A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Chen Shijun stepped forward, looked at Su Yan and asked, "Are you the chief clerk of Ping'an Town?"

Su Yan looked at this handsome man with extraordinary bearing, cupped his hands and said, "I am Su Yan, the chief clerk of Ping'an Town."

Yingzi finally understood why Su Yan's mother said she was not afraid of the Qiao family. It turned out that their son was an official! What a coincidence!

Chen Shijun didn't say anything else. He took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Su Yan, letting him look at it.

Su Yan took it and his expression changed after just one glance. He quickly bowed and saluted.

"Your subordinate Su Yan greets the Imperial Envoy."

Seeing Su Yan like this, Su Yan's mother and sister were shocked!

The Imperial Envoy? The young man in front of me is the Imperial Envoy?

But didn't Miss Yingzi say that she was captured by the Qiao family and escaped? How could she be with the imperial envoy? And she brought the imperial envoy to their home!

Looking at Su Yan's expression again, he doesn't look like he's joking!

Su Yan saw that his mother and sister were still in a daze, and hurriedly said, "Mother, Tongtong, this is Mr. Chen from the capital. He came to our Ping'an Town specifically to provide disaster relief."

When Su Yan's mother heard what her son said, she immediately came to her senses and saluted Chen Shijun.

"I greet you, sir."

Su Yan's sister followed suit and bowed to Chen Shijun.

Chen Shijun gave a few people a helping hand and said, "Master Su, you don't have to be polite. Aunt and Miss Su, don't be polite either. Please stand up!"

Su Yan happened to meet the imperial envoy who came to provide disaster relief in his own home, and naturally he was full of doubts.

So, next, Yingzi explained the cause and effect of the incident.

After hearing this, the mother and her two daughters from the Su family were all in disbelief.

The first day the imperial envoy arrived in Ping'an Town, he was arrested? Or was he taken to a brothel?

The Qiao family is in big trouble this time! And County Magistrate Yao is also to blame!

Su Yan traveled around the villages every day, so he didn't know what was happening in the town, nor did he know that County Magistrate Yao was looking for Chen Shijun everywhere.

He said, "If you don't mind, Master Chen, you can stay at our Su's house tonight, and we will go to the county government office together tomorrow morning."

Chen Shijun and Yingzi were already exhausted. They could only talk about it tomorrow, so they nodded in agreement.

On the other side, County Magistrate Yao brought his men to Hongxiangyuan and finally found out where Qiao Peiwen was.

Seeing so many soldiers coming in so aggressively, even if Qiao Peiwen's men were usually very arrogant, they were like quails and did not dare to act rashly at this time.

When Magistrate Yao asked him questions, he naturally did not dare to hide anything.

Therefore, County Magistrate Yao quickly found out about Qiao Peiwen's whereabouts and the matter of Qiao Peiwen's subordinate Ye You, who sent a man and a woman to Hongxiangyuan.

After the description, Chen Shijun's men were able to basically conclude that the two people sent here were their Lord Chen and the girl. But it turned out that the two had already escaped from Hongxiangyuan and their whereabouts were unknown.

County Magistrate Yao did not dare to delay any longer and immediately took his men to Lan Yaju.

Even though it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the officers and soldiers' fuss over searching for someone alarmed many civilians.

This made the already panic-stricken Ping'an Town even more panic-stricken.

Not long after Landlord Liu and his family entered the town, they encountered a scene of soldiers looking for someone.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but become more worried, wondering if something big had happened in Ping'an Town and whether it was related to Liu Yuyao's disappearance?

"Master, do you think something has happened to Yuyao?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Landlord Liu with concern and asked.

Landlord Liu also felt a little uneasy, but he still comforted Mrs. Liu and said, "It shouldn't be the case, don't think too much about it.

It's impossible for Yuyao to still be on the street at this hour. Let's look for her in the inns in the town first. Maybe she's staying in one of them."

Mrs. Liu was at a loss at this time and could only agree to Landlord Liu's proposal.

Just as they finished discussing, they saw the soldiers stopped at the gate of Lan Yaju. One team of soldiers surrounded Lan Yaju at a very fast speed, and the other team rushed into Lan Yaju.

"Master, this..."

Mrs. Liu's worry, which had just been put at ease, was weighed down again. They had just said they were going to the inn to look for someone, and the inn was immediately surrounded by soldiers.

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

Landlord Liu said, and then asked the coachman to park the carriage diagonally opposite Lan Yaju.

At this moment, in Lan Ya Ju, in the room where Qiao Peiwen and Liu Yuyao were, there were no sounds of love as imagined, but bursts of screams from a woman.

Ye You at the door was still standing there like a wooden stake, motionless, and seemed oblivious to the sounds coming from inside.

It was not until a group of soldiers rushed up that he frowned.

However, no matter how inflexible he was, he did not dare to confront the officers and soldiers.

So, when County Magistrate Yao ordered his men to break into the room, what everyone saw was an appalling scene.

Half a minute later, Qiao Peiwen and Liu Yuyao were taken out of Lan Yaju in disheveled clothes.

When Qiao Peiwen saw County Magistrate Yao, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he asked in confusion, "Master Yao, what are you doing?"

County Magistrate Yao had received benefits from the Qiao family before, so if it wasn't a big deal, he would naturally not ask about it.

However, Qiao Peiwen had made a big mistake this time, and it had implicated him.

County Magistrate Yao changed his usual intimate attitude and said mercilessly: "Qiao Peiwen, you are so bold and reckless that you detained the imperial envoy privately. What crime should you be punished for?"

"Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy?"

Qiao Peiwen was confused and frowned as he asked, "Master Yao, are you mistaken? I have never seen any imperial envoy."

"Humph!"

County Magistrate Yao did not want to say more to him. He just snorted coldly and ordered his men, "Take Qiao Peiwen back to the government office!"

"Yuyao! That's Yuyao!"

Mrs. Liu in the carriage opposite saw Liu Yuyao surrounded by officers and soldiers and screamed in surprise.

As she said this, she was about to get off the carriage and rush over. Landlord Liu did not stop her because he was also shocked and he also wanted to know what was going on.

So Landlord Liu followed Madam Liu and ran over, with Liu Shuyao following closely behind.

"Yuyao! Yuyao, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

When Mrs. Liu ran over, she saw Liu Yuyao with messy hair, head down and silent.

"What are you doing? The government is investigating a case. Please stay away!"

The officer saw three people rushing over, stopped them and shouted at them.

Liu Yuyao looked up suddenly and saw her parents, tears instantly flowed out.

But when she saw Liu Shuyao behind her parents, her eyes were instantly filled with hatred.

Why? Why did she become like this now, while Liu Shuyao was standing by her parents' side?

Madam Liu shouted, “Let me through, that’s my daughter!”

The officer looked at Mrs. Liu, then at Liu Yuyao, and when he thought of what he had just seen in the room, a look of contempt appeared on his face.
