Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan took a big step forward, holding long swords and blocking in front of Luo Lan. Seeing the fierce eyes of these two people, Li Caizhu was a little scared, so he mumbled:
"You don't want to leave, right? I'm telling you, I've reported it to the police, and they'll be here soon. I advise you to leave immediately if you know what's best for you."
Before he finished speaking, a voice came over.
"Who is it? Who dares to cause trouble at Mr. Li's house?"
Hearing this, Mr. Li, as if he had seen a savior, went over with a smile.
"Sir Zhou, it would be enough to send two officials. How dare you trouble me?"
Luo Lan turned around with a cold face, and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform and with two wisps of mustache, walking towards them with a group of officials in a haughty manner.
He came to Luo Lan, looked him up and down, then snorted in disdain.
"Miss, you look young, but if you want to cause trouble, you need to find a place. Who dares to mess with Master Li in our area? If I tell you who's behind him, you'll be scared to death."
backing?
This made Luo Lan interested. She gestured to Xiao Lingzi and the other man standing in front of her to move aside. Then she walked slowly to Lord Zhou and raised her eyebrows to ask,
"Backing the mountain? Which mountain? East Mountain or West Mountain?"
"this……"
Mr. Zhou stroked his mustache, put away the fake smile on his face, and said with a disdainful curl of his lips:
"Hmph! Don't play dumb with me. The person who backs you is a big shot. I'll scare you to death if I tell you."
When Luo Lan heard this, he pretended to be afraid and shook his shoulders.
"Master Zhou, right? You're saying that. I'm really a little scared. This place is so close to the capital. Any important figure who shows up here would scare me to death. But I didn't come here today to find out who Mr. Li's backers are. It has nothing to do with me. I just want to find Shui Chunhua's whereabouts."
Having said this, she looked at Mr. Zhou with a sharp gaze, and Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation:
"Okay, you're such an ignorant little girl. If I don't tell you this, you won't understand. Now hurry up and take your people and leave here, or don't blame me for being rude."
Looking at this Lord Zhou with an official aura on his face, Luo Lan immediately snorted coldly:
"Since you are the local official, and our people are lost here, you should help us find them instead of just talking about Mr. Li's backers. Are you trying to scare us off? This is not what you should do as an official."
"presumptuous."
An officer beside Lord Zhou pointed at Luo Lan and shouted sternly:
"What kind of little girl would speak to Master Zhou like this?"
Seeing the official being so rude, Xiao Lingzi, who was standing beside Luo Lan, raised the scabbard of his long sword and knocked the official's fingers off, shouting coldly:
"Put your claws back! If you dare point again, I'll chop off your fingers, believe it or not?"
Hearing this, the officer stiffened his neck and shouted loudly,
"How dare you yell and shout in front of Master Zhou? Come on! Take this guy down!"
"Let's see who dares."
Luo Lan suddenly changed his kind expression and roared angrily:
"You guys are really taking a feather as your own weapon. A small official from a small government office actually dared to arrest people without any reason. This is all thanks to you, Mr. Zhou."
Seeing the sting in Luo Lan's words, Lord Zhou sneered without fear:
"You're right. In our Minghua County, I'm the king. I say whoever I want to arrest, and I'll arrest him. If you don't accept it, you can sue wherever you want."
Seeing that Mr. Zhou spoke in such a loud tone, Luo Lan's brows were immediately twisted into a ball. She looked at Mr. Zhou and said in a cold voice, word by word:
"You're not going to help us find someone, are you?"
"Yes, and you must apologize to Mr. Li immediately and leave here. Never harass him again."
"What if Shui Chunhua is lost?"
Hearing this, Lord Zhou suddenly looked at Rich Man Li, and they both burst into laughter.
After laughing, Mr. Zhou narrowed his eyes again with disdain and said:
"Your family is embarrassed, but you can't blame Master Li. Master Li told you that Shui Chunhua has been divorced. Master Li's family has divorced seven women, and no woman dared to come back to look for her. Besides, Master Li has a wedding tomorrow and is going to marry a new daughter-in-law. How could he keep your Shui Chunhua in the house to be an eyesore?"
Have you divorced seven women before?
Marrying a new wife tomorrow?
These two pieces of heavy news made Luo Lan stunned for a moment.
Isn't it said that Mr. Li's son is a fool? Why does he keep marrying women? And then divorces them? Why is that?
While she was thinking about this, Lord Zhou shouted again:
"Little girl, do you hear what I'm saying? Get out now, or I'll make you suffer."
Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi was about to step forward with his sword, but Luo Lan raised his hand to block him and said directly:
"let's go."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Liu asked in confusion,
"Why are you leaving now? Haven't you found Chunhua yet?"
Although Shui Youcai was also a little puzzled, seeing that Luo Lan's face looked a little ugly, he simply pulled Liu's sleeve and followed Luo Lan to the door.
At the moment of leaving, Luo Lan clearly heard the rich man Li repeatedly thanking Lord Zhou, and he must have taken a lot of silver. Luo Lan didn't want to hear the exact amount. She just wanted to know where the seven women who had been divorced by the rich man Li had gone.
Only after leaving the house of the wealthy Li did Liu angrily shake off Shui Youcai's hand, glaring at him, and yelling:
