The discussions of the common people outside the court made the county magistrate's face darken, and he banged the gavel loudly.

"Silence! No one is allowed to make any noise!" the county magistrate shouted, and the people outside the door shut their mouths very tactfully.

The county magistrate stroked his goatee and glanced calmly at the legal advisor next to him.

The lawyer nodded to the county magistrate imperceptibly, then turned around and stared at Shen Rong with a gloomy look, "This is just your one-sided statement. Do you have any evidence? If not, you are slandering me and you will be punished!"

"Ms. Shen, do you have any evidence?" the county magistrate immediately agreed.

Shen Rong was stunned. How could they have evidence for such a thing? However, Shen Rong thought of the gossips among neighbors and said, "Everyone in the neighborhood knows about this."

The master sneered, "What you said is just some rumors in the market, which cannot be counted. You have no witnesses or physical evidence, but Wu has witnesses, and the injuries on the deceased can also prove that it was caused by Gong Changsheng. What else do you have to defend yourself?"

Without waiting for Shen Rong to explain, the county magistrate slammed the gavel and shouted, "It is true that Gong Changsheng murdered someone. Come, take the criminal away and detain him. He will be executed in the autumn!"

"Mr. Justice is wise!" the old woman shouted hurriedly.

"Sir, it's unjust!" Shen Rong was shocked. She never thought that the case would be judged so hastily. Before she could make any more explanations, several officers swarmed up, pressed Changsheng down and dragged him away.

"Eternal life, eternal life!"

Shen Rong hurriedly got up and tried to chase after the man, but was pulled away by other officers. By the time she broke free, Changsheng had already disappeared.

Outside the crowd, everyone in the Shen family was sweating profusely with anxiety, but they were afraid of the officials and did not dare to rush into the court. When they saw Shen Rong being dragged out, they hurried forward to take their sister over.

"Sanniang, let's go back and think of a solution first." Shen Chunsheng is the boss after all, so he tends to be calmer when encountering things.

"Yes, sister, let's go back and think of a solution for this matter first. If you are arrested for disturbing the court, no one will save Changsheng." Shen Dongting also advised.

After listening to what the two brothers said, Shen Rong nodded randomly and agreed, but in fact her whole mind was thinking about how to save Changsheng.

The three brothers also helped to support Shen Rong back home.

Shen Dongting poured a glass of water for his sister and advised, "Sister, this matter may be difficult to handle. I heard that the man surnamed Chai is the county magistrate's brother-in-law. You said before that Changsheng was warned by Wang Dahu and others because of the incident with the man surnamed Chai. The officials will definitely protect his brother-in-law. I'm afraid your brother-in-law is in danger."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Changsheng will be fine as long as he didn't kill anyone." Shen Chunsheng scolded his brother.

Shen Rong sniffed, "Brother, don't lie to me. Dong Ting is right. The county magistrate is in cahoots with that Chai guy. Since Changsheng has caught Chai's adultery many times, I'm afraid Changsheng's situation is not good... I'm going to..." Shen Rong said this and suddenly raised her head and looked around, "Where are grandpa and grandma?"

Shen Rong suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to see the two old people outside the court just now.

"Did you see Changsheng's grandpa and grandma just now?" Shen Rong asked again.

The Shen Chunsheng brothers arrived late, and they did not see Grandpa Changsheng and Grandma Changsheng. Instead, Shen Dongting patted his head and said, "I arrived earlier than you. At first, I saw them standing outside the court. Later, my brother-in-law was beaten with a stick, and I was so busy worrying about him that I didn't know when they left."

Shen Rong's mind became more and more confused. She originally planned to discuss it with her grandfather and take out the old ginseng from home to see if she could find a way to save Changsheng. But suddenly she found that the two old men were missing, and Shen Rong felt a little panicked.

Nothing will happen to grandpa and grandma, right?

"Changsheng's grandpa and grandma should be fine. Grandpa Changsheng practices medicine and saves lives. Maybe he has gone to ask his former patients for help?" Shen Chunsheng guessed.

Although Sixth Grandpa hardly charges any money for treating the villagers in Taohua Village, his medical skills are actually quite good. He usually relies on practicing medicine to save lives, and in the past many officials and businessmen came to him to give him gifts of thanks. That's why Shen Chunsheng made this guess.

Shen Rong thought about it and became a little uncertain.

If this is the case, then Changsheng will be fine.

When Shen Rong thought of this possibility, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.

However, Shen Rong did not plan to sit at home and wait for death. She returned to her room, entered the space and took out all her savings, including the burial objects she had picked up in the West Mountain. There were 1,100 taels of silver, a bag of gold beans, and a bunch of valuable gold, silver and jade ornaments. This bag of things was enough for a family to spend in a lifetime.

Shen Rong still felt that it was not enough. Seeing the ginseng field and the Ganoderma lucidum field, she left the space, turned around and went into the pharmacy in the backyard, and took out the hundreds of years old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that had been processed.

When Shen Rong came out with those things, the Shen brothers were stunned.

"Sanniang, where did all these come from?" Shen Chunsheng couldn't help but ask.

"This seems to be the ancient tomb in Xishan... This seems to be ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum..." Shen Dongting looked at the gold and silver and could tell the origin of these things at a glance.

At that time, he searched for many days in the west of the village and found a jade ring. The pattern of the jade ring was very similar to the one Shen Rong had taken out now. Shen Dongting immediately thought of the tomb.

Shen Xiachang stared at the bag of gold, silver, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in amazement and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Brother, do you think that if we give this to that guy named Chai, will he let Changsheng go?" Shen Rong's mind was full of the image of Changsheng being dragged away, and she didn't have time to think about it any more.

Shen Chunsheng thought about it, shook his head and said, "These things of yours are burial objects. I don't recommend giving them to poor people like us, but Mr. Chai, if you give these things away, I'm afraid you will offend people. You can pawn these gold and silver jewelry and exchange them for money. Then we can go find Mr. Chai and try again."

"Yes! Let's go to the pawnshop first... and then... find Madam Wu. Brother, do you think Madam Wu would be willing to help us get together?" Shen Rong looked at the three brothers with hope.

The three brothers of the Shen family didn't know what to say at this moment. My sister was really anxious and confused. She just exposed the affair between Madam Wu and that guy named Chai in the court. If it were anyone else, no one would help, right?

"Sister, it would be great if we could find an official higher than the county magistrate." Shen Dongting sighed.

Their whole family are just ordinary people with no connections. When they want to ask someone for help, they can't even find the temple door even if they have a pig's head in their hand. It's a really uncomfortable feeling.

At this time, Shen Dongting, whose son had just learned to walk, secretly made up his mind that he would supervise his son's studies well and help him to succeed and change his family's status.

After listening to her brother's words, Shen Rong suddenly remembered something.

At the beginning, after she and Changsheng saved Master Zhou, Master Zhou gave her and Changsheng a jade pendant. He also left a message: "If you have any problems in the future, you can take this thing and go to the city to ask for help from the co-magistrate Yang Yuan."
