Chapter 132 Reporting the crime, the county magistrate was frightened and fell to his knees

Melome turned around and looked from a distance. The person taking the lead was none other than Village Chief Lu!

Mei Laoer didn't know why and asked in confusion: "Why does this village chief come to our place?"

Even for the matter of settling in, their former village head Mei Changduan took the money and took the initiative to go to him. He tried to persuade her to help them get their household registration, but now this man came suddenly and looked weird.

Melome vaguely guessed why he came, so she just sent her father to say: "You go to work first, I will take care of this matter."

Seeing what his daughter said, Mei Laoer said no more and just took Li to continue working.

Although he was still a little worried, he also knew that staying here would not help him at all, so he might as well go to work.

Anyway, ordinary people can't beat his daughter.

Village Chief Lu quickly brought a group of villagers to Melomei, and began to beat her up.

"Girl Mei, it's you who took Er Lengzi's cow, isn't it?"

Melome snorted coldly, "Oh, I haven't accused him of stealing my cattle yet, so you accuse him first. What's the point?"

Why is his face so big when he returns his cow?

Now that he had someone to back him up, Erluzi jumped out immediately, "Why did you steal it? I obviously bought it with my money, but you girl led someone to knock on the door and robbed it away."

He raised his chin and complained: "They not only robbed cattle, but also beat people."

Speaking of beating people, he felt his face hurt a little more.

"You obviously stole it, and you still said you were buying it. The cows from the lady's family have obvious marks, and all the villagers here know them. You just want to get the cows from the lady's family with empty words. It's a good idea."

When Mei Xiang saw that the other party did not distinguish between right and wrong, she became indignant and burned with rage.

Erluzi thought that there were indeed three marks on the back of the cow's butt. He felt a little guilty, but he still said: "What sign? Do you mean those three marks on the back of the cow's butt? It's a joke. I was scratched by the big yellow dog in the village when I was herding cattle.

Everyone in our village can testify."

This was purely a fabrication. The villagers following Village Chief Lu couldn't help but lower their heads, feeling their faces get a little hot.

If the village chief hadn't promised benefits for coming, they wouldn't have come.

Mei Xiang was dissatisfied and said: "Our lady's cattle are registered. You say they are your cattle. Do they have cattle registration?"

Nowadays, anyone who buys a cow will go to the Yamen to settle down and apply for a household registration for the cow to avoid such things from happening.

Mei Xiang said this, and Village Chief Lu also knew that this was not an honest matter, but he thought that Erluzi had promised to give him half the money after selling the cow, so he went ahead with it.

"Of course there is a Niu Ji, but now it has been stolen by you."

He knew that he couldn't say that he didn't have the right status, as saying that he didn't would be a slap in the face, so he had to grit his teeth and say that the other party had stolen it.

They are all bastards who are illiterate. Who knows whose names are written on the cattle register? Village Chief Lu just blocks them all from knowing how to read.

Mei Xiang saw how shameless these people were and looked at Melo Mei who felt extremely wronged. "Miss, look at these people... they..."

Melo Mei asked her to step aside and said coldly to Village Chief Lu: "Since you don't accept your account, then take the Niu Ji and go to the Yamen and let the county magistrate make the decision."

I have never seen such a shameless person, which makes people feel shaken. If you don't give him some color, you may come to trouble them in the future.

Thinking of this, Melomei made up her mind to make Village Chief Lu and Er Lengzi look good.

Village Chief Lu had something to rely on and was not afraid. He immediately said: "If you go to the Yamen, just go to the Yamen. Do you think that the Village Chief is afraid of you and not afraid of telling you that the county magistrate is my wife's uncle?"

Yo ho! It turns out they are related!

Melome raised her eyebrows, "I'm afraid that your wife and uncle won't be able to protect you, but will drag you into trouble instead."

"She's just a girl among the refugees. She really thinks she's a loser."

Village Chief Lu dismissed it and threatened: "I tell you that if you hand over the cow obediently, today's matter will be forgotten. If you don't hand over the cow, don't blame me for being rude."

Melome said impatiently: "Now it is up to me whether I want to let you go, not whether you are polite."

"If you don't drink enough alcohol, you will be fined. I'll see you at the Yamen."

When Village Chief Lu saw that the girl refused to hand over the cow, he was very angry and wanted to kill Wei Feng.

Not to be outdone, Melomei smiled coldly and said sadly: "Let's go, Village Chief Lu."

A large group of people headed to the county town. When they reached the front, they met Mei Changduan.

As soon as Mei Changduan heard that someone dared to openly rob Mei's cattle, he immediately called a few villagers and followed them to the Yamen, in order to testify for Mei Luomei.

Everyone came to the county government office together, and Mero Mei asked Shisan to play the Shengtang drum.

As soon as the hall drum sounded, the county magistrate knew that someone had reported the crime and that it was time to make money. He immediately went to the back hall to report to the county magistrate.

Soon, Melo Mei, Mei Xiang Shisan and Village Chief Lu stood in the lobby, while other villagers were blocked outside.

Non-participants are not allowed to enter and can only watch from a distance.

The county magistrate quickly came to the hall, slapped the wooden door and said, "Who is in the hall? Tell me your name."

Village Chief Lu immediately knelt down with Er Lengzi and replied: "Young man is the village chief of Lu De Village. He came to sue the refugee Mei family. The third girl brought people into the house and openly robbed the big bull of Er Lengzi, a villager in Lu De Village."

When Mei Xiang heard this, she became anxious and immediately retorted, "Master, he is talking nonsense. This cow obviously belongs to the lady's family. They bought it in Shuanghe Village, Yinzhou, but now they bite back and want to take possession of our cow."

The county magistrate frowned and slapped the gavel, "Be quiet, be quiet, I didn't call you, what did you say?"

Mei Xiang was stunned and had to retreat bitterly.

Seeing this, the county magistrate muttered a few words to the county magistrate. The county magistrate nodded and said angrily: "Why don't the three of you in the hall not bow to me when you meet the official?"

Merome crossed her arms and said calmly: "I'm afraid you can't bear it."

The county magistrate did not expect this man to be so arrogant and was very angry. He immediately reached out and pulled out a wooden sign and threw it on the ground.

"You have no law, come here, hit me, hit me hard."

All the government officials obeyed orders and were ready to take action.

Melome raised her eyebrows, smiled coldly, and took out a small print from her arms, "Open your eyes wide and see, what is this?"

When the county magistrate saw the seal, he was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly panicked.

He immediately stood up from his seat, walked off the stage, and knelt on the ground trembling.

"I beg your pardon for the low-ranking official who has too much eyesight to recognize noble people."

When everyone saw the county magistrate, they all knelt down. Although they didn't understand what happened, they still knelt down in a loud voice.

Although Melome didn't like others to kneel down frequently, she suddenly felt very happy at this moment.

He put the seal in his arms and said to Mei Xiang beside him: "Mei Xiang, help me sit up."

Although Mei Xiang didn't understand what happened, she still helped Mei Luomei in a daze and let her sit where the county magistrate was sitting just now.

Thirteen followed with his sword in hand and stood aside.

Melome sat on the stage and glanced condescendingly at the people kneeling in front, and finally fixed her gaze on the county magistrate kneeling in front.

When the magistrate saw that the noble man had gone to his seat, he immediately turned around on his knees and lay on the ground shivering.

Merome ignored everyone's reaction, just patted the gavel and said coldly: "Your Excellency, magistrate, don't you want to try the case? Why don't you do it as soon as possible?"
