At the gate of the county yamen, Yu Xiangmei held a pair of scissors around her neck and said to the yamen servant, "Let Wu Bai come out to see me."

The yamen servant was stunned for a moment by her behavior. Fortunately, he had already got the news, so he didn't panic, but calmly said to Xiangmei: "Our lord has ordered you to come in as soon as you come."

Hearing this, Yu Xiangmei was taken aback for a moment, and then wept with joy: "I knew that Brother Bai was a knife-mouthed bean curd, and he forgave me—"

She was talking, but she didn't stop moving. She took the scissors off her neck and put them in her sleeve pockets, then quickly followed the footsteps of the yamen servants into the county yamen.

In the same side hall as before, Wu Bai was sitting on the upper chair drinking tea, and this time Xiao Zimo was also sitting next to him.

Seeing Wu Bai, Yu Xiangmei said with a smile on her face: "Brother Bai, I knew you were soft-hearted and couldn't bear to be separated from my mother and child."

"Oh——" Wu Bai chuckled, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her, and said, "You are really thick-skinned, I have no intention of forgiving you, but I just don't have the heart to let the gate of the county government be defiled by you."

"Don't you want to threaten me with suicide? Now I'm here, you can do it." Wu Bai glanced at her sleeve pocket.

"Brother Bai, I don't understand what you are talking about." Yu Xiangmei hid her right hand behind her back.

"You don't understand, do you?" Wu Bai raised his hands and clapped his hands twice, and soon a servant brought in a man with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Yu Xiangmei took a closer look and shouted: "Baofu!"

Wu Bai pointed to Feng Baofu on the ground, and asked, "Do you understand now?"

Seeing Feng Baofu's miserable appearance, Yu Xiangmei looked at Wu Bai angrily, and said bitterly: "Why are you so cruel, he is your younger brother, why did you treat him like this!"

"I am cruel? Isn't he more cruel? He is willing to let you die, do you really have no complaints?" Wu Bai said.

Hearing this, Yu Xiangmei's face changed. Although she didn't know how Wu Bai knew about the conversation between their mother and son in the alley just now, this did not prevent her from defending Feng Baofu.

She retorted: "No, Baofu didn't let me die. He was just joking. Baofu is the most filial. Unlike you, he is a cold-blooded animal. He never gave me a good look."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zimo's face became ugly, and he quickly squeezed Wu Bai's hand, signaling him not to be sad about these words.

Wu Bai patted the back of his hand, indicating that he was not sad.

Xiao Zimo looked at him carefully and found that he was really not sad, so he was relieved.

Of course, he didn't think Wu Bai was so cold-blooded, on the contrary, he felt that people like Yu Xiangmei were not worth Wu Bai's pain for her words.

"Mom, I'm in so much pain—" Feng Baofu rolled on the ground in pain.

"Don't be afraid, mother will take you to see a doctor right away." Yu Xiangmei squatted down, trying to help Feng Baofu to leave.

"Wait a minute." Wu Bai shouted.

Yu Xiangmei turned around and looked at Wu Bai with disgust in her eyes, and said, "What else do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, but I just want to remind you that if you come to the county government with scissors or other sharp blades to do something in the future, then don't blame me for being too hard on you, the sharp treasure, come here again , I'll just hit him once."

"Remember, it's not that I don't want to let him go, but that you, my own mother, don't love him enough." Wu Bai smiled at Yu Xiangmei.

Yu Xiangmei didn't say a word, and with a cold snort, she helped Feng Baofu, who was screaming in pain, and left.

Since this time, Wu Bai's ear has become much quieter. He only happened to meet Yu Xiangmei on the street once in a while. When the other party saw him, he turned around and ran away, but Wu Bai saw that she was thinner than before. From the way she looked, she knew that she must have suffered a lot in Feng's family.

Right now, as soon as Yu Xiangmei's mother and son left, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to Tianxianglou and ordered Wu Bai's favorite sweet and sour pork tenderloin, hoping that the other party would leave all the unpleasant things behind the delicious food .

