On the other side, the boy walked in front of everyone and told them what he heard this morning: someone was trying to lure Li Xiaomei out!
After hearing this, Clan Leader Liu explained to Li Erlang with a serious expression, "At that time, Zhong Ge'er and I did see my younger sister being relentlessly pursued by that beggar." He then pointed to the beggar lying on the ground.
Li Erlang looked over and saw that the old beggar was already dead: "Someone must have instigated this!" After saying that, he glanced at Liu Zhong.
Liu Zhong was momentarily flustered, having not expected the little beggar to have made the mistake. Then, realizing he had never appeared before the little beggar, he calmed down.
Seeing Li Erlang's scrutinizing gaze, Liu Zhong managed to calm himself down and returned his gaze without avoiding it. But what he was thinking was, "Now that he is dead and there is no evidence, he must not show his weakness!"
When the atmosphere was solemn, the voice of his daughter came from afar.
I saw two ships rapidly approaching the dock. From a distance, I could see two yamen runners with long swords on their waists standing on the bow.
It turned out that Li Yan said goodbye to her grandparents in the town and went directly to the side door of the county government office.
She was not sure whether Zheng Hui was at home at the moment, so she knocked on the side door of the county government office with the mentality of giving it a try.
Coincidentally, the person who opened the door for Li Yan had seen this young lady being invited back by her own mistress that day. The gatekeeper recognized Li Yan at a glance and did not give her any trouble. She directly asked the maid to report to Zheng Hui.
When Zheng Hui heard the maidservant report that the maid from last time had come to the house, she thought that Li Yan had finished writing the story, so she hurriedly asked the maidservant beside her to invite her in.
Li Yan was led into the room by a maid. She looked quite disheveled because she had just run all the way here.
Seeing Zheng Hui, Li Yan pinched herself and pleaded with red eyes: "Someone is trying to frame my aunt! Please help my aunt!"
After that, he told Zheng Hui what had just happened.
The ladies in the boudoir hate people who do such dirty things behind others' backs the most.
Seeing the little girl crying so pitifully, Zheng Hui said, "Since you've come to me for help, you must be desperate! It's just that you came at an unfortunate time. My parents are out, and I don't know when they'll be back."
Just when Li Yan was disappointed and about to say goodbye and leave.
Zheng Hui asked the nanny beside her, "Father promised me that if I really wanted to go out, he would let the newly promoted Yang brothers protect me. Are they in the government office today?"
The nanny nodded hesitantly and said, "Miss, how can a girl like you interfere in such matters?"
Zheng Hui said seriously, "It's under my father's rule. Since he's not here, I can take people to investigate. Go and tell them to follow me out later!"
The nanny had no choice but to agree.
Li Yan was very grateful when she heard her say this.
She had originally wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect that she would actually need help.
Zheng Hui led her group straight out of the city and met Old Man Li at the dock, who was also heading home.
Old Master Li didn't expect that his granddaughter could actually ask the officials to come and help. He was shocked.
The group chartered two boats and hurried all the way, fortunately they caught up.
When the boat docked, a woman wearing a conical hat and two yamen runners got off the boat, attracting the attention of everyone present.
When Liu Zhong saw the two yamen runners, he couldn't help but panic, and sweat oozed from his forehead unconsciously.
He already had something to hide, and now he wished he could leave this dangerous place immediately.
