Chapter 687: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Lu Erbai also noticed that brother Yao was missing. He quickly turned his head and asked the young man, "Yao Bo, what's going on? Where is your father?"
"My father has been detained by the yamen," Yao Bo replied.
Lu Erbai's eyes widened, and even Ah Yu was momentarily stunned.
Detained by the yamen? But the guard had just told her that they had driven someone away.
Yao Bo let out a bitter smile. "Uncle Lu, as you know, my father wanted to see the county magistrate. Early this morning, I accompanied him to the gate of the yamen, hoping to meet with the county magistrate. But the gatekeepers didn't let us in and drove us away. However, shortly after we left, the constables from the yamen suddenly rushed towards us and apprehended us."
"Why did they arrest him?" Lu Erbai asked.
"They said that there's trouble in the county yamen, and they're arresting anyone suspicious. My father had been keeping watch outside the yamen for so long, so they believed he had some nefarious intentions against the county magistrate and wanted to bring us back for interrogation," Yao Bo angrily explained. "We know those constables; we're not suspicious at all. They just found an excuse to gain favor in front of the county magistrate."
Ah Yu was puzzled. "Gain favor? What favor?"
"The constable who arrested me doesn't live far from here. His wife has a good relationship with my wife. He took advantage of the chaos to release me. Those constables didn't pursue us further after I escaped. After I got away, that constable came back with an excuse."
"He told me that trouble had arisen in the county, and the people associated with the county magistrate had also encountered problems. Once the county magistrate was taken away, several positions would become vacant. As a result, these constables who usually stayed on the fringe might have a chance to be promoted. That's why they are currently running around, not letting go of anyone suspicious. They bring them in for interrogation first and release them only after confirming that they're innocent. Not only my father, but they have also arrested several people since yesterday afternoon, including the local ringleader, boss He."
Ah Yu pondered. What should she say?
At this moment, Madam Yao finally stopped crying. She wiped her tears and said, "Our Yao family has always been law-abiding, so there shouldn't be any problem. They will release my husband. But I'm worried that he will suffer inside. Those constables' methods of interrogation are far from gentle."
Moreover, Yao had originally been sent here as a convicted criminal.
What the Yao family was worried about was also a concern for Lu Erbo.
Seeing his helpless expression, Ah Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask Yao Bo, "Brother Yao, does Uncle Yao have something in his possession that he wants to hand over to Mr. Qi?"
Yao Bo hesitated for a moment, glanced at her, but didn't answer.
Lu Erbai quickly said, "This is my second daughter, Ah Yu. You can trust her completely. If you have anything to say, just tell her."
Yao Bo's eyelid twitched. Did he distrust Ah Yu? Didn't he trust Lu Erbai either?
Ah Yu nearly burst out laughing at her father's words. She cleared her throat and reassured the anxious Lu Erbai before turning to Yao Bo. "I can meet with Mr. Qi. I have an item from Mr. Qi that can not only save your father but also take him to meet someone. But before I take the risk, I need to know what you have in your possession. Otherwise, if I introduce you without knowing what you can provide, it might end up putting me in danger."
