It turns out that the scene of Da Shi driving back to the village with the injured Chang Jun had already been seen and remembered by the villagers chatting at the village entrance!
Although Xiao Shi only said a few words casually, the villagers took them to heart!
Whether it's Changjun or Qingyun who was kidnapped by villains, these two are the most successful among the nineteenth generation descendants!
The criminals didn't just kidnap two young men; they kidnapped the future of Wu Village!
In particular, the current importance of the Jiang family to the entire village, and the promises made by the Jiang family—
We must ensure that Wujia Village has a school, so that future generations of Wujia Village will have the opportunity to read and write!
Although they usually like to take advantage of small things, when faced with a life-or-death situation where outsiders are bullying their own people, they all put aside their prejudices and calculations!
Whether they are elderly, children, or women, they all support their husbands, sons, and grandsons in going to town to find the villains and rescue Qingyun!
"Mrs. Jiang, we all know that it was the son of Master Peng who bullied Qingyun and Changjun. Don't worry, everyone is behind you!"
"Go home. I'll take some men to town and negotiate with Minister Peng. We'll definitely get Qingyun back!"
The village chief, trembling, walked out leaning on his cane. After offering some words of comfort, he got into Jia Hu's oxcart, and seven or eight strong men followed suit.
Thank you everyone.
Jiang Yue's expression changed; this situation was something she hadn't expected.
“However, this concerns my son, and I can’t just wait at home for news. I’ll go too; maybe it will be of some use.”
Before she could even refuse, the village chief heard the sound of a car—
"Third Aunt, we're here to help you too!"
Inside the car sat Da Shi's father and second uncle.
"Third sister-in-law, we're here to help you!"
Jiang Yue pursed her lips, said nothing, and waited for the oxcart to stop in front of her before stepping onto it.
Then, a few more familiar faces came up.
Wu the Hoe, Wu the Axe, and Xiao Ma and Xiao Hu's father.
Two oxcarts traveled one after the other in the gradually darkening night. No one spoke; everyone on board gripped their tools tightly with tension.
Jiang Yue was very anxious. Although she initially harbored many prejudices against the third son after transmigrating into the book, believing him to be dark-hearted and malicious, she was wary and afraid of him...
But as they spent more time together, the other person gradually changed. She heard the other person call her "Mom," and slowly, she got used to the way they interacted.
Later, she gradually won him over. He treated her with affection, filial piety, and always protected her. She opened her heart and accepted this son!
Just now, after hearing what Da Shi said, she almost fainted from the shock!
It turns out that she had completely accepted this son in her heart!
Third brother, you're the villainous second male lead in the original story, you won't get killed off so easily, will you?
You haven't passed the imperial examination to become the top scholar, haven't achieved great success, and haven't earned me an official title yet, so you absolutely can't have anything happen to you!
Meanwhile, outside the Peng residence.
"Moo moo moo~"
The blue ox gazed clearly in one direction, as if trying to see why its master hadn't come out yet.
Little Ma and Little Tiger had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Before long, the two Qingshan brothers were kicked out!
"Bah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You poor wretched creature, how could you possibly be worthy of seeing my master!"
"So what if my young master arrested someone, or even killed someone!"
"roll--"
"Bang!"
The two brothers were thrown out by several tall and burly servants, and they were so badly injured that they couldn't speak for a long time.
"Green Mountain~"
"Green pine~"
Are you alright?
"Why don't we report this to the authorities?"
"But the government offices are only staffed during the day; at night, I'm afraid..."
"We can't worry about that now, let's go to the yamen!"
"Okay, I'll help you up, Little Tiger, you help Green Pine~"
"Hiss~"
"Qingsong, I'll go slower~"
"These bastards are bullying us because of their power!"
"I'll remember the Peng family!"
......
Inside the county government office—
The advisor was fast asleep when he was suddenly shaken awake.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the county magistrate!
"Your Excellency, what brings you here?"
"Get dressed and proceed to the court!"
"ah?"
The clerk instantly woke up from his drowsiness, dared not ask any more questions, and obediently put on his clothes. He had just finished putting on his shoes when he heard the bailiff calling him…
Strange, there haven't been any cases in Peach Blossom Town for a long time. Who would come to beat the drum and appeal for justice so late at night...?
"Court is now in session—"
"Awesome!"
*Smack!*
With a thud of the gavel, the two brothers, Qingshan and Qingsong, who had been appealing for justice by beating the drum, knelt down in front of the courtroom.
"I am the magistrate of Peach Blossom County. Who are you? Why are you beating the drum to appeal your grievances in the dead of night?"
Although Magistrate Liu had expected it, he was still somewhat surprised when he saw the person who came.
He had originally guessed that the family would arrive tomorrow, but they arrived so late. What a deep bond between brothers!
“Reporting to Your Excellency, we are brothers, currently residing in Wujia Village, Taohua Town, Taohua County. We run a small hot pot restaurant in this town. We have come here today to stand up for our younger brother and beg Your Excellency to investigate.”
Standing atop the green mountain, he bowed and reported.
After his elder brothers, Qingsong and the others, finished speaking, he added:
“My younger brother is eleven years old and studies at the town’s academy. He is a top student and an excellent student in both character and academics. However, because he is too outstanding, he has been envied by his classmates. My relative, who is studying at the academy, risked his life to escape and told us that my brother was kidnapped by the young master of the Peng family and taken back to their mansion. His life or death is now unknown. I beg the county magistrate to have mercy and rescue my brother!”
Upon hearing the report from the two brothers below the hall, Magistrate Liu stroked his beard and looked at them with newfound respect.
His own son was still "uncertain of life and death" at the Peng residence, and now, taking advantage of this brother's connections, he...
"Report!"
"Sir, many villagers from Wu Family Village have come to the yamen to seek justice, saying that some villains have kidnapped the young men of the village!"
Another constable came to report, and it was clear that the man's forehead was covered in sweat.
"oh?"
Magistrate Liu was surprised and intrigued. How could a young man have alarmed the entire village?
"Announce—"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The two brothers, Qingshan and Qingsong, exchanged a glance, and inexplicably felt a tacit understanding—
It must be Mom coming!
Sure enough, when they saw the village chief's mother, as well as his uncles, their anxiety subsided.
With the elders arriving, they now have someone to rely on!
"This humble citizen, Wu Changfa, village head of Wu Family Village, pays his respects to Your Excellency the County Magistrate!"
"This humble woman, Wu Jiangshi, mother of a petitioner seeking justice, pays her respects to Your Excellency the County Magistrate."
"This humble citizen..."
Originally there were two carts carrying a dozen or so people, but for some reason, five or six more villagers in oxcarts arrived one after another!
When the families in Wujia Village who owned oxcarts learned of this, they all extended a helping hand, sending representatives and strong men carrying hoes to support the village chief and Jiang.
