After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"The young lady has suffered!" Yu Bo was also so moved that tears streamed down his face. On the way here, he had heard Sanyuan talk about the young lady's situation, and he was heartbroken beyond words.

The young lady is such a delicate person, how could she suffer such a disaster? Fortunately, she has met Mr. He, who is willing to redeem her.

"Ahem!" Seeing that the two had been talking for half an hour and had not finished yet, Gao Zhili couldn't help but interrupt them.

There was no way. There had been no progress on his side for several days, and he didn't know what was going on over there with Su Qin. There had been no news at all for several days.

"I'm sorry, the situation is really serious and I have to hurry." Seeing two pairs of tearful eyes looking at him, Gao Zhili repeated the story again.

"So Mr. He came here because of the matter of the Maritime Customs."

After hearing what Gao Zhili said, the old butler hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and his expression gradually became solemn. He bowed to Gao Zhili and then continued:

"The master does know something about the Maritime Customs Commissioner. This story started ten years ago." The old butler told what he knew.

It turned out that Yu Changshi was the director of the Maritime Customs at the beginning of his service. Later, he saw that those people were going too far.

He had a bad feeling and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he looked for an opportunity to transfer out.

However, because Yu Fu had already been in the Maritime Customs Office for two years, those people were afraid that he might have some evidence.

So last year they found a reason to put Yu Fu in jail, dismissed him from his post, and drove him away far away, only then did they feel relieved.

"Does Dad really have any evidence?" He Pin asked directly after listening.

"Where is the evidence? If there was any, those people would have dealt with it long ago." Those people dug deep into the ground, but when they found nothing, they let them go.

"What should we do then?" He Pin looked at Gao Zhili with an apologetic look on his face. Now the 2000 taels of silver would really be wasted.

"What was the name of the maid who escaped?" Gao Zhili mentioned the old housekeeper's previous words, about the maid who escaped a month before the Yu family was investigated.

"Oh, her name is Xiaochun." The old housekeeper recalled and described Xiaochun's situation in detail:

"I had suggested that we bring her back before, but the master stopped me. At the time, the master said that she was pitiful, being a slave at such a young age. Later, he asked me to go to the government office to cancel her slave contract."

"Where is Xiaochun from?"

"He is from Majiazhuang, Lin County. His full name is Ma Xiaochun."

"A maid who has signed a death contract has no reason to run away. She should know the consequences of running away." If a maid who has signed a death contract runs away, her master can report her to the authorities for arrest, but she will be whipped if caught.

"And he escaped a month before his master's house was investigated. I have to suspect that there is some unknown secret hidden in this." Gao Zhili expressed his guess.

"Yes, Xiaochun was introduced by the master's personal guard. She seems to be the guard's sister. After the incident, the guard also disappeared. But he had been released by the master a long time ago, so no one cares about him."

"Sanyuan, go to Majia Village and bring the people over!" After hearing what the old housekeeper said, Gao Zhili immediately asked Sanyuan to take people to Majia Village.

While waiting for someone, Gao Zhili asked about the guard in detail.

It turned out that the guard had been following Yu Fu since he took office. He was considered one of Yu Fu's confidants and often helped Yu Fu do secret things on weekdays.

However, the old butler didn't know what the specific things were.

He was originally sent by Madam Yu's family. He was usually busy with a lot of trivial matters and had no time to care about what they were doing.
