Chapter 201 Godfather Appears
There's no way to save them. Let the dog magistrate and the big fat pig stay close to each other for a while.
“Help… wu… help…”
Li Mumu made some secret moves, and the yamen runners tried to get up, but were tripped again.
A fat pig weighing over 300 pounds was pressing down on Dong Zixu, and Dong Zixu couldn't move at all.
Not only was there a mess in the court, but some people also laughed in an unkind way.
Prefect Nie frowned and was about to smile, but he endured it. Although he felt it was an insult, he also felt that Dong Zixu deserved it.
When the time was right, Li Mumu asked the yamen runners to get up. As long as she stopped playing with them, they would not be weak in the knees.
The yamen runners worked together to pull the fat pig away, but the fat pig still wanted to pounce on Dong Zixu. In the end, one of the yamen runners wanted to draw his sword but was stopped by Li Mumu.
"Can't kill!"
The bailiff was stunned. "Why?"
"Kill, kill this beast quickly." Dong Zixu shouted loudly. As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the stench of a pig all over his body.
Li Mumu curled her lips, "Sir, what crime did it commit?"
"It...it disturbed me."
"But it is willing to take responsibility." After Li Mumu said this, many people actually realized what Li Mumu meant.
Li Yunye returned home disappointed after failing to find the fat pig. He happened to see this farce and said with a smile, "Yes, this big pig is willing to take responsibility for you, sir. We suggest that you marry this big fat pig."
The common people also understood and burst into laughter.
The county magistrate married a big fat pig, a really big fat pig.
"You...you...you did this on purpose?"
Li Mumu shook her head. "We're just making a suggestion on behalf of the fat pig. Sir, you wouldn't disagree, would you? But everyone saw you acting like a fat pig. It's not good for your reputation!"
So everything he said just now was returned to him by Li Mumu.
Although he felt relieved, old man Qin Ling was worried that his children would be retaliated against.
"Come here, drag... drag them all away and lock them up. How dare you play tricks on me? I think you are tired of living."
Dong Zixu was so angry that his voice split open. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to embarrass the Gu family!
This time, if the Gu family doesn't find a beautiful woman to serve him, he will never let these children go out.
"Sir, think twice!" Old Master Qin shouted while kneeling on the ground.
He felt powerless and helpless, but what else could he do?
He has no ability to see the light through the clouds.
"It's no use for anyone to plead for mercy. Come on, drag them away."
"Let's see who dares!" Li Yunchao said, "As a senior official, you don't stand up for the people, and now you're bullying us. The pig ran here on its own. What evidence do you have that it's my sister's? Without any evidence, what right do you have to detain us?"
"That's right." Li Mumu smiled, knowing that none of her brothers were spineless.
It would be better if we make a big fuss, because if we make a big fuss, more people will know about it.
Li Yunqiao also protected the children, "Sir, if you want to jail someone, just jail me. It has nothing to do with them."
"You are rebelling. Lock you up. Lock you all up."
"I think you're the one who should be locked up the most!"
The voice came from the crowd, but because people were moving around, Dong Zixu couldn't see clearly who it was.
He slammed the table and stood up. "How dare you! Who dares to speak to me like that? Here, I am the law. Are you all trying to rebel?"
"Wang Fa, can you be above the laws of Dongyao Kingdom?"
"Who?" Dong Zixu looked at the crowd, and at this time, Magistrate Nie, who was traveling incognito, had already signaled his followers to come forward.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency the Prefect... I was unable to come and greet you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Magistrate Nie stepped forward with a dignified look on his face, "I cannot forgive your sins."
When the people present heard that it was the prefect, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground, and Li Mumu also knelt down.
It must be said that this came at the perfect time.
She was worrying about how to run later.
Anyway, I can't go to jail.
"Your Excellency the Prefect... Your humble servant..."
"No need to elaborate. I've heard everything. Dong Zixu, as the county magistrate, you disregarded the law and acted recklessly. This is your first crime. You embezzled the money from the exiled prisoners. This is your second crime. You broke the law knowing it and didn't follow through on your words. This is your third crime. I think you deserve to be jailed. Come, take him to the cell and wait for your turn."
The people kneeling on the ground cheered loudly, with Li Mumu's voice being the loudest.
"Li Yunqiao."
"I...I am here, sir. Please help me."
Magistrate Nie nodded. "I have understood everything. Shi Wen, you broke the law knowingly and are still trying to argue. First, take you away and give you fifty lashes. Then, I will punish you according to the laws of Dongyao."
"Sir, please don't, please have mercy." Shi Zecheng begged, "We admit it, please don't let my son go to jail, it will ruin his life."
Those who commit crimes will never have the chance to enter the official career in this life.
"Your son is a child, but other people's daughters are not the flesh and blood of their parents?" Magistrate Nie asked coldly, "You were once an official, yet you allowed your son to commit such a crime? I think it's time to punish him with a beating. Come, drag him down and give him twenty lashes of the cane."
“No!”
However, since Magistrate Nie had spoken, the yamen runners dared not disobey, for they were all afraid that the beating would fall on their heads.
The matter was resolved, and Li Yunqiao cried and laughed. It turned out that this was what it meant to persevere, and the bad guys would be punished.
"Oh, blue sky." Old Master Qin shouted loudly, and everyone followed suit.
Who doesn’t want such a good official?
Li Mumu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Mumu!"
"I... I'm here!" Li Mumu responded.
"Follow me!" said Magistrate Nie.
Old Master Qin didn't know about Li Mumu's connection to the Nie family and was a little worried. "Sir, what just happened has nothing to do with Mumu. The pig ran here on its own."
"Old man, I don't want to punish her, I want to reward her." Prefect Nie said with a smile.
Li Mumu also nodded to Qin Ling, "Grandpa Qin, you are a good man and will not bully Mumu."
Magistrate Nie also nodded solemnly, then took Li Mumu to the back hall.
Li Mumu hesitated whether to get close to him. He knew his identity and naturally knew that he had saved his precious daughter, but it would be a bit inappropriate to call him godfather right away.
"Why? You won't be unhappy that I, your godfather, didn't favor you, right?"
Li Mumu shook her head, "No, how could that be?"
She giggled, "If Godfather favors Twilight, then Twilight will be unhappy."
Magistrate Nie smiled and said, "You are just as smart as your godmother said. You really gave me a good show. However, there is still one question I still don't understand."
"Godfather, you say." Li Mumu called him very smoothly.
