Shocking news: The fifth-milk baby rides a ferocious beast and blows up the palace of Zha Daddy.

When the old woman saw the soldiers coming, she cried even louder, as if she had been wronged...

"Ah, wuwuwu... I can't live anymore. I can't live anymore. Fellow villagers, I know you are good people, but the python is the pet of the children of the King of Youzhou. Even if it ate my grandson, it's what he deserves. Our whole family deserves to be destroyed. After all, the King of Youzhou is behind it. My grandson deserves to be eaten by the python."

"Don't speak up for me, it's useless and will only get you into trouble."

"To those who have spoken up for me today, I thank you and I kowtow to you."

"Perhaps starting today, you may not see me anymore. After all, the people I offended are very powerful. It would be normal for me to disappear."

"But before I die, I want to thank all the kind people."

The old woman cried, prostrated on the ground, and kowtowed to the people around her to express her gratitude.

It was not until this time that Huo Dong finally understood that the old woman just wanted to throw dirty water on them, stir up public anger, and let the people deal with them.

This move is so sinister.

So, he said angrily: "Mother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? When did we want to kill you?"

The old lady wiped her tears and cried...

"As the saying goes, the government has always protected each other, not to mention that the python is your pet, you must have helped it. It is normal for me to be secretly killed and buried by you. Before I die, can't I say goodbye to the elders and villagers who helped me?"

Long Yi came over and asked with a frown...

"Prince, what happened?"

Huo Dong shook his head. Up to now, he was still confused. He didn't know whether what the old woman said was true or false. But he believed the python's words. If it said it didn't do it, then it definitely didn't do it.

However, now that they have aroused such great public indignation, they must produce evidence to be more convincing. Otherwise, others will think that they are abusing their power to oppress others.

Daddy’s reputation will also be affected in the future.

Although Huo Dong was young, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Then, he told Long Yi the whole story.

Long Yi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the old lady. He saw that although she kept crying, her eyes were wandering. She looked at him from time to time, with an uneasy look on her face. He didn't know whether she was afraid that the government would really use its power to oppress her, or if she had something to hide.

"Auntie, you said a boa constrictor ate your grandson. Where is your home? What is your name? Can you take us to your home to have a look?"

The old lady seemed very scared and kept saying, "No, no, I won't go. You must want to kill me to silence me."

Long Yi stared at her with fierce eyes and asked sharply...

"Auntie, didn't you just say that your whole family is dead? Take us to your house to have a look, what's the matter? Are you lying? Are you afraid that the truth will be revealed?"

When he asked this, the people around also realized that something was wrong. The old lady kept saying that the python ate her grandson, causing her son and daughter-in-law to die of excessive grief, and she was the only one left in the family. Now, the government has intervened to investigate the case, but she refuses to cooperate. Why?

Could it be that he really lied?

Is the purpose to win their sympathy and slander the python?

Suddenly, everyone's eyes on the old lady changed. They became a little angry and felt that they were being used.

The old lady panicked and quickly waved her hands and said...

"No, no, no, that's not it. I'm not lying to you. The python did eat my grandson. It's absolutely true."

Long Yi: "In that case, lead the way, let's go investigate the scene."

He had handled so many cases and knew how to read people's expressions. As soon as he saw the old lady's face, he felt something was wrong. Therefore, this case must be investigated thoroughly and tried in public so that the people can see the ins and outs of the matter and the government's verdict. Otherwise, it would be bad for his master's reputation.

But the old lady refused to lead the way.

Even so, Long Yi has a way to deal with her.

Because all the common people in Youzhou City must have their household registration recorded with the government.

Even if you are an outsider doing business temporarily in the city, you must register with the government.

He called the official in charge of this area.

Soon, the old lady's information was found from the government.

Female, 59 years old, came to Youzhou City to settle down with her husband and three sons half a year ago. Her eight grandchildren are still enjoying free schooling in Youzhou City.

As for what she said about her grandson being eaten by a python, it is completely false.

Not to mention the major event of the death of his son and daughter-in-law.

All the common people who passed away in Youzhou City had to go to the government to go through the procedures for canceling their household registration. After completing this procedure, they would receive a reward.

On the contrary, if the government finds out that this procedure has not been completed, not only will the reward not be received, but even the village chief will be implicated and fined.

Ensure that the household registration is 100% authentic.

