I traveled through time and space as a little girl, and the emperor appointed me as the great master

Chapter 81: Going into the city and meeting an old man and being bullied

"You don't do your work all day long, but just gossip. I think the village is so poor now, and it's all because of you old women holding it back." The village chief cursed angrily.

The old women were a little dissatisfied when the big pot fell down. They immediately glared at Kong Xiaoxiao with resentment, then they put away their expressions and said to the village chief with a smile: "Village chief, since this girl drank the water, let her go quickly. It's not good for an outsider to stay in the village."

After saying that, he did not forget to raise his chin towards Kong Xiaoxiao.

Aunt Cao was so anxious when she saw Renshi like this that she grabbed the village chief's sleeve and sobbed, "Village chief, this girl has just calculated the whereabouts of my son and daughter-in-law. She can't leave."

The women who were making trouble felt that they had just heard a joke when they heard this. Ren pouted again and said, "Tsk, Cao, you are going backwards as you grow older. You can't even lie anymore. How old is this little girl? Why don't you say that you are the county magistrate's mother?"

Kong Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and stared at Ren for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt Ren, I wonder if your spouse knows about your relationship with the widower in the village?"

Aunt Ren's originally proud face turned pale in an instant, but she quickly calmed down. It was impossible. No one knew about her affairs. This little girl must have cheated her.

Seeing this, Kong Xiaoxiao said quietly: "The old widower is still wearing the purse you gave him. What do you think, should we go and take a look now?"

Mrs. Ren's defense was broken, her hands were shaking constantly, and she pointed at Kong Xiaoxiao with some guilt and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, you dare to ruin my reputation, I will tear you apart." As she said that, her eyes were spitting fire, and she reached out to pinch Kong Xiaoxiao.

The others who were quick to act didn't react.

Kong Xiaoxiao sneered and kicked Ren Pozi in the stomach as she rushed over.

I kicked her directly to the ground, and she fell on her butt, screaming in pain.

"Oh, help! Someone is killing someone."

Mrs. Ren lost both face and dignity, and immediately started throwing a tantrum.

The village chief felt that this scene had made him lose face.

His face suddenly turned pale and he shouted, "That's enough! Drag her away."

The two people who usually gossiped with Ren Pozi had to grab her arms each and drag her away.

After the gossip woman left, the scene finally became quiet.

The village chief recalled Kong Xiaoxiao's kick just now, and it was obvious that there was some skill involved.

Could it be that he is really a person of great ability as Cao said?

His son and daughter-in-law are gone, and his wife is sick. Every day he has to take care of his grandchildren and his wife. He is the one who takes care of everything in the house.

He's in much worse spirits.

He was afraid that one day he would pass away without ever seeing his sons for the last time.

Looking at Kong Xiaoxiao, he seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself.

"Village Chief, please tell me what you want to say.

The village chief saw that his thoughts had been seen through, so he stopped hiding them.

"Young lady, what I want to ask is, is what Cao said just now true? Do you really know where they are?"

The villagers who did not leave also moved closer, after all, most of the young men in their families had been captured.

Everyone wants to know about their situation.

Kong Xiaoxiao was in a good mood after seeing those annoying people leave.

"Yes, I am a Taoist nun. I learned some skills from my master. Seeing that my aunt and I got along well, I read their fortune and I was able to predict their location."

The village chief was relieved.

Finally there is news.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Little girl, oh, you are the noble person of our village."

"We misunderstood you just now, don't worry about it."

"So, what this girl said just now about Ren and the old widower is true?"

"Oh my god, she is so old, how dare she do this? Bah, she really brings shame to the village, village chief, you should punish her severely for this matter."

The village chief doesn't have time to take care of that old woman's affairs now.

He waved his hands irritably and said, "Okay, you guys have lost the point."

Everyone then quieted down and looked at Kong Xiaoxiao.

Kong Xiaoxiao had to dampen their hopes.

