"Well, in broad daylight, you actually dare to steal our rice, how brave you are!"

Not far away, several tall and strong men aggressively surrounded a young woman. While grabbing her arm to prevent her from moving, they aggressively grabbed the basket in her hand, trying to take the things back.

The woman looked less than 30 years old, and her linen clothes were covered with patches, and her hair was shaken and messed up in the fight.Her strength is naturally not enough in front of a few tall and thick men, but she still stubbornly protects her basket containing rice ears, and said with tears in her eyes, "I didn't steal it! This is my land, and this is my rice. !"

"Nonsense! Since when did this become your family's land? Hurry up and give me the stolen rice!" A man yelled at her viciously, and pulled the woman back suddenly, taking advantage of her Unable to stand still, he took the basket over.

The woman seemed to have been robbed of some precious treasure, and immediately threw herself at the man regardless, and said hoarsely, "Give me back my rice! Give me back!"

In the chaos, the woman's nails scratched his neck, leaving a long and thin bloodstain, and the man suddenly became furious: "Bitch! You dare to hit me for stealing our rice, see if I don't kill you rice thief!" !"

As he said that, the man raised his right arm high, and his fist like a hammer was about to fall on the woman's face.

"stop!"

At this moment, Gu Yunji yelled angrily, and walked quickly in front of them: "In broad daylight, the sky is clear, and you men are actually ganging up to bully a woman from a good family, is there any law?"

The man stopped his movements and saw that Gu Yunji was well-dressed. He was not sure which rich man he was from, so he held back the scolding and said in a bad tone: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in our business here?"

Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows coldly: "Who do you care about me? You are bullying a weak woman here because of the large number of people, and you are not allowed to speak out and help me when I see injustice?"

The man laughed for a moment in anger: "'Seeing injustice on the road'? Do you know what injustice is, boy? In this society, whoever is weak is not justified! It was this woman who stole our rice, and we just asked for our grain back That's all, how could it be bullying her?"

"I didn't steal it!" The woman blushed, and stubbornly argued, "This is my land. I cut the rice that grew on my land, so I didn't steal it at all!"

The man spat angrily: "Your land? Pooh! This is my master's land! From the other side of the mountain to the river bank, there are hundreds of acres of land from my family, Mr. Chen Xunzhou! We planted it all! It has been many years, when did it become your family?"

"I don't dare to talk about other places, but here... to here, there are a total of twenty acres of land, all of which belong to my family." As the woman spoke, she pointed out the field to everyone. My family is planting, and the planting time is much longer than yours!"

The man sneered: "You said this is your family's land, so you also planted the rice?"

The woman's aura instantly fell, and she said with a little confidence: "The land belongs to my family, but the rice is not planted by me..."

"It wasn't the rice you planted, so what are you talking about!" The man's face became fierce, and he looked at Gu Yunji arrogantly, "You heard me, boy, she admitted that it wasn't the rice she planted, but she didn't plant it herself. Come to harvest, this is not stealing!"

"You rice thief! Come on, follow me to the officer!"

Gu Yunji frowned, and instinctively felt that this matter was not simple, before he could speak, he saw the man grabbing the woman's clothes and trying to take her away by force, so he hurriedly stopped her: "Wait! The matter has not been clarified yet, how can you Can you take people away?"

After speaking, Gu Yunji turned to the woman, and said in a calm tone: "My lady, you said that this land belongs to your family, do you have evidence?"

The woman nodded: "Yes, I have a land deed, and it's in my house."

Gu Yunji said again: "Can I take it to the next question? If you can really show the land deed to prove that the land belongs to your family, I can help you write a complaint and file a lawsuit to help you regain your land."

I don't know which sentence was wrong, the woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she rejected it in panic: "I don't want it! Who knows who you are, maybe you just want to trick me into taking out the land deed, and then take the opportunity to destroy it forcibly!"

Gu Yunji choked, and explained in a good voice: "My lady, I didn't want to lie to you, I really want to help you. Besides, the land deed is the proof of the ownership of the land. If it is filed with the government, as long as you don't get it It's useless for me to forcefully destroy your signature..."

The man next to him interjected, and said in a vicious voice: "You can't lie, I think she just wanted to absolve herself of the crime, so she made up such a lie! The land deed of this place is clearly placed with my master, how could it be possible?" In your hands!"

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and they didn't produce any evidence. Gu Yunji didn't know who to believe, and from the man's words, it could be heard that Chen Xunzhou, a fellow acquaintance, was also involved. The matter was a bit tricky.

This is not a place for reasoning. The origins of these men are not yet clear. Gu Yunji dare not reveal his identity hastily. Afraid of self-defeating.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji decided to smooth things over first: "Left and right are just a matter of half a basket of rice, how could it be such a big deal? If you really go to court for this matter, you think the county magistrate will decide the case in every way." , or will you think that you are just looking for trouble when you are full?"

The man is just a small head of the farm under Chen Xunzhou's name, with little power, and he can't even see Chen Xunzhou himself on weekdays.He didn't want to go to court at first, he just wanted to frighten the woman, if he really went to the county government because of this matter, I'm afraid that Chen Xunzhou will lose face in the end, and he will be the one who suffers no good.

Seeing that Gu Yunji had let her go down the steps, he no longer clung to her, and reluctantly said: "...well, today I will let her go and leave the ears of rice, so she can go."

"No way!" The woman refused, still holding the basket and did not let go, "My husband has a handicap, and the rice tank at home has long since bottomed out, so I am just waiting for this ration to save my life. Besides, this is grown in my field. Rice, why should I stay!"

"Hey! Don't be shameless..."

Seeing this, the man was about to get angry again, Gu Yunji signaled him to stop, took out a sling of money and put it in his hand: "Let her take the rice ears away, and I'll pay for it, okay?"

The man weighed the copper coins and snorted, "It's not too bad."

"This lady, let's talk about it in another place... Hey, this lady?"

Gu Yunji comforted the man, and was about to find a place to have a good understanding of the cause and effect with the woman, but when he turned around, he found that the man had already run away, and he couldn't even catch up.

"Hey, forget it." Gu Yunji shook his head helplessly, and told Chen Peishi, "Go back and find out, who is this woman's name and where does she live, and if she finds it, let me know."

Chen Peishi replied: "Yes."
