"Um."
Shanshui didn't expect that Cheng Yue understood what he meant so immediately. Although he was curious, this was not the time to be curious, so he nodded and responded.
"Forget it, let's go take a look first. If the enemy comes, we will fight them with our generals, and if the water comes, we will block it with earth. We don't know what's going on inside, and there's nothing we can do standing here."
Cheng Yue held the box and went to the gate of Jinxiu Manor.
Mountains and rivers follow behind.
"We are currently conducting business here. No outsiders are allowed to approach. Don't you have eyes?"
As soon as Cheng Yue approached, he was stopped by a yamen runner holding a big knife.
"Aunt, aunt, you're here!" Before Cheng Yue could say anything, Cheng Jinxing ran out, walked up to the official, and said, "This is my aunt."
The officer retracted his sword and put Cheng Yue and Shanshui inside.
"Uncle Shanshui, Auntie, this is terrible! This turtle, this host is related to the magistrate's wife's family. Coincidentally, the magistrate and his wife were in our county town on business and ran into them. Our County Magistrate Wu didn't dare to give Second Uncle face. He said he wanted to throw both my parents in jail!"
Cheng Jin walked between the two of them and spoke in a low voice.
At this moment, there were only yamen runners from the county government in the hall of the embroidery shop. The Cheng family members were not outside, but in the backyard.
Cheng Jinxing was told by Gu Xuelan to go to the door to see if his family members had arrived.
As for the yamen runners outside the door, they were all yamen runners from the prefectural city who had followed the prefect, so they did not recognize Cheng Yue just now.
Everyone in the county government office in the hall turned their heads away and didn't look at Cheng Yue. They recognized Cheng Yue, but now, they didn't dare to approach her and get close to her!
"Are you sure? There's no turning back?"
Cheng Yue asked.
"The doctor just came and said they'll make a decision after Mr. Feng wakes up. The prefect's steward has spoken. It's up to Mr. Feng to decide whether he wants compensation or to have my father go to jail."
Cheng Jinxing had a face full of anger and his fists were clenched tightly.
If he wasn't worried that his impulsiveness would bring further harm to his family, he really wanted to die together with that bastard named Feng.
He will remember the humiliation of his mother.
"According to the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, officials cannot investigate unless the people report the case. Mr. Feng wants to settle the matter privately, even if it means paying compensation. If he wants to take the case to court, it depends on his injuries. However, since he has a relative who is the prefect, as long as he doesn't settle privately, this matter..."
Shanshui explained it to Cheng Yue and Cheng Jinxing.
After walking through the hall, you will arrive at the backyard.
In the backyard, Cheng Wen was forced to kneel on the ground by the yamen runners holding knives.
Gu Xuelan, Cheng Shun and Cheng Jinxing stood in a row, looking towards the house in the middle of the backyard.
"Dad, I brought the silver. Mom said she put everything in the house in this box."
Cheng Yue stepped forward, handed the box to Cheng Shun, and said.
"Um."
Cheng Shun's facial features were almost wrinkled. Seeing that it was Cheng Yue who came, he wanted to blame her, but the box responded with a sound.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
At this moment, a cough was heard in the room.
Then the door opened, and a well-dressed man who looked like a butler came out. He looked at Gu Xuelan with a smile and said, "Madam Gu, Master Feng said that you can go in and have a good talk with him about what happened today!"
Behind him, a doctor and a medicine boy carrying a medicine box came out, followed by several servants.
Gu Xuelan looked at Cheng Wen, who was under knife with a look of grievance on his face, and decided to go in.
"The old family..."
Cheng Shun was about to stop him but was interrupted by Cheng Yue.
"Sister-in-law, let me go in with you!"
Cheng Yue stepped forward, took Gu Xuelan's arm, and said.
