Chapter 1850: Chapter 1850: Got the Information
But now it’s different. Third Lu’s words ignited hope in the Boss Lady’s heart.
The county office has a new county magistrate, and there’s also a new Wen’an County Lord. She’s heard quite a few good things about the Wen’an County Lord recently. Maybe they can really save that lad.
Thinking of this, the Boss Lady swallowed and quickly said, “The staff member is called Zhou Tiedong, lives in Tuqiao Village, about your height, just turned twenty after the new year. He told me he planned to marry the girl from his hometown this year, but before the new year came, he got into this mess; really unlucky, huh.”
Third Lu nodded, indicating he understood.
The Boss Lady quickly asked, “Can you really get him out? His parents used all their savings to pensate Chen Bing in order to save him. But Chen Bing still won’t let it go and insists on keeping him locked up.”
“Whether he can be released or not still needs thorough investigation. Although you say he’s innocent, we can’t just rely on your word, right? Once it’s investigated clearly, those who should be released will be, and those who should be captured will be.” Third Lu said with an air of authority.
The Boss Lady nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, that’s the reasoning.”
Having gotten the information, Third Lu was about to leave.
However, after taking two steps, he stopped, looked at the Boss Lady, and pointed towards the direction next door, “Your yard connects with theirs, right? Can you hear what they’re saying over there?”
The Boss Lady instantly got the hint and whispered, “Yes, if you want to know what’s going on over there, I can take you to the backyard. They’re definitely still arguing right now, louder than usual, you’ll hear clearly.”
Third Lu chuckled, “Lead the way.”
The two gossip-loving souls headed one after another into the cloth shop’s backyard. The Boss Lady was indeed right; as soon as they entered, the angry scolding from next door was audible to them.
The Boss Lady pointed to a tree in the yard, “I’ll get you a ladder, you can climb that tree, and with the branches blocking, they won’t see you, but you can clearly see everything next door.”
“What ladder? No need, I can climb up myself.”
Third Lu said, tucked his robe up, grasped the tree trunk with both hands, and swiftly climbed up.
The Boss Lady, “…” This speed and these moves are too slick!
Third Lu quickly found a fortable position, leaned against the tree trunk, and watched the motion next door with great interest.
Shu Yu and the others were waiting in the carriage for a long while, but he never came out of the cloth shop, and it was really hard to bear.
The old lady listlessly said, “What’s taking so long with Sanzhu, just gathering that staff member’s name, does it need this long? It’s been two full quarter-hours.”
Shu Yu also found it strange, “It shouldn’t be, for Third Uncle, getting gossip like this is a piece of cake, shouldn’t take more than half a cup of tea.”
“Could something have happened?”
Shu Yu shook her head, “If something did happen, Third Uncle would definitely shout, he’d have no problem getting out of there.”
She thought about it and decided to send Ying Dong to have a look.
However, before Ying Dong got off the carriage, they saw Third Lu with a bright face, like a teenager, hurriedly running over.
The old lady said irritably, “You finally came back, we thought something happened to you. Well, did you get the person’s name?”
“I got the name, and not only that, I also know the result of that farce from earlier.”
