After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 426: Change the village head to another surname

boom!

County Magistrate Kang's anger soared again, and he slammed the table and asked angrily: "Didn't we tell them to wait? You didn't listen to the county magistrate and brought people here to ask for an audience without permission. Are you trying to force them?!"

"And weren't they and Captain Wu under separate guard? How did they get together? Who's in charge of guarding them? Go and accept your punishment!"

I'm really furious.

Yang County Lieutenant and Feng County Magistrate came out to plead guilty: "It is my fault, Your Excellency. Please forgive me."

After they apologized, the clerk reminded them, "Mr. County Magistrate, Village Chief Wu is seriously injured and is old. I suggest that you see him as soon as possible, lest something happens to him, the Wu family members will feel resentful and make trouble."

The Wu family is a large family in the countryside with many people. If they start to make trouble, it would be a bit annoying.

County Magistrate Kang thought about it and agreed: "Okay. But let them go to the court and wait. If you have anything to say, let them talk in court."

Since the Wu family wants to use Wu the head of the village to put pressure on the government, there is no need for him to give them face. See you in court!

After saying this, County Magistrate Kang glanced at Master Lu.

Lieutenant Yang and Magistrate Feng were horrified, knowing very well that Magistrate Kang was going to completely abandon the Wu family as a helper.

"I'll arrange it right away." Lawyer Lu immediately took several Lu yamen runners to do it... They were members of the Lu family, unlike Lawyer Han who was a local, and they would not give face to the locals.

Not long after the group left the office yard, they met the elders and children of the Wu family who were carrying Village Chief Wu.

Fortunately, there is a door here, and the Wu family was stopped outside this door.

But the gatekeepers were locals, and the Wu family knew them. They cried out, "Peng Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, your cousin's family is in our town, and you've been to our town before, so you know our Wu family. Now our headman's family has been destroyed by someone, and you youngsters can't just stand by and watch."

Shocked, they actually know idioms.

After hearing this, Peng Xiaoqi felt hot on the face and thought it was really shameful to know the Wu family.

But the Peng family is a local family and is a relative of the Kong family in Taifeng Town. His family also needs to visit relatives in Taifeng Town, so it is really not easy to offend the Wu family.

"My fellow uncles and brothers of the Wu family, I have sent someone to inform you, please wait a moment..."

"What are you waiting for? If we wait any longer, and something happens to our headman, will you be responsible?!"

Peng Xiaoqi: “…”

Damn it, you can’t do such a thing.

"Xiao Qi, we know you're in trouble. So, come, take Xiao Qi and the others aside, and we'll tear down the door ourselves to go see the county magistrate!" Wu Liukui suddenly gave this order as if his brain had been eaten.

Want to ask him why he is so crazy?

The reason was that the head of the village, Wu, was about to die, and Wu Liukui felt that he would succeed the position of head of the village... After all, Wu Da was dead, Wu Xingzu was disabled, and Wu Er was in the provincial capital. Now in Wujia Village, only he, a prestigious elder, could take over the position.

After hearing this, the Wu family members actually did as they were told.

Behind the door, Master Lu and his men had already arrived. After hearing this, they stood behind the door without moving or saying a word, waiting for the Wu family to break in.

Therefore, when the Wu family members took apart the door, they were caught red-handed by Master Lu and his men.

Master Lu said in a deep voice with a dark face, "The Wu family's children ignored the advice and forced their way into the government office. This crime is equivalent to trespassing. Record it and wait for the verdict!"

By crime, he was a professional.

Besides, he did not wrongly accuse the Wu family, he just exaggerated the charges.

Thump thump thump thump!

The Wu family members were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy with pale faces: "Please forgive us, sir. We didn't mean to break in. Please be wise and forgive us this time."

Wu Liukui said, "Master Lu, we were in a hurry to see the county magistrate, so we broke into the house in a hurry..."

She sobbed again, "Our village chief and my brothers really can't wait any longer!"

"Hmph, let's put things in perspective. Don't try to confuse the public." Master Lu didn't fall for their tricks. After severely shocking the Wu family, he said, "Take Chief Wu to the court. The county magistrate will go to the court to see you."

