The dark clouds yesterday have dispersed, and today the sky is clear blue.
The salty and sweet sea breeze blew through the town, blowing the fine hair on Rong Chaoxi's forehead into all directions.
"Hurry up!" Haixing stood at the door, asking people and urging the people inside.
"The young master hasn't returned home all night. If something happens to him, can you afford it?"
There are all kinds of seafood snacks and small objects made of shells on the streets, which are dazzling and make people unable to take their eyes off.
Hearing Haixing's urging, the group remained unmoved and waited for Rong Chaoxi to bargain with others.
"It's too expensive. There are so many in the sea, why are you selling it so expensive?" The little guy was not convinced.
She accidentally stepped on a string of shell wind chimes and broke it. The merchant demanded compensation and started with five taels of silver.
Five taels of silver is enough for her to eat a lot of pig's trotters! He is just robbing!
"You little girl, you want to default on your debt at such a young age?" the shopkeeper said with disdain.
"You guys look so well dressed, but I didn't expect you were just a bunch of poor bastards!"
"Pay the money now, or you won't be able to leave this room!"
The shop owner waved his hand and several thugs rushed out and surrounded the door.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Starfish shouted when he saw what was happening inside.
"Why is it so troublesome to buy something?"
She pushed aside the people blocking the door and questioned them with her hands on her hips.
Even though she is a woman, she is very strong. With this push, four or five strong men fell to the ground with their legs spread out.
"You, you, you..." the shopkeeper pointed at Hai Xing and yelled, "You broke my things and not only didn't you pay for it, you even hit me..."
"I want to report to the police!"
In the yamen.
There was a row of people standing neatly in the middle of the lobby.
The county magistrate walked out and sat down amid the shouts of "mighty" from the yamen runners.
His eyes swept over the people in the hall.
They are all dressed gorgeously, looking very wealthy and oppressive.
The young man on the far right looks frail, but his eyes are somewhat sinister, as if he has a lot of mental and physical tricks.
The woman who placed her hand on the hilt of the sword exuded a fierce and intimidating aura.
It seems like both of them killed a lot of people.
Next is the guy with a half-smile and a black cloud over his head, looking very ominous.
The girl on the left, with her arms folded and wearing foreign clothing, exudes a chill all over her body. She is obviously on the verge of exploding, and it seems that she can knock down the county government office with a single palm in the next second.
The good-looking boy next to him looked gentle and refined, but he had a somewhat impatient expression and seemed like someone who was not easy to mess with.
That blind man over there...
The magistrate swallowed and fixed his eyes on the little kid who was the easiest to mess with.
"Who is this person in the hall?"
The gavel struck, and the lawyer beside him roared:
"How dare you! You don't kneel before the county magistrate! Kneel down!"
Several people looked over at the same time, and the lawyer suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
How do you feel like you're in trouble?
"Sir, please help me!" the shopkeeper cried out, "They smashed things in my shop and refused to pay compensation, and they even beat up my employees..."
The shopkeeper cried and complained, and the county magistrate asked, "You are not a poor family, why do you refuse to pay and beat people?"
"I'm not refusing to pay, he's trying to scam me!" Rong Chaoxi crossed his arms and snorted.
In the store, Rong Chaoxi was concentrating on picking things. A string of wind chimes appeared under her feet and she stepped on them without noticing. She was willing to compensate, but the store owner asked for a sky-high price.
Can this spoil him? Of course not!
But even after explaining the whole cause and effect, the county magistrate seemed not to have heard it, and insisted that it was their fault and ordered them to pay triple compensation.
Chen Ji noticed the exchange of glances between the shopkeeper and the county magistrate, and immediately understood that officials and the people were interacting with each other!
No wonder so few locals go into that shop. It turns out it’s a black shop owned by the government.
This is outrageous! In Dongwu, officials and thieves are actually one family!
Just as Chen Ji was about to speak, someone passing by the hall called out in confusion, "Chao Xi, Ah Bai..."
The two turned their heads upon hearing the sound.
"Cousin?"
"Little cousin."
The county magistrate's heart skipped a beat. He knew Gu Lin's background very well!
The magistrate of Lihe County abused his power for personal gain and joined forces with the wealthy families in the city to oppress the common people. This time, he even directly oppressed Princess Chaoyang.
Suddenly, the positions were reversed, Rong Chaoxi sat on the county magistrate's seat, and the county magistrate and the unscrupulous shop owner knelt together in the hall, awaiting interrogation.
When many people heard about it, they came to the county government office to watch the excitement.
"It's truly heartening! They've caused such chaos in Lihe County, and now they're finally getting their comeuppance!"
"Who is trying the case? Why can't I see the official?"
"She's sitting there. I heard it's a little princess. They're in big trouble this time..."
At this moment, their little princess was too short, so only her eyes were exposed.
However, there were pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, which completely blocked the little guy's view.
"Second brother, I can't see you day and night." The little guy snorted and wanted to lower the table.
"Don't get involved in the trial. Let your cousin do it."
Rong Yubai picked up the little guy and Gu Lin sat on him.
After the imperial examination, documents were sent down from above, and all the successful candidates from each city were sent back to their registered places to work and gain experience.
Gu Lin could have stayed in Kyoto City, but his parents couldn't let go of the business in Bingdong City, so he came back with his parents.
Now I work in the government office in the city. This time I came back to Lihe County for a case and to visit my parents.
Gu Lin had also heard about the matter between the county magistrate and the black shop, and had been investigating the people's sentiments and looking for clues recently.
Now that they have bullied Princess Chaoyang, they are courting death. There is no need to look for clues, just sentence them according to the law.
After finishing the work at the county government office, Gu Lin took the group to his home.
When Gu's parents heard that their two grandsons had arrived, they hurried out to greet them.
"Uncle, aunt..." Rong Chaoxi flew over like a little bird as soon as he saw people.
"Hey, my little Chaoxi." The two were extremely happy when they saw Chaoxi.
After the introduction, it happened to be lunch time. The Gu family prepared a large table of dishes. The family was having a great time and chatting happily.
There was only one person whose head was almost smoking!
"What the hell are you doing?" Hai Xing was furious. "We came out to look for Hai Yan. What have you been doing this morning???"
She was so angry that she jumped around twice on the spot and trampled on several flowers.
Everyone: ...
"Why didn't he come back on his own? Why did we have to look for him?"
"Is he a child? He knows to go home every day, but he doesn't know how to go home?"
Rong Chaoxi asked a sincere question.
Everyone: ...
Only Hai Yan can answer this question.
At this moment, Hai Yan, who was still waiting for his wife, cried out, "A-choo, A-choo, A-choo..."
He sniffed, feeling infinitely melancholy.
"I feel like... Chaoxi has really forgotten me..."
"Didn't we agree to wait for her on the shore?"
