After hearing this, the woman agreed without saying a word.
"Okay, okay, I'll go and help you call."
The door was not locked, so Lin Jiuyue guessed that Lai Fu Lai Cai should be at home. She went forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door creaked open.
"Miss? Miss, are you back?"
The moment Lai Fu saw Lin Jiuyue, his expression changed from surprise at first to delight.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Well, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
When Lai Fu heard Lin Jiuyue's words, there was a hint of sob in his tone.
"Miss, it's not hard, it's not hard. It's all what servants should do. It's just that Xiyue and Uncle Li have been arrested and thrown into jail."
After Lai Fu finished speaking, he reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Lin Jiuyue looked back.
From time to time, there are villagers passing by the roadside at the door.
They said they were villagers passing by, but in fact they were people who heard that Lin Jiuyue had returned and deliberately passed by Lin Jiuyue's house to eavesdrop on the gossip.
"I've heard about this. Let's go inside and talk about it."
Lai Fu also saw the villagers at the door. After hearing what Lin Jiuyue said, he moved aside to make way for Lin Jiuyue to exit. After Lin Jiuyue entered the courtyard, he closed the gate behind him.
"Miss, you've been traveling all the way here, I'll go make you some tea."
After Lai Fu finished speaking, he turned around and went to make tea.
Lin Jiuyue sat at the table in the yard, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.
Not long after, Lai Fu brought up the brewed tea.
"Miss, I'm not very good at making tea, so please just drink this tea."
Lin Jiuyue is a relatively casual person. He can drink good tea and ordinary tea.
If you are really thirsty, you can drink the raw water from the well.
But since the space came into being, Lin Jiuyue has never drunk raw water from outside again.
"No problem, I'm not picky."
After hearing this, Lai Fu smiled.
"As long as the young lady doesn't mind, it will be fine once Xiyue and the others come out. The tea Xiyue brews is much better than the one I brew."
Lin Jiuyue looked into the yard.
"Are you alone at home? Where's Laicai? Why can't I see Laicai?"
"To answer Miss, Laicai has gone out to do some business. He will probably be back soon."
Xiyue's family of three was arrested, and Lin Jiuyue was not at home, so the only ones who could run errands were Lai Fu and Lai Cai.
Although the village chief would help, he also has their family. What's more, the village chief is just an ordinary person and cannot afford to offend those people.
Not long after Lin Jiuyue sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"Laifu, go open the door and see if that's the village chief coming."
When Lai Fu opened the gate, it turned out to be the village chief.
"Jiuyue, I heard you were back, so I rushed over here."
"Uncle, let's sit down and talk."
As soon as the village chief sat down, Lai Fu brought him tea, then stepped aside very tactfully.
"Uncle, you know I always get to the point. I won't beat around the bush."
"I came back this time because of something at home. The letter I brought back only gave me a general idea, and I don't quite understand the details. Could you tell me more?"
After listening to this, the village chief sighed.
"Alas, Jiuyue girl, uncle guessed that we made money from growing rapeseed and were targeted by others. Those people captured Xiyue and the others probably to target you, or to get a piece of the rapeseed profit."
The village chief and Lin Jiuyue had grown rapeseed together and had made a lot of money from selling it. Furthermore, the two families visited each other frequently and had a good relationship. The village chief was genuinely worried about Lin Jiuyue.
"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now. Tell me, how did Xiyue and the others get arrested? They must have a reason for arresting people, right?"
After hearing this, the village chief frowned.
"This, this uncle is not very clear either."
"All I know is that on the day Xiyue and the others were captured, they delivered the rapeseed sprouts they had picked the day before to several restaurants as usual, and then sold the excess in the town for a while."
"Just as they were finishing their sale and packing up, two big men suddenly showed up. They said they had eaten the rapeseed sprouts Xiyue and the others were selling, and that they had killed someone."
"After a while of commotion, people from the government office came and took Xiyue and the others away. But I wasn't there at the time, so I don't know the details clearly."
While listening to the village chief's words, Lin Jiuyue tapped the table lightly with her fingers.
"Uncle, when you heard the news, Xiyue and the others had already been taken away?"
The village chief nodded.
"Isn't it? When I rushed over, I only saw the backpack that had been trampled to pieces. I didn't even see Xiyue and the others."
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue frowned unconsciously.
"What happened next? Did you see Xiyue and the others?"
The village chief shook his head.
"No, my uncle heard about it and went to the government office immediately. But the people there said that someone had died from eating the rapeseed sprouts Xiyue and the others were selling. It was a serious murder case, so they refused to let me see him."
"Jiuyue girl, it's because I'm incompetent that I can't even help you with this little bit. That's why I asked you to make this special trip."
Lin Jiuyue didn't care much about the fact that the village chief couldn't help.
After all, the village chief is just an ordinary person.
Xiyue and the others were captured, obviously because they were being targeted. Moreover, he had received information that the people who captured Xiyue were related to the Li family.
Although the eldest young master of the Li family was Xiyue's former master, Lin Jiuyue had met the eldest young master of the Li family before.
Although the eldest young master of the Li family was a bit cowardly in the matter of Xiyue being sold, he would not use such a thing to control Xiyue and her family.
"Uncle, something like this happened. Even if you wanted to help, you couldn't."
The other party is from the Li family, and they don’t even take a small figure like the village chief seriously.
Not to mention the village chief, even the county magistrate had to give the Li family some face. Otherwise, why would they dare to arrest Xiyue's family? But Lai Fu and Lai Cai were fine.
After hearing this, the village chief still felt a little guilty.
"September girl, when you left, you told me to take good care of you. It's just that I'm incompetent and can't help you at all, alas."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Uncle, it's okay. Now that I'm back, I will definitely find a way to get Xiyue and the others out. Don't worry."
The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"September girl, do you really have a way to get them out?"
You know, as the village chief, I'm in and out of the government office all year round. Although I'm not very close to the people there, I'm familiar with them. I wanted to go to the prison to see Xiyue and the others and ask them what happened, but I couldn't see them. This girl actually said she had a way to get them out?
