The moment the gavel struck, Luo Jiaojiao rushed into the courtroom and knelt down.
"My lord, I, Luo Jiaojiao, have been wronged..."
His voice was very loud, and the people outside were shocked when they heard his name. They whispered among themselves, never expecting that he was actually Luo Jiaojiao, the second young lady of the Luo family.
Wasn't he supposed to be dead? And he even had a grand funeral, so how did he end up here again?
Could there be something shady going on here?
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately inquired.
Luo Yunhe stood outside patiently waiting, watching everything unfold. When Luo Jiaojiao revealed everything to the whole class, everyone present was shocked. Even now, they still find it unbelievable.
"Luo Jiaojiao, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"
"Yes, the adults have evidence..."
When Luo Yunhe heard about the evidence Luo Jiaojiao mentioned, she raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected him to be so stupid as to know to keep the evidence.
Now that we know where this evidence is, we quickly send people to find it.
When the evidence was found at the location Luo Jiaojiao had described, the county government quickly dispatched a large number of people to the Li residence.
At this moment, Li Muran sat in her living room with a cold face, looking at the people who had come to visit.
These people looked embarrassed as they spoke ingratiating words to Li Muran.
“Mu Ran, your parents didn’t treat you like that before. After all, our family was too poor, and you had to take the imperial examinations. We simply couldn’t afford that much money. That’s why we did those things. Now that you’re the owner of Luo Qing Wine Shop, why bother with us about the past?”
"Yes, Third Brother, you're in such a high position now, how can the past be left in the past? We're still family!"
"Third brother, look, look! These are some pastries I specially made for you today. Before, our family was just too poor to afford these. From now on, I'll make as many as you want..."
Standing before him were Li Muran's family members. Although he had given the Li family many benefits after marrying Luo Jiaojiao, now that Luo Jiaojiao was dead, these people couldn't sit still and rushed over to find him.
Just thinking about the faces of these people made him feel extremely disgusted.
"Hmph, is this all you came here for? Now that you've said your piece, leave!"
"No way! You're a big boss now, you've made something of yourself. We can't just stay in the village, can we? Why don't we come and live with you? This house is so big, with so many rooms. Wouldn't it be great if our whole family could be together every day?"
"Yes, yes, a family should be together. Besides, your mansion is so big, we're not taking up much space. We're just looking after your house!"
Li Muran was a bit arrogant to begin with. When Luo Yunhe pursued him, he simply maintained his composure and ignored her, at most acting a bit more like a lovesick fool.
But he genuinely disliked his own family. Putting aside their personal habits, he also disliked their tempers. Why would he want to live with them?
"Guards, see them out!" Li Muran didn't want to listen to their chatter anymore, so she stood up and shouted. Immediately, a lot of servants rushed in and gestured for them to leave.
When the Li family saw this scene, their faces immediately turned extremely ugly, and they even seemed ready to explode on the spot.
This is Li Muran's current level, which is indeed beyond their reach. Moreover, they want to rely on him to live a good life, so they can only try their best to say nice things.
Unfortunately, Li Muran didn't give them that chance at all. The servants dragged and pulled them to the gate and kicked them out.
The people who were kicked out were naturally unhappy and immediately started cursing at the door, attracting a lot of attention.
The people in the town knew Li Xiucai very well back then, after all, Li Muran was quite handsome, otherwise Luo Yunhe wouldn't have pursued him so much.
Seeing that Li Xiucai from back then, now he's Boss Li, and even his own parents and brothers don't appreciate his kindness, I suddenly feel the coldness of human relationships.
Just as the Li family was cursing loudly at the entrance of the Li residence, a group of people arrived from the yamen (government office) not far away.
When the Li family saw the officials, they were startled, thinking that Li Muran had directly reported to the authorities to arrest them, so the officials ran away in a panic.
Not long after they left, these government officials knocked on the Li family's door.
When the officials from the yamen are mobilized, it must mean something big has happened. So when the people around saw this scene, they were all speculating about what had happened to the Li family.
The servant was equally impolite. Just as he opened the door, ready to unleash a torrent of curses, he paused slightly when he saw the officials from the yamen.
"Is your Mr. Li Muran, the big boss, home?"
"Yes, yes..."
As soon as the yamen stopped, he immediately called on all the yamen runners behind him to rush inside.
Li Muran was in the study figuring out how to register all of Luo Jia's belongings under his own name when the study door was suddenly opened.
Before he could finish his sentence, a large group of constables surrounded him.
"So it's Lord Guan. May I ask what brings you here today?" Li Muran appeared nonchalant, with a smile on his face.
"Li Muran, someone has informed you that you attempted murder and robbed someone else's property. Please come with us now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muran's heart sank slightly, and his expression stiffened. It took him a long time to find his voice.
"Is there some misunderstanding? I'm an honest and law-abiding person, how could I possibly do such a thing?"
"Li Muran, why don't you go to the yamen first before we talk about it!"
"Sir, look..." Li Muran instinctively took out a silver ingot and tried to stuff it into the hand of the yamen runner beside him, but the runner was completely unaware of this and forcibly took him away.
Throughout his journey, Li Muran was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get out of his current predicament. He had no idea who had the power to sue him.
Throughout the entire county, although he may not be considered particularly capable, everyone around him had to give him face after he took over everything from the Luo family. How could he possibly ask for a second life at this point?
