    Chapter 117

    This is a bearded man, fat and rich, "Of course, we have gems, more beautiful and bigger than this."

    Who is Mu Wanqing, she didn't even blink her eyes, "It's hard to be kind, so I'll accept it."

    Not only did she accept it, but she also picked up the ruby ​​and looked at it carefully, "The luster of this gem is not enough, it's not a first-class good thing, it's okay to use it as a reward."

    Bearded man: ... this is too unbelievable.

    He was silent for a while, then said with a smile, "Miss's eyesight is really good. I have a box of good gems in my hand, which is most suitable for dowry. For the sake of Miss's beauty, I can sell it half for free."

    Mu Wanqing played with the ruby, "Let's take a look."

    The bearded man said with a big smile, "How can you carry such a precious thing with you, and ask the lady to move to the inn where I live..."

    Before he could finish speaking, Mu Wanqing waved her hand, "I'm tired, so I won't go."

    Bearded man: ... This is not going according to the card, how can he take it?

    "Do you have any scruples, miss? I'm an honest businessman, and I'm not deceived."

    Others helped one after another, "I can testify for him that he is indeed an honest businessman."

    "I bought a box of gems from him last time, and they were all treasures. They were used as dowry for my daughter. She was a big show on the day of her wedding. Her husband's family took her very seriously."

    Mu Wanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, her demeanor was extremely lazy, "You are really a good father, too, the dowry is my parents' worries, what's wrong with me as a girl."

    The people on the other side were stunned and forgot about it.

    Everyone looked at Guo Er opposite Mu Wanqing, Guo Er did not look like an elder, and his temperament and appearance were completely different.

    The bearded man bowed his hands and said embarrassedly, "Miss is right, I was not thinking well, please forgive me."

    Normal people would be polite, but Mu Wanqing said, "For the sake of this ruby, I don't care about you as much."

    The bearded man choked, he was just being polite, did she take it seriously? A bit of a fire.

    "I don't know where the lady lives. I want to visit."

    Mu Wanqing called out her name with a smile, "Yuelai Inn."

    The bearded man just left, and the others went downstairs one after another.

    Guo Er, who was watching on the sidelines, frowned, "Why do I think something is wrong with them? It looks like a group, maybe it's a fairy dance."

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly. It was originally a game, but she didn't know whether they were random or deliberately eyeing her.

    "I messed up their plans, let's see what they sing next."

    She drank tea and ate snacks slowly, and chatted with the diners. She has always been clichéd, as long as she wants to, she can coax people out of her heart, and the atmosphere is very lively for a while.

    "The girl is missing?" Mu Wanqing's voice rose a few times.

    "Isn't it? We've been together more than once recently, girl, be careful when you go in and out."

    Mu Wanqing's face sank.

    It was getting late, and Mu Wanqing had already received enough information to stand up and go downstairs to check out.

    The group had just walked out of the restaurant when a few officials appeared out of nowhere to block their way.

    "We are officials. Someone reported that you stole someone else's family heirloom. Come with us."

    The maids screamed in fright, and passers-by looked over and said, oh, it's an official messenger, then it's all right.

    Guo Er was a little nervous, and subconsciously protected Mu Wanqing.

    Mu Wanqing calmly glanced at the tail behind her, um, she followed.

    "Which yamen are you from?"

    The official messenger was arrogant, "If you talk nonsense with them, you will be taken away."

    The other party picked up the shackles and put them on Mu Wanqing's body. A trace of anger flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes, and she turned slightly to avoid it.

    "Don't, I'll go with you."

    Guo Er blocked it with his hand and shouted, "We are obedient, obedient."

    Seeing that they were obedient, the official shouted triumphantly. "Walk."

    Mu Wanqing turned around and shook her fingers behind her back.

    The official took them round and round, and finally stopped in a deserted alley.

    "Take out all your belongings." He pointed at Mu Wanqing and the maids beside her, "Take off all the jewelry and jade pendants."

    Mu Wanqing's jewelry is all fine, and the jade pendant around her waist is the best Hetian jade, with a warm and delicate luster.

    He pointed at Guo Er again, "You, take off all the rings, take out all the silver bills and all the money, get to know each other, don't force us to do it ourselves."

    Guo Erqi's mouth was crooked, and he was robbed in broad daylight. This is a fake. "Officer, what do you mean? Didn't you go to the yamen? Let's go."

    A cold voice sounded, "My things are not so easy to handle."

    It was the bearded man just now, and he had a few companions beside him, all of whom were beating drums.

    Mu Wanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's you."

    The bearded man suffered a secret loss and was upset, "If you don't eat a toast, you have to take a penalty drink. He has a good-looking face and doesn't know how to lift up, so he took out all the valuables on his body."

