Chapter 748: A Complete Case of Stealing the Bell While Covering One’s Ears

Bai Yunxi looked at the county magistrate in front of her and pulled the corner of her mouth. Although this person was asking her, his tone was cold and his eyes were stern, revealing a faint warning, which made people very uncomfortable.

"County magistrate, you are overthinking. I just think that this ambush is too coincidental. It happened to be on the birthday of the old lady. I heard from Yu Geer that he had been staying in the mansion for the first few days, waiting to celebrate the birthday for the old lady. But suddenly he received news that something went wrong with the birthday gift he prepared for the old lady, so he returned to the other courtyard to check."

Every time Bai Yunxi said a word, County Magistrate Xie's face became uglier.

"Someone took advantage of the old lady's birthday to make a fuss and kill people. It's simply unforgivable. With your status in the county, many people must be curious about what kind of thief dares to be so bold as to persecute the eldest son of the Xie family, the future head of the family?"

Looking at the dark face of the county magistrate, he was obviously holding back his anger, but he tried his best to suppress it. But so what? He didn't manage his family well, and on such a day, he caused trouble and damaged his reputation. Isn't it his own fault?

No matter what County Magistrate Xie thinks, it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, she only knows Xie Yu, and she feels sorry for the boy's experience, so she just says a few words for him.

As for the conflicts within their family, it is not her business or her interference. She just cares about a poor kid from the perspective of a friend. As for the County Magistrate Xie in front of her, no matter how narrow-minded he is, he will not embarrass her as a woman.

Thinking about Xie Yu's pitiful eyes just now, he is obviously in his twenties, but his eyes reveal helplessness and hesitation that cannot be concealed.

Such a proud person in normal days, actually wanted to treat her as a mother, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

So, no matter how ugly the face of County Magistrate Xie was, she still couldn't help but say a few words whether she should or shouldn't say.

"County Magistrate Xie is the parent official of the people. Putting aside the relationship that Xie Yu is your son, he is also one of the people. Those daring criminals dared to do such a bad thing under the jurisdiction of Lord Xie. It is naturally the responsibility of the government to arrest the thieves, and it is also the responsibility of the government to protect the people."

"As for who Yu Ge'er offended and whether he was implicated, I believe Lord Xie will be able to investigate it thoroughly, catch the real murderer, and seek justice for your eldest son."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's big talk to her, County Magistrate Xie snorted in his heart. He was eloquent and said it in a high-sounding way. What kind of official duties does a woman know?

Talking big talk to him is really nonsense.

Listening to the disdainful voice of County Magistrate Xie, Bai Yunxi was speechless. Such a stubborn person, no wonder he could stay in office for a lifetime without moving.

Such a person is destined to have no great achievements in his life.

"Master Xie, maybe I said too much, but it is true that Brother Yu almost lost his life. The thief hiding behind the scenes seriously injured Xie Yu, which is rampant and provocative enough. If the real murderer is not found one day, the perpetrator will pay the price. It will only indulge the other party's arrogance and provoke Master Xie's official power... After all, the ambush that occurred within your jurisdiction is really not glorious."

Listening to the sarcasm in Bai Yunxi's tone, County Magistrate Xie clenched his fists and looked at her with sharp eyes. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been paralyzed by fear.

But these so-called official power suppression had no effect on Bai Yunxi.

Bai Yunxi raised his hand to touch his forehead, shook the corners of his mouth speechlessly, turned his head, and rolled his eyes elsewhere.

I couldn't help but complain. If I had the ability to catch the real murderer, I would also let my son admire me. Isn't it better than pretending to be a big garlic in front of her?

His pressure had no effect on people at all. County Magistrate Xie was shocked by her courage and was also angry that Bai Yunxi had no respect for him as the head of a county. He was a thorn.

"This matter has its own destiny. Brother Yu is grateful for your help today. After you settle Brother Yu, this county will definitely bring my wife to thank you for saving my life."

Listening to the polite words of this man, Bai Yunxi waved his hand without thinking and refused directly,

"No need to thank you, as long as Brother Yu is fine, I will be relieved. If you really want to thank me, wait until he recovers and come to thank me in person. I have known Brother Yu for a few years, and in my heart, he has always been just a child."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, County Magistrate Xie pursed his lips and frowned. He was not stupid, how could he not hear Bai Yunxi's dissatisfaction? People looked down on them and didn't take him, the county magistrate, seriously.

Just as he was about to say something, several people rushed in from the entrance of the clinic, led by Shopkeeper Jiang, followed by two boys dressed as waiters.

When Shopkeeper Jiang saw County Magistrate Xie, he immediately bowed.

"Greetings, sir. I just got the news that the eldest son was injured, so I came to visit him."

After saying that, without waiting for County Magistrate Xie to speak, he turned to look at Bai Yunxi, and knelt on the ground with a plop, his forehead touching the ground.

"Thank you, Madam Bai, for saving my life. I kowtow to you on behalf of the eldest son."

On the way here, he had heard from the medicine boy that it was Madam Bai who saved their son and sent him to the clinic. He had no way to repay such a life-saving grace, so he could only kowtow to express his gratitude.

Bai Yunxi was startled by being knelt down suddenly, and took a step back directly.

"Manager Jiang, you are too polite. Now that we have met, I will definitely not stand idly by. It can also be said that it is all fate. Fortunately, your eldest son is not in danger of death. As long as he is carefully cared for for a while, he will recover."

She came to the county and stayed at Nanshan Inn several times, and she was familiar with the shopkeeper. But today she found out that Nanshan Inn turned out to be Xie Yu's property. To be precise, Nanshan Inn is the property left to him by Xie Yu's mother.

And it has nothing to do with Xie's family. You can tell just by looking at Shopkeeper Jiang's attitude towards Magistrate Xie.

Shopkeeper Jiang’s only master is Xie Yu.

Now that the person Xie Yu trusted had arrived, she didn't have to stay and chat with the Xie family. She was exhausted.

Baiyunxi turned around and thanked the county magistrate for his blessing.

"Thank you, sir, for being busy today. I won't interrupt you. I'll take my leave."

"Madam Bai, stay here. Since you are Brother Yu's savior, no matter how busy the Xie family is, they will not neglect their guests. It just so happens that Xie can fulfill his duties as a landlord."

Regarding Magistrate Xie's invitation, Bai Yunxi shook her head and refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. There are many people in the house, so I won't disturb you. Besides, I like a quiet person, and I am not used to an environment that is too noisy. As long as Brother Yu is recovering from his injuries, I will wait for news of his recovery. "

With that said, without waiting for Magistrate Xie to speak, Bai Yunxi turned around and left.

Wenyou had been leaning at the door. When she saw Baiyun Xi coming out, she immediately followed.

As soon as he took a few steps, he was stopped by the woman beside Zhang Yiren, "Mrs. Bai, my Yiren invites you."
