at the moment.

The people outside were so crazy that she was really worried about leaving her husband alone in the cloth shop.

"Let my father come back. I only have half a month." Wu Minmin said.

Old Madam Wu quickly ordered the maid beside her: "Go and call the master over."

After receiving the news, Zhang Heng hurried back home.

Seeing that his daughter was in good condition, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Minmin, you're back. I knew that the adults were wise and powerful. After finding out the truth, they will definitely release you."

"Dad, the adults gave me half a month to find out the truth, otherwise our family's lives will be in danger."

Wu Minmin poured cold water on him.

"Dad, tell me the whole story of buying the cloth and see if I can find some clues." She went straight to the point.

"We purchased all our goods from the cloth merchants we bought before. Dad can guarantee that there won't be any problems. We have been cooperating for so many years, starting from your grandfather, and we have been purchasing goods from those cloth merchants. It is impossible that there will be problems only now." Zhang Heng vowed.

"I heard the doctor who examined the cloths say that the maggots growing on the bodies of the common people are a bit like corpse worms. Will our homes become unclean?" Wu Huier suddenly thought of this.

"A few days ago, I was drinking tea with Madam Jiang and the others, and heard them say that there is a Golden Saint Goddess on Qihuang Mountain, who has great magical powers and boundless power. The county magistrate can't find any clues about this matter. How about we go to Qihuang Mountain to pay our respects and pray to the Goddess to bless us?"

Old Madam Wu glared at her daughter and said sternly, "Hui'er! Don't talk about strange things!"
