Chapter 318: Only Four People Can Go

 Chapter 318: Only Four People Can Go

Xiang Weinan was puzzled. "Miss Shu from the Shu family?" "Yes, there might be some unexpected gains," Shu Yu replied. She was naturally willing to bring down the Shu family as soon as possible. Xiang Weinan thought for a moment and rubbed his chin. "Miss Shu, I understand." In fact, there wasn't much Shu Yu could provide. The book mainly focused on the love story between the male and female leads, and the downfall of the Shu family had some additional plot due to the presence of a vicious supporting female character. But that was the extent of it. After discussing what Xiang wanted to know, Shu Yu finally asked about Yuan Shanchuan. "What crime did my fourth uncle actually commit?" Xiang Weinan glanced at her and replied, "We won't know the specifics until he's found. But before the former county magistrate was arrested, he might have had some anticipation and hid crucial evidence among the goods intended to be transported out of the city to Dong'an Prefecture. Among the people involved in transporting the goods was Yuan Shanchuan." "Now, out of the group of people who were transporting the goods, two have died and two have been arrested. Only Yuan Shanchuan is missing. Coincidentally, the goods have been found, but the piece of evidence was taken away separately by Yuan Shanchuan, and we don't know where he went." Shu Yu furrowed her brows. "But my fourth uncle might not have known what it was and just accidentally took it, right?" "That's a possibility, of course, but it's just speculation. We need evidence to prove that he was unaware," Xiang Weinan explained. Shu Yu understood. In fact, this was good news for her. She thought that Xiang Weinan had sufficient evidence to prove Yuan Shanchuan's collusion with the former county magistrate. If that were the case, she would only be able to salvage what she could from her fourth aunt. Now, after hearing his words, it seemed that there was still room for maneuver. "What about my fourth aunt..." Shu Yu began. Xiang Weinan leaned back in his chair. "I have already questioned the Yuan family and Lu Shi. At the moment, it seems that they are genuinely unaware. However, they can't leave yet. We have to wait until Yuan Shanchuan is found." Pausing for a moment, he added, "Rest assured, they won't be in any danger for now." With Xiang Weinan's assurance, Shu Yu felt somewhat relieved. "Can we go visit my fourth aunt?" Xiang Weinan nodded. After expressing her gratitude, Shu Yu left the study. In the main hall, the old lady and the others were anxious. When they saw Shu Yu coming out, they hurriedly surrounded her and asked, "How did it go? What did the officer say?" Shu Yu shook her head. She couldn't disclose what Xiang Weinan had said in the study. Instead, she only said, "The officer agreed for us to visit my fourth aunt." The old lady became happy, and Xiaozhen looked up with shining eyes. However, Hu Li, who accompanied Shu Yu, said, "But there can only be four people going. The officer said that's the limit." Four people... Shu Yu, the old lady, and Xiaozhen were definitely going. The old lady's gaze scanned the surroundings, landing on Lu Dasong and Da Niu, then finally settling on Village Chief Chen. She sighed and said, "Dasong and Da Niu, you two wait outside. Village Chief Chen, you come with us. The situation at the Yuan family happened suddenly, and many things probably haven't been explained." Village Chief Chen nodded hastily. "Thank you, Sister-in-law Lu." With the visitors decided, Hu Li led the way, walking towards a nearby house not far from the county yamen.
