Chapter 42
The man who went to invite the county government quickly returned, and there was actually a big brown horse following behind him. There was a person sitting on the horse, wearing the clothes of the county government.
The people who originally bought the ice cream did not leave, they all stayed there to watch the excitement. They never thought that the ruffians who were causing trouble had actually invited people from the county government, and they immediately dispersed in fright.
Since ancient times, reputation has not been compared with officials. Common people like them may never see a person from the county government in their lifetime. I didn't expect that I would see it with my own eyes when I came to buy ice cream today.
When the gangsters who surrounded Jiang Wei and her daughter saw that their brother had actually invited people from the county government, they immediately trembled with fright. They pulled people over and asked in a low voice: "What are you really doing?" Go find someone from the county government!?"
They were originally here to destroy other people's business. They just wanted to scare people and had no real intention to invite anyone from the county government!
The man scratched his head and looked troubled: "I didn't really want to invite him, I just met him on the way..."
The eldest brother was beaten to a bloody head. He was so panicked that he ran into the street in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he collided with the gentleman's horse. When he looked up and saw that the man on the horse was wearing county government clothes, he was frightened. , I somehow managed to tell what happened here...
Unexpectedly, the adult followed after hearing this.
He didn't want to bring them over, but they were officials and he was a civilian, a civilian causing trouble. How dare he refuse?
After understanding the ins and outs, the leader of the trouble had no choice but to bite the bullet since everyone was here.
So, he turned to the mother and daughter and yelled: "Damn you bitch, my brother invited the adults from the county government to kill for life. You will die today!"
After saying that, he took several brothers and knelt down towards the big brown horse in front of him, crying: "Please make the decision for us, sir!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little shocked when he saw this scene. Wasn't it true that people from the ancient county government were so easy to hire?
Could it be that they hired someone to pretend to be this yamen servant?
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at the big brown-red horse. At a glance, she saw that the man on the horse was wearing the official uniform of the county government and had a big knife on his waist.
Well, there are knives, it's true.
In ancient times, private possession of swords, armor, and crossbows was strictly prohibited, otherwise it would be considered treason.
This person is really from the county government!
However, do ordinary government officials have horses? After all, horses were still very expensive in ancient times. Generally, only people from noble families were qualified to ride horses on the streets.
Wait, why does this horse look familiar...
Isn't this the same horse I saw in front of Yuelai Restaurant a few days ago... It can't be such a coincidence, right?
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, she met a cold and serious face.
"Who among you caused the death?" the man said.
The gangsters who were making trouble hurriedly pointed to the unconscious man on the ground with a bloody head and cried: "Sir, it's the mother and daughter! We brothers came here to buy some ice cream, but we didn't expect it. They actually fought against us and even killed my eldest brother. Sir, you have to make the decision for us!"
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but feel angry when he saw several people crying and arguing.
They were obviously the ones who came to cause trouble in the first place, but they blamed all the crimes on them. Do you think so many passers-by are blind? ?
But...the thing about her mother beating people is true.
In ancient times, the laws were not perfect, and unless it caused human life, the county government and the government would generally not take care of it.
As for beating people among the people, it is a misdemeanor. The ancient principle for minor crimes was that the people would not complain and the officials would not pursue them. Unless the situation is serious, you may be dragged away and punished with a cane.
However, the execution of this ancient law is very flexible, mainly depending on the attitude of the county government - in short, even if the money is given, the murder does not need to be paid with life, and the punishment does not need to be slapped.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking about whether to give some money to solve the matter quietly, but her mother-in-law stood up and said resolutely: "Which of your eyes saw me killing people? Don't slander me. It's obvious that you are here to cause trouble and destroy my stall. Take action in legitimate defense!”
"You didn't kill anyone?! My brother is still lying here with his head covered in blood!" The leader of the trouble shouted in dissatisfaction with his eyes red with anger. “Quiet!”
The man jumped off the horse and came to a few people. The gangsters immediately shrank their necks in fear and did not dare to speak anymore.
No matter how arrogant they usually are, they have never faced people from the county government so directly, and now they are trembling with fear.
Only Jiang Wei, with his back straight, faced the man and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask these people who come to buy ice cream how these gangsters made trouble and smashed my stall."
The man turned his attention to the crowd of onlookers: "Is this true?"
Although people were very afraid of the people from the county government, they still nodded in fear when they saw this.
Several women who often come to buy ice cream bravely stood up and said: "Sir, you have to be aware of everything. Mrs. Jiang's business is doing well, but it's those local ruffians who come up to destroy the stall without saying a word. It's true." hateful!"
"Smelly bitch, are you going to die?" When the troublemakers saw someone coming forward to identify them, they immediately issued a vicious warning.
The women were frightened and quickly retreated back into the crowd.
"Sir, no matter how you say it, she killed my eldest brother and she wanted to pay for it with her own life. You must make the decision for us!" the leader of the trouble said again.
He obviously also knew that he was unreasonable in this matter, and could only blame the mother and daughter's crimes on murder for life.
Jiang Wei had a cold face, glanced sideways at the man who was unconscious on the ground, and said, "Who said he is dead?"
Although she gave the man a blow, she controlled the force and only knocked him out without causing any harm.
Of course, if she were a person, she would definitely not show mercy.
Jiang Wei gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a look, and Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately understood. He walked towards the man on the ground with his short legs, took out the water bag from his waist and poured it in front of the man's face.
The water in the water bag is the water released by her supernatural power, and it is cool and cold.
As soon as the water was poured down, the man on the ground was so excited that he opened his eyes. The water poured into his nose. He coughed violently and sat up from the ground. His expression seemed to be a little dazed, but the huge pain on his head made him quickly Realize what happened.
The gangsters who were making trouble nearby were also confused: "Brother, why did you wake up?"
He suffered such a big blow and lost so much blood that he fainted. Why did he wake up as soon as a handful of water was poured on him?
How can they continue to fool around with this?
Jiang Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, thinking that the water released by her superpower was almost catching up with the legendary spiritual spring water.
"Now that everyone is awake, what else do you have to say?" The man in official uniform said softly.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. They immediately knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Spare your life, sir! We were also forced, and we didn't mean to cause trouble!"
