Chunxiao could already feel the surge of people before he even arrived at the county government office.
Xiaohua supported her, and Zhou and Tian protected her in the middle. They were led into the lobby of the county government office by the officials and soldiers of the county government office.
In fact, the process was very simple. It was to state the facts of the victim and then summon physical and witness evidence. What surprised Chunxiao was that among the witnesses were former inmates in the same prison. They described in detail the whole process of Chunxiao being abused in prison.
Later, the officer who persecuted her was dragged out. He had lost his previous arrogance and now looked weak, with countless wounds on his body.
Chunxiao felt happy in her heart. Whoever did it did it really well. The current situation was completely different from what it was before.
The officer quickly confessed that they persecuted her in order to get the prescription, and the mastermind was Chen Erlong. However, Chunxiao did not see Chen Erlong, which was a bit strange. Generally, the main culprit would be present as long as he was breathing.
Yan Bingfa and the others also explained their attempts to force the prescription. The whole process went surprisingly smoothly. Next, they discussed the fine imposed on Chunxiao by the village. Since the magistrate had acted without authorization, the charges were dismissed. The fine was returned in full and collected by the village official.
The court was quickly closed because there were many cases. After their trial, there were still several cases waiting to be heard. They did not dare to delay, so they took the case closing documents, received the refund and left.
When they walked out of the crowd, all the villagers were happy because their money was returned.
"Dad, Mom, let's go back. I don't want to stay in the county town anymore. I want to go back."
Yan Bingfa looked at her and said, "Okay, let's go back. Let's go back to the inn and pack up our things. It's not dark yet if we go back now."
"Is it safe to take a carriage for your injuries? It will take several hours."
"It's okay, mother. That injury won't heal in a day or two. I can handle it. I haven't been home for a long time, so I want to go back soon. The oranges in my farm should be ripe by now."
"Miss, when we get back I'll go to the farm and pick a basketful for you, and peel it for you every day."
The carriages were driven out, and the family, the village head and several villagers packed up their things and went home. Many villagers wanted to continue watching the fun, so they extended their room rent for a few days and let them stay. The villagers were very grateful.
"It's been about a month since I came out this time. It wasn't that cold before, but now I feel a deep chill."
When Xiaohua heard her say she was cold, she quickly took out her cloak and said, "Miss, put on your cloak and you won't feel cold anymore."
Chunxiao looked at her and said, "Xiaohua, I actually forgot to thank you. This time it's all thanks to you."
"Miss, please stop talking. I've been blaming myself for being too slow. It's good that you don't blame me."
"The girls in our family are all good and have good connections with our family." Zhou looked at Xiaohua, "Auntie also wants to thank you."
"Auntie, please don't embarrass me. If we talk about good karma, it was the young lady who did the good deeds first. We should do these things."
"Mom, now that the county magistrate has fallen, we can sell our cotton. Have Dad and the others discussed this? The cotton from the three places combined is quite a lot."
"Now that you've become like this, who in the family still has the heart to run the business?"
"Now that everyone in the family is back, we can discuss this matter properly. This is a major family matter."
"You're always thinking about business. I'm afraid it'll be too late to go back today. You still need to eat. Let's go tomorrow morning. I'll help you get them all together tomorrow morning. If you have anything to say, just tell them directly. I'll let you take the helm, okay?"
When they returned to the village, it was dinner time and every family was cooking. When they saw the carriage entering the village, they knew they were back. All the villagers came out and surrounded them in the middle of the village to ask what had happened recently.
A villager saw Chunxiao's bandaged hand and asked, "Chunxiao, how did your hand get injured? How did you become after being taken to the county? We are all worried."
"I heard that the county magistrate fell because of this incident. This time, our village has made a great contribution."
"Finally, it's overthrown. Many people have been looking forward to this day for a long time, but unfortunately, the life span of turtles is long and smelly."
"Uncle Bingfa, I heard that many high-ranking officials have come to the capital. What are they like? Are they particularly powerful?"
"Shuwen, you are really good. You can see through all kinds of things."
Everyone surrounded their carriage and talked non-stop.
The village head came out and stopped them from asking any more questions. "Aren't you all cooking? Be careful not to burn the pot. I've collected the fines from everyone today. Remember to come to me to collect them. I won't deliver them to you one by one."
When the villagers heard that the fines had been returned, they became even more excited. "Headmaster, the fines we took away can be returned. You are not trying to trick me, are you?"
"Uncle Lizheng, did something happen in the county? Why didn't my wife come back with you?"
"If you don't believe me, then take the silver and it'll be mine. As for your wife, she's enjoying the excitement in the city and won't be back for a few days. Okay, stop crowding around. You guys have cooked dinner, but we haven't eaten yet. We can talk tomorrow. Chunxiao has suffered so much in the county town, so let her go back and rest early."
When everyone heard this, they quickly made way.
Only then were they able to continue on their journey. They first sent the village head and the villagers back home, and then drove the carriage back home.
Haitang Pan'er and Changxing rushed to the door immediately when they heard the sound of horse hooves, and saw that it was indeed them who had returned.
They didn't react much when others got off the car, but when they saw Chunxiao coming out, they laughed happily, "Aunt, you're finally back."
