Chapter 1755: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1755: Tao Qin Returns Home
Those who are truly so devoted to County Magistrate Cheng that they'd risk their family's safety are indeed very few.
With Fang Qi's failed attempt as an example, those who didn't have a stubborn attitude were not keen to try anymore.
After Shu Yu's thorough questioning, most of them were beginning to waver in their thoughts.
She didn't plan to interrogate each of them individually. Instead, she allowed them to talk on their own. Whoever provided more information or cooperated better would earn more merits. All of this would be recorded, and their fates would be considered based on the recorded information and the details they provided.
Of course, some requested private conversations. Either they had crucial information or had sensitive matters to discuss.
Shu Yu accommodated their requests understandingly.
When she finally left the prison cells, the notebook she used for record-keeping had grown quite thick.
The sky outside was completely dark now, but unlike the past few days, there was some activity in the streets. The local residents were finally daring to venture outside.
Shu Yu thought this was a good sign, indicating that Chenggu County would soon return to normal.
She handed the well-documented notebook to Xia Yi at the county office. The information inside was quite substantial, and Xia Yi could use it to extract more information from County Magistrate Cheng. Unexpected gains might also arise from this.
Having spent most of the day in the prison cells, Shu Yu's head was pounding. She hurriedly returned to the Meng Family Escort Bureau.
There were fewer people in the bureau now. The family members of the escorts, knowing that the danger had passed, had decided to return home.
However, during the daytime, the escorts still worked with Meng Pei, assisting in patrolling and tidying up the city.
Seeing Shu Yu return, Meng Han quickly called her over to have a meal.
"Sister Shu Yu, you must be exhausted. The food in the kitchen is still warm. You should eat and rest early."
Shu Yu chuckled as she watched Meng Han bustling about. After this incident, Meng Han seemed to have grown up and matured considerably.
While Shu Yu and Ying Xi ate, Meng Han accompanied them and recounted the day's events in the bureau.
"...I led a group of people to clean up the bureau. When those bandits came last time, they damaged a lot of places in the bureau. We'll have to find artisans to repair it later. While you're all out, there's not much we can do, but we managed to prepare clean beds and warm meals."
Hearing that Meng Han had taken charge of the matter, Shu Yu felt somewhat relieved.
"What about your mother?"
"My mother..." When Tao Shi's name was mentioned, Meng Han's mood visibly dampened. "My mother insisted on finding out where my father is, but I really don't know. After we argued this morning, she didn't dare to approach my older brother, my cousins, or my uncles. She's just giving me the silent treatment and not speaking to me."
Honestly, Meng Han found her mother a bit unreasonable. At this critical juncture, everyone was busy, yet her mother was causing trouble for others over these matters.
However, as a daughter, there were some things she couldn't say outright.
It was actually not bad this way. At least her mother wasn't forcing her to talk to her father or causing a fuss to see him.
"By the way, Tao Qin has returned home," Meng Han mentioned.
Shu Yu's hand holding the utensils paused. Tao Qin returned home? Tao Feili from the Tao Family died in the Black Market, but what about the other members of the Tao Family?
After the chaos that night, Meng Han had visited the Tao Family. At that time, the Tao Family's residence was completely empty.
However, during their time in the Black Market, Shu Yu had only seen Tao Feili. As for the other members of the Tao Family, according to Lu Wu, they hadn't seen them.
