Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before Gu Yundong could react, Madam Yang took a few steps forward in surprise. “Qingyuan, why are you here?”
Shao Qingyuan got out of the carriage. He looked a little haggard and travel-worn. His dark circles were very thick.
Gu Yundong almost thought that she had seen wrongly. She blinked hard. After a long ti, she asked, “When did you co?”
“I entered the city early this morning,” Shao Qingyuan said. Although he looked tired, the light in his eyes seed to burn. “Get into the carriage first. Aren’t we going to the Gu family’s village? We can still rush to the county city if we leave now.”
Gu Yundong got into the carriage in a daze while Shao Qingyuan drove him away.
After walking for a while, Gu Yundong suddenly stuck her head out and said, “Let’s not go to the Gu village first. We’ll go tomorrow. Let’s go back to the inn.”
Shao Qingyuan imdiately turned the carriage around and drove towards Fulong Inn.
Gu Yundong patted her head and asked, “Why did you co to Yongning Prefecture?”
“After I received your letter, I heard that Yongning Prefecture wasn’t peaceful, so I rushed over. Don’t worry, everything has been arranged at ho. Nothing will go wrong.”
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at his thin back, her mood improved.
“What about your horse?”
“It’s in the caravan.”
Gu Yundong nodded. “When did you arrive? Have you eaten breakfast? How many days have you not slept? Were those people arranged by you just now? How did you know I was here?”
Shao Qingyuan was still in a daze. She seed to be… very concerned about him? Or was he thinking too much?
Previously, he was clearly determined, but now, he was actually a little nervous.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Shao Qingyuan suddenly ca back to his senses. His grip on the reins tightened slightly, and his voice subconsciously deepened. “I entered as soon as the city gate opened this morning. When I passed by the Renxin dical Hall, the fire over there was put out. I originally planned to leave directly, but I heard soone in the crowd call out the words ‘Gu Dajiang’s daughter’, so I listened.”
Hence, I heard that Yu Youwei planned to pin the bla on Gu Yundong.
Coincidentally, he saw that the beggars were planning to leave secretly. His first reaction was that these people had done it. He raised his hand and arrested them.
Shao Qingyuan had the ans to interrogate them. These beggars were also instructed by Gu Yundong not to tell anyone. Hence, in order to clear the air, the beggar confessed the real murderer—the Gao brothers.
Yes, they had indeed seen the Gao brothers set the place on fire.
They had seen it when they went to check on the situation. Although they had participated in extinguishing the fire, they did not intend to stand up and identify the Gao brothers.
Firstly, they had never thought of ddling in other people’s business. Moreover, that Renxin dical Hall was not a good thing to begin with. If it was burned, so be it. In any case, it did not burn to anyone else’s house.
Secondly, what if others asked why they went to Renxin dical Hall if they identified them? Wouldn’t that expose their original purpose?
Shao Qingyuan got the two of them to look for the Gao brothers. The Gao brothers had never thought of letting others take the bla, let alone a little girl. It was a pity that they did not burn Yu and Geng to death.
It was Shao Qingyuan who had asked them to go to the court, but they only said that their mother had been killed by Yu Youwei.
Later on, he was the one who asked the beggars to testify that the fire was set by Yu Youwei.
Of course, this was very related to the prefecture magistrate. When Shao Qingyuan left Yongfu Village, he specially went to Qin Wenzheng to ask about the officers who had taken office here.
The prefecture magistrate was a little strange. As long as he was given a breakthrough, he wouldn’t care if he had evidence. He would capture him first.
As for evidence, he could take his ti to find it, as long as the victim ca to
sue..
