Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

The official visit this time was a routine matter. After all, there was a conflict between the village chief's family and the Hua family, so the possibility of a vendetta could not be ruled out.

"Since there has been a murder, we should cooperate."

Li Haitang was reasonable. She asked about the obstruction on the official road. It would not be clear until evening at the earliest.

Since I couldn't leave, I had to stop in Yangshu Village for a day and go to the Yamen without delay.

"Mama Yu, Ging Guo, you guys stay here with the bean bags."

The Yamen was not a good place. She didn't want to take her son to see the world, and there was a strong evil atmosphere there, which was not good for the little baby.

The suspects were her, Wufu, and three members of the Hua family. When the village chief saw this, he felt that they were not worthy enough because they were either disabled or women. Finally, he made random nonsense and added Xiao Lingchuan to the list.

"Husband, I want to interview you. How does it feel to be regarded as a murderer?"

Li Haitang did not forget to make fun of his savage husband. He was just watching the fun and not afraid of trouble.

"Perhaps, you can consider doing it for real."

Xiao Lingchuan looked at the village chief's family. Even if they killed someone, it would be no big deal. It wasn't the first time they had done such a thing anyway.

He was not a kind person to begin with, but his temper changed a bit after getting Beanbao. In the past, he just wanted to smash the village chief's eggs, but now it seems that he should be punished more severely.

Li Haitang curled his lips, knowing what the savage husband said.

The people in the Yamen didn't feel embarrassed, so Li Haitang got into his carriage and asked Wufu to drive the three members of the Hua family to the carriage.

This behavior made the village chief and his family very angry. They were the main victims. Why could the murderer still ride the carriage comfortably?

"That's my own carriage. What can I do?"

As if sensing the resentment of the village chief's family, the official mounted his horse, looked down and said something with a frown.

They all came on horseback, so they couldn't bring anyone to the Yamen.

The conditions of the village chief's family are considered acceptable in Yangshu Village. There is an ox cart at home, so the village chief can only use a whip to drive the cattle, slowly and leisurely, and is far behind.

Fortunately, the county government office was not far from Yangliu Village, and within an hour, the group finally reached their destination.

Li Haitang's expression remained unchanged. This was not the first time he came to the Yamen. Let alone a small Yamen, how could someone who had been on death row be afraid of such a gesture?

The stupid son of the village chief's family died, and his death was miserable. This was a big event in Yangliu Village. Some people in the village came to watch the excitement, some relying on bullock carts, and some just relying on two legs.

"Do you think it was really the Hua family that did it?"

"I don't think so. The Hua family are honest people. Hua Ni's father has poor legs and feet, so it's impossible to go out on rainy days."

The villagers who have been dealing with him for many years have a good idea of ​​what the village chief's family is like. It's just hard to offend him, but it's not that they can't distinguish the facts.

As for the passer-by killing the fat man, it is even more nonsense. Who has nothing to argue with a fool? Are you full after eating?

"Whose family is that? It must be from our village."

The two villagers looked at each other, and then gathered together to whisper. They didn't know this, but they were shocked when they said it. It turned out that the fool had done so many weird things, which simply refreshed his three views!

In the court hall, Li Haitang and others stood in the corner, leaving the front row seats to the village chief and his family.

As soon as the village chief's wife entered the lobby, she knelt down with a plop and cried miserably, "I beg Master Qingtian to make the decision for the son of a peasant woman!"

The magistrate is an old man with a gray beard. He looks like he is getting older, and he looks kind-hearted, like an old man.

When I saw someone kneeling down and crying, they did so calmly and without any sense of majesty.

Li Haitang sighed, it was the first time he saw such an unofficial magistrate, but people should not be judged by their appearance, who knows if there is a sinister man plundering people's wealth behind his back.

"Husband, looking at the magistrate's appearance, there must be no one behind him."

Li Haitang stood in the back row, gossiping with interest. If the fool dies, he must have offended someone. He couldn't tell but it was his own fault. What does it have to do with her?

Even if she was just passing by to catch up, she could still be falsely accused as a suspect, which was unjust.

"Oh? Madam, how did you tell?"

Xiao Lingchuan stared straight ahead, but his mind was entirely on his wife, and the couple talked quietly.

"Isn't this obvious? If there is someone above, why are you still a magistrate at this age?"

Li Haitang twitched his lips, suddenly realizing that the topic was a bit boring.

The so-called "bringing a noble son from a poor family" is almost impossible in Daqi. No money means no money to study. If nothing else, you can't afford to go to Beijing to take the exam.

If you are really talented and lucky enough to be admitted as a Jinshi, no one in the court will talk to you, so you can only be assigned to a remote rural area as a county magistrate, which will not lead to a position for decades.

Therefore, it is not without reason that scholars are said to be unlucky. After passing the exam, in order to get a good place, most people have long lost their conscience, and like Chen Shimei, abandon their wives and accept the unspoken rules.

"Who is this person, and why are you in court?"

The county magistrate knocked on the wood of the hall and asked slowly.

"Sir, the Liu family of Yangshu Village, a civilian woman, came here because my son died tragically yesterday and was found by the river this morning..."

Mrs. Liu is a village woman with no ink in her belly. What she said in court was what she had seen an opera troupe perform before. There was one section where she was asking questions. She used some of them to explain things clearly.

"Last year, a man from the Hua family was in the mountains and his leg was broken by a fallen tree. He lost too much blood and fell into a coma. If my family hadn't taken the initiative to send ginseng, the man from the Hua family would have died!"

Liu's eloquent tongue made up the concept, and vaguely called ginseng whiskers ginseng. He also said that the ginseng was bought by his own family. The two families are not related, but they just lent it to the Hua family for emergency use, and the Hua family agreed. .

Her family was not the kind of unreasonable family, so they made an agreement with Hua Ni’s mother to pay back the money within a year.

The magistrate nodded frequently, indicating that he understood, but what is the relationship between the dead and debts?

"Mr. Zhou, is what Liu said true?"

Within one year, if the money is not paid back, Hua Ni will be sent to be a child bride. The conditions are a bit harsh, but who doesn’t have some thoughts? The county magistrate said it was understandable.

Although she is going to be a child bride for a fool, if she is a normal person, I am afraid that the parents will not need to be so calculating. How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world!

Li Haitang opened her mouth. She couldn't believe what she heard. The village chief's selfish behavior was actually described as well-intentioned by the county magistrate. She should let Xiangli listen and finally meet a more holy being. No. , is the Holy Father.

Mrs. Liu agreed with the magistrate's words and knelt down and kowtowed, believing that her actions were not wrong.

This scene was so eye-catching that Li Haitang didn't want to watch it anymore. If it hadn't been related to her, she would have turned around and left. According to the magistrate's logic, if the family has no money, it is understandable that they go out to rob and kill people. They are all poor and troublesome. Who wants to be poor?
