Chapter 141 - -one dead and one injured

“I’m hungry!” He carried the vegetables into the kitchen smugly. Looking at her back, Xiao ran felt like giving her a beating. It was already noon when they had their lunch again. They had a sumptuous breakfast and lunch with eight dishes and one soup. There was even black rice Lotus cake. His craftsmanship was unquestionable, and he had the perfect color, smell, and taste. Shen Lu picked up her chopsticks and kept putting food into his bowl. She looked at him with eager eyes.”Delicious?” “It’s alright. ” Xiao ran said. Xiao Wu, sitting on the ground, also had a share. “How about I cook for you every day from now on?” “Not good! After you finish eating, you should leave quickly. It’s not good if people see you. ” Shen Lu pursed her lips.”I’m a big girl and I’m not afraid. What are you afraid of?” Xiao ran didn’t want to bother with her. This woman was too thick-skinned. He had already said so much, but she still stayed. Bang Bang Bang ... There was a rapid knock on the door, and Xiao Zhou’s cry for help.”Brother Xiao, open the door quickly.” “I’ll open the door. ” Xiao ran said. Shen Lu pressed him down on the chair.”I’ll go.” He walked to the door and opened it. In addition to Xiao Zhou, Shen Yiming also came. He saw Shen Lu open the door. Shen Yiming looked at Xiao Zhou.”Did I come to the wrong place?” “This is not the time for Milord to talk about this.” Little Zhou’s face was bitter. Shen Lu pinched his ear.”Didn’t I tell you? I told you not to disturb me if there’s nothing important. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?” “Aunty, let go of me. I have something urgent to discuss with brother Xiao.” Shen Lu was suspicious. She looked at Shen Yiming and only let go of his ear when she saw him nod. He entered the courtyard and ran straight to the main hall. Seeing that Xiao ran was eating, Xiao Zhou said anxiously,””Brother Xiao, do you know the magistrate Nancheng County?” “I don ‘t.” “Where are the important figures in the court?” “I don’t know him either.” Xiao Zhou sat down weakly, his eyes unfocused.”It’s over. Everything is over.” At this moment, Shen Yiming and Shen Lu also walked in from outside. “What happened?” Xiao ran asked. Shen Yiming explained the situation in a simple way. After listening. Xiao ran looked at Xiao Zhou with a gaze that seemed to be able to see through him.”Didn’t you ask your father? is he really not trying to trick you?” Xiao Zhou was on the verge of tears.”I’ve asked him, but he doesn’t know either. Everything was fine before this. Who knew that this would happen?” “Then what are you doing here?” Shen Yiming explained on his behalf,”I’ve looked for the county Magistrate Nancheng County Administration. A Big Shot from the Ministry of official personnel affairs has spoken and wants to make this matter an ironclad case.” He didn’t let off anyone who was related to the Censorate. This time, Cui Yan’s family is only here in passing. If it were in the past, the county Magistrate might let them go out of respect for me, but not now. ” He pointed at little Zhou. “He also went to find his father, but his father couldn’t do anything about it.” Shen Lu pouted. “Isn’t her father’s case under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice? How does it have anything to do with the Nancheng County government?” Xiao ran asked. “Her father is currently in the Ministry of Justice’s prison, but her family is in South City. The higher-ups have ordered the South City magistrate to arrest them and lock all their family members in prison. All their assets will be confiscated as well.” Shen Yiming said. “Are you here to ask me for help?” “Yes.” Little Zhou nodded his head heavily. “Isn’t old Bai working in Nancheng County?” Xiao ran said. “Lao Bai can’t help in this matter. He can only take care of Cui Yan and the others in secret.” “But I don’t know any important figures in the court either.” Xiao ran was speechless. “Brother Xiao, do you really have no other way?” Little Zhou was unwilling to accept this. “You guys just went on a blind date, and you’ve already fallen for her?” Xiao Zhou was silent. After a long while, she said,”this is not a matter of liking or not. Her father committed a crime, and this has nothing to do with her. Since he had met them, if he didn’t do anything and waited for the Imperial court’s order, this matter would become an ironclad case. If it was light, he would be sent to the border. If it was heavy, he would be sent to the Imperial Academy. No matter what the result is, it will be a disaster for them. ” “This matter is more difficult to handle.” Xiao ran tapped his index finger on the table. Shen Yiming understood the hidden meaning in her words.”There’s a way?” “Let’s try!” Xiao ran said. He stood up from his chair and walked outside. “Brother Xiao, where are you going?” Little Zhou asked. “I’m looking for someone. ” Xiao ran didn’t even turn his head. They arrived at the Imperial prison. The Lieutenant came up to him. He had been busy the whole night and had not slept yet. He had two dark circles under his eyes. “Lord Xiao, you’ve come.” “How is it?” Xiao ran asked. “It’s almost done. There’s still some finishing touches. The file has been sent to Sir Shen.” “Yes.” Xiao ran patted his shoulder. “You’re tired, go rest first!” “Do you want this subordinate to accompany you?” The Lieutenant said. “No need,” “Then this subordinate will take his leave.” After he left, Xiao ran took a look around and saw that the damaged areas had almost recovered. He then entered Inferno hell and stopped at the eldest princess’s place. He opened the cell door and walked in. Seeing him come over, the eldest Princess was rather puzzled.”You’re so free?” “You know the magistrate of Nancheng?” Xiao ran asked. “What is it?” “It’s not a big deal. ” Xiao ran briefly explained what happened to Xiao Zhou. After listening. The eldest Princess smiled slightly and poured a cup of snow ginseng tea and placed it in front of him.”Is such a small matter worth you talking about?” “One can’t act on their own in the martial world.” Xiao ran shrugged. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He took out his identity Jade card and placed it on the table. It was white jade in color and the size of a baby’s palm. The word ‘Chang’ was carved on the front and a five-clawed true dragon was carved on the back. “This is my identity Jade card. Take it, even the three Dukes will have to bow to me.” The eldest Princess said.
