"It's okay. Zhengyang will be at the academy today to have lunch with Jingyang. I have asked Uncle Niu in the village to deliver the message."
Lan Wangshu was still thinking that he, a Jinshi, had the confidence to challenge. After all, it was too impulsive for him to have only an official position but no backing. It turned out that he had communicated with Mo Yici.
Hu Sanniang's hands, which were clutching the handkerchief, were shaking all the time. The indenture had been broken into pieces and she couldn't pick it up anymore. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.
"Report to the police. We must report to the police today. Anyone who comes must report to the police."
The woman held your hand tightly, and with a trembling finger she pointed at their noses. She flicked her sleeves and led the people and the sedan chair to the county government office. Lan Wangshu was not afraid, and some villagers also followed him and went to the county town in the village chief's ox cart.

County school.
You Xin was wearing red today and dressed very flashily, wandering in front of Lan Luochen like a colorful peacock.
The boy was too lazy to pay attention to him and was busy with his own things.
"Lan Luochen, from today on you have to call me brother-in-law."
You Xin spoke loudly, and everyone in the school was looking at the two people in the center.
"It's not dark yet."
Lan Luochen had a stern smile on his face, his hands clenched into fists under the table. What kind of bastard was this? He wanted to covet his sister.
"You may not know this yet, but your grandmother has already decided to sell your sister, who is as cold as the moon, to me as a concubine. Oh, and my concubine's brother is not worthy of calling me brother-in-law, but I will make an exception for you and acknowledge you as my brother."
There was a flash of anger in Lan Luochen's eyes. The old lady of the Lan family was really tired of living. If she wanted to touch his sister, forget it. He looked at You Xin with an increasingly dangerous look, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
You Xin was a little confused. Lan Luochen has always loved his sister the most. He couldn't even make a joke last time, so why is he laughing now? There couldn't be any conspiracy.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Xingnan was a little devil. When he passed by and heard You Xin's words, his chest exploded. He wanted Lan Wangshu to be his concubine. Who the hell was You Xin? He pulled the man's collar up hard.
You Xin was quite heavy, and his clothes had been lifted up before he could get up. The clothes were stuck on his neck, and he felt suffocated. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and his face turned red. The veins on his forehead could be seen, and his fat hands kept slapping the thighs of the person behind him.
Zhou Xingnan threw him to the ground with disgust. You Xin crawled aside with some lingering fear and took deep breaths, seeming to be a little afraid of him.
"I'm not wrong. Lan Luochen's sister has been sold to me as a concubine by his grandmother. My family has already asked a matchmaker to pick her up."
He stiffened his neck and said that he had given twenty taels of silver, and Hu Sanniang said that the matter was a done deal.
"You too?"
Zhou Xingnan was furious and couldn't accept this fact.
His fist was already raised, and Lan Luochen was holding his wrist.
"Brother Jingyang, we have already separated. Grandma has no right to sell my sister. Our top priority is to go home and see her."
Zhou Xingnan gave You Xin a nasty look and punched the wall behind him, causing You Xin to flinch in fear.
"You'd better pray that my boss is okay, otherwise, you just wait for me."
You Xin was just taking revenge because Lan Wangshu and Lan Luochen had embarrassed him last time, and he had no intention of provoking Zhou Xingnan.
The expression in the small eyes on his chubby face was unclear. He quickly got up from the ground and ran quickly towards home. He had to find his mother to save him. If he really offended Zhou Xingnan, his father would definitely beat him to death.

When Hu Sanniang and her group arrived at the county government office, they started beating drums and gave the lawyer one or two taels of silver. The lawyer's eyes lit up and he wrote a long article, describing Cangnan Village as a cannibalistic village.
After reading the complaint, the county magistrate felt that this matter was extremely bad and must be severely punished. If everyone just tore up the indenture contract like them, then what kind of law would there be?
As per usual practice, County Magistrate He went straight to the court. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the complaint. He had a deep impression of Lan Wangshu, a man who knew his limits and what he was doing. How could such a thing happen to him?
Since the court had already been opened and the people were gathered outside, he could not say that he would not continue the trial. Otherwise, it would be too frivolous and the court would lose its dignity.
"Spread the message to the victim."
Hu Sanniang took small steps and knelt down in the hall, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Sir, please help me. Lan Xu from Cangnan Village sold her own granddaughter to my master as a concubine. When I went to pick her up today, they broke the contract and teamed up with the villagers to bully me. They tore up the indenture on the spot."
"Oh? There is such a thing. The accused is here."
"grown ups."
Lan Wangshu and the village chief Cang Wenyuan walked into the hall together. As they were father and son and held official positions, they did not need to kneel, so Lan Wangshu knelt down obediently.
Even though modern people are not used to it, it is unavoidable. She firmly believes that County Magistrate He will handle the matter impartially, and she cannot leave him any excuses.
