There's a sizable area in front of the Sheng'an Prefecture government office, and it's now full of people!
Chang Zihe carefully protected his mother and wife, while Chang Xiaozhong stayed at home and was not brought out.
Chang Ziyan was also protected, and he was not involved in the incident that was in his name.
The Fan family wasn't completely wiped out; quite a few members came out.
Chen Yin watched as someone wrote poems to curse, even targeting Consort Huan.
It was quickly plucked by a group of people, and all its teeth were pulled out.
This shows how popular Consort Huan is!
This year's bumper harvest has won Empress Huan and the eldest grandson of the emperor great popularity!
The system implemented in Baishi Village was very popular, and the Charity Department was also building up Huan Niangniang's reputation.
Therefore, it's quite normal that he was beaten up for framing Chang Ziyan by having a woman frame him.
Chang Ziyan just stood there. Regardless of his slightly foolishness, he was so honest and good-looking that many women wanted to marry him but were afraid of not being able to reach his level.
If the emperor abdicates and the crown prince ascends the throne, Chang Ziyan will be the emperor's brother-in-law.
If the eldest grandson of the emperor has a successful future, the Chang family will rise even higher.
Chen Yin thought it would be quite interesting to use all the grain from Baishi Village as seeds.
It seems that everyone will be eating grain from Baishi Village from now on. But the grain that Chang Shuigen cultivates will be different.
So what if someone is destined to be a farmer? How much good karma can they accumulate? The Chang family's foundation is solid, and they can probably last for hundreds of years.
Land in Baishi Village is limited, and there are always people to help during busy farming seasons, so the work isn't tiring.
When he had free time, he could read, like Chang Ziyan. Although he had a rustic air about him, he also had a scholarly air about him.
He wasn't your average playboy who would flirt with any woman he saw.
I'm afraid even Chang Ziyan doesn't quite understand, so he's innocent.
The Fan family gang has been almost completely wiped out.
The Sheng'an Prefecture has just stepped in; this matter still needs to be investigated.
If it's a false accusation, that woman won't just tear it apart.
A woman suggested, "Let her be attacked by a dozen or so beggars on the street..."
A beggar shouted, "It's too dirty!"
Some also shouted, "Woof woof!"
The woman looked disheveled, not like she had been raped by Chang Ziyan, but rather like she had been raped by dozens of men.
She looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of wild and stubborn eyes!
Jing Weidong: "She still thinks she's capable!"
Even a common woman in the marketplace understood: "Let Miss Fan be besieged by a dozen beggars on the street..."
The woman screamed, "You're not human!"
One of the boys laughed loudly: "The Fan family really has some clever tricks up their sleeves, raising such a loyal dog!"
Some people were saying, "Won't all the people from Ningzhou come to Sheng'an? Fan Tongwen gave them benefits, but he didn't give the imperial court a single tael of silver."
"They illegally mined and minted silver, embezzling tens of millions of taels of silver. I wonder how much of that money these ignorant people actually made?"
"If those people from Ningzhou dare to come to Sheng'an, just send them all to the Kingdom of Dele."
The Kingdom of Dele is gone. People brought over from the Kingdom of Wunu are growing sweet potatoes in Dele, and they're said to be doing quite well.
Sheng'an also planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, but not as well as Changhe County.
No matter what you plant in Changhe County, there will be fewer insects. If this is not the will of heaven, then what is it?
The Sheng'an Prefecture is going to hold a trial, and everyone wants to see it.
There's not enough room for all the people inside; most of them have to stay outside.
The weather is nice today, and the more people there are, the hotter it gets! Even more people have come to see the excitement.
Chang Shuigen, He Shuiying, Chang Zihe, and others entered the hall, but instead of sitting down, they watched from the side.
Chang Ziyan is now a defendant, and he doesn't want to kneel.
Huang Shi didn't make things difficult for him; it was clearly a false accusation.
The woman knelt on the ground, pointing at Chang Ziyan and shouting that the authorities should beat him to death.
Huang Shi ordered the yamen runners to first give him twenty lashes as a warning.
