As he thought this, he looked at the "mud ball" master and servant beside him with disgust.
Let’s not talk about the fat guy first. Even though he is the magistrate of Tai’an County, he doesn’t dare to say that Tai’an is his home. This kid is so shameless and has the audacity to do so!
But before he could open his mouth to scold, Mudball shouted first.
"Sir, my father is the county magistrate, and I am the youngest son of the Wang family. Woohoo, I'm not a liar! Let my father come, I want to see my father!"
When the county magistrate heard that he refused to repent and was so stubborn, he decided to have the officers give him a beating first.
But suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, as if the county magistrate had indeed mentioned that his youngest son had returned home when they were drinking tea a few days ago.
He hesitated for a moment and then signaled his lawyer to come forward, wondering whether he should call the county magistrate to identify the person.
As a result, the county magistrate finally rushed over in a hurry.
The noise was quite loud, and the servants who were out shopping noticed it and ran home to report it.
The county magistrate hurried over but was still too late. His son had already been taken to court. Regardless of the right and wrong of today's incident, the Wang family was doomed to lose face!
"Oh, sir, sir! What happened? My son is young and naive. There must be some misunderstanding!"
County Magistrate Wang bowed and started by saying it was a misunderstanding, obviously wanting to make a big thing small and a small matter nothing.
But even sharpshooters are afraid of bad teammates, not to mention that Mr. Mudball is the fighting pig among the bad teammates.
As soon as he saw his father coming, he thought he had found a backer, and regardless of what his father said, he almost crawled over and hugged his father's thighs, crying loudly!
"Dad, wuwu, these untouchables dared to hit me! Dad, avenge me, kill them and feed them to the dogs! No, his family's workshop makes money, let them give the workshop to me as an assailant, and then kill them!"
The veins on County Magistrate Wang's temples bulged, and he wished he could kick his stupid son to death!
Meanwhile, Master Tai San, who was standing nearby, feigned surprise and shouted, "Ah, this is really the son of the County Magistrate. Isn't he a liar? No, the County Magistrate is an official and should understand the law best! How could the son of the County Magistrate keep talking about killing people and even try to rob our workshop?"
The villagers and idle people who were watching the excitement outside the yamen were also talking about it.
The idlers were curious and gloating, gossiping secretly.
"I've never heard that the county magistrate has such an ugly and fat young man in his family?"
"I heard he was studying in the south. Who knows why he suddenly came back?"
"The County Magistrate shouldn't be short of money, so why would his son go out and rob a workshop? He must be a swindler."
"It's definitely not, otherwise the County Magistrate wouldn't have come all this way."
When it was the turn of the people in Taijia Village, they were furious and shouted loudly.
"Before, this guy was shouting about fighting and killing. I thought he was a liar trying to scare people. I didn't expect he was actually a government official!"
"No wonder they are so vicious, they really have someone to rely on. Luckily our Tai family is not easy to bully, otherwise I'm afraid the whole village would be massacred by now."
"You are such a powerful young man! You robbed our workshop and even wanted to chop off our heads. You are so arrogant!"
"Luckily, he's the son of the county magistrate. If his family had a high-ranking official, I'm afraid everyone in the entire Wei Dynasty would have needed his permission to breathe!"
"That can't be possible. The Great Wei belongs to the Emperor, and all officials, no matter how high their rank, must obey the Emperor!"
County Magistrate Wang's face turned red and blue when he heard this. He was filled with hatred, but he couldn't help but get angry.
He kicked his son aside and, trying to put on a smile, said to the county magistrate, "Sir, please don't listen to my son's nonsense. He got frightened in the south and became insane. I thought he would get better after returning home, but he's actually gotten worse."
"He went out today and caused such a mess again. I will keep a close watch on him from now on and will not let him disturb the people again."
The county magistrate had no intention of making things difficult for the county magistrate. After all, the county magistrate was his right-hand man and very capable, and the Wang family had given him many "tributes" during the New Year holidays.
At this time, if he relaxed a little, the Wang family would appreciate it and he would have some peace and quiet.
So, he responded casually, "So that's what happened. It's understandable. Find a good doctor and take good care of yourself."
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, sir." County Magistrate Wang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the two old men of the Tai family, thinking about how to appease them and put today's incident behind them completely.
Although he also looked down on the Tai family for being peasants, he was in the wrong today, so he had to lower his posture and say something nice.
"My two elders, I'm truly sorry. My child is ignorant and frightened you. So, today I'll take fifty taels of silver and buy some pork, mutton, rice, and flour. Everyone, please return to the village and enjoy a good meal to calm your nerves. This will be my apology to you, my fellow villagers."
Old Master Tai and Third Master Tai had already discussed it on the way. This mud ball must be the son of the county magistrate. It is unlikely that they can punish him today.
But how to show that the Tai family is not easy to mess with, but also not to make mortal enemies with the county magistrate, one must strike a balance.
Now that the county magistrate has apologized and paid compensation, we can just call it a day.
Old Master Tai remained silent, but Third Master Tai timidly asked, "Um... Mr. County Magistrate, your young master said that our family stole the novel needlework he brought from the south. That shouldn't be true, right? Our workshop won't be taken away, will it? You... won't make things difficult for us Tai family members in the future, will you? We really didn't know this was your young master. After all, no one would have thought that a noble young master would be interested in the mere trifles in the hands of ordinary people."
County Magistrate Wang looked very embarrassed. No matter what he was thinking, he responded readily, "Don't worry, old man. Today's incident is our family's fault. We can't wait to apologize, so why would we cause you any more trouble? I will come to apologize again some other day."
