Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 71

Liu Wu was right, the IOU was no longer with him, and he also got more than 100 taels of silver, so there was no need to continue to waste time entangled with a country girl.There must be someone behind this incident. What if that person is the real culprit, the one who really wants to kill me?

Seeing that Xia Junyan hadn't left yet, the county magistrate looked a little impatient: "What else do you have?"

Xia Junyan replied: "My lord, three days ago, Mrs. Zhou from Zhouji Buzhuang paid off the money to the gambling house for me and got the IOU. Later, I paid back 100 taels of silver to Mrs. Zhou."

After the words fell, Liu Wu struggled violently.He was originally a street gangster, so he naturally has a lot of strength.At this moment, in order to survive, he was struggling desperately. For a while, the two arrests who supported him were a little struggling.

Xia Junyan took the opportunity to say: "Although Liu Wu committed a serious crime, he seems to have something to say. The county magistrate will neither wrong a good person nor let a bad person go!"

The flesh on the county magistrate's face trembled, his heart was already impatient.

He originally planned to give the village girl an explanation to deal with the matter. After all, the inner guards are rich and powerful, and it is impossible for them to keep an eye on the small Yun'an County.I didn't expect this country girl to be persistent.One thing more is worse than one thing less. The county magistrate has been in this position for many years. Now that he is old, he will be promoted to the state capital to seek a job in the state capital after this year.Today's evaluation of officials is not based on the detection rate, but on the incidence rate.Now that there is a case of mountain bandits harming the village, it is already a headache enough, but this girl still wants to find trouble for him!
As a master, Kong Yunbo naturally understood the thoughts of the magistrate.Stepping forward, he whispered in his ear: "Since my lord wants to give this girl an explanation, I should just follow her to do everything, so as not to cause trouble in the future. Take advantage of the present, and cut the mess quickly! Country girls are all bullish, let's take care of things." I have done everything, let her know that Liu Wu has no one else, anyway, she is illiterate, has never seen the world, and is quite stupid, seeing that adults are making decisions for her, she can still read It's very tricky."

The county magistrate nodded and waved for someone to remove the rags from Liu Wu's mouth.

"I beg the county magistrate to be merciful!" Liu Wu cried, "The lady of Zhoujiabu Village is actually a poisonous woman with a kind face and a wicked heart! In order to deceive Miss Xia, she deliberately asked the maid to inform the gambling house that Miss Xia was in the game. Bu Zhuang chooses the cloth and asks the kid from the gambling shop to ask for money. She can take this opportunity to be kind to Miss Xia!" As she spoke, she kowtowed several times, "Everything I said is true! There was Chef Li from Jufulou, that villain was jealous of Miss Xia's craftsmanship, and was afraid that Miss Xia would threaten his status if she became a cook in Jufulou, so he gathered a group of gangsters to ambush Miss Xia on the way to the county lord's mansion. , I plan to teach Miss Xia a lesson! These things have nothing to do with the little one. Those ideas are all from Mrs. Zhou and Cook Li. Although the little one loves money, he also knows that murdering and breaking the law is absolutely impossible. Collusion with bandits!"

Liu Wu immediately poured out all the private affairs that Li Chun'e and Li Chef had discussed with him. Xia Junyan felt a shudder behind her when she heard it, and she was extremely angry!Fortunately, she thought that Li Chun'e was a good person, but she didn't expect that Li Chun'e gave the gambling house 100 taels in front of her, but in fact the gambling shop hindered Zhou Jibuzhuang's momentum, and then returned her 80 taels.She still foolishly thought that Li Chun'e was really donating money, and returned the 100 taels of silver bills to Li Chun'e.
