Meng Yunzheng asked again, “Let’s go together?”‘
He pointed at the two tied-up men and gestured to her.
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding.
She knew that Meng Yunzheng was doing this for her sake. Shu Yu had always understood his feelings.
Soon, she followed Meng Yunzheng’s instructions and went to the streets to find the officers and soldiers searching for the fugitives and brought them over.
Then, as a witness and a hero who captured the fugitive, he followed them to the county office.
To Shu Yu’s surprise, the official currently in charge of the county government was very young. He looked to be in his twenties.
However, he looked earnest. After he knew the whole story, he came over and nodded at Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu. “Young Master Meng, Miss Lu, thank you for arresting the fugitive. As for the injured Young Master Zhao, I will find the best doctor in the city to take a look.” The two of you have done me a great favor. I wonder if you have any rewards you want?”
Meng Yunzheng looked at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu had already observed Mr. Xiang, who was temporarily the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County. He would remain here as an official until the imperial court sent a new county magistrate over.
If the imperial court sent an official and waited for the other party to arrive, it would take over three months.
Shu Yu immediately said, “Sir, I haven’t thought of it yet. Can I keep the favor for now?” She might be able to use it if she needed it.
Lord Xiang was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised by her answer.
However, he still readily agreed. “Of course.”
He turned to look at Meng Yunzheng. “What about you?
Shu Yu didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that their tone was much more casual when Mr. Xiang and Meng Yunzheng were talking. Could these two people know each other?
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were the same. He would keep it first and ask for it again when needed.
After they finished speaking, they stayed no longer in the county office. Mr. Xiang looked very busy, not to mention that the fugitive had just been captured and had not been interrogated yet.
Shu Yu came out of the county office and slowly exhaled. She told Meng Yunzheng, “I was going to look for you today and wanted to rent a small yard near your house. Now that it’s so late, I can only wait until tomorrow.”
Meng Yunzheng raised his eyebrows. He was surprised that she wanted to rent a house near his house.
Shu Yu hugged the lucky cat. “I have to go back. See you tomorrow morning.”
“Goodbye.” Meng Yunzheng opened his mouth silently.
The two of them quickly separated and headed in different directions.
Shu Yu went straight back to the shop. However, just as she reached the shop door, she saw two familiar figures standing there and was extremely anxious.
Shu Yu hurriedly walked a few steps. “Sister, Daniu.”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Daya turned around abruptly. Seeing Shu Yu was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief and ran forward. “It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine.”
Shu Yu lowered his head and looked at herself.” What can happen to me? Why are you guys here?”
As she spoke, she opened the door and let them in.
Daya eagerly said, “Yesterday, we heard something happened in the county town. The gates of the city were all sealed. They did not let anyone in or out. Fortunately, you can stay in the shop. So, we were rest a.s.sured. But today, an uncle from the village came to the county town. In the end, the city gate was still closed, and they were not allowed to enter. They walked back. We were just worried about what happened inside. We didn’t know when the city gate would open. My grandma and parents are anxious, so I came over with Daniu to take a look..”
