Xiao Rui and others also immediately picked up the knives in their hands on alert and were ready for a fight to the death.

Yao Shu was worried that if the two really got into a fight, and Mr. Li counterattacked, insisting that Xiao Rui was really a bandit, then there would be no way to clear the suspicion.

Thinking of this, Yao Shu spoke softly: "Master Li deliberately aroused everyone's anger, and then when everyone raised their weapons, he insisted that everyone was a bandit. Am I right?"

Mr. Li did not expect that his intentions would be noticed by Yao Shu so easily. He sneered subconsciously and said, "So what?"

His reaction aroused the anger of other villagers in the village. Everyone wanted to rise up and beat Mr. Li now.

It was just that Yao Shu stood in front of them, suppressing their steps and preventing them from moving forward. This also greatly prevented the villagers from impulsively attacking Mr. Li.

At this point, the two began to reach an impasse.

Mr. Li was furious and thought that by threatening Yao Shu with accusations, she would be intimidated. Unexpectedly, Yao Shu not only had no reaction, but also stood firmly in front of the villagers, refusing to give in.

Thinking of this, Mr. Li wanted to execute Yao Shu directly.

Seeing her appearance at this moment, Mr. Li was extremely anxious but had no choice.

If he really waited for officials to show up, he would definitely not be able to continue completing his plan.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Mr. Li couldn't bear it anymore and decided to capture the stronghold by force.

"It's getting late. It's all Mrs. Shen's fault to let the brothers go to bed early." After saying that, Mr. Li raised his hand again, "Brothers, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds is right in front of you. Go ahead."

Hearing this, everyone else felt as if they were on fire and couldn't wait to rush forward.

Yao Shu wanted to stop them, but Xiao Rui grabbed her wrist: "Mrs. Shen, I know you are doing it for our own good. But as a man, if you can't protect your home, what's the point of this life?"

Yao Shu's eyes were red. She knew that these people in the village were good people with love and righteousness.

As long as they persist a little longer, they can wait for officials who insist on justice for them.

However, the moment Mr. Li raised his hand, there was no room for redemption.

She looked at the children hiding behind the woman, unable to look directly into their clear eyes.

At this moment, their eyes were full of doubts.

They don't understand what mistake they have made to have their homeland slaughtered; nor do they understand what they can do to save their homeland.

He turned to look at Shen Qiu's location, only to find that he had disappeared.

Xiao Rui introduced and explained: "I just ordered someone to take him away. It is not suitable for him to appear on this occasion. I don't know if he will raise a knife to attack one of our own people, but we don't want to Seeing his troubled appearance, I locked him up so that if any court officials really came here, I could defend him."

After saying that, he looked at the two people aside and motioned for them to take Yao Shu away.

"Have you really thought about it? Once you rush in, there will be no turning back." This was the last time Yao Shu begged him. She held Xiao Rui's hands tightly, shook her head slowly, and signaled to him Don't go.

Xiao Rui nodded, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "It doesn't matter, at least I know that Mrs. Shen will definitely clear our name in the future."

After saying that, he asked the two people to take Yao Shu away immediately.

Seeing that Yao Shu was about to be taken to the room, the war was about to break out.

At the critical moment, Shen Nanshan's voice suddenly came over: "Stop! The inspector has ordered everyone to put down their weapons and wait for the inspector's decision."

Shen Nanshan raised the token in his hand while running.

After a while, two people slowly walked up behind him, with very anxious expressions on their faces. Seeing that everyone was standing here peacefully, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Among them, the man in red clothes is the official who sealed them.

After receiving the news from Shen Nanshan, they immediately walked out of the inn and came to the village without stopping.

On the way, Shen Nanshan told them many things about the village, which moved the inspector.

The inspector was determined to prove it for them.

Seeing the inspector appear here, the smile on Mr. Li's face froze.

He glared angrily at Yao Shu who was not far away, and looked at the inspector with gritted teeth: "Inspector, I didn't expect you to arrive so early today. Your Excellency came just in time. I was ordered to encircle and suppress the bandits. Your Excellency came here this time. You might as well be a witness for me.”

After saying that, he immediately turned to look at Yao Shu.

"Mrs. Shen is also here. It just so happens that Mrs. Shen can also testify for me."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Rui not far away provocatively: "I wonder if this eldest brother in the village has anything to say?"

"On the way here, Brother Nanshan told me about the origin of the village. There are still many things that need to be discussed. Since Mr. Li does not have a search warrant or an arrest warrant, don't be so anxious for the time being."

The inspector's words meant that this matter would be left to him to handle with full authority.

Hearing him say such words, Yao Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled heartily and thanked the inspector.

The inspector also shook his head slightly: "This is what I should do. Mrs. Shen has suffered a lot of grievances here this time. When he returns to Beijing and resumes his duties, I will tell the emperor everything. When he arrives. At that time, the emperor will definitely appreciate the Shen family very much."

The inspector is the Prime Minister's man, so he will naturally protect the Shen family.

In addition, he would also observe the political situation in the court and everyone's actions on weekdays. After observing him for such a long time, I can confirm that the Shen family is trustworthy.

That night was destined to be a sleepless night.

But fortunately, the inspector only spent one night and proved it for the village.

The Inspector finally concluded that the reason why the village became what it is today was because it was forced to be destroyed due to objective reasons, and no one in the village had to bear any problems.

But the village looked like a bandit after all, so the inspector turned the house into a village and named it Jiuchang Village.

The purpose is to hope that the village can be passed down for a long time, and the people living in it can be safe and happy for a long time.

The people in the village were very happy about this change, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

Shen Fugui was also temporarily appointed as Pingsi, and continued to go to the north to provide disaster relief and appease the refugees.

In order to thank them for their contribution, the villagers prepared a lot of dry food and luggage for them.
