After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 478 Abandoned

……

Other families’ reunions were filled with joy, but Wu Xingzu’s family almost broke up.

Wu Laoer and his wife were still worried about Wu Xingzong's matter. The next morning, the county government came to the inn where they were staying to inform them.

"Wu Laoer, Wu Fengshi, come with us to the government office immediately. Someone in your family has committed a crime again!"

The yamen runner shouted, and the innkeeper was so angry that he drove Wu Laoer and his wife away directly: "Please put away your gifts and don't come here again. We won't charge you for the food and accommodation for this half day."

Get out of here right now! You’re ruining the reputation of our Renshan Inn!

The innkeeper also slipped ten cents into the yamen runner's pocket.

The yamen runner understood and said, "Since the host is unwilling to entertain you, you have no right to stay here by force. Pack up your things and follow us to the yamen."

"Come quickly, come quickly, the Wu Laoer and his wife in Taifeng Town are in trouble again!" People who like to watch the fun shouted, and many people rushed to the inn after hearing it.

Wu Laoer and his wife were extremely ashamed and angry, and hurriedly said to the yamen runner: "We will go out the back door and will definitely report to the yamen."

Having said that, he hurried to the house where he lived.

The two men had gloomy faces and cursed Wu Xingzong while packing their things.

Wu Fengshi: "This time when we go to the county government, we'll ask him to write an IOU. After we pay him the money, we'll immediately set off back to the city and ask Xingdi to return the money we paid for the compensation. Then we'll stay away from Wu Xingzong from now on. Do you hear me?!"

Unless Wu Xingzong is still useful to them, Wu Fengshi will never bother with Wu Xingzong again even if she dies.

As for Wu Xingdi, they still had to keep in touch. After all, no matter how small the Lin family was, it was still a piece of meat. If one worked hard, one could get something out of it to supplement one's own family.

"Got it." Wu Laoer also wished that Wu Xingzong would die immediately. After packing up their things, the two of them sneaked out of the inn and went to the county government office.

After arriving at the county government office, they found out that the perpetrator was not Wu Xingzong, but their own son Wu Xingzu!

Wu Laoer was shocked: "Officer, did you get the wrong person? My son is a scholar, how could he have committed a crime... Then the culprit must be Wu Xingzong, right?"

The bailiff rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are not mistaken. It is your son Wu Xingzu who committed a crime and was just brought here from Taifeng Town."

"Isn't that right? But my son is simple-minded and only cares about reading books of sages..."

"Shut up, stop embarrassing yourself, and come in with the old man!" The fifth elder of the Wu clan broke the second elder Wu's fantasy: "He paid Mrs. Cao to spread rumors about the Qin family, saying that the Qin family had taken away the treasures of our locals, and the idle people in the town almost went to the Qin family in droves to cause trouble! He was publicly exposed by Mrs. Cao, and there are witnesses and evidence, so he can't deny it!"

"The Qin family? The Qin family again. Our Wu family has never done anything to let the Qin family down. Why are all the disasters our family encounters related to the Qin family? The Qin family can't let our Wu family go!" Wu Laoer blurted out in hatred.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire yamen gate fell silent.

Bang bang bang!

The Wu clan elder raised his cane and started beating him: "Wu Lao Er, the trouble that happened to your family was caused by your family who harmed people first. What does the Qin family have to do with it? If you dare to get sick and blame the Qin family for your own mistakes, I will expel you from the clan, expel you from the clan!!"

At this moment, the Wu clan leader really hoped that Wu Laoer's family would commit more crimes so that he could use this opportunity to expel them from the clan.

I'm tired, really tired. I can't bear to accompany them anymore.

"Village Chief Wu, it's time to interrogate the criminals. Bring them over. We'll ask them to sign as relatives later." Clerk Lu said in a cold voice.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll take them there right away." The fifth elder of the Wu clan hurriedly called the Wu family members, and took the second elder Wu and his wife, and followed the yamen runners.

Clerk Lu did not waste a moment and went to see Magistrate Kang again, telling him everything that Old Second Wu had said at the yamen gate.

Magistrate Kang, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Han were all shocked.

