Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin also showed a look of worry.
Liu Ergou said, "We've discussed this before. The village chief didn't say anything, but some people said we might as well become bandits. The imperial court won't care about us anyway."
But Mrs. Lin said, "No! How can you become a bandit?"
Duan Qingxi also quickly said: "Yes, bandits are so bad, how can we become bandits!"
Liu Ergou said, "I don't understand either. Anyway, they are all arguing about this. Now there is not enough food, and everyone is very anxious."
Duan Qingxi thought for a moment and then tentatively said, "Ah, if only the court could send a good official down, perhaps they could help us resolve these issues."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin and Liu Ergou fell silent.
Liu Ergou said: "How can there be so many good officials in this world? They all protect each other!"
Duan Qingxi continued, "I've heard my father say that there are still good officials in this world. What do you think... could it be that the Emperor doesn't know anything about what's happening here? They say the emperor is far away, and the bad things done by corrupt officials may have nothing to do with the Emperor..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's eyes relaxed.
Lin Ergou followed up, "That's what the village chief and the others said, but Xiao Zhu and the others don't think so. I don't understand either. It depends on what everyone thinks."
The village chief also thinks so?!
When Duan Qingxi heard this, he immediately had an idea.
After eating the bark dinner, Duan Qingxi quietly went to find the village chief.
The village chief was sitting with a few familiar-looking people, seemingly talking about something.
She listened quietly for a while before she realized that they were also talking about this matter.
Some suggested becoming bandits, while others suggested going to the capital to file a complaint with the authorities...
Just when they were discussing very intensely, Duan Qingxi deliberately made a little noise to attract their attention.
"who?!"
A burly, bearded middle-aged man walked out and immediately saw the terrified Duan Qingxi.
"Xiaoxi? Why are you here?"
Because Duan Qingxi, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er performed very well and helped them a lot, everyone liked them very much.
Duan Qingxi deliberately put on a look of fear and looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Seeing this, the bearded man thought she had something to hide, so he said, "Did something bad happen to you? Otherwise, I'll take you to see your sister-in-law Lin."
As he spoke, the bearded man was about to go look for Mrs. Lin, but was stopped by Duan Qingxi.
She looked up at him, thought for a moment, and then whispered, "Uncle, I'm here to see the village chief..."
"Looking for the village chief?"
At this moment, everyone in the room came out, and they seemed relieved when they saw Duan Qingxi.
After the bearded uncle brought Duan Qingxi into the house, he said, "Xiaoxi said she wanted to talk to the village chief about something. She must have something to say."
However, no one took Duan Qingxi's words to heart, thinking that she was just a little girl and couldn't say much.
But unexpectedly, after Duan Qingxi glanced at all of them, he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Seeing this, the village chief said to the people around him, "You all go back first, we can talk about these things later."
"good."
Everyone felt that there was nothing to discuss tonight, so they left one after another.
After they had all left, the village chief looked at Duan Qingxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, what do you want to tell me?"
"village head……"
Duan Qingxi sat down beside him and asked, "Village Chief, I do have something to tell you, but... could you please not tell anyone else that I said this?"
Seeing her so mysterious, the village chief nodded and said, "Okay."
Duan Qingxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "A few days ago, when I went to the toilet... I overheard Xiao Zhu talking to some officials. They... they seemed to be in the same group..."
