"Master, why don't you find an excuse to release Cheng Yu so that he won't be worried all day?"

"If only it was that simple, but the person who was going against me was Assistant County Magistrate Xu, Xu Ziqi, if I let Cheng Yu go, and end this case in secret, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not send a book on me, at that time, his future husband would be done for."

If it was in the past, he would just close his eyes and settle this matter, but behind Xu Ziqi was the Xu Family, if Xu Ziqi was able to lay a hand on this, and cause the capital's Xu Family to report to the Emperor, then Wang Hai would have to end his official road.

"Master, is there anyone behind Cheng Yu? Someone who can take the seat of the president of the Lishui County Merchant Guild, how could he be so easily tricked? "

Lady Wang was a woman from a large, declining family. It was Wang Hai's father who had begged three times to bring such a daughter-in-law to Wang Hai.

Wang Cheng had helped Wang Hai a lot, even though he always talked about women being long and short, if anything really happened to him, Wang Hai would still talk to her.

For example, now, after Wang Cheng had finished speaking, Wang Hai's eyes lit up, and she said immediately: "Madam, with you, it's really my, Wang Hai's, lifetime's worth of fortune!"

With that, she lifted her robe and walked out of the room. Mrs. Cheng called out to her worriedly, "Master, you haven't eaten yet!"

"Madam, please keep it for me. I'm afraid I won't be back until very late."

Hearing that, Mrs. Cheng sighed. As her husband, she was good at everything, but sometimes her brain couldn't come up with anything.

"..."

With Lady Wang Cheng's reminder, Wang Hai quickly arrived at the place where he was supposed to take care of Cheng Yu. He asked the attendant that was waiting outside: "Has the people inside woken up?"

The person inside shouted a few times, it was Cheng Yu who woke up.

"..." Lord Wang? "

Wang Hai pushed open the door and entered. Just a moment ago, he was acting so anxious as if he had never been there.

Cheng Yu laughed bitterly and was about to get off the bed, but was pushed back down by Wang Hai.

"Did the Young Master Cheng send any news to our family?"

Logically speaking, Cheng Yu was the Cheng Family's most promising grandson, Cheng Family Old Man should be very anxious, but until now, other than Wang Mu, nobody else came to the Cheng Family to greet him, oh, there was also Cheng Yu's father who came to greet him, there was nothing else.

From the looks of it, their family was giving up on Cheng Yu.

Wang Hai really could not understand, if the Cheng family were to speak up, according to the power behind the family, it would not be a problem to save even a single Cheng Yu.

And Cheng Yu himself, there must be many big trees behind him, but why did Cheng Yu never mention it, or … Have a decision?

"I'm afraid that the Cheng family will not care about this matter. I wonder why Lord Wang is looking for me?"

Cheng Yu laughed bitterly and shook his head, Wang Hai understood most of it, he had even sent people to the Cheng Family to inform them, and from the looks of it, this matter was related to the Cheng Family.

"..." He seemed to remember that Jin Weiwei had said that she had offended Cheng Yuan before, and this Cheng Yuan was the Cheng Clan Old Master's beloved grandson, so for his beloved grandson, would he sacrifice another grandson?

Thinking about it this way, it was truly too terrifying. The back of his hand was covered in flesh, how could this old man be so heartless?

Wang Hai started to sympathize with Cheng Yu.

"Cheng, a young master from Young Master Yu. This county would never believe that you would do such a thing. I wonder what proof Young Master Cheng has of his ability. This county can also help the Young Master Cheng wash away his grievances."

These words were said secretly, but how could someone as intelligent as Cheng Yu not see through it?

As expected, Cheng Yu smiled lightly: "I am currently heavily injured and I probably won't be able to wake up for a long time. Madame Jin has already gone to the city, so Sir Wang still needs to look after Madame Jin's family carefully, don't let those people with ulterior motives go and hurt Madame Jin's family."

Hearing this, Wang Hai's eyes narrowed. Cheng Yu was telling him that he had already gotten Jin Weiwei to think of a way for him.

"That's right, the people outside still don't know whether you were assassinated by the Young Master Yu or in a coma."

Wang Hai understood what Cheng Yu was trying to say, and could not help but admire Cheng Yu's brain. As the person in the trap, even he could not see clearly, but had already set him up.

"That's right, Cheng Yu is unconscious, I hope Sir Wang can strengthen the defenses around him."

Cheng Yu's intention was for Wang Hai to spread the news and buy some time for Jin Weiwei to save the person, and also make the people outside suspect that Cheng Yu was being framed.

In the afternoon, a piece of news was posted in front of the yamen's official office. It said that someone had snuck into the yamen's prison to assassinate Cheng Yu.

The real killer was imprisoned in the water prison in the inner court.

"I'll give you a chance. If you tell me who the mastermind is, I'll let you go."

Inside the dark and damp water prison, Wang Hai, who was sitting in front of the killer, said those words coldly.

The assassin's body was covered in blood, and his original appearance could no longer be seen. Only a pair of eyes remained, barely able to contain the shadow.

"Really, really?"

"This county's words are never spoken without planning. You just have to say who the mastermind is."

Wang Hai straightened his body and looked at the killer seriously.

"Alright, I said, yes, it's the young master of our family, Cheng Yuan."

The man spoke in an intermittent voice, one of his hands was hanging on the chain binding him, with a pale white color, it was the hand that was interrupted by Little Rich Son.

Hearing this, Wang Hai frowned, as if he suspected that it was really Cheng Yuan who had obtained the information so easily. Then, did it affect Cheng Yu's position in the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce?

"Why did he want you to assassinate Cheng Yu?"

"Because, because, because, the one who kidnapped Madame Jin's father, Cheng Yuan, was ordered by Cheng Yuan to be framed, so that the Old Master could give all his family property to him."

Wang Hai turned serious: "I want you to testify in court, otherwise, your life will not be preserved here in this county."

The killer regained some spirit and raised his head, his eyes filled with the desire to survive.

"Everything I say is true, I don't want to die! It's Cheng Yuan! "

After finishing his sentence, the assassin was overwhelmed by the cold, damp water. He could feel the twisting and twisting pain coming from his shoulder, torturing him all the time.

Wang Hai nodded, then waved his hand and signaled his men to release the killer, since he had agreed to let the killer go, he could not let him die.

Seeing that he had brought the killer up, Wang Hai frowned even more. Behind him, Cheng Yuan was probably not the only one scheming.

It was just that until now, the matters of the Qing Shui County had not been completely settled, and the large number of victims of the Lishui County had yet to be properly settled. He could not let anything happen to Cheng Yu, and he could not let the business of the Lishui County lose control.

Therefore, he had to find a scapegoat for Cheng Yu. That was why when the killer said that it was Cheng Yuan, Wang Hai did not refute him even if he was suspicious.

The way to Yuncheng City required one to pass through Yunhai County. It was the county city next to the sea, and although the flow of people was complicated, it was not as bustling as the other counties.

By the time Jin Weiwei and Little Rich Son arrived, it was already dark, but the number of people that passed by did not decrease at all.
