Chapter 110 The news in the Pu family
The next day, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing heard that the county government had issued a notice asking everyone to participate in the fight against the snow disaster, and that wealthy households in the city had donated charcoal and firewood to the county government.

After clearing the snow on their roof and yard, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing kept enough charcoal at home for their own use, and sent all the rest to the county government.

However, there has been no news about the Pu family, and the price of charcoal has not dropped.

Just when Ye Ximing thought that Mr. Wu might not want to offend the Pu family, he heard that an old woman went to the county government to accuse the Pu family's legitimate son of murdering his wife, causing their whole family to be destroyed.

Because all the personal and material evidence was available, the Pu family's legitimate son was arrested by Mr. Wu and put in jail that day.

Ye Ximing stared at the void for a while, lost in thought, and then lowered his head again and continued reading the book in his hand.

Although this incident cannot cause much harm or loss to the Pu family, it is good to add a little trouble to the Pu family.

Although Pu Rui, the head of the Pu family, has many children, he only has two legitimate sons.

Pu Xiuhua was not only his legitimate son, but also his eldest son. Pu Rui valued this son very much. More importantly, Pu Xiuhua had a good relationship with his other legitimate son, Pu Xiuwen, who had been appointed as a concubine.

Therefore, Pu Rui cannot ignore Pu Xiuhua no matter what.

Upon hearing the news of Pu Xiuhua's arrest, Pu Rui ignored the crying Mrs. Pu and immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Pu Rui couldn't help but frown when he heard that the reason for Pu Xiuhua's arrest was a matter that had been settled a few years ago.

"Weren't their family already frightened at that time and promised not to pursue the matter with the money? Where do they have the courage to file a lawsuit now?"

However, Pu Rui didn't pay too much attention. He ordered his followers without thinking: "Go and have a good talk with their family and ask them to go to the county office to admit their mistake and admit that they are false accusations. Otherwise, we will Let them know the consequences of offending our Pu family,"

"Yes, sir."

Pu Rui's entourage responded and took people to the old woman's village in the wind and snow. Who knew that the old woman's house was empty.

After asking around in the village, he found out that the old woman's second son died in an accident two months ago, and her husband-in-law, who had broken his leg and was paralyzed on the bed, couldn't bear the shock and followed him.

A few days ago, the old woman took her only grandson to the county town to complain, and she never came back.

Pu Rui's followers returned to Pu Rui's house and told Pu Rui what they had learned.

"Sure enough, she was a cheap person. How could she die so easily?" Pu Rui cursed in a low voice and asked the attendant: "Does the death of her second son have anything to do with our family?"

The attendant lowered his head and said, "Young man, go and inquire."

"Go quickly." Pu Rui scolded: "I can't even do anything."

It took the entourage half a day to finally find out the cause of death of the old lady's second son.

In fact, the cause of death of the old woman's second son is considered to be related to the Pu family, but it doesn't matter if it is not related. It turned out that the old woman's son came to the county to sell mountain products that day. He accidentally bumped into the third girl of the Pu family and soiled the dress of the third girl of the Pu family.

When the third lady of the Pu family was angry, she had all the goods thrown away by the man, and then she found someone to beat him up.

The man originally wanted to use the money from buying mountain goods to buy medicine for his father, but the goods were gone and the money was not earned. After the man returned home, he had to go back into the mountains with his injuries to pick wild products again. Unexpectedly, he was unlucky. While picking wild products, he rolled down the slope, hit his head on a rock, and died immediately.

After hearing the news from his entourage, Pu Rui angrily called Miss Pu San over and scolded her.

Although in his opinion, the old woman's son had a despicable life, he would just die if he died, and it had nothing to do with their family.

But obviously the old woman didn't think so. She thought that Miss Pu San threw away the mountain goods that her second son had brought to sell for money, and then had her second son injured. The second son had to go into the mountains with his injuries before he was killed in the accident. .

But it was no use just scolding Miss Pu San. Now the rest of the woman's family was gone, and he couldn't find the woman and the child. If he wanted to rescue Pu Xiuhua, he had to turn to Magistrate Wu.

Pu Rui gave instructions to his entourage, and asked Mrs. Pu to prepare a heavy gift for him, and then went to the county government office with the gift.

Magistrate Wu was processing official documents in the county government office. After hearing from Chief Hu that Pu Rui had arrived, he did not stop writing in his hand. Instead, he said to Chief Hu: "Just follow what we have agreed upon."

"Okay, my lord."

Director Hu responded and went out to tell Pu Rui: "Mr. Pu, I'm sorry, we adults are still dealing with official business. We may have to ask you to wait for a while."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Pu Rui's eyes, but he endured it and said to Master Hu with a smile: "Master Wu is busy with official duties, so it doesn't matter if I wait for him here."

Master Hu sat down opposite Pu Rui and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Pu, for your understanding."

Pu Rui smiled and said nothing. He took a sip of the hot tea at his hand and chatted with Chief Hu.

But more than two quarters of an hour later, Magistrate Wu had not appeared. There was no charcoal pot in the hall. Pu Rui couldn't bear the cold. He picked up the tea cup at hand and wanted to drink tea to warm himself up, but found that the tea cup The tea inside has long since become cold.

Pu Rui has been running rampant in Nanxing County for so many years, and this is the first time he has been so angry. The smile on his face can no longer be suppressed, and he asked Master Hu with a cold face: "Master Hu, you Master Wu are really busy. Still don’t want to see me?”

Master Hu shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Pu, you misunderstood, haven't you? We adults still want to be the magistrate of Nanxing County in the future, why don't we want to see you? He is currently busy with things. There are indeed many, and some of them are too busy, so I can only ask you to wait for him here."

"Oh?" Pu Rui put away the anger on his face, stared at Master Hu and asked, "What are you Mr. Wu busy with recently? Are you busy thinking about how to punish my son?"

"How could it be?" Director Hu said with a smile: "Don't worry, we, Mr. Wu, don't want to arrest Pu Gongzi, but the evidence in the woman's hands is too complete, so we, Mr. Wu, have to arrest her."

After saying that, Master Hu quickly added: "But Mr. Pu, don't worry, we adults have told the people below to take good care of Pu Gongzi, and Pu Gongzi will not be wronged inside."

Pu Rui smiled and said: "Then I will thank Mr. Wu later, but this prison is always not as comfortable as outside. Besides, how could my son with his status kill someone for a woman? That old woman is like this He framed my son in order to extort some money. Mr. Wu has always been smart, and he will definitely be able to give my son justice. Do you think so, Mr. Hu? "
