"Dayong, I'm really sorry. They need someone urgently over there and I must have disturbed you." When the village chief of Xujia Village saw that it was Xu Da who came out, he was not scared by his expression and pretended to explain.

"Uncle Shuanzi, I thought you were performing opera in my house early in the morning. It's freezing cold and there's no stage. I thought I was seeing things!" Xu Da mocked.

"Hey hey hey! I'm so sorry, we're leaving now!"

Xu Da just stood there watching, when Xu Qianqian suddenly rushed to him and knelt down, "Uncle Dayong, please save me! My dad wants to sell me out!"

"What does it have to do with me? No wonder Uncle Shuanzi wants to sell you out. You deserve to be sold out for such a rebellious act!" Xu Ning, who had been listening attentively in the room, burst out laughing when she heard this. Her father's words were too cruel, but it felt so good to hear!

Xu Qianqian could hardly hold back the crying expression on her face. She wanted to reach out and pull Xu Da's trouser leg, but Xu Da pulled his wife away.

"Don't try to scam me, Uncle Shuanzi. Are you doing this on purpose? Are you planning to sell your daughter to my family? I'm telling you, if that's the case, you'll have to collect the body later."

"Dayong, what are you talking about!?" The village chief of Xujia Village pretended to be angry, but in fact he was trying to cover up the fact that his plan had been seen through.

"Hmph! It'd better not be. We all came here to escape famine, and we know best how much blood we have on our hands." Xu Da snorted coldly.

Seeing that Xu Da and his wife were unmoved, the village chief of Xujia Village whipped out a whip and began to whip Xu Qianqian, causing her to writhe on the ground in pain. Xu Da did not stop him. When the village chief grew tired of beating her, he simply said, "You're done making trouble, so get out of here! You're disturbing us while we're resting," and then he was about to close the door.

Xu Qianqian hated Xu Ning's family and felt that they had no sympathy and did not help her when she was beaten. If she could climb up the social ladder in the future, she would beat them every day until they knelt in front of her and begged for mercy.

"Dayong, Qianqian grew up under your care. You can't just stand by and watch her die. Qianqian is about to be beaten to death by her father. Please save her!" The village chief's wife cried. She really loved her daughter, but unfortunately she was a woman and had no way to help her daughter. She could only ask Xu Da for help. Seeing that Xu Da was indifferent, she felt resentful in her heart.

Seeing that this trick was useless, the village chief of Xujia Village was also angry. He glared at his wife who was protecting Xu Qianqian. The village chief's wife received the signal and immediately changed her tone and cried: "Oh God, please open your eyes. My daughter is about to be beaten to death. Is there no kind-hearted person in this world? Please save my daughter."

Xu Qianqian also made a pretentious sound: "Please help me, sir..."

The Xu family knew everything, and they were planning to attack Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan had guessed it long ago. Jiang Yi was standing by his side, waiting for his instructions.

Xu Da was so angry that he gritted his teeth at the door. The people brought by the village chief of Xujia Village were still trying to stop him from closing the door, and they seemed to be trying to break in.

Jiang Yan finally asked Jiang Yi to go out. When Jiang Yi appeared, everyone present, including Xu Qianqian lying on the ground, fell silent.

It was really scary when Jiang Yi's aura was released, even Zhang held Xu Da's hand tightly.

Xu Da felt his mouth was a little dry. Before he could speak, Jiang Yi gave Xu Da a soothing look and then stood at the door of the Xu family.

The villagers who had originally tried to stop Xu Da from closing the door were frightened by Jiang Yi's aura and retreated to the side. The village chief of Xujia Village felt a little uneasy and tentatively said that he was ready to risk his life for Jiang Yan.

The head of Xujia Village thought that the reason why Xu Ning's family was in their current situation was definitely because they flattered Jiang Yan. Since they could cling to the thigh of a noble man, they might as well show their loyalty.

Jiang Yi sneered. Who do these people think they are? Do they really think they can become a phoenix by saying a few nice words?

You’re dreaming!

The village chief of Xujia Village became even more uneasy when he saw that Jiang didn't speak for a whole day.

Jiang Yi was mainly disgusted, but his master had assigned him to deal with it. If he didn't handle it well, his master would be angry.

Jiang Yi thought for a while and came up with a brilliant idea. He said coldly, "My master has received your sincerity. You will wait at home for a few days. The magistrate of Qin County will come to arrange your place personally."

"My lord, this..."

"What?" Jiang Yi responded with a very cold look, looking at the troublemakers as if they were dead.

The head of Xujia Village could not help swallowing his saliva. Finally, he opened his mouth and said only one sentence: "Take care."

Xu Qianqian was reluctantly dragged back by her mother. After returning, she cried and complained to her father: "Dad, that young master didn't show up, why did we come back?"

"What do you know? Hurry up and apply the medicine to her. Stop crying. If you have promised, you will definitely do it."

On the Xu family's side, Jiang Yi asked Shisan to take his token to find the Qin County Magistrate without Jiang Yan's instructions.

The arrangements that the people in Xujia Village wanted were made for them that very night, without even taking a few days.

They didn't know it yet and were just taking out their best treasures, thinking that they would have to entertain the county magistrate well when he came.

Thirteen rode his horse at full speed and arrived at the Qin County government office before noon that day. Thirteen didn't even need to exaggerate the deeds of the Xujia Village chief and several other unruly people. The Qin County magistrate felt that his official hat was in danger when he saw the token.

After politely seeing Thirteen off, he was so angry that he didn't even eat. He called the militiamen and constables from the county government and drove hurriedly to Xujia Village.

That evening, after Xu Ning's family finished their meal, they happily started playing cards. When the county magistrate learned that Jiang Yan lived there, he quickly ordered people to slow down the carriages for fear of disturbing the people inside.

On the other side, the sharp-eyed villagers had already discovered that the county magistrate had arrived, and there was no need for the county magistrate to send anyone to notify them. They gathered at the home of the village chief of Xujia Village on their own initiative.

The home of the village chief of Xujia Village is at the easternmost end of the village, and is the farthest away from the Xu family. After the county magistrate got off the carriage and looked at the distance, he finally smiled for the only time on the way.

The Xujia Village chief and his companions, who were eagerly waiting at the door, thought the county magistrate was very pleased with them. Er Gouzi even asked the village chief, "Village chief, are we really not called Huzi?"

The head of Xujia Village turned his head and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you yelling? He has been clinging to Xu Laogen for a long time and thinks he has really reached the top in one step. Just wait and see, when I become the master, I will stomp Xu Laogen's face hard on the ground."

After saying that, he immediately put on a flattering expression towards the county magistrate, "Sir, thank you for your hard work. Come in and have a cup of hot tea."

"Yes, yes, our Lord works so hard and cares for the people. It is a blessing for all of us to have you."

The constables and militiamen who followed the county magistrate all the way here: The county magistrate is blessed to have you!

The magistrate of Qin County tried hard to suppress the anger on his face. He suddenly felt that the original plan could be changed, so he followed the instructions of the village chief of Xujia Village and went into the house.
