With Xu Mo around, the Niu family was rescued in half a day.
Immediately afterwards, Master Niu was summoned.
This time, however, Xu Mo did not immediately interrogate Master Niu, but instead temporarily imprisoned him.
In his lifetime, Zheng Ruqian finally experienced the joy of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Xu Mo temporarily detained Master Niu in jail without trial, ostensibly to search for evidence of Master Niu's hired men, but also partly to vent Zheng Ruqian's anger.
A night passed.
With all the witnesses and evidence in place, Xu Mo took a carriage to the yamen (government office).
All the brothers came to join in the fun, and even Wang Fufeng followed behind in his carriage.
Zheng Ruqian sat on the carriage shaft, holding the horse bit in one hand and lifting the curtain with the other to talk to his brothers inside.
Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage came hurtling towards them at high speed.
Even though Zheng Ruqian reacted quickly and managed to stop the horse, the two vehicles still inevitably collided.
With a loud bang, several planks fell off the carriage behind Zheng Ruqian, and the entire frame was on the verge of collapse.
Looking at the carriage opposite, it remained stable and sturdy, as immovable as a mountain.
Zheng Ruqian gasped for breath, staring intently at the girl in the colorful dress sitting on the carriage shaft, and roared, "Are you crazy? What do you want to do?"

Zheng Ruqian laughed angrily, "You trampled on my land and you still think you're right? Believe me or not, I'll report you to the authorities and have you arrested right now."
"How dare you!" Niu Xianxian roared in fury. "You stole my land first! I trampled on your field as a warning. If you apologize, fine. But if you remain obstinate, I will make you pay..."
The rest of the words were left unsaid.
She stared at the carriage behind Zheng Ruqian, because it was swaying precariously and dangerous; the people inside needed to get out quickly.
The first to be hit was Xu Mo, dressed in a blue robe. The young master was gentle and refined, and even after landing safely, he didn't forget to hug his frightened younger sister.
When he turned around, his handsome face, refined demeanor, and upright posture outshone everyone else on the street.
Niu Xianxian stared in disbelief, then pointed at Xu Mo and said, "If you marry him into my Niu family, I'll let you off the hook."
