They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 274 Officer Yu

Officer Yu said solemnly, “Mingxuan, your brother and I have a life-or-death bond. His brother is my brother. Even if you don’t trust me, don’t you trust your brother? Your brother told you to come to me if you need anything, big or small, good or bad. You can come whenever you want, and I’ll help you find a solution. You don’t need to feel guilty. I can’t say this to others, but I definitely won’t tell you anything you told me not to tell anyone!”

Officer Yu had been secretly watching Liang Mingxuan and Xu Zhichun, so he naturally knew how formidable his brother's wife was, and how increasingly formidable she was, leaving everyone in awe.

Mingxuan was also outstanding. The county magistrate and Master Shao both praised him highly. The headmaster and teachers of the county school also thought highly of him. Madam Xu treated him very well and had the ability to provide him with excellent conditions and protect him well.

When Constable Yu saw Liang Mingxuan, he was quite surprised.

He arrived unexpectedly, without any prior warning.

Since Liang Mingxuan had already come all this way, he must have considered the matter carefully before deciding not to speak up.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Officer Yu: "Brother Yu, what I'm about to say concerns my sister-in-law, so you must keep it a secret for me."

"Your sister-in-law? Madam Xu?" Constable Yu was shocked again, his eyes wide with surprise. "How could this be! Is Madam Xu two-faced, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back? Is she only nice to you on the surface, but secretly using some underhanded and despicable means to deal with you? Don't be afraid, tell Brother Yu, Brother Yu will stand up for you!"

"No, no! Brother Yu, you've misunderstood. My sister-in-law is very good to me, very, very good!"

Liang Mingxuan was both amused and exasperated.

He was shocked.

I never expected Brother Yu to come up with such an outrageous idea. I was so shocked that I was stunned for a moment.

Officer Yu exclaimed "Ah?" realizing he had overreacted and made a blunder. He slapped his forehead and smiled sheepishly. "That's right, that's right. I've met that Xu woman several times, she doesn't seem like that kind of person. I misunderstood, Mingxuan, don't take it to heart. Tell me, what happened?"

Liang Mingxuan said softly, "I feel that someone has ill intentions towards my sister-in-law."

Officer Yu: "."

He wasn't quite used to the shock today, and had been temporarily desensitized. For once, he didn't exclaim in surprise, but looked at Liang Mingxuan, signaling him to continue.

Liang Mingxuan then recounted Young Master Qi's reaction.

"I suspect he has ill intentions towards my sister-in-law."

If it were any other ten-year-old child saying these things, Officer Yu wouldn't believe a single word.

Not well-intentioned? Does this little brat even know what "well-intentioned" means?

But Liang Mingxuan is not an ordinary ten-year-old child.

He was a child prodigy, a prodigy.

"Mingxuan, this is no small matter. Are you really sure you understand?"

Liang Mingxuan nodded vigorously: "Brother Yu, my sister-in-law is my only family now. I respect her and I would never joke about her reputation."

Officer Yu nodded, "That's true."

"Do you think your sister-in-law noticed?"

"I think they must have realized it, after all, my sister-in-law is so smart!"

"."

"Have you mentioned it to your sister-in-law?"

"No, I find it difficult to talk about such things."

"Hey"

Hearing him speak like a child speaking like an adult, Officer Yu felt a mix of amusement and worry. He coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his fist, and asked, "What do you want Brother Yu to do?"

Before Liang Mingxuan arrived, he had been pondering this matter. "First and foremost, this matter must not be exposed. If that young master Qi and his wife, or their servants, come to our Qingshan County again, I would like to ask Brother Yu to keep an eye on them for me. If they do nothing, that's fine, but if they have any ulterior motives, I would appreciate it if Brother Yu could help protect my sister-in-law." For Officer Yu, this was easy. "Sure, don't worry about that. Our Qingshan County is only so big. We'll be in the dark while they're in the light. It'll be easy for us to keep an eye on them."

"Thank you, Brother Yu. If it's alright, would you be willing to investigate that young master Sun or the Sun family? The Zeng family is also fine."

Officer Yu's heart skipped a beat. "You mean—"

"That guy surnamed Sun doesn't seem like the type to give up easily. I don't know how long I'll have to keep guarding against him. If I can find some dirt on him or his family, then I'll think of something else."

We need to find another way to get rid of him.

Otherwise, if there were a slight oversight, wouldn't it harm his sister-in-law? He absolutely could not allow such an accident to happen.

Officer Yu sighed inwardly: He truly deserves to be Minglang's younger brother, a child prodigy, and a young scholar praised by both the county magistrate and Master Shao.

"I'll give it a try because of what you said."

He knew a few people in the neighboring county; he had his own connections, so finding out about them wasn't difficult.

However, whether they can get any useful information is another matter.

Wealthy families like that are bound to have some dirty secrets, but you can't bring them down with just that. To bring them down, something big is needed.

"Thank you, Brother Yu! It doesn't matter whether you investigate trivial matters or not, but it would be even better if you could find out something serious."

As Liang Mingxuan spoke, he took out a small money pouch from his pocket. "Here are two ten-tael silver notes and some loose silver. Brother Yu, please don't be shy. You'll definitely need money to ask around for information."

Officer Yu originally wanted to decline, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't refuse anymore.

He could certainly use personal connections to get those thugs to run errands for him, but money was definitely more useful. Although he earned a considerable monthly income, he was extravagant with his money and hadn't saved much at all.

"Alright, in that case, Brother Yu, I won't refuse. Don't worry, the money will definitely be used where it's needed."

Liang Mingxuan smiled and said, "Brother Yu, you don't need to save money for me. Just use it when you need it. I still have quite a bit of silver, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll come back in a few days and give Brother Yu another fifty taels."

Officer Yu was astonished: "You have so much silver!"

He doesn't have any of that! I'm so envious of him.
Liang Mingxuan: "My sister-in-law often gives me money, saying that expenses at the county school must be high, so I don't need to save and can just spend it. She also said that even if I don't need it for a while, having money on hand will give me confidence."

Officer Yu sighed.

I'm so envious of him.

He's not even as successful as a child anymore.

Does your sister-in-law need a younger brother-in-law? The kind who's good at spending money. He'd be fine too.

"Your sister-in-law is so good to you. Little prodigy, you must take good care of your sister-in-law in the future."

"Ah."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take this matter to heart."

"Thank you, Brother Yu!"

Liang Mingxuan smiled from the bottom of his heart, knowing that Brother Yu really cared.

Officer Yu chuckled and said, "Just focus on your studies at the county school. Leave the outside matters to me. I'll keep you informed if there are any problems. If you have anything to say, just come over. I'm usually home in the afternoons."

"Okay, Brother Yu."

"I'll call a car to take you back to the county school."

"it is good."
