Chapter 518: Answering Questions
Along the way, Lu Weichuan also told the two sisters and brothers about the situation in the county in the past two days. Chu Xintian knew that the bandits had sent a kidnapping letter to Lu Weichuan and extorted 10,000 taels of silver from him.
He was not allowed to report to the government. Of course, Lu Weichuan didn't dare to report the case to the Yamen, so he had to go to Shuangxi Village to ask Zhao Jiajun for help.
Lu Weichuan also wanted to go with Zhao Jiajun to find Chu Xintian's traces, but under Zhao Jiajun's arrangement, he could only wait for the news of the kidnappers in Lujia County.
Now, Chu Xintian finally came back safe and sound, and Lu Weichuan was thankful. Zhao Jiajun was even more grateful.
They talked as they came to the flower hall.
Lu Yuan, Chen, Lu Xin, and Zhao Hui all sat on chairs.
There are also Lu Wei Mountain and Lu Wei Shui.
They were supposed to go back to the capital, but they were delayed by Chu Xintian's kidnapping.
Seeing Lu Weichuan pulling Chu Xintian into the door, followed by Chu Yuan and Bai Yongjing, two little boys.
The Lu family, who were sitting, all stood up.
Lu Weishui took the lead and ran over, took Chu Xintian's hand, and looked her up and down: "Sister Chu, you are okay, we have been worried to death for the past two days."
Chen also walked up.
Although Lu Yuan didn't speak, the expression on his face was worried.
Her future in-laws and aunt's concern for Chu Xintian made her feel warm.
She hurriedly gave everyone a gift: "In the past two days, everyone has bothered."
Zhao Hui has always been a man with eyesight. He also said, "It's okay if people are fine." It's the best!"
Lu Xin was the only one who put on a contemptuous expression beside him.
Chu Xintian knew what kind of person she was, so she didn't bother to talk to her.
She chatted with the Lu family for a while, then sat down and chatted.
Naturally, what they wanted to ask was, what happened after Chu Xintian was kidnapped?
Chu Xintian also told the truth about his kidnapping. She also understood what the elders of the Lu family meant when they asked her these words.
Caring for her is for sure. The second reason is that after knowing that Chu Xintian was robbed by robbers and taken to the bandits' den, nothing bad happened to her.
The Lu family is a big family with a head and a face. In the future, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family has been robbed by mountain bandits. If something ugly happens, it will be the loss of face for the Lu family.
Fortunately, Chu Xintian was rescued in time and nothing happened.
After listening to Chu Xintian's words, everyone was relieved.
As for Chu Xintian's rescue, Chu Yuan said it to the Lu family once concisely.
Of course, Chu Xintian was pushed off the cliff by Chu Mingyu.
No one thought that Chu Xintian's half-brother was behind the kidnapping.
It is said that Chu Mingyu also wanted to kill Chu Xintian. I couldn't help but slap the table angrily.
"Chu Mingyu is really inferior to a beast. That's how he treats his siblings!"
After a while, Chu Xintian stood up, intending to go to see Old Lady Lu.
Although Mrs. Lu was very healthy, she was old after all, so she didn't know about Chu Xintian's accident.
However, Mrs. Lu is most proud of her future granddaughter-in-law, Chu Xintian. Therefore, if she can't see Chu Xintian in a few days, she will continue to talk about her. If she can't see her for a long time, she will also be suspicious. So Chu Xintian naturally wanted to go and take a look and let her rest.
Chu Xintian talked to Mrs. Lu again, had a simple meal at Lu's house, changed clothes, and went to the county office with Qu Yuan and Lu Weichuan.
Zhang Qingming, the county magistrate, got up on time in the morning and drank a bowl of goat's milk and fried spring rolls. He thought he was going to have a safe, quiet day, and he was in a good mood.
The county seat is not large, and the law and order are also very good. With the exception of a few sneaky minor cases, there are usually no major criminal cases.
Zhang Qingming has been the county magistrate for two years. His life can be said to be comfortable, and his figure has become richer.
