Chapter 156 The County Government Office is Surrounded
The lovable Shu Yu went to the veterinary clinic again; the cat from the other day was still there.
When the veterinarian saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Girl, you've finally come! If you hadn't come, we would have thought you didn't want this cat anymore."
Shu Yu came in and looked around. "How could I not want it? I was just busy the other day and got delayed. Where's my cat?"
"Here it is." The waiter led her to the backyard, stood in front of one of the cages, opened it, and took out the cat. "As you instructed, our manager has given this cat a thorough check-up. It was probably bullied when it was a stray. It's young and suffered quite a bit, with many hidden injuries. It's almost healed now, but it still needs some rest. The parasites on its body have also been treated, and it looks quite clean after its bath."
Shu Yu took the kitten. The kitten seemed to recognize her and meowed at her.
Its voice is soft and gentle, and its white fur is soft and clean, making it very lovable.
How old is this cat?
"About six months."
Shu Yu, "So small?" She frowned slightly. Could there be a problem with the sleeping potion she gave it last time?
She then asked the waiter to confirm that the cat was fine except for some minor injuries, and only then was she relieved.
Shu Yu had left some money at this veterinary clinic before, so the cat has been eating quite well these past few days, and it looks much better than when she first saw it.
She checked it over and, finding nothing wrong, said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you, I'll take it back now."
"Okay, if there are any problems, the young lady can bring it over again to take a look."
The waiter prepared a small basket for her, lined with scraps of cloth, and put the white cat inside.
Shu Yu then took the small basket and went back to Ningshui Street.
When they passed by the county government office, they found a large group of people standing outside, discussing the matter.
Because of her previous identity, Shu Yu always tried to avoid contact with the county government, and would always walk past the county government office in a hurry when passing by.
It's never been this lively before. Today, not only are there many onlookers, but several soldiers are also standing on the steps of the county government office, carrying knives and looking grim.
Shu Yu asked the person next to her, "What happened?"
The man immediately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that our county magistrate has committed a crime. An hour ago, a group of soldiers suddenly came, surrounded the entire county government office, and arrested the magistrate. The leader of the soldiers is still inside, and we don't know what's going on."
Shu Yu was surprised. The magistrate of Jiangyuan County had been arrested?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Soon, something will happen to the Shu family. Before that, they need to deal with the people below first before they can implicate him, add up the crimes, and sentence the Shu family.
It seems that it won't be long before the Shu family is arrested.
She needs to hurry.
Just as Shu Yu was about to leave, she suddenly heard another onlooker say, "I just overheard someone say that someone from the county government has escaped. Now all the city gates are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"What? Does that mean I can't go home today? No, I have to go check on it."
Shu Yu frowned. If she couldn't leave the city, wouldn't she also be unable to return to Shangshi Village today?
Fortunately, she had told her family a few days ago that if she was busy, she would stay at her shop in the county town so they wouldn't worry.
