Watching Manbao walk away with the wooden basin, Xiao Qian thought for a while, turned around and walked to the door of the main room, just as Lao Zhoutou and Qian got up too.

It should be said that they had not slept all night and were getting ready to get up when they heard some movement in the yard.

Xiao Qian knocked on the door, and Lao Zhou put on his clothes and went out to give them space.

Xiao Qian came in and whispered what Man Bao had just said, and asked, "Mom, does Man Bao know?"

Mrs. Qian nodded, "If she wants to go, let her go. Don't tell anyone. The Yamen is investigating this matter. Man Bao said that she can ask the county magistrates to redress the injustice of the second brother, but this matter... Anyway...

Don’t expose your mouth yet.”

Xiao Qian nodded quickly, feeling a little worried in her heart.

This matter is not just their family's problem, the whole village is involved. If justice cannot be redressed and Zhou Yin is still found guilty, then the whole village will suffer.

Only then did some light appear on the horizon, and Man Bao carried a basket filled with incense, candles, paper money, and went to Bai's house to find Bai Shan.

The servant guarding the door was stunned for a moment when he heard the knock on the door. Then he opened the door and looked at Man Bao in confusion, "Miss Man, it's bright today."

"I know, has Bai Shan gotten up?"

The servant said distressedly: "The young one is the gatekeeper. The young master is in the second courtyard. Why don't you go and see for yourself."

After saying that, he stepped aside and allowed Man Bao to go in.

Manbao walked in carrying the basket.

The servants of the Bai family, except for those in the kitchen, had only just woken up. They went out to clean and pour night fragrance. They were a little stunned when they met Man Bao on the road, but they still stood aside and bent down to salute and say hello.

.

Man Bao arrived at Bai Shan's yard without any hindrance. Early in the morning, the clever servants had already rushed to report.

Bai Shan also got up, but before he had time to wash up, when he heard the movement in the yard, he stuck his head out of the door. When he saw Man Bao, he waved and said, "I still have to wash up. You wait for me in the hall first."

"

Man Bao responded, then handed the basket to a servant nearby to put it away. He entered his room and watched him wash his face while saying, "Are you going to visit my grave? I have a lot to say to you. What else can I say?"

I need you to help me refer to it if I need something."

Bai Shan knew as soon as he heard that she must have asked her parents last night, and he didn't know what the result would be.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, just wait for me. I'll go with you after breakfast."

While Bai Shan was washing his face, he said to the waiting servant: "Go to the kitchen and get two breakfast meals. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to wait for it to be ready."

Man Bao sat on a chair nearby and said, "I've eaten noodles, but I don't want to eat anymore."

Bai Shanze nodded to the servant and said, "Go."

The servants left in response.

Bai Shan cleaned his face and hands and went to comb his hair. After he had tidied himself up, his servants brought breakfast.

Man Bao glanced at the servants coming in and out, and said doubtfully: "There are many people I haven't seen before."

Bai Shan nodded and said, "Grandma just had someone bring her from Longzhou not long ago. Although I haven't seen it, it's her son."

He gave Man Bao a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked her, "Are you really not going to eat any more?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I have no appetite."

Bai Shan ate faster. It seemed that she had suffered a big blow, otherwise she would not have lost her appetite.

As soon as Bai Shan finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Aren't you going to pay your respects to Grandma Liu?"

Bai Shan shook his head and said, "Just let the servants go and talk to grandma. We will go and say hello when we come back. Grandma has just gotten up not long ago."

Man Bao asked his servant to take his basket back, and carried it out with him.

Daji appeared out of nowhere and followed them before they left the gate.

Man Bao glanced at him and led them to the cemetery of his family at the end of the village.

As soon as they went up the mountain, Man Bao said to Daji with a serious face: "Daji, we are going to whisper, can you stay away and not listen?"

Daji nodded silently and stopped.

The two of them walked to Uncle Manbao's tomb. From where Daji stood, he could see them but could not hear what they said.

Man Bao took out all the incense candles in the basket, and Bai Shan helped grab a handful of hay from nearby. The two of them struck flints to light the hay, then lit the incense candles and inserted them.

Man Bao took a handful of incense in his hand and knelt down respectfully to offer the incense. Bai Shan stood aside and waited for her.

Man Bao put the incense down, then found a piece of grass to talk to Bai Shan.

She told him everything I asked about yesterday without hesitation, and then said: "Tell me, how can I convince Magistrate Tang to help my biological father clear his grievances?"

Bai Shan said: "This is difficult. Although Magistrate Tang asked, he is currently in Yizhou City and is the magistrate of Huayang County. How can he come to Luojiang County?"

"County Magistrate Yang is not as capable as Magistrate Tang in solving crimes. This is an old case. If Magistrate Yang can't find out, won't our entire village have to be held accountable?" Man Bao said, "So we still have to do it.

Please ask the Tang County Magistrate."

Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "Even if you ask for it, you have to ask Magistrate Yang first. The incident happened in Luojiang County. If Magistrate Tang wants to investigate, he must get Magistrate Yang's consent. If you can persuade Magistrate Yang to ask

Magistrate Tang, that would be much easier."

"Then we have to wait until he comes back after getting married."

"Yes," Bai Shan counted on his fingers: "Even if he comes back as soon as we get married, it will take him a month, so there's no rush."

Man Bao sighed, "Okay, then we still have to pretend that nothing happened."

Bai Shan nodded and comforted her: "You are your uncle's daughter, so you are still a child of the Zhou family, just like your parents' child. Don't be sad."

Man Bao said: "I'm not sad anymore. I just feel sad and a little bitter. I always feel wronged for them."

She said: "It has been twelve years and I didn't even know they existed. Not only were they killed, they were also charged with crimes. Even family members cannot sweep their graves openly. I feel so uncomfortable."

Bai Shan thought for a while, looked around, and found that Daji was the only one nearby, so he reached out and hugged Manbao, patted her back gently and said, "How about you cry?"

Man Bao was held in his arms, his face flushed slightly, and he pushed him away and said, "Don't take advantage of me, right?"

"How old are you and how old am I? How can I take advantage of you?" Even so, Bai Shan's ears were still red and he complained loudly: "I am here to comfort you as a friend, okay? It's you who sees lust.

I thought wrongly."

Man Bao didn't expect that he would feel so uncomfortable and he would argue with him. He was so angry that he kicked him out. Bai Shan jumped back, turned around and ran away.

Man Bao picked up the basket on the ground and ran after it. He ran all the way to the foot of the mountain without catching up with Bai Shan, and could only stop panting.

Bai Shan stopped panting, turned around, looked at her and asked with a smile, "How are you, don't you feel bad anymore?"
