In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

After a while, a pot-bellied man came out. This man was Mr. Liu.

When Master Liu saw Shen Wenjun in his official uniform, his arrogance immediately disappeared. Instead, he asked Shen Wenjun cautiously, "Who are you, sir? What brings you to my humble abode?"

Shen Wenjun casually introduced himself, "I am Shen Wenjun, the reliable top scholar chosen by His Majesty."

When these words came out, Master Liu's face was suddenly shocked. He had not expected Shen Wenjun to be such a high-ranking official. So he hurriedly flattered him, "I wonder what important matter has brought you here today, Master Shen?"

"Hurry up and bring your wife out to me." Shen Wenjun said without hesitation.

"Sir, this is my family affair. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to get involved in it." Mr. Liu rejected Shen Wenjun's proposal without hesitation.

"How dare you! You don't even listen to what I say?" Shen Wenjun saw that Mr. Liu dared to refute him, so he scolded him harshly.

Seeing that Shen Wenjun was angry, Mr. Liu was frightened. After all, Shen Wenjun was the top scholar of the dynasty and his official authority was still there.

As soon as these words came out, Master Liu's face suddenly turned a little bad. He thought for a while and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Bring that lady up to me."

After a while, Jiang Yiqing appeared. This time, Jiang Yiqing was no longer as dignified and beautiful as Su Zhizhi had seen her yesterday. Her body was covered with bruises and it was obvious that she had just been severely beaten.

Seeing Jiang Yiqing beaten half to death, Su Zhizhi immediately became angry and questioned Master Liu, "Why do you treat her like this? What did she do to you?"

Facing Liu Zhi's questioning, Master Liu spoke confidently and without any guilt, "So what if I hit my wife? There's no law in our dynasty that says a man can't hit his wife. I feed her and drink her every day, and give her everything. So what's wrong with me hitting her a few times when I'm unhappy?"

Mr. Liu refuted Su Zhizhi with confidence.

Su Zhizhi was furious when she heard this. She pointed at Master Liu's nose and said, "Okay, okay, you're really brave. Since you're so fearless, I'll report this to the government office and charge you with 'intentional injury'. I'll see how the county magistrate handles you then."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi went straight to the county government office and beat the drum to report the incident.

"Boom boom boom——"

After a while, the county magistrate came out with the yamen runners.

"mighty--"

"Who is beating the drum in the audience?" The county magistrate sat on the stage and looked at Su Zhizhi who was below.

Su Zhizhi quickly stepped forward to explain, "Your Excellency, it was this humble woman who struck the drum to report the incident."

"Then do you have any grievances you want to tell me?" the county magistrate said straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, I want to sue Liu Wenyi, who lives on South Street. He treats his wife, Jiang Yiqing, harshly. Whenever no one is around, he likes to beat her up, venting all his frustrations on her."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi hurriedly spoke to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate frowned upon hearing this. He waved his hand and signaled the yamen runners beside him, saying, "Go, bring Liu Wenyi and his wife Jiang Yiqing up here."

"Yes, my lord."

The yamen runners were extremely efficient and soon Liu Wenyi and Jiang Yiqing were brought up.

"The common people bow to your Majesty."

"A common woman comes to see your lord."

Liu Wenyi and Jiang Yiqing saluted the county magistrate.

"Tell me, what happened? Did you hit him?" The county magistrate said as he glanced at the injuries on Jiang Yiqing's body.

"Reporting to the lord, it was I who beat him." Liu Wenyi felt that there was no point in pretending any longer, so he simply admitted what he had done.

Seeing that Liu Wenyi had readily admitted his actions, the county magistrate waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Come here, since he has admitted to beating his wife, take him away and lock him up."

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing this, the county magistrate waved his hand and said to Su Zhizhi, "Okay, this matter is resolved."

Su Zhizhi was immediately displeased after hearing this and quickly said, "Sir, if you keep him locked up for a few days like this, he'll still beat his wife when you let him out. What will we do then?"

The county magistrate was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked Su Zhizhi, "Then how do you want to deal with this matter?"

"Of course, let them separate." Su Zhizhi said without hesitation.

"No, this is a matter between them. You and I, as outsiders, have no right to interfere." The county magistrate subconsciously refused upon hearing this.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Zhizhi and Jiang Yiqing's faces immediately turned very ugly, but they were just ordinary people and had no real power in their hands. Even if they were unwilling, they dared not refute the county magistrate.

Because this was someone else's territory and not under Shen Wenjun's jurisdiction, Shen Wenjun did not dare to intervene rashly.

Just like that, Su Zhizhi and Jiang Yiqing left the county government office in despair.

On the road.

Jiang Yiqing looked at Su Zhizhi with horror, "What should we do? Zhizhi, we've sent him to jail this time. If he comes out and holds a grudge against me, I'm sure he'll be beaten even worse."

Thinking of his own fate, his face turned pale with fear.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi could only comfort Jiang Yiqing and said, "It's okay, Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you, don't be afraid."

Seeing Su Zhizhi's promise, Jiang Yiqing suddenly calmed down a little, but thinking of Liu Wenyi's methods, Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but shudder. After what happened today, if Liu Wenyi was released, he would definitely beat her to death, so Jiang Yiqing kept praying in her heart that Su Zhizhi could find a way to make Liu Wenyi separate from her as soon as possible.

After Su Zhizhi sent Jiang Yiqing back to her residence, she also prepared to return to her own home.

Unfortunately, before she left Liu's house, she saw an extremely familiar figure - Liu Wenyi, who was supposed to be imprisoned in prison.

Liu Wenyi looked at Su Zhizhi with a provocative expression and said, "Miss, I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Liu Wenyi warned Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi took a deep breath upon hearing this, then asked Liu Wenyi with a forced smile, "Oh, I wonder what method Mr. Liu used to get out of the government office so quickly."

Liu Wenyi did not hide it from Su Zhizhi and said with great disdain, "I just paid a little more bail. After all, I still have some money on hand."

After saying that, Liu Wenyi showed an extremely provocative smile and then turned and entered the Liu Mansion.

Su Zhizhi felt very angry and powerless when she saw this. Given her current situation, she had no way to rescue Jiang Yiqing.

Shen Wenjun, who had witnessed the entire process, also noticed Su Zhizhi's distress and quickly said, "Zhizhi, don't worry. I will definitely report this to His Majesty and persuade him to change the law to prohibit men from domestic violence against women."

Shen Wenjun promised Su Zhizhi with a serious face.