"How do you know I love this dish?" Wu Bai was surprised.

Xiao Zimo smiled mysteriously, and said, "I just know..." Last night you chanted the name of this dish in your dream all night.

Wu Bai didn't know that he was so greedy in his dream. He thought that Xiao Zimo had written it down because he had said it unintentionally before, so Xiao Zimo now knew that he liked to eat sweet and sour pork.

"Well, this sweet and sour pork tenderloin is really good, delicious." Wu Bai couldn't lift his head.

"Eat slowly, I will bring you next time." Xiao Zimo poured him a glass of water.

After dinner, the two of them decided to go for a walk, and Xiao Zimo remembered that he hadn't gone shopping with Wu Bai for a long time.

After listening to his annoyance, Wu Bai consoled him: "I know you had a lot of things to do a while ago, not only did you have to deal with the mess left by the previous county magistrate, but you also had to worry about the bandits. I don't blame you, you don't have to blame yourself, um , how about this, if you really want to make it up to me, then go and buy me two sticks of candied haws."

Looking along Wu Bai's hand, Xiao Zimo saw a peddler selling big bunches of candied haws.

Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai's hand, walked up to that person together, and said, "Old man, give me two bunches of candied haws."

"Good!" The peddler quickly took down two sticks of candied haws and handed them to Xiao Zimo. After receiving the copper coins, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Here, Fulang." Xiao Zimo handed the two sticks of candied haws to Wu Bai.

Wu Bai took one and said with a smile, "I only want one, and the other is yours."

"Okay." Seeing that Wu Bai had already started eating, Xiao Zimo also took the candied haws in his hand and bit down.

"Hmm—why are you so sour?" Xiao Zimo said depressedly, covering his cheeks.

"It's not sour, I think it's very sweet." Wu Bai took another bite, and quickly ate up the candied haws in his hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Zimo gave him a thumbs up, it was too strong, so sour, he could eat it.

Then, he handed the one in his hand to Wu Bai who was staring at him.

Wu Bai accepted it with satisfaction.

After this time, Wu Bai found that he seemed to like more delicacies, and he had to ask Wanfeng to buy him some food every day.

……

"Dong dong dong—" a drum sound resounded throughout the county office.

Xiao Zimo hurried to the lobby of the county yamen, at this time the yamen servants had already brought in all the drummers.

That's right, there is more than one drummer.

When they saw Xiao Zimo sitting down behind the case, they quickly knelt down and said, "My lord."

"Why are you beating the drums?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"My lord, we are all here to avenge our grievances. I want to ask you to uphold justice for us." One of them knelt half a step forward and kowtowed.

"Who are your surnames and who are you suing? Tell me in detail." Xiao Zimo ordered.

"My lord, I am Wang Wu from Liujia Village, he is Li Qian from Zhangjia Village, and they are... We are here this time to sue Tan Tianyu."

Hearing what they said, Xiao Zimo was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "What are you suing him for?"

"My lord, Xiaomin wants to sue him for usurping my fertile land!"

"My lord, I want to sue him for buying and selling my shop!"

"And me, I want to sue him for poisoning people in order to grab business!"

"……And I……"

Xiao Zimo had someone record everything they said.

"Come here, go and bring Tan Tianyu—" Xiao Zimo threw out a stick and ordered.

"Yes, my lord." Several yamen servants quickly ran to Tan Tianyu's house.

After a while, a yamen servant came to report: "My lord, Tan Tianyu is not in the county at the moment. The subordinates asked his servants, and they said that he went to Xushan Village to hire him, and the other brothers have already gone to Xushan Village. This subordinate came back specially to report to you, my lord."

Xiao Zimo pondered for a while, said that the trial will be held later, and then retreated first.

Those who came to sue Tan Tianyu had nothing to do. Now that Tan Tianyu was not in the county, the adults could not try the case, so they could only temporarily give up and wait for the adults to be tried.

When Xiao Zimo came to the back hall, Wu Bai stepped forward and asked, "What case happened just now?"

