I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 184 Li Xiuwen Comes to Arrest People



Chapter 184 Li Xiuwen Comes to Arrest People

Gu Jingye quickly stepped forward, helped him up with both hands, and returned the gesture with a bow: "Jingye received it."

Dongfang Jin looked at the two children who hadn't even grown their first hair yet, and wondered what was going on with their rigid and serious manner.

Looking up to the sky speechlessly.

The ancients truly mastered the art of propriety and righteousness.

Lin Li was extremely satisfied and proud of his grandson's attitude.

This is Lin Peisheng's grandson. Thinking this, he gave Chief Gu a proud look.

Gu Yongliang took a step back in anger, his hand trembling as he pointed at the three clan leaders, Sun, Xu, and Lin: "Fine, very well, you're actually willing to be his lackeys, Gu Chenglin. Very good."

These people are nice, so don't blame him for revealing that his family was involved in business.

These two businesses are now coveted by many people.

Lin Li watched him coldly, not missing the ruthlessness and scheming in his eyes, and said to his youngest son beside him, "Lin Jiang, go to the county government office."

Tell the magistrate the truth about what happened here, and say that this matter has exceeded the jurisdiction of your father, the village head.”

Since you're acting like this, let him let you act to your heart's content.

In the past, as the village head, he was concerned about the reputation of the village, but now none of the three families of Lin, Sun, and Xu have any members with official titles.

Let the Gu family cause trouble if they want; they're shameless. What's there to be afraid of?

What else needs to be maintained?

Lin Jiang glared fiercely at Clan Chief Gu, who dared to call them lackeys: "Fine."

His family is so busy right now, everyone is so busy they don't even have time to rest. If it weren't for his uncle, cousin, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law helping them harvest sesame and peanuts...

He and his brother work day and night, and they're still too busy to keep up.

Every day, the Gu family is always causing trouble, constantly stirring up problems.

It's as if they don't exist if they don't cause trouble.

Seeing this, Gu Yucheng quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Jiang: "Xiao Jiang, don't go. Uncle Village Head, don't let Xiao Jiang go. Let's handle this ourselves..."

Seeing his son's behavior, Gu Yongliang trembled with rage and roared with bloodshot eyes, "Let him go! Do you really think the gates of the yamen are open to them?"

Even if the county magistrate comes, it's a fact that Fang Jin assaulted someone, and compensation is due!

His shout not only interrupted Gu Yucheng's subsequent words, but also emboldened the Gu clan.

Lin Li was looking at Dongfang Jin, as if asking, "What should we do?"

Dongfang Jin: Why are you looking at me? Just do what needs to be done.

Lin Lizheng understood her thoughts when he saw that she neither stopped him nor said anything.

He said to his youngest son, "Go, don't you have the privilege of being exempted from being beaten? Go quickly..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Then a deep, resonant, and powerful voice came from behind the crowd: "No need to go anymore, we're here."

Dongfang Jin turned around and saw Li Xiuwen walking over with several government officials.

The constables wore uniforms, and each had a knife hanging from their waist.

Some people were holding whips, and others were holding ropes. Their cheeks and hands were red from the cold.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Jin thought of Gu Chenglin taking away the cotton-padded military hat and the hand warmer her grandmother had made for her when she was a child.

With these things, people going in and out won't have to suffer from the cold.

She had only been standing there for a short while when she felt a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet.

When I get home, I'll draw the picture and have Aunt Hui and the others make a few. Hmm, we can sell them for money. It just so happens that we have a few more mouths to feed, so we need some income.

Lin Lizheng saw the person approaching and his heart skipped a beat; a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

Thinking that her eldest son hadn't returned yet, it seemed...

He hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed respectfully: "Officer Li, why have you come in person?"

Li Xiuwen nodded to Dongfang Jin in greeting, then looked at Lin Lizheng and sneered, "Heh, Village Chief Lin, you're about to become famous again."

