One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
"Why is Jiang Yan here?" Xu Ning suddenly became alert. She suddenly felt that the bad premonition was because of Jiang Yan's appearance.
"Hello player, the time when you and the target person officially met has appeared."
"Bah! Is that him or me who's in front of me...?" Were we officially acquainted? Xu Ning gritted his teeth. The treasure box made two hissing sounds as if the signal was bad, and then fell completely silent.
Xu Ning took the initiative to cut off contact with the treasure chest and watched angrily as the bailiff beat Fang Wenshan with a stick.
"Tsk tsk, this county magistrate is seeking revenge."
"Who?" Xu Ning suddenly heard a cold voice in his ear. He looked up and saw a street urchin who came from nowhere looking at the county magistrate with disdain.
"Who are you, brave man?"
"Oh, there's a little dwarf here." Xu Ning narrowed his eyes and instantly felt that this street urchin was very annoying.
"Hey, are you still angry? I didn't realize that you are not tall but have such a bad temper." Xu Ning's face darkened and he stepped directly on the shoes of this street urchin.
I’ll crush you sword-dealing $¥@¥』.
"Hiss, little girl, haven't you eaten yet?" The street urchin looked like he was tickling her, and Xu Ning's teeth started to itch again.
After Xu Ning cursed silently...he couldn't bear it anymore. Originally he just wanted to hurt this idiot mentally, but now he was going to hurt him physically!
Fang Wenshan's howls became quieter as the board hit him further back, and suddenly a scream was heard from the audience.
For a moment, except Fang Wenshan who couldn't turn his head, everyone else looked at the person who made the sound.
Qi Canglan was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at the culprit Xu Ning, "You! You!" After saying "you" for a long time, Qi Canglan wanted to teach this damn girl who didn't play by the rules and actually pulled out his leg hair a lesson!
But he couldn't say it out loud, and the condemnation in the county magistrate's eyes when he looked at him made him even more unhappy.
Fang Wenshan had finished being beaten with the stick and was half dead. He lay on the ground like a dead dog.
Unfortunately, he had a wife who "did not know the seriousness of the matter". Fang Chen pounced on her, and Fang Wenshan, who had half his life left, lost half of his life again.
"Okay, let's continue the court session. Anyone who disturbs the court again will be beaten with a stick!" Qi Canglan knew that these words were directed at him as soon as he heard them. After hearing this, he rolled his eyes to the back of his head.
Tsk, a guy who values women over friends.
Xu Ning had avenged himself and was in a very good mood. He didn't notice the quarrel between the street urchin and the county magistrate behind him.
The county magistrate did not bother with Qi Canglan. After all, he had just spoken well of Pei Jiao, and Pei Jiao was indeed an official of the imperial court.
Pei Jiao is the daughter of a general and has actually been on the battlefield. She once disguised herself as a man and single-handedly conquered a stronghold, and was promoted to deputy general based on her real achievements.
Pei Jiao was only thirteen years old at that time.
But he was not wrong. The county magistrate was indeed taking revenge for his personal grudge, but he had the right to do so, so why not?
Fang Chen realized that she and Fang Wenshan had offended someone they shouldn't have, so she just cried and said nothing. The county magistrate couldn't do anything about them, and the case had to be delayed for further trial.
As soon as Pei Chen came back, Xu Ning complained to him immediately, but after looking around, she found that Qi Canglan had disappeared.
Xu Ning was speechless and was about to go back when the young county magistrate called them back.
"Little girl, where is Jiaojiao?"
"What?" Xu Ning was stunned when he met Qi Songbo's excited eyes.
