Chapter 1849: Chapter 1849: Lu Sanzhu: I’m Very Close with the County Magistrate

Third Lu jumped down from the carriage, “Alright, I’ll go ask around again.”

He walked briskly and quickly ran to the cloth shop next to the Chen Family grocery store.

The Boss Lady was momentarily startled when she saw him, recognizing him as the brother who had stood next to her while watching the event earlier, and quickly smiled, “Oh, it’s you, little brother. What kind of fabric are you looking to buy?”

Third Lu shook his head, leaned in close to the edge of the counter, and said mysteriously, “No, I just want to ask you about something.”

“What is it?” The Boss Lady seemed uninterested. When watching the commotion earlier, she didn’t mind gossiping and sharing news with fellows. Now there was no excitement to watch, and she was back in the shop, and besides business, she didn’t want to talk about anything else.

Third Lu pretended not to see her displeased expression, convinced she would answer, said, “Didn’t you tell me before that the previous staff from the grocery store next door was imprisoned? What’s that staff’s name? What does he look like, and where does he live?”

The Boss Lady, who had been lazy just moments ago, suddenly became cautious upon hearing this, frowned, and asked, “Why are you asking about this?”

Third Lu chuckled. He is a high-profile person. Shu Yu becoming a county magistrate took him by surprise, and he missed the opportunity to spread the news in Jiangyuan County. Now in Chenggu County, shouldn’t he at least promote his niece?

So he whispered, “I plan to rescue him.”

“Rescue him? How?”

“I’ll report this to Wen’an County Lord. If she knows, she’ll definitely intervene. By then, after uncovering the truth, they can get him out of jail, sparing that staff from some suffering, right?”

The Boss Lady widened her eyes, “You know Wen’an County Lord?”

“Very well.” Third Lu gave a light cough, slightly raised his chin.

“You…” The Boss Lady couldn’t help but scrutinize him. Having spent the entire day in the hills today, Third Lu’s clothes were indeed filthy. She hadn’t paid much attention while sharing gossip earlier.

Looking now, although the clothes were a bit dirty, the material was top-notch. Owning a cloth shop herself, she could easily tell.

Third Lu let her scrutinize. Since becoming a steward, he started to pay attention to his attire. After all, he could buy fabrics from Yiren Pavilion at cost, which he could afford. Before going out this time, remembering that people judge by appearances, he packed all his best clothes.

As a result, the Boss Lady’s gaze changed, and her tone became much more amiable, “Sir, would Wen’an County Lord really look into this? The county magistrate has her own matters to attend to. Wouldn’t this trivial matter disturb her?”

“To be honest, Wen’an County Lord was actually among the crowd earlier, watching the entire drama. Rest assured, she can’t stand lawlessness. You tell me about that staff’s situation, and I’ll inform her. Maybe in a few days, that staff will be back.”

The Boss Lady had been operating the cloth shop for a long time and was quite familiar with that staff. The kid had a warm heart, and sometimes when she received goods and needed help with moving things, he would come over to assist if he had the time.

Seeing him being wronged was infuriating not only to her but also to the nearby households.

But they were helpless. After all, the authorities’ stance was clear, and they all had families and businesses; they dared not take that risk.
