Chapter 310 Shocks the Entire County Government

Shu Yu took a deep breath. "Then what's the most severe punishment my aunt could receive?"

"Exile them."

Exile again. Shu Yu gets a headache just hearing the word 'exile' now.

Wang Hong looked at her with some pity; no one could have predicted something like this.

Furthermore, there was something he didn't mention: they hadn't paid any attention to Yuan Shanchuan before. Even when the Yuan family reported him missing for several days, the authorities didn't have the time or energy to focus on him.

Later, it was Shu Yu who came to ask for their help, and only then did Lord Xiang spare some manpower to search for Yuan Shanchuan.

Well, this search unexpectedly uncovered a clue—a major piece of evidence of the former magistrate's crimes, which they couldn't find no matter what they tried, had been handed over to Yuan Shanchuan by the former magistrate.

This really shocked the entire county government.

Wang Hong didn't know whether to thank Miss Lu or pity her.

Shu Yu couldn't quite understand Wang Hong's look, and simply asked, "Then my fourth aunt's husband has been found?"

No, we are also searching for him with all our might.

Shu Yu understood. They hadn't found the person yet, so the exact severity of the situation was still unclear.

"Can I go see my aunt?"

Wang Hong thought for a moment, "I can't guarantee that, but Hu Li is still in the county government office. You can ask him. He should be able to see it, but you'll need someone with you."

"I understand, thank you, Brother Wang. We'll head to the county town now."

"good."

The two returned to the entrance of the Yuan family's house. Wang Hong nodded to Shu Yu and then turned to go inside.

Shu Yu walked to Lu Dasong's side under the astonished gazes of the villagers of Daxu Village.

Da Niu hurriedly asked, "So? What did the officer say?"

Shu Yu shook her head. "Let's talk as we walk."

"Hey." Lu Dasong picked up Xiao Zhen, and the others hurriedly followed behind Shu Yu, heading towards where the mule cart was parked.

As soon as they left, people started talking about it.

"Goodness, this girl from the Lu family actually knows people in the government?"

"That official who seemed to be in charge just now, why was he so nice to Lu Yatou?"

"Could this girl really have taken Xiao Zhen and the others to see the Lu family?" someone said, turning to look at Aunt Yao.

The latter's face had turned pale this time, and he hurriedly ran home.

"I reckon that even if Yuan Shanchuan is really guilty, the Lu family will probably be rescued."

"But the rest of the Yuan family... it's hard to say."

As the villagers spoke, they looked at the three sisters-in-law of the Yuan family who were in a daze.

Someone reminded them, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and follow them, you can meet your men then."

The three of them suddenly realized, "Right, right, let's follow them."

They also have mule carts, which are more comfortable to ride in.

The three of them quickly wiped their faces, stood up, and chased after them.

However, it was too late. Shu Yu and the others got into the car, and Da Niu had already headed towards the village entrance.

The three sisters-in-law of the Yuan family called from behind, "Wait for us, we're coming too."

Da Niu paused for a moment, then hesitated.

Shu Yu, however, remained expressionless. "Let's go straight. The mule cart can't fit so many people."

Da Niu quickly increased the speed, and the car soon left Daxu Village, heading straight for the county town.

Not long after leaving the village, Lu Dasong looked at the child in his arms with some anxiety and said, "What should we do? Quan Quan keeps crying. Will something bad happen if this continues?"
