He really liked the new county magistrate from the bottom of his heart. He was sure that Sinan County would have great fortune in the future.
The soldier was about to reply when a mother and son suddenly rushed out from the street nearby.
The mother and son looked shrewdly, and after locking their eyes on Gu Wei, they knelt down on the ground and kowtowed hard.
The woman cried out loudly.
"God of Justice, help us! God of Justice of Sinan County, help us! Please save us, mother and son!"
There were already many people on this street, and after hearing the shout, everyone's eyes turned over.
Gu Wei frowned and said coldly.
"Who are you? Stand up and speak."
But the woman didn't get up. She kowtowed hard and continued to shout like she was singing an opera: "Everyone, please judge. The Feng family has no justice! They arrested my husband and father-in-law and made them farmhands. They haven't seen them for a year. A few days ago, my child and I went to ask for help, and they beat us out!"
Having said this, the woman suddenly lifted up her sleeves, revealing the purple bruises on her arms.
Then, he grabbed the collar of the child next to him and ruthlessly lifted up his clothes. The large bloodstains were terrifying to see.
The child was trembling, with big tears streaming from his dark eyes.
The people around all gasped and a noise started.
"The Feng family is getting away with it!"
"My neighbor was also captured by the Feng family, and he hasn't been found yet!"
"I'm afraid that Sinan County has already been ruled by the Feng family!"
…
It seemed as if someone in the crowd was deliberately stirring up the emotions of the people. The people were in high spirits, their voices were more passionate than each other, and the noise was very loud.
Gu Wei and Xie Ling looked at each other and had a conclusion in their minds about this matter.
At this moment, the woman's shrewd eyes suddenly stared at Gu Wei, like a sharp sword, reflecting a vicious light.
She slapped her thigh and screamed, "I heard that this is the new magistrate of Sinan County! Lord, please judge for us! You must make the decision for us!"
After the woman said this, she pushed the child beside her hard.
The child knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting in a childish voice.
"Master Qingtian, please make the decision for us!"
As the child finished speaking, the eyes of the people around were all fixed on Gu Wei.
"Really? This is the new county magistrate?"
"Ask him to judge for us!"
"Mr. County Magistrate, please make the decision for us!"
It seemed as if someone in the crowd was deliberately stirring up the emotions of the people. Everyone was excited and staring at Gu Wei. Some even wanted to rush over and grab Gu Wei and cry.
The leading soldier frowned, turned back and said to Gu Wei: "Sir, I will take you to the small road."
Gu Wei shook his head.
He cannot leave today. If he leaves, his reputation of being mediocre and incompetent will be ruined, and from now on, the people of Sinan County will not trust him.
Even if someone sets a trap for him and tries to trip him up, he just has to take it.
Xu Xingzhi walked past the crowd and came to Gu Wei, his eyes sharp, and whispered a few words.
Gu Wei nodded.
Just when Gu Wei was about to speak, the woman suddenly picked up the child beside her, took out a knife from her arms, and raised it up suddenly!
She looked vicious and shouted, "Since the county magistrate is unwilling to help our family, we can only die to prove our loyalty! County magistrate, you have such a vicious and cold heart!"
As he spoke, he turned the sharp knife in his hand and pointed it at the child in his arms!
The child's eyes were wide open and his face turned pale with fear.
At this critical moment, Xie Ling waved her hand, and the needle in her hand flew out like an arrow and hit the woman's arm.
The woman screamed in pain and the knife in her hand fell to the ground.
The people around all cheered.
"Girl, you're good at it!"
The heavy rock hanging in Gu Wei's heart finally fell, and he was able to take a breath.
Even if it was him, in that situation, he would definitely be able to protect the boy from getting hurt.
Fortunately, Xie Ling reacted quickly.
The woman looked at Xie Ling with a look that seemed to be poisoned. "Little bitch, what are you doing?"
While Xie Ling was talking, the woman picked up the sharp knife on the ground and raised it again, wanting to continue stabbing the child!
This time, Gu Wei noticed it, frowned, used his Qinggong skills to fly over and subdue the woman.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Who are you to not even spare your own children?"
"Oh, she is not the mother of this child."
Xie Ling stood aside with her arms folded and spoke loudly.
The people around were all stunned.
"She is not the child's mother?"
"What on earth is going on?"
Gu Wei and Xu Xingzhi widened their eyes, looking as if they had suddenly realized something.
No wonder!
Xie Ling’s observation is so meticulous!
The woman started to throw a tantrum and slapped her thigh, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch! Don't listen to her nonsense, this is my child! The county magistrate is just talking nonsense because he doesn't want to help our family, don't believe her!"
Xie Ling deliberately raised her voice, "Okay, he's your child, then tell me his last name and his birth date?"
The woman choked, her eyes rolled around, and she mumbled a string of numbers.
Xie Ling sneered, "Please say it again."
The woman was completely helpless this time. She opened her mouth slightly, widened her eyes, and began to talk nonsense.
"I don't care about you. Anyway, you are in the same group with this damn county magistrate. You are in the same group with the Feng family!"
Xie Ling walked over, half-knelt in front of the child, and said softly: "Little friend, I can save you. Can you eat this candy?"
