Ranchu looked at Song Jinshu in surprise, then said obediently, "Yes! I'll be right there."

"Well... by the way, please ask them about their situation for me. If they are willing to write a complaint, please let me know!"

Having more witnesses will make the story more convincing, and the public will pay more attention to the matter.

Ran Chu instantly understood what Song Jinshu meant. After putting the dishes in the kitchen, he turned around and walked out of the county government office, heading towards Dahua and others.

Song Jinshu thought that this matter could not be delayed, so she had to inconvenience Lu Shen and the others. She had to be thick-skinned and go to discuss things with them.

Under tremendous pressure, Song Jinshu arrived at Lu Ruoyu's door.

She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and knocked on the door.

The two people in the room each had a sour face and looked at each other with disgust, always on guard, but they heard a knock on the door outside.

Lu Ruoyu's heart moved. There were only a few people who could come to his house to see him.

Lu Ruoyu subconsciously walked towards the door and gave Shen Fenghua a warning look before turning around.

then…

"Hiss~ County Magistrate Lu, what happened to your face?"

Outside the door, the moment Lu Ruoyu opened the door, Song Jinshu's smile froze instantly.

His fair and smooth face was covered with bruises and there were cuts at the corners of his mouth!

Tsk tsk tsk…are these two playing so wildly in private?

Song Jinshu's gossipy expression, as if to say 'You are not simple', made Lu Ruoyu's face darken.

He had a hunch that Song Jinshu was thinking about something dirty!

"County Magistrate Lu, who came here?"

Shen Fenghua asked in a pretentious voice, he actually just wanted to disgust Lu Ruoyu.

However, this just confirmed Song Jinshu's guess. It seemed that her previous guesses were all correct!

Alas! Thinking about it carefully, Shen Fenghua was introduced by Lu Ruoyu.

The two must be old acquaintances, and both are in their twenties and have not yet married or had children.

It seems that the two of them are deeply in love...

However, few people in this world can understand this kind of feeling. In order to avoid worldly prejudice, they came together to her poor little county town.

Song Jinshu had already made up a tragic love story for the two of them in his mind!

When she saw Shen Fenghua's face, she was certain of it!

"Ah! County Magistrate Lu, Chief Clerk Shen, I support you! You will definitely be happy!"

Lu Ruoyu: ???

Shen Fenghua: ???

"We don't!" "I don't!"

Lu Ruoyu and Shen Fenghua broke down their defenses and denied it in unison.

They had heard a little about homosexuality, but they never thought that one day they would be suspected of being homosexual!

Song Jinshu had an expression that said, "I understand everything, no explanation needed."

"Alright, alright~ I won't say any more! I came to you to discuss something!"

Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. It is inevitable that she will not be able to think comprehensively alone.

Shen Fenghua snorted angrily and went back to the house first. Lu Ruoyu pursed her lips, wanting to explain something but hesitated.

However, Song Jinshu had already passed him and followed Shen Fenghua into the house.

Only his faint sigh remained.

That's all! From now on, he won't mess around with Shen Fenghua like this again, to avoid being misunderstood by her again!

When he entered the room, Song Jinshu instinctively sat at the top seat.

This was not her first time here, so she was quite familiar with the place.

Shen Fenghua glanced at her lightly, lowered his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After the three of them arrived, Song Jinshu said, "We have already controlled the people from Wujian Village. We have witnesses, and now we need to look at the physical evidence."

"The people who left yesterday haven't returned yet, and I don't know if we can find any strong evidence."

"To avoid further complications, we must resolve this matter quickly! Let me tell you, what's the best way for us to do this?"

Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow: "What else can we discuss about this matter? We have witnesses and evidence, and we can convict according to the law!"

Song Jinshu sighed and said helplessly, "I want to do the same, but the law doesn't punish everyone. Almost everyone in Wujian Village is involved in this incident. If we punish hundreds of people at once...

This has a huge impact. If the higher-ups hold me accountable, will I still have my head?"

Her head was already in danger, and if she made a mistake, she would lose it.

"Sir, I have a plan!"

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Song Jinshu looked at Lu Ruoyu who spoke.

Lu Ruoyu paused for a moment, then continued, "This matter is serious. After all, so many innocent lives have been destroyed. If Your Excellency cannot make a decision, why not push this matter to Shun'an Prefecture?

It's just that you might get a few words from the higher-ups, but it's better than being stuck here."

Song Jinshu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Ruoyu in surprise. How could she forget to learn how to pass the buck?

"Alright! We'll do as you say! But... before we submit the petition, we still need to review the matter. Once we've made enough progress, we'll submit it to the County Magistrate for his decision!"

"Ok!"

……

Another two days passed.

There has been progress on Ranchu's side. Dahua said that she once saw Village Chief Niu hiding a thick notebook.

According to her recollection, every time someone wanted to buy a wife or pawn his wife, he would write down the details involved.

If a family does not want a baby girl, they may abandon her in the mountains or ask someone to sell her, and Village Chief Niu will record it in the book.

One is to preserve evidence to control the villagers, and the other is to settle accounts at the end of the year.

Dahua also revealed one thing, that in fact there are not many baby girls sold from Wujian Village.

After all, in this era, most families favor boys over girls.

A newborn baby girl who hasn't been weaned yet, which family would be willing to spend money to raise her?

Therefore, the final destination of most girls in Wujian Village is the deep pit in the back mountain.

When Song Jinshu heard the news, he couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

She had felt a little better when she heard Ran Chu mention that all the girls in Wujian Village had been sold in recent years.

did not expect…

These beasts really deserve to die!

She suddenly didn't want to let these people go so easily...

On this side, Lu Ruoyu also received the physical evidence handed back by the yamen runner, and he quickly walked towards the county government office.

The two met again at the gate of the county government office, and it seemed that they had become accustomed to this damn tacit understanding.

"Sir, here are the physical evidences sent by Wujian Village. How about you take a look at them first?"

"So fast!"

Song Jinshu was amazed. This speed was like flying an airplane.

She had just heard that Village Chief Niu had recorded something in a booklet, and the next second the booklet was in her hands.

"Does your Excellency know?"

Lu Ruoyu was also surprised. Since he got this booklet, he had never shown it to anyone.

"Yeah! That's what Dahua said!"

Lu Ruoyu understood. Considering that Ran Chu had often run over there in the past few days, he knew what was going on.

"Now that we have both witnesses and evidence, Your Excellency can now proceed to trial!"

They have been waiting for this day for a long time.

The people's discussions became more and more intense day by day, and they even spontaneously gathered at the gate of the county government office to ask her to open the court.
