Chapter 252: The Fu Official Was Executed
Seeing that the two of them were going out, Wen Shiyan had to go with them.
Chu Huaixu and Huo Qingchen also want to go along.
Chu Huaishan sat lazily in his seat, "I won't go, you guys go."
Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaishan with concern, "Master, if you don't go, what will you eat?"
"Don't worry, the Fu family will prepare a meal, it will definitely be very sumptuous, do you want to stay and eat with us?"
Yu Youning hesitated for a moment, but finally refused.
"I'm going out to eat tonight, and then we'll be back at the mansion tomorrow."
As he spoke, Yu Youning smiled brightly.
She is so smart!
When the others heard Yu Youning's words, they also started laughing.
Jiang Lingzhou walked to Chu Huaishan at this time, "Master, I will stay with you!"
"No need." Chu Huaishan refused directly, "I have Lord Yuwen to accompany me, so I don't need you. Go out with Youning and the others!"
As he spoke, Chu Huaishan sighed.
This apprentice is good in every way, except that he cares too much about others and is too considerate.
Jiang Lingzhou felt relieved instantly when he heard that someone was accompanying Chu Huaishan.
With Lord Yuwen and his men accompanying Master, Master will not only not be bored, but also will not be in any danger!
Thinking this in his heart, Jiang Lingzhou looked towards Yuwen Cheng and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuwen!"
Yuwen Cheng, “.......”
What are you thanking me for?
Who asked for his opinion?
No one cares whether he agrees or not!
In the end, Yuwen Cheng watched Yu Youning and others leave the door.
The only thing that made Yuwen Cheng feel at ease was that at least Liuyun was with him, otherwise he would really be worried.
When we left Fu's house, it was already dusk.
Although it was getting dark, there were still many people walking outside.
The whole city is very lively, and the shops on the street are next to each other.
Although there was no local to lead the way, Yu Youning was born with the ability to find delicious food by smelling it.
Soon, they arrived at an old restaurant.
Just by looking at the building, you can tell that this old restaurant is very old.
Although such old restaurants are not as famous as those big restaurants, they sell authentic local dishes.
It was just dinner time, but the old restaurant was already half full.
As soon as Yu Youning and the others entered the house, a waiter came up to greet them and invited them to sit in the private room.
Yu Youning shook his head and said, "Just find us a big table. We won't go to the private room."
The waiter subconsciously looked at Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan.
Wen Shiyan smiled and said, "Just do as she says."
The waiter quickly said with a smile, "Dear guests, please come in!"
The group followed the waiter and soon sat down at a large round table in the corner.
The waiter was about to announce the names of the dishes when he was stopped by Yu Youning.
"Serve two of each of your signature dishes!"
As she spoke, she took out a small gold ingot from her purse and showed it to the waiter.
"I really want to eat, I'm not here to cause trouble!"
Listening to Yu Youning's explanation in a baby voice and looking at the gold ingots she took out, the waiter smiled more sincerely than before.
That smile just now was meant to entertain the guests.
Now it was a genuine smile.
"Don't worry, miss. I'll ask the chef to prepare the food. It won't be long before it's served."
After the waiter left, Yu Youning looked around with wide eyes.
In just a short while, many more diners came.
At this time, the lobby was already full.
Fortunately, they arrived early, otherwise there would be no seats for them on the first floor.
Listening to their accents and the fact that they greet each other when they meet, you can tell that they are all locals.
Originally, what they said were some ordinary words, and Yu Youning didn't take it to heart.
But soon, she heard people at the next table talking about the Fu family.
"Have you heard? The Fu family is marrying off their daughter today, but the eldest daughter was kidnapped by bandits."
"Such a big thing, how could we not have heard of it!" said another person, "These bandits are really bold. They even dared to rob the young lady of the Fu family. I'm afraid they must be tired of living!"
The person who spoke first laughed at this moment, "When I heard you say that, I knew you definitely didn't get the latest news. The eldest daughter of the Fu family is back!"
"Back? When?"
"Just now! Not only did the eldest daughter of the Fu family return, but Governor Fu also returned, and he was seriously injured!"
"Ah? Injured? Is this God's will?"
"What are you talking about! You don't want to live anymore?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all those who were chatting enthusiastically just now shut up at this moment.
Not only did they quiet down, but the entire lobby was silent at this moment.
The scene looks somewhat weird.
Yu Youning was listening with her ears perked up, but suddenly she could hear no sound. She felt very anxious and looked towards the man who had just spoken.
"Uncle, why don't you say anything?"
When the man heard Yu Youning's words, his face instantly turned pale as paper. He was sitting there fine before, but suddenly he slipped off the stool and fell to the ground.
