Chapter 266: One Move in Chess

"Don't worry, Auntie, it won't matter if this yard is sold. I have arranged errands for you at the ranch. From now on, you can just live there every day. Zhao Xiaoshan happens to be here too, so you mother and son can still be companions." Li Qingyou smiled and reassured. Little mountain girl.

Xiaoshan Niang was still uneasy, "How can I sell my old house at any time? You are not short of these few dollars, anyway..."

At any rate, it was left behind by the old couple of the Li family, so it was just a thought.

"The house will become useless if no one lives in it for a long time. If it is not renovated in a few years, it will be even worse if it collapses." Li Qingyou smiled.

Xiaoshan Niang thought about the same thing. There was no man in the family, and there was no one to support her family. If the two sisters got married, the house would be empty.

Because Li Qingyou didn't publicize his brother's gender change, Xiaoshan Niang didn't know about it and thought he was a little girl.

There is nothing to worry about with this small amount of property at home. The real big deal is in the ranch. In addition to the money that has been realized, she still holds 30% of everything in the ranch.

She plans to sell these shares to the Shen family. Who will make the Shen family rich?

Calculating the time, Mr. Shen has been coming every three months in the past few years, which is basically at the beginning of the month, and he will be here in five or six days.

That guy was a fox-like person, and he probably wouldn't be easy to talk to. The price was definitely lowered, so Li Qingyou decided to give her the hot potato shares even if he gave her half the price.

Everything was ready, all it took was the east wind. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. Just after Li Qingyou left, she planned to buy a house in Liangzhou Mansion, so that her brother would no longer have to live in the mansion of the Mansion School. At that time, a pair of officers and soldiers broke in through the door.

"Arrest everyone." The leader was wearing an official uniform. Li Qingyou couldn't tell what rank he was, but he could tell that the patches on the other party's court uniform were much more gorgeous than those of Magistrate Xu.

The officers and soldiers who arrived were as powerful as tigers. Without saying a word, they surrounded the ranch and escorted all the hired workers away.

Li Qingyou tried his best to calm down and looked directly into the other person's eyes, "What are you trying to do? Do you know whose business this is?"

"Whose business does it matter?" The official opposite, who was about forty years old and had a small black beard, smiled coldly, "I came here on the order of the emperor to take everyone into custody."

He waved his hand behind him and said, "Why are you standing there in such a daze? Why don't you just tie someone up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several officials came up and held Li Qingyou down without saying a word.

Since there were too many people in the ranch, thousands of them, the county government prison could not hold so many people. The escorting officers and soldiers left most of the people in the ranch and sent a pair of officers and soldiers to guard the ranch, while the remaining officers and soldiers above the supervisor level were sent to the ranch. They were all escorted to the county government prison.

In the prison, Li Qingyou saw Magistrate Xu, Mrs. Xu and their children. Their cell was opposite Li Qingyou.

In addition, Guanshi Cao, Patriarch Li and others are also there, and they are locked up with Li Qingyou.

The cells in the county government office are simple and crude, and several cells are full of people.

Except for Magistrate Xu, all the others were ordinary people who had never seen the world. They were all in tears when they suddenly suffered such an unreasonable disaster. Some people even became incontinent. There was a strong stench in the already strong-smelling cell. The smell is disgusting.

People express themselves in various ways when they encounter fear, some cry and some curse. Many people scolded Li Qingyou for being a deceiver, saying that they were deceived by Li Qingyou into working in the ranch. Only then did he fall to this point.

At this time, people have long forgotten that they were the ones who took the initiative to dig out doors and steal holes in order to come to work, and they have also forgotten how grateful they were when they received their wages.

Li Qingyou didn't say a word about this, and she didn't argue with anyone. What they said was not wrong, and she had no intention of arguing at the moment.

After all calculations, it was just one move away from her. It was only because she was greedy and wanted more. It wouldn't have been the case if she had withdrawn earlier.

Like Li Qingyou, there is another person who neither cries nor makes trouble, County Magistrate Xu.

As an official of the imperial court, Magistrate Xu is far more aware of the risks behind this than these ignorant civilians. This crying and fussing will not help except making himself more embarrassed. It is useless to blame everyone at this point. If you have the energy, you might as well think about it.

Is there any way to escape?

When it comes to escape plans, Magistrate Xu is a bare-bones commander. To put it bluntly, there is no one above him. There are several former classmates who are similar to him, or even worse than him, so he can only place his hope on others.

His eyes fell on Li Qingyou in the cell opposite.

"Miss Li, I didn't expect that you and I would meet here. It's fate." Magistrate Xu greeted Li Qingyou across the aisle, and at the same time looked at her expression through the faint light.

"Master Xu is joking." Li Qingyou smiled, "Sir, you can still enjoy the treatment of a single room. Unfortunately, we have to make do with a group of people."

I was still in the mood to laugh and joke at this moment. It seemed that the problem was not too bad. Magistrate Xu felt calm in his heart.

There was a jailer guarding the door. Magistrate Xu did not dare to be too blatant and could only make insinuations. "Looking at Miss Li, she looks like a wandering cloud and a wild crane. She must be confident and will be able to break free soon?"

What County Magistrate Xu said was not profound, mainly because he also considered that Li Qingyou probably had little knowledge, and what he said was too obscure for fear that she would not understand.

"Sir, you are joking." Li Qingyou couldn't help but chuckle, "As the saying goes, there must be a road to the mountain before the car, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. Since we have a clear conscience, I believe the court will give us a fair decision."

The words were quite open, but Li Qingyou didn't have any confidence in her heart. If it were that easy, they wouldn't stay here.

But it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know. She has to let Magistrate Xu know that he changed the gender of Adihu’s label. Although her specious words were intended to mislead him, if this matter is leaked to Princess Ye

That younger brother Ye Qin...

The thing that Li Qingyou regrets the most now is that he sent his brother to a private school. If he had known earlier, he should have sent him farther away.

At the same time, I was thinking about whether people who were familiar with Adi, such as Liu Xiaosan and Zhao Xiaoshan, would be arrested. If they were lucky enough to escape, I hope they would send a message to Adi for the sake of following her.

Tell him to leave quickly and hide as far away as possible.

County Magistrate Xu was indeed relieved, but he was afraid that Li Qingyou would escape without helping him, so he hurriedly handed over the words and hit her hard with his words.

Li Qingyou understood, "Your Majesty, you are kind to Qingyou, and my wife is Qingyou's sworn sister. The whole family should help each other."

Magistrate Xu was completely relieved.