    But to his surprise, Mu Wanqing didn't show any signs of fear, but questioned, "Will we let us go if we take it out? How can I trust you liars?"

    The bearded man fell in love with Mu Wanqing at a glance at the restaurant. He was really good-looking, with an elegant demeanor, very much like a legendary lady.

    However, the man beside her dressed rich and rich, like a nouveau riche.

    He deliberately tested it with rubies. He was a shallow eyelid, and his family background was not much better. It should be a merchant family who came to do business.

    So, he started to get rich.

    Who knows that this girl's brain is different from other people's, and she doesn't take the usual path.

    He couldn't figure it out, so he had to try again.

    "It's good for you to meet me. I fell in love with you, so I won't sell you to Baihualou."

    Wait until he gets tired of playing before selling it.

    Mu Wanqing's eyes narrowed dangerously, "You're so rampant in Ganzhou City, aren't you afraid of being wanted by the government?"

    The bearded man raised his chin with a confident look, "We have someone in the government."

    It seems that they are veterans. They did the case of the girl's disappearance? A trace of disgust flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes, "Is it the He family? Or the Lu family?"

    The bearded man stared at Mu Wanqing, "Why are you asking so much? Have you thought about it? Do you want to serve me alone, or do you want to go to Baihualou?"

    "Papa." Mu Wanqing patted her hands, "Come out."

    Several sturdy men came out from the shadows and surrounded Mu Wanqing in the middle to protect her.

    It was all Du Shaoxuan's secret guard for Mu Wanqing, who had been protecting her in the dark.

    The face of the bearded man and his companions changed greatly, and there was a bad premonition.

    "Who are you? We're official errands, and the idle people are leaving quickly."

    Mu Wanqing coldly ordered, "Take it all."

    The dark guards are all highly skilled in martial arts, and they can control these people with a few tricks.

    The bearded man struggled hysterically, "Our backer is the Lu family, who dares to mess around? I advise you to release people quickly, or you will be at your own risk."

    "The Lu family." Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes, and a thought flashed through her mind, "Let's go, let's smash the Lu family."

    The bearded man was shocked, "Are you crazy? That's the Lu family!"

    It was Iron Fist from the Dark Guard who answered him, beat him into a pig's head, tied them together and dragged them away.

    Such a tragic situation attracted countless people, and they all inquired curiously.

    In a short while, the evil deeds of the bearded man and his party were quickly spread, and they were spurned by the people.

    At this moment, a group of people rushed over and aimed at the bearded man and his companions, which was a fat beating.

    "My daughter is missing. It must be done by your group. Where is she? Get my daughter back."

    "How can you beasts do this? Who is not born by parents, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

    "Return my daughter, return my daughter."

    The bearded man held his head in his hands and denied it hoarsely, "It's not me, stop hitting."

    Mu Wanqing looked at it with a heavy heart. Recently, there have been girls missing from time to time, but the government has never solved the case!

    She managed this matter, and she couldn't believe that she couldn't dig out the clues behind it.

    "Everyone, listen to me, these people's backers are the Lu family. Let's go and ask the Lu family why they harmed their own compatriots so much? How many crazy things have they done? Come, let's go together."

    Since the water is so deep, just make the water more muddy and see who will jump out.

    Everyone's anger was completely ignited, "Let's go together."

    Along the way, more and more people gathered together, forming a vast ocean.

    By the time they arrived at the Lu family, the Lu family had already heard the news, and had long been waiting for them, with a group of family members guarding the door.

    It was the second master of the Lu family who came forward. Facing the dark crowd, his expression changed a bit.

    If this matter is not handled well, it will provoke civil unrest.

    He bowed his hands to everyone, and his attitude was very gentle.

    "Fellow folks, don't believe in the provocation of people with intentions. Our Lu family is upright and won't do dirty things."

    He patted his chest to ensure that his family was innocent and clean, and pointed the contradiction to others, "Some people dislike our Lu family and deliberately pick things up. Don't be fooled..."

    Mu Wanqing sized him up a few times, her words were different, but she wasn't very sincere. "You don't mean me, do you?"

    Master Lu gave her a cold look, "I don't talk to women."

    It was this woman who took the lead in messing with their Lu family! really don't know how to live or die.

    Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "Is it because I'm afraid that it's too ugly to lose, and that even if you win, you won't be able to win, will you be laughed at?"

    Her words were in the mind of the second master Lu, and he warned with a serious look, "This girl, I don't know who you are, but I want to tell you that our Lu family is not something that some conspirators can shake."

