Chapter 211: He's Your Maternal Grandfather
The waiter scoffed, "Who are you?"
Lu Yuan nonchalantly raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so you don't know?" Without hesitation, he said, "Run!"
Zongzheng Xi was taken aback, "Huh?"
The old farmer swiftly slipped away! Lu Yuan grabbed Zongzheng Xi, who was still in a daze, and followed the farmer out the back door.
The waiter was completely caught off guard by their sudden escape, stunned for a moment, then angrily shouted, "Catch them!"
The three of them rushed out the back door and sprinted down the street.
The old farmer ran, making a whistling sound, "Kid! Why are you following me? There are so many other paths!"
Lu Yuan, carrying Zongzheng Xi, kept running, "If I don't follow you, should I lead them away so you can escape alone?"
The old farmer, a true Daoist, had indeed been thinking along those lines.
"Over there!"
The waiter's voice came from the side, and he had apparently taken a shortcut to block their path ahead.
The old farmer said, "There are too many of them. I'll take your brother and go. You stop him."
Lu Yuan replied, "Why don't you stop him instead?"
The end of the alley was blocked, and people were crowded together.
The old farmer made a sudden stop and turned into a narrow alley, "I'm old, not as agile as you young folks."
Lu Yuan didn't fall behind and turned the corner, keeping up, "Really? But I think the old ginger is the spiciest!"
"Chase them! They're heading east!"
The old farmer grinned, then suddenly leaped onto the roof.
This move was incredibly fast, leaving ordinary people no time to react.
The old farmer boasted, "Hmph, I shook them off."
"Who are you talking about?"
Lu Yuan's playful voice suddenly appeared next to the old farmer's ear.
The old farmer was startled and turned to look at the young man who had managed to shake him off several times, "Young man, you're quite skilled."
Lu Yuan looked ahead and continued running, "Old man, you're not bad either."
"Shoot!"
Along with an unfamiliar voice, a volley of arrows flew through the air.
The old farmer was surprised, "Why are there arrows?"
Lu Yuan swiftly moved to the other side of the old farmer.
The old farmer, now a human shield, exclaimed, "What the...!"
Do young people these days have no sense of martial morality? The old farmer leaped into the air, kicking away the oncoming arrows, and continued his mad dash across the rooftops.
Lu Yuan said, "Those were patrol soldiers."
The old farmer replied, "Is it worth reporting to the officials just for a meal?"
More arrows flew straight towards the two of them.
This time, Lu Yuan couldn't repeat his previous trick, as the old farmer had already dodged behind him.
Lu Yuan's expression remained calm, and he suddenly jumped down.
The arrows flew towards him!
The old farmer, who had been tricked again, trembled! He caught five arrows with his bare hands and even held one in his mouth.
Lu Yuan, carrying Zongzheng Xi, stood in the courtyard and looked up at him with a smile, "Thank you."
The old farmer was still pondering the meaning of this 'thank you' when a large net suddenly dropped from above, trapping him completely.
"We got him!"
The old farmer coldly humphed, "Kid, trying to escape?"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Old man, we won't be seeing each other again."
As soon as he turned around, his body stiffened, and he fell face down on the ground.
"What's happening... I can't move suddenly..."
---
A quarter of an hour later.
An old man, a young man, and a teenager were mercilessly thrown into the county jail.
The Shuangliu Street County Office was the smallest and least lucrative in the capital. Not only had the officials and patrols never seen a high-ranking official, but even the county magistrate himself had never encountered one.
Although Lu Yuan could reveal his identity, did he want to lose face?
A grand marshal of the first rank had eaten without paying and fled three streets.
Zongzheng Xi sat in the cell, looking aggrieved.
Which emperor, on his first day of incognito inspection, had ended up in jail?
Only the old farmer lay on the ground, carefree, with his legs crossed, a dry piece of grass hanging from his mouth.
Lu Yuan leaned against the wall, lazily bending one leg, and glanced at the old farmer, "You don't seem worried."
The old farmer, with his hands behind his head, nonchalantly said, "I'll be out soon. What's there to worry about?"
Lu Yuan smiled faintly. "You sound pretty impressive."
