“What happened?” County Magistrate Xu pointed to Concubine Chu lying on the bed and asked.
“It was discovered by the servant who served Concubine Chu. When she was discovered, she was lying on the ground and vomiting blood. I don’t know the exact situation.” Mrs. Xu was also a little baffled. She could not believe it when she heard the news.
County Magistrate Xu’s gaze fell on Concubine Chu. “Did someone else give you the medicine, or did you drink it yourself?” he asked directly.
Concubine Chu struggled for a while before she spat out, “Master… Save… Help!”
“I’ll ask you a question, so you have to answer honestly. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save your life.” County Magistrate Xu’s eyes were cold and serious.
Concubine Chu had wanted to hide it, but seeing him , she knew that if she did not tell the truth, she would not be able to live. However, she still wanted to live, not die.
“Master, it… It was the Wang family who sent people to force me to help them… Lilt Six next to me… is…” Before she could finish speaking, she fainted.
County Magistrate Xu had already gotten what he wanted. His expression was very ugly. He stood up and said to Madam Xu, “Find a doctor to treat Concubine Chu. Don’t let anything happen to her. I still have use for her.”
“I still have something to do. I’ll go to the front hall first.”
County Magistrate Xu left the backyard with his advisor.
The advisor did not expect Landlord Wang to be so bold. He actually dared to use people to kidnap the Third Young Master of the Xie family in the county office.
In the past, although the wealthy merchants in the county were also competing in business and wanting to gain more property, they did not reach the point of harming people. What they could develop was all based on their abilities.
However, why did Landlord Wang cross the bottom line again and again… “Sir, what do you think Landlord Wang wants to do?” The advisor said with a worried heart.
“What else can he do? He wants to break the current situation in Nanchang
County.” County Magistrate Xu had been an official for so many years, and he already had a balance in his heart. Compared to the unscrupulous Landlord Wang, he was more willing to cooperate with the Xie family.
The Xie family had long set sights beyond the Nanchang county. Unfortunately, Landlord Wang did not notice it at all and still dared to hit a
“Then, Sir, this case…” The advisor gasped.
“Judge however you want.”
“But Landlord Wang has always been able to bear with it. Why can’t he bear it these days?” The advisor wanted to remind County Magistrate Xu that perhaps Landlord Wang had something to rely on.
County Magistrate Xu had never thought of this. “The Xie family knows this better than us,” he said.
In the living room of the county office…
Master Xie and Mrs. Xie already knew what was going on.
Mrs. Xie glared at Master Xie. “Didn’t you say before that nothing would affect my son’s exams? Now, such a big thing has happened!”
“Wife, I’ll handle it now. I promise I won’t delay Lil’ Yu.” Master Xie touched the tip of his nose, sweating profusely. At the same time, he gestured for Xie Yu to help.
Xie Yu looked at his mother helplessly. “Mother, fortunately, sister-in-law saved me today. Why don’t we settle this matter this time?”
“Yes, the Wang family has been playing tricks for a while. While Lil’ Yu is fine today, if something were to happen to him when he goes to the prefecture, we can only watch.” Master Xie made the situation sound serious.
Mrs. Xie’s delicate face was instantly filled with worry. “That won’t do. If we miss it this time, we’ll have to wait for another three years. How can arrange a marriage for him?”
“Old Xie, you have to deal with this matter.”
“Sure.” Master Xie chuckled. He could not wait do to so.
Previously, his wife wanted to use this matter to train Xie Yu. He had already said that he would find another opportunity to train in the future, but his wife said that it was a rare opportunity and refused, and she almost made a mistake.
He was not in a hurry. Children would grow up slowly. There was no need to ask for everything to be done well..
