Chapter 296
Judgment time changed.

The county magistrate personally announced the news, and the trial date for these villains was changed to three days later.

The people onlookers were all shocked.

Everyone speculated whether the people in Daxi Village were protected by some important person, so the trial date was changed.

These days, change it and change it, if it is not in order, it will be nothing.

Some people think that there must be something else hidden in it.

But no matter what, the county magistrate left after announcing the news, at most saying a few words of comfort.

The dozen or so people kneeling on the ground were also escorted back to the prison.

This time, there was no excitement at all, and the people onlookers began to watch in twos and threes.

The Qi family got together again, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't know what to do next.

Qi Manman suddenly said: "Mother, Man Baoer is hungry."

With such a sentence, everyone instantly had a goal.

Come back home!

Must go home!

The big things should not be ranked after filling Man Baoer's stomach.

On the other side, Liu Qinghe took 50 taels of silver, took five or six brothers, and rode directly to Daxi Village.

It wasn't the first time Liu Qinghe came to Daxi Village, but the feeling of coming this time was obviously different.

The scene I saw before was that a villager was like a walking dead. Even if they saw them officers and soldiers, the villagers would at most give way, and the other reactions were basically equivalent to no.

However, when I looked again this time, I saw that the eyes of these villagers were obviously bright.

Seeing their officers and soldiers, the villagers immediately knelt down, showing respect that had never been seen before.

The village head and his family were all arrested.

Except for the daughter who married out, there is no one living in the village head's family now.

And those daughters who married out have no one to come back to see because no one sent the news.

Liu Qinghe rode all the way to the gate of the village chief's house.

The gate was locked with an iron lock, and a seal was pasted on it.

Although no one damaged the gate or iron lock, the courtyard wall of this yard was covered with feces.

A foul smell can be smelled from a distance.

Now that they came to the front, not to mention people, even horses retreated uncomfortably.

"Boss, it tastes too good."

The yamen servant who came out with Liu Qinghe covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and frowned.

Liu Qinghe was also so smoked that he could barely open his eyes, so he could only wave his hands, signaling his subordinates to hide in the distance first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the direction, he saw an old lady walking tremblingly towards this side with a cane in one hand and a small wooden bucket in the other.

Three to forty meters behind her, two young men were running in her direction, shouting "Mom" as they ran.

The old lady didn't know whether she didn't hear it or didn't want to hear it, she still walked forward with a cane.

"Boss?"

The subordinates around him looked at Liu Qinghe.

Liu Qinghe raised his hand to signal the other party not to speak, but he got off his horse and walked towards the old lady.

When Liu Qinghe was approaching, the two men following behind also caught up.

When the two of them saw Liu Qinghe, their faces turned pale, and they said in a trembling voice, "Hello, my lord."

Liu Qinghe waved his hand and was about to greet the old lady when he smelled a familiar smell.

That smell came from the wooden barrel in the old lady's hand.

"My lord, I, my mother, she..."

One of the men wanted to say something, but he stuttered and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Liu Qinghe frowned, and instead of asking questions in a hurry, he stood in front of the old lady.

The old lady's eyes were dull, and her eyeballs moved as if covered by something, and then she stopped: "You, who are you?"

The voice is hoarse and uncomfortable to hear.

Liu Qinghe said: "Old lady, I'm from the county government, what are you doing with the urine bucket?"

"What?"

The old lady's voice was a little higher, and she turned her ear to Liu Qinghe.

It seems that the ears are not very useful.

Liu Qinghe had no choice but to repeat his identity loudly.

When the old lady heard it, she shook her body, and the wooden barrel in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the dirt inside spilled out instantly.

Liu Qinghe immediately took two steps back to prevent those things from splashing on him.

But the old lady completely ignored the dirt and knelt down on the ground, crying and shouting: "My lord! My lord!"

"Old lady, you, you..."

Liu Qinghe wanted to go forward to help him up, but the ground between the two of them was full of dirt, which made it difficult for Liu Qinghe to get off.

It was the old lady's two sons who stepped forward, each supporting an arm, and finally moved the old lady to a clean place aside.

"Atonement, my lord! My mother, she just wanted to pour dirty water, no, she never wanted to go in the wrong direction."

"Yes, my lord, please don't take offense!"

The two men who looked to be about forty were also tear-stained at this time.

Going the wrong way?
Naturally, Liu Qinghe didn't believe such words.

Liu Qinghe waved his hands to signal the two of them not to talk, but he asked the old lady loudly: "Old man, what are you going to do?"

The old lady felt some strength in the hands of the two sons holding her arm, which meant to keep herself from talking.

But the old lady didn't care about that at all, she cried and said: "My lord, old lady, I want it, I want to splash that devastated family with excrement and urine!"

"Where do you live?"

Seeing that the old lady was agitated, Liu Qinghe might not be easy to ask anything now.

What's more, these three people's bodies are full of dirt, and it's really not suitable for them to stand here and chat.

The two men looked at each other, and the older man said, "The younger family lives at the end of the village."

"Lead the way, first go home and change into clean clothes for the old man."

As Liu Qinghe said, he waved to his own people.

The subordinates immediately led the horse over, followed behind the mother and son, and walked all the way towards the end of the village.

But after walking a few steps, Liu Qinghe noticed that many villagers had come out, looking at them, the yamen servants, vigilantly and pleadingly.

Thinking of what Quan Qijin said to him, and the advice of the magistrate to himself, Liu Qinghe simply stopped, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I am here today under the order of the magistrate. Xicun investigates what the village chief's family has done over the years."

"If you have anything to tell me, you can go to this family's house and talk about it in detail."

After speaking, seeing that no one came forward, Liu Qinghe had no choice but to talk about the reward.

In order to convince these people that the bounty was real, he took out a small wooden box directly from the bag on his horse.

Opening the wooden box in public, they saw that there were a lot of copper coins in it, and a few pieces of silver among them.
