Chapter 382: Chapter 381: Edict from the Imperial Court_1

"What else could it be, alas!"

Lui Ming lowered his head and sighed deeply: "That boy often travels all over the place. Initially, he said he wanted to go to Lin County, I didn’t care too much. Later, Lin County was hit by an epidemic and the roads were blocked, making it completely impossible to return. I didn’t take it too seriously, after all, it wasn’t his first time staying out."

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi nodded repeatedly.

They both also thought that Lui Muyi was worldly and knowledgeable. Although he seemed imprudent in his actions, he actually had great capability and shrewdness; he should not have gotten into any trouble. However, Su Pan’er was more worried about another issue. The plague in Lin County, could Lui Muyi have contracted it?

"At that time, I was worried that he might get infected with the plague, so I kept sending people to inquire about him."

Lui Ming kept sighing. "A couple of days ago, I finally got a response from the person I had sent to investigate. But what I learned gave me quite a shock. They said that Yi’er got into trouble and was temporarily imprisoned. Then, he was sent to the riverbank to do hard labor. I..."

"What?"

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi exclaimed in unison, standing up involuntarily.

The two of them exchanged glances, and Qin Yi hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lui, did the person who brought the letter back mention what crimes Young Master Lui actually committed?"

"They said he seduced a concubine from another household, not only did he rape then kill her, but he also attempted to hide the body and cover up the crime."

When this matter was mentioned, Lui Ming was notably indignant: "If it was any other charge, so be it, but if you say my Yi’er would seduce a concubine and then rape her and kill her because he couldn’t obtain her, I, Lui Ming, would absolutely not believe it! Given his contempt for women, I don’t believe for a second that he could do such a thing!"

"I am quite aware of Big Brother Lui’s character."

Su Pan’er also agreed. "It might be possible for others, but it’s unthinkable for Big Brother Lui to commit such a crime. Uncle Lui, do you have a plan to deal with this? The current conditions in Lin County don’t allow travel...This might be quite difficult."

Having interacted with him a couple of times, she knew quite well that Lui Muyi was obsessive about cleanliness.

Calling it cleanliness was a nice way to put it, in reality, he has always been averse to female contact. His family runs many gambling dens and brothels, but he never participates and is not interested in any of the women. That’s why until now, he remains single.

Lui Ming understood his own son better than anyone. This news was unbelievable to him when he first heard it, even after confirming it multiple times, he couldn’t help but curse loudly!

"Damn it, who’s the bastard trying to frame my son? Wait till I find them, I’ll skin them alive, break their bones...."

After having his fill of cursing, he immediately became restless again and sent people to investigate the matter all over again.

At this point, the major problem arose.

Lin County was under lockdown, no one was allowed to enter or leave. He was strong and energetic but there was nowhere to utilize his energy.

Fortunately, a secret letter from Old Xue just happened to reach him through covert channels. The letter mentioned Su Pan’er, which gave him an idea, and he swiftly decided to ask for Su Pan’er’s help on the matter.

Upon hearing Su Pan’er’s words, his eyes lit up. "Speaking of which, the reason for my visit today is indeed to ask Doctor Su for assistance."

Su Pan’er smiled slightly. "Wherever I am able to assist, Uncle Lui, just ask."

"I’m hoping you could go to Lin County on my behalf, to find out the exact situation of my son’s case. If you can manage to rescue him, that would be even better!"

Lui Ming pledged with a slap on his chest: "When this matter is resolved, I, Lui Ming, will definitely repay you handsomely. I won’t let the two of you be wronged!"

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er looked at each other.

Su Pan’er had a look of difficulty on her face and sighed deeply: "Uncle Lui, it’s not that we are intentionally declining, but even though the disaster situation in Yongze County is basically stable now, the Imperial Envoy is still here watching us closely. And besides... even if the Imperial Envoy agrees, we still can’t get to Lin County! Isn’t that road still sealed off?"

"As long as you agree, I can take care of the rest."

Lui Ming was overjoyed!

"We are friends with Young Master Lui and it’s natural for us to help him. As long as Uncle Lui has a way for us to get to Lin County, we will undoubtedly go."

Su Pan’er laughed heartily. Meanwhile, Qin Yi slightly furrowed his brows, but soon regained his composure.

"Very well, as long as you agree, the rest isn’t much of a problem! I’ll handle it. The matter is as follows..."

Lui Ming straightened his posture, ready to give a detailed explanation when suddenly a knock on the door interrupted him.

Qin Yi opened the door.

A government employee greeted him with a bow: "Scholar Qin, Doctor Su, Lord Jun requests your presence."

Lord Jun summoned us?

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er looked at each other. They did not dare to delay and quickly rose to their feet. "Thank you, officer, for making this journey. We will go right away."

Before Qin Yi and his wife could say anything, a look of understanding flashed through Lui Ming’s eyes. If Jun Ruochen was looking for Qin Yi at this moment, it was likely about that matter.

He laughed heartily: "Since the nephew Ruochen has an important matter to discuss with you, you should go ahead. I’ll remain here, waiting for your good news."

With Lui Ming’s words, the couple quickly excused themselves and went to Jun Ruochen’s temporary tent together.

In the tent, Jun Ruoxue was chatting with Jun Ruochen cheerfully.

Upon hearing the movement at the entrance, she peered over, made eye contact with the couple, then quickly retreated.

She quickly got up and hid in the back in a small compartment, she didn’t even saying hello.

"Huh?"

Jun Ruochen appeared puzzled - this wasn’t like her usual self! Plus, hadn’t she formed a close sisterly bond with Su Pan’er? Why was she avoiding them like this today?

Could something have happened recently that he was unaware of?

"Scholar Qin, Su Pan’er bow in respect before Lord Jun."

The couple came forward, their greetings interrupted Jun Ruochen’s train of thought, and he quickly responded with a greeting.

"Please, sit down and talk."

After they thanked him and took a seat, he slowly proceeded with a look of difficulty: "In fact, I called you over so late because I had no other choice. There are matters that I need to discuss with the two of you."

The County Magistrate has matters to discuss with commoners? If this was mentioned in public, probably nobody would believe it.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er looked at each other, completely baffled.

"Please, just inform us, sir."

Jun Ruochen nodded in satisfaction, instructed someone outside: "Bring me the items in."

Shortly after, an official came in carrying a set of official garments.

"Scholar Qin, these are your clothes, footwear, and hat for the criminal record. The Court’s approval arrived two days ago, from now on, you are officially an employee of the Imperial Court. Not only will your descendants be under protection, you will also receive millet, grain, and silver coins provided by the Court every month, which you can collect at the end of the month."

It turned out to be such good news!

The two couldn’t help but smile at each other. "Thank you, County Magistrate."
