The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

It is still the "victim" who speaks first.

These people were very good at talking, and Lan Ning had no chance of winning over them.

"Sir, they, that's them. The food in their store is poisonous. Look, such a good brother of ours, such a tall and strong brother with a healthy body, was actually killed by a portion of poisonous food."

“That’s too much.”

The county magistrate responded with deep emotion.

"Not to mention the harm, they even refused to admit it and verbally insulted me in the store, leaving us unable to respond. That would have been fine, but they even called for help to beat us up."

"You are not worthy of being a human being."

Keep picking up the gag.

"We ordinary people are no match for them. They are so numerous and powerful that we can't answer them with just one word. Sir, you have to make the decision for us."

"I am a good official, an honest official, and I will definitely make the decision for you."

The two groups of people were discussing fiercely, Zhenkai.

It was as if Lan Ning and the others were unforgivable villains who had done all kinds of evil things and should be cut into pieces.

But there was one very strange thing: in such a large court, there were only the county magistrate and these few troublemakers making a fuss, while the other people and the common people were watching them perform quietly.

They watched it so seriously and it was so wonderful. I wanted to applaud them and give them a shout.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he immediately remembered that the situation was special and quickly put his hand down.

“Come here, arrest them! These villains are ruining the reputation of Yujing County.

Our county has always had a very good reputation. The air is very good, the environment is very good, and the people are very good. We must not let these few rat shits spoil our soup. Someone, come and take this..."

"and many more."

Finally, the defendant's explanation came.

"You just made the decision without giving us a chance to explain.

We gave you so many good things, why did you accept them? What does that mean? It means you are a corrupt official. Since you accept our gifts but don’t do anything, please return our things to us.”

Lan Ning deliberately revealed this matter for two reasons.

First, I am young, and if I say it out loud, it won’t make those people who are just watching think too much about it.

The second reason is that they all regard this as a topic that cannot be discussed. Today, they brought it up in front of so many people. There can only be one reason: they want to offend the county magistrate.

If someone steps forward, why not? They won't be the ones punished, and they will have done something good for them.

However, officials all have a mentality, that is, others cannot offend them, others cannot oppose what they say, and others cannot make suggestions. This will make them unhappy, dissatisfied, and they will show off their emotions.

For ordinary people, such consequences are quite serious. After all, they are fatal, so they keep their mouths shut tightly and are strictly controlled. They will not say a word or do anything extra.

There are consequences for confronting officials, and here it comes.

"How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to? How can you be so presumptuous in this court?

You are really a sharp-tongued person who tells lies all the time. What do you mean by "I accepted your bribes"?

I am an honest official and the people love me. I never take anything from you. I am fair and just to the people and do my best to make sure they live a good life.

I was slandered by a bunch of you extroverts who came from nowhere. It really chilled my heart!"

The county magistrate's words were so heartfelt that they moved himself, his legal advisor, his kneeling accomplices, and even the people who were watching the show outside.

Even though he knew that the official was not a good one, he was treacherous and vicious and did a lot of bad things.

Although it was not done by him, it was allowed and arranged by him.

But even though they knew this was the case, after hearing what he said, these people could not control their kind hearts and sympathize with the county magistrate who had a much better life than them.

The people behind him started to discuss and expressed their disagreement with what Lan Ning said.

You just make me feel cold.

Lan Ning complained in his heart.

These people don't know what's good for them, so he is doing this as a favor to them.

Lan Ning turned his head and saw a big roll of his eyes. The black pupils were completely invisible and you could see how hard he rolled his eyes.

I don’t know if it was because her rolling eyes were too intimidating, or what was going on, but these people all fell silent and didn’t dare to say a word.

Humph, at the critical moment, I have to use my own eye roll to attack.

Where Lan Ning couldn't see, Meng Anran withdrew his gaze indifferently.

The people behind him were trembling with fear. The look in his eyes just now was too terrifying. It was full of murderous intent, as if if they dared to say one more word, they would be torn into pieces and left with no complete corpse.

The whole scene finally fell silent. The county magistrate had not expected that these elderly, weak, women and children would actually take his trick.

This is the move he uses most often and also the one he uses best.

It means complaining, showing how difficult it is for you, and arousing the sympathy of the people, so that they forget the wrong things they have done, feel sympathy for you, and speak up for you.

Humph, I’ve taken this move, but he still has the next one.

"If an official is not upright, he is not worthy of being an official."

Who knew that before he could launch his next move, a clear and loud voice was heard.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a tall and sturdy girl surrounded by people.

Isn’t this the girl who spoke for them in the shop just now?

What a nice person, give her a thumbs up.

I thought the county magistrate would get very angry because of this sentence, but not only did he not get angry, but there was fear in his eyes when he looked at that person.

Huh? The county magistrate is actually afraid of this little girl.

It seems that the identity of this little girl is not simple. Today she needs someone like this to help them.

"How about this, I will be watching. No matter what, I will not allow you to falsely accuse me. Each of you will be punished with ten strokes of the cane, and this matter will be over."

Ten fights, ten spankings on the buttocks.

It's impossible, absolutely impossible. In her previous life, she was an orphan and was often beaten by the director of the orphanage, which was acceptable to her. But it is absolutely impossible for her to be beaten in this life.

Her current identity is not simple, she can be bullied easily.

"You are so indiscriminate in torturing people. I despise your way of being an official.

They came to our store to cause trouble, but not only did you not solve the problem, you also put all the blame on us. We are just ordinary civilians and cannot resist at all. That's one thing.

The second thing is, why do you want us to be beaten for no reason? I have to go to the capital to see if the officials there are also like you who punish people without any reason."

The county magistrate's thick eyebrows instantly raised, he was really angry and afraid.
