The academy was already built, and Ma Youcai helped Li Yun find three male and three female teachers. The male teachers were all students and scholars, and they were more than enough to teach the children.

On the day of the academy's enrollment, Li Yun asked Zhong Jun and Manager Cui to enroll students.

Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao worked as temporary teachers in the academy, teaching some addition and multiplication formulas. When Li Yun was free, he would also go over to teach.

Considering that she would be going to the capital soon, she focused on teaching the village chief's grandsons, Jinshan and Tiedan, and asked the three of them to help Dabao and others with their lessons after they left for the capital.

On the day of enrollment, everything went smoothly. Most of the children in Qingshan Village registered. Only a few girls' parents did not allow them to go to school, saying that they had to help with farm work at home.

Li didn't say much about this matter. It was their family affair and she, as an outsider, had no right to interfere. She had done her best by letting her children go to school for free. As for the rest, it was not her business.

Li Yun also provided free education to the children from Niujiao Mountain, Shanling Mountain, and Daqing Mountain. The people of Anqiu County were very grateful to Li Yun.

The villagers of Dongshan Village also sent their children over, but were rejected by Li Yun. They started to make trouble, and were beaten by the secret guards and the escort team and thrown out of Qingshan Village.

Village chief Wu brought the villagers who could afford ten taels of silver and their children to take the exam. Villagers from other villages also brought their children to take the exam. At first, they also wanted to use morality to kidnap Li Yun, but when they saw the villagers of Dongshan Village being punished, they gave up the idea and lined up honestly to take the exam.

After the examination, thirty children were accepted, but they were all boys, which Li Yun could understand.

Tell them to come to class at Chenshi tomorrow, which is seven o'clock in the morning, similar to the time in school in the previous life.

Ma Youcai also came today to congratulate Qingshan Village Academy on its opening. Seeing the villagers and children all with smiles on their faces, he was happy for them. He will go back and write a memorial to the emperor to report on what is happening here. This is also one of his political achievements.

Shangguan Feiyun told Ma Youcai what Village Chief Lin said that day and asked him to deal with it seriously.

Ma Youcai took the constable and went to Dongshan Village to find Village Chief Lin without stopping.

When Ma Youcai came back, he told Shangguan Feiyun that Village Chief Lin had been dismissed from his position as village chief, and asked someone to investigate whether he had committed corruption or accepted bribes during his tenure. He said that there would be results tomorrow, and he also warned the villagers of Dongshan Village so that they would not dare to cause trouble again.

Early the next morning, Dabao and his two siblings and Xiaohua finished their breakfast and went to the academy to study with the schoolbags given to them by Li Yun. This schoolbag was drawn by Li Yun based on the pattern of the schoolbag in his previous life, and he gave it to Ye Shan to ask them to make a large number of them.

Not only Dabao and his two siblings had it, but also the children downstairs, and the grandchildren of the village chief and Aunt Hong.

The children went to school, and An Er and An San also came back.

It turned out that the minister sent by the emperor had also arrived, and An Er and An San had just returned after handing over the work to him.

An Er also said that as soon as the new minister arrived, he examined the evidence and posted the opening notice of the trial of County Magistrate Gao on the same day.

As soon as the notice was posted, many people cheered.

The constable told the people that if anyone had been bullied by County Magistrate Gao, they could come tomorrow to appeal for justice or seek revenge.

The news spread from one person to ten, and from one person to a hundred, and soon all the people in Anqiu County knew about it. The people who had grievances and hatreds had already prepared evidence to seek redress.

On the day of the trial, the Anqiu County Government Office was surrounded by people and the crowd was crowded. Considering the safety issue, the minister discussed with An Er and An San and chose the square outside the county government office as the trial location.

Soon after the people found out, they left and went to the square. The constables and yamen runners asked the people to stand on both sides. Soon, An Er and An San escorted the minister to the square.

The minister sat on the chair and clapped his hands with a piece of wood. Soon the students stopped making noise. The constables also came up with Magistrate Gao, the County Magistrate and others.

"My fellow villagers of Anqiu County, I am the newly appointed Magistrate of Liang County. Today, as long as the trial of Magistrate Gao, the County Secretary and others begins, if any of you have been oppressed by them, you can speak out and I will take care of it for you." Magistrate Liang said to the people of Anqiu County.

As soon as Magistrate Liang finished speaking, someone cried out for justice.

"Sir, seek justice!"

Soon an old man walked out of the crowd and knelt on the ground to cry out for justice.

"Who is kneeling on the ground? What's your grievance? Who are you suing? Tell me one by one." Liang County Magistrate Mu clapped his hands and said to the kneeling old man.

"Sir, I am Niu Junkun, a villager from Xinghua Village. I have a son and a daughter.

A year ago, my daughter followed me to the county town to sell vegetables. Unexpectedly, she was noticed by County Magistrate Gao, who wanted to take her away to be his fifteenth concubine. Both I and I disagreed, so he ordered the constables to beat me half to death. I could not stand up and could only watch my daughter being taken away. That night, my daughter was raped by him. She tried to resist, which angered him. He then ordered the constables to rape her. My daughter could not bear it and was tortured to death by them. Then these beasts threw my daughter into a mass grave.

When I climbed to the back door of the county government office, I saw them dragging my daughter to the mass grave.

I waited until they returned to the county government office before crawling to the mass grave. When I saw my daughter, her whole body was bruised and swollen, and she died with her eyes open.

I beg you to redress my daughter’s wrongdoing.” Niu Junkun said this while crying.

Who said that men don’t shed tears? It’s just that they haven’t been sad yet.

County Magistrate Gao and the constables kneeling on the ground were trembling with fear. The constables hoped that Niu Junkun would not recognize them.

These details did not escape the eyes of County Magistrate Liang. He was transferred from the Dali Temple. His position was Chief Justice and he was also a royalist. This time the emperor sent him here to secretly investigate some evidence against the Prime Minister and County Magistrate Gao.

The people of Anqiu County could never imagine that someone would suffer such torture, and they all called him a serious scum and beast.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Liang County Magistrate Mu Mu clapped his hands and called on everyone to be quiet.

"Niu Junkun, go and see if the constable kneeling on the ground is bullying your daughter." County Magistrate Liang said to Niu Junkun.

Niu Junkun stood up, walked to the constables, looked at each of them carefully, and then pointed at five constables and said to County Magistrate Liang.

"Sir, this, this, this, that, and that, they have all bullied my daughter. Please seek justice for my daughter." Niu Junkun pointed out the constables who participated in raping his daughter one by one.

"What do you guys have to say?" County Magistrate Liang angrily scolded the constable.

"Sir, we know we were wrong. We were forced to do this. County Magistrate Gao asked us to beat someone up, and we dared not disobey! Otherwise, the next person to be killed would be someone from our family.

He wants us to rape a little girl. If we don't do it, our sisters will be killed next. Please have mercy!" In order to avoid being convicted, the detectives put the blame on Magistrate Gao.
