Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 78

"It seems that you know the announcement this morning."

"I see, I see." The boy at the gate nodded his head.

Xia Junyan took a deep look at the kid, and said: "The county magistrate has been busy with Liu Wu's affairs all night and has not closed his eyes. He has wasted so much energy. I think your gambling shop has been sent by the officials for a few days. Let's go talk, please."

The kid shrank his head: "Yes..."

Xia Junyan didn't seem to see the ashen face of the janitor boy at all, and said with a soft smile: "How did I hear that the money owed by my father was not only taken by Liu Wu, but also shared by other people?" Who are they? Liu Wu is now exiled to the army, how do you think the county magistrate will try those people who took the money back then?"

"There is no such thing as a small one!" The doorkeeper knelt down in fright.

Xia Junyan took a few steps back: "Whether you are there or not, I don't care. The county magistrate will have a trial. It just so happens that Liu's fifth trial is over, and the people behind should also go to the Yamen for the first trial."

"Miss Xia raises her hand high, please spare the little one!" The boy kowtowed again regardless.

Xia Junyan sighed silently, this person was really scared.She has said so much, if she wants to put Liu Wu on her body, she will have bitten out everyone else, but this kid is still begging for mercy.

Xia Junyan took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Get up! This is the gate of the gambling house, are you crying like this to recruit all the arresters?"

The boy rubbed his tears and looked at her dazedly: "Huh?"

"I'll let you get up!" Xia Junyan glanced at him, and the boy stood up stupidly. The next moment, Xia Junyan took him to a corner and asked, "What's your name?"

"Small money is expensive."

Xia Junyan said: "You know better than my little girl how those officials handle the case. It stands to reason that I am the one who suffers in this case. Even if you are taken away by the yamen, as long as I say that you have nothing to do with this case, the county magistrate will also I won't kill you. Don't be in a hurry to say thank you. I have something to ask you, and you answer truthfully. If I know that you lied, then I will ask other boys in the casino. I have a good memory, when you came to pay back the money back then, you boss Liu was not the only one beside you, maybe there are other boys who know more about Liu Wu."

"They definitely don't know the little one!" Qian Gui heard that he was still saved, and he didn't care about other people, so he said immediately: "Auntie, just ask, if the little one dares to tell a lie, let the little one... also ...distributed to the army!"

"Okay! I want you to tell me exactly how my father came to the casino, with whom he came, how he gambled, and how he lost!"

Qian Gui knew that this was his last chance.Yun'an Town is not big, and there are not many cases. For Qian Gui, such a sudden exile seems to exist only in dramas.But yesterday he saw with his own eyes a large group of officials coming to the gambling house to pick up people. In the past, these servants still showed affection for the gambling house in terms of their previous filial piety, but no matter how much Liu Wu begged for mercy that day, they couldn't do it.That's the incomparably majestic Liu Tou in the casino!
Qian Gui thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "Actually, Liu Wu didn't do it alone. At first, Liu Wu didn't know Mr. Xia at all. Before Mr. Xia came to gamble, there was a regular customer in the casino called Li Shengrong He said at the time that he had a younger sister who married into Shuanghe Village, and that the younger sister had a son who was very competitive in studying. That Li Shengrong gambled and lost a lot, and later told Liu Wu that he was pulling someone to gamble Fang, and transfer my debt to that person by the way."

"Is this man my father?"
