Chapter 176 What's the story...
Chapter 176 What's the story...
As Qin Ji finished speaking, several people left the dim cell and went to Tianranju.
What Xia Mo didn't know was that less than half an hour after they left, Gong Ming and Liu Yong followed Xie Yu to find County Magistrate He.
Liu Yong was a little scared about the meeting with the county magistrate, after all, he was just an ordinary hunter. But he cared about the safety of Lingchuan and the others, so he straightened his back and followed them.
County Magistrate He was very angry because of Master Feng's abuse of power for personal gain. Before he even went to bed, he was informed by his servants that another person came to visit.
County Magistrate He was feeling annoyed, so he simply waved his hand and said, "No need to see you."
The servant hesitated. He wanted to leave, but these people also came because of Master Feng's matter, especially the leader, Mr. Xie, who might also have a background.
Seeing that the servant was still standing there in embarrassment, Magistrate He lowered his mouth, took a deep breath and asked, "Who is visiting?"
"It's a young man who calls himself Xie and two farmers. They are here regarding Master Feng's matter." The servant spoke very quickly and lowered his head even lower after he finished speaking, without even taking a breath.
"Bang!" County Magistrate He slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table shook. It was Feng Yuan again...
County Magistrate He had a grim look in his eyes, and cursed Master Feng in his heart. However, anyone who dared to go directly to his mansion must be a prominent figure.
With the previous experience as a lesson, County Magistrate He stared in deep thought, muttering to himself: "Who are this rural couple? Why are so many people standing up for them?"
The servant knew very well that his master was not asking him, so he remained silent and waited for instructions.
After a long while, County Magistrate He raised his eyes and said, "Let them in."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the servant retreated quickly.
A moment later, Xie Yu and the other two walked in together and bowed slightly in front of County Magistrate He.
"Sir, we are here for a friend's business. We are sorry to bother you so late at night."
County Magistrate He glanced at them and saw that Xie Yu was calm and composed, and Gong Ming also looked indifferent. Only Liu Yong felt a little uneasy and had some ideas in his mind.
"It's okay. I heard from the servants that you are here for Master Feng's matter as well?"
Xie Yu smiled faintly: "That's right, Ling Chuan and Ze Ge'er are my friends, they are honest and kind people, they came to visit me after saying goodbye to that girl this afternoon, there is no abduction, I hope you can see clearly."
Magistrate He narrowed his eyes and looked at him directly: "The truth has been revealed. Your friend should have left."
"Gone?" Xie Yu was surprised and turned to look at Gong Ming and Liu Yong.
County Magistrate He said, "Yes, it was Shopkeeper Qin from Tianranju and the two young masters who took her away."
"I see." Xie Yu smiled.
Since someone else had solved the problem before him, there was no need for him to reveal all the speeches and tokens he had prepared.
"Your Excellency is very perceptive and cleared their name so quickly. Since they are fine and it is getting late, we have to go back and inform our families, so we won't disturb your rest."
County Magistrate He smiled at the compliment and said, "Go ahead. It is my duty to uphold justice for the people."
"Goodbye." After Xie Yu said this, he nodded slightly to him, then turned around and left with Gong Ming and the others.
As for County Magistrate He, he sighed softly after watching them leave.
Although he did not inquire about Xie Yu's identity, he had been in the officialdom for many years and knew that this man was not without confidence.
Never mind, never mind. It is better to have less trouble than more. The less you know, the safer you are. He just wants to be a small and honest official and have a clear conscience.
After leaving the county magistrate's mansion, Xie Yu and the other two went straight to Tianranju.
When Xia Mo saw them, he was greatly shocked. When he learned that a lot of people at home were worried about them, he was moved beyond words.
So they sat down and chatted for a while.
Since Xie Yu and the others had arrived, Liu Qiuwu, who had been hesitant about whether to recognize Xia Mo, finally swallowed his words and decided to bring it up again when there was a suitable opportunity another day.
Finally, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan thanked everyone solemnly again, then got on a carriage with Liu Yong and Gong Ming and returned to the village under the gray moonlight.
At that time, Liu Yingying and the others had already gone back. Only Qi, who lived nearby, saw that they were fine. She wiped away the worry between her brows and kept muttering, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."
Looking at Qi like this, Xia Mo smiled brightly, like the twinkling stars in the sky.
"Well, we are fine. Sister-in-law, Brother Dayong, and Brother Gong, thank you..." I felt the warm and pure friendship.
"What are you thanking me for? You haven't eaten yet. You're tired after a long day. I'll go make you something..." Qi interrupted him directly and turned around to make them something to eat.
Seeing this, Liu Yong stopped her and said, "Wife, wait a minute, we've already eaten." It's true that Tianranju is the most avant-garde restaurant in Qinghe County. The taste is really amazing. Next time he goes to the city, he will definitely take his wife and Tiedan to try it.
Qi was surprised: "Have you eaten?"
Xia Mo smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have eaten. It's late now. Sister-in-law, you and Brother Dayong should go back and rest first. And Brother Gong too."
Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, Qi gave up and said, "Then you should go to bed early. We can talk tomorrow if there is anything else."
Xia Mo nodded in agreement. After she said that, he did feel a little tired, especially his legs, which were a little sore.
So, the Qi couple, who didn't want to disturb them, left, and Gong Ming, who kept silent, also left.
"Ze'er, sit in the room for a while. I'll go boil some water and call you when it's ready." Ling Chuan looked at the little brother with his dark eyes.
Xia Mo shook his head: "No, let's go together."
Ling Chuan didn't refuse after hearing that. Instead, he suddenly leaned over and kissed the corner of his eye with a chuckle, "Hehe, let's do it together."
If there hadn't been someone around, he would have wanted to kiss his brother a long time ago, because he said that he was the most handsome and good-looking person in his eyes.
*****
At that time, the Liu family.
Just as Tang Yueer said, Liu Baokun, who had returned to college, had already returned home and was struggling with how to tell his elders at home that he wanted to get married.
After all, he could never have imagined that his arrogant sister had actually married someone else, and married that damn scoundrel Wang Mazi. It was simply too unbelievable.
This matter has both good and bad consequences for Liu Baokun.
Fortunately, he heard that the betrothal gift was eighty taels, which meant that the family was rich. If he wanted to persuade his parents to go to the house to propose marriage, he would not have to worry about the betrothal money.
The bad thing is that Wang Mazi is not a good person.
If he becomes an official after learning something, not only will he not be able to give him any help, but he is also idle and of low character. Having a brother-in-law like him would be a terrible thing.
Thinking of this, Liu Baokun felt powerless, but the matter was already settled, so what else could he say?
Just when he was lost in thought, a burst of laughter suddenly rang in his ears. It was his grandmother's, and faintly his mother's.
What happened? Why are you so happy?
Liu Baokun was thinking about it, and the next second he got the answer from his grandmother's words.
"Hahaha, God has eyes! That little bitch and that damned villain have been captured by the police. I wonder how they can show off in the future!"