    Mu Wanqing was accusing Mu Wanqing of malicious intentions inside and out, but Mu Wanqing was unmoved and pointed at the bearded man and his party, "You don't know these people? They confessed that they belonged to your Lu family."

    A murderous look flashed in Mr. Lu's eyes, and he categorically denied it, "I don't know. It's ridiculous to believe what this kind of person says."

    The bearded man and his companions were beaten horribly, but no one sympathized with them.

    They looked at the second master Lu eagerly, "Second master, save us."

    The second master Lu was furious, "Shut up, you don't want to throw dirty water on our Lu family, you should be punished if you do something wrong, and the government will make corresponding judgments based on your crimes. Guarantee, we will supervise the relevant departments to deal with it, so please go back."

    The people stood still, all looking at Mu Wanqing.

    Second Master Lu gritted his teeth secretly, "Miss, if you leave me now, just pretend that nothing happened, and I promise not to hold you accountable."

    Mu Wanqing looked at him fixedly, "How did I hear that the Lu family buys a batch of maid rings every year, but they don't see any of them being sold? Many girls."

    "Then the question is, where did the extra maid go? Or should I ask, is she still alive?"

    Second Master Lu flushed with anger and shouted loudly, "Being presumptuous, with just these few words from you, I can arrest you and go to jail."

    Mu Wanqing wasn't frightened, so she asked coldly, "Are you going to put me on a charge?"

    "Framed a court official." Master Lu waved his hand to the limit, "Come here, take this woman down."

    The servants of the Lu family rushed towards Mu Wanqing like wolves and tigers, and the dark guards guarded in front of Mu Wanqing, and the situation was about to explode.

    At this moment, a horse came at a gallop, "Stop."

    Master Lu was stunned for a moment, "Miss, why are you here?"

    Ji Chengfei dismounted and bowed to Mu Wanqing, "Qingping Township Lord, please forgive me for being late."

    She rushed over as soon as she received the news, but fortunately, she still had time.

    Master Lu looked at Mu Wanqing in disbelief.

    The crowd was even more excited and buzzing. "What? Lord of Qingping Township?"

    "It turned out to be the village owner, no wonder it is so good, for the sake of our people, unlike those dog officials who know to oppress us."

    "Oh my god, it's actually the owner of Qingping Township. Our whole family likes her so much, ah ah ah, I'm going to ask my parents to come and see."

    Mu Wanqing stood with her hands behind her back, "Miss Ji, your Ganzhou city is too chaotic, it's time to rectify it severely."

    Her tone was indifferent, but there was an awe-inspiring aura.

    Ji Cheng smiled wryly, the Lu family was a local tycoon, and after decades of operation, her father couldn't do anything about them, so he had to bring out He Qianhu to sing against them.

    The imperial power is not subordinate to the county, and even the decree issued by the emperor himself cannot reach every place. There is also a saying that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away.

    Kings are like this, not to mention others.

    Mu Wanqing didn't have so many scruples, she would solve the problem when she encountered it, and if it couldn't be done, she would completely overthrow it and start over.

    "The prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people, whether it is the He family or the Lu family. If you violate the law, you should be severely punished and must not be tolerated. This is the city of Ganzhou and the first barrier of Daqi. If it is corrupted here, I will not Dare to imagine how to hold this city."

    She threw a sound, Ji Cheng was shocked, "Qingping Township Lord, you don't know, the water in this city of Ganzhou is very deep, and there are many forces..."

    The forces of various countries have buried nails in Ganzhou City, and the situation is complicated.

    Mu Wanqing was not qualified to be in charge before, and her name was not right, but now her status is different, and she has to be in charge.

    "Since I'm a township owner proclaimed by the emperor, I have to take care of this kind of thing, otherwise I'm sorry for the emperor's love for me, I'm sorry for the people at the border, and I'm sorry for my conscience."

    "The people of Ganzhou, please forgive me for meddling in my own business today. I will be here with you in the public trial. These wicked people who have committed serious crimes will be publicly tried. Please help me."

    It could be said that the case of the girl's disappearance touched Mu Wanqing's bottom line.

    Mr. Lu Er was stunned by her behavior, "Qingping Township Lord, you are not an official, and you are not qualified to hear the case."

    "It is everyone's responsibility to clean up the poison." Mu Wanqing pointed to herself and said righteously, "I will shoulder all the responsibilities. I only want justice, and I just want to give justice to the people."

    "Fathers and fellow villagers, are you willing to be bullied all your life? Are you willing to be killed by the children you raised with great difficulty?"

    These words deeply touched the weakness of the people, and we couldn't help weeping, "Hometown Lord, we listen to you, please be the master for us."

    "Hometown Lord, we believe in you."