"What? Go, go to the court?" Wu Liukui was shocked. He didn't want to go to the court, so he asked, "Sir, we are almost at the county magistrate's office. Can you take us to the office to meet County Magistrate Kang alone?"

"Do you have any honors? How dare you, a commoner, ask to meet the county magistrate alone!" Master Lu didn't give him any face and said directly: "Go to the court. This is the order of the county magistrate. Those who disobey will be arrested."

This?

Wu Liukui was confused. Why was this different from what he expected?

What he was thinking was to carry the head of the village, Wu, to meet Magistrate Kang, and use the tragedy of the Wu family to negotiate with Magistrate Kang, so that Magistrate Kang could directly appoint him or another member of the Wu family as the new head of the village today.

"Come here, take them to the court." Without further ado, Master Lu ordered the bailiffs to drive the children of the Wu family to the court.

The Wu family had no choice but to carry Village Chief Wu back.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"The government office is open. Someone has arrived in the court. The court is about to begin!"

At a shout, people from the county town who were hiding near the government office came out one after another and rushed towards the government office. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the government office. There were three layers of people inside and outside the government office, and it was packed with people.

"Ouch, you stepped on my foot, squeeze over!"

"I can't squeeze in anymore, there are more people on my side... You're thin, please squeeze over to your side!"

"If we gather here to watch the show like this, we won't be arrested by the government and thrown into jail, right?"

"Don't worry, this government will open its doors wide, which means it tacitly allows the people to come and watch the trial."

The Wu family's incident caused too much trouble. The news spread yesterday. People in the county have been worried for a whole day and night. Early this morning, some people came to the Yamen Street to wander around, waiting to watch the court session.

"Listen up, everyone at the back. Village Chief Wu is also in the court. He's alive, alive, and in good spirits!"

"Oh my god, he's still alive? He looks pretty energetic, maybe it's a last gasp."

"How dare he come out and see people? If I were him, I would have hanged myself a long time ago. What a shame!"

"Hey, you can't say that. After all, the Wu family is the victim."

"What a victim! What happened to his family is retribution! Who in the whole Tianfu County doesn't know him? He's almost dead but he's still forcing young girls to sleep with him. He's also spending money to promote himself as still strong and healthy, having a son in his old age, and being from a blessed family... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if he's blessed or not, but he's really shameless."

Inside the room, the village chief Wu, who was recovering from his last moments of consciousness, listened to all these words without missing a word, and felt a sweet taste in his throat again: "Puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Lu Pangsan: "Doctor Xue, please save him quickly."

Doctor Xue: “…”

It’s the last bit of life, how can we save it?

The best you can do is use slices of old ginseng to keep the patient alive.

But the ginseng slices are so rare. If I give them to Captain Wu, he’s afraid of being struck by lightning.

Fortunately, Magistrate Kang, Lieutenant Yang, Assistant County Magistrate Feng, legal advisors, clerks, bailiffs and dozens of other people arrived at the court.

"The court is in session. Silence! Silence! Silence!" the yamen runners shouted in deep voices, beating the brick surface with their killing sticks, making waves of sound that struck people's hearts directly and made them shudder.

The surroundings immediately became quiet.

Magistrate Kang also saw that Captain Wu had shown some signs of life, so he did not dare to delay and immediately had the evidence from the interrogation produced so that everyone could understand the whole story of the Wu family case.

"According to the confessions of Wu Laosi, Wu Xingzu, and Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, the Huang sisters were indeed forced by the men of the Wu family."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Lichang vomited blood again and shouted with all his might: "The Wu family is innocent... We didn't force Huang Xianniang... She volunteered..."

County Magistrate Feng said, "Captain Wu, save your energy. The person who confessed that you and Uncle Wu forced Huang Xianniang together was Wu Xingzu, your own grandson."

These words were meant to remind Captain Wu that everything was a foregone conclusion and that there was no need to struggle any further. You should offer sacrifices to the gods as soon as possible to avoid implicating us.
