Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The county magistrate watched Lan Ying easily deal with several yamen runners.

My temple was throbbing.

"Someone, come here! Take down these troublemakers."

Another 20 came and were dealt with by Lan Ying and Zhang Zijin together.

The county magistrate felt a little regretful.

We have run into a tough opponent. We have to change our strategy and cannot stick to the same path.

"Okay, you go down first."

The county magistrate waved his hands at the group of yamen runners who were groaning.

A bunch of rubbish, so many people can't beat a little maid. He had to change his strategy because of the harm to the adults.

"Well, what are you suing for?"

He turned around and changed his face to Zhao Yuanzhen and the others. He was much more friendly.

"My wife wants to sue the March Inn in this county town. They stole our horses, luggage, carriages, and thousands of taels of gold and silver. In addition, our little brother came to report the case this morning and has not returned yet. Let's see if your government has detained our little brother."

Lan Ying started to scold the county magistrate. It was obvious at first glance that this corrupt official was not a good person.

"Then do you have any evidence to prove that you lost the carriage?"

"What evidence?"

"Prove that your carriage was lost?"

"Our carriage is missing, doesn't that mean it's lost? Do we need proof?"

"What if you are the one who falsely accuses the inn?"

"Open your dog eyes and see, our lady is rich and powerful, would she care about the two silver coins in their inn?"

The little profit from the inn is not even as much as the small change from their beauty shop, and yet they dare to come here and scam me.

"But, everything requires evidence. If you can't prove that your carriage is lost, I can't handle the case for you!"

"Is that so? Lan Ying! I think the man in the hall is definitely not the county magistrate. He must be an imposter."

"How dare you! I am truly the county magistrate."

"How do you prove that you are talking about yourself? Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course, I have a badge, this is my badge!"

The county magistrate took out his badge and showed it to them.

"Lan Ying!"

Lan Ying immediately stepped forward and snatched the county magistrate's badge.

"How dare you steal my things! Give them back quickly."

"My dear, who are you? How dare you stand in the position of the county magistrate! Come down quickly."

"Hurry up and return my badge!"

"How do you prove that what's yours is yours? You are you?"

"You, you are unreasonable. I am the official. Do you need to prove it? It's a joke."

"Our lady said the carriage was lost, so it was lost. Does she need proof? What a joke!"

Lan Ying is really eloquent.

"You, you are such a sharp-tongued woman, it is true that only villains and women are hard to raise!"

"It's just so-so. Thanks for the compliment."

Lan Ying is not weak at all!

"I advise you to handle the case well, otherwise you may have to reissue your badge."

"You, you, you! Shameless and unruly people!"

"Sir, how do you plan to handle this case?"

The county magistrate was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he could do nothing.

The matter of losing the waist badge can be a big or small matter, but it needs to be reported to the court and re-ordered. If His Majesty knew about this, I am afraid he would not have a good impression of me.

I'm afraid there's no hope of getting promoted in this life!

"Someone, go get the people from the inn and confront them first."

"Yes, my lord."

The government office went to the inn, so Zhao Yuanzhen and his companions could only wait here.

The fastest round trip takes more than 40 minutes.

Some waited.

Zhao Yuanzhen had nothing to do at the moment, so she first took a look at Qingfeng's location. Qingfeng was in the county government office, and judging from his location, he was in the prison.

As expected, he was detained.

I scanned the county magistrate again.

The county magistrate is called Du Anji. He has been in office for nearly 10 years. During his tenure, he has not made any major mistakes, but he has committed some minor corruption and bribery.

There were no cases of disregard for human life, but there were many wrongful convictions.

It seems that he has not yet completely lost his conscience and humanity.

Du Anji, the Du County Magistrate, has always dreamed of getting promoted and getting rich, so he dared not do anything too extreme and can not be considered a good person.

The reason for his attitude towards this inn incident was that the people in the inn gave him a lot of silver.

On the other hand, the inn was run by the prefect's brother-in-law, so he didn't dare to interfere too much.

The prefect is his immediate superior!

How can I offend you?

What if the prefect's wife spreads rumors and you die without knowing how?

Therefore, regarding the previous incidents at the March Inn, he could only try to make excuses and smooth things over.

But I didn't know that I would meet a tough guy this time. Not only is he a martial arts expert, but he also has a lot of achievements. I can't be too harsh on him!

Zhao Yuanzhen raised her eyebrows. The prefect's brother-in-law was so arrogant.

Then, as the mother of the prefect, could I be a little more arrogant?

Sure enough, when the bailiffs brought the innkeepers over, almost 50 minutes had passed.

