The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Release the Person (5)

It must be said, this County Magistrate Li is quite astute.

This casual glance, however, gave him a shock; he certainly knew the man, as it was after taking the Zhao Family’s silver that he had sentenced him. He didn’t expect the man to be acquainted with Prince Three. And who was Prince Three? A War God, one who kills without batting an eyelid. It’s said he has even gone south recently to exterminate bandits...

Therefore, the frightened County Government Official thought the Zhao Family was setting him up. If Prince Three were to investigate, then he...

After touching his head, County Magistrate Li decided to make amends.

But how to make amends?

His advisor gave a suggestion that according to the Daxuan legal code, for those who commit assault without causing death, depending on the severity of the circumstances, they could be sentenced to labor from three months to three years. Considering that Qiu Lei had already been incarcerated for half a year, they could say his behavior has been good and the injured party is not pursuing the matter, allowing for his early release.

”But what about the Tea Mountain?” County Magistrate Li frowned.

”That’s a clear and black-and-white transaction between them...” The advisor spread his hands, ”We had no hand in their business dealings.”

Hearing this rationale, County Magistrate Li immediately issued the order and declared in front of Yang Ruxin that Qiu Lei could be released.

Qiu Lei was actually wronged; originally, he was just walking along the road when a young girl suddenly ran over and embraced him and then began crying harassment. He didn’t even have a chance to react before others came to strike him. He defended himself on instinct, not expecting to actually injure Young Master Zhao...

Just as Yang Ruxin had finished hearing his story, a Government Official came to release him, which made the corners of her mouth twitch involuntarily. It seemed that the reputation of Prince Three was truly effective.

Qiu Lei, however, was dumbfounded.

”Let’s go,” said Yang Ruxin with a smile, ”Your parents are waiting for you outside...” Since the County Magistrate was so insightful, it saved her a lot of trouble.

”This...” Qiu Lei felt as if he was dreaming, so he pinched himself only to take a sharp intake of breath from the sting. It truly hurt, so it seemed this wasn’t a dream.

Yang Ruxin smiled and shook her head, then took the lead in walking out, yet she saw County Magistrate Li standing respectfully at the entrance, to which she stepped forward: ”County Magistrate Li is truly a wise man.”

”The young lady flatters me,” replied County Magistrate Li, bowing hurriedly with respect, but with a bitter smile inside. This young lady really knew how to make a sarcastic remark.

Yang Ruxin merely smiled and did not say more. She had no intention of making enemies with anyone; all she wanted was for the kind elder couple to have a family reunion. Of course, she also had a bit of self-interest, which was to enter the tea business, since her mother’s dowry included a Tea Mountain, and Old Man Qiu was a skilled tea maker. Thus, her actions were also intended to win people over.

Yun Yang thanked County Magistrate Li and made it a point to communicate that he would definitely inform the Prince of the matter.

As for whether the news was a blessing or a woe, it would depend on his own fate.

After respectfully seeing the visitors out of the County Governor’s Office, County Magistrate Li hurriedly sent people to the Zhao Family to keep them informed and to return the Zhao Family’s silver he had received; he dared not keep it.

What the Zhao Family would do after learning of this was now their own business.

After leaving the County Governor’s Office, Yang Ruxin bade farewell to Yun Yang: ”Go back and tell your Family Head that I have taken note of this favor and will surely repay it in the future.” Then she left with Qiu Lei.

Yun Yang glanced at Yang Ruxin’s retreating figure, briefly furrowed his brows, and hurried away. He had to go back and report everything to his master.
