Chapter 1004: Witnesses
What did you say?! ”
The prefect's eyes widened, but his mung bean eyes, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't open them much.
However, the guard had never seen such an expression on the gentle prefect's face, and this alone was enough to surprise and overwhelm him.
After all, the prefect would never show such a somewhat terrifying look.
The prefect couldn't believe his ears, how could it be? He does things so secretly, how can anyone know that he did it? It's simply not possible!
But what the guards in front of him said, he couldn't deceive himself.
The prefect took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and only after a while did he ask, "What did you say outside?" ”
The guard watched the prefect regain his usual expression, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then told the rumors he had heard.
Including how the prefect found someone, what means were used behind his back, what Miss Li experienced when she was taken away, and what the ending was, all of them were said.
The more the prefect listened, the more frightened he became, if nothing else, what the guards said was almost the same as what he had done before! And there are even some details in it that even he doesn't know!
The guard said as he cautiously watched the prefect's slowly changing face, he originally thought that all this was just a rumor, and someone must be jealous of the prefect to arrange such a thing. In his eyes, the prefect who was polite and polite and treated their subordinates with always been gentle and polite, how could he do such a thing, this is definitely not true!
But now that he saw the prefect's expression like this, there was clearly a trace of fear in his angry expression. Such a look was something the guards had never seen before.
He began to wonder if all this was true.
If it was true, how could the prefect do such a thing behind his back? If it is fake, why can this detail be transmitted so accurately, and why does the prefect show such an expression after hearing it?
These questions add up, the guard feels a little dizzy in his head, but he doesn't dare to show anything at the moment, he is just a small guard, in front of him is a dignified prefect, no matter what, it is not his turn to be a small person to doubt this adult.
What's more, he didn't think his life was too long.
When the prefect heard this, he could barely control his facial expressions. Even he could feel that his face was getting darker and darker, and the eyes of the guards in front of him were becoming more and more cautious, and even his voice was much quieter.
The prefect knew very well that he shouldn't show such an expression at this time, but he couldn't care about it so much. If others believe it, only the prefect knows how much impact it will have on him.
"Now there's news out there? But do you know where it came from? ”
The prefect was silent for a long time, and held back such a sentence.
The guard shook his head and said, "When the servant was still on duty, he heard someone talking at the door, grabbed the common man and asked, and then he knew. ”
When the common people saw him, it was as if they had seen some evil star, and their faces were full of fear, and under their own questioning, they honestly told all of them.
The guards didn't understand why the common man had such an expression. But after the people left, he remembered that there had been an incident at this gate where the guards bet on the guests of the stone shop, and didn't they personally go to those guests to apologize because of this incident? 、
But God knows how innocent they are. Thinking of this, the guards still felt aggrieved, and now those ordinary people saw them like mice seeing cats, and they couldn't wait to disappear under their noses in an instant. They are definitely not the masters who beat people casually, but now they can't wash themselves when they fall into the Yellow River.
The prefect naturally knew very well that from the mouth of this guard, he couldn't ask anything, and he didn't have any hope.
He sighed, only to feel a terrible pain in his head, and he waved his hand at the guard.
"Well, you go down first."
The guards looked at the prefect's tired face, and suddenly felt a little ashamed that he had just been a little suspicious of the prefect's thoughts, how could the prefect be so kind to them on weekdays, how could he do such a thing?
Now that there are such rumors outside, adults must be very troubled.
At this time, how could he have such an idea?
The guard did not dare to say more, so he saluted respectfully, turned around and carefully closed the door of the study.
"Someone! Come! ”
As soon as the guards left, the prefect raised his head and shouted anxiously. His face, where is the pretense of calmness at the beginning. At this moment, he was the only one left in the study, and he no longer had to pretend that he didn't care at all.
God knows how panicked and scared he was when he heard the news.
Why does anyone know about this? Why does it shake out?
Could it be that Li Wenyuan already knew all this. And at this time, he poured all the dirty water on his daughter Li Qinghuan's head, so he couldn't hold it back and shook it out?
If so, isn't that a shot in the foot?
