Chapter 484
"My family has been doing business for generations. My father has only one daughter, so I have no choice but to raise a wife. My husband is also a capable man. With my father's support, he started doing business on the canal. As a result, the business grew bigger and bigger. He was barely considered the richest man in the local area. There was news in the city a month ago..."

This place is under the jurisdiction of Prince Ling, who will come to take over the fiefdom in the near future. He Zhixian used this as an excuse to summon wealthy businessmen from the gold and silver cities to a banquet.

Liu's biological father and wealthy businessman were naturally invited.

At this kind of banquet, men have men's social interactions, and women also have women's social interactions.

All the wealthy businessmen took their wives with them, and naturally Mrs. Liu also went.

She was persuaded to drink during the banquet, and she went to the guest room to rest on the pretext that she was too drunk. When she woke up, she was lying naked on the bed with a man sleeping next to her.

"Then the brother from Hezhi County saw that I was beautiful and drugged my drink to stain my innocence. After I woke up, he drugged me again while I was awake..."

"I just wanted to die at that time, but when I thought about what my husband said, there is hope only when people are alive, but there is no chance at all after death, so I endured nausea and ran away home."

"My father and husband knew what happened to me and wanted to come to seek justice for me, but they were labeled as assassins and sent to prison. They lost their lives for no reason."

Mrs. Liu burst into tears when she said this. Her voice trembled and she continued: "The county government refused to conduct an autopsy. They kept saying that my father and husband committed suicide out of fear of crime. Even the corpses were burned in the capital and they were buried. Other crimes include taking my family's property..."

"I had no way to complain. I heard the news that Prince Ling had come to Jincheng, so I came to the street to stop the sedan. I didn't expect that it was the dog official who stopped me."

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she was already crying.

"These beasts, this is simply..." Tian Cuihua felt that this Liu family was so miserable.

Jiang Hao also frowned, "Have you ever tried to appeal?"

A small county magistrate dares to treat human life so lightly.

Ms. Liu smiled bitterly, "It's useless. Officials protect each other. The He family is here to cover the sky with one hand, and they are the emperor. If you hadn't saved me today, I might not have survived tomorrow."

"I know what happened to you. You can rest assured and have a good rest here..."

Halfway through Jiang Hao's words, he suddenly heard movement downstairs.

At this moment, a group of government servants broke into Wanfu Tower.

"How many officials are here? Please sit down, please sit down." The shopkeeper who was settling accounts hurriedly came over to greet them.

"Secretary, please give these officials a jug of good wine first!"

The waiter responded, "Come right away."

"No need." The leading yamen officer raised his hand, "I'm not here to drink and eat meat. Shopkeeper, how many foreigners live in your Wanfu Building? Then this person is a criminal!"

"Outlander?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment, "I don't know how many guests the Wanfu Building receives every day. I wonder if some of the officials are talking about foreigners from there?"

"A young couple with a five-six-month-old baby, and a few servants with good skills. There are two maids who are twin sisters with outstanding appearance, and there is an old man with a gray beard."

The yamen servant described it in such detail that the shopkeeper knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

I thought, I've suffered.

Looking at the waiter, the waiter immediately understood.

The shopkeeper had a grimace on his face and said, "Master, look at the number of people I welcome and send to you every day. I really can't remember them!"

The officer's eyes were cold, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember, search!"

"Alas, gentlemen, if you search, the store will no longer be able to do business," the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him.

With a very low posture, he took out a large banknote from his sleeve and handed it to the leader, "Master, we don't dare to harbor criminals in this store. See if you can make it easier."

The leader pushed his hand away, "Shopkeeper, this matter is of great importance. Don't blame us brothers for not giving you face, search!"

upstairs.

Without waiting for the waiter to give the news, Xiao Jingshan and others had already heard the noise and packed their things.

When the waiter saw this posture, he was also smart and said directly: "Follow me through the back door."

Xiao Jingshan motioned for everyone to follow him. It was not appropriate to confront the He family at this time. If the He family did not recognize his identity, it would put people around him in danger.Jiang Hao was a little worried that if they left like this, they would hurt others, "Your shopkeeper..."

The waiter in the shop whispered while leading the way, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper is fine. Whoever has some background doesn't know that the boss of our Wanfu Building is the heir apparent of the Duke's Palace. These government servants are not that bold."

Anba was curious, "Can a lowly guy like a government official know the big boss behind Wanfu Tower?"

The waiter said, "Hey, they don't know that we have a mouth. Only by showing some backing can this business continue safely."

Anba gave him a thumbs up. Sure enough, smart people are indispensable in every industry.

Mrs. Liu was supported by Tian Cuihua and Zhao Xuehua, and felt uneasy, "Several benefactors, you have also offended the officials of Jincheng, so you have to run away?"

Jiang Hao comforted her, "It's a long story. We are not bad people. Just follow us."

As soon as I walked out of the back door, Xiaojiu arrived.

"The boss's family is back and they got the things."

Xiaojiu still wore the same outfit as before, which really surprised people who had never seen her before.

"Come on!"

……

He Sanshao's residence.

Unexpectedly, he got the whereabouts of Prince Ling from a random woman. It took no effort at all.

"Mom, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and send someone to invite Prince Ling!" He Sanshao was so excited that he said the word "invite" with a particularly strong accent.

"Inform your eldest and second brothers first and let them find out whether the news is true."

Aunt Lian looked at Su Qiu carefully while speaking and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so the news was probably true.

Su Qiu was still trembling, and she also remembered at the critical moment that Jiang Hao and his party seemed to have been disguising themselves, and their identities were definitely not ordinary people.

Moreover, Shopkeeper Xiao is so handsome and extraordinary that he does not look like an ordinary person, he must be Prince Ling.

The more Su Qiu thought about it, the more she felt it was.

If shopkeeper Xiao is really Prince Ling, then she will be saved.

If she had known she would almost die, she would never have left the inn alone.

Third Young Master He on the side said gruffly, obviously dissatisfied, "With such a good opportunity, why should the eldest and second brothers also get a share of the pie?"

If he achieves this great feat, everything in the He family will belong to him.

Aunt Lian shook her head, "No, this matter is of great importance. We must not argue with your brother for the length of time at this time."

Aunt Lian is still very cautious. This woman named Su Qiu has never met Prince Ling. What if she doesn't live in the inn?

Or if it was true, her son couldn't bear it alone if something happened.

Aunt Lian repeatedly warned, "In short, you should listen to mother's arrangements on this matter and don't act rashly."

Mr. He could only do as he was told.

Aunt Lian would not go back for the time being. Mr. He settled down with Aunt Lian and returned to the room feeling unhappy.

Just as he was about to vent his anger to the beauty, he saw that the beauty had fallen asleep on the bed, and the servant at the door had died somewhere.

Third Young Master He suppressed the evil fire and opened the quilt with a ferocious smile. The beauty was gone, and his servant was sleeping on the bed.

Seeing this, Mr. He's expression changed and he hurried to the study.

Then it was discovered that his important letters and account books were missing.

"Bitch, you dare to set a trap for me. When I find you, I will crush you to ashes!"
