Chapter 271 Xiang Weinan suspects Shu Yu
Xiang Weinan suddenly snapped out of his daze, slapping his forehead. "Oh, right, right, I almost forgot about that. The Jiang family has been having some trouble lately, so Jiang Li really doesn't have much time to come see her."
Huli nodded.
Xiang Weinan asked, "The Jiang family seems to have reported a case, right? Still no leads on the killer?"
"No, Constable Shi and his men went to look for several bearded men, but none of them were the person Jiang Li was talking about. The Jiang family themselves haven't found him either, and things are in complete chaos right now."
Most importantly, they are very busy. Who has so much time to help a spoiled brat who is clearly seeking revenge find the murderer? Anyway, the person is not seriously injured, so a token effort is enough. It would be better to use the remaining manpower to find Miss Lu's fourth uncle.
Xiang Weinan sat down and began to ponder, "Tell me, how could this be such a coincidence? Jiang Li was just about to make a move on Lu Shuyu when someone hit him on the head."
Hu Li asked in surprise, "Sir, do you mean this matter is related to Miss Lu?"
"Hmm, I suspect that the bearded man might be someone she secretly bribed. The Lu family used to be poor, but now that they own a shop, they can easily bribe someone for a few dozen taels of silver."
Several tens of taels?
If Shu Yu heard this, she would probably roll her eyes twice.
Let alone tens of taels of silver, she felt that even hiring someone to beat Jiang Li for tens of wen was not worthy of the other party.
However, she did not expect that the first person to suspect her would be Xiang Weinan, the highest-ranking official in Jiangyuan County.
Fortunately, he was only guessing; she would never admit to something without evidence.
At this moment, the group had followed Madam Liu to the pavilion where Master Wen and the others were.
They heard that Master Wen was having a passionate and lively discussion with several students, so they decided not to disturb him and simply sat down to wait.
Da Hu listened to them talking with great interest. Although he couldn't understand a single word, it didn't stop his eyes from shining, his little hands from clenching tightly, and his whole body from being excited.
Unlike the studious Da Hu, Lu Sanzhu was disheartened and deeply regretted coming with Shu Yu and the others.
If he had known, he should have suggested going home after the Wen family finished their snacks.
Lu Sanzhu sighed, listlessly leaning against the railing. Listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the peach blossom grove, he almost fell asleep.
He was only jolted awake when a loud shout of "Good!" came from the Master's side.
He was annoyed as soon as he woke up; he hated being woken up when he was sleeping soundly.
If it weren't for Ayu being there, he would have started cursing.
Lu Sanzhu grew impatient. Seeing that Shu Yu and Da Hu's attention was focused on the pavilion in front of them, he rolled his eyes, stood up silently, took a few steps back, and quickly slipped away.
Shu Yu knew he had run away, but she didn't care.
Lu Sanzhu is a grown man; she can't keep him tied down forever. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can leave whenever he wants.
Moreover, Master Wen and the others have now finished their work and are preparing to rest.
Madam Liu immediately stepped forward, taking a handkerchief to wipe Master Wen's sweat while whispering something to him.
Before long, Master Wen and his friends turned around and looked at Shu Yu and Da Hu.
Da Hu straightened his back instantly, gripped the bag strap, and blinked.
Master Wen smiled immediately, waved to him, and said kindly, "You are Lu Dahu? Come here and let me take a look."
Da Hu glanced back at Shu Yu, who gently nudged him. "Go on."
