As soon as the hour of Chou arrived, Anwu went to find Erliuzi's mother and the veterinarian, gave them some instructions, and then went to find three witnesses.
Anwu's action woke up everyone in Liujia Village. Not knowing what was going on, they came out with torches to see what was going on.
An Er and An San tied up the Liu family men and the scoundrels and threw them onto the ox cart. They then asked Liu Jiacai Niang and Liu Jiafa Niang to get on the ox cart and drove towards the county town.
Anwu also asked Erliuzi's mother, three villagers and the veterinarian to sit on the ox cart and drive towards Wan County.
Shangguan Feiyun held Li Yun in his arms and followed behind using his lightness skills. They could actually ride in an ox cart, but Shangguan Feiyun disagreed. He didn't want to sit with those people. He just wanted to accompany Li Yun.
After all, he wanted to stick to Li Yun alone so that he could take advantage of him.
Two ox carts drove out of Liujia Village one after another. The villagers of Liujia Village also saw that the people sitting on one of the ox carts were Liu Laotou's family, scoundrels, and the men in Liu Laotou's family were all tied up.
On the other ox cart were three honest young men from the village, a second-rate woman and a veterinarian.
The villagers felt that something was wrong. The three men driving the ox cart were not from Liujia Village. There was also a man and a woman following behind them. The man knew martial arts and could even fly over eaves and walls.
Some villagers had already gone to see the village chief. After learning about the incident, the village chief went to find out the situation from the families of the three villagers. He learned that it was because Liu Jiafa went to find the second-rate guy, and they saw it and were asked to testify.
The village chief quickly went to find the villagers next door to Old Man Liu to find out what was going on. The result was that embarrassing noises were coming from the Liu family all day long.
The village chief felt that something was wrong and that it might affect the reputation of Liujia Village.
He found a few young people that night and took a ox cart to the county government office.
Ma Youcai was awakened by two secret guards at Chou hour. He changed clothes with Dingxiang and was accompanied by the two secret guards back to the county government office.
An Er brought everyone to the county town at the hour of Mao. The city gates were usually closed, but they were open today. An Er thought that Ma Youcai might have returned to the county town.
Sure enough, the two soldiers guarding the gate came over to ask.
"Are you the people of Young Master Shangguan and Miss Li Yun?" When the master asked them to open the door just now, he told them that there was no need to close the door. A prisoner would be coming for trial soon, and the people escorting the prisoner were Young Master Shangguan and the master's godsister Li Yun.
"That's right, were you ordered by Martha to wait here?" An Er asked the soldier.
"Yes, our leader said that as soon as you arrive, you can go directly to the government office. He is already prepared." said the soldier guarding the city gate.
"Thank you!" After saying that, An Er led everyone into the city to the government office.
Shangguan Feiyun took Li Yun directly in through the back door and went to Ma Youcai's yard to have breakfast.
"Miss, Mr. Shangguan, breakfast is ready, please enjoy." Dingxiang's personal maid saw Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun come in and invited them to have breakfast.
When the master and the mistress came back early in the morning, they told her to prepare breakfast and wait here for the young lady and Master Shangguan?
"Thank my sister-in-law for me. You can go down. We don't need you to wait here." Li Yun was pulled in by Shangguan Feiyun and was about to have breakfast. When he saw the maid following in, he refused to wait.
"Yes, Miss." The maid bowed and left.
Shangguan Feiyun waited for Li Yun to finish breakfast before he started eating.
After breakfast, the two went to the front yard to watch Ma Youcai try a case.
Inside the yamen, Ma Youcai was in the courtroom. He clapped his hands with a wood stick and shouted, "Court open!"
The yamen runners standing on both sides kept hitting the ground with killing sticks in their hands, shouting "mighty".
Soon, Anwu came in with three villagers from Liujia Village, Erliuzi's mother and Veterinarian Liu.
On the other side, the constable also brought in the Liu family and some scoundrels.
The people of the Liu family were forced to kneel on the ground. When they saw that the person sitting in the court was County Magistrate Ma who lived in Li Yun's house, they were so scared that their whole bodies turned cold.
"Liu Shugen, Lu Zhaodi, Liu Jiafa, Wang Cuihua, Liu Jiacai, Liu Ergen, and Qingshan Village villager Li Yun have sued you for framing Chen Mei and drowning Xiaohua. Do you plead guilty?" Ma Youcai asked them majestically.
When the Liu family heard this, they were so frightened that they started to complain and protested their injustice.
"Sir, we are wronged! We didn't do this, we don't admit our guilt, she is making a false accusation, please seek justice for us and clear our name." The people of the Liu family argued convincingly.
"Liu Shugen, you keep saying that you are innocent. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence? If so, I will help you punish Li Yun." Ma Youcai picked up the wood and slapped it, then said to the Liu family.
"This..." Liu Shugen was stunned by the question. How should he answer this? He really couldn't prove himself.
"Why, you can't produce any evidence, and you still say you're innocent? You really won't cry until you see the coffin.
"Veterinarian Liu, what's going on?" Ma Youcai said disdainfully.
When the Liu family heard the word "veterinarian", they were frightened and started to talk nonsense.
I didn't pay attention just now, but now I realize that Veterinarian Liu is on the other side, along with Erliuzi's mother and three young men from the village.
When Old Man Liu and Liu Jiafa saw the people on the other side, they knew in their hearts that their day was over.
They were probably going to fail here, as those people saw them.
"Sir, here's what happened: Yesterday, Liu Shugen asked me for an aphrodisiac, and I asked him what he wanted to do.
Because I am a veterinarian, those aphrodisiacs are given to animals so that they can give birth to more children.
Liu Shugen told me at that time that his dog was not in heat and asked me to give him some, so I poured some for him.
Unexpectedly, he poured out a bottle and said that there were too many dogs and he wanted to leave the remaining ones for later use. I didn't know what to say, so I let him take it away.
"Sir, I didn't realize he was trying to harm people. Please understand." Veterinarian Liu told Ma Youcai everything about Liu Shugen going to him to buy aphrodisiacs.
"Liu Shugen, is what Veterinarian Liu said true?" Ma Youcai asked Liu Shugen again.
"Sir, it's unfair! I didn't even consult a veterinarian. He is the one who is unfair to me." Liu Shugen still refuses to admit it. If he admits it, he will go to jail.
"Liu Shugen, you still refuse to admit your mistake even when facing death. I will make you admit your mistake.
"Liu Ergen, tell me why you showed up at Liu Shugen's house?" Ma Youcai said angrily.
"Sir, yesterday Liu Jiafa came to my house and asked me to have dinner with him. He said he wanted me to do something good and that he would give me one ounce of silver after I did it. When I got to his house, Old Man Liu gave me a bowl of water. I drank it without any suspicion. Not long after, I fainted.
When I woke up, I was lying on the bed, my whole body was hot and I felt very uncomfortable. There was a woman lying on the bed. Out of instinct, I crawled towards her.
When he was about to reach the woman, a man suddenly appeared, kicked the little one away, and carried the woman away. Liu Ergen told Ma Youcai everything about how Liu Jiafa had tricked him into going to the Liu family.
Of course, he didn’t tell us what happened between him and the woman from the Liu family later.
