Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 74

Li Chun'e breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the county magistrate didn't want to make a big deal out of it.Xia Junyan is young and doesn't understand the thoughts of those officials. She just wants to find out the truth, but the purpose of the county magistrate is to calm the matter quickly so as not to affect her official career.

"You scared the girl today." After leaving the county office, Li Chun'e said with concern, "I didn't expect Liu Wu to be so ruthless."

Xia Junyan looked at Li Chun'e with complicated emotions.As the saying goes, a Taoist's words are good when he is about to die, but for a scoundrel like Liu Wu, can he believe what he says?

Li Chun'e didn't seem to see Xia Junyan's expression at all, and her tone was as gentle as ever: "As the saying goes, there are three feet of waves without wind, let alone such a big event happened. My sister doesn't boast about how she is. It came from a place, and you can see people's hearts over time. My sister will come to Buzhuang more often in the future, and what she sees with her own eyes is always more true than what others say." After finishing speaking, she took a small sedan chair and left slowly.

Xia Junyan returned to Jufulou full of doubts.Although Liu Wu was dealt with, she didn't feel how excited she was.At the beginning, Liu Wu forced the original little girl Xia to have nowhere to go and finally threw herself into the water. Now that she has been sent to the army for thousands of miles, according to the county magistrate, she will probably die halfway, which can be regarded as a life for another.

It's just that the life of a rogue is compared with the life of a kind little girl, Liu Wu is cut into pieces, so what can be done.Brother Zhuangshi left without saying goodbye, just like when he came, he was extremely mysterious.Xia Junyan vaguely felt that the strong man was not a simple person, and it might have something to do with this matter, but now that everyone is gone, she has no way of asking.

A feeling of powerlessness gradually came to my heart.

Obviously the gambling shop's debts have been cleared, and I have more than 300 taels of silver in my hand, but why is my heart more empty than when I first came here?

"Crack!" Xia Junyan patted her cheek fiercely. Now is not the time to be sad, she still has a lot to do!
The county magistrate tried the case very quickly. When the county magistrate returned to Jufulou, it was just after the sun had set. Many young men from rich families came to Jufulou to pick up vegetables. It was the last busy day of Jufulou. when.

Shopkeeper Sun personally sat in the lobby, chatted with familiar old guests, and talked with the big managers of several wealthy households.He has handed over the important kitchen area to Sun Ze.

Seeing Xia Junyan come back, Shopkeeper Sun nodded and told her to go to the backyard first.

"Are you okay?" Sun Ze asked concerned.

Xia Junyan said that everything was normal: "The boy I met at the county lord's mansion that day was made by Chef Li and Liu Wugan. They were originally going to be buried there, but it seemed that they were discovered by the people in the county lord's mansion. The county lord is unlucky, so we will clean up first. Fortunately, we are lucky, if we go one step earlier, I'm afraid..."

Sun Ze looked up at the busy cooks in the kitchen, and seeing that everyone was busy with the work in his hands, he asked, "How does the county magistrate plan to deal with them?"

"Liu Wu should be exiled to the army. He can't escape the charge of colluding with bandits, not to mention the activities he did before. In the past few years, he has lent usury and forced people to pay back the money at high interest rates. How many good people All the girls are sold to that dirty place! It’s considered light to be a soldier!” Xia Junyan couldn’t help getting angry when she thought of the girl from the next village that Aunt An had told her back then, “As for Cook Li, when I left The county magistrate has not yet tried, but I think the county magistrate is in a fit of anger, and he will have to be punished, and maybe even pay money."

"The board of the yamen is very knowledgeable." Sun Ze smiled.It all depends on whether this person wants his life or money. If Chef Li goes in this time, he will go bankrupt if he doesn't die.

"Have you talked to your uncle?"
