Chapter 24: The Truth
Xia Mei was stunned for a moment before she reacted to this huge news.
Tightly clenching Wen Xi's arm, Xia Mei said in a trembling voice: "Really? You said she knew that the restaurant was framed? Where did she hear that? โ
Wen Xi held back the pain and tried to stabilize her voice: "Really, after she woke up, she was in good spirits, so I asked her why she was injured like this." โ
"She said that the man threatened her father with her, demanded that her father cooperate with the poison, and then died on the spot in our restaurant."
Her father was forced to reluctantly pretend to agree, wanting to take her to escape while the man was not looking, but the man found out and ...... Poisoned her father......"
Let's not talk about what happened later, everyone guessed it.
Xia Mei clenched a pair of pink fists, and there was a burning fire in her eyes.
But......
"Mrs. Xia, the girl you are talking about...... Who the hell is it? Where are people now? Can you testify? โ
Liu Quan was confused when he heard it, but he vaguely knew that his shopkeeper was saved. But where is this man now?
Xia Mei looked at Liu Quan, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and then suppressed the idea of rushing to Yunke to beat people.
Wen Xi rushed to say at this moment: "We picked it up on the road yesterday, she was seriously injured at that time, and Mrs. Xia took care of her all night before she was rescued!" โ
"Would she be willing to testify?!"
"This ...... Before I could ask, she fell asleep......"
Liu Quan looked at Xia Mei eagerly: "Mrs. Xia, let's go back and see that girl!" Only he can save our shopkeeper! โ
Wen Hao grabbed him: "Liu Quan, don't be in a hurry, this matter is very important, and you can't be in a hurry." โ
Liu Quan bit his lip and sat down unwillingly.
Xia Mei said: "Wen Hao is right, this matter is really urgent, then Ruan Qiren has the courage to do such a crazy thing, naturally he will not take the law lightly, and if he acts rashly, they know that girl's savings, and kill people, then we really can't save the shopkeeper!" So, we have to think long-term. โ
"For now, I still have to ask the girl about the specific situation and make a plan."
Xia Mei turned her head to Wen Xi and said, "Wen Xi, you go outside now to buy a chicken and go back, kill and make up for that girl, don't give her too greasy food, and then go to the pharmacy to grab a few pairs of medicines, so that you can take care of her." โ
"Liu Quan, you go and pack a few sets of clothes for the shopkeeper, and we'll send them to him later." Wen Hao, you come to the kitchen with me, let's make some good wine and food for the shopkeeper. โ
"Yes, ma'am!" The three of them replied in unison.
Since Xia Mei knew that things had taken a turn for the better, her whole person was full of fighting spirit, and the thoughts of revenge filled her body, and she couldn't use up all her strength.
So, there were two big full food boxes, Wen Hao and Liu Quan carried them, locked the door, and the three of them went to the yamen prison together.
When they arrived at the prison gate, the guards were not tricky, and Wen Hao let them in as soon as he spoke kindly.
Xia Mei has lived for more than 30 years in her previous life and this life, and she has only seen this prison on TV.
The cell was darkly lit, the air was damp, and there was a faint smell of decay, and occasionally a mouse could be glimpsed by......
Xia Mei didn't dare to look carefully, she really felt that the cold hairs on her back stood up. He kept his head down and walked forward behind Wen Hao.
After walking for a while, Wen Hao stopped, "Mrs. Xia, it's here." โ
Xia Mei crossed Wen Hao in one step and stood in front of Qin Zhihan's prison door, and in just a moment, Xia Mei's tears fell.
Qin Zhihan's former elegance is gone, indifferent and elegant is gone, only a face full of slag and messy hair stained with straw remains. The white satin robe has turned gray, and the whole person shows the vicissitudes of life and wolf bรจi.
Before he opened his mouth, he couldn't speak.
Liu Quan was even more crying and couldn't breathe, and even Wen Hao's eyes were red.
When Qin Zhihan heard a voice, he opened his eyes in confusion, and saw where his little cook and his two buddies were hugging and crying, as if they thought he was no longer there......
"What's wrong with you? How do you cry like this? Haven't I died yet?! โ
Liu Quan roared in a thick nasal voice: "Who said you were dead?!" I don't want you to die! I don't want you to die...... Wow...... Shopkeeper's ......"
As he spoke, he simply cried out loud.
Qin Zhihan slid a row of black lines on his forehead......
Qin Zhihan smiled helplessly: "You came in just to cry here for me?" Liu Quan, don't cry, you're a half-grown kid, and you're still crying like this, are you ashamed?! โ
"Little ...... Xia Mei, why are you crying, isn't it okay for me? Don't cry, good girl~~"
Xia Mei finally put away her tears and glared at him with red eyes.
The eyes that had just cried seemed to have been washed by water, clear and sparkling, and that glance made Qin Zhihan's little heart pause vividly.
Xia Mei has really suffered too many twists and turns recently, her nerves have been tense and have not been relaxed, and now when she saw Qin Zhihan, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, tears flowed out at once, and after venting, she felt better.
Xia Mei took out the wine and food in the food box, but because the gap between the cells was too narrow to send it in, Xia Mei had to give up and wait for it to be handed over to the cell boss and handed over to him. It was a bag of clothes, and I stuffed it directly, and there were twenty taels of silver in it, and I handed it over to him to take care of, so that he would not suffer too much.
Qin Zhihan was very moved, thinking that the woman's mind was to be more detailed, if she relied on Liu Quan's stupidity, she didn't know how much she had suffered.
Xia Mei felt guilty after all, and her arrogance had long since disappeared, she only hoped that Qin Zhihan would suffer less, and she would feel better.
Xia Mei explained the situation outside to Qin Zhihan in a low voice, and she didn't say anything about the girl, but was relieved that there was already evidence to prove the innocence of their restaurant, and I believed that he would be rescued soon.
Qin Zhihan also comforted Xia Mei softly: "Don't worry, our county magistrate is not that kind of mediocre character, I have dealt with him, he understands my character, and he will return my innocence." โ
A few people whispered some words, and soon the time to visit the prison came, and the three of them had to leave uneasily, Wen Hao handed over the two big food boxes to the cell head, said with a shy smile that one was filial to him, and the other was given to Qin Zhihan, and all the good wine in it was put in the food box for the cell head.
Seeing that this kid was so knowledgeable about current affairs, and that although the Qin family was in decline, Qin Batian's prestige could still deter them from these small characters, so he accepted it along the steps.
Xia Mei and the others relaxed a little, and went to find the evidence of the murder of Tianfu Restaurant.
