Min Yueqing was helpless. The little one was so young, and she was his only family member, so it was understandable that he was a bit dependent on her. She compromised, "He can come with me, but he has to be good and not leave my side, understand?"

Pei Ji understood the implication in Min Yueqing's words and immediately nodded at her.

Min Yueqing put the little baby on the ground and stretched out a hand to him. Pei Ji immediately put his little hand in and held Min Yueqing's hand tightly.

Min Yueqing looked up and realized that Amei and the other two were standing beside her, both with the same "Don't even think about leaving me again" expression on their faces.

Min Yueqing: ......

Okay, I've already brought one, so I don't mind bringing a few more.

When Shi Tou, Lai Fu, and the others saw that Min Yueqing was about to go inside, they followed her. Min Yueqing had something to ask them to do, so she said to the people behind her, "Bring the people in that carriage down and take them inside with you."

Lai Fu immediately responded loudly and led his men toward the unfamiliar carriage next to them.

As soon as the carriage curtain was pulled open, the first thing that caught the eye was a dirty rolled-up blanket. Lai Fu suspiciously pulled back a corner of the blanket to take a look, and found a person wrapped inside. Just as he was wondering what was going on, Shi Tou pointed at the rolled-up blanket and angrily said, "This is the bastard who disrespected the lady!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Fu and the others were alarmed. The two men immediately worked together to lift the rolled-up blanket out. They were about to throw it directly to the ground, but then they were afraid that the bastard would die from the fall, which would be too good for him.

The two men reluctantly lifted the rolled-up blanket off the bus and placed it heavily on the ground, but they were still furious, so they kicked it twice each to vent their anger.

The others were all yamen runners who had been to the inn before, and Lai Fu and the others recognized them. However, they were quite puzzled to see that the yamen runners were like different people, all drowsy and unable to walk even after being helped up.

Min Yueqing led this rather strange long queue into the gate of the county government office.

The county government office was located in the center of Tongcheng, and the street outside the gate was wide, with many people nearby. Seeing this unusual scene, they couldn't help but discuss it among themselves.

And then there are those who, with keen senses, have already sniffed out what's about to happen and are running back to call their friends to come and see what's going on.

Min Yueqing would never have imagined that before she even started, a large number of onlookers from Tongcheng were already rushing over with their little stools.

Their large group rushed into the yamen, immediately attracting the attention of the yamen runners.

As luck would have it, the tall constable on duty today happened to be the one who had been to the inn yesterday. He was also surprised to see Min Yueqing when he ran out. When he saw the several colleagues being supported behind Min Yueqing, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

The county magistrate was always lazy and didn't come to the county office every day. After returning yesterday, he learned that the county magistrate was not there. He was worried that he could not directly present this matter to the county magistrate and ask for his instructions. He was thinking of finding an opportunity to report it today.

Just then, he saw Lao Wu and the others being carried over. Even if he tried to think of things in a positive light, he couldn't find a reason to convince himself that Lao Wu had nothing to do with this.

Upon seeing him, Min Yueqing said directly, "I'm going to sue Feng Ruichuan and these constables. Where is your Magistrate Sun?"

Upon hearing this, the tall yamen runner almost knelt down before the young lady in front of him. Not only was she going to sue the county magistrate's own nephew, but she was also going to sue the yamen runners. This was truly a strange story in Tongcheng.

His expression was blank, and he said numbly, "The county magistrate is not here, and you can't just talk about it. Have you written down your complaint?"

Min Yueqing really didn't know there was such a custom.

Amo whispered a reminder from the side: "Miss, there are usually people in the yamen who specialize in writing legal documents."

Min Yueqing immediately said, "Then let the person who wrote the petition come out. We'll pay for it; we'll definitely not treat him unfairly."

The tall yamen runner was unaware that they actually knew the ins and outs of the business. There were indeed such people and such precedents in the yamen. He couldn't deny it in public, so he had no choice but to take them to the clerk's office.

Min Yueqing then said to the clerk, "Please help us write a petition stating that Feng Ruichuan disrespected the wife of an official appointed by the court, showed contempt for the Cheng'an Marquis's mansion, forcibly took a respectable woman as a concubine, and bullied and abused innocent people."

"Furthermore, I want to accuse your four constables of deceiving the families of high-ranking officials under the guise of government authority, and of colluding with the Feng family to accept bribes."

Min Yueqing's guess about accepting bribes was pretty accurate; without real money, these government officials wouldn't be so subservient to the Feng family.

As for displaying the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion, it was to provoke the legendary Magistrate Sun to show himself as soon as possible.

The poor clerk suddenly found herself facing such a powerful figure, who was already unsettling enough as to be the wife of an official and a member of the Cheng'an Earl's family, but now she actually wanted to sue the county magistrate's own nephew!

The clerk was on the verge of tears, wanting to faint immediately, but he lacked the acting skills. Under the watchful eyes of this noble lady, he dared not move, let alone perform such a difficult feat as fainting for no reason.

The clerk glanced at the tall constable, trembling, hoping he could save him. The tall constable, having heard about the noble lady's background, was so afraid that he himself was in danger that he was sweating profusely. He had no time to care about the clerk.

Seeing that no one dared to look at him, the poor clerk had no choice but to pick up the brush tremblingly and write the petition according to Min Yueqing's instructions, his heart pounding with fear.

After finishing writing the document, Min Yueqing took the petition and looked at it. She felt that the basic meaning had been written and the writing style was quite formal. Min Yueqing was quite satisfied and thought to herself that she was indeed a professional in this field. She then gave Amei a wink.

Amei skillfully slipped a silver ingot into the clerk's hand.

The clerk held the silver, unsure whether to be happy or unhappy. His face was almost contorted with embarrassment. He had never held such hot money before, and he could only hope that the county magistrate would not cause him any trouble later.

Min Yueqing said to the tall yamen runner, "Is this alright? We have the complaint and the suspect. Let's start the trial right away. We're in a hurry to get going."

A-Zhu couldn't stand their shirking and delaying, so she said, "Can you even conduct the trial? If you can't, just say so now so we can take them straight back to the capital and send them to Shuntian Prefecture or Dali Temple for trial!"

Upon hearing this, the constables' legs went weak with fear.

Even a maid has such a big mouth; it seems what they said is true. They really do come from an official family, and their family even holds a noble title. Most of these noble families are close to the military; crushing them is as easy as crushing an ant.

Seeing that dragging things out like this was not a solution, the tall yamen runner quickly said with a smile, "Madam, please sit in the side hall for a while, and we will go and invite the magistrate here right away."

Min Yueqing had no intention of making things difficult for them, so she agreed and only urged them to hurry up.
