At the entrance of the county government office, Yu Xiangmei held a pair of scissors around her neck, and said to the government servant, "Let Wu Bai come out and meet me."
The yamen was stunned for a moment by her behavior. Fortunately, he had already received the news, so he didn't panic, but calmly said to Xiangmei: "Our lord ordered you to come in as long as you come."
Hearing this, Yu Xiangmei was stunned for a moment, and then wept with joy: "I knew that Brother Bai was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted man, he forgave me—"
She spoke, but she didn't stop. She took the scissors off her neck and put them in her sleeves, and then quickly followed the footsteps of the yamen and walked into the county government office.
It was the same side hall as before, Wu Bai was sitting on the upper chair drinking tea, this time Xiao Zimo was also sitting beside him.
.Seeing Wu Bai, Yu Xiangmei smiled and said, "Brother Bai, I knew you were soft-hearted and couldn't bear to be separated from my mother and son."
"Heh—" Wu Bai chuckled, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her, and said, "You have such a thick skin, I didn't intend to forgive you, but I just couldn't bear to let the county government's gate be tarnished by you."
"Don't you want to threaten me with suicide? Now I'm here, you can do it." Wu Bai glanced at her sleeve.
"Brother Bai, I don't understand what you are talking about." Yu Xiangmei hid her right hand behind her back.
"I don't understand, right?" Wu Bai raised his hand and clapped his hands twice, and soon a servant brought in a man with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Yu Xiangmei took a closer look and shouted, "Baofu!"
.Wu Bai pointed to Feng Baofu on the ground and asked, "Do you understand now?"
Seeing Feng Baofu's miserable appearance, Yu Xiangmei looked at Wu Bai angrily and said bitterly, "Why are you so cruel, he is your brother, why are you doing this to him!"
"I'm cruel? Isn't he even more cruel? He is willing to let you die, do you really have no complaints?" Wu Bai said.
Hearing this, Yu Xiangmei's face changed. Although it was unclear how Wu Bai knew about the conversation between their mother and son in the alley just now, this did not prevent her from defending Feng Baofu.
She retorted: "No, Baofu didn't let me die. He was just joking. Baofu is the most filial. Unlike you, he is a cold-blooded animal who never gave me a good look."
.As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zimo's face also became ugly, he quickly clenched Wu Bai's hand and signaled him not to be sad about this.
Wu Bai patted the back of his hand, indicating that he was not sad.
Xiao Zimo looked at him carefully and found that he was really not sad, so he was relieved.
Of course, he didn't feel that Wu Bai was so cold-blooded, but he felt that people like Yu Xiangmei were not worthy of Wu Bai's uncomfortable words for her.
"Mother, it hurts so much—" Feng Baofu rolled on the ground in pain.
"Don't be afraid, mother will take you to see the doctor." Yu Xiangmei crouched down, trying to help Feng Baofu to leave.
"Wait a minute." Wu Bai shouted.
Yu Xiangmei turned to look at Wu Bai with disgust in her eyes, and said, "What else do you want to do?"
."I don't want to do anything, I just want to remind you that if you come to the county office with scissors or other sharp knives and want to do something in the future, then don't blame me for being too hard on you, the apex treasure, come here once , I'll beat him once."
"Remember, it's not that I won't let him go, but that your mother doesn't care for him enough." Wu Bai smiled at Yu Xiangmei.
Yu Xiangmei didn't speak, she snorted and helped Feng Baofu, who was screaming in pain, and left.
Since this time, Wu Bai's ears have become much quieter. Only once in a while he happened to see Yu Xiangmei on the street. As soon as the other party saw him, he turned around and ran away, but Wu Bai saw that she was thinner than before. She looked like she knew that she should have suffered a lot in the Feng family.
.At this moment, as soon as Yu Xiangmei and her son left, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to Tianxianglou and ordered Wu Bai's favorite sweet and sour pork loin, hoping that the other party would leave all the unpleasant things behind the food. .
"How do you know I love this dish?" Wu Bai looked surprised.
