Episode 18

Liu Wan humiliated Luo Shu in public at the hall meeting and asked Luo Shu to play the pipa to cheer them up. She was still angry and asked her female companions to order music on the spot. Luo Shu didn't want to cause trouble to Han Muzhi, so she had to do it.

Han Muzhi came over after hearing the news. He wanted to help Luo Shu, but he didn't dare to refute Liu Wan's face in public. He stood there in a daze. Qi Menglin hurried over to support Luo Shu, using his identity as the son of the governor to put pressure.He Xiang used her power to bully others and sneered at Qi Menglin. Qi Menglin taught her a lesson.Liu Wan stood up and argued with Qi Menglin, but Qi Menglin sneered at her, leaving Liu Wan speechless.

Two rich ladies stood up and mocked Luo Shu for being of low origin. Qi Menglin told them that they were worthless, then picked up Luo Shu and left. Qi Menglin walked up to Han Muzhi, laughed at him for being a hypocrite, and warned her not to provoke Luo Shu again.Qi Menglin pulled Luo Shu to the river and advised her not to be Han Muzhi's concubine. Luo Shu was publicly humiliated, but Han Muzhi was too scared to step forward to help her. She was very sad.

Lu Cong, the son of Linfen wealthy businessman Lu Wanchang, came to the county government to file a complaint. Lu Wanchang was suspected of killing his neighbor Ma Tianjin and was imprisoned. He wanted to avenge Lu Wanchang.Han Muzhi still has fresh memories of this case. Lu Wanchang and Ma Tianjin had a feud. Ma Tianjin was killed with a knife. Someone reported that Lu Wanchang was the murderer. Lu Wanchang also confessed to the crime. Lu Cong repeatedly defended Lu Wanchang. People initially suspected that Lu Wanchang was the murderer., Lu Wanchang couldn't argue, and he didn't want to implicate his family, so he signed and signed. Lu Cong saw an arrest notice in Hejin County. Two robbers told them to go to Ma's house to commit murder. Han Muzhi didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to go to Liu Yiqing for help..

Liu Yiqing was well aware of Han Muzhi's words and deeds. He reminded Han Muzhi not to get involved in these trivial cases anymore, so as not to affect his future. Liu Yiqing heard that Qi Menglin made a big fuss in Liu Wan's hall, so he reprimanded Han Muzhi without asking.The more Han Muzhi thought about it, the more angry he became. He suspected that someone from the county government had tipped off Liu Yiqing, and decided to rectify the subordinate staff. Chen Meiqing advised him to think twice. He had just been in Linfen for a year and his foundation was not stable, so Han Muzhi had no choice but to give up. He sent Chen Meiqing to Hejin County to understand the situation.

Luo Shu heard that Capt. Cai was going to Hejin with Chen Meiqing to investigate the case. She once went to the prison to interrogate Lu Wanchang and found out that Lu Wanchang was definitely not a good person, and why the robbers didn't go to the rich and powerful Lu family to steal, but chose Ma Tianjin's family.Shu felt that the case was very suspicious and wanted to investigate it personally. Chen Meiqing wanted her to take the opportunity to avoid Liu Wan and agreed to take her with him.Qi Menglin heard that Luo Shu and Hejin were investigating the case, and Tuya also wanted to go with him. Luo Shu couldn't win over him, so he had to agree first. Qi Menglin casually asked about Luo Shu's deregistration document. He suspected that someone was obstructing it, so he couldn't approve it for a long time.Qi Menglin wanted to ask his father for help, but Luo Shu didn't want to cause him any trouble.

Han Muzhi came to see Luo Shu off. When he walked in and heard the conversation between Luo Shu and Qi Menglin, he felt very uncomfortable.Luo Shu got up early in the morning and wanted to go to the dock without telling Qi Menglin. Unexpectedly, Qi Menglin had been waiting for a long time, so she had to take Qi Menglin with her.Qi Menglin and Luo Shu took a boat to the pier of Hejin County. He saw two beggars on the boat next to him snatching buns, so he exchanged the meat strips for a bun. When he learned that they were coming to pick up his master, his master was rowing a boat to send a woman across the river.The woman gave them a basket of steamed buns, Qi MengLin accidentally saw blood stains on the side of the boat and suspected that the two little beggars were bad guys. He opened the wine jar next to him and found a human head hidden inside. The little beggar took out a dagger and stabbed Qi Menglin. Luo Shu felt that the situation was not good and pulledAs soon as Qi Menglin got up, he jumped into the river and escaped.

Capt. Cai heard the news and came to rescue Qi Menglin from the river. The little beggar took the opportunity to row away. Qi Menglin thanked Luo Shu for saving his life. Luo Shu suspected that the head was the woman who gave the beggar a bun, and she wanted to use it as bait to lure the beggar's master.Taking the bait, Qi Menglin was worried.At this moment, the beggar's master hurried to the pier. Luo Shu ran to the pier to cross the river without saying a word. The little beggar didn't want to cause trouble and persuaded the master to leave first. Luo Shu had already jumped on the boat and urged the old beggar to sail quickly..

Qi Menglin was worried that Luo Shu was in danger, so Capt. Cai rushed to the shore. He revealed his identity as a cop, lied that Luo Shu was his wife, and persuaded Luo Shu to go home with him. Luo Shu kept claiming that Capt. Cai was a human trafficker.The beggar felt something was wrong and immediately joinedLeave quickly. Cai Captou jumped on the boat. The little beggar drew a knife and wanted to kill Luo Shu. Qi Menglin threw a stone and hit the little beggar on the chest. He dropped the knife on the ground in pain. The old beggar jumped into the river to escape. The two little beggarsThey also jumped into the river one after another.

Hejin County Capt. Yang Zhan and his men arrived in time and arrested all three beggars. Capt. Cai and Yang Zhan were old acquaintances. They reunited after a long separation, and their excitement was beyond words.Luo Shu wanted to interrogate Ma Tianjin's murderer. The prison boss, Lao Song, had been waiting at the gate of the county government office early and took the initiative to take Luo Shu and Qi Menglin to the county government prison.The murderers Jin Laoliu and Zheng Laosan confessed that they killed Ma Tianjin to rob money. Luo Shu asked hard for the details. They avoided the important and ignored the easy and answered fluently. Lao Song scolded them and invited Luo Shu, Qi Menglin, Yang Zhan and CaiCatching the head to eat.

Luo Shu felt that Jin Laoliu and Zheng Laosan were not the murderers. Capt. Cai also felt the same. Qi Menglin suggested interrogating them after dinner.After dinner, Luo Shu, Qi Menglin and Cai Captou came to the prison again. Luo Shu believed that they were scapegoats, explained the stakes to them, and persuaded them to tell the real culprit behind the scenes. Lao Song hurried over, taking Lao Jin with him.Liuhe and Zheng Laosan's wife came to deliver the meal.

Luo Shu, Qi Menglin and Cai Captou followed the two women separately. Jin Laoliu's wife happily went to the rouge shop after she came out of the prison. Zheng Laosan's wife went home to take care of the children. There was nothing unusual. Luo Shu, Qi Menglin and CaiThe arresters felt that something was wrong with Lao Song, but it was impossible for him to contact the Lu family in Linfen directly.
