Song Xile led three people headed by Officer Yang and went out of the city and headed directly to the scene of the incident.

It was still early, and the morning breeze blowing on my face was still a bit chilly.

As Officer Yang walked, he carefully asked Song Xile about the details of the incident!

The group talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the scene of the incident, which was surrounded by rocks.

Officer Yang stood on the path and looked at the scene.

At this time, the huge rocks in the middle of the path had been moved to the sides of the road by pedestrians. Judging from the number of these huge rocks, if Madam Song had not been alert at the time, I am afraid that the people passing by at that time would have been in great danger!

Afterwards, these people did not rush down to ask for money or property, which shows that they did not come for money!

Based on this, it can be inferred that the person lying in ambush in the mountains is more likely to take revenge!

"Let's go up and take a look!" Officer Yang said to Song Xile, and then led his men to the mountainside.

When the group approached the foot of the mountain, they could clearly see traces of huge rocks rolling down the mountain.

The crushed trees, upturned soil and scattered rocks all silently tell the story of the danger that had occurred before!

The group walked up the mountain carefully. Because it hadn't rained for a long time, the soil on the mountain was hardened, making it difficult to obtain complete footprints as evidence.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Officer Yang pointed to a patch of flattened grass and said to the men, "This is where they ambushed us last night!"

"Spread out first and look for any clues left!" Officer Yang said to the two colleagues who followed him.

The three of them immediately dispersed and went looking for clues separately!

Song Xile looked at the three people searching carefully and sighed with disappointment in his heart!

She actually didn't hold out much hope of finding any clues here. In this day and age, without the assistance of various technologies, it would be extremely difficult to track down the murderer afterwards!

She actually knew the whole matter clearly, and the culprit was Liu. Could she report Liu?

Obviously not. Not to mention that she couldn't produce any evidence, even if she had evidence, Yun You couldn't sue her stepmother!

In this feudal dynasty that was deeply influenced by Confucianism and emphasized governing the world with "filial piety", children were not allowed to speak of their parents' mistakes, and children were not allowed to sue the authorities if their parents made mistakes. If they did, they would be considered unfilial.

The idea of ​​sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice simply does not work in this era!

On the contrary, "relatives cover up for each other", such as children helping their parents, and wives helping their husbands to conceal the facts of crimes. Even if they are eventually discovered, they will not be held criminally responsible!

The reason why she asked the officials to come to her house was to make Liu afraid and also to warn her!

As for the old woman Ma who took action, humph, she doesn't even need to do anything. Liu will definitely not let her off easily in this matter!

When Song Xile thought about the fact that Chen Mingyuan failed the county examination because of this incident, he just found it funny!

This person really can't always do bad things, otherwise the retribution will come back to bite her most caring grandson!

The three searched along the mountainside for a long time, but could not find any valuable clues in the mountain!

Officer Yang walked up to Song Xile with a heavy face, "Madam Song, let's go into the village and check it out. There are no valuable clues here except for some messy footprints!"

Song Xile nodded and led the people to the village!

The villagers who had already returned to the village spread the news of what happened to Chen Yunyou this morning. The villagers of Xixi Village were very angry!

There was a scholar in this village. Even when he went to the county government to pay taxes, the officials would give them some face.

Every year when it comes time to pay taxes, every household has to wait in line for four or five days!

With someone here, you don’t have to endure it and will avoid being looked down upon!

Didn’t you see that the neighboring village has an easier and more convenient way to pay taxes every year because of a scholar?

Everyone saw it and was extremely envious!

It seemed that Yun You was about to pass the exam, and even become the first in the county, but such a disaster happened. The villagers of Xixi Village were so angry!

Chen Yunshan returned home and told his father the same thing. After hearing this, the Chen clan leader was so angry that he threw the bowl in his hand.

Others can't guess who is behind this, so how could he not know?

Seeing her father so angry, Chen Yunshan hurriedly comforted him, "Dad, don't be angry, Yun You is fine, and my sister-in-law has also gone to the government office. I see that she has a special relationship with the county magistrate's wife, and the county magistrate's wife will definitely not sit idly by!"

Patriarch Chen glanced at his son. His son might not understand, but as the patriarch, shouldn’t he understand the key?

Not to mention whether the officers can find evidence, even if they get the evidence, can Yun You sue Liu?

Since ancient times, children have not sued their parents. Just because the government cannot handle such family affairs does not mean that the clan cannot handle it!

As the patriarch of the Chen clan, he must protect the interests of the clan members.

He immediately ordered his son: "Go, go to the village and gather everyone together, and gather them at the entrance of the village!"

He had to show his strength to Yun You, otherwise some people would think he was easy to bully?

Do whatever you want!

He, the patriarch, is not dead yet!

Soon, Chen Yunshan brought the men, women, and children of the village to the village entrance.

Everyone was talking about it, wondering what important matter the patriarch had suddenly called them together for.

Chief Chen stood on a high place, looked around at the villagers present, and then said loudly:

"I have called you all here today because I have something to tell you. I'm sure some of you have heard that Yun You was ambushed on the way to the county exam, and the officials will come to our village to investigate soon!"

"If anyone among you finds anything, just tell the police the truth. Our village won't tolerate such cruel people!"

Those villagers who had not heard the news yet were in an uproar. The world had been at peace for more than a decade, and they had never expected that in such peaceful days, someone would dare to do such a vicious thing.

The Chen clan members were very angry. Yun You was their hope. How could they allow their hope to be strangled in the cradle!

Seeing the villagers were indignant, Patriarch Chen nodded with satisfaction.

What he wants is everyone's anger. Only when everyone is more angry, when the time comes to expose Liu's evil deeds, will the villagers stand up for Yun You!

When Song Xile led the yamen runners into the village, he saw a group of Chen clan members standing at the entrance of the village!

She took a few quick steps and hurried over to greet him, "Uncle, why are you all here?"

Patriarch Chen comforted Song Xile and said, "Don't worry, I have already told everyone about the attack on you!"

“Just take the officers with you to search the village. If we find out who among our clan members did it, don’t worry, I will give Yun You an explanation!

"My Chen family will not tolerate such a vicious person!"

Song Xile was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that everyone would stand behind her and support her like this!

A warm current surged in her heart, and she bowed deeply to all the villagers, "Thank you, uncle, and thank you all the uncles and aunts!"

Everyone was talking at the same time to comfort Song Xile, but their meaning was the same.

We are all members of the same clan, there is no reason for us to be bullied like this!
