Chapter 179 The Two Sides Confrontation
When County Magistrate Zhu came to the study, the housekeeper was already waiting for him.

Seeing him coming in, the steward quickly reported the situation.

"Master, the little thief escaped from the house after he came out of your study, and our people are arresting him outside now."

County magistrate Zhu took a rough look around the study and found that nothing was missing.

It made him feel very strange.

The housekeeper saw Magistrate Zhu's doubts.

He looked at the official documents scattered on the ground and guessed, "Master, do you think he is looking for something?"

The butler's words reminded magistrate Zhu, and his face changed.

Could it be that that person came to look for that thing?
"When someone is caught and brought before me, I will interrogate him myself."

Magistrate Zhu waved his hand seriously to let the housekeeper go out.

After the butler left the room, he closed the door of the study.

He pressed a button on the bookcase behind the seat, and soon a small grid on the bookcase popped open.

Looking at the things inside, Magistrate Zhu heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, things are still there.

In Minyang Alley in Dongcheng.

In the end, the servants of the county magistrate's mansion failed to break into the mansion to search for people.

"Since you are in the county magistrate's mansion, go back and tell your master that it is impossible for the prefect's family members to go to your mansion to steal things."

After saying this, the door slammed, shutting the servants out.

After these servants heard from the other party that the family members of the magistrate lived here, they were frightened and left Minyang Lane in Dongcheng.

They rushed to the mansion to report the situation.

The county magistrate raised his heart just now, he didn't expect that the thief would go to the family in Minyang Lane, Dongcheng City.

"Are you sure the thief fled to his house?"

Magistrate Zhu confirmed again and again in disbelief.

The servants who were chasing Ning Yue looked at each other and then at County Magistrate Zhu.

Nodding with certainty, "There is only that one family nearby. We have been chasing closely behind the thief. When we got near that house, the thief disappeared."

After hearing the servant's detailed report, County Magistrate Zhu waved his hands coldly and told the servants to retreat.

Several servants left the study tremblingly in fright.

The master's face is really scary. Fortunately, they were not punished, otherwise, they would have received dozens of sticks at least.

Magistrate Zhu seemed to smell a conspiracy.

He quickly called the master who followed him to Yonghe County to take office overnight.

"My lord, do you think it might be the magistrate who discovered something?"

The master didn't expect that the situation would be so urgent.

Once the matter is exposed, he and the adults will be beyond redemption.

"It's hard to say, let's destroy those things as soon as possible without leaving a trace."

County magistrate Zhu ordered his master to go to work with a gloomy expression.

The master left in a hurry.

Magistrate Zhu quickly put the letters in the study in the brazier and burned them.

And the house in Minyang Lane, Dongcheng City.

After the servants in Zhu County Magistrate's Mansion left, the housekeeper in charge returned to his room with peace of mind, only to find something on the table in the bright room.

After he picked it up curiously and looked at it, he was shocked.

After he hurriedly reported to the master at home, he sent someone to send the things out of Yonghe County overnight.

The next day.

The sky was bright, and Ning Yue walked out of the room.

She had some activities in a good mood before going to the shop in front.

Yun Qing and Yang Dalang are already busy replenishing the shelves in the store.

Yang Dalang saw Ning Yue coming in through the back door.

The master left in a hurry.

Yun Qing and Yang Dalang are already busy replenishing the shelves in the store.

Yang Dalang saw Ning Yue coming in through the back door.

Hurry up and ask her concerned, "Girl Yue, don't stay in the shop today, go to Beijiao Hot Spring Village for a few days!"

Ning Yue understood that this was Yang Dalang and asked her to hide for a few days.

As the saying goes, a monk who runs away cannot run away from the temple.

Even if she escapes, the shop and Yang Dalang are still there. If the officers and soldiers can't find her, they may close her shop, and Yang Dalang and the others will be taken away and put in jail.

When things come to your door, you can't hide from them. Only by finding a way to solve them is there a way out.

"Uncle Yang, I won't go out. I will stay in the shop with you these few days."

She wants to see how the county magistrate's wife continues to deal with her.

Two hours later, the officers and soldiers came to the door again.

This time they brought the shopkeeper from the grain shop.

"Shopkeeper, did this young lady go to your shop the day before yesterday to buy a cartful of grains to take away?"

The leader of the officers and soldiers asked the shopkeeper of the grain store in front of Ning Yue.

Yang Dalang stood in the shop with a livid face.

Yue girl is really going to be taken away this time.

His hands at his sides clenched into fists.

Yun Qing and Zhou Shi turned pale with fright.

Their store may not be able to keep it this time.

The elderly shopkeeper looked at Ning Yue, and then at the officers and soldiers. He pointed at Ning Yue with trembling fingers and said, "Officer, I don't know this woman."

What the old shopkeeper said made the leaders of the officers and soldiers turn cold.

After hearing what the old shopkeeper said, the other people in the store relaxed a little.

Fortunately, this old man knows how to be sloppy.

"Hmph, old man, take a closer look and see if this girl went to your store to buy food?"

The leading officers and soldiers did not give up and repeatedly confirmed with the old shopkeeper of the grain shop.

The old shopkeeper shook his head firmly, expressing that he had never seen Ning Yue.

The leading officers and soldiers had no choice but to stare at the middle-aged shopkeeper of another family.

"Has she ever bought food from your store?"

Facing the aggressive questioning of the leaders of the officers and soldiers.

The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded and said, "This lady has indeed gone to our shop to buy food."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the leader of the officers and soldiers burst out laughing.

"Now the evidence is solid, come and take her away."

In an instant, the officials behind the leader of the officers and soldiers drew out the big swords around their waists and surrounded Ning Yue one after another.

Zhou Shi was frightened by the scene in front of her and squatted on the ground.

Yang Dalang and Liu Wenbo stood in front of Ning Yue desperately.

For a moment, the sword was drawn and angry.

"You people actually interfered with the government's affairs and took them all away."

The leaders of the officers and soldiers were extremely proud.

This time he can finally do business.

"I did meet this young lady, and she went to our store to buy grain, but she only bought three bags of rice."

The middle-aged man was stunned by the battle in front of him for a while before he could react, and he quickly finished the rest of his words.
