As soon as Xu Ruhua saw them leave, she immediately asked worriedly, "Shuisheng, is there something wrong?"

Although Wang Shuisheng was puzzled as to why they were so strong-willed now, he still felt that Wang Hong's family had no backing and was a weak family in the village, so they would definitely not dare to go to the government office.

Therefore, he comforted Xu Ruhua and said, "Don't worry, mother. Wang Dayi and his family are just cowards. What can they do? In the end, they will have to sell their house and land to compensate us."

Although Xu Ruhua felt that what Wang Shuisheng said made sense, she was still a little nervous: "Mom is afraid that they will really report it to the government office."

"Impossible, they don't have the guts."

Wang Shuisheng leaned on the bed and said without any worry.

"If you ask me, the way they acted just now is just to delay paying us the money for a few more days. In that case, the worst that can happen is that we just wait a few more days!"

Wang Shan rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, Shuisheng is right. Wang Dayi's family has no presence in the village. They have no brothers or sisters. Why should we be afraid of them?"

Xu Ruhua nodded slightly, but she also warned Wang Shuisheng: "Now that this is over, you must never gamble again!"

Wang Shuisheng replied impatiently: "I know."

Wang Shan slapped him in the face, pointed at him and said angrily: "What's your attitude? I'm telling you, you found someone to take the blame this time. If there's a next time, you won't be my only son!"

Seeing Wang Shan getting angry, Wang Shuisheng covered his slapped face and answered honestly, "I know, Dad."

When Xu Ruhua saw his appearance, she immediately protected him with concern: "Boss, what are you doing?"

Wang Shan glanced at her and said, "A loving mother often spoils her son! If you continue to tolerate him doing these things, you can take him back to your mother's home."

Xu Ruhua didn't dare to say another word.

Just as he sat down on the edge of the bed and wanted to look at Wang Shuisheng's face, he saw the medicine boy and the yamen runners coming in.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

The medicine boy pointed at them and said, "Brother officer, they are Wang Shuisheng and his family!"

The bailiff came up and without saying a word, carried the whole family towards the yamen.

Wang Shuisheng's family became frightened at this time and hurriedly asked the bailiffs what they had done wrong that they were arrested.

The bailiff just glanced at them and said, "What crime have you committed? Don't you know it yourself?"

After saying that, he pushed them away. Poor Wang Shuisheng's leg had not healed yet, and he was dragged all the way, crying out in pain.

When I arrived at the yamen, I saw Wang Dayi and his family were all there.

Wang Shuisheng was immediately enraged and threatened, "Good for you, Wang Hong! You really came to the government office! I tell you, the compensation we want now is not just thirty taels, but fifty taels! Fifty taels!"

Jiang Xiaohe found it a little funny. Wow, he was so arrogant that he even dared to ask for fifty taels. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Wang Shuisheng, you can still bark now!" You will cry later.

Wang Shuisheng was furious when he saw Jiang Xiaohe: "It's you, isn't it? You were the one who asked them to come to the government office! I tell you, if they can't pay the money, you have to pay for them!"

What a mean mouth! Jiang Xiaohe sighed.

The head of the hall slapped the table, and the yamen runners standing on both sides immediately shouted: "Mighty..."

"This is the government office, how can you have any say?"

After he finished speaking, the people in the hall immediately quieted down.

Wang Shuisheng was the first to file a complaint: "Sir, I am Wang Shuisheng from Wangjiawan. I am now suing Wang Hong from the same village for intentionally injuring me, which has caused me to have difficulty walking and cannot work in the fields to earn money..."

The head of the pavilion narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh? You want to sue Wang Hong, but I just accepted Wang Hong's complaint and arrested your family."

Wang Shuisheng glared at Wang Hong.

Wang Hong didn't look at him, but bowed and repeated the process of her lawsuit.

"Sir, he is talking nonsense. It was Japan that hurt me. People from my village can testify for me!"

Wang Hong cupped her hands and said, "Sir, I was drunk that day and I don't remember what happened that day. Besides, the people Wang Shuisheng called his fellow villagers were actually his relatives!"

The head of the pavilion nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and said a few words to the yamen runner next to him. The yamen runner nodded, bowed to the head of the pavilion, and turned away.

Wang Hong looked at Jiang Xiaohe outside. Jiang Xiaohe nodded slightly at him. Wang Hong turned around and continued, "Sir, I have witnesses. Hu Gang and Hu Lie from Xinghua Village were also drinking with me that day. They can testify for me that I was drunk that day and did not beat Wang Shuisheng."

"Oh? Where is the witness now?"

"Just outside the hall."

"pass!"

Xu Ruhua and her family looked at each other, fear and worry clearly revealed in their eyes.

Hu Gang and Hu Lie were invited in. As soon as they entered the yamen, they started shaking violently.

The two men knelt down in front of the pavilion chief. The pavilion chief slammed the table, and the two men told the truth.

When the head of the pavilion heard this, he slammed the table and said, "Wang Shuisheng, what else do you have to say now?"

"My Lord, they are not telling the truth!"

Wang Shuishan is obviously scared now.

The head of the pavilion was not in a hurry: "Oh? You said they are not telling the truth. Fine, I have ordered people to invite your fellow villagers, as well as your former boss and the gambling house owner. They can confront you later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bailiff outside the hall brought another person in, and this person happened to be the boss of their regular work.

The boss didn't know why he was caught here and was a little scared. After he knelt down and listened to the headman's explanation of the whole story, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, half a month ago, Wang Hong and Wang Shuisheng did work at my dock. But on the last day, Wang Shuisheng used the excuse that he was not feeling well and basically did not work. But he did not go back either. He waited until I settled everyone's bills before leaving with them."

"Did Wang Shuisheng tell me where he felt uncomfortable?"

The boss replied, "He said he accidentally sprained his ankle the day before while working, and his legs and feet are a bit inconvenient. I'm a small businessman, and I'm afraid he'll really get hurt, so I let him do what he wants on the last day, and even gave him lunch."

Upon hearing what his boss said, Wang Shuisheng immediately became anxious.

Wang Dayi and Chen Xiuquan were even angrier.

"Wang Shuisheng, did you really sprain your leg while working?" the head of the pavilion asked, staring at him.

Wang Shuisheng was speechless at this time, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead: "I...I..."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't tell the truth now, I will send someone to invite the owner of the Jixiang Casino."

Wang Shuisheng was immediately trembling with fear. If the gambling house came, wouldn't they ask him for money on the spot? He rolled his eyes, but still couldn't say it. If he really admitted that he was blackmailing Wang Hong's family, then when the gambling house came, he would not be able to survive. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. As long as he didn't admit it, the pavilion chief couldn't do anything to him, and there were also his brothers, they would definitely speak for him.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuisheng immediately fell to the ground and said, "Sir, I am innocent! They are in the same group and deliberately wronged me."

"Wang Shuisheng you!" Wang Hong's face turned red with anger.
