Chapter 244 An Unwelcome Request

"Precisely because it's convenient, they don't dare to take action in Qianzhou, fearing that they will be exposed and get into trouble."

"But it's different far away. Not only is it difficult to find someone so far away, but they might have gone through several other hands. This way, the chances of them being exposed are very low."

"I see," Ah Yu nodded, expressing her understanding. She was abducted simply because of bad luck. She happened to meet those people who had stopped to hunt and accidentally spotted her, so they took her away.

However, those people didn't know that by doing this, they had lost their home and their lives. If they had known, they would never have dared to take Ah Yu away.

An hour later, the boat docked at Qianzhou's pier. The Hua family invited Yue Fuli to go with them to see the prefect, and she agreed after thinking about it.

In the future, their family will have to live here, so it would be good to get to know more people. Now that she is dressed in men's clothes, others will not think that she is an exiled prisoner, let alone that she is Yue Fuli.

Hua Tingzhou was on good terms with the prefect, Lord Yang, so as soon as he handed in his visiting card, he was invited in. Yue Fuli and the rest of the Hua family were waiting outside with the children and girls, as well as the heads of the thieves.

Before long, the prefect's men came over to invite them in.

It would not be a good idea to let a large group of people go in, so the children and girls were taken to another place to wait temporarily, and only Yue Fuli and the Hua family members went in.

Lord Yang was surprised when he saw Yue Fuli. He felt that the person in front of him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

When Hua Tingzhou told Lord Yang that he had murdered all the bandits, Lord Yang was even more surprised and said, "Young people are truly formidable. This young man looks to be less than 20 years old, yet he possesses such martial arts prowess and courage. I truly admire him."

"Your Excellency is too kind. I'm a bit clumsy in other aspects, but I have some talent in martial arts. This time, the reason I was able to kill those people was also due to luck."

Seeing that Yue Fuli was not proud and complacent, but instead attributed his ability to kill the bandits to luck, he thought more highly of him.

In addition, he didn't want to offend such a martial arts master, so he gave the bounty to her readily.

However, Yue Fuli did not take all the bounty, but took two ingots of silver as a token of appreciation. He pushed the rest of the silver toward Lord Yang and said, "Sir, I have a humble request."

"Please go ahead."

"Sir, this is what I meant. Not only did I kill those bandits this time, I also rescued some people. I'll leave the remaining silver to you as the fare to send those people home."

"This?" Lord Yang looked at Yue Fuli, not knowing for a moment whether she really wanted to give it or was just pretending.

Hua Tingzhou had spent more time with Yue Fuli and knew her somewhat. Knowing that what she said was true, he looked at Lord Yang and advised, "Sir, since Master Li is willing to give it, then you should accept it. With this money, you can arrange for someone to send those children and girls home as soon as possible, right?"

"Brother Hua, what you said makes sense. I'll accept it first."

Yue Fuli was very happy to see that Lord Yang accepted the silver.

She finally succeeded in getting rid of this burden.

Since Lord Yang has accepted the money, he has to do his job.