Today, we have the magistrates from several surrounding counties and the dean of Yunshu Academy joining us for a gathering.

Someone went to the government office to report that someone in Lingwu Village had bullied his younger brother and broken his brother's leg and right arm.

Sure enough, the county magistrate has ordered us to arrest people. By the way, your son Lin Yu and Xu Zhuanghua are our witnesses.

The doctor from Yonghetang also provided medical evidence, and a case has been filed with conclusive evidence.

This was the first time he had ever seen Jun Xiucai holding the medical certificate that the doctor had written for the patient.

The patient's condition was described very clearly inside, including the doctor's name, medication, and dates.

Their county magistrate also said that this should be implemented in the future, as it would be an important piece of evidence in the case.

Lin Lizheng hadn't expected the child to be so badly injured, and he was speechless for a moment.

Upon hearing that Shen Qihui's legs and arms were broken, Gu Jingye threw himself into Dongfang Jin's arms and cried, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left him here, and I especially shouldn't have let him get into a fight."

The anger in Dongfang Jin's eyes rose again. She held Gu Jingye in one arm and patted his shoulder with the other: "Alright, stop crying. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days."

"Since you don't have the ability to foresee the future, the magistrate will take care of this for us."

Seeing his nephew crying so bitterly, Li Xiuwen felt uneasy and shouted into the crowd, "Who is Gu Jinsuo!"

A member of the Lin clan pointed at the "round ball" and said, "Sir, that's the little fat boy."

Gu Jinshuo was terrified when he saw the constable: "It wasn't me, I didn't hit anyone, it was him, it was this lowly slave, he's the one who hit me, it has nothing to do with me."

Grandma Gu rushed over without a second thought and pulled her grandson back, saying, "He's not my grandson. He's timid and never hits anyone."

Ye Shilan also ran over and stood next to her mother-in-law, blocking her son: "It was that lowly servant who hit him, not my son."

Li Xiuwen looked at the person lying on the ground, went over and kicked him. He saw that the person was still groaning, but blood was still flowing from his knee. It was good that he was not dead.

"Whose slave is he?"

Lin Jiang pushed away Gu Yucheng's hand, which was still holding his: "Gu Jinsuo, he also said that the guard's indenture is on him."

He saw it with his own eyes; the boy wouldn't listen to his advice and even let that damned servant push him.

Granny Gu glared angrily at Lin Jiang: "You're talking nonsense! My grandson is only seven years old, how could he possibly have such a thing?"

One of the children who had apologized to Gu Jingye earlier stepped forward: "He does have one; the indenture is on Gu Jinsuo."

After he said that, some children stood up and said, "Yes, Gu Jinshuo said that his maternal grandfather bought this person for him."

"Yes, Gu Jinshuo said that his maternal grandfather bought his family of three from a human trafficker."

"Gu Jinshuo also said that they used to be servants of wealthy families, but they committed a crime in their master's house and were sold."

"Gu Jinshuo said that the man's wife was taken in by his uncle, so he gave her to him and brought her back to Lingwu Village."

"Yes, that's what Gu Jinshuo said, and we were all there."

Granny Gu glared at them fiercely and cursed, "You bastards, who gave you permission to frame my grandson?"

My grandson is only seven years old, what does he know?

A mother with one child was furious: "How can you be so vicious, old woman? How is my child a bastard?"

"Yes, your grandson plays with our kids all day long, doesn't he? He doesn't say anything."

"You're still Tong Shenglang's mother, how come you keep cursing all the time?"

Ye Shilan put her hands on her hips and said, "So what if I scolded you? You're allowed to frame my son?"

“Hey, Madam Ye, who framed your son? If he didn’t show off, who would know he had a servant?”

"Exactly! If your son hadn't lured my son with pastries, do you think my son would have followed your little pig's nonsense?"

"Sun Yang's daughter, you bitch, it's all because your son is greedy..."
