Chapter 366: Where did the girl on the road dig up this person?
Shu Yu and the other two were already standing outside the county yamen. She was a familiar face around the yamen, so someone quickly went to fetch Hu Li. At first, Hu Li thought she was worried about Lu Sixing or wanted to inquire about news regarding Yuan Shanchuan, so he came to take a look. It wasn't until he saw the person that Shu Yu whispered a sentence, and he looked at Yuan Shanchuan, who was standing behind her, in surprise. Yuan Shanchuan was somewhat nervous but still nodded and respectfully cupped his hands. "Sir, I am Yuan Shanchuan. I... I wish to see the magistrate." "Follow me inside," Hu Li's expression instantly became serious. He led the way, walking quickly, occasionally looking back at Yuan Shanchuan. It was truly strange. They had dispatched so many people and searched an area of hundreds of miles, but they hadn't found any clues. Where did this girl dig up this person on the road? The three followed Hu Li and soon arrived at Xiang Weinan's study. Hu Li turned his head and said to them, "Please wait here." Then, as if he couldn't rest assured, he said to Yuan Shanchuan, "Don't go anywhere. If you have anything to say, say it clearly. Our magistrate understands justice and is very fair and impartial. As long as you haven't committed any crimes, there won't be any problems." Upon hearing this, Shu Yu couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears. Hu Li went inside to report to Xiang Weinan and soon came out. The study door opened, and Xiang Weinan had already stood up, staring straight at Yuan Shanchuan. Yuan Shanchuan had already mentally prepared himself, but now, being looked at like this, he suddenly became nervous again, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. It was the Da Niu standing by the side who spoke first. "This humble one is Lu Da Niu, I've seen the county magistrate." Yuan Shanchuan snapped back to his senses and quickly knelt down. "This humble one is Yuan Shanchuan, I've seen the county magistrate." Both of them knelt down, leaving Shu Yu standing in the middle, feeling out of place. She had three black lines sliding down her forehead. "..." Unfortunately, Xiang Weinan and Hu Li also calmed down and looked at her together. Veins bulged on Shu Yu's forehead, and she slightly bent her body, "I am Lu Shuyu, I've seen the magistrate." Xiang Weinan coughed lightly, sat back in his chair, and said to the two below, "No need to be overly courteous, stand up and speak." "Yes." Yuan Shanchuan and Da Niu nervously stood up. Xiang Weinan saw their appearance and looked directly at Shu Yu. "Miss Lu, why don't you explain how you found Yuan Shanchuan?" Shu Yu didn't really want to admit that she had been to the black market, but now it was too late to be dishonest. She took a deep breath and could only explain the whole thing in detail. When she mentioned Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi, she didn't reveal their real names. It was enough for Xiang Weinan to understand when she mentioned that Meng Yunzheng had replaced the original painting with a fake one on the spot. Sure enough, Xiang Weinan was astonished. "You actually encountered them..." Then he asked with a hint of urgency, "What about the painting?" Yuan Shanchuan quickly presented the painting, and Xiang Weinan opened it, unable to help but smile. "Good, it's this one. Finally, this thing didn't fall into the hands of those scoundrels." Yuan Shanchuan discreetly raised his eyes. Seeing that the magistrate was indeed as approachable as Ah Yu had said, he finally felt a little relieved and whispered, "Although the painting has been retrieved, I... I don't know if there's anything inside it." Xiang Weinan nodded. "It's normal that you don't know."
