He had some kung fu skills, and when Zhu Lei hugged him, he tried to step back, but was still hugged by Zhu Lei.

At this time he understood that Zhu Lei was definitely not an ordinary citizen. Even though he had practiced kung fu, at least he had more strength than an ordinary person.

Another thing is that he wanted to kick the person away, but he used so much strength that his legs were still held in Zhu Lei's arms.

"How dare you fight with an adult? Let go now."

When Yang Run saw his young master being hugged by someone, he hurried forward to get Zhu Lei away.

Even if Zhu Lei didn't want to let go this time, he had no choice.

Yang Run is Yang Zhijin's personal servant. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Although his martial arts skills are not up to the level of a top master, he is still not someone Zhu Lei can resist.

Under Yang Run's iron grip, Zhu Lei was pulled away.

But Zhu Lei was still crying, and didn't say anything else. He just complained about the death of his grandson and how miserable he would be alone in the future.

County Magistrate Yang and the yamen runners had no idea what was going on with Zhu Sijin's death, but the seven village heads present knew it clearly.

Village head Li and other village heads were more knowledgeable than the villagers and understood why Zhu Lei was crying like that. He just wanted to escape the blame and ask County Magistrate Yang not to investigate the matter of him bringing people to the village to steal food.

But how is that possible? Lord Yang is not the county magistrate of the past. He can be bribed by you, Zhu Lei, as long as you have silver.

No matter how many bad things Zhulin Village has done, they can always escape the punishment of the law.

Li Mengyue originally wanted Xie Ruiyuan to explain why she asked people to get food when she had given them one million kilograms of food.

That’s the point, but why did they also create a future princess for her?

She didn't have to rely on Xie Ruiyuan, nor was she worried that her child would lose a lot of fatherly love without a father, nor was she unable to live without a man.

But she couldn't accept that Xie Ruiyuan was with her while having other women at the same time. This was something she could not tolerate.

Seeing how calm Xie Ruiyuan was, she felt that she couldn't believe what Liu Quan said. Anyway, she was very conflicted and a little confused.

[Host, you have fallen in love with King Chen. ]

Hearing Tuanzi's affirmative tone, Li Mengyue immediately denied it.

[Tuanzi, that's not happening. Why don't you just focus on some unfounded things instead of just broadcasting? Our current mission is to help refugees. There are more and more refugees at the city gates. You don't think about how to get the refugees to repair the reservoir, but you're just doing something useless.]

[Host, you are angry and guilty. I just want to say one thing. You have said so much, but you are moved. The host I know is not like this. He is a top killer who is decisive and will never fall in love with any man. But now you have changed, you have become indecisive, you no longer have the courage to turn around and leave, and you are wondering if the King of Chen really has another woman. But host, I want to tell you the truth here, I like you like this, you are more humane now than before, and you are no longer a cold killer machine. ]

After listening to what Tuanzi said, Li Mengyue did not refute this time. She also knew that she had changed and became somewhat unlike herself.

But facing this change, she did not reject it. Instead, she felt that her life had become much richer and no longer monotonous. She no longer just completed tasks and killed people endlessly.

However, no matter how things change, principles cannot change. What she wants is to be with one person for the rest of her life. If Xie Ruiyuan cannot give her what she wants, then she will definitely turn around and live with the child.

Anyway, her life now is earned, every day she lives is precious, how can she waste it on unworthy people and things?

After thinking all this through, Li Mengyue turned her attention to Yang Zhijin to see how he would deal with Zhu Lei and the people from Zhulin Village.

Yang Zhijin freed her legs from Zhu Lei's hands and took a few steps back, moving a little further away from Zhu Lei.

He didn't ask Zhu Lei, but turned his gaze to Village Chief Li.

"Village Chief Li, please tell me, what happened?"

"Yes, Master Yang."

Village chief Li hurried forward and knelt in front of Yang Zhijin.

"Village Chief Li, you don't have to kneel, come forward and answer my question."

"Thank you, sir."

Then Village Chief Li brought Zhu Lei and the villagers to the village to steal food. At first, he said he would not give them a penny, but later he said he would charge two cents per pound. The villagers were unwilling to do so, and the opposition was too strong, so the two villages started fighting.

At this point, Village Chief Li's tone was still calm, but then he became excited.

He said indignantly, "Sir Yang, Village Chief Zhu wanted the village's grain, and we couldn't defeat him, so the grain was taken away by him. It's our own incompetence, so that's fine. But Zhu Lei is too much. He said that if we drive Li Mengyue out of the village, they will buy grain from us at the price of two cents per pound."

"Bah! In this time of year, food is so precious that you can't even buy it even if you have money. How dare Zhu Lei be so arrogant? It's fine if he just wants food, but he also wants to drive the noble man from our village. How can this be allowed?"

"Yes, the village chief is right. We must not drive Li Mengyue out of the village."

"Li Mengyue is from one of our seven villages. Why should we just listen to Zhu Lei's words?"

"I think the people of Zhulin Village are jealous. They are jealous that we have Li Mengyue, so they want to get rid of her. Stealing food is just an excuse. Getting rid of Li Mengyue is the real purpose."

"What are you talking about? When did Village Chief Li say that Miss Li would be driven away? Just listen to what the village chief has to say. Lord Yang is still here. What are you talking about?" Village Chief Zhou said, and the villagers who were filled with righteous indignation suddenly quieted down.

Seeing that the villagers were not so angry anymore, Village Chief Li continued to explain clearly the reasons why Zhu Sijin died, why they compromised and were willing to sell all 20,000 kilograms of grain at the price of two cents per kilogram.

After hearing this, Yang Zhijin understood exactly what had happened.

Before coming here, he was in Qingshan Town, dealing with conflicts among refugees. Just after he dealt with some people, he saw someone coming to report a case.

It was said that Village Chief Zhu took the villagers of Zhulin Village to Xinghua Village to steal food.

When he heard the words "Xinghua Village", he became interested in it.

It is true that Xinghua Village has a different meaning to him.

Leaving the unresolved matters to his master, he led his men to Xinghua Village without hesitation.

To be honest, if he hadn't been in Qingshan Town, who knows how much time Village Chief Wang's son would have wasted rushing to the county town.

He was worried that someone might die, so he ordered people to hurry up, but even after they rushed to Xinghua Village, they still couldn't avoid the loss of life.

However, when he heard that the person who died was not a villager from Xinghua Village, he felt fortunate.

Although he is the chief official of Wuning County, all the people under his jurisdiction are under his jurisdiction and are his responsibility.

But everyone has selfish desires. He is not a saint, so he is the same. Compared with other villages, he has come to Xinghua Village more often, so it is inevitable that he will favor Xinghua Village.
