Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone in the room looked at He Dahai.
He Yuan was surprised to see He Dahai. “Dahai, what’s the matter? I have a guest here. If there’s nothing important, you can go back first.”
He Yuan thought that this person was really blind. Didn’t he see that he was greeting important guests?
He Dahai looked at the group of people and was overjoyed. He hurriedly said,
“Village Chief, I know where the fugitive that the officials are looking for is.” The nonchalant person suddenly looked at He Dahai. “What did you say?” Did this cripple just say that he knew where he was?
He Dahai was shocked by his imposing manner. “I-I said I know where he is.” He Dahai stuttered as he spoke.
He Yuan frowned. He looked at He Dahai and wanted to say something but hesitated.
Cui Dongsheng stood up immediately. “Do you know what you mean?”
Cui Dongsheng was the person Su Li had seen on the mountain last time, and also the leader of this group of people.
He Dahai nodded and said, “I saw my next-door neighbor carrying an injured person down from the mountain yesterday. Yesterday, they even hired a doctor and the doctor stayed at my house at night.”
Cui Dongsheng said excitedly, “Take us there quickly!”
Unexpectedly, Ling Yiran was really saved by someone. No wonder they couldn’t find him after searching the mountain for a long time. Moreover, Ling Yiran wasn’t found by their people. At first, they thought that Ling Yiran was eaten by the ferocious beasts on the mountain.
This time, he came to confirm if Ling Yiran had been saved.
As the saying goes, eliminate the root of the problem to prevent future trouble! He Dahai quickly said, “Alright, alright. Officers, follow me.”
When He Dahai brought Cui Dongsheng to the entrance of the He family’s house, the door was tightly shut and there was no movement in the house.
“This is the house?” Cui Dongsheng asked.
This place was closest to the mountain, so it was normal for Ling Yiran to be
saved by this family.
He Dahai nodded. “Yes!”
Cui Dongsheng gave the person behind him a look. The person behind him reached out and prepared to kick the door.
The door creaked open.
The person who was about to kick the door almost fell to the ground. Su Li said playfully, “Oh, what day is it today? Why are there so many people?”
He Yuan looked at Su Li and said, “Su Li, don’t be rude. This is an official.’
Su Li’s eyes lit up. “So it’s officials. I’m really rude. I’m a peasant woman who hasn’t seen the world. Please don’t hold it against me.”
“I heard that you’re giving us money. Is it my family’s turn now? Why did I let you make a trip? I can go over and get it myself.”
At this moment, Su Li vividly portrayed her lack of knowledge.
Cui Dongsheng glanced at Su Li. He did not expect such a beauty to exist in this place. It was fine if she did not speak, but once she did, she was undoubtedly a village woman. What a waste of her face.
When He Dahai saw Su Li come out, he said to Cui Dongsheng, “Official, she is the mistress of this family. She was the one who discovered the injured person last time. Her man carried the fugitive back.”
Su Li glanced at He Dahai coldly from a place where no one could see. She really couldn’t tell that He Dahai, who was usually honest and didn’t dare to say a word, actually dared to stand up and testify against her.
When He Dahai received Su Li’s gaze, he couldn’t help but tremble. However, when he thought of the 100 taels of silver, he immediately straightened his back. He pointed at Su Li and said, “Hurry up and hand over that fugitive.
Otherwise, I’ll drag you all to be beheaded later.”
Su Li blinked innocently and said, “Fugitive? What fugitive? I don’t understand what you’re saying at all!”
He Dahai said excitedly, “Don’t play dumb. I clearly saw you carry an injured person down from the mountain.”
Su Li spread her hands innocently. “You’re making me confused. Where did this injured person come from? Are you still dreaming?”
Cui Dongsheng ignored Su Li and walked into the courtyard with his men. He first glanced at the small courtyard. Although this courtyard was a little dilapidated, it was clean. There were also some unknown things hanging in the sun.
Cui Dongsheng retracted his gaze and ordered, “Search every corner.” “Yes!” The group of people immediately dispersed.
When Su Li saw this, she immediately shouted, “What are you doing? Don’t break my things. If you break them, you have to compensate me.”
He Dahai made sarcastic remarks at the side. “Compensate you? They’ll drag your family out and behead them later.”
Su Li glanced at Riceball’s bowl. There was still water in it that it had not
finished in the morning. She quickly walked over, picked up Riceball’s bowl,
and splashed it at He Dahai’s face.
He Dahai did not expect Su Li to do this. Before he could dodge, he was splashed by her.
Cui Dongsheng glanced at Su Li. He did not expect this woman to be so unforgiving with her words and actions.
Su Li placed her hands on her hips and said, “I’ll let you spout sh*t. Today, I’ll wash your brain and wake you up.”
The straw hut was not big, and the search was finished in a short while.
“Boss, there’s nothing!”
Su Li shook her head. “Everyone in the village likes to ignore us. I didn’t even see a ghost, let alone a human. Didn’t you search them just now?”
Cui Dongsheng thought about it and agreed. This place was not big, and there was no place to hide people. If there was anything, it would have been found long ago.
When He Dahai saw this, he quickly said, “Sir, don’t be fooled by her. She’s very cunning!”
Su Li looked at He Dahai and said coldly, “You can’t pin everything on me just because of our personal grudge. If there’s no evidence, don’t spout nonsense.”
He Dahai said, “I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?”
Su Li sneered. “You said you saw it, so you saw it? I even said that I saw you carry an injured person home!”
He Dahai continued, “You even asked the dog to send a letter to He Yufeng. I saw the contents of the letter.’
Su Li giggled. “Even a dog can send letters? Why didn’t you say that you saw a dog speak!”
He Dahai wanted to continue explaining, “Officer…”
Slap!
Cui Dongsheng slapped He Dahai.
He Dahai covered his mouth and looked confused.
Cui Dongsheng warned, “I don’t want to listen to your nonsense, and I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. If you dare to trick us, you won’t be able to escape.”
Su Li was watching the show from the side. When she saw He Dahai’s swollen face, she wished she could clap and cheer.
She asked herself if she treated Chen Xiang’s family well, and she thought she did. She did not expect them to be the first to betray her. If Yao Jun had not come over in time to remind them just now, they would have really fallen this time.
There were so many people on the other side. They could not defeat them or escape.. They could only accept their fate!
