As soon as she saw Mu's figure, Mu Nuan ran towards her quickly on her short legs.

"Mother, mother..." The soft and waxy child's voice is full of infinite attachment.

Madam Mu caught Mu Nuan and picked her up.

"Mom, everything is fine."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Mu Nuan hugged Mu's neck tightly and nestled on her shoulder.

Mrs. Mu gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.

Normally he is naughty and heartless, but now he is sensitive and delicate.

This made Mu Shi very worried.

If one day she is gone, will her daughter be unable to survive?

The tenderness did not last long, Mu said:

"Nuan Nuan, your friends are all watching. If you cry, you will probably be laughed at."

Mu Nuan: "..."

Sure enough, their mother and daughter are not suitable for the tender route!

Mu Nuan shook her short legs and asked to get off the ground.

Mu Shi put her down and Mu Nuan asked:

"Mother, what are the officials doing here?"

Mrs. Mu pulled her to the main seat and sat down, and said frankly:

"Something happened to the beggar you helped."

"Something happened?" the four people exclaimed.

The beggar has no relatives and will not offend anyone, so how can something happen?

Unless one of them offended someone and suffered some misfortune.

Thinking back on what happened these days, Mu Nuan couldn't determine who did it.

In the village, those who had trouble with her family included Aunt Wu's family, Mother Lu, Lu Shihai, and Wang Xiaolai.

In the county seat, there are shopkeepers Sun Bao and Mu.

Thinking of this, Mu Nuan suddenly felt that she had provoked a lot of people!

What Mu Nuan thought of, Mu Shi, Lu Shiyan, and Nan Yi naturally also thought of it, except for Liang Heng and Mei'er.

Mu said:

"I'll leave this matter to your Uncle Zhao. Let's celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."

If this matter cannot be resolved, he no longer needs to take on the role of leader.

Although the Mu family is preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, their mood is not as good as before.

County government.

Commander Zhao did not directly enter the county government office, but instead sounded the drum of grievance.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

The drums sound like thunder.

It didn't take long before it attracted some good people.

However, as the head of a county, he did not show up.

"Your master's official authority is quite high!"

Commander Zhao continued to beat the drum of injustice.

The people inside were impatient with the noise and opened the door.

When he saw the chief official at a glance, the disciple said angrily:

"Liu San, I told you to go back to the Yamen when you go back to the Yamen. There's no need to beat the drum!"

"Awang, I am not the one who plays the drum."

Liu San pointed to Commander Zhao on the side and said:

"It was this young master who knocked. He also tied up my men. You should go find the county magistrate quickly."

Awang took a closer look:

Good guy, the official was tied up.

Everyone has a bruised nose and swollen face, and is in a miserable state.

A Wang was just about to scold Commander Zhao for letting him go, but was startled by Commander Zhao's aura.

He said with a wink:

"Young man, I'm going to report it to the county magistrate for hearing the case."

Ngawang went to Houya, and the gatekeeper of Houya left and came back:

"Your Excellency is having a family dinner and has no time to attend the ceremony. If you have anything to do, come back another day."

Awang thought of Commander Zhao's murderous aura, and once again begged his disciples to report it.

After receiving the twenty coins given by Nga Wang, the disciple immediately went in to report the matter.

When Magistrate Sun saw the disciples returning, he felt displeased and scolded:

"Are you turning a deaf ear to what I say?"

The doorman knelt down and carefully reported:

"Awang, who is guarding the gate, said that the young man from outside has a very special origin."

Listening to the drums that continued to beat, Magistrate Sun looked very unhappy.

Thinking that the visitor might be the young master of the Mu family, Magistrate Sun put down his wine glass, stood up and said:

"Come here, bring me my official uniform."

Mrs. Sun asked:

"Master, is it necessary to go?"

"Nothing will happen to you during the Chinese New Year. I'll be back as soon as I go."

Magistrate Sun was not only comforting Mrs. Sun, but also comforting himself.

After Magistrate Sun left, the family dinner became boring.

Mrs. Sun said: "Everyone, let's go to the side hall to watch the show!"

"Sister, won't you wait for the master to come back?"

Mrs. Sun glanced at Aunt Gao:

"It won't be too late to serve food when the master comes back.

If my sister is willing to wait here, just wait here!"

Aunt Gao didn't want to sit here and wait alone, so she didn't say anything.

The son Sun Bao beside her showed little interest in the family dinner, and even less interest in watching a play.

At this time, he wanted to know if the matter was done?

While Mrs. Sun was taking the Sun family to watch a play, Magistrate Sun saw someone who frightened him very much.

Magistrate Sun cupped his hands and said:

"I've met Commander Zhao. I wonder why Commander Zhao is here?"

"Not only does Magistrate Sun have a bad memory now, but his hearing is also bad?"

Commander Zhao hit the grievance drum with his hammer.

The loud noise of "Boom!" scared many people!

But the person in front of me was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat!

Magistrate Sun came to this place entirely because of Commander Zhao. Seeing Commander Zhao now is like a mouse meeting a cat.

He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and asked tentatively:

"Commander Zhao wants to be promoted to a higher official?"

Zhao Tong nodded in understanding, pointed at the five officials lying on the ground and said:

"I want to sue them for illegally robbing villagers' property."

Magistrate Sun glanced at Liu San.

Liu San opened his mouth to explain, but when he met Commander Zhao's eyes, he quickly lowered his head.

Commander Zhao asked:

"As a parent official, Magistrate Sun stopped asking for orders for the people because of the Chinese New Year?"

After hearing this, Magistrate Sun didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately summoned the Yamen officials to the court.

In court.

Magistrate Sun asked about the case.

Liu San told the story again, hiding the things that were not good for him.

Magistrate Sun looked down at Commander Zhao, who was sitting down drinking tea, and asked confidently:

"It is common sense for officials to arrest people. What did Commander Zhao and the others do wrong?"

Commander Zhao did not speak. The attendant behind him took out a book of laws and threw it in front of Magistrate Sun.

Magistrate Sun did not read the law, but still looked at Commander Zhao.

He didn't think the official assignment was wrong.

Commander Zhao put down his teacup and asked:

"County Magistrate Sun, an official with no official rank and good character, whose status is lower than that of a good citizen. He dares to break into people's houses without holding the official documents of the county magistrate. Isn't this wrong?"

In Dongxuan, official servants are Zaoli, that is, government servants. They are people who have been punished with sticks and their status is extremely low. If they are beaten to death by officials, the officials are not responsible.

Liu San interjected and explained:

"Things have to be prioritized. The Gao County Lieutenant was afraid that the prisoner would escape, so when he found out where the prisoner was, he ordered his subordinates to arrest him."

Now they and Gao Xianwei are like grasshoppers on the same rope!

If something happens, they will definitely become the scapegoats!

Commander Zhao used retreat to advance and asked:

"For now, I think your reason is reasonable, but can you accept the robbery of property?"

Liu San glanced at the five kneeling people, gritted his teeth, knelt down and bowed his head and said:

"The management of the little one is not strict, I hope you can forgive me!"

Commander Zhao smiled and said:

"County Magistrate Sun, since they have pleaded guilty, I believe that the victim should be compensated for his loss of three hundred taels of silver."

Miss Mu should be very happy this time!

Magistrate Sun knocked on the gavel tree, and there was a "pop" sound.

"I agree with what Commander Zhao said. The six of you remember to collect three hundred taels of silver and give it to Commander Zhao."

As soon as he said this, Magistrate Sun realized something was wrong.

The sufferers here are also criminals.

Why is there no one around at this time?

Magistrate Sun asked: "Where are the Mu family and the Mu family girl?"
