Chapter 616: Will Provide an Explanation
"Xie Rong, report the case! Someone has drugged this young master!" Xie Yu stood up abruptly, indignantly.
The county magistrate, who had just entered, heard this and knew that the situation was serious. Everyone in Nanchang County knew that the Xie family was the largest aristocratic family. Just recently, the county magistrate had been praised by the prefect for successfully organizing a female talent competition. Now, within these few days, one incident after another had occurred.
Wasn't this like slapping him, the county magistrate, in the face? Moreover, he couldn't afford to offend the Xie family. That was the crucial point.
The county magistrate walked in briskly. "Young Master Xie, I will provide you with an explanation for this matter."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. There is some information I need to tell you. I was drugged near the yamen." Xie Yu had already learned from Ye Muyu that he had been abducted near the yamen.
This news made him both angry and reminded him of the best way to resolve the situation.
The county magistrate's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "Someone, interrogate those two men, focusing on why they were lingering near the yamen."
"Also, send people to guard around the yamen."
Xie Yu wasn't in a hurry. "Then, I'll wait for good news from you, Your Excellency."
"Young Master Xie, please rest in the living room for now. I will go and interrogate the prisoners first." the county magistrate didn't want to offend the Xie family. After all, over the years, they had been mutually supportive. The Xie family was a support for him. Otherwise, he would have been forced to join forces with other wealthy merchants, and his position would have been unstable.
As the county magistrate left, the housekeeper hurriedly asked his young master what had happened.
Xie Yu didn't say much, after all, he was still at the yamen. He simply said, "I just arrived near the yamen and hadn't had a chance to enter when I was drugged and abducted."
"What about the servants who were with me?" Xie Yu frowned and asked.
"The servants were also drugged from behind and have been found. They have been detained." the housekeeper replied.
"I think someone from the yamen might be involved in this matter," Xie Yu said.
"What?" The housekeeper's face changed drastically. "Could it be County Magistrate Xu..."
"He doesn't seem to be involved, but send someone to investigate just in case."
"Alright, Young Master."
The housekeeper was full of anger. As he turned to leave, he stopped again. "Young Master, Mrs. Chu, and the two children are at home. I'm afraid they might be in danger, so I took the liberty of keeping them here."
"You did well. Send someone back to inform them, so they don't worry. Sister-in-law is safe."
"I'll wait here for my parents to arrive."
"Alright, Young Master. I'll go now." Xie Rong arranged for guards to protect Xie Yu while he himself swiftly went about his business.
The Xie family.
The master and mistress of the Xie family rushed to the county yamen in a hurry.
Chu Liushi, with the two children, sat in the living room of the Xie family.
Just as the four of them were in a state of agitation, a servant from the Xie family came in to inform them that Ye Muyu was safe.
Chu Liushi's tense heart finally relaxed, and she asked eagerly, "Where is this young man now?"
"Outside, there's someone named Han Zhuang, who should be from the old lady's family, right?" the Xie family servant asked.
Chu Liushi nodded. "Yes."
"Then, I'll bring him in."
"However, before Housekeeper Xie left, he instructed the old lady to keep him, so I can't make the decision without authorization..." The servant's implication was clear. Besides, as soon as they learned that the mistress and the master had gone to the county yamen to find the young master, the mansion was busy dealing with the matter. If something went wrong here as well, he would surely be punished.
Chu Liushi naturally didn't want to cause trouble for the Xie family and nodded. "Thank you."
"The old lady is being polite."
