Chapter 088 Conspiracy
Is she trying to escape?
Apart from this possibility, Li Mumu couldn't think of anything else.
There is no water here, and there is desert all around. No one would believe if we said we were looking for food.
Xie Xun naturally saw it too. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Mumu also staring at the direction the man left. "Do you need me to go over and take a look?"
Li Mumu shook her head. Lin Siyan had no money or food, and she didn't have enough to eat every day. She didn't have the physical strength to keep up. What's more, she was pregnant, so there was no way she could escape.
So there was no need to cause trouble, not to mention that she seemed to think that the Li family didn't hate her enough.
If one person runs away, the whole family will be held responsible. Lin Siyan is deeply afraid that her scumbag father will change his mind about her.
It won't be long before she comes back on her own without you having to look for her.
Of course, if she doesn't want to live anymore, just pretend she didn't say anything.
Gu Yu angrily asked, "Why you? Why can't it be me?"
Xie Xun looked at the fat boy who was only half his height and sneered, "You? Are you sure you don't need me to bring you back later?"
"I... huh, my cousin, he bullied me." Gu Yu went to Li Yunchao for help with grievance.
Li Yunchao said, "I think what he said makes sense. Have you forgotten that you turned around several times before..."
"Cousin!" Gu Yu interrupted Li Yunchao loudly, "That's all in the past. Don't talk about it. It's embarrassing. I have to save face too."
Li Yunye, however, took advantage of the situation and said, "It seems like it wasn't that long ago, just two days ago!"
"Second cousin! Could you please not say these things in front of my cousin?"
Li Mumu laughed. She swore she was trying to hold it back, but the little fat boy was so cute. "Cousin, I won't laugh at you."
The children came back talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened.
Maybe it was because the food at the Gu family was too delicious, or maybe it was because Lin Siyan was too insignificant in the Li family now, so it took a long time for everyone to realize that Lin Siyan was missing.
"Where's the man?" asked Mrs. Li. "Whose bed did the little bitch get into again? This slut, does she feel itchy without a man for a day?"
In fact, after Zhang Xiang's death, even if people had the intention to do something bad, they didn't have the courage to do it, and incidents of bullying female prisoners became much less common.
Mrs. Li's voice was loud, and the resting yamen runners also heard it. Liuzi was the first to rush out, "What? Who's missing?"
Li Yuan looked at his mother unhappily, "Master, my concubine is missing, but don't worry, she's a woman, she can't walk far, maybe she went to relieve herself."
Just when Liuzi thought it was possible, Li Yunye said slowly, "She's been out for quite a while. Could something have gone wrong? We just saw her going over there, and it's been nearly half an hour."
"What?" Liuzi's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Losing a prisoner is a big trouble.
Luo Geng and Tao Xing did not dare to be negligent. The prisoner had escaped, which meant that they, the yamen runners, had neglected their duties, and they would lose their heads.
And this matter cannot be concealed.
"Where did you go?" Luo Geng asked anxiously.
Li Yunjue pointed in the direction Lin Siyan left and said, "That way, she's leaving really fast."
"Sir, please don't worry. She's a woman and she won't run away..."
"She's not running away? Then why hasn't she come back in half an hour? Is she taking a shit or giving birth?" Tao Xing whipped Li Yuan. "I'm telling you, if she ran away, your Li family wouldn't have an easy time either. I think you guys are in collusion."
The whip was hit with great force, and his clothes were torn. Blood oozed out immediately. Li Yuan gasped in pain and looked at Tao Xing hatefully.
He remembered this whipping and would return it tenfold one day.
Mrs. Li panicked. "This bitch is the one who harmed our family. Sir, it has nothing to do with us. If we knew she had escaped, we would definitely tell you."
"Then why are you only realizing now that you, the Li family, are the most cunning? Do you think we are all fools?"
Old Mrs. Li was also whipped for talking too much. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground wailing.
Needless to say, the yamen runners at this moment had the same goal, which was to quickly catch the escaped Lin Siyan.
Although she was not an important person, it would be a big problem if there were fewer prisoners in the exile area.
But we have to keep the prisoners here, otherwise what if they escape again?
"I'll take a few people with me, and Brother Tao, you stay behind to guard it." Liuzi said.
Originally, no one objected to this decision.
After hearing this, Li Mumu looked at Liuzi. After all, he was still young and didn't know how treacherous people could be.
Those who followed him were all Luo Geng's men. No matter what happened, no one would know the truth, and they would just have to do whatever they said.
Considering Liuzi's character, Li Mumu didn't want anything to happen to him. After all, if something happened to him, his future exile would not be easy.
She took a few steps forward and tugged at the corner of Liuzi's clothes.
"What's wrong? Mumu!" Liuzi asked softly.
He liked this little girl very much, not only because she always brought him food, but also because she was likable.
Li Mumu hooked her finger at him, motioning him to squat down.
Liuzi nodded and said, "Hurry up and tell me, I'm going to catch him."
However, when he bent down and heard what Li Mumu said in her ear, his face changed slightly, and then he looked at Li Mumu in disbelief, silently asking if what she said was true?
Li Mumu nodded, indicating that she was not lying.
Liuzi stood up and said, "The prisoners here are more important. Let me guard them. Brother Tao, you take two people and go with Brother Luo."
Tao Xing didn't really want to move. After all, he just had to stay and watch without having to leave. "Why?"
Although Liuzi is the boss, he rarely expresses his opinions because he is the youngest and does not use his power to oppress others.
But this time, his attitude was unusually firm and even a bit dignified. "I'm the boss. You just do what I arrange."
Tao Xing took a deep breath and sneered at him, "Good boy, boss, hehe...Okay, you have the guts, let's go, Lao Luo!"
Luo Geng glanced at Li Mumu, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
But Li Mumu was not afraid, instead she met his gaze and looked over. Luo Geng thought he was seeing things, otherwise how could such a young child's eyes be filled with provocation?
After they left, Liuzi was extremely nervous. He had just managed to suppress Tao Xing with great effort. He secretly asked Li Mumu, "Is what you just said true? Are they really going to harm me?"
Li Mumu nodded. She was not trying to sow discord, but was listening carefully to what Luo Geng was saying to Lin Siyan that morning. However, she couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away.
Just now she couldn't understand why Lin Siyan was so stupid as to run away, and just when Liuzi said he wanted to chase her.
Everything became clear.
