Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

When Murong Chen arrived at Tangjia Village with a large group of yamen runners, Xiao Yunxi was teaching the children.

After recent teaching, she has confirmed that Niuniu has a talent for mathematics and can understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and even more complex fractions.

Niuniu is already very abnormal, Dabao is even more abnormal,

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, more complex fractions, constraints, powers, and linear equations of two variables can all be understood quickly, as well as Chinese pinyin, physics knowledge, and chemical phenomena.

It is horrifying that children who have never received any modern primary school curriculum can quickly understand and accept this knowledge.

It is said that IQ is inherited from parents, but Tang Huaiming does not look like a smart person, and he strongly doubts whether Dabao is his biological child.

bang bang bang!

"The county magistrate has arrived."

bang bang bang!

"The county magistrate has arrived."

There were drums and gongs outside, and Aunt Li called out to her:

"Come out quickly, the county magistrate is here."

Murong Chen came whenever he wanted, did he really want her to go and greet him?

Soon she was stunned.

Murong Chen was wearing a neat official uniform and looking very showy. He was surrounded by dozens of yamen runners and followed by a dense crowd of common people. The scene was quite grand.

She didn't say hello. This guy was so formal, he definitely wasn't here to eat for free.

"Dear fellow villagers, I am Murong Chen, the magistrate of Luochuan County. I am here today for one thing."

"Ma Bide exploits the villagers, bullies men and women, and seizes their land. If you have any grievances, please register them on the spot. I will bring justice to the villagers!"

The people were not enthusiastic.

The word "official" has two mouths. The upper mouth says one thing and the lower mouth says another. The previous county magistrate also said that he would seek justice for them, but what was the result?

Those who file an appeal will have their families broken up.

Murong Chen knew the concerns of the people and said directly:

"There is a woman in Tangjia Village named Ma Cuilan, the grandmother of the Xiao family. She colluded with Ma Bide to seize the Xiao family's property. This official will openly hear this case today."

"Zhao Hu, the son of a military household in Lujiazhuang, lost his father and four brothers on the battlefield. He is the descendant of a hero. The village chief of Lujiazhuang colluded with the head of the village to embezzle compensation and seize his fertile land. Today, this official is here to hear this case publicly."

"Xiao, Zhao Hu, do you two have anything to say?"

Xiao Yunxi: What else can I say? You, Old Six, are throwing yourself as a brick to lure the people to your side, right?

The county magistrate tried the case publicly, and more and more people gathered in Tangjia Village.

Murong Chen looks good.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, tables, chairs and benches were spread out, and the yamen runners on both sides were holding killing sticks and shouting loudly, it really looked like the real thing.

The trial went smoothly. In both cases, the villagers were witnesses and the physical evidence was clear. No one dared to deny it. The court ordered the return of property, compensation, and apology within two days.

The village chief and the head of the village of Lujiazhuang were detained. Ma Cuilan was rewarded for reporting Ma Bide. As long as compensation was paid and Xiao Yunxi's forgiveness was obtained, she would not be held accountable for the time being.

The people began to waver and consider whether to file a lawsuit.

The military households of Lujiazhuang came to form an alliance and filed a petition, accusing the head of the village and the village chief of Lujiazhuang. With them taking the lead, the people swarmed in and the lawyer was overwhelmed with the number of petitions.

Originally, I wanted to use Xiao Yunxi to take back the family property and redress the grievances of the people, but I didn’t expect there would be so many injustices!

Murong Chen was in an unusually heavy mood.

There are so many unjust and wrong cases in just the small Dongshan Town. How many are there in the entire Luochuan County, the Northwest Territory, and even Daxia?

The news that Murong Chen was seeking justice for the people quickly spread throughout the northwest. He had no idea how much trouble this incident would bring to himself and Tangjia Village.

Fucheng,

The prefectural government office,

"Sir, I don't think it's normal for Murong Chen to show up in Tangjia Village at this time. Should we be prepared?"

"No need. We were not involved, so even if we were involved, nothing would happen. Besides, there are people more anxious than us. We just need to serve the masters from the capital."

"The lord from the capital praised the winter melons and fairy peaches highly and asked us to provide another batch."

"Do as he tells you. Remember to buy according to the rules. Don't rob. Let the Zheng family pay."

"Yes."

Beisheng Pass,

A suppressed roar was heard from the Commander-in-Chief's residence:

"Damn Ma San, I'm going to tear him into pieces!"

"Sir, that man has escaped. What should we do now? He has evidence against us."

"Send people to search the mountain. I want to find the bodies of the dead or alive. Also send people to Tangjia Village. I want to know what Murong Chen is going to do!

"Does your Excellency suspect that Ma Bide has confessed?"

"I suspect it's the Ma brothers who defected to Murong Chen and Murong Hai. The Murong family is close to that guy, and if they have evidence against me, Murong Hai will be able to control the Northwest Border Army..."

"Murong Chen has always been upright and honest. Will he accept the Ma brothers?"

"Controlling the Northwest Army would be a powerful move for that person. How could Murong Chen be willing to give up such a good opportunity? As for his being in the prime of his life, that's all he needs to show the outside world..."

A person with a dark heart sees everyone as dark. In his world, no one can resist temptation, unless the stakes are not high enough.

Murong Chen is a human being and has desires. Who can resist the temptation of controlling the Northwest Army?

Although it is a bit too conspiracy-theory, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. The missing key figure is really in Tangjia Village, and Murong Chen has already seen him.

"Madam Xiao, when will he wake up?"

"You will wake up when your injury heals."

Murong Chen was speechless:

"Can you wake him up temporarily?"

"He woke up once last night, but has been in a coma the rest of the time. This is his body's protection. To wake him up, external stimulation is needed."

"Then you can stimulate yourself."

Xiao Yunxi shook her head:

"I won't."

It’s all in vain to say so much. At the critical moment, Doctor Lu was still the best. He used silver needles to stimulate the acupuncture points and woke the patient up.

"Are you Lord Murong, the cousin of General Murong?"

"it's me."

The man looked carefully.

He had seen Murong Chen from a distance before, and his appearance should be correct, he was somewhat similar to Murong Hai.

"Can you please let everyone else go out?"

Doctor Lu and Zhang Zhongjin were quick but also very careful. They stuffed the silver needle into Xiao Yunxi's hand and ran away.

"If you can't hold on, use the silver needle to prick the acupuncture point just now."

Xiao Yunxi was not stupid. Curiosity killed the cat. She threw the silver needle to Murong Chen, ran out of the house, pretending to run away, but secretly went around to the backyard and squatted at the foot of the wall.

Is there anything wrong with secretly eating a melon?

The sounds in the room were very quiet and intermittent. Xiao Yunxi had good hearing and ate the melon completely.

A little regretful,

She shouldn't be curious. This is really a big deal. The commander of the border troops robbed the military pay and used it to incite the border troops to rebel. Even a TV series wouldn't dare to film it, right?

and also,

The Ma family actually has such a powerful backer. Fortunately, she threw Ma Cuilan out, otherwise the people behind the Ma family would retaliate and she would never have peace.

But then again, who exactly is Murong Chen and the "Zhenbei Hou Shizi" that person mentioned? Is he so powerful? Are the princes afraid of him and dare not confront him face to face?