Xiao Zimo smiled mysteriously, and said, "I just know..." You talked about the name of this dish in your dream last night.
Wu Bai didn't know that he was so greedy in his dream. He thought that he had said it accidentally before and was written down by Xiao Zimo, so Xiao Zimo would only know now that he likes sweet and sour pork loin.
"Well, this sweet and sour pork loin is really good and delicious." Wu Bai couldn't raise his head.
"Eat slowly, I'll bring you next time." Xiao Zimo poured him a glass of water.
.After eating, the two decided to go for a walk, and Xiao Zimo remembered that he hadn't gone out and walked with Wu Bai for a long time.
After listening to his annoyance, Wu Bai comforted: "I know that you had a lot of things some time ago, not only to deal with the mess left by the previous county magistrate, but also to worry about the bandits, I didn't blame you, you don't have to blame yourself, um , Well, if you really want to compensate me, then go buy me two candied haws."
Looking down Wu Bai's hand, Xiao Zimo really saw a peddler carrying a large string of candied haws for sale.
Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai's hand and walked in front of the man together, saying, "Old man, give me two strings of candied haws."
"Hao Le!" The hawker quickly took down two candied haws and handed them to Xiao Zimo. After receiving the copper coins, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Here, husband." Xiao Zimo handed the two candied haws in his hand to Wu Bai.
.Wu Bai took one and said with a smile, "I only need one, and the other belongs to you."
"Okay." Xiao Zimo saw that Wu Bai had already started eating, and took a bite of the candied gourd in his hand.
"Hmm—why is it so sour?" Xiao Zimo said depressedly, covering his cheeks.
"It's not sour, I think it's very sweet." Wu Bai took another bite, and quickly ate all the candied haws in his hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Zimo gave him a thumbs up, it was so powerful, so sour, he could even eat it.
Then, he handed the one in his hand to the eyeing Wu Bai.
Wu Bai accepted it with satisfaction.
Since this time, Wu Bai found that he seemed to like more food, and he had to tell Wanfeng to buy him a few every day.
...
."Dong Dong Dong——" A drum sound resounded throughout the county.
Xiao Zimo hurriedly came to the lobby of the county government office. At this time, the officials had already brought in all the drummers.
That's right, there's more than one drummer.
When they saw Xiao Zimo sitting down after the case, they quickly knelt down and said, "Meet Your Excellency."
"Why are you beating the drums?" Xiao Zimo asked.
"My lord, we are all here to avenge our grievances, and I want to ask your lord to do justice for us." One of them knelt forward half a step and said kowtow.
"Who are your surnames and who are you suing? Tell me in detail." Xiao Zimo ordered.
"My lord, I am Wang Wu from Liujiacun, he is Li Qian from Zhangjiacun, and they are... We are here to sue Tan Tianyu."
.Hearing who they were talking about, Xiao Zimo was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What are you suing him for?"
"My lord, Xiaomin wants to sue him for occupying our fertile land!"
"My lord, I'm going to sue him for buying and selling my shop by force!"
"And me, I'm going to sue him for poisoning people in order to steal business!"
"……And I……"
For what they said, Xiao Zimo had them all recorded.
"Someone, go and bring Tan Tianyu—" Xiao Zimo threw out a sign and instructed.
"Yes, my lord." Several yamen quickly ran to Tan Tianyu's house.
.After a while, I saw a yamen running to report: "Sir, Tan Tianyu is not in the county at the moment, and his subordinates asked his servants, and they said that he went to Xushan Village for employment, and the other brothers have already gone to Xushan Village, My subordinates came back to report to your lord on purpose."
Xiao Zimo pondered for a while, said that he would try again later, and left the court first.
Those who came to sue Tan Tianyu have no choice. Now that Tan Tianyu is not in the county seat, the adults cannot try the case. They can only temporarily give up and wait for the adults to be tried.
Xiao Zimo came to the back hall, and Wu Bai stepped forward and asked, "What happened just now?"
