After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 97 Embarrassment
that night.

Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He each finished washing and returned to the room.

Speaking of which, they had never actually lived in the same room alone. The first time they met was when they were exiled with the army. When they were on the ship, they also lived in the same room as Mrs. Mutai, so they didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Now, this small herringbone room only contained a table, two chairs and a bed, and it already seemed crowded.

The officials never knew that they were not really a couple, so Wang Xiaoer naturally arranged a room for them.

It was not too late now, and candles were lit on the table. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but they seemed a little embarrassed.

"Madam." Mu Yunxiao sat down at the table, his dark eyes making it difficult to see the emotions clearly. He only stared at Ruan He calmly beside him, his deep voice seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet room.

Ruan He sat stiffly at the table unnaturally. Hearing this very close call, it was as if it was right next to her ear. She didn't know what to say in reply. She just pretended to stare at the beating candle seriously. fire.

The swaying firelight reflected Ruan He's tight lips, as if the two of them could sit here all night without speaking.

These days, Ruan He doesn't even know if she is... his wife.

Her original plan was to go to the place of exile, walk on opposite sides of the road, and live out her own free and unrestrained life. Now that she has arrived, apart from those morons, there are also a few people in this family who truly regard her as family members, but Ruan He didn't know what to do.

In her previous life, she would never have been such an indecisive person, but...

"Madam." Mu Yunxiao stared at her, his eyes never moving even an inch, and his voice paused, as if he wanted to say something.

Just then.

"Knock knock." A knock on the door suddenly rang, immediately breaking the weird atmosphere between the two.

It was just dark now, not too late, so it wasn't surprising that someone was coming.

Mu Yunxiao stood up, looked at Ruan He, then walked over and opened the door.

When the door opened, Li Jiang was standing outside, his brows furrowed, as if he was still worried about something.

"Master Mu, I wonder if it will disturb you?"

"It's okay, come in." Mu Yunxiao nodded slightly and saw that he had something important to discuss, so he greeted him into the room.

"Master Li."

"Mrs. Mu."

Li Jiang and Ruan He looked at each other and greeted each other politely.

"During the day, we discussed and asked the local government to help find the person. But now, I have other concerns."

Li Jiang showed a solemn expression, sighed, and said what he had been struggling with for a long time.

He came here this time to discuss things with the couple.

Li Jiang had long admired these two people and was willing to listen to their opinions.

Before Li Jiang could express his concerns, Mu Yunxiao had already guessed something. He tapped the table with his knuckles and said calmly: "Master Li is worried about the government and the men in black..."

Li Jiang didn't expect him to react so quickly. He was stunned and immediately confirmed his guess.

"Yes, their information is so well-informed that it always makes me suspect that there is a mole inside." "Going to the government is our most effective method at the moment."

They don't have much money at all now, so they can only stay in the inn for one night.

Mu Yunxiao had always been suspicious. Since the man in black came for him, there was no need to fight to the death with these officials. There must be something fishy in this.

During the moment when he was silently thinking, Li Jiang seemed to find it harder to express his decision. He sighed, looked at the two of them and said, "It's getting late, so I can't bother you. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

He also vaguely guessed that the target of this group of men in black was both Mu Yunxiao and their group of official officials, so now they were grasshoppers on a rope, and he needed to think carefully.

……

Li Jiang hesitated all night, and finally decided to go to the county government to seek help from the local government. Anyway, there was a way, otherwise he would not be able to find the prisoner, and he would not be able to escape the blame.

Early the next morning, he informed several officials and Ruan He and his wife of the result after careful consideration.

The officials naturally complied with it, not to mention that they could not disobey the boss's order. Moreover, if they could not find the prisoners, their future life would not be easy.

Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao looked at each other. What they had in mind was probably the same. They were just waiting for Li Jiang's choice, so they nodded silently.

With this agreement, Li Jiang left two official servants to watch over Mu Zhengbai and other prisoners.

After these days of suffering, except for Mu Zhengbai, the other prisoners were all honest and obedient. They knew in their hearts that they could not live without the officers and would not even think of escaping.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoer warned the two officials, and his fierce eyes swept over Mu Zhengbai, who was eating steamed buns, "The main thing is to see him, we will not stop all day long."

The few official servants who were going out all washed themselves up in a serious manner, put on clean and tidy official uniforms, and went out in a swaggering manner.

If he still looked so slovenly, he might not even be able to step through the threshold of the county government office, and he would be kicked out as a beggar.

After they packed up, they rushed directly to the county government office.

It was still an hour's walk from the county government office, and they didn't have the spare money to hire a carriage, so they got up early and walked all the way there.

Ruan He still kept the broken silver, but it was not convenient for her to keep giving out a steady stream of silver. It would always make people suspicious, and everyone was not a fool.

This county town is indeed lively. Looking at the various stalls on the roadside along the way, it is not boring.

At noon in the day.

They arrived at the county government office. The two government officials outside were standing guard with sullen faces and motionless.

Compared to the county town which has a strong urban atmosphere, this county government office is located in the most prosperous place, and every brick and tile exudes solemnity.

Li Jiang paused in his steps, and several officials beside him also stopped. He glanced at the two guarding government officials from a distance. He lowered his voice, looked solemn, and said solemnly: "General Mu and Mu Young Mistress, please wait here."

Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He both had stern looks on their faces and nodded. They both knew Li Jiang's intention for such an arrangement.

If the local government has colluded with the group of men in black, then their direct entry into the county government is tantamount to stepping into the dragon's den and a tiger's den. This is an extremely dangerous decision.

"If...if we don't come out after an hour, General Mu, please report it to the court immediately. I, Li Jiang, bowed my soul and died for this job!"
