Chapter 381 - 381 382 Pretending to be Innocent_1

?Chapter 381: Chapter 382: Pretending to be Innocent_1 Chapter 381: Chapter 382: Pretending to be Innocent_1 Lord Lu was furious, having never seen such unreasonable and overbearing behavior before. He slapped the shocking hall wood,” Slandering a court-appointed official—you there! Add another twenty hefty blows!”

Qiao Yuanzhen struggled desperately, but his slight frame was naturally no match for the burly government officers. In a brief moment, they had him subdued and dragged him to the front of the government office, where Shi Xing awaited.

The onlookers, finding the scene quite entertaining, were unwilling to disperse, each one eager to see this disrespectful man receive his beating.

“Tsk tsk, with such a small frame, can he really endure it? But how come the big lord who supposedly slept with him hasn’t shown his face at all? Even if he’s been removed from his position, he ought to show up in the courtroom.”

“You don’t know? That big lord is none other than Mrs. Luo from our Chatu Town—an infamous land viper. Just yesterday, he was betrayed by his own subordinates. They divided up his wealth and ran off, leaving nothing behind. Luo Mansion is now just an empty shell without a thing left overnight. As for Mrs. Luo, his whereabouts are unknown, who knows where he’s hiding.”

In a nondescript corner by the wall, a fat man disguised with straw was shivering. After Qiao Muniang and Yu Ze left the previous day, his subordinates had plundered all his wealth. Hearing that Qiao Yuanzhen had been arrested by the government office, he knew he had to hide since he would undoubtedly be next. So, he hurried out, penniless and with serious injuries, not knowing where to run, he could only beg on the streets.

This case, which had caused a stir in all of Chatu Town, had remarkably not implicated Muniang in the slightest. Yu Ze had planned everything perfectly. He didn’t want Muniang to be the subject of gossip, just like now with Mrs. Luo falling from grace and Qiao Yuanzhen being arrested, everyone only saw the surface and not a single person knew who was really guiding the development of the events.
