Chapter 400: To Give a Reward
Hu Li was stunned for a mont. He sized up Aunt Yao for a mont. “Why are you so ungrateful? Why are you cursing
for no reason?”
Aunt Yao’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly smiled apologetically and said, “Mr. Official, 1 didn’t an it that way. Yuan Shanchuan had an accident a while ago, so I was worried. I didn’t an to curse him.”
Even though she said that Aunt Yao did not dare to ask further.
Fortunately, village chief Chen quickly ca over in the rain and asked first,
“Sir, why are you looking for Shanchuan?”
Hu Li had t village chief Chen before, so he treated him quite well. “Yuan Shanchuan contributed. Because of the clues he provided, we successfully caught the murderer who killed the three mbers of the Zhao family. lord said that Yuan Shanchuan was brave resourceful and worthy of praise. So, we ca to look for him.”
The murderer was caught two days before Yuan Shanchuan ca back. However, he had been investigating the follow-up matters, so he did not have ti to announce it to the public.
It was also because of this that Xiang Weinan asked Yuan Shanchuan to use this excuse to announce his whereabouts during his disappearance.
Now that the Zhao family’s murder case could be closed, there was no need to hide the news that the murderer had been caught.
However, Hu Li’ s words stunned the villagers of Daxu Village.
What?
The official ca to find Yuan Shanchuan not because he had done sothing wrong, but because he had made a contribution and wanted to be rewarded by the county magistrate.
This is great news.
Village chief Chen was also happy. He hurriedly said, “l knew Shanchuan was a good man. He has always done things with propriety. However, Shanchuan went to his brother-in-law’s place yesterday. How about this, I’ll ask soone to go to Shangshi Village and tell Yuan Shanchuan to co back. Officer, you guys go to my place first and have a cup of tea to cool down. Look at the heavy rain, you guys still ca all the way here. You’re too dutiful.”
The bailiff had personally co to reward him. Even if Yuan Shanchuan was sick, he had to co back.
He couldn’t possibly have to send the bailiff to Shangshi Village, right? Especially on rainy days, if the bailiff was unhappy, the rewards that he originally had might be gone.
However, Hu Li waved his hand. “There’s no need. Let’s go straight to Shanghai Village.”
They knew about Yuan Shanchuan’s illness. They might be colleagues in the future. There was no need to fuss over such a small matter.
Village chief Chen did not want Yuan Shanchuan to drag his sick body back and forth. Seeing that the officer had said so, he imdiately smiled and said, “That… that’s fine. Shangshi Village is not far from Daxu Village. 1 will lead the way for the two officers.”
Hu Li nodded and shook off the water droplets on his straw raincoat.
Fortunately, the rain was much lighter now.
He turned around and was about to follow village chief Chen. The Yuan family mbers who had been in a daze for a long ti after hearing the whole story finally ca back to their senses.
Yuan Shanchuan didn’t cause any trouble, and he even received a comndation from the office. How could this be done?
The Yuan Family mbers stepped forward subconsciously. Boss Yuan asked anxiously, “Lord, what reward will Yuan Shanchuan get?” Did he have a lot of silver? Was he going to be rich?
The two elders of the Yuan family also looked at him eagerly.
Hu Li frovvned. Before he could say anything, village chief Chen took a few steps forward and pointed at Boss Yuan’s nose. “What are you doing? What are you doing? What does Shanchuan’s reward have to do with you? Don’t forget that you guys broke off all ties yesterday. I still have a copy of the termination agreent.. What’s wrong? You’ve only slept for a while and you’ve forgotten everything, right?”
