Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

When Mi Yao turned around, he threw a handful of powder down and said, "Have a good sleep."

"Are you scared?" Night Owl closed the door.

"Don't be afraid." Mi Yao shook her head and went back to the room.

Ye Xiao looked at Mi Yao's back, wishing that the woman would say that he was scared and needed his protection.

The next day, when everyone came to work, they saw Lai San tied up.

"Who is this?"

"Why did someone tie you up? Did you sleep outside all night?"

"I think this person looks familiar?"

"I think so too. Isn't this the famous Laijia Village laolai who always collects protection fees from people in town?"

A few people who knew Lai San also recognized him.

The key is how this person got here.

Liu Fugui came and saw Lai San like this. What else did he not understand?

A bucket of water was poured over him and Lai San woke up suddenly.

"Who tied me up? Do you know who I am?" Lai San cursed.

"Lai San, put away your arrogance. This is Liujia Village. You are from Laijia Village. What are you doing here across these three villages?" Liu Fugui walked over.

"I can go to wherever I fall in love with, what's it got to do with you? What law in Dongqi stipulates that I can't go to other villages? I'm here to find my lover, what's it to you to control me?" Lai San is a tough guy, he is not afraid of Village Chief Liu at all, he keeps talking nonsense while glancing at Mi Yao.

"Lai San, the night before last, the wall of the Ye family was pushed down for no reason. Last night, you came here again, to the same place. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Liu Fugui asked.

"Yes, it's such a coincidence. Let me tell you, Village Chief Liu, to let me go immediately, otherwise I will make you pay for it." Lai San is a tough guy.

Everyone was in trouble.

"Everyone, go back to work. Ye Xiao, send the man to the government office." Seeing that there was nothing he could do about the situation at the moment, Mi Yao could only go see the official.

When it comes to seeing the official, Lai San is not afraid of the town government office or the prison. He has been there several times every year, and always came out safe and sound.

Mi Yao arranged what dishes to prepare for lunch with Cuihong and Yinghua's second sister-in-law, and then went to the village entrance with Yexiao.

Ye Xiao hired Uncle Liu's ox cart. Ye Xiao and Shuanzi grabbed Lai San, turned around and pulled Mi Yao over. Liu Fugui also got on the cart, along with two enthusiastic villagers.

When they arrived at the town government office, someone immediately went to the back hall to look for Lord Jin Zheng. Jin Zheng had just come out of his old mother's yard. When he heard the servant's report, he hurried to the front yard to attend the court session.

"Who is the plaintiff? Who are you suing?" When Jin Zheng saw Ye Xiao in the hall, he couldn't help but look at the woman beside him. This must be Mi Yao who saved his son.

"Your Excellency, I have recently been building a house and putting up a big wall. The night before yesterday, for some unknown reason, a section of the newly built wall was pushed down. So last night, I deliberately stayed there. Sure enough, someone came to destroy it again last night and was caught by me. This person is the thief." Night Owl pointed at Lai San lying on the ground.

"Please give me justice, sir." Ye Xiao kowtowed.

"Who are you? Which village are you from? Why do you come to Liujia Village in the middle of the night?" Jin Zheng has been at this juncture for many years, and he sits there with an intimidating presence without even getting angry.

"My name is Lai Jun. I'm from Laijia Village. I'm the third child in my family. People call me Lai San. I heard that the Ye family is building a house, and I wanted to go and see if they are still hiring?" It seemed that Lai San had thought of this speech in advance, and he spoke it calmly.

"Looking for work, going to someone's house in the middle of the night, this is the first time I've heard of this." Lord Jin smiled, then slammed the desk, "What nonsense, full of lies, you stay up late at night and go to someone's house to do something illegal and you say you're looking for work? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Lai San was startled.

"Sir, I heard that Lai San is lazy and does not work properly. He often does petty thefts. Who knows if he has something behind this. He is so bold that he sneaks into someone else's house in the middle of the night. Our family is poor and we can't take anything, but if it was a wealthy family, I can't say for sure." Mi Yao said sarcastically, with hints in her words.

"Sir, this Lai San is a scoundrel. He is notorious in the town and is familiar with the town. Maybe he really colludes with others..." said a yamen runner with a bow.

Lord Jin narrowed his eyes. He still had no clue about the theft in Ren's warehouse. Mi Yao's words gave him some inspiration, and the words of the yamen runner gave him a direction.

Jin Zheng looked at Lai San and wanted to let Lai San be the scapegoat, but he felt a little reluctant. However, the Ren family was pushing him too hard.

Lai San felt uneasy when Jin Zheng was looking at him. He felt like he was going to take the blame.

"Lai Jun, the Ye family's wall collapsed and it's exactly the same place you went last night. No one believes you if you say there's no connection. So you insist? Then don't blame me for punishing you." Jin Zheng said as he took out a wooden execution sign and was about to throw it down.

Lai San felt something was wrong.

"Sir, I suddenly remembered that a friend of mine got a little humiliated while working at the Ye family and wanted me to vent his anger, so I came up with this desperate plan?" Lai San said hurriedly with his eyes rolling.

"Since you don't tell the truth, someone come here." Jin Zheng raised the sign in his hand.

"No, sir, wait a minute, I remembered. He is not a brother who works for the Ye family. We are together in the town. His name is Lai Qirong. We are from the same village. He asked me to go to the Ye family to do some trouble." A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Lai San saw that Lord Jin was going to get serious. He felt pain in his waist just by looking at the big stick hitting him.

So, he decisively betrayed his buddy.

"Go to Laijia Village to summon Lai Qirong?" Jin Zheng ordered.

Within an hour, Lai Qirong was brought in, looking half asleep.

"Bang" the gavel slammed, and Lai Qirong immediately sobered up. He drank a little wine last night and accidentally drank too much.

"Is it Lai Qirong?" asked Lord Jin.

"He's a villain." No matter how bad Lai Qirong is, he is afraid of officials.

"Lai Jun, do you know him?" asked Lord Jin.

"I know him." Lai Qirong replied.

"Lai Jun said that you asked him to go to the Ye family in Liujia Village to cause trouble. Is this true?" asked Lord Jin.

Lai Qirong glared at Lai San, wondering how could this guy betray him?

Lai San glanced at Lai Qirong and shrugged, meaning, there's nothing I can do.

"No...no sir, it was just a joke. I didn't expect Lai San to take it seriously." Lai Qirong said with a grin.

"How can I let a joke go?" Jin Zheng said with a gloomy face.

"Sir, I was wrong. I will compensate for any losses suffered by the Ye family." Lai Qirong was ready to spend money to avoid disaster.

"I don't know what grudge I have against you, but you actually hired someone to attack the wall of my house?" asked Ye Xiao.

"I just don't like you, so what?" Lai Qirong was afraid of officials, but he was not afraid of a soldier like him.

"How dare you, Lai Qirong. This is a court, and you are so shameless. You just go and smash their walls when you can't stand them. Do you still have the Dongqi law in your heart?" Lord Jin slammed the table.

"Yes, yes, sir, I will never dare to do it again." Lai Qirong glanced at Ye Xiao and thought to himself, I am not done with you.

"If you destroy someone's wall, you must pay compensation. Now I sentence you two to compensate the Ye family for their losses of two taels of silver. Do you have any objection?" Jin Zheng asked.
