Uncle Liu's face was full of sorrow.
"Dad, who is Uncle Liu?" Zhao Erya asked.
Zhao Er sighed and said, "Your Uncle Liu is from the Liujia Village next door to us. He's a distant relative of ours. He was arrested and thrown into prison for slaughtering a cow. How come he's still here after five years?"
Everyone looked at Uncle Liu in surprise.
It is true that cows cannot be slaughtered, but it is not that serious. Even if they are killed, they can just pay some money and that’s it... How can they be imprisoned for five years?
Uncle Liu's face was full of sorrow.
A middle-aged man beside him sighed and said, "Well, if it was just a cow, it would be fine. But Lao Liu went to town to borrow money from relatives. While he was resting in a teahouse, the teahouse caught fire and burned to the ground. At that time, some people said that Lao Liu was the one who set the fire."
Uncle Liu angrily said, "Later I found out it was all that Second Young Master Yuan behind this. He took a fancy to my daughter when she came to town, and after he put me in jail, he could do whatever he wanted!"
"I was thrown into jail because I offended Yuan Er." The middle-aged man sighed.
A few people on the side also echoed.
"By the way, why did your whole family come in?" Uncle Liu and his group cursed Yuan Er, and then thought of Zhao Er's family.
Zhao Er looked worried: "Is the Yuan Er you are talking about the mayor's brother-in-law?"
"Apart from him, who else could have harmed us so badly?" Uncle Liu's eyes widened.
When Yuan Er was mentioned, many people in the cell looked at him with hatred.
Zhao Er said worriedly, "Our family's coming here is probably related to that Yuan Er."
"That Yuan Er?"
Zhao Er: "They accused Miss Yun of killing Yuan Er."
"Miss Yun?" Everyone was puzzled.
Zhao Er pointed at Su Luo.
"Killed Yuan Er?"
"How is that possible? Yuan Er is the mayor's brother-in-law! He's a tyrant in Hua Town. Who would dare to kill him?"
"This girl looks so delicate, how could she kill Yuan Er? Yuan Er is a martial arts master."
"Yuan Er? This scourge has been around for thousands of years. How could this scourge die so easily?"
Everyone expressed disbelief and thought Zhao Er was joking.
Zhao Er smiled bitterly: "So you really don't know anything?"
Uncle Liu looked at Zhao Er in shock: "You mean..."
"Yuan Er is truly dead. He was killed by a flowerpot on the mayor's windowsill a few days ago. There were at least a hundred people on the street at the time, and every one of them was an eyewitness." Zhao Er said in distress. "With so many witnesses, they can still lie with their eyes open, saying that our Miss Yun killed Yuan Er? Do they really think all of us are blind and stupid?"
"Wait—" Uncle Liu stood up from the ground with a whoosh. He grabbed Zhao Er in surprise and said, "What did you just say? Yuan Er is really dead? Really, really dead?!"
Before Uncle Liu came in, he sent his wife and daughter to be raised by relatives. Although his family was not destroyed by Yuan Er, the Qin people were unable to reunite because of him, so he hated Yuan Er to the core.
The others also stared!
Zhao Er nodded and said, "Of course this is true. So many people in our town saw it with their own eyes. I wouldn't dare lie to you."
Uncle Liu didn't ask Zhao Er any more questions. He saw a jailer not far away, so he shouted for him to come over.
The jailer didn't want to say anything at first. It's better to have less trouble than more. Who wants to cause trouble?
