Wanyou and the villagers behind him made a blocking gesture.
But Feng Da remained resolute, glancing at the county magistrate behind him. Magistrate Deng did not let go...
Feng Da led his men and drove away triumphantly.
"village head!"
Shui Sheng looked at Wan You, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes.
The politeness on Wan You's face gradually disappeared.
Magistrate Deng didn't waste any words, looking into the distance as he waited for Ah Chun to be brought in.
In less than 15 minutes, Feng Da, carrying someone on his back, along with Feng Da's wife, Feng Yun, Feng Xi, and others, came running quickly.
A group of villagers, men, women, and children, followed behind him, carrying hoes and pieces of wood.
If you look closely, you can see that Feng Da has injuries on his face.
Ruan Meng leaped forward, snatched the person from Feng Da's back, and immediately ran backward.
With his burden gone, Feng Da ran much faster.
Just as he reached Magistrate Deng's side, the villagers behind him arrived.
The villagers of Wanjiacun were in a state of high spirits, waving the weapons in their hands.
The third brother and Xiao Kai stood in front of Ruan Meng, and Ruan Meng put the person on her back down.
Everyone held their breath.
The people on the ground were unrecognizable; their faces were swollen from being beaten, and their eyes were bruised and almost black.
Ruan Meng pulled up Ah Chun's sleeves and trouser legs, revealing crisscrossing wounds that were still dripping blood, as if telling the story of the brutal treatment the body's owner had suffered.
"Aquatic!"
Magistrate Deng was furious. "Did you hit him?!"
Shui Sheng shrank back, "It's not just me..."
He glanced around; everyone was standing up for him. If he shirked responsibility now, he'd never get his wife back...
He steeled his resolve, tilted his head back, and said, "I did it, so what? She still wants to run away!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Meng pushed through the crowd and rushed over to give him a good beating!
The fists were too ferocious; Shui Sheng's eyes turned into those of a bear in just a couple of moments. The villagers brandished hoes and sticks, but dared not lay a hand on him.
Wanyou turned his head and gave a look, which seemed to embolden the villagers, who then brought their hoes down...
How could the third brother tolerate this!
Just now, when Ruan Meng took action and unilaterally beat up that beast Shui Sheng, he rushed behind Ruan Meng, afraid that she would suffer a loss.
Seeing that the people from Wanjia Village dared to make a move, he immediately grabbed the hoe. The Fan family members had already rushed over, and the three of them took action in an instant, knocking everyone down!
Wanyou turned to Deng Zisong and said, "Sir, you can't just stand by and watch them bully the people of Wanjia Village like this, can you?"
Magistrate Deng's face was ashen. "How dare you bully a widow like this?"
If he hadn't sent Feng Da over, would they have already killed him?!
Deng Zisong gave him a cold look, and Wan You shut his mouth.
Deng Zisong looked at Feng Da, "Feng Da, arrest this beast who abused his widowed sister-in-law—Shuisheng!"
"yes!"
Feng Da answered readily. When he stepped forward to arrest the man, the villagers tried to stop him, but were blocked by the Fan brothers and the third brother.
"Sir, you can't be so biased, can you?"
Wan You said with a stern expression.
"Why don't you teach me how to be a county magistrate?"
Deng Zisong retorted, "Look at the kind of villagers you've brought out!"
"If you feel that I am showing favoritism..."
"In that case, I will return to the county office now and conduct a joint trial, allowing all the people to witness it."
"Let everyone judge for themselves: Is it your Wanjia Village that is brutal and bullies the orphan girl, or is this official showing favoritism?"
"As a father myself, how could I stand idly by and watch an orphan be bullied like this?"
"If this is favoritism, so what?! I act justly wherever I go. I just don't know if you feel guilty!"
"Oh! By the way, you have two sons, so how could you possibly be considerate of other people's daughters!"
"However, I must advise you: if you conduct a public trial with disembowelment, do you even want to find wives for your Wan Family Village in the future...?"
Ruan Meng hadn't expected Deng Zisong to be so helpful.
Judging from his appearance, he's someone who's not afraid of causing trouble.
A person with an open and honest heart is never sad.
Wan You's expression was quite unpleasant, and he was speechless for a moment.
The villagers of Wanjiacun were somewhat afraid of officials, let alone the county magistrate.
Shui Sheng had been restrained by Feng Da and was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Wanyou, what do you say? How do you want to resolve this?"
Wan You glared at Feng Tao. Now, was it their turn to do what they wanted?
"All we ask is that Fengjia Village will not disturb the aquatic life in the future!"
"good!"
Deng Zisong answered readily, which made Village Chief Feng Tao a little anxious. Deng Zisong reached out his hand, signaling him to calm down.
"Feng Da, hand the man over to them."
Deng Zisong looked at Feng Tao and said, "Take Ah Chun away."
"That's settled then. Let's not bother each other anymore!"
"but......"
"grown ups!"
Feng Tao and Wan You spoke at the same time.
