The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

The bailiffs moved very quickly, and before a cup of tea had passed, Lan Wangshu and Cang Wenyuan were invited in.

When County Magistrate He saw Lan Wangshu, his beard trembled. He wondered if he had seen her too often in the past few days.

Lan Wangshu looked at the people around him and was about to kneel down when he was stopped by County Magistrate He.

"No need to be polite."

"Thank you, sir."

The girl bowed obediently and stood directly behind Cang Wenyuan, staring at the tip of her shoes. She didn't care at all about anyone's looks at her, as if she was just a decoration that could be ignored.

"You said that bandits appeared in Cangnan Village."

"Yes, sir, they admitted it themselves, and some of them are very skilled in using poison."

Cang Wenyuan cupped his hands, his expression serious, his eyes revealing a hint of relief.

"Oh? How many of them are there? How skilled are they? Has the village suffered any losses?"

"There are more than twenty people in total, and their skills are..."

Lan Wangshu stretched out a finger and poked Cang Wenyuan's waist, almost making the young man laugh.

The corner of Cang Wenyuan's mouth twitched for a moment, and his expression became somewhat weird, which frightened County Magistrate He so much that he sat up straight and prepared to listen attentively.

The young man was so angry at Lan Wangshu that he almost lost his temper. He couldn't say that the girl had touched his sore spot. He finally managed to calm down his expression and figured out what Lan Wangshu meant.

He raised his head, as if he was recalling something seriously. Magistrate He also became nervous, and even the clerk next to him focused his attention on Cang Wenyuan.

After a few breaths, Cang Wenyuan finally spoke.

"He's decent at fighting, and good at concealed weapons. It's a little tricky when combined with poison, but the rest is fine."

The clerk rolled his eyes, picked up the pen and continued writing something on the paper. County Magistrate He also had a strange look on his face.

"Then how did you know this man was a bandit?"

Cang Wenyuan was happy at this time, and quickly pulled Lan Wangshu out from behind him and explained the whole story in vivid detail.

County Magistrate He couldn't believe that Lan Wangshu could do such a thing. He knew that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Little girl, is this the case?"

"My Lord, yes and not entirely. The reason is that this group of people bullied children and molested women. I couldn't stand it and thought they were very despicable. Since they lived in my thatched cottage, I didn't want to take them in. That was all. This was just an excuse to make them leave. I'm a girl who has a younger brother, so I really don't dare to live with such people."

"Such a thing can happen."

County Magistrate He believed Lan Wangshu's words without asking any questions. This really surprised Cang Wenyuan. Lord He is not a person who only listens to one side. Could it be that her words have some magic power?

When Cang Wenyuan was distracted, County Magistrate He spoke again.

"Mr. Cang, are you aware of this?"

"Sir, when I arrived, the two sides had already started arguing. I don't know the specific situation, but from the conversation between Shu Yatou and Liu Niang, it should be so. The bandits are deliberately looking for trouble."

"Do you know the leader's name and which hill he's from?"

Lan Wangshu spoke before Cang Wenyuan. The young man pinched his palms. What could he do? The child had grown up and had his own ideas. There was no way he could control him at all.

"Your Excellency, I know that the one who is good at making poison is a woman named Liu Niang. I don't know where their leader is from, but everyone calls him Third Brother. He is a burly man, doesn't talk much, and is good at using hidden weapons. There are poisons of various colors on them. The scene has been protected, Your Excellency can check the evidence."

Magistrate He saw that she was so well-behaved and well-reasoned. The most important thing was that the term "protecting the scene" was new and saved them a lot of trouble in handling the case.

He stroked his beard and looked at the county magistrate, who nodded and said the case could be taken.

"Do you know which mountain they are from? I wonder if there are any people behind them. Will the villagers and refugees be in other dangers?"

The constable stood aside and listened to the whole process. He also had a very good impression of Lan Wangshu.

"They are the bandits from the third hilltop of Xiangfeng Mountain, so the gangs call them Third Brother. They haven't done anything strange over the years, but I didn't expect them to come down the mountain at this time."

"Sir, they act very smoothly. They must be habitual criminals. I don't know how much money they have taken and how many lives they have killed."

There was a gleam in Magistrate He's eyes, and he calmly changed the subject.

"How did you kill him?"

Lan Wangshu seemed a little scared and didn't want to recall the story. She shrank back behind Cang Wenyuan. Her mission had been completed and she had mentioned everything that needed to be mentioned. The fact that Lord He didn't continue the conversation showed that he understood the meaning of her words.

"They were refugees who came south. They were big and strong and had some martial arts skills. However, one of them failed to dodge in time and was stabbed by the poison needle and died on the spot."

County Magistrate He slammed the table and stood up. He looked extremely angry, and his beard trembled twice.

"It's really against the will of heaven. In the face of such a disaster, they actually want to kill people."
