The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

In the afternoon of the next day, the sound of "dong dong" drums of complaints was heard from the Suanzao County Government Office. The sound was deafening and reached the sky.

The gatekeeper was startled and ran out to see what was going on.

I saw a young man in a dark grey robe holding a drumstick in both hands with a solemn face, beating the drums vigorously one by one, seemingly with no intention of stopping.

"Hey, hey, hey, who are you and why are you beating the drum?"

The young man did not stop beating the drum, and replied: "I am Li Jiyi, from Dongyan Village, Zaoye Town, and I am here to appeal for the injustice done to my cousin Jiang Muxia."

When the bailiff heard the three words "Jiang Muxia", his face changed and he hurried back to the yamen to report to County Magistrate Feng.

Upon hearing the noise, many people came to the gate of the county government office and discussed the strange thing happening before their eyes. It seemed that no one in Suanzao County dared to beat the drum for more than ten years!

How great a grievance must the young man in front of me have to dare to do this? I wonder if he can withstand thirty sticks?

"Hey, have you heard?" A man lowered his voice and said, "The second daughter of Magistrate Feng's family killed a young man with a knife at the Lai Ju Tavern yesterday. Magistrate Feng pushed the blame onto the female manager of the Si Hai Restaurant to exonerate his daughter. The boy beating the drum is a waiter in the restaurant. He is here to appeal for the female manager."

The person who was speaking had a dark complexion. Anyone who knew him would definitely recognize him as Wang Laoqi, who had been working at the ferry for many years.

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. The county magistrate's daughter fell in love with Tang Juecao, but Tang Juecao liked Miss Jiang. So Miss Feng Er started to hate Miss Jiang and kept causing trouble for her. Miss Jiang kept putting up with him and I heard that Tang Juecao was going to send her back to her hometown. So she was desperate and wanted to kill Miss Jiang, but a young man came out and blocked the knife for her. That's how she saved her life."

The person who spoke this time was Hu Daxin’s good brother Wang Er.

"Isn't it? She just got her life back, and now she's about to be thrown away again. Miss Jiang is so pitiful!"

"Has Magistrate Feng ever done anything good for the people since he came to Suanzao County? He always colluded with those merchants to exploit the people. He is truly a dog official who sucks the blood of the people. Miss Jiang often helps people at the ferry and has a good reputation. Moreover, because of the head of the Xu family, we have to help her as well."

Everyone echoed the voice and accused Magistrate Feng of allowing the girl to commit the crime and letting others take the blame for her in order to help her escape punishment.

Hu Daxin and Tang Si walked out of the yamen and exchanged glances with Wang Laoqi and Wang Er in the crowd.

The four of them went towards the east of the yamen.

The four of them stopped at a deserted place.

"Is the matter done?"

"Don't worry, big brother. We have found a storyteller since last night. He has been telling the story non-stop in the teahouses and taverns in the county. Now, I'm afraid the entire Suanzao County knows about the evil deeds of County Magistrate Feng and his daughter." Wang Er said proudly.

Hu Daxin patted his shoulder and said gratefully, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. After this, I will treat you all to dinner and drinks."

The four of them bowed and said goodbye, then left in three groups.

When Tang Si and Hu Daxin returned to the county government office, a large crowd had gathered at the gate, waving flags and shouting loudly for Li Jiyi. "Brother, we support you in seeking justice."

"Mr. Feng allowed his daughter to commit a crime and even framed someone else for the crime. He is not worthy of being a local official."

"Yes, County Magistrate Feng, get out of Suanzao County..."

Li Jiyi was no longer at the gate of the yamen, so Tang Si hurriedly pulled over a passerby and asked, "Where is the boy who beat the drum?"

Passersby looked him up and down, surprised that a policeman would ask a passerby, "He was dragged in, he must have been put on the board by now!"

"What?" Tang Si pulled Hu Daxin and pushed through the crowd and ran inside.

I ran and prayed, hoping that the young master could stop him. The boy was as thin as a monkey. Since this was related to Magistrate Feng's daughter, Magistrate Feng would definitely seek revenge. He would not show mercy when he was beaten with a stick. I'm afraid he couldn't bear three or five sticks.

As you step into the yamen, what catches your eye is Li Jiyi lying on a stool in the hall, with Tang Zhongbai standing next to him. Feng Nian is sitting in the hall, looking at Tang Zhongbai coldly.

Feng Nian snorted coldly: "Tang Juecao, are you trying to overstep your authority?"

"I dare not. I will obey the order to execute the accused first. But I will not allow you to seek personal gain in the name of public office."

"What do you think is necessary?"

"You and I will each find someone to carry out the execution together."

"Okay, I agree." He then glanced at Xun Qing beside him.

Xun Qing understood and wanted to leave.

Tang San followed.

A quarter of an hour later, Tang San and another officer came with shiny wooden sticks to carry out the execution.

Tang Zhongbai patted Li Jiyi on the shoulder, gave him a look, and walked aside to watch the execution.

As Tang San's first stick fell heavily, Li Jiyi cried out in pain.

The sticks hit faster and faster. The two men hit each other back and forth, and the fight was over in less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Jiyi was already in a daze. In the severe winter, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The color of the dark grey clothes on his buttocks became darker, and Hu Daxin stepped forward and helped him get off the stool.

Feng Nian shouted, "Li Jiyi, you can tell me who you are suing now."

Hu Daxin carefully helped him to the hall, and Li Jiyi knelt on the ground, his voice trembling and weak, "My cousin Jiang Muxia was framed, please investigate and clear her name."

After saying this, he kowtowed deeply.

"Humph, there are witnesses and evidence, how can she be wronged?"

Li Jiyi suddenly raised his head, staring at Feng Nian who was sitting in the hall with burning eyes, and asked through gritted teeth, "Where is the witness? What is the physical evidence? County Magistrate Feng, do you know who the real murderer is? As a local official, not only did you not protect your people, you also deliberately framed them. Are you worthy of being the official of Suanzao County?"

"How dare you insult County Magistrate Feng? Come, put this troublemaker in jail." Xun Qing shouted.

Tang Si glared at him and retorted, "You are so bold. You are just a clerk. Do you have the right to speak in the hall?"

"Humph, you are just a small clerk, and you dare to speak so arrogantly in the hall?"

"I am a county official with the same rank as a military commander. How can a mere clerk like you be compared to me?"

"you……"

Tang Zhongbai gave Tang San a look, and Tang San understood and walked out. When the situation in the hall was tense, Tang San secretly opened the tightly closed door.

He waved toward the door, and the people saw him and ran in.

"County Magistrate Feng, hand over your murderer and clear Miss Jiang's name. Get out of Suanzao County. We don't want a black-hearted county magistrate like you who lets his daughter commit murder."

"Yes, hand over the real murderer and release Miss Jiang."

The Suanzao County Yamen was filled with noise and shouts, which shook the sky.

Xun Qing jumped up and down and started to curse, "How dare you, a bunch of unruly people, slander Miss Feng Er? Are you all tired of living?"

"You evil official, you are the same as this dog official, get out of Suanzao County."

The situation was at a stalemate, and it looked like they would not give up until the second Miss Feng was handed over.

Feng Nian was so angry that he yelled, "Someone, drive these untouchables out."

The people in the hall wanted to rush up, pull Feng Nian down, and beat him up.

He was stopped by Tang Zhongbai and his men. He was waiting for the most important person. I wonder if Madam can convince her?
