The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

The county magistrate carefully pondered the contents of the two letters left behind by these thieves!

It is obvious that they care deeply about ordinary people, which means that the people that the lady and nephew provoked and the people they protected were ordinary people!

The county magistrate felt that he was getting closer to the truth of the matter!

But why was the nephew hung in front of Li’s house?

Thinking of this, the county magistrate hurried out of the yard, ordered people to prepare a sedan chair, and carried him to Li's Mansion. He was anxious to find out the truth of the matter!

On the way, the county magistrate happened to meet a group of servants who were carrying his nephew back.

He only left one sentence: Go back and serve the young master well. I have asked someone to invite Doctor Zhou from Huichun Hall to treat the young master well!

Then, he ignored his nephew's shouts and asked the servants to carry him and continue to rush to Li's Mansion.

In front of the Li Mansion, the county magistrate suddenly came to visit unexpectedly, and the butler Li who was standing at the door was startled!

He quickly asked his servant to report to the master, and then welcomed the county magistrate into the mansion very politely and respectfully.

The county magistrate didn't waste time talking to him and asked him to tell him everything that had happened today from beginning to end.

Then let the butler take him to Young Master Li’s room!

After arriving at Young Master Li's room, Nanny Li saw that the county magistrate had actually come, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, and then wanted to wake up the young master.

The county magistrate waved his hand to stop her. He walked around Young Master Li's room, observed for a while, then quickly walked out of Young Master Li's courtyard and walked out of the Li Mansion.

The butler was confused as to what the county magistrate was going to do, so he could only follow him respectfully.

The county magistrate asked as he walked, "Is there anything missing from your house?"

"Your Excellency, all the silver bills and ingots in the young master's room have disappeared, oh, and a set of silver teapots and teacups!"

The butler replied respectfully.

"What about the other people's rooms? And the storeroom?"

The county magistrate asked again.

"Sir, nothing else is missing from the mansion, only something is missing from the eldest young master's room!"

Butler Li replied with certainty.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate became even more certain of his guess!

These thieves are here for revenge!

They will take revenge on whoever provokes them, without involving anyone else!

Taking away money is just a matter of convenience! Also, they really don't like people who oppress the people!

Was my son’s death also due to offending these people?

He had to go back and quickly investigate the people who had been bullied by his son, wife, nephew, and the eldest young master of the Li family! See if he could find any clues.

I have to say, the county magistrate has revealed the truth! But it is difficult to find the real culprit!

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate! Your Excellency, County Magistrate! Why are you leaving right after you arrived? I have asked someone to prepare wine and food. Please do me the honor of having a meal at my house before you go back!"

Mr. Li, along with a group of servants, hurriedly chased after the county magistrate who had already reached the gate of the Li Mansion.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate stopped and waited for Master Li to come to him before he said politely, "Master Li, you are too polite. I won't bother you today. Let's meet again another day!"

Having said this, the county magistrate was about to leave.

Mr. Li quickly stepped forward, stopped the county magistrate, and said with a folded hand, "Mr. County magistrate, why are you so anxious?"

"Oh! I have to go back and investigate what happened between my nephew and your eldest master last night!"

"Your Excellency is so anxious, but do you have any clues? Could you please tell me something? If there is anything that my Li Mansion can help with, please feel free to tell me!"

Seeing Mr. Li's sincere look, the county magistrate thought that he was worried about his eldest son and wanted to catch the thief as soon as possible to feel at ease.

So, the county magistrate hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a clue. Since Mr. Li wants to help, he can order people to secretly investigate whether there are people with strong martial arts, medical skills or pharmaceutical skills in Linshan County recently."

"Okay, I'll order someone to check it out right now!"

Seeing that Master Li had solemnly explained the matter, the county magistrate thought for a moment and said to him, "Master Li, I would like to kindly remind you that before you catch the thief, you should control your family members and do not oppress the people or humiliate the servants! Otherwise, be careful of revenge!"

After saying that, the county magistrate quickly walked out of Li's house, got into the sedan chair, and ordered his servants to return to the county government office immediately!

Mr. Li chewed over the words left by the county magistrate before he left, staring in a daze at the direction where he disappeared!

"Master! Master?"

Seeing that the master was silent, the butler called him softly.

Master Li came back to his senses and solemnly instructed the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, tell all the masters in the mansion to behave themselves during this period of time, and not to bully the people or treat the servants harshly! Also, order all the servants in the mansion not to rely on the power of the Li Mansion to bully the people as they did before!"

After saying this, Mr. Li turned and went into the mansion.

Seeing the master's serious look, the butler quickly took the order and went to each courtyard to deliver the message personally. He also gathered all the servants and gave them some detailed instructions.

The common people in the city clearly feel that there are fewer and fewer incidents of molesting women, robbing goods, eating and free meals, etc., and those rich masters and young masters have actually changed their nature and become more well-behaved!

The people were very puzzled, and after asking around through various connections, they finally found out the reason!

It turned out that the hero who disciplined that bastard official’s nephew and the eldest son of the Li family last time left a letter threatening that bastard county magistrate!

He also left a message with feces in front of the gate of Li's mansion, warning them not to do unjust things.

Therefore, the people in the county magistrate's mansion and the Li Mansion have been particularly well-behaved recently and have not done anything bad again!

The common people cheered in their hearts and prayed secretly: Heroes, please don't get caught! If those corrupt officials and rich businessmen harm people again, they will be severely punished!

Other landlords and wealthy businessmen were surprised to see that the county magistrate and the Li family had been acting very low-key recently, so they used their money and connections to make inquiries.

They heard more news than the common people. They knew that the thieves were highly skilled in martial arts and could come and go freely in the heavily guarded county government office. It seemed that they also had an expert in using medicine! And the thieves hated people who oppressed the common people!

These landlords and wealthy businessmen valued their lives very much. After learning the news, they restrained the people in their houses and prohibited them from doing any evil things before the thieves were caught!

Therefore, unlike the people in other places who were living in dire straits, the people in Linshan County actually had a rare period of peace and stability!

The county magistrate took the list in his hand and pondered it over again and again!

It clearly records the names and details of all the people who had been harmed by his wife and son since before his son got into trouble, as well as the names and details of the people who had been bullied by his nephew and Young Master Li.

After investigating for such a long time, nothing unusual was found and no clues were found.

The county magistrate sighed. Fortunately, judging from the actions of those people, as long as he and the people in his mansion did not harm others, those thieves would not come to him!

Well, I'll send someone to continue the secret investigation. For the time being, we have to keep quiet like this!

He has been strict with his nephew recently, but unexpectedly he discovered that the boy has a good talent for studying and is worth cultivating. This gave him some comfort!
