    Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Hu Li was stunned for a moment. He sized up Aunt Yao for a moment. “Why are you so ungrateful? Why are you cursing me for no reason?”


    Aunt Yao’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly smiled apologetically and said, “Mr. Official, 1 didn’t mean it that way. Yuan Shanchuan had an ident a while ago, so I was worried. I didn’t mean to curse him.”


    Even though she said that Aunt Yao did not dare to ask further.


    Fortunately, vige chief Chen quickly came over in the rain and asked first,


    “Sir, why are you looking for Shanchuan?”


    Hu Li had met vige chief Chen before, so he treated him quite well. “Yuan Shanchuan contributed. Because of the clues he provided, we sessfully caught the murderer who killed the three members of the Zhao family. lord said that Yuan Shanchuan was brave resourceful and worthy of praise. So, we came to look for him.”


    The murderer was caught two days before Yuan Shanchuan came back. However, he had been investigating the follow-up matters, so he did not have time to announce it to the public.


    It was also because of this that Xiang Weinan asked Yuan Shanchuan to use this excuse to announce his whereabouts during his disappearance.


    Now that the Zhao family’s murder case could be closed, there was no need to hide the news that the murderer had been caught.


    However, Hu Li’ s words stunned the vigers of Daxu Vige.


    What?


    The official came to find Yuan Shanchuan not because he had done something wrong, but because he had made a contribution and wanted to be rewarded by the county magistrate.


    This is great news.


    Vige chief Chen was also happy. He hurriedly said, “l knew Shanchuan was a good man. He has always done things with propriety. However, Shanchuan went to his brother-inw’s ce yesterday. How about this, I’ll ask someone to go to Shangshi Vige and tell Yuan Shanchuan toe back. Officer, you guys go to my ce first and have a cup of tea to cool down. Look at the heavy rain, you guys still came all the way here. You’re too dutiful.”


    The bailiff had personallye to reward him. Even if Yuan Shanchuan was sick, he had toe back.


    He couldn’t possibly have to send the bailiff to Shangshi Vige, right? Especially on rainy days, if the bailiff was unhappy, the rewards that he originally had might be gone.


    However, Hu Li waved his hand. “There’s no need. Let’s go straight to Shanghai Vige.”


    They knew about Yuan Shanchuan’s illness. They might be colleagues in the future. There was no need to fuss over such a small matter.


    Vige chief Chen did not want Yuan Shanchuan to drag his sick body back and forth. Seeing that the officer had said so, he immediately smiled and said, “That… that’s fine. Shangshi Vige is not far from Daxu Vige. 1 will lead the way for the two officers.”


    Hu Li nodded and shook off the water droplets on his straw raincoat.


    Fortunately, the rain was much lighter now.


    He turned around and was about to follow vige chief Chen. The Yuan family members who had been in a daze for a long time after hearing the whole story finally came back to their senses.


    Yuan Shanchuan didn’t cause any trouble, and he even received amendation from the office. How could this be done?


    The Yuan Family members stepped forward subconsciously. Boss Yuan asked anxiously, “Lord, what reward will Yuan Shanchuan get?” Did he have a lot of silver? Was he going to be rich?


    The two elders of the Yuan family also looked at him eagerly.


    Hu Li frovvned. Before he could say anything, vige chief Chen took a few steps forward and pointed at Boss Yuan’s nose. “What are you doing? What are you doing? What does Shanchuan’s reward have to do with you? Don’t forget that you guys broke off all ties yesterday. I still have a copy of the termination agreement.. What’s wrong? You’ve only slept for a while and you’ve forgotten everything, right?”
