Chapter 348: This is Clearly Robbery

 Chapter 348: This is Clearly Robbery

Yuan Shanchuan smiled bitterly. Well, wasn't it just that? He spent a long time wandering around this courtyard and was eventually dragged out. "Being dragged out is one thing, but one of the stewards in this place identified me as the thief. They found the painting in my possession, and that steward insisted that the painting was something he had acquired through his own efforts, worth a fortune, and that I stole it from the black market. He demanded that I return the painting." "..." "..." This was clearly a case of robbery. Naturally, Yuan Shanchuan refused to comply. This was something he had risked his life to keep hidden, and now it had been taken by the people from the black market. But he was outnumbered, and he couldn't possibly fight against them. Besides, he was someone who mysteriously appeared in the black market, looking unkempt and poor. How could he possibly possess a valuable painting worth a fortune? Even if he tried to explain, it would be useless. The people from the black market naturally believed the steward's words. The painting couldn't be kept, and it was taken by the steward. Shu Yu fell into thought. "Didn't the escort tell you that the supposed important document was hidden in the painting? Have you ever thought about taking out the document and hiding it separately?" "I did think about it, but I couldn't find anything. I examined the painting inside out several times, but I didn't find any document. I was afraid that if I rummaged around too much, I might damage the document, so I had no choice but to carry the painting with me wherever I went." His painting was taken by the people from the black market, and as a 'thief,' he naturally wasn't allowed to stay. Someone suggested giving him a good beating, blindfolding him, and throwing him out, since at that time, Yuan Shanchuan didn't know where he was or how to get in. Even if he wanted to find the black market, he wouldn't be able to. No one objected, and the steward ordered someone to start beating him. However, at that time, Yuan Shanchuan had been hiding and evading for many days without proper rest or food, so he couldn't withstand being beaten. Halfway through the beating, he collapsed. Moreover, his internal injuries were extremely severe. If he were simply thrown out like that, he might not even survive. Although the people from the black market were engaged in risky business, they weren't so deranged as to take the life of a pitiful 'thief' lightly. Furthermore, they always preferred to keep a low profile. If a life was lost, it would have an impact on the upcoming days of the black market, especially during the transition of a new county magistrate in Jiangyuan County. They couldn't afford to take risks as the new magistrate was not as easily fooled as the previous one. For the time being, Yuan Shanchuan couldn't leave, so he remained in the black market to recover from his injuries. But the steward didn't trust him and had someone watch him closely every day. When he had recovered to some extent, he was given medicine and then escorted out of the black market. It was three days ago when Yuan Shanchuan was sent out of the black market. Shu Yu raised her gaze. No wonder Yuan Shanchuan had been missing for such a long time. It turned out that he had spent more than ten days recovering from his injuries in the black market. Da Niu frowned, "That explains why you, Fourth Uncle, have become so thin in just one month." He seemed to have realized something and quickly stood up, bringing all the food and snacks from the table. "Fourth Uncle, after talking for so long, would you like to eat something first?" Shu Yu clearly saw Yuan Shanchuan discreetly swallow his saliva. It seemed that during his hiding and evading, he hadn't eaten much. Their eldest brother, Da Niu, was indeed a thoughtful person.