Long Yi read out aloud what he had found out from the household registration files, and then asked, "Auntie, the above is your information, am I right?"

The old lady's face turned pale, and she muttered to herself...

"It's over, it's all over."

Long Yi: "Tell me, why do you want to slander the python? Do you know that if you do this, your eight grandchildren will no longer be eligible to study in Youzhou City for free."

The old lady panicked when she heard this and burst into tears, saying:

"Master Guan, I was wrong. Please let my grandson continue to study in the academy. If my three sons knew about this, they would beat me to death. Wow..."

The old lady regretted very much at this time. She should not have come here to slander the python just to earn one hundred taels of silver. Now, not only did she not make any money, but she also gambled on the future of her eight grandchildren. If her three sons knew about this, they would definitely kick her out of the house.

Long Yi frowned and asked coldly: "Tell me, why do you do this? What is your purpose?"

The old lady cried and said, "A few days ago, I was bored and wandered on the street. I met a man who asked me if I wanted to make money. I said yes, and then he asked me to slander the python for eating my grandson and ruin the reputation of the King of Youzhou."

"I didn't dare to do it at that time, but he said that he would give me 1,000 taels of silver after the matter was completed. Then I wouldn't have to live in Youzhou and wouldn't have to look at the government's face. The old woman was bewitched at the time and agreed immediately. But I was worried that he would cheat me, so I asked him to pay 100 taels of silver first."

After she finished speaking, she took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Long Yi, saying -

"Look, sir, this is the banknote."

Long Yi asked, what does that person look like?

The old lady said she couldn’t see clearly because the other person was wearing a bamboo hat.

But judging from his voice and figure, he is a man.

After the onlookers learned the truth, they all cursed the old lady for being possessed by the devil. For the sake of money, she actually did such a thing and almost wrongly accused the python.

Huo Dong took the opportunity to stand on the back of the python and said loudly...

"I've said it before, even though the snake king has eaten people, they were all bad guys. It will never hurt innocent people because it is a good snake, a snake with a sense of justice."

"All the uncles, aunts and ladies present here, have you forgotten? When there was a plague in Youzhou City, the python saved your lives. It will never hurt you."

The people nodded and said...

"Yes, we saw with our own eyes that the snake king carried the queen and the princes and princesses to the cliff to dig herbs to save us. We actually suspected that it was harming people. This is wrong."

"Yeah, we're damned for doubting our savior."

The python was dismissive of these hindsights. After all, the little master was still the best and never doubted it from beginning to end.

These ordinary people, like fence-sitters, are swayed by the wind, which makes it feel disheartened.

But it doesn’t matter, its owners are the ancestors and a few little masters.

What other people think is of no importance to it.

In order to convince the common people, Long Yi took the old lady to her home, gathered her three sons together, and told them the whole story.

When the old lady's three sons heard this, they were very angry. Their family had finally settled down in Youzhou City and lived a stable life. Their children also went to free school. It seemed that good days were just ahead, but they were ruined by their old mother.

"Master, what my mother did is none of our business. You can't drive us out of Youzhou City."

"Yes, our children are still studying in the academy. King Youzhou has given us such a good life. How could we possibly betray him?"

"Sir, if you let my family go, we will immediately sever ties with my mother and never have any contact with her again."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will cut off all ties with her and never have any contact with her again."

The old lady's three sons all spoke to Long Yi one after another.

When the old lady heard this, she felt like the sky was falling. If her sons didn’t care about her, what would she do when she got old?

So, she cried loudly...

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you can't treat me like this. I am your biological mother. I raised you with all my hard work. You can't sever ties with me."

Unexpectedly, the three sons were determined to break off relations with her for the benefit of their own family, and said that everything was her own fault and they were not to blame.

Long Yi pondered for a moment. As it concerned the future of eight children, he did not dare to make a hasty decision. He said he would think about it and see how they reacted before making a decision.

In fact, he wanted to go back and report to Ye Yi to see what his decision was.

"Thank you, sir, for giving our family a chance." The three sons and their entire family knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Long Yi repeatedly to express their gratitude.

Long Yi: "Don't be too happy too soon. Maybe the final result will still be for you to leave Youzhou City. If there is such a verdict, don't blame us. It's your mother's fault."

After saying this, he led his troops away.

As for the old lady, she was convicted of slander and thrown into jail for a month as a warning to others.