"Someone wants to sue Tan Tianyu for occupying a good farm shop and other bad things. There are countless things." Xiao Zimo said solemnly.

"Why do you look a little unhappy?"

"Tan Tianyu is not in the county at the moment, he went to Xushan Village to pay the bride price, and he can't be brought to the hall for interrogation for a while." Xiao Zimo replied.

Hearing this, Wu Bai rolled his eyes and said, "That's just right, let's go to Xushan Village to see the excitement?"

"I've already sent the yamen servant to get him, so let's not go!" Xiao Zimo shook his head.

"The yamen servant must be in a carriage. The two of us can ride horses, which is faster. In addition, Tan Tianyu is carrying so many betrothal gifts, so he must not be able to leave quickly. Maybe the two of us can reach Xushan Village before him! " Wu Bai suggested.

Seeing Wu Bai's appearance of watching a good show with great interest, Xiao Zimo pinched his nose helplessly and said, "Okay, this time it's up to you."

Xiao Zimo quickly changed his official uniform, and the two of them rode a horse and headed towards Xushan Village quickly. On the way, they passed the government servants driving the carriage.

"The two people just now seem to be the county magistrate and his husband?" A yamen servant wiped his eyes and said.

"You read that right, it's them."

"Why are they both here?"

The yamen servant who was carrying the carriage replied, "I don't know." The speed of his men driving the carriage also increased unknowingly.

Wu Bai and the others came to Xushan Village at the right time, and Tan Tianyu had just arrived at Shi Le's house with the dowry gift, and had just carried the dowry gift into the yard and put it away.

Many villagers surrounded Shi's house, and said in their mouths: "This Shi Le's luck is too good!"

"Yes, look at these betrothal gifts, put them in one after another, can the small yard of his house hold them?"

"I don't know how much silver these things are worth?"

"I heard that Tan Tianyu is the richest man in the county, and the family's money and valuables can't be piled up, so it happened to be delivered to Shijiateng right now."

"Oh my god, there are so many, so this betrothal gift is considered a sky-high price!" Many people sighed.

The crowd was discussing happily, and suddenly someone looked behind and exclaimed: "Brother Bai!!"

Now no one in the village does not know Wu Bai's name. When they heard someone calling Wu Bai's name, they all looked around for it.

Just as Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo got off their horses, they heard someone calling their name. Wu Bai looked towards the source of the sound, but it was Wu Huilan.

Seeing Wu Bai looking at her, Wu Huilan turned her head to the other side in fright.

The same goes for the other members of the Wu family next to her, who didn't dare to look at Wu Bai, for fear of being caught by the other party and taken into prison, and then beheaded.

Since they returned to the village that time, they had nightmares for a while, and they got better recently. They didn't expect Wu Bai to come to Xushan Village in person.

Seeing Wu Bai holding Xiao Zimo's hand, all the villagers knew that this was the county magistrate, and quickly knelt down to salute him.

Xiao Zimo raised his hand to get them up, then led Wu Bai through the crowd and into the courtyard of the Shi family.

At this time, Tan Tianyu in the house also noticed something was wrong outside, and he was about to come out to check, when he saw Wu Bai and his wife walking into the yard.

Seeing them, Tan Tianyu was surprised at first, and then greeted them with a smile: "I have seen the magistrate, why did the magistrate come to Xushan Village today?"

"We are here for you." Xiao Zimo replied.

"For me?" Tan Tianyu was puzzled.

"Yes, someone sued you for oppressing good people, occupying their fields, and shops, etc. We are here to take you back for interrogation." Xiao Zimo said truthfully while staring at Tan Tianyu and reacting.

Tan Tianyu's complexion changed slightly, but he recovered quickly, and said with a smile: "Hahaha... my lord, stop joking with Tan, not to mention that Tan didn't do those things, even if he really did, it's not his turn My lord, come and arrest me yourself and interrogate me!"

Wu Bai took a step forward, spread his hands and said, "That disappoints you, we are really here to take you back for trial."

Hearing this, Tan Tianyu looked at Wu Bai in front of him with a fierce look in his eyes.
