Chapter 349: What a Big Mouth
When Zhang Hui said this, Lu Sheng and the rest looked at him strangely.
“Why? You can’t continue lying?”
Zhang Hui smiled proudly. “Don’t you know your status? You even have a relationship with the magistrate? How shameless.”
It was not like they did not know what happened to the Lu family that He Wan married into.
How could a family that had to be rescued by an outsider know the magistrate?
Lu Sheng suddenly chuckled.
“What are you laughing at?”
Zhang Hui’s wife, Mdm Dong, walked forward and looked at Lu Sheng unhappily.
Lu Sheng ignored her and looked at Zhang Hui and the Zheng family. She said lightly, “I’ll say the same thing again. Show me the evidence and we’ll meet in court. If you can’t, I can only send you to jail.”
Zhang Hui raised his chin disapprovingly. “The evidence is that our Xiaohua had a miscarriage.”
He did not believe that Lu Sheng had the ability to send them to jail.
Who was this girl trying to scare?
“Very well!”
Lu Sheng looked at He Zhang and asked, “Uncle, I remember Constable Wang is from An Mu Village, right?”
Because of Chu Sihan, Lu Sheng and Constable Wang had met a few times. She could vaguely remember that he was from An Mu Village.
“Yes.”
He Zhang nodded. “He happened to be back today.”
Because of Fu Xianyun, He Zhang and Constable Wang had some friendship.
Constable Wang brought a few men back for a drink and specially came over to call him. However, he rejected the invitation as Lu Zhou and the rest were here.
Before Lu Sheng could speak, He Lai said, “I’ll get someone.”
Then, he ran out.
Zhang Hui smiled coldly. “Deliberately mystifying things.”
Although Constable Wang was from An Mu Village, most of them stayed in town and rarely came back. Hence, they did not have much interaction with the villagers.
He did not believe that Constable Wang could be persuaded.
“If you don’t leave now, don’t regret it later.”
He Hu reminded him kindly.
However, Zhang Hui disapproved. He thought that they were just trying to scare them so that they would back off.
He would not fall for their trick.
“We can leave, but compensate us first. We can forget about everything else. You only need to give us a hundred taels so that we can buy ginseng for Xiaohua to nourish her body.”
It should be easy for the He family to fork out a hundred taels now.
“A hundred taels?”
Mdm Xu was so angry that she laughed. “You can’t even get a hundred taels after selling off your mother and sister. What a big mouth.”
Lu Sheng gestured for Mdm Xu not to speak. She walked to Mdm Zhao’s side and stood there, waiting for He Lai to invite Constable Wang over.
The Zheng family felt uneasy.
They kept feeling that this girl was not simple.
Putting everything else aside, just the sight of the two silent young men at the side was enough to make one shiver in fear.
They did not pay much attention to the people around them when they entered just now. Now that they saw them, they felt a chill run down their spines.
However, seeing Zhang Hui’s calm expression, they hesitated.
If they could get a hundred taels, they could get half of it.
Fifty taels was not a small amount. In order for their silly son to get married, they had already spent thirty taels.
Although thirty taels was within their ability, who would mind having more money?
At the thought of money, the anxious hearts of the Zheng family calmed down.
Zhang Hui was still arguing with He Qin, emphasising the word ‘compensation.’
He Qin could not be bothered to speak to him and turned on his silent mode.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps outside the door. Zhang Hui and the Zheng family turned their heads and their expressions changed.
He Lai and Constable Wang walked at the front, followed by four constables.
The constables held their long swords and walked over majestically.
