I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

His sister disappeared just now and he was extremely anxious. He was willing to go to jail if he could find his sister.

Now that his sister is by his side, he doesn’t want to go to jail!

With a pale face, he pulled Ji Xiaobei's sleeve: "Sister, I, I'm afraid..."

Ji Xiaobei glared at him. "Why weren't you afraid when you beat the yamen runner just now?"

Shi Tou: ...I just lost my mind, but now I am back to my senses!

Reason tells me that I cannot die!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..." Ji Xiaobei held his hand.

Shitou quickly pulled his hand back. He thought he was already grown up, so how could his sister hold his hand and comfort him?

Humph! Things like jail time should be handled by men.

He puffed out his chest and said, "I'll go with you. Let my sister go home!"

The bailiff sneered, "You?"

Some bailiffs came over with ropes and tried to tie them up.

Ji Xiaobei stretched out his arms and said, "I won't run away, so there's no need to tie me up. If I wanted to run away, you wouldn't be able to tie me up!"

Yamen runners: ...

A group of yamen runners escorted the brother and sister into the yamen.

The county magistrate was sitting high up. Ji Xiaobei looked up and was stunned for a moment.

Looks somewhat familiar!

Shi Tou also stood there in a daze, wondering where he had seen this person before!

The brother and sister looked at each other: Black hat!

How could it be him?

He went to Jijia Village that day and did not introduce himself.

It turned out to be the new county magistrate.

The county magistrate was also looking at them, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Who am I?" asked the county magistrate Zhang Dahai.

"Ji Xiaobei from Jijiawan!"

Shitou imitated his sister and called out calmly, "Jijiawan Ji Xiaoshi!"

"Why did you beat the bailiffs and cause a scene in the county government office?" asked Magistrate Zhang.

Ji Xiaobei recounted what had happened.

Magistrate Zhang then ordered the bailiff with the broken bones to be brought up for questioning.

When the bailiff saw Ji Xiaobei, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the stretcher.

"My Lord County Magistrate, please help me! First the man threw a tantrum in front of the county government office, demanding that the government office compensate his sister. Then his sister came and beat me up without saying a word... Ouch, ouch..."

"Why did you scold us, calling us untouchables and unruly people, and even wanted to beat us? Why didn't you say anything?"

Shitou shouted with his neck stiffened.

He is not afraid at all now, because the county magistrate has seen him training the Ji family army.

After all, there is a little bit of friendship between us.

County Magistrate Zhang doesn't look like a bad person.

Ji Xiaobei nodded and said, "My brother said the truth. It is natural for the people to pay taxes and perform labor service. It is natural for the people to report to the government when they have problems. I don't know why we have become pariahs and are being beaten. Who will dare to report to the government in the future?"

Ji Xiaobei said loudly.

Magistrate Zhang nodded and looked at the other bailiffs.

The bailiffs all lowered their heads and dared not look up.

"Who was guarding the door at that time?" asked County Magistrate Zhang.

Three bailiffs stepped out and knelt down.

"Are Ji Xiaobei and Ji Xiaoshi telling the truth?"

The bailiff gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"If you don't say anything, then that's the truth! The county government is a place where practical things are done for the people. It can be said that the people of Wei County are our parents who provide us with food and clothing. Is this how you treat them on a daily basis?"

The three yamen runners knelt with trembling legs and said in unison: "You deserve to die. You know you were wrong!"

"Okay, now that everything is clear, Ji Xiaobei and his sister did nothing wrong. It's you who are on duty who have problems. The three of you should get up first!"

Magistrate Zhang waved his hand.

The three yamen runners stood up with red faces.

"Then can we leave too?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Wait!" Magistrate Zhang said with a smile.

He came down from his high seat and walked in front of Ji Xiaobei and the others.

"Jijiawan, Jijiajun, I heard that your village's Jijiajun is doing well in training?"

He looked at the stone approvingly.

Shitou's face turned red all of a sudden, and he stammered, "Thank you, thank you, County Magistrate! I will work hard."

"This is the Ji Family Army, which is famous for fighting against mountain bandits. Both of you are trainers of the Ji Family Army, Ji Xiaobei and Ji Xiaoshi!"

"what……"

The bailiffs were so shocked that their eyes widened. No wonder he was so powerful.

None of the four men could hold the boy down.

And that female warrior is so strong.

With one slap, the bailiff flew so far away that only two teeth were left in his mouth.

……

Ji Xiaobei said generously: "Thank you, County Magistrate. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Shitou looked at his sister blankly: Can we leave so soon?

Ji Xiaobei: Hurry up and leave. Do you still want to eat in the county government office?

Ji Xiaobei pulled the confused Shitou out of the lobby.

After leaving the yamen, the people who had surrounded them had not left yet. When they saw Ji Xiaobei and the others come out, they were extremely surprised.

After interrupting the county government office, he came out in a swagger.

Who are these two people?

Someone shouted from behind: "Miss Xiaobei, please stay!"

Ji Xiaobei turned around and saw a man running towards him.

Ji Xiaobei knew him; he was the man who had followed County Magistrate Zhang to the village last time.

"Miss Xiaobei, how did you get here? If it's inconvenient for you to go back, I'll find a car to take you back."

Ji Xiaobei: …

Last time, we didn’t even know who sent the gold, and now this time it’s being sent back home again.

Is this really Jiaojiao’s relationship?

It must be true. Jiaojiao’s court doctors all graduated from the Imperial Medical Bureau, so her family must be high-ranking officials.

Hey! Jiaojiao is such a good person!

"No, thank you very much, sir. We came here in a donkey cart. It's getting late, so we have to go back quickly!"

"Girl, take care! If you have any problems in the future, just come to the county government office to find me. My name is Ming Dahai, and I'm the county clerk!"

Ming Dahai said politely.

Ji Xiaobei thanked Ming Zhubo and left with Ji Decai and Shitou.

"Sister, the county magistrate and the chief clerk are both good people. They must be the legendary officials, right?"

Shi Tou was so excited all the way.

Ji Xiaobei: The officials will not take us common people seriously;

It was because of Jiaojiao that the chief clerk personally sent you out and also took you home.

Shi Tou:...I don’t care, I think they are good officials!

"What do you think of the silk thread and fabric?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"I, I just asked one family, and when I came out, I didn't find you, so I looked for you everywhere!"

Stone said in a low voice.

Ji Xiaobei: "Let's go buy some silk thread first. The most important thing we did in the county today has been done. Let's buy some more things so that we don't have to explain to our mother when we go back."

Shitou was confused: "Ah, aren't we here to buy silk thread and fabric?"

Ji Xiaobei: Ah, yes, look at my brain!

The two returned to the fabric street to buy fabric and silk thread.

The price has gone up, a lot!

The shopkeeper said that it had rained and there were floods in the south, so the goods could not be transported.

I didn’t buy much, just enough for two or three months.

When the two of them walked back, it was already getting dark.

"Why don't we stay here for one night before leaving?" Ji Xiaobei suggested.
