Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall knew that the infamous Qingtian, Luo Lingwei, would finally be able to wash away her grievances. They could not help but cry out in excitement.

"Please avenge this humble one!"

The one crying in the hall was the old woman he had seen earlier today. Luo Lingwei comforted him, "Old man, don't worry. Tell me slowly."

"Yes." The old woman nodded and told Luo Lingwei the reason.

It turned out that the people who had come to complain were a villager named Chang Clan Village in the nearby Peng County. The villagers were basically all from the same family. This old lady was also a bitter person. When her third son was born, her husband had said that he was going to the nearby river to catch a fish to mend his body, but he had never thought that he would drown in the river. As for the eldest son of the Zhou family, when he was sixteen, because his family was poor, he went to join the army. He only wanted to earn some benefits for his family, but didn't want to die in the army. Although his second son, Chang Yu, was the number two in the family, he was actually the boss.

Chang Yu was a famous good person in the village. No matter which family in the village had an issue, he would go and help them. Thus, every household in the village liked this young man.

Chang Yu was in her early twenties this year, and even though the young man looked good, he still didn't have a family. It was just that his family was poor and he didn't have the money to get a wife. Furthermore, Chang Yu had a thirteen year old brother to support, so he didn't think about marriage.

Just like this, even though the family was suffering, they were still able to live a decent life. In addition, Chang Yu's little brother, Chang Bao, had also grown up. Being able to help out the family, the days of the Chang Clan gradually improved.

As Chang Bao was helping the family with farming, Chang Yu went to the county town to find a small shop to work for them.

As a result, the family's life was getting better and better. Madame Zhou had even saved up enough money to secretly contact the matchmaker in the nearby village to propose marriage to Chang Yu.

However, during these past few days, Madame Zhou had discovered that every time Chang Yu returned home, there seemed to be something on her mind. However, she would not ask him about it. Madam Zhou thought that Changyu had suffered because of her work in the county, so she didn't pay much attention to it and only comforted her.

However, just like this, in less than a month, on this day, as Madame Zhou was tidying up the house, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Aunt!" Something happened! Something's happened! "

When Madame Zhou heard this, she thought that her little son had been mischievous and beaten up another child. As a result, she hurriedly left the room without paying too much attention to it. He walked to the door and said with a smile, "Gangzi, you're here. Come, let's drink a bowl of water in the room."

She picked up the bowl and was about to pour some water for him.

Unexpectedly, Gangzi stamped his foot and said, "Quickly, stop drinking the water! Hurry up and call Little Treasure to come with me to the county town! Something happened to Yu Zi!

When Madame Zhou heard this, her heart thumped, and the earthen bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a "hualala" sound. She also felt dizzy, and her mind was buzzing.

Even so, Madame Zhou still felt that she had called her youngest son to go with her to the county.

Madam Zhou followed the messenger and arrived at the city. When they arrived outside the city, they saw a few people drinking tea at a tea stand outside the city gates. When Madame Zhou approached, the few people stepped forward and sized her up.

"Are you the mother of Chang Yu?" A messenger said.

The Zhou family saw that they were lacking, so they said politely, "Yes, Chang Yu is this lowly one's son. May I ask Masters, what crime has my son committed? "

Hearing that, the messenger snorted coldly and said: "Your son tried to take advantage of the Yang family's daughter, but failed at raping her. Instead, he killed her. If you refuse a crime in the court, you will be beaten to death by the county magistrate.

When Madame Zhou heard this, she felt as if the sky had collapsed. She immediately felt her vision darken, and she fainted onto the ground.

By the time Madame Zhou woke up, it was already midnight. After Mrs. Zhou woke up, she found herself at home with her youngest son sleeping beside her. There were whispers outside the hall. Madame Zhou suddenly remembered that she had heard these words in the daytime. Her entire body quivered as she sat up. Without a care, she ran out of the hall.

When he arrived at the hall, he saw a person lying on the floor, wrapped in grass. Madam Zhou looked at that person's face and saw that his face was green without any trace of anger. It was her second son.

Madame Zhou felt as if all her energy had been sucked out of her. She immediately sat on the ground and started to wail.

At this moment, Zhou's younger brother was sitting by a table.

As for Little Changbao, who had fallen asleep by Madame Zhou's side earlier, he had also woken up at this moment. He walked out of the room, and when he saw his mother crying beside his brother's corpse, he couldn't help but feel sorrowful.

"Oh, what a sin! "What should we do in the future with such a good family?"

The next day, the news spread throughout the entire village. Many people knew that Chang Yu had killed the daughter of an outsider. However, the people of Chang Village did not believe that Chang Yu was such a person. Even the village chief did not think that Chang Yu would do such a thing. As the chief of the Chang Clan's village and the leader of the Chang Clan, he called for the entire clan to go to the county to seek justice for Chang Yu.

Just like that, the men from Chang Clan Village aggressively went to the county town. This frightened the county magistrate, and he ordered the third class of bailiffs to release them from jail. Hence, the simple case had become complicated in an instant. If the Chang Clan were to be sent to prison, they would definitely be unwilling to do so. Thus, they had arranged for a dozen more people to carry Chang Yu's corpse to Yan Prefecture to seek redress for their wrongdoings. And this Prefecture Overseer, in order to cover up the shame of his comrades, beat up these people who had come to redress their grievances without saying a word. He wanted to close the case hastily. Unexpectedly, they coincidentally bumped into Luo Lingwei.

After Luo Lingwei heard this, she nodded her head and said to the woman, "Old man, I already know that we are leaving for your county now. I will find out about this case and give justice to the deceased!"

When the old woman heard this, she kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude. The Prefect at the side was already sweating profusely. Just as expected, Luo Lingwei glanced at him as he was burning with anxiety, not knowing how Luo Lingwei would deal with him. She said in a cold voice, "As a country's father and mother, I do not think about making decisions for the people. I only think about how to protect my comrades.

The Prefecture Overseer immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"This official knows his crimes and this official will spare your life!" Empress, please spare my life! "
