Chapter 182 Madam Wan, who has no martial arts skills
"So how have you dealt with him now?"
Luoluo said, "Linglong has always hated traitors the most, so naturally she locked him up and tortured him. He's still alive, but I'm afraid he can't speak clearly anymore."
"Did you ask anything?"
"It is said that there is none."
Now that Ni Ya and her group have moved, it is difficult to guess where she is and where Gong Chang is.
The most important thing is who are the people in the palace who are in the same group with them, which is also a difficult problem.
Gong Chang will definitely not reveal his flaws easily. Bai Sui'an can only follow the clues until others find him, force him into a corner, and then see if there is any breakthrough.
As expected, I still have to go to Zuihonglou to ask if there are any clues.
After applying medicine to the green ivy, the two waited for a long time but Yan Liu didn't come back. They were afraid that Bai Sui'an couldn't wait any longer.
Luoluo suggested: "Why don't we go wait outside the government office?"
"also."
Bai Suian carried the silver on his back and went to Feiyun Department Store to exchange it for banknotes with Cheng Xu.
He and Zhuying were both sitting outside, and when Bai Sui'an came back, he told them about the situation.
If she comes back late, she will ask Cheng Xu to tell Ye Lingche to take the child home first.
When Zhuying heard Bai Sui'an say that she was going to the yamen, she volunteered to go with her.
If anything really happens in the yamen, Zhuying will help.
There was a lot of silver, and Cheng Xu couldn't prepare the banknotes too quickly, so he let them go first.
Seeing the extra candlelight, Luluo felt a little uncomfortable: "Sister Yanliu just went to take down the list, how could there be any trouble?"
Bai Sui'an explained: "You can't say that. There will always be unexpected people who will come out to make things difficult for others. He came here just to be prepared."
Zhu Ying said arrogantly, "It's mainly because I can't bear to see my sister-in-law being wronged. I'll take care of everything for you guys later."
"I can also help the gentleman, cough, and the young lady!" said Luoluo.
There were a lot of people gathered outside the yamen. Unlike before, the onlookers were not limited to the list, but were all looking inside the yamen.
Bai Sui'an casually patted an aunt on the shoulder and asked, "Aunt, what happened in the government office? Why are there so many people gathered here watching?"
Perhaps because Bai Sui'an looked kind, the aunt said, "Mr. Wan's family is making a scene inside. They say the government has mistakenly arrested his wife."
Bai Sui'an's eyes widened. "How did they catch her? Couldn't those people recognize Madam Wan?"
My aunt waved her hands and said, "That's right, it's not that easy to make a mistake. The people inside explained that when they arrested her, she was covered up tightly with a mask, and it was only when she was brought to the government office that they realized it was Madam Wan!"
"What do the government officials say?"
"That leading young lady's argument is well-founded. They're arresting the group of people who are leading the interception of the goods. Madam Wan is the ringleader. Now the government has summoned Mr. Wan, but they're still holding off on paying the money!"
The aunt was furious. "I thought things had really gotten better after the new county magistrate, but I didn't expect the powerful and wealthy would still oppress us ordinary people!"
Bai Sui'an calmed down his aunt and said comfortingly, "It will get better. Someone will definitely come and treat these people."
"Well, I hope so."
On the other side, Zhuying and Luoluo also squeezed to the front to see the situation, and now came to meet up with Bai Sui'an.
"I saw that the person leading the argument with the county magistrate was my sister." Luoluo said.
Zhuying took the lead and pushed forward, and the other two followed.
When they squeezed to the front, some people tried to stop them. Zhuying took out a token and held it in front of them. He didn't care whether those people could see it clearly or not. They took advantage of the other party's distraction and went in.
"Who is it? You came in without even announcing anything!"
The three men's clothes were not as expensive as Wan Yuanwai's, so Wan Yuanwai took out his anger on them.
"What are you doing? Why don't you kick them out?"
The people in the yamen hesitated and did not dare to step forward until the county magistrate gave the order.
The old county magistrate squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, and only recognized the person when the candlelight came closer.
He quickly waved his hands: "Hey! Come on, move a chair next to me!"
Seeing two people behind the candle shadow, the county magistrate asked, "Who are these two?"
Zhuying took a step back to Bai Sui'an's side and said, "This is my master."
He didn't need to state Bai Sui'an's identity explicitly. As long as the county magistrate knew him, he would give Bai Sui'an face.
Sure enough, when the county magistrate heard that Zhuying was working for Bai Sui'an, he immediately stood up and gave him his seat.
"Madam, please take a seat."
The county magistrate's attitude also let everyone know the identity of Bai Sui'an and his group. Wan Yuanwai, who had just wanted to vent his anger on the three of them, suddenly blushed.
"Well, you arrested my wife, give me an explanation quickly!" Wan Yuanwai urged.
The county magistrate ignored him and waited for Bai Sui'an to take his position with a silly smile.
"No need, sir, you judge the case. I won't take your seat. I just came by to take a look. We'll just sit next to you." Bai Sui'an was very amiable.
She just took a quick look around and found that there were quite a few people here.
Yan Liu's arm was injured and her body was covered in blood, but she looked quite energetic. There were two big men sitting next to her with knife wounds, their faces were pale.
There are five tied people in the middle. The woman in the lead has been untied. Based on Mr. Wan's eyes, it can be determined that the person is Madam Wan.
There were two other men beside Mr. Wan. One of them was Wan Chen, whom Bai Sui'an knew. He didn't look at Bai Sui'an and had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't know anyone.
The other one looks more like Madam Wan, and should be Wan Chen’s half-brother.
Someone brought chairs and Bai Sui'an and the other two sat down.
Bai Sui'an pointed at the two people beside Yan Liu and asked casually, "Those three are so badly injured, why didn't you let them see a doctor first?"
The county magistrate nodded and said, "Madam is right. Come, take those three people down to see the doctor first."
"The matter isn't settled yet, and you still want to leave?" Mr. Wan stepped forward to stop him.
Yan Liu took two steps forward and stood in front of Wan Yuanwai, saying, "Yes, the matter is not settled yet. They went to see a doctor. I will stay here and argue with you!"
At the beginning, she produced evidence, saying that Madam Wan was the mastermind behind the robbery, and that the people around her and the officers who helped escort her could testify.
Only Wan Yuanwai insisted that his wife had no martial arts skills and was frail, and that everything was a frame-up against his family by people from the government.
Bai Sui'an's gaze fell on Madam Wan's face.
Mrs. Wan didn't dare to look up at her from beginning to end, even when the county magistrate asked her questions, she didn't dare to look up.
Bai Sui'an quietly went to ask Luoluo if she knew Madam Wan.
Luoluo shook her head and whispered back, "My sister and I know about the same people. If she really knew this Madam Wan, she would have winked at me when she came in."
Right.
But Bai Sui'an felt that Madam Wan was always keeping an eye on her.
No one dared to look over, so why would they pay attention to her?
Bai Suian held his face with his hands, watching all this as an outsider.
It had reached this point before she came, and there had been no progress since she arrived.
Yan Liu said that all the people accompanying her were seriously injured by Madam Wan, and until now, there is no proof that Madam Wan knows martial arts.
And judging from Mr. Wan's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying when he said that Madam Wan didn't know martial arts.
