After hearing this idea from Chen Daqiang. Chen Ermao on the ground became excited, at least he didn't have to go to the county government to suffer.
But Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "No, we can't tolerate his problems. Hong Yu was tied up today, so let's use Chen Ermao to change him. If someone else is tied up tomorrow, who will be used to change him?"
Chen Xiaobei is right. If you want to solve this problem once and for all, you must go through formal channels.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Chen Daqiang did not dare to say any more. He was afraid that if he continued talking, he would miss some loopholes.
Chen Xiaobei greeted Chen Xiaobo, and Chen Xiaowen went with him to the county government office, leaving everyone else behind in the village.
Chen Xiaobei hitched the donkey cart, threw the rice dumpling-like Chen Ermao up, and started running towards the county government office.
Although Chen Xiaobei looked calm, he was making nervous calculations in his heart.
He probably had some impression of the bandits in Centipede Ridge. They usually did things to rob the rich and give to the poor, but never harassed the people.
This time he was targeting himself, and it had something to do with Chen Yutian and his wife. Now that Chen Ermao has also been arrested, the three of them must be reunited in prison and have a good reflection.
But how should I rescue Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer?
It would be difficult to deal with this group of bandits if they turned against him. After all, he personally sent Yang Dazhi to the county government.
As for the one who was sent by the head of the village later, he would probably have to bear the blame himself.
After thinking about it, he felt a little dizzy.
At this moment, he moved his arm unintentionally and touched something in his arms.
This is the waist card given by Liu Rumei.
Yes, Liu Rumei.
Doesn’t the Liu family have great influence in the county?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei became excited, and the matter finally saw the dawn of resolution.
When he came to the county government office and saw He Laoqi, Chen Xiaobei briefly explained the situation.
Of course, he only said that Chen Ermao went to his house to steal, but did not tell the story about Chen Ermao leading the bandits from Centipede Ridge to kidnap Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer.
The reason was that Chen Xiaobei didn't want to make this matter a big deal.
After listening to his story, He Laoqi chuckled and said, "Brother, don't worry, as long as he enters my prison, I will have to let him shed his skin even if he doesn't die."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood what this meant, and quickly took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into He Laoqi's hand, "In that case, it's all for your own use, brother He."
After leaving the county government office, Chen Xiaobei found a noodle shop, ordered two bowls of noodles, and asked Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaobo to eat there while he hurried to Liu Zhai.
Arriving at the door of Liu's house, Chen Xiaobei hugged the guard and asked, "Is Miss Liu at home?"
The guard looked at Chen Xiaobei and saw his shabby appearance. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and his mouth naturally became very cold, "Miss Liu has gone out, why don't you come back another day."
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to walk a few steps to the side, find a corner and squat down, trying to catch his breath.
At this time, the guard waved to him again, "You go far away."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei understood that he looked shabby. Looking down on herself, maybe Liu Rumei didn't go out at all.
Thinking of this, he became a little anxious and took out the badge from his arms, "Brother, I really have something urgent to see Miss Liu, please let me know!"
The guard still stiffened his neck and shook his head and said, "As I told you just now, the lady is out. It's useless even if you have a badge. You'd better come back another day!"
Okay, maybe he really went out.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but sigh, God won't help me.
"Well, when Miss Liu comes back, please tell her that my name is Chen Xiaobei, and I would like to ask Miss Liu to go to Centipede Ridge to help save people."
"It's easy to talk, I know." The guard waved his hand impatiently.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei walking away, the other person couldn't help but said, "Brother Zhao, why didn't you inform him!"
The man spat fiercely on the ground, "Look at how shabby he looks. He still wants to see Miss Liu. I can't tell where he picked up the badge."
While they were talking here, they heard the sound of footsteps, and the maid Xiaoqing walked out, "What did Zhao Laoer say?"
Zhao Laoer quickly laughed and said, "Nothing, nothing. Just now a beggar said he wanted to see the lady, but I sent him away."
"Oh, who wants to see me?" After saying this, Liu Rumei slowly walked out.
Seeing Liu Rumei, Zhao Laoer smiled even brighter, "Miss, he is a beggar. How do you know such a thing? He must be here to swindle."
"Oh, yes, he said his name is Chen Xiaobei, but in our county, there is no such name as the Chen family."
Upon hearing about Chen Xiaobei, Liu Rumei's face turned cold, "What? Chen Xiaobei? Where are the others?"
Zhao Laoer still had a smile on his face, "Miss, he left, and he said he would come back another day!"
Liu Rumei frowned, "Did he say there was something wrong?"
Zhao Laoer hesitated for a moment, shaking his head like a rattle, "No, no, I said you were not at home, and he left."
Seeing Zhao Laoer opening his eyes and telling lies, the man opposite him hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped speaking and held back.
But how could his performance escape Liu Rumei's eyes?
"Okay, I understand." Liu Rumei turned around and walked into the yard, waving to this man, "Come here and help me run an errand."
Liu Rumei kept walking forward, and stopped when she was ten feet away. She turned to look at the person following her, "Ma Xiaoyi, let me ask you what happened when Chen Xiaobei came here just now?"
Ma Xiaoyi clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Then Chen Xiaobei asked you to go to Centipede Ridge to rescue people. It seems very urgent, but Brother Zhao is blocking him, so I can't say much."
A chill flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes, which was a strong murderous intent. "Okay, I understand. You can go back and rest. You don't have to be on duty today."
This look was so frightening that Ma Xiaoyi couldn't help but tremble in his calves.
Liu Rumei put her little finger into her mouth. A sharp whistle sounded.
After a few snaps of his fingers, Butler Liu rushed out and came to Liu Rumei.
"The thief may be Zhao Laoer at the door."
Upon hearing this, Butler Liu looked surprised, "Zhao Laoer has been following you for many years, he..."
Liu Rumei sighed, "Lock him up first and then talk about it. Besides, you have to do something urgent for me."
Butler Liu bowed and said, "Miss, please give me your instructions."
"Take a few people to Centipede Ridge. Chen Xiaobei seems to be in a bit of trouble."
Upon hearing this, Butler Liu showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
"Before we came, the master gave repeated orders not to interfere in local affairs."
Liu Rumei's face was still gloomy, "We don't mean to intervene, we are just helping Chen Xiaobei."
"But because of Liu Tie's injury, the master is already dissatisfied with you. If this matter comes to the ears of the master again, I'm afraid you will be replaced by the second young master." Butler Liu looked solemn, "But, miss, you Can we really be sure that the thief is Zhao Laoer? What if?"