"Someone wants to sue Tan Tianyu for encroaching on Liangtian shops and other bad things. There are countless." Xiao Zimo said solemnly.
"Why do you look unhappy?"
."Tan Tianyu is not in the county seat at the moment. He went to Xushan Village for a betrothal gift, and he couldn't bring him to the court for interrogation for a while." Xiao Zimo replied.
Hearing this, Wu Bai rolled his eyes and said, "That's right, let's go to Xushan Village to see the excitement?"
"I have already sent the yamen to get him, so let's not go!" Xiao Zimo shook his head.
"The yamen must be riding in a carriage, the two of us can ride horses, so it's faster, plus that Tan Tianyu has so many dowry gifts, he must be walking fast, maybe the two of us can go to Xushan Village before him! ' Wu Bai suggested.
Seeing Wu Bai's eagerness to watch a good show, Xiao Zimo pinched his nose helplessly and said, "Okay, it's up to you this time."
.Xiao Zimo quickly changed into the official uniform, and the two of them rode a horse and hurried towards Xushan Village. As expected, they passed the yamen who drove the carriage.
"The two people seemed to be the magistrate and his husband just now?" said a yamen, wiping his eyes.
"You read that right, it's them."
"Why are they both here?"
The yamen who was carrying the carriage replied, "I don't know." The speed of his subordinates driving the carriage also accelerated.
Wu Bai and the others came to Xushan Village at the right time. Tan Tianyu had just arrived at Shi Le's house with the betrothal gift, and had just carried the betrothal gift into the yard for storage.
Many villagers gathered around the Shi family and said, "This Shi Le's luck is too good!"
"Yeah, look at these betrothal gifts, put them one after another, can this small yard of his house hold them?"
."I wonder how much these things are worth?"
"I heard that Tan Tianyu is the richest man in the county, and his family's money and valuables can't be piled up. It just happened to be delivered to Shijiateng."
"Oh my God, so many, then this betrothal gift is a sky-high price!" Many people sighed.
The crowd was discussing happily, and suddenly someone looked at the back and exclaimed, "Brother Bai!!"
No one in the village didn't know Wu Bai's name now. When they heard someone calling Wu Bai's name, they all looked around for it.
As soon as Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo turned over from their horses, they heard someone calling their name. Wu Bai looked towards the source of the sound, but it was Wu Huilan.
When Wu Huilan saw Wu Bai looking at her, she was so frightened that she quickly turned her head to the other side.
.The same goes for the rest of the Wu family next to her, who did not dare to look at Wu Bai for fear that they would be caught in the prison and then beheaded.
Since they returned to the village that time, they have had nightmares for a long time, and they have only gotten better recently. Unexpectedly, Wu Bai came to Xushan Village in person.
Seeing Wu Bai holding Xiao Zimo's hand, the villagers all understood that this was the county magistrate, and hurriedly knelt down to salute him.
Xiao Zimo raised his hand to get them up, then led Wu Bai through the crowd and into the Shi's courtyard.
At this time, Tan Tianyu inside the house also noticed that something was wrong outside. He was about to come out to check when he saw the husband and wife Wu Bai walking into the yard.
Seeing them, Tan Tianyu was first surprised, and then greeted him with a smile: "I have seen the magistrate, why did the magistrate come to Xushan Village today?"
"We are here for you.Xiao Zimo replied.
"For me?" Tan Tianyu was puzzled.
"Yes, someone sued you for oppressing good people, occupying their fields, shops, etc. We are here to take you back for interrogation." Xiao Zimo said truthfully while staring at Tan Tianyu's reaction.
Tan Tianyu's face changed slightly, but he recovered quickly, and said with a smile: "Hahaha... Sir, stop joking with Tan, not to mention that Tan didn't do those things, even if he did, it wouldn't be his turn. My lord, if you come to arrest me, I will be tried!"
Wu Bai stepped forward, spread his hands and said, "That disappoints you. We really came to take you back for trial."
Hearing this, Tan Tianyu looked at Wu Bai in front of him, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