The old farmer asked, "Kid, what medicine did you give me just now? Why can't I use my martial arts skills suddenly?"
Otherwise, even with ten large nets, they couldn't capture him.
Lu Yuan spoke casually, "First, answer me. What did you do to me that suddenly made me unable to move?"
The old farmer replied, "I won't tell you."
Lu Yuan said, "Then I won't tell you either."
Zong Zhengxi, the little crybaby, exclaimed, "Are you two ever going to stop arguing?"
The old farmer said, "Kid, if you beg me, I'll take you and your brother out later."
Lu Yuan smiled, his lips curving. "Maybe later, it'll be you begging me."
The old farmer sighed. "That's not right. I'm an old man. When have I ever had to beg someone? You young people should respect your elders. Don't you have any elders in your family?"
Lu Yuan said, "You're not one of my family's elders."
The old farmer was speechless.
"What are you arguing about?" The guard on duty was getting annoyed by the commotion and shouted, "You look like decent people, but you're trying to scam a meal at the restaurant. Are you missing hands or feet? I warn you, you can only leave after paying the ransom, or you'll rot in jail!"
Zong Zhengxi sobbed, "This is so embarrassing."
The old farmer comforted him, "It's okay. It's just a jail. From now on, we'll be friends who've been in prison together!"
Zong Zhengxi moved aside, "I don't want that kind of friendship."
The rejected old farmer was speechless.
Meng Qianqian had visited the Princess Mansion today to fulfill her bet with Princess Wanping. She then went to the Wang family with Zhou Nanyan and Lin Xiaoru to visit Lady Wang, who was pregnant.
Liu Qingyun was invited by Princess Wanping to go boating.
When Meng Qianqian returned home, Liu Qingyun hadn't come back yet, and Lu Yuan was also missing.
"What's going on today?"
Soon, Yu Zichuan returned and said, "Madam, the Grand Marshal has been arrested."
"What happened to him?"
"He ate without paying."
Meng Qianqian was speechless.
She quickly took the ransom money and went to the county office to bail him out.
Just as she arrived at the entrance, she bumped into Liu Qingyun, who had rushed over.
"Mother?"
Meng Qianqian looked at her in surprise. "Are you here to bail someone out too?"
Had Yu Zichuan also gone to find Liu Qingyun? Upon hearing the word "too," Liu Qingyun also felt a sense of surprise.
What's going on?
Did they look for Ah Yuan? Did Ah Yuan tell this girl?
"Ah."
Liu Qingyun felt that something was amiss and nodded awkwardly.
Meng Qianqian asked, "Then, together?"
Liu Qingyun nodded in agreement.
The scholarly advisor was summoned, and seeing that the two were dressed appropriately and didn't appear to be ordinary people, he thought of the three scammers and lost his temper with them.
"Five hundred taels each!"
"We're here to bail two people."
"We're here to bail two people."
The two spoke in unison.
Liu Qingyun pushed away Meng Qianqian's silver ticket and gave the advisor a thousand taels.
The advisor instructed the patrolman, "Take them to get the prisoners."
In the prison corridor, the guard opened the cell door and said, "Someone's here to bail you out!"
The three stood up.
The guard said, "Wait, only two have been bailed."
Lu Yuan said to Zong Zhengxi, "Let's go."
At almost the same moment, the old farmer grabbed Zong Zhengxi's hand and said the exact same words.
Zong Zhengxi looked at the two, his face full of confusion.
The guard asked, "Who are you bailing, then?"
The old farmer said, "Of course, it's me!"
Lu Yuan hummed.
At this moment, Meng Qianqian and Liu Qingyun arrived.
Liu Qingyun walked in front.
The old farmer saw her and couldn't contain his excitement. "Haha! My daughter is here!"
"What daughter? You dare to run into the prison cell and still have the face to say that, making me come in the middle of the night to bail you out..."
As soon as Liu Qingyun entered the cell and saw Lu Yuan, she was startled, "Son! How did you get here too? Are you here to bail your maternal grandfather too?"
"Son? Maternal grandfather?"
The old farmer frowned and glanced at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan also looked back at the old farmer.
Their eyes met.
The sky above their heads seemed to collapse—
Late, late, please give me a monthly ticket.
