Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Within a radius of a hundred miles, Chenjia Village is one of the best. Among the ordinary villagers, if there is a leader of the Chen family, he is already a person that no one can offend.

Just because everyone still has a lot of things that need the help of the Li Chief. Just the annual taxes and corvee. The power to deal with these two things is enough for Chen Li Chang to walk around in the four miles and eight villages. It is said that there are also Other trivia.

As a grassroots manager, the head still has a lot of authority in his hands. Although he cannot accomplish any big things, he can still be enough to hinder others.

If in normal times, when Chen Lichang took his clansmen to other villages, someone would definitely lead the clansmen out to greet him. Such a situation would never happen today. The people in Dahezhuang had no intention of welcoming him, but instead He was still blocking the entrance to the village, as if he was not welcome.

This is really a first time.

Chen Lichang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. These people didn't even take him seriously. How dare a refugee from other places be so arrogant.

"Chief, I know I was wrong. Please save me. I don't want to be sent to the government."

In the confrontation between the two parties, Chen Jinbao was the first to fail. When he finally saw the reinforcements, he couldn't wait to beg for mercy. If he hadn't been worried about being scolded by Chief Chen, he would have spoken long ago.

"Shut up!"

Chen Lichang glared at Chen Jinbao. This useless guy really didn't have a bright mind at all. No one had said anything yet, but he confessed first. How could he deal with saving people?

Before the negotiation even started, he was already one head behind the other party and had to take the initiative to reveal the purpose of his trip.

"I wonder who is the village chief of Dahe Village?"

"I am, you are?"

The village chief could vaguely guess the identity of Chen Lichang, but at this moment, it was better for him to pretend to be confused.

"I am the patriarch of the Chen family, and I am also the head of the village. It stands to reason that we will have many opportunities to interact with each other in the future. Even if there is nothing like today, I will find you in a few days when it is time to pay the personal tax."

"I've met the chief."

Faced with the threat from the village chief, the village chief did not give in at all. Although he felt a little guilty and worried about being embarrassed by the village chief in the future, he did not show any cowardice at this time.

They have done nothing wrong, and they are not afraid of shadows. There is no reason why they can't send the thief to the government.

This unwillingness to give in made Chen Lichang feel frustrated. He was quite frustrated, but there was nothing the people in Dahezhuang could do about it. Who told them to ignore him.

In order to avoid scandal in the Chen family, he could only handle the matter patiently.

"I see you are still tied up. Is there any misunderstanding? If there is any conflict, I can help resolve it."

"It's no trouble..."

Before the village chief could finish his words of rejection, he was interrupted by Chief Chen.

"Don't worry about troublesome me. It's my duty as the district chief to resolve conflicts for the people under my rule. I will handle it impartially."

It's not too obvious that he wants to keep the matter under wraps. If a thief is found in the Chen family, it will definitely be a big stain. The reputation he has managed to build with great difficulty will be stained with flaws. He also wants to further his official position. But we can't be dragged down by the trivial things committed by our clan members.

Faced with Chen Li Chang's strong attitude, the village chief gradually became unable to resist. In his opinion, everyone would still have to make a living under the Li Chief in the future. If this offended people to death, life would be difficult.

He was in a dilemma as to what to choose, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Yao Shu.

I'm just afraid that Yao Shu can give him some advice.

Compared with the village chief's dilemma, Yao Shu's idea remained unchanged from beginning to end. She must send the thief to the Yamen.

"I'm afraid this is not good. The thief Chen Jinbao is the leader of your tribe, so you should avoid suspicion. Otherwise, rumors will spread that you are unfair and partial to your tribe. That would be bad."

Yao Shu looked like she was thinking about Chen Lichang. Isn't it just superficial? Who wouldn't do it?

What Chen Lizhang cares about most is reputation. Compared with the poor moral character of his clan members, his official reputation is more important. He looked at Yao Shu seriously and lost his previous contempt.

"I will handle it impartially."

"Of course I believe you, but this man's words are terrible. If any bad rumors spread, it will cause trouble for you. Besides, Chen Jinbao's theft was a case of both people taking the stolen goods, so there's nothing good about it. If you are arguing, just send it to the government."

Yao Shu looked directly at Chen Lichang and said rationally.

It's a matter that they can handle. No matter what, as long as they are unwilling to compromise, Chen Lichang has nothing to do.

Unless he doesn't care about reputation and won't give up just by making bad rumors.

But Chen Jinbao is just a junior member of his clan. He has been out of the fifth server for a long time, and they are already relatives who have never been together during the New Year. Of course, he cannot save people regardless of it.

It's pretty good to be able to do this.

"What you said makes sense. It was because of my improper restraint as the clan leader that I allowed him to go to Dahe Village and commit theft."

"What does this have to do with you? It's Chen Jinbao who has a wrong mind."

In a few words, Chen Jinbao's subsequent disposition was determined, and Yao Shu successfully forced Chen Jinbao back who came to pick him up.

After knowing that he was about to be abandoned, Chen Jinbao felt sad and still kept begging.

"Chief, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please help me..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and Shen Nanshan just retracted his hand that stuffed a piece of cloth into Chen Jinbao's mouth. Feeling everyone's gaze, he explained.

"This person's voice is so noisy that it makes my brain hurt."

"well done."

Yao Shu praised Shen Nanshan. No one wanted to hear Chen Jinbao begging for mercy. It was really annoying.

After Chen Lizhang left with the Chen family, Yao Shu also led the people out into the city. They went straight to the Yamen. When they arrived at the door of the Yamen, Yao Shu stopped.

No matter how dominant she was in Dahe Village, the world outside was still dominated by men, and Yao Shu could not even enter the court.

Of course she was extremely dissatisfied with such differential treatment, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything. She could only give the village chief a few words of advice.

"We are here to ask the county magistrate to make the decision. We have both stolen and stolen goods. We should seriously seek justice for ourselves. There is no need to panic. We have not committed any crime. It should be Chen Jinbao who is panicking."

"I understand, sister-in-law, don't worry."

The village chief nodded. Not only was he a big man, he was also the head of a village, so he would not be unable to handle such a small thing.
