The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1864: Chapter 1864: Let Me File a Complaint

Ying Dong was already waiting at the city gate, and next to him... was Meng Yunzheng.

Shu Yu was a bit surprised, jumped off the carriage, and asked with a smile, ”Why are you here?” Not having seen him for several days, Shu Yu was very happy to see him.

Meng Yunzheng squeezed her hand, led her to the side of the carriage, and replied as they walked, ”Xia Yan happened to see Ying Dong and doubted whether he saw correctly. He told me, and that’s how I found out you all had arrived.”

After the New Year, Xia Yan came to the prefecture with Meng Yunzheng to help. If it weren’t for his sharp eyes, Meng Yunzheng wouldn’t have known the Lu family had already been here for two days.

He lifted his head and said to the old lady in the carriage, ”Grandmother must be tired. I’ve booked an inn, and will take you there right away.”

The old lady chuckled, not tired at all, ”Yunzheng has gotten thinner. I heard from Yu that you’re so busy your feet don’t touch the ground. It’s too exhausting.”

Meng Yunzheng climbed onto the driver’s seat of the carriage and personally drove them, ”The busiest period is over. I have a lot more free time now. I originally planned to go home for a visit in a couple of days, but didn’t expect you all to come. Was the journey smooth?”

”Smooth, smooth.”

As they chatted, the carriage quickly arrived at the inn.

The inn Meng Yunzheng booked wasn’t far from the government office. Business in the prefecture hasn’t been good lately, and there weren’t many guests at the inn, so he just reserved the entire courtyard.

This way, the Lu family can live in peace, and there’s also Zhou Tiedong who needs to recuperate.

Zhou Tiedong felt a bit overwhelmed; he’d never stayed in such a nice inn before, one person per room.

Once settled, Meng Yunzheng said to Shu Yu, ”I heard from Ying Dong, he followed the Chen Family here; they’re currently staying in Shili Lane. I’ve already sent Xia Yan to gather information on the Chen Family’s current situation. Later, we’ll find out what’s going on.”

He was thorough in his consideration, so Shu Yu didn’t need to be too busy.

Meng Yunzheng asked her, ”What’s your strategy against him?”

Shu Yu didn’t rush to answer, but instead asked, ”Who’s in charge of the prefecture now? Lord Qi?”

”Yes, the magistrate hasn’t taken office yet. Currently, it’s Qi Lie arranging things in Changjin Prefecture.” Today is only the tenth day of the first lunar month; if it were any other year, people would still be on holiday.

This year is special; at the end of last year, the second and third princes rebelled, leaving the imperial court unable to rest during the New Year.

Yet despite all this, there’s still disputes over the selection of the magistrate for Changjin Prefecture.

Shu Yu’s eyes shifted, ”Then if there’s a case to be judged, it’s Lord Qi who presides over it?”

”Yes.”

”Is Lord Qi busy these days? Could he spare a day or half-day for me to file a lawsuit?”

Meng Yunzheng said with resignation, ”Even if he’s incredibly busy, he’ll have time for that.”

”That’s good.” Shu Yu then outlined her plan.

Meng Yunzheng raised his eyebrows, ”Shall I accompany you tomorrow?”

”No need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut; Chen Bing isn’t a major figure.”

Meng Yunzheng thought about the large number of Lu family members present, plus Ying Xi and Ying Dong, and with Shu Yu as the county magistrate, it indeed was sufficient.

”But do help me find a doctor first; Zhou Tiedong traveled a long way with us and it’s better to have him checked out to prevent his injuries from worsening.”

”Alright, I’ll go right away.”

Meng Yunzheng quickly found a doctor and brought him back. After the doctor examined Zhou Tiedong’s injuries and left, Xia Yan returned.
