Chapter 226 I have a plan
Although Liang Yuanwang was born and raised in a farmer's village, he didn't think there was anything wrong with girls going to school. On the contrary, he thought the more girls should go to school, otherwise when they grow up they might be deceived by a few words, which would be too unfortunate.
Although Liang Huanxue is a second-life human, he knows very little about this world, so it is better for him to read more books.
Liang Yuanwang took care of the arrangements, and Liang Huanxue just continued to have fun peacefully.
Of course, she doesn't like to play, she wants to do big things.
On the second day, Chu Shi's trial began. To everyone's surprise, Chu Shi did not mention the other children who had been sold. When he was excited, he just said four words: "I just want to die."
The presiding judge was almost shocked by anger. He tried every possible means to persuade Chu Shi, but Chu Shi just wouldn't listen.
At the critical moment, a minor official whispered a few words into the presiding judge's ear.
The chief judge's expression changed several times, and he looked at the junior official in surprise: "Are you sure?"
The chief judge gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's try it out. Go to the City Lord's Mansion and tell the City Lord to take Chu Shi away and let the girl talk to him."
The official responded, took Chu Shi away first, and then went to see the city lord.
Chu Shimei had seen Liang Huanxue for the first time in a few days. He was sitting on a chair watching her, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind.
Chu Shi frowned: "Why is it you?"
Liang Huanxue waved her hand: "Your brother asked me to come."
Chu Shi said nothing.
Liang Huanxue laughed, looking malicious: "Your brother said that if you are sentenced to death, he will kill himself and follow you. He is terminally ill anyway, so it doesn't matter whether he lives or not."
Chu Shi stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"
Because of his brother, Chu Shi completely forgot that the little girl in front of him was just a girl without any killing power.
Liang Huanxue shook her head and said calmly: "Your brother said that you know his temper best. I didn't lie to you, so you know it best."
"No, absolutely not." Chu Shi reacted strongly, "I did all this for my brother, how can he die?"
"So, you have to actively cooperate and fight for your chance to survive." Liang Huanxue followed Chu Shi's words.
Upon hearing this, Chu Shi suddenly fell silent again: "Even if I cooperate, I will still die. What's more, the families those children go to are either rich or noble. If I tell them, I will offend them and hurt my brother."
Chu Shi was overwhelmed and felt uncomfortable: "In the final analysis, going forward means death, and going backward also means death. What else can I choose?"
It was dark in the interrogation room. Liang Huanxue had expected Chu Shi to be in a low mood, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
She jumped off the table, walked to Chu Shi, patted his knee, and said softly: "You are wrong, there is definitely a way to survive. As long as you cooperate, not only can you and your brother be saved, but also those innocent children can be rescued."
Chu Shi raised his head and looked at the young girl in front of him, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.
He pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "How do you know that there will be a turning point in this matter at your young age?"
"Because I believe in my father, and I also believe in justice in this world." Liang Huanxue straightened her back and said seriously, "My father and the city lord have already discussed it. As long as you are willing to cooperate, they will definitely find a way out for you, and ensure that the children who were sold can return to normal life."
Liang Yuanwang certainly didn't know about this. It was Liang Huanxue who personally went to talk to the city lord about it when he came here today.
After all, killing Chu Shibi was not the goal. The real goal was to find those children.
Chu Shi's eyes flickered, and his inner struggle turned into a long sigh: "If this is really possible, I am willing to cooperate to the end."
At the same time, there were footsteps outside the door. The official pushed the door open and informed Chu Shi of the city lord's decision. As long as he was willing to cooperate and rescue all the children safely, he would be spared the death penalty.
Chu Shi suddenly raised his head. Xiaoguan's words undoubtedly gave him hope. He clenched his fists and said firmly: "Okay, I promise you, I will explain everything I know."
Perhaps it was because Liang Huanxue was involved in this matter, Chu Shi actually trusted Liang Huanxue and apologized to her cautiously.
"It was my fault for tying you up that day. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
Liang Huanxue waved her hands and said nothing, but what she was thinking was, your brother is already working for me anyway.
Following Chu Shi's promise, the presiding judge put the trial back on the agenda.
This time, Chu Shi cooperated exceptionally well, explaining clearly everything he knew, from how to contact the buyer to how to send the child away.
Based on Chu Shi's explanation, the government was able to follow the clues and unexpectedly uncovered a large-scale sales gang.
For a time, all the powerful people in the city were worried about being implicated, but the city lord did not let anyone involved in the matter go.
Why the city lord? Because the matter got bigger and bigger, and in the end, the chief judge was no longer willing to take the risk, so the city lord was directly replaced, and thus, the city lord earned a good reputation.
The city lord thanked Liang Huanxue and gave her a lot of gifts after the incident.
In the kidnapping case, although Liang Huanxue never showed up, Liang Yuanwang could guess roughly what happened just from the fact that the city lord sent something.
He pulled the girl aside and asked sternly, "On the day of the trial of Chu Shi, you went to the government office for this matter, right?"
Liang Huanxue pretended to be innocent: "Dad, I didn't, I just wanted to go and take a look."
"Come on, you're my daughter, I don't even know your worth."
Liang Huanxue laughed and went up to Liang Yuanwang to give him a leg massage, saying flatteringly, "I didn't hide this from you on purpose. I just wanted to make you worry. You see."
She turned around in front of Liang Yuanwang and said, "Isn't it that nothing happened to me?"
The little girl acted so delicately and sweetly, and since she was his most beloved daughter, Liang Yuanwang instantly lost his temper.
Of course, even if you don't have a temper, you still have to pretend.
Liang Yuanwang said with a straight face: "I know you have had your own ideas since you were a child, and Dad won't stop you. But you have to tell Dad about everything in the future, okay?"
Liang Huanxue responded immediately: "Dad, I understand."
Liang Yuanwang asked again: "Are you still hiding something from dad?"
Liang Huanxue thought that since the jade thing hadn't started yet, it shouldn't be a secret, so she answered, "No, I promise."
Out of trust in his good girl, Liang Yuanwang did not ask any more questions, but from that day on, he restricted Liang Huanxue from going out. Want to go out? You can, either follow Liang Yuanwang or follow Shen Yuefu, otherwise forget it.
But the hermit has his own clever plan.
When Liang Weijiang was on leave, Liang Huanxue asked her brother to take her out.
As soon as she started to act coquettishly, Liang Weijiang agreed immediately without even saying anything.
Not only did she succeed, she also smiled arrogantly at Liang Yuanwang.
Liang Yuanwang raised his hand, as if to hit Liang Huanxue.
Liang Huanxue immediately hugged Liang Weijiang tightly and shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother, run quickly, Dad is going to beat me."
