Chapter 251 A Mistake

Yu Sanbao thanked the yamen runner solemnly, took the runner's hand, stuffed a silver ingot into his pocket, and whispered, "Brother, I'm indebted to you and Second Brother Xie this time. Can you tell me more about what's going on?"

He smiled bitterly and said, "We have known each other for such a long time, and you know the kind of person my Huai is. It is absolutely impossible for him to do something like raping a woman..."

The yamen runner put the silver in his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Of course I believe Huai'er, but the problem is that the woman was screaming for help in the room at that time. The waiter at the inn heard it and rushed to report to the authorities. When they arrived, they saw Huai'er and the woman both naked on the ground. Huai'er was still on top of the woman, and his face was covered in blood. The woman cried and called him a beast... This... Captain Xie was unwilling to believe it, but this was also a case of both the person being stolen and the person being captured... Captain Xie had no choice but to lock up Huai'er and take him to the yamen."

The yamen runner looked at Yu Sanbao's expression and his voice became even lower.

Yu Sanbao had just firmly believed that Huai Ge'er would never do such a thing. After hearing the description given by the yamen runner, he was even more certain that someone had set a trap for Huai Ge'er.

He took a deep breath and asked the yamen runner, "I wonder when the county magistrate plans to hear Huai'er's case?"

The yamen runner lowered his voice and said, "Our master said that tomorrow... Mr. Yu San, you must hold on tight."

Yu Sanbao nodded and thanked the runner.

After the bailiff left, Yu Sanbao took some silver and went to the prison to establish some relations with the prison boss.

The prison boss also knew Yu Sanbao, so he took him into the cell without saying anything else, and said, "It'll only take an incense stick of time at most. If it's longer, I won't be able to explain myself."

Huai Ge'er was in a cell near the back. When Yu Sanbao passed by, his eyes were still a little dull, and he was standing against the wall.

"Brother Huai!"

Yu Sanbao lowered his voice and shouted anxiously.

Huai Ge'er seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and threw himself against the railing, his face pale and extremely excited: "Third Uncle, I, I didn't!"

Yu Sanbao reached over the railing and held Huai'er's hand: "Uncle San believes you. Tell me, what's going on?"

Huai Ge'er's face turned pale as he told Yu Sanbao everything: "... Later I felt a stinging pain on my face and woke up. I found myself holding down someone, and the yamen runners rushed over to catch me..."

Huai'er's voice was trembling.

When Yu Sanbao heard this, he immediately understood that Huai Ge'er had been drugged!

After all, Huai Ge'er was just a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old. He had been living in Nantuo Village for the past ten years. He had never encountered such dirty and despicable means!

He was full of enthusiasm and thought he had done a good thing and saved people!

As a result, they gave him a bowl of drugs and sent him to jail!

"Uncle San, Uncle San..." Huai Ge'er said in despair, "Am I too stupid?"

Yu Sanbao felt extremely upset.

Although children have to give up their innocence and grow up, the price they pay is too high!

"Don't worry, since this is the case, Uncle San will definitely rescue you." Yu Sanbao promised in a deep voice.

Yu Sanbao came out of the prison and thought for a moment, then decided to go find Old Lady Liu about this matter.

He went to the Liu family's villa, but heard that Old Master Liu had gone to their village to visit Awu.

Yu Sanbao hurriedly rode back to Nantuo Village.

Mrs. Wei had been coughing for the past few days, but Yu Sanbao didn't dare tell her about it, for fear of making her illness worse.

He went to find Old Man Liu, who was discussing vegetable growing techniques with Old Man Yu in the yard: "Old man, I want your help with something."

Old Man Yu was a little hesitant: "Old Third, what's the matter? Do you really have to trouble Old Man Liu?"

Yu Sanbao laughed and said, "Dad, let's keep this a secret for now. I'll discuss it with my grandfather first."

Old Lady Liu was also curious.

He has been married to the Yu family for so long, but the Yu family has never used his identity to do anything.

This is the first time I've asked him for help.

Old Lady Liu and Yu Sanbao went to a secluded and deserted place.

After Yu Sanbao told Old Lady Liu this, Old Lady Liu understood what was going on and frowned, saying, "Brother Huai has been set up... Don't worry about it. I'll have someone send a notice to the county magistrate, which will at least make him investigate the case more carefully and not torture Brother Huai for now."

Yu Sanbao was very grateful: "Grandpa, please help me...Also, can you not tell my parents about this for now? My mother is still coughing, and I'm afraid that if she gets anxious, she will get even sicker."

Old Lady Liu always liked filial piety. He nodded and agreed with Yu Sanbao: "Of course."

Yu Sanbao bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, old man."

Old Lady Liu made a "tsk" sound and waved her hand: "Hurry up. Now our Yu and Liu families are in-laws, but we are a real family. If you keep being so polite, don't blame me for beating you out with my cane!"

Yu Sanbao naturally knew that Old Lady Liu said this on purpose, and he smiled at her with gratitude.

Yu Sanbao's face, which had been tense for half a day, finally relaxed a little.

Old Lady Liu's post was useful. The county magistrate had originally scheduled the trial for the next day, but he postponed it for three days, saying there was "insufficient evidence."

During these three days, Captain Xie Er actually found out some things.

It turned out that there was a vagrant thief who passed by Mapo County. He saw Yiwen was beautiful and lived alone, so he had evil intentions and put drugs in the tea in Yiwen's room.

But he never expected that Huai Ge'er would drink it, and then something strange would happen...

But no matter what, it is a fact that Huai Ge'er bullied Yiwen.

When Yu Sanbao heard the result, he was stunned.

This, isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Old Lady Liu sat in the hall with a frown on her face. "The county magistrate sent someone to tell us to think about it carefully. Since this is a misunderstanding and Huai has no intention of committing a crime, why not let him marry the girl named Yiwen and take responsibility for it? Then the county magistrate can help persuade Yiwen to withdraw her lawsuit."

Yu Sanbao frowned when he heard this, how could getting married be so casual?

But after frowning, Yu Sanbao still thought about this possibility seriously.

Now that things have come to this, it would be inappropriate to keep it a secret from my family.

Something happened to Huai'er in the past three days, and there are two things that cannot be concealed.

The first is Bo Ge'er and his people.

Yu Sanbao agreed with Bai Ge'er and the others to help cover up the matter for a few days. After all, it was normal for Huai Ge'er not to return to Nantuo Village for two or three days. However, his three younger brothers who lived and ate with him in the small courtyard in the county town could tell something was wrong the first day that he had not returned.

The second is the old Taoist priest.

The truth of the matter had not yet been ascertained, so Yu Sanbao went to the old Taoist priest to ask for leave for Huai Ge'er, saying that he had something going on at home and would be on hold for a few days.

The old Taoist priest was quite reasonable and didn't say anything. He just told Yu Sanbao to remind Huai'er that even though he didn't have to come to the mountain, he still had to practice on his own for half an hour every day and not slack off.
