A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 107 Shooting yourself in the foot

When Landlord Liu saw this situation, he guessed that Liu Yuyao might have met the wrong person and was implicated.

He came directly in front of County Magistrate Yao, bowed to him, and then said in a flattering tone: "Sir, the one inside is my daughter. I wonder if I can take her back first."

County Magistrate Yao glanced at Liu Yuyao, who was evasive, and said, "No, she needs to go to the government office with us now. Once the matter is investigated, if it has nothing to do with her, she can leave!"

Mrs. Liu was anxious when she heard this. Liu Yuyao was her beloved daughter. How could she go to a place like the government office? Wouldn't it ruin her reputation?

Thinking of this, she quickly knelt down, kowtowed to County Magistrate Yao, and begged, "Sir, our Yuyao has always been well-behaved and sensible, and would never do anything illegal. There must be some misunderstanding here. Please don't take her to the government office."

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers who had just rushed into the room sneered and showed mocking expressions.

"Humph!"

County Magistrate Yao snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Are you saying that I arrested people indiscriminately?"

When Landlord Liu saw County Magistrate Yao's attitude, he knew that it was impossible to take Liu Yuyao away easily today.

Without waiting for Madam Liu to speak, he quickly smiled and said, "Sir, please calm down. Since you need to investigate, we will cooperate. However, we beg you to allow us to accompany our daughter to the government office."

County Magistrate Yao thought about it and decided that since she was their daughter, there was nothing wrong with going to the yamen together.

If Liu Yuyao was really related to this matter, letting them see it clearly in person would help them give up and avoid bothering him again later. So he nodded and agreed.

County Magistrate Yao left a group of people to continue searching for Lord Chen on the street, while the others followed him back to the yamen.

After returning to the yamen, County Magistrate Yao did not dare to delay and began to interrogate Qiao Peiwen overnight.

It was not until the court session that Qiao Peiwen learned that the imperial envoy that County Magistrate Yao had mentioned was actually the pretty boy he had thrown into Hongxiangyuan!

Qiao Peiwen was also shocked when he heard the news.

However, although he is arrogant, overbearing, and ruthless, he is not stupid.

He knew that he had gotten into a big trouble this time. Even with the support of his uncle in the capital, things would still be a bit tricky.

Qiao Peiwen rolled his eyes, pointed at Liu Yuyao who was kneeling beside him, and said, "It was her. It was Liu Yuyao who instigated me to arrest Xiaobai... the imperial envoy and that woman and send them to Hongxiangyuan."

Liu Yuyao's neck shrank. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Thinking about Qiao Peiwen's beastly behavior in Lan Yaju, Liu Yuyao hated Qiao Peiwen to the core.

At this moment, Qiao Peiwen wanted to put all the blame on her! Liu Yuyao would naturally not admit it and take the blame for Qiao Peiwen.

She shook her head and said, "No, sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about it."

County Magistrate Yao looked at Qiao Peiwen again, and he obviously didn't believe what he said. He knew who Qiao Peiwen was, so how could he listen to a woman's orders!

Qiao Peiwen stared at Liu Yuyao with sharp eyes and said angrily: "Bitch, you killed me, and you still dare to say it's not because of you?"

Then he looked at County Magistrate Yao and said, "Sir, it was Liu Yuyao who came to Qiao's house to find me this afternoon and instigated me to go to the Pleasant Goat Hotpot Restaurant to arrest someone.

The servants in the Qiao residence can all testify to this, and you will know the truth once you ask.

Later, a woman appeared and let the man we had captured run away. My men started fighting with the woman, and the imperial envoy happened to pass by and stepped forward to stop us, so the two sides started fighting again.

It was Liu Yuyao who gave me advice again, asking me to capture that woman and the imperial envoy and send them to Hongxiangyuan.

My Lord, I mistakenly arrested the Imperial Envoy. I know I was wrong, but all of this was caused by Liu Yuyao's instigation. I hope you will be lenient with me."

When Liu Yuyao heard this, her face turned pale and she immediately showed a guilty conscience. Because this matter was indeed true and could not withstand investigation.

County Magistrate Yao had tried countless cases, and when he saw this situation, he knew that what Qiao Peiwen said was most likely true.

But how is this matter related to Pleasant Goat Hotpot Restaurant?

Landlord Liu and Liu Shuyao were also surprised when they heard what Qiao Peiwen said. Liu Yuyao took Qiao Peiwen to the Pleasant Goat Hotpot Restaurant to arrest someone? Who was he arresting? Why did he encourage Qiao Peiwen to arrest someone?

However, this is a court, and no matter how much doubt they have in their hearts, they dare not ask questions in person.

In fact, regardless of whether someone instigated it or not, it was Qiao Peiwen who did it, so the blame naturally lies with Qiao Peiwen.

However, County Magistrate Yao still had his own selfish motives. He wanted to give an explanation to Chen Shijun's people, but he didn't want to offend the Qiao family, so he wanted to find a scapegoat.

If Liu Yuyao could take part of the blame, then Qiao Peiwen's punishment would naturally be lighter.

So he asked, "Liu Yuyao, is what Qiao Peiwen said true?"

Liu Yuyao's eyes dodged, and she lowered her head and said, "Sir, I did look for Qiao Peiwen today. However, I did it unintentionally, and I didn't know that person was the imperial envoy!"

County Magistrate Yao looked at Qiao Peiwen again and asked, "Qiao Peiwen, you just said that Liu Yuyao instigated you to go to the Pleasant Goat Hotpot Restaurant to arrest someone. Who did she arrest? And why did she ask you to arrest someone?"

Qiao Peiwen said: "My Lord, a few months ago, a maidservant named Wang Ke'er escaped from the Qiao Mansion. I have always wanted to catch her, but I couldn't find her.

Today, Liu Yuyao came to the Qiao residence and told me that Wang Keer is now working at the Pleasant Goat Hotpot Restaurant, and said that she would take me to bring Wang Keer back. "

Hearing this, Liu Shuyao staggered back a step as if struck by lightning.

No wonder Liu Yuyao had been asking her to go to the hot pot restaurant recently, and every time she went there she would ask Shen Xiuxiu about Wang K'er's news.

So that's it! Liu Yuyao is really her good sister!

Liu Shuyao only felt a wave of sadness in her heart. Ever since she and Shen Qingfeng got engaged, many people said that Shen Qingfeng was lucky enough to marry someone above his station.

But at this moment she felt that she was not worthy of Shen Qingfeng!

Shen Qingfeng had never gotten anything from her. On the contrary, Shen Qingfeng spent ten times more on the betrothal gift than other families. Now, he was implicated by her!

Liu Yuyao smiled bitterly and closed her eyes, secretly swearing in her heart that from now on, Liu Yuyao would no longer be her sister.

Landlord Liu also frowned. He really didn't understand what his eldest daughter was thinking.

Even if she hated the Shen family, she was not asked to marry Shen Qingfeng. Was it necessary to harm others so deliberately? In the end, she shot herself in the foot!

Only Mrs. Liu didn't care whether Liu Yuyao was right or wrong. She only cared whether Liu Yuyao was okay.
