When Liu Lichun saw the person coming, he felt like he had seen a savior. He hurried over and hid behind the person.

Qiao Qian naturally recognized the leader, who was Xu Zhiliang, the head of Xuliu Village.

There was another person following behind him, his elder brother Xu Chong.

"Mr. Lizheng, please save me quickly. Xu Qiao had someone beat me. Look how much pain Zhang Quan is in. It was her who beat him."

Liu Lichun hid behind Xu Zhiliang and pointed at Qiao Xi and accused her.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, curled the corners of her lips, and sneered: Very good, a bad guy comes to complain first.

But who doesn’t know how to complain?

Qiao Xi said, "Mr. Village Chief, you've arrived just in time. May I ask how we deal with people who trespass into private homes?"

Xu Zhiliang came here this time because he heard from the villagers that the officer who led the troops yesterday had entered Xu Yi's house.

As the head of the village, he didn't even know which official had come. If he told others, he would be laughed at, so he wanted to go to Xu Yi's house to find out.

But there was such a big commotion yesterday, but he, the village head, didn't show up. Now that everything is fine, he rushes to talk to the officials, which seems too flattering.

Coincidentally, he heard that Xu Yi was carried back covered in blood, so he thought of taking the opportunity to visit Xu Yi and ask him which official Xu Yi came from. It would be great if he could talk to that official, and maybe he could win the official's favor.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a "case-solving" issue as soon as I arrived, and there was also this Xu Qiao.

She was already troublesome before, and now it seems even more troublesome.

He really didn't want to care, but he was already standing here, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

Xu Zhiliang lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Lichun: "Breaking into a private residence? Are you talking about Lichun girl or Zhang Quan?"

Qiao Xi replied, "Both!" Then she nodded at Xu Chong as a greeting.

Xu Zhiliang frowned and pulled Liu Lichun out from behind him: "Lichun girl, what's going on?"

This girl is not one to be worried about either.

Before she even reached the age of marriage, the whole village knew that she liked Xu Yi. Xu Yi was a scholar with great prospects, so how could he fall in love with a little girl like her? Her family didn't care about it.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiliang frowned even deeper.

Liu Lichun was also a discerning man. Looking at the village head's expression, he knew that he might be unhappy, and guessed that the crime of trespassing into a private residence was probably a serious one.

She bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I just wanted to come and see Brother Yan Zheng. I didn't trespass. Mr. Village Head, you have to make the decision for me!"

She pointed at Qiao Xi and said, "This Xu Qiaoshi didn't let me in to see Brother Yan Zheng, and even let this guy beat me. They must be doing something shameful, otherwise why wouldn't they let me in to see Brother Yan Zheng?"

Thinking that the man was about to attack her, Liu Lichun decided to go all out and drag him into it.

Qiao Qian sneered and ignored Liu Lichun. Instead, she looked at Xu Zhiliang and said, "Mr. Village Head, may I ask if one needs permission to visit someone else's home?"

Xu Zhiliang nodded: "Of course!"

Qiao Xi: "So, if you just barge into someone else's house without knocking or asking for permission, does that count as trespassing?"

"This..." Xu Zhiliang hesitated, then nodded, "Of course it counts. But Xu Qiaoshi, we are all neighbors, so there is no need to be so picky!"

"Nonsence!"

As soon as Xu Zhiliang finished speaking, Xiao Yushan, who was standing next to him, suddenly spat at his feet.

Looking down at the large mouthful of saliva at his feet, Xu Zhiliang frowned with some disgust.

He looked up at the person who spat and was about to scold him, but the other person got there first.

"Oh, this is the first time I, Xiao Yushan, have met a village head, but this time it really opened my eyes. I never thought that an unreasonable person could become a village head. I guess the person who appointed you was blind at the time."

Not to mention that Xiao Yushan was on Qiao Xi's side, just these three people, one broke into someone's house and acted like a hooligan, one was a villain who complained first and slandered others, and the other one actually spoke to someone who broke into a private house. Each of them violated his taboo.

Once I say something, I will be rude, no matter who you are.

After saying this, Xiao Yushan looked at Liu Lichun again, "You little girl, yet you have so many evil intentions. Which eye of yours saw that I had an affair with my apprentice? Also, do your family members know that you are so evil? Or are all your family members like this?"

If that's the case, I'll have to tell my apprentice to stay away from you and your family, to prevent her from being led astray again."

Xiao Yushan lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Quan, who was curled up in pain. "And this dirty guy was so bold as to go to someone else's house and act like a hooligan. If the village head thinks that teaching this hooligan a lesson is a measure of respect, then you are really generous.

Since the village head is so generous, why not bring him back to your home and let him behave like a hooligan to his heart's content?"

Xu Zhiliang had never been treated like this since he became the village head. He felt a little embarrassed and looked at Xiao Yushan and said, "You are not from our Xuliu Village, are you? I am handling village affairs, so outsiders should not butt in. Xu Qiaoshi, don't you agree?"

Qiao Xi was willing to help someone, especially when she saw the village head's face change after being confronted by the military doctor.

Unexpectedly, she was watching happily when her name was suddenly called and she didn't react for a moment.

Xu Zhiliang called her a few times before he lowered his eyes, hiding the smile in his eyes, and said seriously: "Village head, you are wrong. Although this person is not from Xuliu Village, he is a witness and has the right to speak.

Does this mean that when the officials in Lingxiao City try a case, if the witness or the criminal is not from Lingxiao City, they don't have to care?"

Qiao Xi looked at Xu Chong and said, "Brother Xu, I've never seen a city official try a case. Have you? Is it true that if one party isn't from Lingxiao City, the official won't have to try the case?"

Xu Chong came with Xu Zhiliang, and after hearing what was said, he also felt that it was inappropriate. However, before he could say anything, someone else spoke first.

Hearing Qiao Xi's question again, he quickly waved his hand to explain, "Sister Xi, what are you talking about? In any case in Lingxiao City, no matter where you're from, as long as the official asks, you have to tell the truth."

Qiao Xi nodded in sudden realization, "So, Mr. Village Chief, it seems the military doctor was right to interrupt."

Xu Zhiliang originally wanted to keep the village ugly thing private, but he didn't expect that Xu Qiaoshi seemed not to understand the meaning of his words.

He pretended to clear his throat, then turned around and winked at Xu Chong behind him.

But Xu Chong didn't even look at him. He walked straight to Zhang Quan and asked in confusion, "Sister Qian, why is Zhang Quan here? And what happened to him?"

Qiao Qian glanced at Zhang Quan, then looked up at Liu Lichun and raised her chin. "You'll have to ask Sister Lichun about this. They came here together. Sister Lichun, the head of the village is here now. Won't you explain?"