This thought was only fleeting, and it was quickly denied by the prefect. No, how could Li Wenyuan know that he did it, if it was really him, then the rumors at the beginning may also be because of him.
Originally, the prefect would not believe that all this would be done by Li Wenyuan, in his eyes, with Li Wenyuan, even if he is indeed the richest man in this city, but in terms of power, he cannot be compared with himself at all. How could he do such a thing?
What's more, with his understanding of Li Wenyuan, if something like this happens, he will inevitably come to the door to seek justice. But after such a period of time, he couldn't even see Li Wenyuan's shadow.
Li Wenyuan is not such a calm man, the prefect thinks that although his friendship with Li Wenyuan is not very close, it can be regarded as a nodding friend, although Li Wenyuan is a man. Prostitution business for many years, but in fact a very simple man.
How could such a man, whose most precious daughter have been taken captive, be indifferent? This is also the reason why the prefect does not think that he knows the truth.
In fact, it's no wonder that the prefect thinks like this, after all, with Li Wenyuan's temperament, if it weren't for the support of Xie Yu by his side, he would probably suffer a dumb loss this time in order to avoid his wife and daughter being hurt again in the future.
But who would have thought that the prefect not only did not relent, but intensified and became even more rampant, doing such a thing that hurt Li Qinghuan's reputation.
Compared with other things, how can Li Wenyuan tolerate this matter about the reputation of the girl's family?
What's more, he is very optimistic about Xie Yu and his daughter, and he also hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to get along with the two of them for a while, in case they have feelings for each other, wouldn't it be logical?
At this time, the prefect has to make some noise, this is a matter of Huan'er's reputation, and it is absolutely impossible to play. What's more, his son-in-law has been found, at this juncture, if Huan'er's reputation is ruined, if she and Xie Yu become relatives, how will others think of Huan'er, and how will they view Xie Yu?
He didn't want Xie Yu to suffer any damage to his reputation, although he couldn't sway the eyes of others, and he wouldn't care, but living in this world, as long as he was not an ordinary person, it was easy to be pointed at by others.
As a father, he doesn't want his precious daughter to get the blessing of others when she gets married, but to point fingers and suspicions, which he categorically can't accept.
This is also why, as soon as this incident came out, Li Wenyuan decided that he could no longer be silent like this. What's more, with Xie Yu by his side to support him, Li Wenyuan also felt full of confidence.
Hmph, what is the prefect, if it was before, maybe he would still respect that man, but now, he already knows the true face of this man, and knows that he has done such a crazy thing, this so-called prefect identity, in his eyes, is not a fart!
The prefect didn't know that the Li Wenyuan he thought was no longer the original Li Wenyuan.
Regarding the matter between the eldest lady of the Li Mansion and the prefect, it can be said that it is becoming more and more fierce among the people, and there are all kinds of arguments. But everything that has changed is the same thing, all of which are all good things done by the prefect, it was he who hurt Miss Li, and Miss Li and him clearly have no grievances, but because he was hurt and his reputation was damaged.
What's more, all of this was secretly instructed by the prefect, otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to know about Miss Li's injury.
If it's just a rumor, that's it, it's really hard to tell the truth from the fake.
But more importantly, the day after this rumor appeared, there were already witnesses.
One is Miss Li's personal maid Lan Xin, who explained in detail how the prefect came out to meet her that day, and how he coerced her, restoring the scene at that time.
Even what she ate, Lan Xin remembered it clearly.
Someone with a heart checked it out like this, hey, this food is indeed the characteristic of the teahouse, and she, an ordinary maid, can't afford to consume it. Even Miss Li's personal maid in the Li Mansion is impossible to consume here.
What's more, that day, Lan Xin's expression was in a hurry, and she bumped into a guest in the teahouse, who still had some impressions of her.
As soon as she said this, the credibility of this maid was a little higher.
What's more, the prefect threatened her with the girl's past, and if she stood in the maid's position, she could only choose to become an accomplice.
Therefore, as soon as Lan Xin stood up and talked about his previous experience, his eyes were red.
The people watching from the side, even if some people haven't trusted her yet, because of this scene, they can't help but feel sorry for this girl.
