Practice Remembering You

In addition to the officials' efforts, Mo Xue also worked harder when she thought of her family's upcoming arrival, wanting them to see the excellent Xiaoshi County that she and her husband had built.

Their daughter Zhang Ran felt her parents' enthusiasm and started to work hard too. With her magical support, the construction speed in Xiaoshi County was much faster.

Time passed day by day, and after nine days, all the people from the Zhang and Mo families had arrived.

The first person the parents met was Mo Xue.

When family members meet, they naturally have a lot to talk about. Mo Xue arranged his family to a place that had been prepared long ago, and then the housekeeper went to take care of the details.

In the main courtyard, the parents were impressed by the development here, which was very unexpected. Although it was not as big as the disappeared Zhuiming City, the things inside were far more advanced than those in the main city.

After expressing his feelings, he asked Mo Xue about her health.

Zhang Yu had already told me about this matter in advance, so I answered all the questions fluently.

After chatting with his family for a while, Mo Xue had to go back to work because he had some work to do.

When the family members learned that Mo Xue could command the entire Xiaoshi County, they were a little surprised. No one expected that Zhang Yu would be so confident in handing over such a great power to his wife. He was too good to Mo Xue.

This made those members of the tribe who wanted to marry their daughters or sisters to Zhang Yu more active.

However, what they didn't know was that the reason why Zhang Yu gave such great power to his wife was because his wife Mo Xue did have management capabilities that surpassed his. It was not because of the relationship between husband and wife that he let Mo Xue manage.

These tribesmen were relatively well behaved at first, but after two days, when they had settled down, some of the younger members started to become dishonest.

People in their circle speculated that the family’s status was so high now, and that Zhuiming City no longer existed, which meant that Zhang Yu was now the biggest.

The reason why Zhang Yu asked the clansmen to be obedient in the beginning was because there were still the city lord, the chief constable and the barracks master above them. But now these three people are gone. It seems that Zhang Yu, as the immortal of the clan, should not be as strict as before.

As a result, some young people, without the knowledge of their elders, began to act arrogantly in Xiaoshi County.

At the beginning, Mo Xue and the officials in charge were not aware of it. After all, everyone was busy dealing with the upcoming crowds. They were too busy to handle their important tasks, so how could they pay too much attention to these trivial matters?

In addition, the people who were bullied happened to be honest cowards. After they found out that the other party was from the Zhang family and the Mo family, they swallowed their anger and kept silent. Therefore, it was difficult for the higher-ups to know about it.

Because of these cowards' concessions, the Zhang family's playboys believed that their guess was correct, and thus became even more arrogant.

Until one time, when they were oppressing the people, the third uncle's son, Zhang Jun, who had long since corrected his ways, saw the young men of the clan doing such a thing. He became furious and stepped forward to scold them.

These tribesmen were somewhat wary of Zhang Jun when they saw him. After all, Zhang Jun's father, Zhang Wu, was the savior of the immortal Zhang Yu. Plus, Zhang Yu now had some good feelings towards Zhang Jun, so his words were still effective.

However, these playboys only acknowledged it for the sake of appearance, but not the real purpose, so as soon as Zhang Jun left, they continued with what they were doing.

If this kind of oppression of the people is not discovered once or twice, it is considered lucky, but if it is done for a long time, how can it not be discovered?

Finally, one day, after eating a free meal, this group of young men went out and saw three pretty girls from decent families strolling on the street. They immediately became lustful and went up to tease them.

When the woman refused, they actually beat her.

Some brave men could not bear to watch and stepped forward to stop them, but they fought back and beat them. A policeman who was passing by saw them and went up to capture them.

When he was arrested, these young people from the Zhang and Mo families actually shouted loudly, saying that they would beat the policeman who arrested him to death and take revenge on the policeman's family in the future!

The patrolmen were furious when they heard this and shouted harshly. At the same time, they were somewhat worried. After all, the other party was indeed a relative of the county magistrate and his wife. They wondered if he really had the ability to do this.

