This female leader is a little bit stronger

Just then, raindrops began to fall.

And it just happened to fall on the fire, quickly extinguishing the flames.

Ning Ye brought the three Wei brothers and three instructors, followed by a group of little kids. Everyone had a weapon in their hands, and the group rushed over in a hurry.

The originally arrogant county magistrate, seeing this, scurried behind the officers and soldiers like a rat, still bluffing, "What do you want to do? Gathering together to cause trouble? I'm warning you..."

call out--!

Ning Ye threw the wooden stick in his hand away.

The wooden stick drew a straight line in the air and hit the magistrate's forehead accurately.

There was a loud bang, and blood burst out on his forehead. He fell backwards to the ground with stars in his eyes.

The officers and soldiers were suddenly at a loss.

Ning Ye led people to rescue the civilians they had detained, and then together with the civilians, surrounded them.

The magistrate did not faint. He climbed up from the ground tremblingly, his face covered in blood, making him look like a ghost.

"Do you want to rebel?!"

He scolded the people.

He knew that he must not show panic and must establish his authority to calm the situation.

The people have always been in awe of those in power, and the mere mention of rebellion made many people take a few steps back.

The magistrate's eyes revealed a cunning and triumphant look as he looked at Ning Ye, "Immortal Ning Ye! You assaulted an official of the imperial court. I don't want your head anymore!"

Ning Ye was not intimidated by him at all. He pushed the others aside and walked to the opposite side of him.

"An official appointed by the imperial court? Are you worthy of being an official? Besides exploiting them, what have you done for the people? The people are growing food in their own fields, and you set them on fire. How can someone like you be worthy of being an official?"

The magistrate dared not let her get close, and kept hiding behind other people, even saying with a straight face, "My own land? Don't talk nonsense! This is the land of the imperial court, it's my land! I didn't allow them to open up wasteland and cultivate it privately! If they do cultivate it, it's illegal, and of course I can burn it down!"

Ning Ye held up the land deed with the official seal and showed it to everyone.

"Here is the deed, and it was personally stamped by you, the county magistrate. Do you want to deny it?"

The magistrate had anticipated her move and, holding his chin high, declared, "This is fake, a forgery. I have never issued you a deed! I, Ning Ye, not only assaulted an official appointed by the imperial court, but you also forged a deed without authorization. Your crime is even greater! Arrest her! Anyone who tries to stop her will be punished with the same crime!"

The officers and soldiers took out iron shackles and began to torture Ning Ye.

Ning Ye didn't let anyone stop him. He let the officers and soldiers put him in shackles and sneered at the magistrate.

Seeing her still so arrogant even at the brink of death, the magistrate was furious. He approached her and threatened her fiercely, "You are just a lowly person, and you dare to fight me! Today, even if the Emperor himself comes, he can't save you!"

Ning Ye raised her eyes and said to him fearlessly, "Really?"

The magistrate felt guilty when he saw her look.

After thinking about it, he felt that she definitely couldn't come up with anything to rely on.

The only thing that was great about her was that her cultivation was a little bit stronger.

But there are many talented people in the court who are better than her. Next, he only needs to force her to become a fugitive, and then he can immediately report to the court and ask the court to issue an order to kill her!

"If you have the guts, just run away!" The magistrate's mouth became more and more crooked, as if he had already secured victory.

Ning Ye ignored him and turned to look aside, "Yang County Magistrate, someone knowingly broke the law, and you don't do anything about it?"

County Magistrate: ???

Who?

Sheriff?

The crowd automatically made way for him, and Yang Yanxiu, dressed in plain clothes, stepped forward and showed his official seal to the group of officers and soldiers.

Thump thump thump thump…

All the officers and soldiers knelt down to greet them.

The magistrate trembled all over and slowly knelt down. He shouted in a trembling voice, "Your humble servant, Li Mou, the magistrate of Qiyuan Town, respectfully welcomes the county governor. I didn't know the county governor was here in person..."

"Enough! County Magistrate Li, do you admit your guilt?" Yang Yanxiu shouted.

The magistrate trembled even more violently, but he still argued, "Your Excellency, I am innocent! It was that girl who forged the land deeds and deceived the people."

He thought to himself that since he had destroyed the account books anyway, as long as he insisted that he had never sold the land to Ning Ye, even if the county magistrate came, he would not be able to do anything to him.

Yang Yanxiu did not need to bluff like Li Mou. He was upright and exuded Confucian righteousness, and was awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

Hearing Li Mousi's denial, he withdrew the only chance he had given him to surrender, clapped his hands, and said, "Bring the master up here."

The magistrate's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he looked in horror.

The lawyer was brought over. He knelt down immediately, took out an account book from his arms and presented it with both hands.

The magistrate's eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at the legal advisor in disbelief, "You, you, you..."

Didn't he tell him to destroy the account books?

The legal advisor didn't dare look at the magistrate. He kowtowed repeatedly to the governor, recounting his crimes:

"Li Mou served as county magistrate for decades. Every bribe he accepted, as well as his dealings with imperial land, his unauthorized increase in taxes on merchants and farmers, and his embezzlement of imperial relief grain during years of famine and his subsequent sale of grain at exorbitant prices...all of this is recorded in the register. Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, please review it."

Yang Yanxiu opened the account book and found that it was just as his lawyer had said, with every item and every detail recorded very clearly.

Including the huge amount of money Ning Ye paid to buy land from him.

There was a snap.

Yang Yanxiu closed the account book and stared at Li Mou angrily, "What else do you have to say?!"

Li Mou was trembling like a sieve, knowing that he was finished, so he had to kowtow and confess his guilt, praying for a chance of leniency.

"I know my mistake."

……

The weather in Qiyuan Town has changed.

The people celebrated the harvest happily.

People from the Tianning Sect branch have been working in the fields to harvest crops these days.

There was no other way, as they were many in number and had planted dozens of acres of land.

As bags of grain were moved into the warehouse, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Eat new rice for lunch.

The grains are crystal clear and fragrant, and the children can finish two large bowls with just rice.

After Xiao Tianxin's situation stabilized, Sun Tiangao returned to teach.

He took a mouthful of fresh rice and paused slightly.

Qian Xiaomei noticed him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sun Tiangao didn't say anything. As if to confirm something, he took another mouthful of rice and chewed it carefully. Then he said, "This rice is unusual. It seems to be... spiritual rice."

"Lingmi?"

Qian Xiaomei was shocked. "You're not making a mistake, are you?"

Lingmi, a treasure that I heard can only be grown by wealthy families, is extremely beneficial to cultivators, and can also prolong the lifespan of mortals if they eat it!

One tael of spiritual rice is worth ten taels of spiritual crystals!

Zheng Laosi and He Yong on both sides heard their conversation without saying a word, but they quietly quickened their eating pace.

Sun Tiangao said slowly: "In the early years, my master accidentally got a few kilograms of spiritual rice. I have eaten it and it feels very similar. However, this rice does not have the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual rice."

"Without spiritual energy, isn't it just ordinary rice?" Qian Xiaomei said casually, "But it's really delicious. I want another bowl!"

Sun Tiangao did not comment, and glanced at Ning Ye at the next table with his heavily lined eyes.
