After I became a maid, I relied on fortune-telling to support the whole family of the abandoned prin

The Chen family was stunned. Some of them realized that this was not really about the money, but that these officials were deliberately trying to make things difficult for the Chen family.

Old Madam Chen slapped her thigh and started crying again.

Mr. Chen stepped forward and said, "Sir, I have a few words to say to you."

Wang Tiezhu was determined: "I have nothing to discuss with an exiled prisoner like you. Just behave yourself and don't blame me for being rude!"

Old Master Chen was also stunned. He didn't expect Wang Tiezhu to be so determined. It seemed that he was deliberately making things difficult for the Chen family.

Seeing that he had no other choice, Old Master Chen could only go and beg Xiao Yanxi in person. He bowed his hands and bowed very low: "Master, please save my son's life. From now on, our Chen family will obey your orders!"

Xiao Yanxi: "I can't do anything. Please seek help from someone else."

Old Master Chen looked at Xiao Yanxi with a deep gaze. He never expected that Xiao Yanxi would actually do things so ruthlessly.

Mr. Chen was sent to the yamen, and the two hundred taels of silver from Mrs. Chen also went into the old man's pocket. The old man still insisted that Mr. Chen was the one who killed the man.

Old Madam Chen and Second Madam Chen became so angry that they fell ill and were unable to get up. The Chen family was in chaos.

Xie Fanjin asked Xiao Yanxi: "You won't, you really don't care?"

Xiao Yanxi: "They are not trying to get along with the Chen family, they are trying to find out my background."

Therefore, if Xiao Yanxi took action, he would put himself in danger.

If he hadn't cared, Mr. Chen wouldn't have lost his life.

At this time, a mysterious man came to the guest hall of the county government office.

The county magistrate is giving us a warm welcome.

"Sir, the man has been captured. Do you think we should torture him to make him confess?"

The man sat in the first seat. Although he was dressed simply, he had an extraordinary temperament.

He had a stern face, drank a sip of the tea handed to him by the county magistrate, and frowned in disdain: "What do you think?"

The county magistrate immediately understood: "I will go to court right away!"

As expected, after the court session, Mr. Chen refused to admit that he had killed the old woman.

But the old man insisted that it was Chen Erye who killed the man, and the villagers could testify to that.

Everyone in the Chen family said that the old woman was kicked to death by Song Qiang.

Wang Tiezhu and others insisted that the old woman died because Chen Erye had smashed her head.

Everyone had their own opinions, so Xiao Yanxi and his group were summoned to the classroom.

The county magistrate immediately asked Xiao Yanxi, "Master Xiao, who do you think killed this old woman?"

Xiao Yanxi straightened his back, his expression calm. "How did she die? Let's ask the coroner to examine her body. Wouldn't that reveal the truth?"

The county magistrate cleared his throat and said meaningfully, "There were so many people present at the time, why bother asking the coroner? If you say this matter has nothing to do with Master Chen, then I will release him immediately."

In everyone's opinion, the county magistrate intended to show goodwill to Xiao Yanxi. With just one word from Xiao Yanxi, Mr. Chen Er could be acquitted.

Old Madam Chen and Madam Chen Er knelt down in front of Xiao Yanxi again. Old Madam Chen burst into tears and said, "Master Xiao, the second son was clearly wronged. You must speak a word of justice for us!"

Madam Chen Er: "Mr. Xiao, please, for the sake of our aunt raising you, please save my husband's life!"

Xie Fanjin frowned. Although the county magistrate said so, he probably had ulterior motives.

Xiao Yanxi didn't buy into the County Magistrate's rhetoric and said calmly, "You already understand what happened. There's no need for me to elaborate on who's at fault. You're the County Magistrate, and I'm just an exiled commoner."

Xiao Yanxi's words made Old Master Chen and others very angry. Old Madam Chen and Second Madam Chen immediately started cursing at Xiao Yanxi.

"You ungrateful ungrateful bastard!"

"My daughter should have strangled you to death. How can you be worthy of my daughter's spirit in heaven by treating my Chen family like this?"

The county magistrate's expression turned cold: "Since the husband says he is right and the wife says she is right, then the only option left is to use torture!"

Mr. Chen crawled to Xiao Yanxi's feet and wanted to ask Xiao Yanxi for help, but before he could open his mouth, Xiao Yanxi had already retreated into the crowd.

There was nothing Mr. Chen didn't understand. He gritted his teeth, slammed his fist on the ground, raised his hand and pointed it at Xiao Yanxi viciously: "Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go. I also want to ask my good sister why she raised a bastard like you who repays kindness with enmity!"

Mr. Chen was dragged and then pressed onto a bench and tied up to be beaten with a stick. The people in the yamen hit him particularly hard. Mr. Chen screamed like a ghost, and everyone who heard it felt distressed.

The county magistrate drank his tea slowly, his eyes wandering over Xiao Yanxi and Xie Fanjin from time to time.

The reason why he showed his goodwill to Xiao Yanxi was that he really wanted to find out Xiao Yanxi's background, but he also expected that Xiao Yanxi would refuse.

Therefore, his goal was to make the Chen family completely turn against Xiao Yanxi, and now this goal is about to be achieved.

The county magistrate and Wang Tiezhu looked at each other, as if communicating something with their eyes, but soon their eyes shifted away.

Xiao Yanxi kept an eye on every move of the county magistrate and Wang Tiezhu. In fact, he could take advantage of the situation and be won over by the county magistrate on the surface, while saving the Chen family at the same time.

But why did he want to save the Chen family?

After saving the Chen family, will they bite back at the critical moment?

Xiao Yanxi had long seen through the true colors of the Chen family, and he had long wanted to completely sever ties with the Chen family.

"I said... stop hitting me... I said..."

Mr. Chen Er really couldn't stand the beating. Even if Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen Er were about to cry to death and asked him to endure it, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Rather than being beaten to death, it is better to die early and be reborn early.

Old Master Chen's figure swayed, he swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, and looked at Xiao Yanxi with cold eyes.

The yamen runner who was beating Mr. Chen with a stick glanced at the county magistrate. The county magistrate gave him a look. The yamen runner gritted his teeth and hit Mr. Chen with a stick, knocking him unconscious.

The Chen family burst into tears again.

The county magistrate slowly stood up and said, "Since he's unconscious, let's wait until he wakes up and then we can proceed with the trial. Court is adjourned!"

Mr. Chen's crime has not yet been determined. Whether it will be exile or something else, we have to wait until the case is over.

So the exiled group had to wait, and all of them were taken to the backyard of the yamen by the officials.

Xie Fanjin chose a cool place and started to catch up on his sleep, while the others also sat under the eaves.

A runner from the yamen passed by, and the voices of two people reached everyone's ears.

"Hey, have you heard? The Qian family was raided!"
