Chapter 84 Acting
The woman was really scared and shouted with all her might, "The young lady is still alive. The young lady was stolen by the son-in-law."
he tui——
Chu Ci didn't care about his image and spat on the spot. He couldn't help but curse: "You cheap bone, do you think you, an accomplice, are you still an innocent person?"
If Chu Ci had some natural affection for her because they were both women and she was holding a baby girl, then now, that affection had completely vanished.
"Grandpa, lock him up. Let Xiaowu interrogate him slowly. As for that poor lady, if she is really dead, we will help her get revenge." Chu Ci said this with murderous intent.
The woman was truly frightened. "My servant Xiao Cui, your son-in-law is the nephew of the governor of Lianzhou."
I thought he was some big shot, but it turns out he’s just the nephew of the Lianzhou governor?
Chu Ci couldn't help but roll his eyes and looked around.
Finally, he found a rag that had fallen into the flower bed and stuffed it into Xiao Cui's mouth. He was about to ask Xiao Wu to take the person away, but found that Xiao Wu had not returned yet.
Xiaowu shouldn’t be so slow in going to find someone?
Chu Ci turned to look at the calm Chu Patriarch, who nodded. "Ah Ci guessed right. Someone doesn't want us to go."
"Then grandpa, should we wait for the other party to make a move, or should we rush over now?" After getting the affirmation from the head of the Chu family, Chu Ci turned his eyes and asked.
"What does Ah Ci want to do?" Since the other party had already made a move, there was no way he didn't have a backup plan. The chances of reaching the government office safely today were slim, so the head of the Chu family let Chu Ci do what he wanted.
"Grandpa, let's do this..." Chu Ci pulled the head of the Chu family and whispered to him.
The more Patriarch Chu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he even laughed out loud in the end.
But he also felt that laughing like this would damage his image, so the Chu family head quickly coughed and said, "Aci's idea is very good."
At the gate of the government office, Governor Yang Dashuan confirmed that the plague in Lianzhou had been eradicated, and that the Chu family's grandfather and grandson would teach how to grow potatoes in front of the government office, so he hurried back.
And as soon as he came back, he took over all matters from Zhang Yaoyang by using both soft and hard tactics.
That morning, he was waiting at the gate of the government office before dawn.
People who don’t know the truth think that Governor Yang loves his people like his own children!
In fact, some people were secretly allowed to infiltrate the people and spread some innuendos.
Comments such as "Why haven't the Chu family come yet?" "Did they change their mind at the last minute?" "I heard that the Chu family's potatoes were stolen."
This caused panic among the people who arrived.
The time announced had come, but the people didn't even see the shadow of the Chu family.
Ma Ming sent people to the house several times to inform them, but all his calls fell on deaf ears. His heart sank to the bottom.
Just when Ma Ming thought his master was about to be plotted against by the old man Yang Dashuan again, Chu Ci suddenly appeared. She was covered in dust, her face stained with blood, and she ran towards them in fear.
"Master Zhang, help us! Someone wants to kill us. Grandpa and great-grandfather have been captured by them!"
"What about the potatoes? Are they still there?" Zhang Yaoyang is worthy of being Zhang Yaoyang. Although it was not intentional, this assist was quite clever.
Chu Ci seemed hurt by Zhang Yaoyang's words and was slightly stunned. "All the potatoes in the yard have been taken away. It will take at least two weeks to transport them back."
After saying this, Chu Ci knelt down in front of Zhang Yaoyang. "Master Zhang, please save my two grandfathers. Without them, who else can teach the people how to grow potatoes?"
Chu Ci, even though she looked like she was crying miserably, she was actually muttering in her heart: I just knelt too hard, my knees hurt. I won't do this again next time!
Before, most people were indifferent to the matter, but now they all became anxious when they heard that the high-yield crops they had been talking about were gone.
"Sir, this murderer is extremely vicious and must be investigated thoroughly!" Under the leadership of Chu Ci, except for the person arranged by Governor Yang to lead the charge, all the others knelt down in front of Zhang Yaoyang.
When Governor Yang saw this, he gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Chu Ci and was about to gesture to the people in the crowd to lead the rhythm and guide public opinion.
But then he saw a group of law enforcement officers in brocade uniforms armed with swords rushing forward like wolves and tigers, taking away all his men without leaving a single one alive.
The Jinyi law enforcement officers are under the emperor's command. Where did these people come from?
Could it be that the emperor knew all the things he had done before? For a moment, Yang Dashuan was scared to death.
The advisor beside him saw that the situation was not good and quickly reminded him, "Sir, don't forget that the potatoes were shipped to Kyoto early this morning. It's not uncommon for Jinyi law enforcement officers to appear here."
Upon hearing this, Governor Yang quickly collected himself and said, "Indeed, the potatoes were presented to the Emperor by me. The Jinyi Enforcement Officers' actions were merely an accident."
Governor Yang calmed himself down, stood up, cleared his throat, and then planned to repeat his old trick.
At the command of the purple-robed emissary in the dark, Liu Ping led a group of people who had been defrauded by the "Holy Mother Church" and rushed over, dragging a woman in a plain dress. "Sir, please help us!"
The woman in the plain dress was none other than his contact person with the "Holy Mother Church", and his uneasiness grew stronger.
But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yang Dashuan could only pretend not to know him. "Who is the person kneeling? What do you need me to do for you?"
"Commoner Liu Ping." "Commoner Wang Er." "Commoner Niu Wu"...
More than a dozen people introduced themselves one by one, then said in unison, "We want to sue Yingniang, the guardian of the 'Holy Mother Church,' for defrauding people with counterfeit medicine."
At this moment, the people who followed Chu Ci and knelt beside Zhang Yaoyang looked at each other in confusion. Did they kneel to the wrong person? What should they do?
Even Chu Ci was somewhat confused. When did the Jinyi Law Enforcement come? What was their purpose in putting on this act?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, he saw Fan Jingrui and the Fifth Prince at the corner.
Seeing Chu Ci looking at him, Fan Jingrui quickly pointed to the sky and then to Zhang Yaoyang, who also looked confused.
It turns out that the Jinyi Law Enforcement came for Zhang Yaoyang. Who would have thought that this simpleton held such a high position in Xing Situ's heart? What a wonderful relationship.
Then she can watch the show with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci no longer pretended to be weak, wiped the chicken blood off his face, and climbed up. This action directly stunned the people around him.
But they are just ordinary people, and their biggest wish in life is to fill their stomachs.
They could only pretend not to see it, and some smart people were even quietly retreating.
