The old man was so angry that he glared at his son. He understood the look in his son's eyes.

But he had been ill before, and he would come out to find people when he was ill, so his son didn't believe him now. He was too lazy to explain, rolled his eyes, turned around, and continued to ask people about it.

Luo Changsheng had no choice but to follow.

Hard work pays off. When he turned a corner and stopped someone to ask, the person said, "Are you talking about the child who lives in Ping An Inn? That child is very pretty, sweet and lovable!"

Mr. Luo said happily: "Yes, that child is good-looking and very capable!"

Seeing that his father was about to have a long chat with this man, Luo Changsheng hurriedly said: "Dad, let's go to Ping'an Inn to find someone!"

When we get to the inn, I will tell him that there is no such person, or that the person he met is not the person my father is looking for, then he will feel at ease to go back with me.

When a group of people arrived at Ping'an Inn, the innkeeper was so shocked that he was stunned for a moment and hurried out to greet them in person.

He thought it was a big business, but when he heard that he was just asking around, he felt a little unhappy. However, seeing Luo Changsheng's demeanor, he told the truth: "Indeed, there is!" After Luo Changsheng stuffed a piece of silver into his pocket, he also took out the registration book.

Luo Changsheng didn't expect that there really was such a child, a mother and daughter, a group of six people? Did they come to the county town to do business?

"What about people?"

"Well, they all went out. In the past few days, there would be one person staying in the inn, but today, I don't know why, they all left one by one, and in a hurry."

"Which direction were you going?"

"It seems to be East Street!"

Luo Changsheng took his men out to East Street to inquire.

He wanted to book a room in Ping An Guesthouse for Mr. Luo to take a bath and rest, but Mr. Luo refused and insisted on seeing his savior in person.

Luo Changsheng had no choice but to have someone support him.

But Mr. Luo pushed away the people who were trying to help him and walked briskly.

Luo Changsheng sighed. It was rare to see the old man so energetic. No matter what the child's situation was, he would make this trip.

At the entrance of the fat man’s house.

The stalemate continued. Zhao Lei and his companions had already arrived beside Zhao Susu and her daughter. Zhao Lei even took out his newly bought goose-feather knife.

The fat man's servants surrounded the six people, but the fat man was in the hands of Zhao Susu and her daughter, so they dared only surround him and not move.

Suddenly, a path opened up outside the crowd.

A group of officers came over quickly.

Upon seeing this, the leading officer immediately held down the hilt of his knife and said, "Are you holding hostages to kill them? Why don't you let them go?"

Zhao Susu let go of her hand, and the fat man rolled and crawled away, grabbing the officer's trousers and crying: "Officer, you have to make a decision for me! This woman, her father sold her to me as my wife, she is not naive, and she almost cost me my life. Look, this is the indenture!"

The officer looked at the indenture and his eyes were immediately unfriendly. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Susu bowed and saluted, her voice neither humble nor arrogant: "Officer, a group of us came here from Ningshan County to do business. We have just arrived for five days and are staying at Ping'an Inn. Today I was meeting a guest in the teahouse, and this man came over and said that my father sold me. I don't have a father at all, and I'm not from the county town, but no matter how I explained, he wouldn't listen, and forced me to get on the carriage, and then forced me to take me into the mansion. I was also forced."

His words were well-reasoned and neither too fast nor too slow, and his expression was calm and composed. The leading officer frowned.

The indenture was real, but what the woman said was also credible. If they were not from the county town, how could they have a father from the county town?

The leading officer said to the fat man: "Can you still find the man who claims to be the young lady's father?"

The fat man said hurriedly: "We can find it. It's Zhao Youcai from West Street. He runs a pancake shop."

Someone watching nearby spat, "If that man is really the young lady's father, he is such a scoundrel. He runs his own shop and it's not like he can't make ends meet, so why would he sell his daughter?"

"He already owns a shop, so he certainly wouldn't dare to do anything against the law. So it seems that young lady is really his daughter."

……

The leading officer turned around and ordered a subordinate: "Go and bring Zhao Youcai here!"

Then he said to another subordinate: "Go and get the owner of Ping An Inn."

The two left immediately.

The fat man wiped the sweat off his head, knowing that he was safe now. He glared at Zhao Susu fiercely, then put on a smile and said, "Officer, this person hasn't arrived yet. How about going into the house and sitting for a while?"

"Wait!" The officer glanced at him. Does this man have any sense? With so many people watching, he followed him into the house and sat down? Was he going to let others accuse him of taking bribes and being partial?

Such excitement is rare, and the number of people coming to watch the fun has not decreased, but has increased.

A quarter of an hour later, an official came over with a middle-aged man, about 43 or 44 years old, with flickering eyes and nodding and bowing.

Zhao Susu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Meng Yu felt it, and she gently squeezed Zhao Susu's hand.

Zhao Susu came back to her senses and stood still, but a little sweat oozed out of her palms. Looking closely, her eyes were not filled with panic or fear, but confusion and hatred.

The fat man jumped up and slapped the middle-aged man: "Zhao Youcai, you said this is your daughter. Can you make decisions about her? She almost ruined my life, and this is what you mean by making decisions about her?"

Zhao Youcai covered his face and said hurriedly: "Master Qin, Zhaodi, no, Zhao Susu is indeed my daughter, I didn't lie to you!"

He looked around and saw Zhao Susu at a glance. He immediately rushed over and cursed: "You money-loser, what did you do to make Master Qin angry? Why don't you kneel down for me!"

Zhao Susu did not kneel. She turned to look at the leading officer and said, "Sir, I don't know this man!"

This completely angered Zhao Youcai, and he yelled, "How dare you, a money-loser, deny your father? I provided you with food and clothing until you were eight years old. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, how dare you say I'm not your father?"

Someone nearby said, "Why only support until the age of eight? What did you do in the following years?"

"I haven't seen her for years. How could you recognize that this is your daughter? What if you recognized the wrong person?"

Someone else laughed: "Zhao Youcai, look at how you look, how could you give birth to such a beautiful daughter?"

"Yes, your wife isn't pretty either. No one would believe that you two could give birth to such a pretty daughter. I think you must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

……

Zhao Youcai stiffened his neck and said, "Anyway, she is my daughter. She looked like this when she was a child and she has looked like this when she grew up. She has not changed much. Wang Heizi, Zhou Mazi, look, is she Zhaodi?"

He even brought his own witnesses with him.

He pulled the man named Wang Heizi over and said, "Wang Heizi recognized her before me. You said she is not my daughter. On what basis do you base your argument?"
