Joe's Farming

The county magistrate pretended to empathize and said, "Don't worry, I will give you justice."

As he said this, he banged the gavel.

"Come here, fighting in the street and causing serious injuries to others is a violation of Dayan's laws. Each of you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!"

The corner of Gu Xi's mouth twitched. This county magistrate was still such a coward. He lied with his eyes open before the trial was even finished.

Qiao Yu was speechless. He was punished with twenty strokes of the cane. He did nothing wrong. Why did he have to take these strokes? !

The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she tried to break free from Gu Feng's hand and rush inside.

Gu Feng knew that his husband lived in a completely different world from Dayan, and he would definitely not be able to accept this, so he quickly hugged him.

"Qiao Er, calm down."

"You can't calm down! Sir! I am a witness and can testify that the injury of the person lying on the ground has nothing to do with them!"

After Qiao Yu finished yelling, he said to the onlookers around him: "Friends who saw this just now, please stand up and testify. Qiao will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Who is making noise? Drag him in!"

Haitang County Magistrate shouted.

Soon, the bailiffs came up to arrest Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu avoided his claws and said coldly: "I can walk by myself."

Gu Feng clenched his fists and followed his husband into the court.

Xu Yuan looked at Qiao Yu who came in with some disapproval and shook his head slightly.

Qiao Yu pursed her lips. At this point she could only take things one step at a time.

He and Gu Feng knelt straight.

"Sir, don't you ask the injured people who the murderer is?"

Qiao Yu said loudly.

“Sir, the Black Tiger Gang members are clearly the troublemakers, but you are not trying the troublemakers and you are not calling witnesses.

It is not wise to convict someone based on a mere complaint.

According to the law, if someone confesses under torture, he or she will be dismissed from his or her post and investigated. Please think twice."

Xu Yuan originally wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of nothing.

But this corrupt official went too far and offended people.

The Haitang County Magistrate did not expect that Xu Yuan, a stranger, would dare to embarrass him in court.

"you you……"

The county magistrate pointed at Xu Yuan with his fat finger shaking:

"How dare you! Don't think I won't touch you just because you are a scholar! Come here, this man is defying me and the court, give him twenty lashes of the cane!"

Xu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. This crooked official was too lazy to even change his excuse. It was obvious that his mind was empty and he could only say this.

"You tortured a person who passed the imperial examination for no reason. Everyone present here is a witness against Xu. Have you thought about how to bear the consequences of this matter?"

Xu Yuan said coldly.

The lawyer looked embarrassed and whispered to the county magistrate: "Please think twice."

If this man was beaten to death, not only would the county magistrate's reputation be ruined, but those scholars would also make a fuss and the matter would become a big deal.

The county magistrate was so angry that his face turned red.

Then he turned to Qiao Yu and glared at her: "He is a scholar and I cannot hit him. You are a boy who trespassed into the court, made a loud noise and disregarded the law. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your husband. Give me ten strokes of the cane!"

Gu Feng said coldly: "No one can teach my husband a lesson!"

Dazhu and his friends also quit.

You can beat them, but you can't beat their boss.

Dazhu shouted, "I'll take these ten blows! Hit me!"

The others also shouted, "Hit me!"

Gu Feng held Qiao Yu tightly and signaled him with his eyes not to be afraid.

Gu Xi just looked at this guy differently at first, but now she was curious about him.

He seems to be the boss of these people. What kind of boss can make the guards protect them so well?

He must be a very good boss to his subordinates.

When Xu Ning heard that everyone in the store was taken to the government office, he felt his head buzzing. He knew nothing about the county government or lawsuits.

He wanted to get off the boat and visit the county government office, but he was worried about the safety of his children.

Xie Tianyu noticed Xu Ning's uneasiness, and while his brothers and sisters were having fun, he quietly went up to him and asked him what happened.

Xu Ning thought that Tianyu was the son of the county magistrate after all, and should be able to give him some advice.

So I told him that someone caused trouble in the store and was taken away by the police.

This was the first time that Xie Tianyu encountered such a thing, but at least he had been exposed to it since he was a child.

He hurriedly asked, "Generally, such situations rarely alert the authorities. Is someone seriously injured?"

Xu Ning's eyes were filled with panic: "I heard that he almost died, but luckily he was saved."

Xie Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief: "That shouldn't be a problem. As long as the compensation is negotiated and the person doesn't pursue it, it'll be fine."

Xu Ning's heart tightened.

"I'm afraid they won't give up."

"Brother Tianyu, there's a beautiful ship coming over there~~"

Gu Heng suddenly shouted and ran over to pull him to see.

Xie Tianyu was pulled by Gu Heng to look at the boat.

The three-story vermilion lacquered wooden ship is currently the best merchant ship in Dayan, and has one more floor than the one they have now.

Beautiful indeed.

Wait, who else could be waving a paper fan on the bow of the boat if not the King of Qi.

Xie Tianyu was afraid that he was dazzled, so he picked up Gu Heng and asked, "Hengzi, do you recognize the people on that boat?"

He still remembered the incident when King Qi picked up Hengzi.

Sure enough, Gu Heng shouted happily: "It's the handsome uncle!"

"Uncle Qi!"

Gu Heng made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted.

Gu Xiaoyan and Gu Xiaoxue also saw it.

Then shouted excitedly.

Xu Ning's frown gradually relaxed. Great, her husband must be fine.

When King Qi and Sui Feng arrived at the county government office, the county magistrate was about to torture Xu Yuan.

The King of Qi listened for a while longer.

Naturally, I heard the county magistrate's illogical reasoning for the execution.

He had almost finished his work in Taoyuan, and because it was much earlier, he just happened to hear the county magistrate say that his son had followed Qiao Yu to Nanzhou.

So he began to think about moving south.

Xie Changyu contacted the best merchant ship for him. Since Qiao Yu and Xu Yuan were mainly there for fun, the ship's speed was not very fast.

So even though he set out half a day late, both ships stopped at the same place at this time.

He was originally very happy to see the children, but then he learned that Qiao Yu was involved in a lawsuit.

As soon as he got off the boat, he rushed to the county government office without stopping, and then he heard the outrageous remarks of the corrupt official.

Suifeng felt the King of Qi's anger and silently stepped aside.

"What a despiser of the imperial court, trespassing in the court, making loud noises, and disregarding the law.

I don't know when this court has become a place where you have the final say!"

The King of Qi was handsome, and with his brocade clothes and a fan, he displayed the temperament of a prince to the fullest.

Gu Xi was simply stunned.

The King of Qi walked into the court and stood still.

Suifeng followed closely behind, deliberately revealing the hilt of his sword.

Unfortunately, the county magistrate had never seen the world and did not know the meaning of the Qilin seal on the hilt of the sword.

He pointed his finger at the King of Qi and said shamelessly: "Who are you? Do you want to be beaten too?"

Gu Xi was speechless. Anyone could see that this man was of extraordinary status and was either powerful or noble.

It was also the first time that Suifeng had seen such a slow-witted local official.

He took out the King of Qi's token from his arms.

"How dare you! How dare you question His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?!"
