shock!As soon as he came back, his house was ransacked and he was exiled.

Chapter 205 A twitching right eyelid is definitely not a good thing

Who could have imagined that disaster would come so quickly? I had just comforted myself at noon when something happened.

Jiang Zhimiao expected that the court would send someone, but she didn't expect that they would come on New Year's Eve. When Wu Changsheng came with the government servants, she was frying bean sprouts.

"Miao girl, Mr. Qingtian has something to ask you, please come with us." Wu Changsheng came with his hands behind his back and sighed.

When someone was sent from above, he thought they were asking him, the village chief, to question him. Unexpectedly, it was actually for Jiang Zhimiao.

Seeing the official uniforms on the yamen servants, Jiang Zhimiao had a suspicion in her mind. She cleaned her hands, and after explaining the follow-up matters to Xu Yourong, she followed them calmly.

Xu Yourong was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand, so she said that it was definitely not good if her right eyelid jumped. No, something happened at home just after the dance.

"Well, even if the government arrests someone, there must be a reason. They just took my daughter away without saying anything. I don't agree." Xu Yourong blocked the door, pretending to be calm, and said in a trembling voice.

Seeing the gloomy look on the official officer's face, Jiang Zhimiao smiled apologetically, took out a few coins from her purse and handed them over, "Sir, my mother is also worried about her daughter, so please don't blame me, just treat the money as your own." I pay homage to you and buy wine."

"Please forgive me for a moment and let my mother and I have a few words of respect."

The official took the money without changing his expression and gave a few warnings, "It's only a matter of time. Hurry up. I am also entrusted by others, and my sword has no eyes. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Wu Changsheng hunched over and said a few soft words in a low voice, "Your Excellency, you don't remember the faults of villains. I hope you won't take offense."

The official glanced at him and hummed: "Hurry up, don't miss the time. If you miss the time, neither you nor I will get any good results."

Wu Changsheng wiped away the cold sweat and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, we must do it as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he approached Jiang Zhimiao and said with a solemn expression: "Don't talk nonsense. If the master is impatient, I am afraid that our heads will be in danger."

Jiang Zhimiao nodded in agreement, and pulled Xu Yourong and said, "Mom, don't be anxious. You remember what I said before. It's expected that I was summoned. Don't worry. Wait until the interrogation is over. I’ll be back for New Year’s Eve dinner soon.”

She smiled lightly and said, "Don't talk to Minghuai and the others about this for now, so as not to worry them too. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Jiang Zhimiao comforted her by stroking her hand.

The summons from the government office was simply because of the matter about the Doubtful Heart Grass. It was a big matter, and if one more person knew about it, it would be an additional disaster. Instead of hurting the family, it would be better to keep silent from the beginning.

She expected that someone would be summoned in the near future, but she didn't expect it to be so fast. It took them six or seven months to travel from the capital to the far north. In just three months, someone had already arrived. It was really fast.

Xu Yourong responded belatedly and gave her a confused look. After meeting the yamen servant's impatient eyes, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Thousands of words turned into just one sentence, "Be careful in everything." She choked back the tears that overflowed from her eyes.

Jiang Zhimiao went to the town by carriage. She hadn't sat in it for many days, and she felt a lot of discomfort in her heart. She calmed down and looked around. Unexpectedly, Wu Changsheng adapted very quickly, and she saw that his face was glowing red. , I couldn’t suppress the excitement in my eyes.

"Here, sir, why did the people above ask us to go to the Yamen? I don't know what to do, so I would like to ask you to give me some advice." Wu Changsheng rubbed his hands with a flattering look on his face.

The yamen servant glanced at him contemptuously, with a straight face and full of majesty on his face, and sternly scolded: "Go if you are told to go. Why is a big man talking so much nonsense?" To say that he is an old man, he is worse than a young man. He knows how to be a good person, and he just wants to make a cliché without expressing his feelings. No way, he snorted softly and narrowed his eyes against the car.

Apparently realizing something, after listening to his scolding words, Wu Changsheng's face suddenly turned red. He was so old that he had forgotten the rules.

After thinking about it, he took out two pennies from his waistband. After rubbing it for a while, he gritted his teeth and handed it over with a smile. It’s a small person who honors you, but I hope the adults will accept it.”

"I just don't know why it was summoned? Please enlighten me."

Jiang Zhimiao opened her eyes and saw Wu Changsheng handing over the copper plate in pain, with an extremely flattering look on his face. She remained silent and closed her eyes again.

The yamen officer's eyesight was also fake, just to test whether Wu Changsheng understood the rules. He rubbed the two coins he handed over and sneered: "It's not a bad thing after all. Just tell the truth. You will know when the time comes."

Two copper coins were just enough to buy a candied haws. Not to mention that he didn't know why he was summoned. Even if he knew, he would only say so.

Wu Changsheng summoned up the energy not to miss the look on his face. When he heard that it was not a bad thing, he breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped his sweat and murmured: "It's good if it's not a bad thing. It's good if it's not a bad thing."

Usually when someone from the government came to summon him, he just said a word and left. When he went out, he saw that the government servant had not left, so he knew that something was wrong.

Tianshui Village is not a precedent for the village to receive kickbacks and benefits from allocating land. No matter which village it is, it is done this way. The village chief is still an official. Although he does not have the official rank in the government, he still has some rights.

If he couldn't get some benefits from it, how could there be so many people trying to become an official? After three years of clearing the county magistrate and a hundred thousand snowflakes and silver, he was just imitating others.

I was afraid that the government would treat him like a prodigy and beat him up, and my heart was pounding. Now that I knew it was not a bad thing, I finally felt relieved.

Jiang Zhimiao saw him sigh with relief, leaned against the car, closed his eyes and calmed down.

The horse-drawn carriage was no better than an ox-cart, and it traveled faster. It arrived at the gate of the county government office in less than half an hour.

Jiang Zhimiao got out of the car, glanced at the plaque with the word Yamen engraved on his head, raised his steps lightly, and followed Wu Changsheng and the Yamen servant inside.

Life and death are commonplace in the yamen. Wu Changsheng's legs couldn't stop trembling before he saw the county magistrate. Fortunately, he was wearing a long coat and could not clearly see his current embarrassment.

He had been here before, but he had never been as panicked and at a loss as he was now.

He originally thought that the government officer would take the two of them to the court for questioning, but unexpectedly, he went around and took them to a wing behind the court.

"Yes, people are here?" A very dignified question came from inside the house.

The yamen servant clasped his hands in his fists and said with great energy: "If you tell me, sir, I have been brought here."