But this happened in public after all, and if they didn't detain him, they would be in even bigger trouble.

Soon, these people were escorted to the county government office. The people followed outside to see how this matter would be handled.

Mo Xue, who was handling county affairs, was stunned when she heard that someone was coming outside. Under the governance of her husband and herself, Xiaoshi County had not seen any crime for a long time. How could someone commit a crime at this critical juncture?

As a result, when these people came in, Mo Xue was stunned. Why were they all members of the clan?

The police officer who brought the suspect into custody briefly explained what had happened. The owner of the restaurant where the dine-in was rushed and the three women who were molested were all there.

Mo Xue's face immediately turned gloomy after hearing this.

However, even so, these playboys did not realize the seriousness of the problem. They saw that it was Mo Xue, not Zhang Yu, who was in the court, and did not care much.

This really shows that he doesn't understand the situation and has no idea about Mo Xue's status in Xiaoshi County.

Mo Xue interrogated them in the court and found that everything was true. Moreover, they also threatened the police, which was an even more serious crime. He ordered in court that according to the laws of Xiaoshi County, each of them should be beaten with fifty sticks and imprisoned for two years.

When they heard this punishment, all these people were shocked and then they disobeyed.

The dandy young men of the Mo family did not dare to say anything and hid behind the young men of the Zhang family, hoping to avoid the disaster.

But the Zhang family's dandy young men were different. Their reaction was extremely violent. They shouted that they were members of the Zhang family, and even if there was to be a trial, it had to be Zhang Yu, the immortal of the Zhang family.

At this time, they were still fantasizing that Zhang Yu would give them a lighter punishment because they were all members of the Zhang family.

"Bang!" Mo Xue slammed the gavel. How could it be possible for them to do as they wished? "Openly defying the law, the crime is doubled! What's the right and wrong?"

The executioners on both sides rushed out, pinned the five dandies to the ground, and prepared to beat them.

"Wait a minute!"

Several old voices were heard from outside.

Hearing the sound, everyone made way for the others, only to see three old men arriving, two elders from the Zhang family and one elder from the Mo family.

As soon as the elders arrived, they smiled at Mo Xue: "Aiya Xue'er, you see, after you married into our Zhang family, you are now a member of the same clan, and we are all family. There is no need to punish you so harshly.

Of course, these brats did something wrong. We will punish them severely when we get back. That’s it for today, how about that?”

The official who was preparing to execute the sentence looked at Mo Xue with a stick in his hand, not knowing whether to beat him or not.

However, Mo Xue's expression remained unchanged: "If someone makes a mistake, he must be punished. This is determined by the county magistrate Zhang Yu. How can we make an exception just because of the clan relationship? If it is according to what you said, if someone commits a crime in the future, will the government have to send the person back just because of the family law?!"

After that, he shouted sternly: "Beat him!"

The officials started beating the dandies of the Zhang and Mo families. The dull sound of sticks could be heard. The screams of the dandies continued. They had been living a life of luxury since childhood and had never been beaten so severely.

The officials who carried out the execution also hated the dandy young men who oppressed the people, so they struck particularly hard and tried to stay away from fatal parts of the body to prevent the person from being beaten to death before the hundred blows were completed.

When the people outside saw this, they all burst into cheers and were very pleased with Mo Xue's fair judgment.

Originally, the people were a little worried that with the arrival of the Zhang and Mo families, the people would be oppressed in the future. But now it seems that they were worrying too much. The county magistrate and his wife are still the same as before, without any change.

The faces of the three elders in the field were blue and purple, and their complexions were as black as the bottom of a pot.

One of the elders with relatively high status felt that this was too harsh, as if everything was mocking him. He immediately broke down and shouted at Mo Xue: "Mo Xue, you are a person who married into our Zhang family. You have received great favors from our Zhang family. You can have such power as a woman. Now you don't care about this at all. It would be fine if you didn't protect the family members, but you also punished them so severely. Do you still have any family members and Zhang Yu in your eyes!"
