Chapter 1850 I found out
But things are different now. Lu Sanzhu's words rekindled hope in the landlady's heart.
The county government had a new magistrate, and a new Lady Wen'an had also arrived. She had heard many rumors about Lady Wen'an these past few days, most of which were good, so perhaps she really could rescue that boy.
Thinking of this, the proprietress swallowed hard and quickly said, "That guy's name is Zhou Tiedong. He lives in Tuqiao Village. He's about your height and will be twenty after the New Year. He told me that he originally planned to get married to the girl from his hometown this year, but before the New Year, this happened. He's really unlucky."
Lu Sanzhu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The proprietress hurriedly asked, "Can he really be released? His parents used all their savings to compensate Chen Bing in order to save him. But Chen Bing still wouldn't let it go and insisted on keeping him in jail."
"Whether he can be released or not still needs to be investigated thoroughly. Although you say he is innocent, we can't just listen to your side of the story, right? Once the investigation is complete, those who should be released will be released, and those who should be arrested will be arrested," Lu Sanzhu said with an air of authority.
The proprietress nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that makes sense."
Now that he had found out the details, Lu Sanzhu was about to leave.
But after taking a couple of steps, he stopped, looked at the proprietress, and pointed in the direction of the neighboring house, "Their yard is connected to yours, right? Can you hear what they're saying from here?"
The proprietress immediately understood and whispered, "Yes, if you want to know what's going on over there, I'll take you to the backyard. They're probably still arguing right now; their voices are louder than usual, so you can hear them clearly."
Lu Sanzhu chuckled, "Lead the way."
Two people with gossip-loving souls entered the backyard of the fabric shop one after the other. The proprietress was right. As soon as they entered the backyard, angry curses coming from next door reached their ears.
The proprietress pointed to a tree in the yard, "I'll get you a ladder, and you can climb that tree. With the branches blocking your view, the neighbors won't be able to see you, but you can see everything clearly what's going on next door."
"Why would I need a ladder? No need, I can climb up myself."
After Lu Sanzhu finished speaking, he tied his robe up, grabbed the tree trunk with both hands, and quickly climbed up.
The proprietress was speechless. "..." Her speed and movements were just too swift.
Lu Sanzhu quickly found a comfortable position and leaned against the tree trunk, watching the commotion next door with great interest.
Shu Yu and the others waited in the carriage for a long time, but he still didn't come out of the cloth shop, which was really unbearable.
The old lady said listlessly, "What's wrong with the third son? He's just asking about that guy's name, does it really take this long? It's been half an hour already."
Shu Yu also found it strange. "That shouldn't be the case. For Uncle San, it's a piece of cake to ask about gossip. It wouldn't even take half a cup of tea."
"Could something have happened?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "If something really happens, Uncle San will definitely make a big fuss, and getting away with it won't be a problem."
After thinking about it, she decided to send Ying Dong over to take a look.
However, before Ying Dong could even get out of the car, he saw Lu Sanzhu, his face flushed like a teenager, rushing over in a hurry.
The old lady said irritably, "You're finally back! We thought something had happened to you. So, did you find out the person's name?"
"I found out. I not only found out the guy's name, but I also know the outcome of that farce."
