Not wanting the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, he lowered his voice and said, "Hey, let's not talk about this. In the past few days, I have seen that there are no other items in the house except the quilt. Tomorrow we will go to the town to buy some things and come back Let's go. Also, I'll buy you some new clothes and shoes." Mo Ye counted with his fingers, but Tang Ruo hurriedly interrupted her.

"Brother Mo, I still have some clothes to wear, so don't waste the money. Let's buy other things sparingly, so we can't waste money."

Mo Ye was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smiled when he saw Tang Ruo's serious face: "Don't worry, Brother Mo has plenty of money, spend it generously, don't save it for me."

"But," before Tang Ruo could finish speaking, the door was knocked again.Mo Ye frowned, a little annoyed, why did people keep knocking on his door recently.

She bit the bullet and opened the door, but saw two or three yamen servants standing at the door.One of them looked at the person in front of him, then took out his token, and said coldly: "You are Mo Ye? We are the yamen servants here. Someone accused you of robbing the women. Come with us to the yamen now." The yamen servant looked around the courtyard and saw Tang Ruo who was hiding aside, and continued:

"She is the young lady of the Tang family, so she will go with us."

Mo Ye pursed her lips and understood a little. "Gentlemen, please wait a moment. I'll go to the house and change my clothes, and I'll go with you."

Seeing that Mo Ye was very cooperative, the servants did not make it difficult.Tang Ruo grabbed Mo Ye's hand with some fear, her eyes were red.

"It's okay, just go to the yamen, with me here, no one will dare to touch you, trust me." Mo Ye patted Tang Ruo's back lightly, comforting her gently.

"Well, I believe you." Tang Ruo responded in a low voice.Mo Ye went back to the house and took a piece of clothing and put it on the little girl, then took out the token from the bag and put it on his body.

Not long after, a group of people arrived at the yamen, and saw that the door was crowded with people. After finally entering the lobby, they saw that hateful face again.

"Long time no see, Miss Tang." Landlord Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Ruo in an extremely lewd manner.Tang Ruo's hand was held by Mo Ye, so she was no longer afraid. She bravely walked past him and followed Mo Ye to salute.

"Who is in the hall?" The gavel sounded, and the majestic voice of the county magistrate came.

"Grassman Mo Ye (civilian daughter Tang Ruo) sees your lord." The two of them replied without fear.

"Landlord Liu sued you for robbing Miss Tang and beating her, is there such a thing?"

"Returning to my lord, there is nothing wrong with it. It was Landlord Liu who took the money by force, tricked Ruo'er into signing a contract of sale, and brought a gang of thugs to the door to rob people. The grassroots were not angry. Out of self-preservation, he had to take action and hurt her." People. Please be enlightened by adults." Mo Ye was neither humble nor overbearing, kneeling straight on the ground, and said eloquently.

"Okay, Landlord Liu, do you have any objection to what Mo Ye said?" the county magistrate continued to ask.

"Returning to my lord, he spouted blood. At the beginning, because of the death of Auntie Mo's family, Miss Tang had no money to bury her, so she asked the villain for help and signed the contract of sale. You see, this is written in black and white, and there are witnesses, so it cannot be faked Yes." Landlord Liu took out the deed of sale and handed it to the master beside him, who presented it in turn, and the county magistrate carefully looked at the deed of sale, thoughtful.

"Miss Tang, I am asking you, you have to answer truthfully. Is the name on the deed of sale yours?"

Tang Ruo was a little scared, Mo Ye looked at her, nodded, and signaled her to speak out boldly.Tang Ruo took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and boldly replied:

"My lord, it belongs to a Minnv. However, Landlord Liu clearly told the Minnv an IOU at the time. The Minnv's family was poor and illiterate, and she was tricked by this man. Later, she learned that she had signed a contract of selling herself, and begged the Lord to pay for her. The women of the people are the masters."

"My lord, she is lying, don't believe her!" Landlord Liu straightened up and said loudly.

"Silence, no noise is allowed in the hall." The gavel fell again, Landlord Liu bent down angrily, and stopped talking.

"Landlord Liu, you are suing Mo Ye for robbing a civilian girl, but the young lady of the Tang family said that you tricked her into selling herself to you. I ask you, do you know about Miss Tang's illiteracy? Let me tell you the truth. Lie, the board will serve you."

"My lord, my lord, my lord, I really don't know." Landlord Liu faltered, but looked straight at the county magistrate.

"Really? I will ask you again, do you know?" the county magistrate shouted loudly.

"My lord, how many times you ask me, the villain doesn't know." Landlord Liu straightened up and looked at the people in the hall arrogantly, without a trace of fear.

"Okay, since that's the case, I want you to take a closer look at the deed of sale." After finishing speaking, the county magistrate angrily threw down the deed of sale. Landlord Liu picked it up and asked:

"Dare to ask my lord, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, what's wrong? Do you see that Miss Huang's name is written accurately?" The magistrate asked with a contemptuous snort from his nose.

