The sons rushed over and hugged Aunt Li: "Mom! I'm sorry! Your sons are useless!"
Aunt Li was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She squeezed her son's hand to comfort him.
The other tribesmen saw this scene but dared not say anything. They were shocked, angry and confused.
Over the years, people always gave the Ji family some room to give way when they went out, but this was the first time that this had happened.
The leader of the officers and soldiers saw this scene and a bloodthirsty smile flashed in his eyes. He swung his whip even harder: "Mother and son love? Then go to hell together!"
The patriarch gritted his teeth. If he didn't say anything at this time, who would take care of him?
"County Lieutenant Zhang! Please, for the sake of our past friendship, spare this ignorant woman for once!"
County Magistrate Zhang laughed heartily as if he had heard something hilarious. "Before, your Ji family produced a third-rank official. Now, what do you have? A bunch of lowly people trying to make friends with me? Are they worthy?"
The clan leader's face turned pale and blue after hearing these words.
Even if it was because of Lord Ji's face in the past, the county government gave the Ji family some face.
But they still give the same amount of money and gifts as they should every year!
After all, distant water cannot quench nearby fire.
They never relied on Lord Ji to harm the village. Instead, they paid even more tribute to the county government than before.
I just handed over this year's filial tribute last month, and now they have turned their backs on me.
Greedy! Really greedy!
Ji Fengyi said in a deep voice, "Last month, when I went to the county government office to do some work, I met you, Your Excellency, and I treated you to a meal. Could you please let them go for the sake of this meal?"
Zhang Xianwei's sister was the county magistrate's favorite concubine, so she used her connections to get a position.
The people he envied the most were those who succeeded through their own strength. Although he was jealous in the past, he did not dare to go too far because there was a high-ranking official in the Ji family.
But things are different now. A phoenix that has become a bandit is no better than a chicken.
"Okay, since our scholar has spoken out publicly, of course we have to give him some face." County Magistrate Zhang said with a smile.
These words made the people of the Ji family feel relieved, and Aunt Li and her family all looked at Ji Fengyi with gratitude.
"But... if we let them go, it will be unfair to the scholar." County Lieutenant Zhang smiled and raised the whip to lash at Ji Fengyi.
"father!!"
“Husband!!”
“Brother!!”
County Captain Zhang said to start the fight and no one in the Ji family reacted.
Only Ji Changying had been staring at County Captain Zhang with vigilance.
She could see that this person was deliberately causing trouble!
As long as he is here today, you won’t have an easy time.
Seeing the whip coming, Ji Changying reached out and snatched the whip, gave County Lieutenant Zhang a silly smile, and then kicked him.
It all happened so fast that County Captain Zhang hadn't reacted before his whip was taken away, and he was also confused by her silly smile.
By the time he reacted, he felt a sharp pain in his body and flew backwards.
This time it flew five meters away!
He fainted before he could even scream.
Everyone present was stunned.
Even Ji Changying himself was very surprised.
What's going on? Why is she suddenly so strong?!
The ten officers and soldiers present were stunned for two seconds, then all rushed over screaming.
No matter how they pinched his Ren Zhong point, County Lieutenant Zhang did not wake up.
Someone immediately shouted in panic, "Notify the brothers to speed up! Pack up your stuff and return to the county!"
"Everyone, stay here and don't move!"
"Keep an eye on the one who's hurting people!"
"yes!"
When County Lieutenant Zhang fainted, the other officers and soldiers suddenly lost interest in continuing.
No matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it!
If anything happened to County Lieutenant Zhang, the whole family would be dead!
Anyway, they had almost finished copying everything, so a group of people hurried back with the Ji family and their belongings.
All the families in Lianhua Village suffered misfortune, even those whose surname was not Ji had a lot of things stolen from their homes.
All the houses, fields and assets of the Ji family were confiscated.
One of the four carriages was used to carry County Magistrate Zhang, and the other three were filled with confiscated items.
Ji Changying quietly hid herself in the crowd and disappeared when no one was paying attention.
Then he swaggered into the carriage.
The Ji family produced several scholars and high-ranking officials.
Half of the clan members' fields are registered under the name of the scholar, and only a small half of the fields need to pay taxes every year.
Things would be sent back from Beijing from time to time, and the conditions were considered very good locally.
There were many books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and several boxes of silver in the carriage.
Some food, quilts, cloth, etc. can be sold for money, so the officers and soldiers did not let go of even these.
Ji Changying used the same method to collect them all very lightly.
Then he returned to the team as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she stood up, she saw Ji Changchuan, sweating profusely, find her and hold her tightly, fearing that she would disappear.
Ji Changying smiled, picked up her brother and carried him on her back.
Ji Changchuan blushed with shame: "I'm not tired, put me down."
Ji Changying jumped: "Don't move!"
Ji Changchuan froze for a moment, and was carried by Ji Changying as straight as a log.
When they arrived at the county town, they were sent to the prison.
We have to wait for the large group of exiles to arrive and hand them over to the escorting officials.
As soon as they entered the cell, many people couldn't hold back and sat on the ground crying loudly.
"Wow, wow, wow... How am I going to live from now on?"
"This is killing people!"
···
There was a cry of grief in the cell.
