Chapter 1627 You are the Victims
Shu Yu looked at Lu Dasong standing behind her with a puzzled expression.
As Shu Yu's uncle, the latter was the one most worried about this matter, so he came to the county town with her.
At this moment, he couldn't help but scratch his head and chuckle twice, whispering to her, "The shoe print on his clothes was indeed left when Zhang Qing's father kicked him in the chaos, but his hair..." was deliberately pulled off by Zhao Xi on the way back.
Even if Lu Dasong didn't explain it clearly in the following sentence, Shu Yu knew what it meant.
She was speechless for a moment and rubbed her temples.
"Uncle, you've worked hard."
"Oh, what's the big deal? But you, are you really planning to report this to the authorities?"
Shu Yu nodded. "Where's Zhang Qing?"
"At the entrance of the screen wall."
Shu Yu followed Lu Dasong toward the screen wall, where not only Zhang Qing but also a middle-aged couple in their forties were present.
These two are the villagers who cultivate the two acres of sunflowers at the entrance of the village.
Shu Yu remembered that their family name was Liang, and their ancestors were from the same family as Liang Wangsheng.
She greeted the two first, saying, "Thank you for making this trip, Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang."
Aunt Liang was a straightforward person. "What are you saying, Lord Xiang? We should be the ones feeling embarrassed. This scoundrel stole sunflower seeds from our field, and now we have to trouble you to help us get revenge."
If it weren't for Shu Yu, even if they caught Zhang Qing, they would at most just beat him up.
As for the magistrate of Donggu County whom Zhang Qing had brought up, they dared not provoke him at all. They were also very resentful of the frustration of knowing who the other party was but being unable to do anything about it.
In the past, the village chief wouldn't have interfered much and would have just let them resolve the issue themselves.
Who are the Zhang family? A family that can raise a scoundrel like Zhang Qing must be a scoundrel themselves. They can't even get compensation.
Fortunately, Shu Yu stepped in, and ever since she became the village head, the villagers have become much more united.
Shu Yu smiled; she was actually doing this for her own sake.
"Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang, please don't stand on ceremony. It's late tonight, so you two can stay at home. I'll have someone arrange rooms. After dinner, get some rest. As for Zhang Qing, I'll take him to the county government office to report the case. It's already quite late, and the county magistrate won't be able to hold a hearing until tomorrow. You two should rest and recuperate first. The county officials will come to invite you over later."
The Liang couple, who were originally full of enthusiasm, became somewhat panicked when they heard that they would be going to court.
"We...we need to see the magistrate!"
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you there tomorrow. Just tell the truth whatever the adults ask, and leave the rest to me."
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Shu Yu added, “Don’t worry, I’ve dealt with the magistrate before. He’s mild-mannered. Besides, you’re the victims, so don’t be afraid.”
The two were somewhat relieved upon hearing this; indeed, they were the victims.
Shu Yu then had his servants take them inside to rest.
After everyone left, she looked at Zhang Qing, who was tied up tightly. He was not tall and had a bruised and swollen face, indicating that he had been beaten up back in Shangshi Village.
That's true. If we don't fight, how will he confess everything and expose all of Mr. Qian's secrets?
At this moment, Zhang Qing looked up and saw her staring at him coldly. He immediately shivered and said, "You, you stay away."
Shu Yu looked down at him condescendingly and said to Ying Xi behind him, "Let's go to the yamen."
