Awu quickly pulled something on his chest, and some wrapped arrows in a rag were shown.

These arrows were picked up near the Cotton Hill that day. There was also the broken arrow pulled from the horse’s buttocks. The blood on the arrow was specifically preserved so that the country magistrate could see it as the evidence clearly.

The carriage drove out of the Huangtou Village, just in time to catch up in the government opening.

When she arrived at the gate of the government, she was the only one, no else was there.

The guard, who was at the gate was the same person she had seen before, Xiao Ding. When she visited Meng Nan a few times, he led the way for her.

“Miss Bai? How come you are here today? Meng Daren returned to the capital, didn’t you know about this?” Xiao Ding asked Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I am not here to find Meng Dage, I’m here to complain.”

Xiao Ding busily asked: “Complain? What happened?”

Bai Zhi sighed and said: “That day, Hu Feng and I went to the town’s gate to send away Meng Dage. On our way back we meet an ambush. There were people disguised as bandits and attacked us. I’ve seen the face of one of them. It was the thug around Boss Qian.”

Xiao Ding’s face slightly changed, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: “You said Boss Qian, you mean Qian Zhongyuan?”

Bai Zhi nodded: “It’s him. One time, when he tried bullying us, I taught him a few lessons. I didn’t expect that he was so resentful. Because of this little thing, he wanted to take mine and Hu Feng’s life. Fortunately, our life is big, and we escaped that catastrophe.”

Xiao Ding pulled her to the side: “Miss Bai, do you know who’s Boss Qian is?”

Bai Zhi replied: “Of course, I know him. He is Gu Daren’s brother-in-law, right?”

“You know it, but you still come to sue him? Gu Daren has always been short-sighted. If you told him about this, aren’t you only looking for death?” Xiao Ding was anxious. After all, he had seen her a few times. He had been blessed my Meng Nan several times. So whoever Meng Nan’s friends are, they were also his friends. He can’t afford to see her make stupid action.

Bai Zhi frowned: “Looking for death? It was Boss Qian who wants me dead. He hired men to kill us, so why am I looking for death? I have evidence, will it still be hard for Gu Daren to seek justice for the victims?”

She wanted to seek justice for Hu Feng and herself. If she will not go to the government and complain, and Boss Qian happened to know that she and Hu Feng are still alive, he might send another group of people to kill them.

Even if this accusation will end up as a failure, at least Gu Daren will know about it. He can privately warn his brother-in-law, and say that he shouldn’t provoke them again.

Seeing Bai Zhi insisted on complaining, Xiao Ding had no choice but to take Awu to the side and said. “This Dage, if you want her to live, quickly go and find help. Miss Bai doesn’t know Gu Daren’s temper. Therefore, she insists on complaining, the ending of this matter will definitely not be good.”

Awu also heard about Gu Daren’s temperament, he is not a good person. Now, even this Xiao Ding also said so, it seems that this idea was really bad.

“But I don’t know anyone here, where can I get help?”

Xiao Ding thought for a moment, then suddenly he thought of a person, he busily said: “You go to the restaurant and find Boss Chen. He and Meng Daren are friends. Although Meng Daren left, he and Miss Bai also know each other. If Boss Chen learn about this matter, he will come forward to save her.”

Awu repeatedly nodded his head and said: “Good, I will go to the restaurant now. Xiao Ding, I will trouble you to look after Miss Bai. If Gu Daren really wants to harm her, you plead mercy for her first.” Awu was so anxious, so how can he think that Xiao Ding was only a guard and has no qualification to enter the official court.
