"Great!"

Ning Chengzhu shouted and stopped Da Niu.

Mu Yangzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly separated Da Niu and Chen Yuping, then said to Da Niu, "Don't rush."

Da Niu bit his lip hard, his eyes bloodshot, and glared fiercely at Chen Yuping: "My sister was killed by Master Lin! My sister never even looked down on Master Lin! He killed my sister, insulted her, and ruined her reputation! I'm not finished with you! You officials are protecting each other! You are not good people!"

"I didn't! Sir! I'm innocent!" Chen Yuping hurriedly said. "If you don't believe me, call Master Lin here and confront him! Da Niu and Er Niu can't produce any evidence at all. I'm handling things according to the evidence and witnesses. Where's the problem?"

"Evidence? You destroyed all the evidence!" Erniu couldn't help but shout. "We clearly found a witness, but he went back on his word the next day. It was you, it was you! You threatened him!"

Chen Yuping frowned: "Do you have any evidence?"

Da Niu and Er Niu exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads in dejection.

"In that case, this case will be retried in three days," Bai Han said calmly. "Li Rufeng will be in charge of the trial."

Hearing the first part of Bai Han's words, Chen Yuping's heart skipped a beat. But when he heard Bai Han's next words, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, saying, "What you say is true, sir. If I have indeed made a mistake, I will take full responsibility!"

Bai Han nodded: "In that case, you should go back first."

After Bai Han waved his hand, Chen Yuping stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Bai Han, and slowly left.

Before leaving, he glanced at the emperor sitting next to him. Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions.

Upon arriving at the yamen, they quickly sent people to investigate.

Bai Han has come, so the identities of the people around him are probably not so simple...

Da Niu and Er Niu looked at Bai Han and the others helplessly. After learning about Bai Han's identity, they didn't know how to interact with him for a moment.

"You two stay in the inn for now. I will definitely take care of this matter for you." As soon as Bai Han finished speaking, Da Niu and Er Niu knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Han.

"Lord Bai, we believe you! We also received kindness from the Bai family back then. If it weren't for the Bai family, my sister would have died fifteen years ago..."

"If it weren't for the Bai family, I would have died at the bottom of the cliff long ago. Thank you..." Erniu kowtowed loudly.

Bai Han had someone help the two up, and only then did he realize that the person he and Bai Haotian had casually saved was right here.

They have saved many people over the years, and indeed they cannot remember them all.

Erniu wiped away his tears and choked out, "We've wanted to repay your kindness all these years, but you're in the capital, so we can't go there. That's why we've set up stone statues of you in the village and worship you every day, wishing you peace and good health."

"Thank you very much." Bai Han smiled happily. "Since we are old friends, you should trust me now. So please stay here and don't worry about anything else."

Da Niu and Er Niu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "It's just that my mother's side..."

"Oh dear!" Bai Tuantuan patted her head. "That old man is still waiting at the stall! I'll ask him to pass on a message to the old lady, saying that you're going to stay in the county town for a few days, what do you think?"

Da Niu and Er Niu quickly expressed their gratitude.

Bai Tuantuan quickly arrived at the stall. After seeing the old man, she explained her purpose: "If you are worried about them, I will take you to see them first."

The old man picked up his basket and nodded quickly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady."

Bai Tuantuan glanced at the table and noticed that the old man hadn't eaten anything. She then had someone pack the food and put it in the old man's basket, saying, "Uncle, take this back for your children to eat."

The old man then did not refuse and followed Bai Tuantuan towards the inn.

Along the way, Bai Tuantuan asked the old man a lot about Dazhou and the village, and she got a better understanding of the situation.

"Grandfather, maternal grandfather, I'll take Uncle back." Bai Tuantuan drove the carriage over, her eyes crinkling with joy. "Perhaps we'll run into Ning Nanxiao."

Everyone naturally agreed, after all, no one needed to worry about Bai Tuantuan, her strength was undeniable!

Along the way, Bai Tuantuan chatted with the old man, who was clearly very happy, saying that he had never ridden in such a fine carriage before.

Half an hour later, they arrived outside the village.

"Ning Nanxiao." Bai Tuantuan had just gotten off the carriage when she saw Ning Nanxiao walking out, and a furtive figure behind him. She frowned immediately, "Who's behind you?"

Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "What?"

After Bai Tuantuan saw clearly, a teasing look appeared on her face: "It seems that you've captured the hearts of quite a few girls in the short time you've been in the village."

Ning Nanxiao glanced at Bai Tuantuan with a puzzled look, and followed her gaze to see the two women blushing and quickly turning around.

But his eyes were secretly glancing at Ning Nanxiao.

Bai Tuantuan suppressed a laugh, told Ning Nanxiao that she had brought the old man back, and then said, "Shall we go and see Da Niu's house?"

Ning Nanxiao responded, and the two accompanied the old man to Da Niu's house.

Da Niu's family lived in the south of the village. Along the way, Bai Tuantuan looked at the not-so-wealthy village and pursed her lips: "Logically speaking, the climate here is suitable, and the grain grown here should be enough to feed a family, and perhaps even have some left over."

"Yes, Chen Yuping's taxes are too heavy, which has crushed many people, causing them to go hungry and cold."

"Corrupt official." Bai Tuantuan rolled her eyes.

Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao with a complicated expression, and finally sighed inwardly without saying anything.

When they arrived at Da Niu's house, the old man saw the old woman sitting at the door and called out, "Da Niu's mother!"

"Damn it!" The old woman stood up quickly, and when she saw Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao, she was slightly taken aback. "Who are these two?"

"Da Niu's mother, Da Niu and his second aunt met some benefactors in the city and will be staying there for a few days. Don't worry."

The old lady's smile vanished. She looked warily at Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao, and asked in a trembling voice, "Has Da Niu gotten into trouble again?"

"Auntie, do you still remember the Bai family in the capital, Bai Haotian?"

"General Bai!" The old woman's eyes lit up. "Young lady, do you know General Bai?"

Bai Tuantuan took out the Bai family jade pendant: "Does Auntie recognize this?"

The old woman looked at the jade pendant excitedly: "I recognize it! I recognize it! This is a jade pendant from the Bai family, I know it! I saw it on the waists of the two Bai lords before! I asked them, and they said it was a jade pendant from the Bai family, young lady, you..."

“I am also a member of the Bai family. The two Bai lords you mentioned are my grandfather and my uncle.”

"So, Auntie, we're not lying. Da Niu and Er Niu recognized my grandfather, and since he wanted to travel around Dazhou, he asked them to be his guides."

"Alright, alright! Let Da Niu and Er Niu follow our benefactor closely. I never expected to run into the Bai family. What a surprise..."

The old woman was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Young lady, wait here, I have some freshly pickled vegetables here, you can take them home and eat them, you..."

The old lady had just turned around when she fainted!

"aunt!"
