Chapter 400: Coming to Give Rewards
Hu Li was taken aback for a moment as he scrutinized Auntie Yao. "Why are you so quick to judge people? Why do you curse others for no reason?"
Auntie Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, that's not what I meant. It's just that Yuan Shanchuan had some trouble recently, and I was worried. I absolutely didn't mean to curse him."
Although she said so, Auntie Yao didn't dare to ask any further.
Fortunately, Village Chief Chen arrived quickly, wading through the rainwater, and was the first to ask, "Sir, what brings you here looking for Shanchuan?"
Hu Li recognized the Village Chief and had a decent attitude towards him. "Yuan Shanchuan has performed meritorious deeds. Thanks to the information he provided, we successfully captured the murderer who killed the Zhao family. The superior has said that Yuan Shanchuan is brave and resourceful, deserving of commendation. That's why we have come to find him."
In fact, the murderer had already been captured two days before Yuan Shanchuan returned. However, they had been investigating subsequent matters, so there hadn't been time to announce it publicly.
That's why Xiang Weinan had instructed Yuan Shanchuan to claim that he had gone missing during this period.
Now that the Zhao family murder case could be closed, there was no need to keep the news of the arrest a secret.
However, the words Hu Li spoke left the villagers of Daxu dumbfounded.
What?
Officials have come to find Yuan Shanchuan not because he has done something wrong, but because he has accomplished something and is to be rewarded by the county magistrate?
Goodness, this is a tremendous piece of good news.
The Village Chief was also delighted and hurriedly said, "I knew Shanchuan was a good person. He always handles things appropriately. It's just that Shanchuan went to his in-laws place yesterday. In that case, let me send someone to Shishi Village and inform Yuan Shanchuan to come back. Sirs, please come to my place and have a cup of tea to warm up. Considering the heavy rain, it's truly commendable that you've made the trip."
If the official himself personally comes to give the reward, even if Yuan Shanchuan is sick, he should return.
It wouldn't be appropriate to make the official go to Shishi Village, especially in the rain. If the official becomes unhappy, the rewards that were originally there might be lost.
However, Hu Li waved his hand. "There's no need. Let's go directly to Shishi Village."
They knew about Yuan Shanchuan's illness, and in the future, they might become colleagues, so there was no need to dwell on such trivial matters.
The Village Chief also didn't want Yuan Shanchuan to travel back and forth with his illness. Seeing that the official had said so, he immediately smiled and said, "Alright then, Shishi Village isn't far from Daxu Village. I'll lead the way for you, sirs."
Hu Li nodded and shook off the water droplets from his raincoat.
Fortunately, the rain had lessened considerably by now.
He turned around to follow the Village Chief's footsteps, while the Yuan family members, who had been dazed for a while after hearing the whole story, finally snapped back to reality.
Yuan Shanchuan hadn't caused trouble, and he was going to receive commendation from the yamen? How could this be?
The Yuan family members took a subconscious step forward, and Yuan Laoda, the eldest of the family, anxiously asked, "Official, what kind of reward will Yuan Shanchuan receive?"
Would there be a lot of silver? Is he going to get rich?
The two elder of Yuan family members also looked eagerly at him.
Hu Li furrowed his brow, but before he could speak, the Village Chief hurriedly approached and pointed at Yuan Laoda's nose, scolding, "What are you doing? What does Shanchuan's reward have to do with you? Don't forget, you cut off ties with him yesterday. I still have a copy of the severed relationship guarantee in my possession. What's this? You've only slept for a night, and you've forgotten all about it, is that it?"