"I am here to see you, sir. Hello, sir. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

The person who came was a waiter, not the innkeeper.

"Someone has accused your inn of stealing their horses, carriages, luggage, gold and silver. Do you know about this?"

"My Lord, I wonder which blind person is suing our inn? Our inn has always been doing business honestly. How could they do such a thing? Isn't this tarnishing the reputation of our inn? I will definitely not let this nonsense person off."

The waiter said this indignantly, with a look of righteousness on his face.

If those people didn't know the truth, they might have been fooled by him!

"These are the people next to you. Do you know them?"

The waiter raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen, Zhang Zijin and Lan Ying carefully.

Then he turned around, shook his head, and replied to the county magistrate.

"Your Excellency, I don't know these people, and I've never even seen them. They are making up stories and accusing our inn."

"You heard it, they don't know you at all in the inn, you are just making false accusations!"

"Nonsense! When we checked into the inn yesterday, it was this waiter who greeted us and helped us drive the carriage to the backyard."

Lan Ying remembered very clearly how enthusiastic the waiter was yesterday.

Therefore, she had a deep impression and would definitely not remember it wrongly.

"I was on duty in the inn yesterday and never saw you. You didn't even stay at our inn. How could you slander our inn? Did someone hire you to tarnish the reputation of our inn?"

The waiter started to confuse people and talk nonsense.

"You said you were on duty yesterday?"

"Yes, I've been on duty the whole time, and I've never seen any of you."

"You certainly don't know about the three carriages we lost!"

"What do you mean three? There are obviously two!"

When the waiter heard that she had made a false report, he was not paying attention and let the secret slip!

"How do you know we have two carriages if you haven't seen us?"

"I'm just guessing. I've never seen you before."

"We have the key to your inn, how dare you quibble?"

Zhang Zijin took out his room key and showed it to everyone.

"It's just a key, what does that mean? You just got a key from nowhere and you want to frame us. I tell you, it's impossible."

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, we can go to the inn and try the key to find out. Why? You don't dare?"

"What a joke! Why should I be afraid? We in March Inn have always been doing business in a kind and honest way. We will never take a single penny from our guests. I am not afraid of your slander. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow."

"Okay, let's go and try it out to see who is lying."

"Sir, although they want to blackmail our inn, we are innocent and have nothing to fear. We are willing to give it a try. Please come with us to the inn and clear our inn's name."

The waiter directly invited the county magistrate to join them.

"Okay, that's what I meant, and I hope the county magistrate can be a witness for us."

Zhao Yuanzhen also invited the county magistrate to go with him.

If the county magistrate goes with others, it will arouse everyone's curiosity. The more people are present, the bigger the matter will become. Zhao Yuanzhen wants to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know about it.

"Well, since you all invited me to go, I will go with you."

The county magistrate saw that the waiter was so confident that he knew that the inn was well prepared and was not afraid of them opening the lock.

Then I'll go there once, which will also make Zhao Yuanzhen and the others give up.

The county magistrate, along with the yamen runners, Zhao Yuanzhen, Zhang Zijin, Lan Ying, and the waiter, a large group of people, set out for the March Inn in a mighty manner.

Zhao Yuanzhen pointed at the people around Lan Ying, and some curious people started to gather around to watch.

Everyone wants to see what's going on.

Why is the county magistrate following too?

Lan Lili understood what Zhao Yuanzhen meant.

He cleared his throat and shouted to the crowd.

"Everyone, come and take a look. The March Inn is a shady inn that bullies its guests. It not only steals guests' carriages and luggage, but also sends people to break into guests' rooms at night. This is a shady inn! Maybe the buns they sell are filled with human meat. Come and take a look."

The crowd was curious about what was going on.

Unexpectedly, the kind-hearted Lan Ying gave a direct answer.

what!

It turned out to be the big news of March Inn!

""The March Inn is the largest inn in our county, and it has always been doing well. But today something like this happened!"

"seriously?"

"I don't know! It must be fake."

"It seems that there is someone in the March Inn? I heard about it from my seventh uncle's nephew's wife's brother before!"

"Yes, yes, I seem to have heard it too. It seems that someone, it seems that Mr. Li opened it!"

"Mr. Li? Hasn't he been a man for a long time? I heard there is no hope for him."

"Shh. Don't talk nonsense."

"Whether it's true or not, we can find out if we follow and take a look, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Come on, let's go and take a look. I want to see if this March Inn is real or fake this time!"

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go and take a look."

"go!"

Afterwards, a large group of people followed Lan Ying and the others and set off.

Lan Ying’s shouting never stopped.

This leads to more and more people following suit.

The team is growing larger and larger.