"It's no use for you to look at me. The man was captured by your county magistrate and forced to do hard labor. The woman was also taken away and sold by the county magistrate. Even if you knew about it, you couldn't get her back."

How can ordinary people defeat officials?

Unless evidence is found or the news is delivered to a reliable senior official.

This statement dampened everyone's hopes.

Some people's eyes were already red, unable to hide their sadness, and they began to cry.

The village chief was instantly shocked by the news and seemed to have aged ten years. He could do nothing about the county magistrate, so what could he do even if he knew the news?

The fact that his son was still alive gave him hope.

As for the daughter-in-law, not only has her reputation been ruined by being sold, but even if she is found, she will probably not live long.

He knew his daughter-in-law well. If she was sold and her innocence was ruined, she would rather die than live.

Seeing that everyone had sadness on their faces and had no intention of resisting, Kong Xiaoxiao was unwilling to help.

Anyway, those strong men will not die as long as they work hard.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. If you want to save them, you can carefully collect evidence of the county magistrate's crime and give it to a reliable person to take to the capital to file a complaint."

"Or I can take the evidence to a good official and have him report it to the court. But the prerequisite is that you need to take the first step, otherwise no one will care about this matter."

After saying this, he ignored their disappointment and drove out of the village in his carriage.

After leaving the village, he took out two chicken legs and gave one to Xiao Huang. She held the chicken leg in one hand and drove the carriage with the other.

Xiao Huang was almost done chewing the chicken leg, and then he looked at the chicken bones and muttered to Kong Xiaoxiao, "Master, can you give me a whole chicken next time? I can't be full with just one chicken leg."

"Okay, no problem. If you're not full, just eat two extra meat buns. When we get to the county, I'll buy you something delicious."

The man and the beast walked for about two more hours and finally arrived at Qingping County.

You need to pay five cents to enter the city, otherwise you will not be allowed in.

Five cents was already very expensive for ordinary people.

After all, a pound of brown rice costs five cents, which is enough for a family's food for a day.

This county magistrate is really exploiting the people everywhere.

When Kong Xiaoxiao was queuing up to enter the city, she heard a commotion at the cashier's desk.

"You old thing, why are you going to the city without money? Get out, get out, get out."

"Bang, sizzle..."

An old man with half of his hair white was pushed to the ground by the official. The firewood on his shoulders also fell to the ground with him and scattered.

This sudden change scared many people and made them retreat.

After all, the people should not fight against the officials, and no one dared to step forward to help the old man who fell to the ground and had bleeding mouth.

"Sir, I really have no money. Please have mercy on me and let me go in and sell this load of firewood for money. My family is out of food..."

Even though the old man was pushed to the ground, he had no complaints and just kept begging the officials guarding the city.

There were two gatekeepers, one short and one taller. Seeing the old man's miserable appearance, neither of them was moved. Some only mocked him, "You old fool, the entrance fee is an order issued by the county magistrate. Who do you think you are? I'll save you money just because I say so? If you don't let me go, I'll make you pay. Believe it or not, I'll arrest you and lock you up in jail."

Kong Xiaoxiao's originally good mood was now completely destroyed by these two parasites.

She walked straight towards the old man, dismounted from her horse, and helped him up.

The old man stood up tremblingly. He was flattered at first and kept bending to thank Kong Xiaoxiao: "Thank you, little girl, you are such a good person." Then he dragged his injured body and bent down to tidy up the firewood on the ground.

The onlookers saw that Kong Xiaoxiao was just a little girl, but she had the courage to go against the officials. Everyone looked at her with inexplicable emotions in their eyes.

The two officers guarding the gate looked at each other and said "Pooh" in unison when they saw someone dared to hit them in the face. Then the short officer immediately reached out and put the knife on the table on his waist and walked over in a nonchalant manner.

When he came to Kong Xiaoxiao, he whistled in a rogue manner, and then sneered: "Hey, little girl, you are quite brave. Do you know what will happen if you offend us brothers?"
