Chapter 167 Worried about you
Meng Yunzheng asked again, "Want to go together?"
He pointed to the two people who were tied up, gesturing to her.
After hesitating for a moment, Shu Yu nodded in agreement.
She knew that Meng Yunzheng was thinking of her, and Shu Yu always appreciated his kindness.
Soon, as Meng Yunzheng had instructed, she went to the street, found the soldiers who were searching for the fugitive, and brought him over.
He then went to the county government office as a witness and a hero in the capture of the fugitive.
To Shu Yu's surprise, the officials now in charge of the county government were very young, looking to be only in their twenties.
However, his expression was very serious. After learning the whole story, he came over and nodded to Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu. "Young Master Meng, Miss Lu, thank you both for capturing the fugitive. As for the injured Young Master Zhao, I will find the best doctor in the city to take a look. You two have done me a great service. Is there any reward you would like?"
Meng Yunzheng then looked at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu has already observed that this Lord Xiang is currently acting as the magistrate of Jiangyuan County and will remain here to serve as an official until the imperial court sends a new magistrate.
The imperial court will appoint officials, and waiting for them to arrive will certainly take more than three months.
Shu Yu immediately said, "My lord, I haven't thought of anything yet. Could you please keep it for now?" If needed, it might come in handy at a crucial moment.
The man was taken aback, somewhat surprised by her answer.
However, he readily agreed, "Of course."
He then turned to look at Meng Yunzheng, "And you?"
Shu Yu wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Xiang Daren and Meng Yunzheng spoke to each other in a much more casual tone. Could these two know each other?
Like Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng decided to keep it for now and ask for it again when he thought of it.
After they finished speaking, the two did not linger at the county office. Magistrate Xiang seemed very busy, especially since the fugitive had just been captured and had not yet been interrogated.
Shu Yu came out of the county government office, slowly exhaled, and said to Meng Yunzheng, "I originally wanted to rent a small courtyard near your house when I came to see you today, but it's so late now, I can only wait until tomorrow."
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that she wanted to rent a house near his home.
Shu Yu hugged the lucky cat and said, "I have to go back now. See you tomorrow morning."
"Goodbye." Meng Yunzheng opened his mouth silently.
The two quickly parted ways and went in different directions.
Shu Yu went straight back to the shop, but as soon as she reached the door, she saw two familiar figures standing there, looking extremely anxious.
Shu Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward, "Sister, Brother Da Niu."
Hearing the familiar voice, Daya turned around abruptly. Seeing that she was alright, she breathed a long sigh of relief and ran over, saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Shu Yu looked down at herself. "What could be wrong with me? Why did you all get here?"
As she spoke, she opened the door and let the two of them in.
Daya said anxiously, “Yesterday we heard that something happened in the county town. The city gates were sealed off, and no one was allowed to go in or out. Fortunately, you can stay in the shop, so we can feel a little more at ease. But today some uncles from the village came to the county town, but the city gates were still closed, and they had to turn back. We are worried that something big has happened inside, and we don’t know when the city gates will open. Grandma and Mom and Dad are very anxious, so I came with Brother Da Niu to check on things.”