This sudden scene stunned Yu Youning.
She just asked a question, why did he get so scared that he sat down on the ground?
Is what she just said really that much scarier?
While Yu Youning was still thinking, the man had already turned over on the ground, from sitting to kneeling.
"Miss, please spare me. I didn't mean to say anything bad about Governor Fu. I just drank too much. I didn't mean it!"
Yu Youning subconsciously looked towards the table.
The table was empty.
Not to mention wine, there wasn't even a peanut.
It was obvious that this person had just arrived and had just ordered the dishes, and the food had not even been placed on the table yet!
Yu Youning blinked and asked curiously, "Why are you so scared?"
The man now also had a clear look at the people at Yu Youning's table.
Three adults and four children.
The clothes she wears look simple in style, but if you look closely you can tell that the materials are not cheap.
Low-key yet luxurious, that's what people like them are like.
Such a person can be seen at first glance to have an extraordinary background.
Maybe he is a relative of the Fu family.
He himself spoke ill of Governor Fu in front of Fu's relatives.
If this word reaches the ears of Governor Fu...
The man hardly dared to think any further. His face turned even paler than before, and his body was shaking constantly.
"I really know I was wrong, please forgive me, miss!"
Yu Youning suddenly realized, "Do you think we're from the Fu family? You misunderstood, we're not. We're just curious about what kind of person Governor Fu is. You said his injury was retribution, so he must have done a lot of bad things. Can you tell us about it?"
Although Yu Youning said this, the man obviously didn't believe it.
Seeing that he was still trembling and unwilling to speak, Yu Youning did not embarrass him, "If you don't want to talk, forget it, just get up!"
The man didn't feel anything at first, but when he saw that Yu Youning and the others had withdrawn their gaze and were no longer staring at him, he dared to believe that Yu Youning really wanted him to get up.
After using his hands and feet to get up from the ground, the man stopped eating and left with his friends.
Looking at their departing backs, Yu Youning frowned.
"He's so scared, it must be because Governor Fu is so mean."
Chu Huaixu nodded in agreement, "That should be the case. But Youning, don't worry. I'll have someone conduct a thorough investigation tomorrow."
Since we have encountered this problem, we must resolve it completely before leaving!
"good!"
Yu Youning nodded vigorously.
Just at this time, the waiter came with the food.
Looking at the increasing amount of food on the table, Yu Youning's attention was quickly attracted by the delicious food.
There are many kinds of pasta here, and even some dishes contain various kinds of pancakes or noodles.
Yu Youning had never eaten like this before, and he felt extremely surprised when he took a bite.
Although there was a lot of food, it was all eaten up in the end without any leftovers.
After they finished their meal, they went out and it was already dark outside.
However, there are many lights hanging on the streets, and under the illumination of these lights, the streets are still bustling and very lively and prosperous.
Looking at these vendors and the people coming and going, Yu Youning really couldn't imagine what Governor Fu had done to scare the man so much.
This doubt was finally solved at noon the next day.
Yuwen Cheng asked his men to investigate, and after investigating for quite some time, they finally got some clues.
"For many years, this man surnamed Fu has accepted bribes and supported wealthy businessmen in persecuting the people, forcing women into prostitution, and even covering up for those child traffickers."
The more Yu Wencheng spoke, the angrier he became, and his whole face turned red.
"He looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect that he did such things behind the scenes! No wonder he could kill his own daughter and wanted to silence us all. It turns out that he has done so many bad things that he has developed such courage a long time ago!" Wen Shiyan said.
Yu Youning was shocked and angry, "How could he be so mean!"
To sum it up in words, it only takes a few sentences.
But behind these words, no one knows how many people have suffered from them.
No wonder the man was so scared yesterday.
If what he said yesterday had really been heard by Governor Fu, his family would surely have been destroyed.
Anyone would be scared if this happened to them!
Yuwen Cheng presented a tray with some books on it.
"These were found in the secret compartment of the study. They are all account books and some lists of people who were involved in the corruption and some of the victims..."
Chu Huaixu took it and opened it with Yu Youning to take a look.
Even though they didn't read it page by page, but just flipped through it roughly, the two of them were still so angry that their eyes turned red.
Chu Huaixu closed the books and said, "Make a copy. If anyone is still alive, find them and give them houses and silver as compensation.
The Fu family's property will be confiscated, and the corrupt official surnamed Fu will be executed immediately. The execution will take place tomorrow!"
Yuwen Cheng was a little worried, "Your Highness, aren't you waiting for news from the Emperor?"
