Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 69

Seeing the faint mockery on Xia Junyan's face, Liu Wu's heart sank.Is this the timid and cowardly country girl he knew?

Xia Junyan said: "Master Liu, what you said just now has some meaning. What do you mean--my father's money was set up by the Cheng family? Which Cheng family? Didn't Master Liu think that I would just kowtow a few times? Can you go to the yamen to testify for you? I am a lonely little girl, and I always walk around the officials and yamen servants. There are things that Mr. Liu can't solve, even if I go, so what."

Liu Wu is now riding a tiger.Today, before daybreak, he received a rumor that Butou Wei in the yamen was going to personally bring someone to fetch him.At first he didn't think much of it, as this sort of thing happens a lot in gambling houses, it's just a matter of stuffing some money.But the 50 taels of silver were spent, but there was only a two-hour pause, and just now it was reported that he was going to be arrested and sent to the prison.

Looking at that posture, Liu Wu felt that he was really in trouble.He quickly took out another 100 taels of silver plug to the yamen servant, begging the official to let him know what he had done.As a result, this statement shocked him!Although he is the leader of a gangster in a gambling shop, he has done a lot of things that forced his girlfriend into prostitution, but it was all because he had the other party's IOU in his hand and his teacher was famous, so the government turned a blind eye to him.But Xia Junyan's IOU was no longer in his hands, so why should he ruin his business for an ordinary country girl.

But from the tone of the yamen servant, the county magistrate decided that he was the one who did it—colluding with the bandits to cause trouble in the village!This is a charge of exile!Liu Wu felt that he was really wronged, so he rushed to find Xia Junyan. After all, only Xia Junyan could prove his innocence in this matter.

"Miss Xia, grandma Xia!!" Liu Wu climbed to Xia Junyan's legs, his clothes were already soaked in cold sweat, "Please show mercy and save the little one. The little one offended you before, and you don't like it." Frankly, I took the board and whipped the younger one hard. No matter how daring the younger one is, he would not dare to do those things of colluding with bandits! I really don’t know which conscience-stricken person wanted to do this, and the little one was slandered. Don't worry if you fill up the army, if you let the real thief get away with it, maybe it will be bad for my aunt!"

Xia Junyan also guessed that there must be some twists and turns in the middle.If people like Liu Wu don't scare him out of his wits, he won't know how high the sky is.Just in time, the arresters from the county government also chased after them, Xia Junyan blessed Fuli, and said to Wei Butou who was walking in front: "Little girl Xia Junyan, although I don't know why, if you officials need a little girl If the girl goes to the county government office, the little girl will definitely cooperate."

Wei Butou looked at Liu Wu lying on the ground, and kicked angrily: "You run! If you run again, the brothers who killed you will follow you around the city! Take it!"

"Miss Xia, auntie! Help me!!" Liu Wu's face turned pale with fright, and the policeman beside him had already experienced it, so he immediately stuffed a rag into his mouth.

From the moment he entered the door, Wei Butou looked at the little girl in front of him.Although he is small and looks a little thin, his expression has always been calm.

A month ago, a person suspected of being an internal guard passed through Yun'an County and had some conversations with this country girl.In view of the fact that the person left quickly at that time, and the county has been peaceful since then, the county magistrate didn't take it too seriously.
