Everyone looked over to see a young man standing in the middle. He was dressed in a green robe and was walking in a neat row.
When had the surrounding villagers ever seen such a formation before? Furthermore, when they saw that the man was extraordinarily handsome and had a heavenly appearance, it was as if there were clouds and mud separating him from a country bumpkin.
Zhang Shi who was interrupted felt unhappy in her heart. Seeing more than a dozen brawny men crowd around the man who looked like a master, she had a plan in her heart.
Without waiting for the man in the lead to speak, she rushed over and knelt on the yellow ground, "Master Qing Tian, you have to avenge this humble woman!"
Liu Yuan had originally been appointed by the imperial government to provide disaster relief in Qing He County. He went to several other villages, but when he arrived at An'an Village, he saw the villagers gathered at one end, and immediately rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
"Who and what did you report?"
Mistress Zhang did not care about making a fool out of herself. She bowed her head and pretended to be pitiful, "How can such a carefree person come out of our An Ran village? Take a look, milord, this hunter's wife is ordering her son to steal things and beat people up! There is really no justice! "
Su Zhi paid attention to every movement outside the door. Only after she made sure that Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to do anything to her without permission did she open the door latch.
"Sir!" This is not what the Zhang family is talking about, please enlighten us, Sir. "
The gate was opened and a lady with snow-white skin and bright eyes and white teeth walked out of the courtyard.
She stood up straight, very different from the village women gathered together to watch the fun with ill intentions.
Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What exactly happened? Both of you just blurted it out without thinking."
Su Zhi asked, "May I ask if Sir is a County Magistrate of Qing He County?"
He shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and said to the crowd: "I am the relief inspector of His Majesty the Emperor. I come specifically for the people of Qing He County. My surname is Liu Yu An."
Upon hearing these words, the only literate old man in the village turned pale with fright. He hurried forward to pay his respects, "So it's Lord Liu, it's my disrespect."
Tranquil Village was a remote and remote place with mountains, emperors, and emperors. The village was covered up. Most people did not know of Lord Liu's origins, but the old mister did.
From head to toe, the Liu surname was unique.
The three generations of the Liu Family were all court officials. The current head of the Liu Family had a good character and was an official with a clean heart. His Majesty favored him and he might be the next Prime Minister.
When the villagers saw the esteemed old man bow first, they knew that this young patrolman in front of them was not an ordinary person and all knelt down to pay their respects.
Having received the assurance of her identity, Su Zhi calmed down and bowed, "Master, the cause of the matter was my family's A Jin going out to look for food while the commoner was sick in bed. She found a sweet potato in her own field, and upon seeing the situation, the son of the Zhang family tried to snatch it away. "It's not right to hurt her, but the son of the Zhang family bullied him first, and A Jin tried to protect himself, so there was nothing wrong with that."
After hearing the report, Liu Yuan's expression didn't change, but he nodded slightly.
Mrs Zhang refused to comply and retorted, "Pui, how shameless are you? Your man has been a hunter for three generations, how could he grow sweet potatoes from his two acres of thin land? Why don't you just say it's real gold and silver. "
Of the two people in the court, one was sharp-tongued and the other was calm and composed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mrs. Zhang was bullying the hunter's wife.
Liu Yuan understood the cause of the matter and quietly avoided the spitting Zhang clan. He said righteously, "Since it's because of the two children, we'll bring them here to interrogate."
Su Zhi nodded and called for A Jin, who was in the room. Liu Yu An saw that although the child's face was yellow and skinny, his bearing was no different from his mother's, and he was extremely skilled at standing.
The Zhang family's youngest son usually bullied his village's child who was the same age as him. He was a typical little bully. Today, seeing a stranger in official uniform, he cowered behind Zhang family without daring to make a sound.
"Come here, I want to ask a few questions."
He tried his best to lower his voice, but the son of the Zhang family still didn't dare to step forward. On the other hand, Jin took a step forward despite her fear.
"Greetings to the lord."
"Mm, good boy. "Tell me, where did you dig up that sweet potato, and was there a witness?"
"Sir, it's A Jin's father's Tian Li. At that time, it was only me and Zhang Dang who were together. When he saw the sweet potatoes in my hands, he came over to snatch them away. If I didn't want to, he would have attacked me."
Zhang Wenfang pushed her child away and screamed, "Pah! Kids don't know shit! Do you know where this is your family's property?"
A Jin pointed at the barren land at the village entrance, rolling her bright big eyes. "Could it be that the whole world belongs to the Emperor? None of the lands belong to Ah Jin, but I've borrowed that piece of land from father's family for generations, I'm not mistaken, Ah Jin."
Such a clever child, able to speak well.
Liu Yuen smiled faintly.
"This kid is pretty smart, but did he go to school?"
