Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Liu Ying and Mrs. Pei were at loggerheads with each other and neither of them gave in. The situation was temporarily deadlocked. The Pei family members surrounded them and the atmosphere was tense.

Unexpectedly, there was a commotion at the street corner in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw a group of yamen runners coming towards them. The man in the lead had a dark complexion and sharp eyebrows like swords. He was the head of the yamen, Zhao Quan.

"Who is Liu? Someone has reported that your in-laws stole your dowry. Is that true?" Zhao Quan was an impatient man. During this period, the pressure on patrolling in the city had increased greatly. He was just about to take a nap when someone came to report that someone from the Pei family in East City wanted to sue his in-laws for misappropriating their daughter-in-law's dowry.

He came in a hurry. It was heard that Liu was the person that the lady of Xie family wanted to protect, so he did not dare to delay and called his brothers and rushed over.

Liu Ying was a little dazed and could only bite the bullet and respond, "I am Liu." She looked at the bailiff who dropped from the sky, and her heart tightened. Could it be that her mother-in-law had a backup plan to prevent her from turning over?

The villagers said: "Wow, someone actually reported it to the police."

"Impossible? Liu is being unfilial. How dare she sue me?" Old Lady Pei's sharp voice hurt everyone's eardrums.

Zhao Quan frowned: "Who is it that filed the complaint?" If the person reporting the case is Liu, it would be troublesome.

"Me!" Pushing through the crowd, the girl in red walked slowly forward.

The maid Huan'er suddenly raised her head, and when she saw the person clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, "Thank you, Second Madam!"

Liu couldn't believe it. She blinked hard, trying to see the lady in red clearly.

The villagers were in an uproar. "It's really the daughter of the Xie family. It's great that Liu is actually a distant relative of the Xie family!"

Everyone had mixed feelings. They had thought about Liu's cousin from the Xie family, but they had never thought that Liu's cousin from the Xie family was the now popular female ruler of the Xie family!

"Impossible, where did Liu's cousin come from?" Old Mrs. Pei naturally didn't believe it. Liu had been married into the Pei family for more than ten years, if there were any cousins, they would have come long ago, why wait until now.

Xie Xian came close to Liu and said, "Cousin, you said you would come to see me in a few days. Why did you make me wait so long?"

"This is Yu'er, she's so big now!" She touched the little girl's head, which was soft and not prickly, and she stuffed the candy tip into her head naturally.

Everyone looked at Old Lady Pei with rather strange eyes.

When Zhao Quan saw Xie Xian, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lady Xie." They have always been well-informed, and the news that Xie Xian took over the Black Stone Guards yesterday had spread throughout Que County.

From now on, their yamen will have to rely on the Black Stone Guards. In addition, Xie Xian's ability in dealing with the refugees is obvious to all. He also often deals with the guards of East Street, so he naturally respects them a little.

Seeing Zhao Quan's respectful expression, everyone had their own thoughts. They looked at Xie Xian with awe. This cousin of Liu was not simple.

Ignoring the confused Liu, Xie Xian just smiled and said, "Captain Zhao is here to investigate the case. Please come in." She has always been good-tempered towards the police.

As the plaintiff, she had to go along. She stuffed the three Lius into the oxcart. Turning around, she saw Old Lady Pei sitting on the doorstep and throwing a tantrum: "I won't go. That poor little bitch has no cousins ​​at all. She's just a random liar."

She sat on the ground in disbelief, tears streaming down her face, and kicked and thrashed around, raising dust all over the place. The yamen runners who came forward all frowned, as this old woman was the most difficult to deal with.

Zhao Quan glanced at the people who were watching the show and shouted in a deep voice, "Pei Zhou, please don't disturb the court. Be honest, or I will ask the elders to come to you."

Old Mrs. Pei shuddered when she heard this. She was not afraid of these young men, as they were too embarrassed to arrest her. But if the elders of the clan came forward, they would have plenty of ways to deal with her.

Mo Ji climbed up with a reluctant look on his face. Seeing Yu'er sitting on the ox cart with sweets in her mouth, she pursed her lips and insisted: "Why can that little bitch sit on the ox cart?"

Everyone looked down on him: "That's the ox cart of the Lady of the Xie family."

Xie Xian ignored her and only curled her lips slightly: "I am the one who filed the complaint. What does it have to do with my cousin?"

The red-dressed lady had a cold look in her eyes: "All the people from the Pei family are suspects. It may not be enough to arrest just this woman!"

Xie Xian leaned on the ox cart with a smile on her face, but just one sentence made people feel cold all over. Everyone in the Pei family looked at Xie Xian with pale faces.

Xie Xian glanced at Captain Zhao indifferently and said, "After all, the things were lost at Pei's house, so anyone could be a suspect. What do you think, Captain Zhao?"

Zhao Quan met Xie Xian's half-smiley eyes and shuddered, "Yes, they are all suspects. Take them all away. And find that secret record as well."

"That's stolen property. Take it all away."

He came to his senses and realized that this old lady Pei was really tired of living. She could have offended anyone, but Mr. Xing from the Xie family did not have a good temper.

Fortunately, I thought that if the daughter of the Xie family really wanted to offend the Pei family, there were ways to deal with it quietly. But this time, I went to the county government to file a complaint, and this was for the sake of the county lord's face.

Ahem, it seems that the lady of the Xie family is quite methodical in her actions. She is worthy of being a relative of County Magistrate Xie, and she is very particular about what she does.

He put on a serious look and said, "The government is doing business, everyone please step aside. Go in and search quickly, we have other work to do this afternoon!"

Seeing how efficient they were, Xie Xian looked at them twice more out of curiosity. Zhao Quan quickly signaled to them, fearing that the lady of the Xie family might do something weird again, and the runners searched even harder.

The Pei family looked at the smashed items in the house and felt like crying but had no tears. They looked at Old Lady Pei with unfriendly eyes.

Not long after, Xie Xian took out the yellowed pages of "Lu's Secret Records" in her hand, flipped through it casually, and handed it to Liu.

Liu took it with shaking hands, looked through it carefully, and nodded to Xie Xian. It was good that the thing was real. Xie Xian thought that it was like in a TV drama, with the plaintiff and the defendant, and the county magistrate going to court. It didn't exist at all.

As soon as she entered the county government office, she was welcomed into the side hall. Liu Qingdai was beside her, and Yu'er didn't even get off the ox cart.

She was in the side hall, listening to the sound of beatings and screams coming from the lobby.

He lowered his eyes. Except for the pregnant woman, all the other people from the Pei family were taken away and beaten with a stick.

I didn't say anything when I entered the door, I was beaten with a stick first to warm up. This is the rule, scholars don't kneel when they see an official, and noble families are also among the privileged. Common people, whether plaintiffs or defendants, will be beaten when they enter the door. This is the price for disturbing the county magistrate.

Only in this way can the dignity of a scholar be revealed. Xie Xian stared at the ground, his mind wandering.

No wonder the villagers all looked embarrassed when they mentioned suing the officials. Only then did she deeply understand that if she did not have the halo of the lady of the Xie family behind her, she would not be able to escape the fate of being trampled under the shoes of others.

The Pei family couldn't wait to admit it before the first round of fighting was over. They are so regretful now. If they had known that Liu had a cousin from the Xie family, they would never have treated her like this and would have worshipped her long ago.

Liu's request was simple: to take back her things, take Pei Yu away from home, and set up a new family.
