Chapter 121: What bad luck! How can a fugitive pretend to be a businessman?

The woman quickly opened the door with a smile on her face.

"Miss Jiu is here..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw a group of people rushing in. They were soldiers! She was thrown to the side, her brain dizzy, and she watched them rush into the house, the fear growing in her heart.

It’s over, it’s over…

Jiusu said: "Yuan Ling is behind the board."

At the county magistrate's command, everyone began to search.

Lu Yu hurried out and looked at the woman who was sitting on the ground. He understood everything in an instant. Moreover, he had done something wrong, so how could it be a good thing for the soldiers to come to his house?

He couldn't stop so many people by himself.

But for the sake of his life, he still dragged the woman to kneel in front of the county magistrate.

"Sir, what have I done wrong? You can't be so... careful. That's a vase left by our ancestors, sir, please."

The county magistrate looked at the vase and found that it had a nice luster.

If they really committed a crime, wouldn't these things still belong to him?

"Someone accused you of imprisoning Yuan Ling and endangering her life. I'm here to investigate. Don't worry, if you didn't do anything, I'll definitely clear your name."

Lu Yu was so nervous that his hands were shaking. He looked up at the two people next to him.

"Who are you guys?! What on earth are you planning to do under the guise of buying a windmill?!"

Jiusu's lips curled up, "We are Yuan Ling's family."

"Bullshit! Yuan Ling is just an old mother, how can she have any family members!" Lu Yu yelled, his saliva flying in excitement. He didn't believe it.

Until the wooden door was broken open and the officers and soldiers rescued Yuan Ling from inside, he fell to the ground and kept repeating two words.

It's over.

Yes, he's finished.

Lu Yu closed his eyes, filled with the sweetness of the past. Regret swept through his body. He knelt in front of her, "Ling'er! I beg you, Ling'er, please forgive me, okay?"

Forgive him and he will have a chance of survival.

Yuan Ling's hair was like dead grass, her hands were covered with wounds, and she walked crookedly. Seeing the light of day again was like a dream. Her teeth were yellow and black, and she spoke every word with endless hatred.

"I hate you so much that you die!"

"No, Ling'er, we are in love, right?" Lu Yu hugged her legs tightly, as if looking for a little warmth, but the stench on Yuan Ling's body made him hold his stomach and retch.

Yuan Ling sneered: "I really regret meeting you, I really regret marrying you..."

She looked up at the dazed Hui Ye, and the hatred in her eyes could no longer be concealed, and tears filled her eyes.

"Lü Yu and I have known each other for the past two years. We were very much in love, even though we were poor. But everything changed when Hui Ye showed up. They often had affairs under my nose. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wanted to go home, but they didn't want to give up my free labor.

After some discussion, they tied me up and used my old mother to pressure me, not letting me die. I could only fold windmills and make scarecrows day and night, hoping that one day my mother would see my windmill and rescue me from the sea of ​​suffering…”

The crime was exposed to the public, and Yuan Ling's suffering was already irrefutable evidence.

Lu Yu and Hui Ye had nothing to say.

Hui Ye turned around and said, "Sister Ling, if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. I was an orphan since I was a child, and my husband saved me. I like him, and in order to have him all to myself, I changed his mind little by little."

Lu Yu broke free from the soldiers and kicked Hui Ye in the stomach.

He kept slapping her face with both hands.

"Bitch! It's all your fault. I used to have such a happy family! I even lost my only child! I regret it so much! I hate you! I hate you!"

The magistrate waved his hand.

"Take her away!" He walked into the house and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets with his confidants for a long time before coming out happily. His belly had grown bigger again. He said to Jiusu, "Then Yuan Ling will be left to you."

Jiusu folded his hands.

"Thank you, sir."

Humph, thank you, you big-headed ghost. It’s obvious that he went in and looted all of Lu Yu’s money.

There were only three people left in the yard.

Yuan Ling knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you both, benefactors! Is my mother okay?"

"Auntie is very nice, but she has a very stubborn personality." Jiusu helped her up. Seeing that Yuan Ling was very weak, he kept supporting her. "Let's go to the inn to rest first, and then return to Suming County in a few days, okay?"

Yuan Ling nodded and said weakly, "I will listen to my benefactor."

She has made her mother worried and sad for five years. If she comes home in this terrible state, it will make her mother even more sad. Thinking of the pain of five years of separation, she couldn't help but tear up.

Jiusu makes her cry.

If you lock a person in darkness for five years and only take him out for a walk occasionally, he will live a more miserable life than a dog. If he doesn't vent his emotions, he will get sick.

The sun shines on Yuan Ling.

She looked up and looked straight ahead. She was not afraid. She liked it very much.

Wutie County is very small. For a moment, the wind blew up the windmills in the county town, making a rustling sound. They all knew Yuan Ling, and they couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw her tragic experience.

"Oh, Yuan Ling! That bastard said you've become prettier and even had your mole removed. I didn't expect he'd replace you with a woman!"

"I was also suspicious at first, but Lu Yu locked the door and wouldn't let us see him. He also continued selling windmills. I didn't expect these two bastards to be so despicable!"

Their words were like knives stabbing into her heart bit by bit.

Yuan Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you both sisters-in-law for your concern."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk much, Jiusu took her to the inn and arranged a room for her. Alas, it was a pity that he didn't bring Zitan and Koushao, otherwise he could have taken care of them.

She said, "I'm right next door. If anything happens, I'll hear you as soon as you shout."

"Well, thank you, benefactor." Yuan Ling lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. The surroundings were quiet, but there was light. The fear in her heart subsided little by little. This was an inn, no longer a small dark room.

It's okay, it's okay.

You can sleep well, and when you wake up, you can see your mother...

The county magistrate was happy after receiving the money, so he only punished the two men with twenty lashes of the stick each and locked them up for two days. While he was counting the copper coins, he was told that the general had arrived.

The county magistrate was puzzled: "What's going on? He was a businessman, and now the general is here. What good things did Wutie County produce? Please invite the general in!"

He has never met Chen Zhao.

When Chen Zhao took out the general's order.

The county magistrate knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your humble servant greets you, sir. I apologize for not coming to greet you in person. Please forgive me, General."

"Get up." Chen Zhao, sitting on the high seat, stared at the wine on the table for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "This general would like to ask the county magistrate for a favor."

The county magistrate clasped his fists and said, "Please command, General. I will obey you to the bitter end!"

Chen Zhao took out a portrait from his sleeve.

"This man is Jiang Jing, a fugitive. He has offended this general and insulted my wife. Could the county magistrate help me resolve this matter?"

this…

Isn’t this the man who just saved Yuan Ling?

What bad luck! A fugitive pretending to be a businessman.

The county magistrate bowed and kowtowed: "How dare he offend the general? I will not let him go!"

After Chen Zhao left.

The henchman asked, "Sir, how should we teach him a lesson? Give him a beating?"

The county magistrate put his hands behind his back, stroked his chin and thought.

"What's the big deal if a fugitive dies without anyone noticing? Go ahead and do it. Remember, be careful and cautious."
