Chapter 164: Going to the Government for Justice
Xiao Yongyan's temperament was much calmer than Wang Jing's. Hearing this, he immediately shook his head and said, "What a joke! If this is the case, wouldn't we become the people you are talking about?"
Wang Jing was helpless and sighed in his heart. If Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi had not been exiled, they would not have ended up in such a situation.
"This is very simple to explain," Lin Xi said, "You guys have your reasons, and we have ours. Since neither of us can convince the other, let's let the truly capable people make the judgment."
Zhao Tan narrowed his eyes, "What tricks are you trying to play!"
"You misunderstood, Li Zheng. I just want the county magistrate to judge the case and find out who is at fault." Lin Xi said.
Zhao Tan really couldn't understand Lin Xi's thoughts. In his impression, Hang Qi was extremely disgusted with Lin Xi and her. How could she dare to bring this up?
But since she brought it up, if I don't agree, wouldn't it seem like he's afraid?
"Well, since you insist on making a scene in front of the county magistrate, I have nothing to say. I, Zhao Tan, have been upright all my life, and I will tell the truth even in front of the county magistrate," said Zhao Tan.
Lin Xi smiled meaningfully, "You'd better tell the truth."
"But," Zhao Tan said, "I can't let you go tonight!"
Wang Jing said angrily, "You guys are really inconsistent. One moment you say people can't be here because it will cause trouble, and the next moment you say people must stay here. You are crazy!"
Zhao Tan was furious when he looked at Wang Jing. Anyone who had anything to do with Lin Xi was a bad person.
Ignoring Wang Jing, Zhao Tan called a few people over and said, "You guys, stay here tonight and watch until we go to the county town tomorrow."
As a result, Lin Xi and his companions were trapped in the silkworm house.
Xue Lili and Cui Hongyue were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Zhang Chengye found some quilts and other things from his own residence for the three people to prevent them from catching a cold at night.
Nightfall.
Wang Jing sat in front of the fire, feeling deeply moved, "I never thought that I would encounter so many troubles this time."
Xiao Yongyan rolled his eyes at Wang Jing and said, "You should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have the chance to experience these."
Wang Jing stared at Xiao Yongyan with eyes wide open, "You are still in the mood to joke with me now, you should think carefully about what to do tomorrow. What will you do if that old man really says there is something wrong with you?"
Wang Jing said he was worried, but his face showed a look of anticipation.
Lin Xi asked quietly, "Master Wang, can those people outside the door really trap you?"
Wang Jing snorted disdainfully, "How is that possible? Those two are nothing to me. As long as I want to get out, there is no way I can't get out!"
"Then can you do me a favor?" Lin Xi's eyes were burning.
Wang Jing regretted for a moment. Sometimes one should not brag too much.
…
Zhao Tan did not give Lin Xi and the others time to rest. As soon as the day broke, he urged Lin Xi and the others to come out.
Lin Xi hadn't had breakfast yet and was hungry, but Zhao Tan forced him into the car and took them to the county town.
Sitting on the ox cart, Lin Xi felt drowsy. She was about to faint from hunger and really missed all kinds of takeout.
After walking for half a day, they finally arrived at the county town. Lin Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he got off the car and went straight to the restaurant without saying a word.
Sitting on the bench, he said to the waiter in a proud tone, "Bring us whatever is delicious. We have plenty of money!"
The waiter probably rarely sees guests like Lin Xi. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Sir, wait a moment. I'll be there right away!"
Having said that, he ran away in a flash.
As for Zhao Tan and the old Taoist priest, Lin Xi smiled and said, "I am already an unlucky person. The food I eat is naturally not suitable for you to eat. You can solve it yourself."
Zhao Tan was almost vomiting blood due to Lin Xi's attitude, but there was nothing he could do.
This is not Taoli Village. If he were to fight with Lin Xi and others in broad daylight, most people would probably not stand on his side.
"Lin Xi, the food here tastes pretty good!" Wang Jing took a bite of the scallion chicken and was very pleasantly surprised.
After these few days, Lin Xi has become accustomed to Wang Jing's fussing. There is nothing he can do about it. There is really nothing good in the capital. No wonder he has to sigh every time he eats something.
Zhao Tan and the old Taoist looked at the plates of meat and vegetables on Lin Xi's table, their mouths twitching and drooling. They wanted to eat too, but how could they bring themselves to let others treat them?
If they paid for it themselves, they were not as rich as Lin Xi, so in the end they could only sit down with a heart full of resentment, order two bowls of noodles, and watch Lin Xi and the others eat.
After Wang Jing discovered that the village head and the other two were watching, their tones became even more exaggerated.
Lin Xi saw clearly that this guy was just trying to provoke others.
Although it is a bit childish, Wang Jing enjoys it.
After the meal, Zhao Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had never eaten a meal so well before.
After lunch, they continued on their journey and arrived at the gate of the county government office.
The county government's runners were already quite familiar with Lin Xi, to the point where they could recognize him from a hundred meters away.
The gatekeeper immediately became worried when he saw Lin Xi, and urged another gatekeeper, "Go and tell the master that Lin Xi is here!"
The yamen runner was startled and looked into the distance. It was indeed Lin Xi, so he quickly ran to the back hall.
"Master, Lin Xi is here again!"
The lawyer got a headache when he heard the news. This Lin Xi was like a plague god in the county government. As long as she came, there would be no good news.
"Why is this woman here again!" said the master unhappily.
The yamen runner had no idea why, so he apologized and said, "I saw the head of their village was nearby, I wonder what the matter is."
When the lawyer heard this combination, he also felt it was very strange. Both Lin Xi and the head of the village were here. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Zhao Tan and his group stopped at the gate of the county government office. Lin Xi was quite active and was ready to beat the drum when he walked forward. However, he was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed yamen runner. "Wait a minute, I've already gone to tell the adults."
Wang Jing found this scene very interesting and put his arm on the runner's shoulder. "We haven't even told you what we're here for, but you're already rushing to pass on the message. Isn't that too fast?"
The yamen runner's mouth twitched, thinking that if he didn't say it earlier, he would be the one to be scolded later.
At this time, the lawyer came out of the county government office and saw the group in front of him. He recognized the head of the village, Lin Xi, and Xiao Yongyan. He didn't know why the Taoist priest was there, and the other young man was a stranger.
The master racked his brains to figure out what was going on.
"What are you here for?" the lawyer asked in a serious tone.
Zhao Tan stepped forward quickly, "Sir, this is a long story..."
Zhao Tan was a talkative person, and Lin Xi listened to his narration for quite a while, until the master got a little impatient and interrupted, "So, the strange things in your village, the Taoist priest said it was related to Lin Xi, but she denied it?"
