The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

The voice sobbed and said, "Woo, woo, woo, woo, tomorrow I will pick the freshest vegetables to send to the county magistrate. The county magistrate is so kind."

The aunt also held her basket tightly and decided not to go into the city to sell the eggs in the basket.

I'll send it to the county magistrate tomorrow.

The county magistrate must be exhausted from dealing with Chen Youni's affairs these days.

This basket of eggs is just the right amount to replenish his body.

Everyone was thinking about how to thank Wang Chengzi.

In addition, I had to hurry home to tell my family these two good news.

To make the family happy, the crowd at the city gate soon dispersed.

However, few people in the dispersed crowd decided to go to the city. They all hurriedly returned with brisk steps.

I thought about going home quickly to prepare, and then going into the city tomorrow to see Chen Youni's retribution.

The villagers trotted back home with smiles on their faces.

After returning, I shared this good news with my neighbors and family who didn’t come to the city.

The whole village was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a moment.

Some families also started to get busy, preparing to go to the city tomorrow to see with their own eyes the retribution of Chen Youni.

I also need to prepare some gifts to bring to the county magistrate tomorrow.

Some picked fresh vegetables;

Some people killed the chickens they had raised for several years and cooked a pot of delicious chicken soup;

Some people didn't have anything worth giving away at home, but still wanted to give Wang Chengzi something to express their gratitude.

He took an axe and went up the mountain, and chopped two loads of firewood.

I plan to send it to the yamen tomorrow.

It's just that my family is too poor and we don't have anything to sell.

I only have the strength I have left.

The sun gradually set, and the village was illuminated by the golden afterglow.

People fall asleep with gratitude and anticipation, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

They believed that the county magistrate's action would bring them a better life.

The next day, before dawn, long queues began to form outside the city gate.

Some people even had the luxury of lighting a torch for lighting.

The soldiers who were dozing off on the city wall were awakened by the excited voices of the people below the city gate.

Through the fire and torches below, you can see the queue.

I felt like I was dreaming and rubbed my eyes in disbelief.

Then I opened my eyes and found that there were still so many people below.

I am a little confused as to why these people are so active today, just like in the temple fairs of previous years.

The people didn't come that early.

Moreover, he looked very cheerful and didn't look tired at all.

You know, so many people outside the city live in the villages.

Not to mention the nearby villages, if you want to go to the distant villages, you can reach the city gate now.

That means they have to leave home in the middle of the night.

But the officers and soldiers looked at the people below, and saw that they were all very energetic and did not look tired at all from the journey.

Some of them were even happily chatting with the people around them.

Even from such a distance, the officers and soldiers could tell from the people's body language that they were having a very happy chat.

The officers and soldiers’ curiosity was aroused, and they couldn’t sleep anyway.

He lay on the city gate, stretched his head and asked the people outside the gate.

"Hey! You came so early today! It's not even time to open the city gates yet!"

The people who were chatting happily only heard the voices but didn't see the people.

I had no choice but to follow the direction of the voice and answer:

"Of course not, we are all here to see the county magistrate sentence Chen Youni.

We don’t know how long we have been waiting for this day.

Now it’s all thanks to the County Magistrate, he’s a good man!”

"That's right, the county magistrate helped a lot yesterday!"

"Yes! If it weren't for the county magistrate, who knows how long Chen Youni would have been so arrogant!"

Everyone was talking at the same time, and there was no room for the officers and soldiers to interrupt.

I also heard the people talking to each other and found out why they came so early.

However, the officers and soldiers did not expect that after Wang Chengzi gave the order to post the notice.

So many people returned from the city just to see what would happen to Chen Youni.

A villager shouted at the top of his voice:

"The county magistrate has caught that bad guy Chen Youni and sentenced him. We won't have to be bullied by him anymore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately became excited and cheers rang out one after another.

"Great! The county magistrate is truly an honest man!"

"We must thank the county magistrate very much!"

The people below waved their arms, even though they didn't know the name of the new county magistrate.

But they still shouted in unison, "County Magistrate, County Magistrate!"

It was as if he regarded Wang Chengzi as a parent official who was helping the people get rid of harm.

And the people also knew that Chen Youni had been arrested.

Their lives will definitely get better and better in the future.

The crowd was excited and shouting.

Time passed so quickly that they felt like they hadn't finished talking to the others.

Then the time came for the city gates to open.

As the city gate slowly opened, the villagers did not rush forward.

They lined up spontaneously, waiting to enter the city.

Because the team was well-organized, the excited people soon poured into the city.

Some people also brought fresh vegetables and eggs to give to the county magistrate to express their gratitude.

Before Wang Chengzi went to court, the people were already waiting at the gate of the yamen.

It was so lively outside the yamen that it seemed like a temple fair.

Everyone stretched their necks, waiting for Wang Chengzi to open the court to try the case of Chen Youni.

When it was time to open the court, Wang Chengzi sat behind the desk in his official uniform.

The yamen runners stood on both sides, waiting for Wang Chengzi's orders.

With the crisp sound of the gavel falling on the case, it was announced that Chen Youni's case was about to begin trial.

Wang Chengzi ordered the yamen runners in a serious tone:

"Bring up the criminal Chen Youni and his relatives."

When the bailiff heard the order, he quickly brought the few people who had been brought to the back to the hall.

Because the courtroom was not large, Wang Chengzi only asked the bailiff to take Chen Youni and the other three members of the Chen family with him.

It just so happened that Chen Jingbing was among them.

In just a few days, Chen Jingbing had lost weight visibly.

It's as if the whole person has become smaller.

The arrogant and domineering man he once was is no longer visible.

Instead, there is a timid, trembling wretch.

At this moment, Chen Jingbing tried to completely hide his bloated and fat body behind the equally huge Chen Youni.

It seemed like this could give him a little sense of security.

However, no matter how hard he tried to curl up, his conspicuous figure could not be completely concealed.

Chen Youni was in a similar situation to Chen Jingbing at this time. He had completely lost the confident and high-spirited look he had when he was in Chen's house.

He kept his head down, looking as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.

After several days in jail, he has come to realize the cruel reality.

Wang Chengzi has now found out everything, and the Chen family is probably doomed this time!

From then on, the Chen family would never be able to make a comeback.