Master Han didn't understand: "What's the brain of this Wu family? Why can they blame everything on the Qin family?"

No one answered this question.

But Wu Laoer's words angered County Magistrate Kang, who issued an order: "Punish Wu Xingzu with severe punishment. He is afraid of death. He couldn't bear the punishment last time, and he certainly can't bear it this time... The government is very busy, so how can we wait for him to admit his crime? No need to wait, punish him directly!"

"Yes." Master Han immediately took the clerk Lu away to convey the order.

After they left, County Magistrate Kang looked at Master Lu and asked, "Why do you think the Wu family hates the Qin family so much?"

Master Lu said, "In the Huang sisters case, Wu Laosi once said in his confession that Wu Lichang's family had planned to take over the Qin family's new dye business... I'm afraid Wu Lichang told Wu Xingzu and the others that everything in the Qin family would be his. As a result, the Qin family became better and better, but the Wu family became the laughing stock of the whole county."

"The gap is too big, and he has always regarded the Qin family's things as his own. That's why he couldn't stand it and went crazy, spending money to spread rumors."

Master Lu is indeed a son of a powerful family who was specially raised to assist officials. He has a great ability to see into people's hearts and his predictions are very accurate.

That’s what the Wu family thought.

They had long regarded everything of the Qin family as their own, so when their plans failed, they blamed everything on the Qin family.

"I think that's true." County Magistrate Kang echoed, and then sighed: "The Qin family is also unlucky to have encountered this crazy family."

However, these psychopaths in the Wu family are still much better than the powerful families.

After all, a psychopath has limited abilities and can only disgust people, but once a powerful family takes action, it can be fatal.

"The letter from the clerk Guan said that Doctor You of Wu Ze Medicine Store estimated that there are thousands of medicinal herbs in the mountains over in Taifeng Town, enough to make a large number of villagers rich..."

Master Lu looked at County Magistrate Kang and reminded him implicitly: "This time, the Qin family is not enriching itself, but helping everyone else to become rich...Our Majesty likes people who can do practical things for the people the most."

County Magistrate Kang thought for a moment and said, "I will write to the two family heads, asking them not to worry and to let other families take action first."

The other powerful families could take down the Qin family if they wanted, but the Kang and Lu families had to move slowly, so as not to anger His Majesty and give him a reason to chop off their heads.

After hearing this, Master Lu felt relieved and left the office to focus on Wu Xingzu's case.

Wu Xingzu was a loser who couldn't stand the slightest punishment. Just by cutting off a few pieces of his flesh and taking off his pants to scare him, he confessed everything.

"It was me. I paid Mrs. Cao to spread rumors about the Qin family!"

"I didn't mean to do anything. I just wanted to teach the Qin family a lesson, wuwuwu..."

By the end, she was sobbing. She was crying because of the pain, but also because of her own incompetence.

Why couldn't he withstand the torture this time?

He clearly wanted to grit his teeth and endure the torture, so as to deny that it was Mrs. Cao who slandered him, but why? Why couldn't he succeed? !

Why else?

Of course it's because you're trash.

If only Ershuan were used, this strategy would work.

Soon, Wu Laoer and his wife learned that Wu Xingzu had pleaded guilty.

Wu Lao Er was shocked and anxious, and asked hurriedly: "Master Lu, then, how long will the sentence be this time? Can you use silver to atone for the crime?!"

This is not Wu Xingzong, this is his own son, he must be saved no matter how much money is spent.

Master Lu opened his mouth loudly: "Your family's incident is a big deal. If you want to pay for atonement, it will cost more than 100 taels."

"One hundred taels!" Wu Laoer almost fainted from the pain.

One hundred taels, plus the compensation for Wu Xingzong's injury, more than one hundred taels of silver were gone in an instant, which was half of the remaining silver in his family!

How will his family live in the future?

Wu Fengshi lowered her head upon hearing this, hiding the hatred on her face. Thinking of Wu Xingzu's loss of ears, she became even more gloomy...

No, she had to return to the city immediately and secure her last resort. She couldn't let Wu Laoer and Wu Xingzu drag her to death!
