After the villain in the whole family read my mind, his character fell apart

Yuchixi paused and looked over there, "What's going on?"

It’s lively and exciting!

Go and have a look.

Yuchi Xi lifted her skirt and ran over. Many people were also gathering here. Relying on her small stature, she squeezed in and out of the crowd and soon made her way to the front.

A group of yamen runners stood outside the county magistrate's mansion, knocking on the door, "Open the door!!"

"Don't you dare not open the door!!"

"We all know you're at the mansion!!"

"Give us back our hard-earned money!!"

"Give us back our monthly salary for the past few months!!"

……

Yuchi Xi was wondering what was going on when the people nearby started talking about it.

Someone asked, "Good brother, do you know what happened here?"

"You are from another place, right? This is not uncommon here."

"Yes, I'm from another place. I'd like to ask my dear brother for some advice. What happened?"

"It's the county magistrate who embezzled their monthly salary and hasn't paid them for several months. It's not easy for these yamen runners!"

"But you just have to see that the county magistrate will never come out. When they have made enough trouble, they will leave on their own. It has been like this for the past few months. What can we do? He is the county magistrate. If he makes too much trouble, he will not only lose his money but also his job!"

"This job of being a yamen runner is not something that everyone can do!"

The people standing by couldn't believe it. "If they don't even get paid monthly, why do they still want to work here?"

"Is this yamen runner's job really that good?"

"Hey! You don't understand this!" The good brother motioned him to lean closer and lowered his voice, "The girls in our county will first marry yamen runners. Yamen runners have some official connections, so they are different from ordinary people!"

"Besides, this bailiff works for the imperial court. How impressive would it be if he told others about it?"

"The county magistrate also knew this, which is why he embezzled their money."

People nearby: ...

"Then why don't you help them? Why don't they report to the court?"

"This is several months of hard-earned money!"

The good elder brother smiled mysteriously, "Ha! You don't understand this! How dare this county magistrate embezzle their money? Doesn't he have someone above him? All the letters he sent out have fallen into the sea!"

"How can we get to the imperial court?"

"As for us... the county magistrate has been very good to us and has not embezzled our money, so why should we meddle in his affairs? If we join in the commotion, we will be the ones who will be in trouble, so let's just watch the fun.

In this world, who doesn't want to protect themselves? "

The foreigner frowned, "But if you don't help them, will they still protect you with all their heart? You and them are in a relationship of mutual dependence..."

“Why not give them a helping hand?”

The people were silent.

What he said was true, but they had never thought about it in this way before.

Moreover, no one wants to offend the county magistrate. It is better to offend a lower-ranking official than a higher-ranking one.

What if their help doesn't work?

Yuchi Xi: So that’s what’s happening!

The yamen runners made a fuss for a long time, but the county magistrate did not come out. They looked at each other with anger in their eyes.

The people were ready to leave. "Let's go, let's go, everyone, disperse!"

"They're going back."

It's always like this, after a while of noise, they will disperse.

This estimate is no exception.

Just as they were about to leave, a yamen runner suddenly stepped forward, drew his knife, and put it on his neck, "County Magistrate! If you don't come out and face us, I will kill myself here and turn into a ghost to haunt you!!"

The people around him paused and looked towards him. The yamen runners beside him were also stunned and advised him, "Don't do that!"

"Think about it, you have parents and children to take care of, why would you do that?!"

"That's right, don't let it get to you!!"

The people were talking in low voices, "What's going on? Why did he do this? It seems like the other yamen runners didn't know he would do this!"

"He wants to force the county magistrate out by committing suicide!"

"Do you think the county magistrate will really come out?"

"I feel it's uncertain. How could the county magistrate possibly come out?"

They were whispering to each other, and none of them thought the county magistrate would really come out, nor did they think he would really kill them.

"You don't know, but the parents, wife and children of this yamen runner are all sick. It's not a serious illness, but he has no money to see a doctor, so he has to bear the cost. As time goes by, he has become ill. He has nowhere else to go, and he can't just watch his parents, wife and children die, right?"

"Then why doesn't he borrow money from someone?"

"Who can I borrow it from? If I borrow it from you, will you lend it to me?"

The person who asked this question fell silent after hearing him say this.

This...if I ask him to borrow money, he doesn’t have any money to lend me!

The yamen runner waited for a long time, but the county magistrate still didn't come out. He shouted, "I will commit suicide here today. I only ask the county magistrate to return my hard-earned money so that my parents, wife and children can go to get medical treatment!!"

After saying that, he was about to cut his neck with the blade, but fortunately, Yuchi Xi acted quickly and the stone in his hand directly knocked his sword away.

The sword in the yamen runner's hand was knocked away, and his hand was also numb. He looked at the people behind him with red eyes, "Who is it? Who wants to save me?! Why do you want to save me?!"

Yuchi Xi took a step forward, "It's me."

When the yamen runner saw that it was a little baby, he smiled bitterly and said, "Little girl, you don't know the situation at my home. I know you have good intentions and you can't bear to see people leave in front of you."

Most of these children have pure hearts, and she is willing to save him, so she must be a kind-hearted person.

"It's also my fault for not thinking it through. There are so many children here. It's really not a good idea for me to commit suicide here."

"But don't worry, even if I become a ghost, I won't harm innocent people like you."

Yuchi Xi walked forward and did not answer him, but kicked the door of the county magistrate's mansion open.

She took a deep breath, pasted a talisman on herself, and shouted, "Someone is about to commit suicide in front of your house. Are you blind or deaf, County Magistrate?!"

People around: ! ! (wДw)

How dare she! !

The bailiff was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled her, "Little girl, thank you for your kindness! But you can't take the lead in this matter!"

Jing Huaian grabbed the hand of the yamen runner and prevented him from touching Yuchixi. "Our young lady has her reasons for doing this."

"Just stay aside quietly."

Yuchixi turned and smiled at him, "It's okay, I'll help you get justice."

The bailiff wanted to cry, he was so moved that he wanted to cry. It was the first time someone said these words to him, and the person who said these words was a child!

The door had been kicked down, so the county magistrate had no choice but to come out. He walked out in his official uniform, his eyes scornful, "Who dares to be so arrogant in front of my county magistrate's mansion?!"

"Don't you see where this is? How can you be so arrogant?!"

Yuchi Xi burst out laughing when he heard this, "There is no place in the Yuan Kingdom where I cannot be arrogant."

She took out her token and threw it in front of him, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
