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

"I can't go. My family members were beaten so badly last night that they can't even stand up. They're lying on the kang!" Ji Xiaobei walked out quickly.

She couldn't let Shitou go. Yu Yao was not feeling well, and when she heard that Shitou was arrested, things would probably get even worse.

"It's her. She's the eldest daughter of the Ji family. She's cruel and ruthless. She was the one who beat my third brother last night."

Boss Niu pointed at Ji Xiaobei and shouted.

When he met Ji Xiaobei's gaze, he involuntarily hid behind Captain Wang.

"Come on, follow me, we'll go to the government office and talk!"

Captain Wang said angrily.

"I was the only one who was not injured last night. The others were all seriously injured. Are they all going to be carried to the government office?"

Ji Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and asked.

Captain Wang shouted, "You two follow me now!"

"Zhengguo Shop belongs to me, Ji Xiaobei, and it's registered in the government office under my name. If something happens to the shop, I can go alone. I'll go with you!"

Ji Xiaobei said this, pushed away the policeman's knife, and walked out.

"Sister, sister, I'm going..."

Shitou jumped and shouted.

"Go back and take care of the family!" Ji Xiaobei turned around and scolded.

Shitou watched Ji Xiaobei being taken away by the police.

Aunt Song and the others were all in the room, running around in a panic.

When Ji Xiaobei went out, he said that they were not allowed to go out, and if anyone went out, she would be fired.

Shitou was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.

Last night, Heita was worried about Fu Jichang and rushed back overnight.

After staying in Anzhou for such a long time, Shitou realized that apart from a few businessmen, he basically didn't know anyone in the government office.

He held his head in frustration and squatted on the ground.

……

On the way to the government office, Ji Xiaobei looked around. In the few months since he was away, many new shops had appeared on Anzhou Street.

Passing by Taoran Ju, she stopped and looked at it for a few seconds.

I really want to eat Taoranju’s roast duck.

Shopkeeper Qin of Taoranju was drinking tea upstairs and admiring the scenery outside.

I saw a familiar figure.

Isn’t this the Miss Ji Xiaobei that the master likes?

Looking behind her, there were actually several people from the police station following her. They all had fierce looks in their eyes and pointed their knives at Ji Xiaobei from time to time.

What did she do wrong? Why was she caught by the police?

He hurried downstairs.

"Captain Wang, gentlemen, I'm here to perform official duties. It's been a while since you've come to our Taoranju for dinner. We've added a few new dishes recently. Please come and try them when you have time!"

Shopkeeper Qin stopped the leading patrolman.

Captain Wang's expression became slightly better and he said, "Okay, let's do it another day. I have something to do today."

While speaking, his eyes never left Ji Xiaobei.

This man was caught, but why was he still walking around like he was taking a walk? He was really afraid that this woman would run away.

"Okay, Captain Wang, what did the girl in front do wrong? Why are they arresting a woman?" Shopkeeper Qin asked in pretended surprise.

"They fought and beat the third son of the Niu family in Nancheng to death!"

Captain Wang said a few words and left in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Qin was shocked and beat the man to death.

My God, a woman can beat a grown man to death.

I was thinking about how to report this to my master.

After his master went to the capital, he seldom came to Anzhou. He had not seen his master once this year.

……

Ji Xiaobei followed him to the government office.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Niu family, old man Niu and his two sons knelt below obediently.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at the person above her. She didn’t know this prefect.

"I am Lin Tuiguan of Anzhou Prefecture. Who am I? Why are you not kneeling?"

Magistrate Lin looked solemn and dignified.

"I am Ji Xiaobei, the owner of Zhengguo Shop." Ji Xiaobei stood up straight.

"Why don't you kneel down!" The yamen runners guarding the door poked with their sticks, making loud bangs.

Ji Xiaobei: I won’t kneel to your Highness the Crown Prince, so why should I kneel to a lousy judge like you?

Ji Xiaobei bowed slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to kneel, it's that I really can't kneel! I had a dream last night that there would be a bloody disaster today, and I'm afraid that it will implicate Judge Lin!"

Ji Xiaobei did not mean to be disrespectful to the imperial official, it was just that Lin Tui Guan had very bad character.

Accepting bribes and bullying the weak. Yesterday she heard from Shitou and Shugen that all civil cases in South City were tried by Judge Lin.

The people of South City have suffered enough.

Although the former magistrate Liang liked to smooth things over, he was not so blatant when bullying others.

Judge Lin slammed the gavel loudly and said angrily: "Nonsense..."

Two yamen runners rushed over angrily and pulled Ji Xiaobei's arm.

"Ouch, ouch..." A yamen runner took a few steps back, covering his arm and screaming a few times.

The other yamen runner didn't dare to move forward and looked at Ji Xiaobei in astonishment.

They had already heard that last night, the woman beat the third son of the Niu family to death in a flash.

They often drink wine with Niu Lao San.

Niu Laosan is a strong man.

How could he die?

"You..." Lin Tuiguan's face turned red with anger.

He had just been promoted from the county to be the prosecutor of Anzhou government office, and he really wanted to show off in front of Prefect Miao.

He didn't want any trouble and just wanted to finish the case properly.

He slammed the gavel: "Speak now, my victim, what is your cause?"

Old Man Niu repeated it while crying.

"He came to our house to start a fight. The men of the Niu family were holding torches and watching. You two, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, bullied my family. My sister-in-law is pregnant and they beat her so badly that she can't get up yet. Even if you didn't come to report to the police, I would have come.

And the stinky water on the textile street was flowing like that more than a decade ago. How could my sewage pollute your yard? That's pure bullshit!"

Ji Xiaobei was not polite to them at all.

The Niu family often comes to the shop to cause trouble, and this time she wants to give them a thorough lesson.

Judge Lin was shocked. This woman was quite pretty, so why did she speak so vulgarly?

Ji Xiaobei's shout of "bullshit" startled Prefect Miao who came to the front hall to get something. Who was this, speaking so brazenly in the hall?

Prefect Miao stopped and looked towards the hall through the screen.

He rubbed his eyes. Why did this woman look so familiar?

I moved the screen aside a little and finally saw the face clearly.

This, isn’t this Ji Xiaobei who is planting potatoes on the West Hill?

The seed blocks sown this spring were all cultivated last year.

I heard that she didn't even kneel when she saw the prince.

She seems to be quite familiar with Master Fu.

When he went to court yesterday, he heard people gossiping about Lord Fu, and it seemed to be related to her.

Thinking of this, Governor Miao’s face turned pale.

He would never dare to offend the two people Miss Ji knew, even if he was beaten to death.

"Lin, Magistrate Lin, come here!"

Magistrate Lin, who was concentrating on trying a case, became puzzled when he heard Prefect Miao calling him.

He turned and went to the back.

Prefect Miao whispered a few words in his ear.

"Ah..." He shuddered.

No wonder this woman is so confident, it turns out this is her background.

Magistrate Miao only said that she was a girl from the Ji family who grew potatoes in Xishan.

There is no further explanation for the rest.

Lin Tuiguan had been working in the officialdom for many years, so he understood everything the prefect said.

Sit back on the high chair.

"Since Niu Laosan is dead, let the coroner perform an autopsy..." As soon as Lin Tuiguan finished speaking, the Niu family was stunned.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, this little bitch beat my little son to death! Shouldn't she be thrown into jail?"

Old Man Lin was the first to shout.

Lin Tuiguan sneered coldly and said, "Your youngest son is not dead at all. You reported a false case to deceive me. What crime should you be punished for?"
