Chapter 171 Unscathed
"You guys," Luo Xiaoran raised her chin and said in a light tone, "You can count them as witnesses for now. What about the physical evidence? Where is the physical evidence?"
"Physical evidence? What physical evidence do you want? You knocked us out and took Sun Qingyuan and Du Kongqing away. This is a foregone conclusion!" the bearded man roared.
"Without physical evidence, who knows if you have colluded to slander an innocent person like me?" Luo Xiaoran opened her eyelids and said calmly.
"You!" The bearded man was so angry that his butt didn't hurt anymore. He pointed at Luo Xiaoran and was speechless.
He had never seen someone as cunning and shameless as Luo Xiaoran. No matter what, he must bring Luo Xiaoran, Du Kongqing and Sun Qingyuan back today, otherwise Lord An would not let them go.
Thinking of this, the bearded man also became ruthless, "Brothers, she is just a little girl, we have more people, come with me to capture her, and then find out the whereabouts of Sun Qingyuan and Du Kongqing!"
Luo Xiaoran had already secretly planned to tie up this group of people and then run away with the whole family. At this time, a voice suddenly interrupted:
"stop!"
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man in black, with a thin face and neat manners, walking out of the house. He carefully closed the door, blocking the few people who had been woken up from coming out.
"Uncle Du?" Luo Xiaoran called out uncertainly. Did Du Shimu undergo a drastic transformation while she was asleep?
The dirty clothes were gone, the tangled and dirty beard was gone, and even the hair was combed neatly, revealing his entire face.
Not to mention, Kong Qing looks about 60% like her father.
"Miss Luo," Du Shimu bowed and saluted Luo Xiaoran.
"Uncle Du, what is this doing? Also, just call me Xiao Ran."
Luo Xiaoran quickly dodged to the side. In ancient times, accepting courtesy from someone older than oneself was quite outrageous, unless the person had saved their life.
Du Shimu insisted on bowing and expressing his gratitude to Luo Xiaoran: "I thank you for saving my life on behalf of Qing'er, but why was Qing'er arrested and thrown into prison?"
Luo Xiaoran glanced at the bearded man and others who were staring at him eagerly, and said without hesitation:
"I don't know the whole story. I only know that An Luhai accused Kong Qing'an of instructing Yu Hongmei from Hexi Village to kill An Ruquan.
An Ruquan was the only son of An Luhai, the magistrate of Fuyuan County. About two months ago, An Ruquan was stabbed to death by Yu Hongmei at the gate of the county government office.
Before his death, An Ruquan had harassed Kong Qing many times. Apart from that, the two had no connection. I am sure that An Luhai fabricated the charges and pinned them on Kong Qing.
As for Sun Qingyuan, he had always been at odds with An Ruquan, so it was not surprising that An Luhai fabricated a crime and arrested him."
"So, I understand." Du Shimu pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the bearded man, "I am Du Kongqing's father. I am willing to go with you so that you can give An Luhai an explanation."
"This..." The bearded man hesitated.
Luo Xiaoran was also very puzzled, "Uncle Du, why are you doing this?"
Du Shimu gave Luo Xiaoran a reassuring look, and even had a calm smile on his lips: "I will be fine."
Luo Xiaoran was stunned. If Du Shimu's medical skills had previously made people ignore his beggar-like appearance, then the cleansed Du Shimu became even more mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult for people to understand him for a while.
Du Shimu followed the bearded man and his men, but returned before noon, unharmed.