The woman looked pitiful, but now she seems like a villain; she is indeed very vicious.
Then she started sobbing again: "You officials protect each other, and the common people have nowhere to seek justice."
Huang Shi gestured, "Hit again!"
The yamen runners showed no mercy, which shows they had someone backing them up and were completely clueless.
He Shuiying couldn't stand it anymore.
Jing Wei spoke up for her mother-in-law, saying, "She's like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water. If she keeps arguing, everyone should just leave now."
The woman pointed at Jing Wei and said something lewd: "What if you get raped!"
Several women crowded around and pressed the woman down to teach her a lesson.
A series of wailing and howling erupted. The woman finally realized the gravity of the situation.
The woman gracefully withdrew, saying, "I can't stand such despicable people! And those despicable people from the Fan family too!"
Huang Shi was at a loss. It wasn't that it was completely impossible, but he didn't want to get involved, because getting involved too much would be bad for Consort Huan.
Fortunately, the plaintiff finally calmed down a bit.
Huang Shi asked, "What exactly was the time, the place, the cause, and the sequence of events?"
Someone shouted, "Can we even ask about what happened?"
Chen Yin kicked the man out: "After all this time, you still haven't explained where you are? You're just spouting nonsense?"
The constable nodded: "She just couldn't explain herself clearly. She also said she wasn't familiar with the roads in Sheng'an and didn't know the names of the places. She didn't say a single coherent word."
Chang Ziyan suddenly stood up and said to his parents, "I seem to remember this happening."
Everyone was stunned!
Several more shouted, "annihilate them!"
The thugs watching from outside the gate were so fierce that one of them almost killed someone.
The woman cried and threatened to smash her head against a pillar.
Huang Shi ignored him.
Chang Ziyan remained calm despite being stared at by everyone, recalling: "This time when we came to Sheng'an, there were old and young people with us, and the emperor specially bestowed upon us a royal procession."
Huang Shi nodded, "The sage's love extends to the Chang family; they've been quite considerate."
A wealthy Earl and a happy lady, quite a grand affair.
Chang Ziyan said, "Our family basically doesn't move around much when we're together. But there was one time I felt like we were being watched, do you remember, older brother?"
Chang Zhuan interjected, "Your elder brother told you to be careful. After all, quite a few people are heading to the capital."
Chang Ziyan nodded: "Do you remember the group of people we bumped into the day before yesterday when we were on the road?"
Chang Zhuan slapped his thigh: "You mean you did it on purpose back then? We stayed in the village for half a day."
Chang Ziyan said very seriously to Lord Huang, "I was stunned at the time, and I even told my elder brother about it later. But my elder brother was busy with his affairs and didn't care much since I was fine."
Chang Zhuan jumped up and shouted, "You're saying you have absolutely no idea what happened?"
Chang Rui interjected, "I was watching you, you didn't go far. But it was chaotic at the time, you might have seen a few people."
Huang Shi asked Chang Rui, "Tell me about what happened back then."
Chang Rui replied respectfully, "The car crash happened rather suddenly, and I was worried something might have happened. Madam Anle was with her female relatives and children and was relatively safe. I kept an eye on the boys, and even when they needed to relieve themselves, they had company. They were gone for less than fifteen minutes. There were a few people who seemed to be from the village watching the commotion, but nothing happened."
Huang Shi asked the woman, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The woman cried pitifully.
Huang Shi remained expressionless: "Even if you don't tell me, I can find out the truth!"
Someone shouted, "Has Chang Erlang encountered some kind of evil magic?"
"Is it possible that he is being controlled by someone?"
"One side is being controlled, and then this woman goes to meet them?"
"It ultimately didn't work out?"
"Of course! The Chang family is protected by divine mandate!"
The imperial physician has arrived!
Huang Shi thought to himself, "They really have a lot of influence." He just needed to investigate the matter truthfully.
If it is evil magic, one should not be careless.
The Fan family is colluding with the Great Stone Kingdom and practicing evil magic. Huang Shi doesn't know if they want to die or not.
