Chapter 521 The New County Magistrate Arrives
The village has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and they are respected by their relatives and friends. They haven't encountered such rogues for a long time, so why are they secretly excited?
An old man waved his hand and said to the crowd: "There is a lot of work to do in the village, just go and do what you need to do. Let us old guys watch over them, and they won't dare to do anything!
Wait until the officials arrive before you come over."
Shen Ying nodded and asked everyone to retreat first, while he would come over to take a look from time to time.
We rode as fast as we could from Shenjiazhuang to the county town to report to the authorities, but it would take until the next day for the officials to arrive.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Mo Dali frowned and looked at Mo Laotian lying on the ground, "Dad, go back first, and we'll talk tomorrow."
Without even opening his eyes, Mo Laotian said, "If you want to go back, go back. I'm not going to leave!"
If they go back now, they may not even be able to get close to the entrance of Shenjiazhuang village tomorrow.
He no longer has any hope. If he cannot help his daughter take care of her later years this time, he doesn't want to live anymore.
Mo Dali was so angry that he looked at Mo Chunxiang angrily, "Dad is making such a fuss because of you, why don't you try to persuade him?"
Mo Chunxiang didn't move, her eyes were deep, and she had no intention of paying any attention to Mo Dali at all.
Her attitude made Mo Dali extremely angry, "Mo Chunxiang! Do you still have any conscience? If Dad gets into trouble because of you, I will make sure you are buried with Dad!"
"Boss, I did this voluntarily, don't blame your sister! Dad doesn't have much time to live at his age, but your sister still has a long way to go. If you don't take care of her, someone will have to!" Mo Laotian burst into tears.
One wrong step leads to all wrong steps. Now he doesn't know where he started to go wrong, and he can only go down this path until the end.
Because of Mo Laotian's stubbornness, Mo Dali was helpless and had to stay up all night with him, feeling hungry.
When I was still dazed, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the villager who had gone to report to the police had returned, followed by two officers, one of whom was Captain Li.
The man ignored Mo Dali and walked straight towards the villagers who were following him at the entrance of the village. "Grandpa and grandma, I have reported to the authorities. The new county magistrate and county chancellor are expected to arrive soon. They have registered with the county government. Captain Li will bring them back to the county government. The court will open when the county magistrate arrives."
Captain Li nodded to everyone and said, "Don't worry, we are here, those scoundrels won't be able to blackmail you."
Mo Laotian listened to them quietly, his heart slowly sinking.
Captain Li greeted everyone and said sternly to Mo Laotian and the other two: "Do you want to leave on your own or do I ask you to leave?"
Before Mo Laotian could speak, Mo Dali had already dragged him up, smiling apologetically, "Sir, we'll go on our own!"
Mo Laotian struggled hard, "Why should we be the only ones to leave? My granddaughter is still in Shenjiazhuang!"
"Your granddaughter? Who is your granddaughter?" Captain Li sneered. "Mo Laotian, you should know that according to the laws of Langya Country, abandoning a child will result in imprisonment! Unless you can prove that this matter has nothing to do with you! As I said, both human and material evidence are indispensable. If you cannot prove your innocence, Shen Dalang can sue you for abandonment.
After all, when Shen Xi was abandoned in Shenjia Village, the case was reported to the county government. The county government has a criminal record, and the other party adopted the child with a clear path in the county government. In terms of emotion and reason, Shen Xi has nothing to do with you!"
Mo Laotian was so angry that his chest heaved violently, his eyes became more and more paranoid, and he struggled with all his strength but refused to leave, yelling, "If Shen Dalang doesn't return my granddaughter to my daughter, I will die here today, and no one can force me!"
Captain Li's face turned pale, and just as he was about to take action, a group of people came over here.
Everyone stretched their necks to look, and saw a few officers in front of the team, some of whom were familiar faces.
Several yamen runners made faces at Captain Li.
Captain Li was startled, and after understanding, he hurried forward to salute, "I greet the county magistrate and the county magistrate!"
The servant lifted the curtain of the carriage, and two handsome young men came down one after another.
Captain Li was inevitably surprised and took another look at the carriage behind.
Who is inside?
Su Yongzhang walked forward and looked at Mo Laotian and the others expressionlessly, "Captain Li, are they the ones who want to steal someone else's child?"
The Mo family was convicted in just one sentence.
Mo Dali was shocked and quickly knelt down to explain himself, explaining the cause of the incident clearly, not daring to hide anything, "Sir, my father just wants to take the child back, not to snatch the child from the Shen family."
Su Yongzhang laughed angrily, "What's the difference?"
Mo Dali choked and said weakly, "Sir, my sister doesn't even have a child now. Recognizing my daughter will give her something to think about. If she still wants to stay in Shenjia Village, we have no objection. We just hope that we can visit each other more often in the future."
In fact, Mo Laotian's intention was to take Shen Xi back, but after seeing Su Yongzhang's attitude, Mo Dali did not dare to push his luck and could only settle for the next best thing.
Captain Li said angrily: "Sir, Shen Dalang intends to sue them for abandoning Shen Xi. If the investigation proves it is true, these three people will be sent to prison!"
"Then let's go find Shen Dalang and his family as well!" Su Yong acted a little nonchalant.
Captain Li hurried to do it.
"No, no, that's none of my business! It was my mother-in-law who threw the child away. It has nothing to do with me! I am innocent!"
Mo Chunxiang, who had been silent all this time, could no longer sit still and started to play the victim. Tears fell down her face, and her pitiful appearance really fooled many people who did not know the truth.
Su Yongzhang looked back at Xiong Feng who was standing in his shadow, but saw a look of disgust and disdain on his face, and felt somewhat sympathetic towards him.
Xiong Feng lowered his eyelids, and when he opened them again, there was no other emotion on his face.
Wait for Shen Quezi and his group to arrive.
He nodded to Su Yongzhang, who got on the carriage on his own accord. "I have to go back to Dongmen Village. I'll leave the matters here to the county magistrate."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then all their attention fell on Xiong Feng.
Mo Chunxiang felt that the county magistrate in front of her seemed familiar, but she didn't think much about it and continued to make up stories to create a miserable character for herself.
Chen Quezi was so angry that he argued with her, but he was a grown man with a poor tongue, and Mrs. Zhang was always kind and not good at arguing, so he could not win the argument against the eloquent Mo Chunxiang.
Just when they were about to jump up in anger.
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and Niu, a woman wearing pearls and jade, came down with the help of a maid, in front of the shocked gazes of the three members of the Mo family.
Niu strode up to Mo Chunxiang and slapped her twice, "Bitch! I've tolerated you for a long time! Today we're going to settle all the old and new scores together!"
Niu's ferocious appearance shocked all the villagers and yamen runners, and even Shen Quezi's family of three looked confused and puzzled.
What's going on? Why is this rich old lady in front of me so arrogant and domineering, hitting people right away!
You know what, these two slaps made them feel better.
Mo Chunxiang went from being stunned to being surprised and then to being angry. She gnashed her teeth and rushed towards Niu, "Okay, Xiong Kai really gave you all his money! Hand over the silver! Don't even think about keeping it all to yourself!"