Landlord Liu picked up the deed of sale and looked carefully, only to find that Huang Ruo's "Ruo" was written incorrectly. "My lord, this must have been intentional by Miss Huang, please learn from me."

"Oh? I don't think so. You see that Miss Huang's handwriting is not only crooked, but also wrong. It's obvious that she doesn't know how to read. How can you not see it?"

"My lord, I'm afraid you deliberately picked on me today." Landlord Liu stood up slowly, squinting at the county magistrate. "Did you forget that my uncle is the magistrate?"

"Bold and unreasonable, speak wild words, come here, and give me a stick to punish the ten boards." The county magistrate flushed with anger, stood up, and gave an order.

"Which of you dares to touch me? I'll let my uncle come and kill you." Landlord Liu glared at the yamen servants aggressively.

At this time, Landlord Liu suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the door, and shouted happily: "Uncle, you are here, you have to give me justice!" After speaking, he saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears , walked in mightily with a group of entourage.

"Hmph, I want to see, who dares to bully my nephew? Magistrate Wu, it can't be you." The county magistrate immediately stood up, his eyes full of anger, and said angrily: "Master Zhifu is too serious, how can this lower official He dared to bully Landlord Liu because he tricked this little lady into signing a contract of sale."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Nephew, is there such a thing?" Liu Zhifu sneered and asked lightly.

"There is absolutely no such thing. It was she who sold herself to me on her own initiative, but now she follows this man indiscriminately and stays at his house. It's really immoral." Landlord Liu raised his head and replied.

"You, you are talking nonsense." Tang Ruo blushed angrily, and couldn't help but stepped forward and cursed.

"In that case, let's take someone back." Liu Zhifu's eyes fell on Tang Ruo, showing a dirty expression.

The General's Doll

More and more people watched the excitement at the gate of the yamen, Mo Ye protected Tang Ruo behind him, and shouted loudly: "Who dares?"

"Hmph, you are interesting, come here, beat me to death." Liu Zhifu ordered the people behind him, and the two of them were immediately surrounded.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still scum like the prefect. Hmph, what a pity for the sage!" Mo Ye looked at him straight without fear, then took out the token from his arms, and said with a smile: "I don't know the prefect!" Do you know what this is?"

Liu Zhifu was full of anger at being scolded by her, and was about to make trouble when he raised his eyes and saw the token, but as if he had seen a ghost, he knelt down on the ground in horror, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I don't know You are the Great General Mo, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

Immediately, the spectators at the gate of the yamen began to discuss in low voices.County Magistrate Wu stepped forward and wanted to salute, but Mo Ye quickly supported him and said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Now I am no longer a general, nor do I have an official title, and I am no different from a commoner."

"The general is too humble. You fought bloody battles with the Holy One back then to defend one side of the country, which is why we have peace today. This official has admired you for a long time, and seeing you now is really lucky for three lives! It is just that the official has eyes but does not know the general. If you offend me, the general will punish you." County Magistrate Wu spoke earnestly and was extremely excited.

"This is an old thing, and it has long gone with the wind. Now, I only hope that the adults can uphold justice for the grassroots, and still be fair." Mo Ye said lightly.

"That's natural. The officials will handle it impartially and will not tolerate it." County magistrate Wu looked at the magistrate who was still kneeling on the ground, and turned back to his seat.

The gavel sounded again, "I have pronounced the verdict that the contract of sale in Landlord Liu's hands is void. Mo, Mo Ye will return all the money to Landlord Liu. Do you have any objections?"

"No objection, no objection!" Prefect Liu replied anxiously.

"If that's the case, this case is over and we're out!"

"Wei~wu~"

"Ruo'er, let's go home." Mo Ye took Tang Ruo's hand, tilted his head, and said to her with a smile.

"Okay, let's go home." Tang Ruo held the man's hand tightly, feeling the sense of security she brought, and finally found support in her wandering heart.

When I got home, it was already dark.Tang Ruo went to the kitchen to cook and boil water. Mo Ye finished chopping firewood and was going to clean up the room where she slept tonight.

"Ruo'er, I suddenly found a very serious question." Mo Ye ran from the house to the kitchen with a gray face.Tang Ruo couldn't help but sneered, raised his hand, and wiped it carefully with his sleeve.

"how?"

"I just finished packing and was about to make the bed, but found that there was no quilt." Mo Ye pouted, with a bitter face, as if begging for comfort.

"Oh, I was negligent. All the valuables at home were sold." Tang Ruo was a little embarrassed, and said after thinking for a moment, "If Brother Mo doesn't mind, you can sleep with me tonight."

"Um, will it squeeze you? I think I'd better find some straw and deal with tonight first."
