Chapter 269: The little fish really took the bait
Wang He followed the sound of crying.
By the small river not far away, I saw the figure I had been thinking about day and night.
Wang He just felt his chest was filled.
He ran over as fast as he could.
When he ran to Qingxiao, Wang He suddenly stopped.
He stood two meters away from Qingxiao, his throat tightened: "...Miss..."
Qingxiao's lips curled up.
Oh my, the little fish really took the bait.
It seems that her acting skills are really good, and she always catches fish.
When Qingxiao saw Wang He, he quickly turned his head away and "panicked" to wipe away his non-existent tears.
"Brother Wang He, why are you here?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be here."
"I...I...I must look ugly like this. You, don't look at me."
Wang He felt soft-hearted when he saw Qingxiao crying like this.
"I was just on patrol, and I patrolled here."
"girl……"
"Brother Wang He, just call me Cui Yu." Qing Xiao lowered his head.
To be honest, the name that the boss lady made up is really tacky.
It's Cui Yu, why not Cui Hua?
Wang He originally thought that his stingy sister-in-law was lying to him, but when he heard the girl introduce herself, he realized that he had wronged his sister-in-law.
Wang He bowed and said, "Miss Cuiyu."
"I haven't had time to thank you yet. The wine last time was very delicious, and the roast chicken was also delicious. Thank you."
Qing Xiao smiled shyly: "As long as Brother Wang He likes it."
"I don't know your taste, so I just bought it randomly. It's my greatest honor that you don't mind it."
"that……"
Qing Xiao looked around and said, "I... I have something else to do. I have to go. I... Brother Wang He, I'm very happy to see you. We may not have this chance again in the future."
Leaving only this sentence, Qingxiao ran away quickly.
While running, he wiped away his tears.
Wang He's heart was broken.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Cui Yu, I heard from my sister-in-law that your family forced you to marry a nobleman?"
"You said there would be no chance in the future. Is that because you're getting married?"
Qingxiao stopped.
She looked at Wang He in horror: "You, you know everything?"
Qing Xiao started crying again: "I can't help it."
"My father was imprisoned and his fate was unknown. My mother sought help from many people. A nobleman took a liking to me and asked me to be his concubine. He said that if I became his concubine, he would release my father. I couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so I had to agree."
When Wang He heard this, he realized that it matched what his sister-in-law had said.
Her sister-in-law hasn't really lied to her yet.
Wang He no longer had any doubts about Qingxiao.
"Miss Cuiyu, please stop crying. Why don't you tell me who your father is and what crime he committed? Don't underestimate me because I'm just a yamen runner. We have a good relationship with the jailer and have face in front of the county magistrate. Maybe I can be of some help."
Qingxiao had been acting for so long and finally got something in return, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
She could actually just sneak in and investigate.
But she always felt that Feiyang County was a bit strange.
After leaving the small restaurant, she went to five more locations.
Those five strongholds were either guarded by countless experts or were directly destroyed.
In addition, all the masters sent by Prince Ling disappeared in Feiyang County. Qingxiao keenly realized that the undercurrent in Feiyang County was more serious than she thought.
In order not to alert the enemy, she took the trouble to catch the small fish in Wang River.
Wanghe is a small fish, and small fish are often inconspicuous.
This little fish may seem inconspicuous, but it is responsible for the most crucial task – catching people.
Using Wanghe River as a breakthrough point will result in the lowest cost and the greatest gains.
Qing Xiao said timidly: "Can I, can I tell you?"
"My father's affairs are a bit complicated. Will it cause you trouble if I tell you? If it does, I absolutely cannot do it."
Wang He was very surprised to see Qingxiao relying on him.
He patted his chest and said something ambiguous: "You talk first, it's not too late to talk after you've finished."
Qingxiao made up a story that her father was working as a handyman in a small restaurant, but was taken away by the government and there had been no news of him for a month.
Wang He's face didn't look good.
"Your father, is it related to the diner?"
Qing Xiao: "Yes, my father was also introduced there by someone. He said the wages there were high and the work was easy. He had only been working there for a short time, and who knew he would encounter something like this."
"Brother Wang He, if you're in trouble, don't say anything more. My mother and I have already come up with a solution. I, I can't let you get involved."
Wang He waved his hand: "It's not that complicated."
"That's right...the people who were arrested at the small restaurant were being watched by higher-ups."
Wang He pointed upwards and said, "Even the governor of Feiyang County can't interfere."
Qingxiao's face turned pale.
"An official higher than the county magistrate?"
"In Feiyang County, isn't the most powerful person the county governor? The emperor is far away, and my father is just a handyman. How, how did he offend the people above him?"
Qing Xiao grabbed Wang He's hand, tears and fear in his eyes: "Brother Wang He, tell me the truth, is my father hopeless?"
Wang He was originally in a difficult situation.
The people from the small restaurant were imprisoned in Feiyang County Prison, but they, the yamen runners, had no authority to interfere.
He knew some inside information, but some of it would cost him his life if he said it out loud.
Wang He wanted to refuse.
Unexpectedly, someone grabbed his hand.
The soft, boneless little hand grasped his rough big hand, as if grasping his heart.
Wang He's heart was pounding.
He was completely mesmerized and couldn't control his mouth: "Cui Yu, I'm only telling you this. That little restaurant is not an ordinary little restaurant. It's a stronghold."
"The county governor originally didn't dare to attack the people in the stronghold, but last autumn, a group of people suddenly arrived. They were very skilled in martial arts and very terrifying. When the county governor saw their leader, he was completely frightened and his voice trembled as he knelt."
When Wang He said this, his eyes showed some struggle.
Qingxiao has already asked the key question, so he can't give up halfway.
She placed her finger on Wang He's lips.
"Brother Wang He, stop, stop talking." Qing Xiao pretended to be trembling with fear, tears welling up in his eyes. "I already know. I know my father is in big trouble."
"You must not get involved in this again."
"My family has a way to save my father. You, don't worry about it anymore. My mother has already thought of a good solution. I just need to marry that noble man and my father will be able to come out."
"Today, let's pretend we've never met. I'm very happy."
Qingxiao said this and was about to leave.
Wang He's heart was soft and broken.
The struggle in his eyes also disappeared.
"Sister Cuiyu, this matter is indeed beyond my ability, but there are some things I can tell you."
"That so-called noble person might be deceiving you and your mother."
"Not to mention the nobles, even the county governor has no right to ask."
"In fact, it's not just your father who's implicated. There are also several other strongholds where many people have been arrested. Some of them are even people I know, and they're not criminals at all."
Wang He gritted his teeth.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sister Cuiyu, I'm risking my life."
"Let me tell you, the leader of those people is..."
