"Ahem!"
Before he could finish, Zhang Xin bent over and coughed harshly, then glanced at him, "Watch what you say!"
"It’s intriguing that with Young Master Lui’s status, no one has co to speak up for him,"
The visitor didn’t appear frightened, and simply smiled, "Now that their own people have found out the so-called victim isn’t dead, no matter what, you must solve this case quickly. Direct all offences onto that Registrar Bai. Let him bear all the charges. Throwing him under the bus is the only way to salvage this situation."
Zhang Xin bowed his head in thought for a while and sighed deeply, "Very well! Things have co to this. That’s all I can do now. Just like what Qin Yi said, I can only try to please Young Master Lui, to see if there’s a slight chance of turning things around."
The visitor was about to say sothing more, but the sound of hurried footsteps from outside made him stop.
A governnt officer rushed in to report, "Sir, Inspector Liu has brought Registrar Bai and that woman back."
Zhang Xin nodded his head and imdiately ordered, "Hold court!"
Inspector Liu brought Registrar Bai and the woman into the county governnt office, with a look of grandeur and energy, Zhang Xin imdiately held court and began questioning.
Under the rod’s persuasion, Registrar Bai confessed to the truth.
Liu Muyi was declared innocent and released.
When they heard the news, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er, who had been exhausted all day, went back to their temporary tent and slept deeply.
This stirred by soone calling, Su Pan’er got up. Not seeing Qin Yi, she quickly cleaned herself up and headed out.
She looked up to see Lui Muyi standing in the sun, smiling at her.
His gleaming white teeth shone in the sunlight, sparkling like white jade.
"Pan’er, I’m out! Thanks for your help, I finally got my freedom back! Hehehe..."
He laughed extraordinarily happily.
His good mood was infectious, and it made Su Pan’er laugh out loud.
"Pfft! It was you. Don’t just stand there, the sun outside is strong. Co in quickly."
With that, she turned back and called out to Uncle Xiao outside.
"Uncle Xiao, tell the kitchen to make so small dishes."
"Alrighty!" Uncle Xiao happily said.
"Also, check on Qin Yi. If he’s not busy, call him back too."
"Alright, ma’am."
Uncle Xiao quickly went off to do so.
"Sit, don’t just stand there."
Su Pan’er turned back and gestured for Liu Muyi to sit down.
She poured Liu Muyi a cup of water, then handed one to each of the three people who ca with him.
"Thank you, Doctor Su, thank you!"
The three of them kept thanking her.
"Pan’er, I owe a lot to your efforts this ti. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been released so quickly."
Lui Muyi sat down with a cheerful face, smiling brightly at her.
"Oh, so the case has been completely resolved? Did they tell you why it happened?"
Su Pan’er poured herself a glass of water and sat across from Liu Muyi.
Liu Muyi shrugged his shoulders, "Yes, with all the evidence gathered and his denial proved futile, he confessed to everything..."
Liu Muyi carefully explained the circumstances of the case to Su Pan’er.
Liu Muyi went to find that bogus doctor, Doctor Hu, via Registrar Bai. However, Doctor Hu and Bai turned out to be cousins, so naturally, Bai didn’t stand by idly. Coincidentally, a few days ago, he got involved with the mistress of Blacksmith Chang.
Blacksmith Chang may have been strong, but he was a "quick trigger". At first, Bai forced himself onto Lu’er, but after only two or three tis, Lu’er enjoyed the taste and started to willingly submit to him.
Unfortunately, Lui Muyi was overly cocky.
Seeing Lu’er crying and expressing resentnt toward Registrar Bai, he thought he could exploit the situation.
As a result, he was used by Registrar Bai, killing two birds with one stone!
A recently-executed female corpse was dressed up as Shi Xiaolu who had supposedly drowned. Then, a case was fabricated that Shi Xiaolu was murdered, with Lui Muyi being frad.
"You know the rest of the story."
Lui Muyi’s face was filled with remorse.
"Pfft!"
Unable to hold back her laughter, Su Pan’er said, "I never expected, young master Lui, you are so capable!"
"How could it be my fault? The woman keeps saying she hates the other party, turns out... won really have poison hearts!"
Lui Muyi cleared his throat, his face flushing red. "Pan’er, I, I wasn’t talking about you! I was talking about Lu’er. Also, didn’t we agree you would call Big Brother Lui? Why did you start calling Young Master again?"
"Alright! Big Brother Lui."
Putting her smile away, Su Pan’er asked, "Big Brother Lui, what do you plan to do now?"
"What else can I do, of course I have to return to Yongze County as soon as possible."
Lui Muyi said confidently, "I have already sent people to get that quack nad Hu. There’s a lot of business to take care of in Yongze, I need to go back and handle them as soon as possible. Everything is arranged, and if nothing unexpected happens, we’ll set off to return to Yongze in three days."
"We? Do you an, Qin Yi and I can also go back?"
Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow.
"Of course."
Lui Muyi bead, "Rest assured! You guys took this trip, and the Lui family won’t be stingy. We won’t be vague about what should be given. Just wait for the good news!"
Su Pan’er wondered what the good news could be.
When she learned what the so-called good news actually was, she couldn’t help but admire the power of the Lui family.
The case was presented to the Prefect, and the credit for solving it was awarded to Qin Yi.
Once the credit and case details were reported, feedback was quickly received from the top, and the case was sent directly to the Ministry of Personnel.
Although the final outco will not be quickly decided, Qin Yi being acknowledged and rewarded by the higher-ups was almost certain!
During her remaining stay in Changze County, Su Pan’er taught the thod of smallpox vaccination in detail.
When the number of smallpox infections began to decrease, the epidemic was under control to a large extent. They finally embarked on their journey back to Yongze County.
From leaving Yongze for Changze, to setting foot on her land again, a good two months had passed, making Su Pan’er yearn for every blade of grass and every tree in Luoyan Village.
"The scenery of Luoyan Village is better indeed!"
Watching the Luoyan Village, which was bathed in the setting sun’s glow, Su Pan’er felt an imnse sentintality.
There was a ti when she actually considered Luoyan Village as her hotown, giving rise to hosickness.
She was ho!
Indeed, there’s no place like ho.
"Yeah! I wonder if Ke’er has morized ’Three Character Classic’ by now?"
Qin Yi’s focus was obviously not on the sa wavelength as Su Pan’er.
"Right!"
How are mom and dad, relatives, and friends doing?
The two exchanged a glance, the joy in their eyes was unmistakable. They couldn’t hold back and galloped towards ho, quickly leaving the horse-drawn carts carrying goods behind.
"Hold on, what about Pig Grandpa! You two are really behaving badly, leaving Pig Grandpa and running off by yourselves. How dare you!"
The rascal pig howled several tis, but failed to arouse their sympathy. He had no choice but to grumble all the way, lying on the cart, sulking.
