The County Magistrate was Furious
Chapter 1052 The County Magistrate was Furious
Everyone was too afraid of going to jail, so they surrounded Peng Su, admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy.
Surrounded by so many people, Mrs. Peng Su still held her son's hand, stood straight, and showed no fear at all.
After a while, she said, "Our boss said that those who confess will be treated leniently. As long as you confess everything, I will ask the government to punish you leniently."
"But!" Peng Su raised her voice several notches, silencing the excited voices of the villagers before speaking something she had been suppressing for years: "After this incident, I hope the villagers can understand that although I am a widow, I am a human being and would not engage in such a thing as breeding animals!"
"After a widow loses her husband, she can only live with her children and her deceased husband... So I, Peng Su, ask you all not to treat widows like animals and force them to mate. Is that okay?"
"Let's all live like human beings, okay?"
"Just think of it as setting a good example for the children, so they don't follow your example and become breeding animals when they grow up."
No one dared to respond to what Peng Su said, and no one could respond. Everyone just lowered their heads and didn't look at her, pretending not to hear.
Peng Su smiled, took Peng Jianxin by the hand, and came to the old student Fan. "Old student, I leave this lawsuit to you. I will not get involved. I will stay at the mountain girl's house for one night, and tomorrow I will take Xin Ge'er back to the herbal medicine workshop to celebrate the New Year."
This time, Mr. Fan didn't stop him and agreed: "Okay, it's really not good for you to get involved in this mess again. Take Xin Ge'er to the herbal medicine shop to celebrate the New Year. It's cleaner there than here."
He sighed again, "I shouldn't have let you come back."
Mrs. Peng Su said, "This is my home. How can I not come back? Besides, this disaster cannot be avoided. The sooner I experience it, the better."
Shouldn't come back?
This trip back was totally worth it!
Old Student Fan squatted down again, touched Peng Jianxin's face, and said with a smile: "Oh, your cheeks are getting fleshier. The Qin family is indeed a kind family... Xin'er, study hard and learn skills well. In the future, you will pass the imperial examination and become an official. When you become an official, the evildoers will not dare to bully your mother."
"Yes, I will keep your teachings in mind and cherish the opportunity to study hard." Peng Jianxin bowed to Mr. Fan.
After the ceremony, he smiled again and took out a piece of candy from the small bag on his waist: "It's yellow peel fruit candy, a New Year gift from Lingnan to the host family. Brother Xiaomai brought it to us. My mother and I each ate a piece. This piece is for you. You must try it. We don't have it here."
"You kid..." Old Student Fan choked up and sighed secretly. Peng Jianxin was an incredible kid. He was good at scheming at such a young age.
But with the child in this situation, what's wrong with being a little scheming?
Moreover, the child had no intention of harming others. He was just telling him that he would be grateful when he becomes successful in the future.
"Hey, I'll try it right away." Fan Laotong ate the yellow peel fructose candy and was stunned as soon as he took a bite. After a moment, he smiled and said, "It's really something we don't have here. The taste is amazing."
When the villagers saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief... Peng Jianxin had not become alienated from their Hutou Town. If he had a promising future, he would definitely not retaliate against them. Great!
Old Student Fan then said to Mrs. Peng Su, "Xin'er will definitely be more successful than his father in the future."
This child is extremely smart. As long as he studies hard and takes the protection of the Qin family, it is only a matter of time before he gets into high school.
He waved his hand again and said, "Just go with the mountain girl's home. Don't bother with this nonsense."
"Well, thank you so much." After bowing and thanking her, Peng Su went back to Shan's house with Ye Xifen, Xiao Baiying and Shan Xinye.
"Ye Zi!" Shan Xin Ye's mother called her.
"Mom, you're here to pick me up!" Shan Xinye ran towards her mother carrying a bag of New Year gifts.
"Okay, let's go home quickly, we'll talk when we get home." Shan Xinye's mother then called to Peng Su's mother and son, "Shuping's wife, Xin'er, come on, let's go to my house... It's good that you're safe, it's good that you're safe, it was really too scary." A group of people rushed out to strip people of their clothes, they were more vicious than bandits, and Shan Xinye's mother was very frightened.
So, after Ye Xifen drove them away, Shan Xinye's mother couldn't wait to ask Peng Sushi in the car, "Shuping's wife, does Taifeng Town allow people from outside the town to settle down? My family is full of girls, and this custom is too cruel. I'm really scared."
"Mother, what are you afraid of? If anyone comes to bully us, the master will definitely send them to jail!" Shan Xinye was now full of confidence and even more courageous. She patted her chest and said, "I practice martial arts every day at the herbal medicine shop. In two years, I will be able to beat those bastards down without the master's help!"
Mrs. Peng Su also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Shan. After this incident, the morale of our town will change for the better. At least while Clerk Fan is alive, no one will dare to bully widows or families without male heirs."
But Shan Xinye's mother was still afraid: "I hope so."
"Mother, let's not talk about these trivial matters, let's talk about something cheerful... Ta-da! Look, my wages and bonuses, a whole tael and eight mace of silver! The advance on wages has also been paid off, our family can have a good New Year!"
"Oh, hide it quickly, don't lose it." Shan Xinye's mother was nervous, but very happy in her heart.
After arriving home, this joy extended to Shan Xinye's younger sisters.
That night, the Shanxin Ye family was filled with laughter and joy, unlike previous years when the atmosphere was still filled with melancholy even though the New Year was approaching.
After a lively dinner, Xiao Baiying visited Shan Xinye's mother and said with a smile, "She's recovering well, but she needs to continue taking medicine and eat more full meals. Maybe she'll be able to go back to the fields to do farm work next spring."
"Really, thank you, Doctor Xiao!" The girls of the Shan family were very happy and thanked Xiao Baiying.
……
Peng Su and his son stayed at Shanxian Ye's house for one night, and drove away at 9:00 the next day... When they passed the town, they stayed for half an hour to inquire about what happened last night before heading to Taifeng Town.
Peng Su and his son first went to see the boss Qin Xiaomi and submitted an application to stay in the herbal medicine shop during the New Year.
Qin Xiaomi approved it and said, "Be careful when using fire, otherwise there will be a fire. You two will be fully responsible."
"Yes, boss, don't worry, we will pay attention to it." The mother and son agreed solemnly.
Mrs. Peng Su then informed Qin Xiaomi of the outcome of the Peng and Zhang families' disturbance. "Old Master Fan is determined to rectify the atmosphere in Hutou Town this time. He ignored Mrs. Peng's cries of injustice and simply silenced her. He then sent his men to escort the individuals involved from both the Peng and Zhang families to the county government office that very night."
Qin Xiaomi sighed, "The cell is really going to be full now."
Hahaha, Aunt Qin and Jiang Xiaozhu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Peng Su and his mother were infected by them and laughed as well, saying, "I'm afraid Officer Peng's job will be dismissed this time."
Jiang Xiaozhu snorted coldly, "He deserves it! How many families have suffered when such a wicked man is serving as an official? Our county magistrate is too... merciful. He should have dismissed him last time."
Qin Xiaomi smiled and glanced at her.
Jiang Xiaozhu grinned at her... Well, she was just about to say that the county magistrate was too eager to save trouble and was always unwilling to remove the officials from the prominent families in the countryside, which allowed the evil officials to run rampant.
But she stopped herself and didn't curse.
However, the New Year was approaching, and Mr. Fan threw them all to the county government office. The county magistrate must have been furious.
County Magistrate Kang was indeed furious, but he could not jump up and down and curse, so he could only order all the people involved in the case to be beaten without saying anything.
