The next morning, just right after dawn, Bai Zhi has already washed . And Village Chief Li’s oxcart has been waiting outside the Hu Family’s house .
Zhao Lan was somewhat worried . After all, the place Bai Zhi will go was strict and she was only a little girl . If she was bullied, how can she save her?
Zhao Lan looked for Hu Feng and asked him to accompany Bai Zhi .
Hu Feng agreed, however, when he was about to climb the oxcart, Bai Zhi pulled him down: “I don’t need you to go with me, I can do it myself . ”
Hu Feng raised an eyebrow, as he looked at her in silence .
Bai Zhi added: “If we are not here and the Bai Family came, they might cause trouble again . But if you’re here, they will be scared to cause trouble . Just protect my niang for me . ”
So originally it was for this reason, Hu Feng nodded his head and said: “Mmm . ”
Village Chief Li, who was driving the oxcart said: “This Bai family is really wicked . You already separated from them, but they still don’t want to let you go . I also better give them a good teaching, so that they won’t do it again in the future . ”
Bai Zhi nodded: “Who said we won’t, if we don’t resist, they will only think that we are easy to be bullied . We have to use iron fist for people like them . Otherwise, they will only cause endless trouble . ” As their days get better and better, with the Bai Family’s character, if they will not subdue them sooner, they will only cause trouble every day .
The oxcart drives Bai Zhi all the way to the town . Village Chief Li knew she was in a hurry, so he didn’t even care to drink water . He just rushed his ox, hoping to get to the government office as soon as possible .
Although they left early, the distance between Huangtou Village to the government office was too big . Even if they left 3 o’clock in the morning, it was nearly 9 o’clock in the morning when they arrived .
After thinking about it, Bai Zhi wanted to buy a horse . It was too hustle to use an oxcart . If they encounter an emergency, she was sure that the patient will die due to the delay .
Just like what she had seen on the TV, there were two public officers dressed in red and black stripes, standing in front of a majestic mansion .
“What do you want?” The public servant, who’s one hand was on the sword and other hand was on his waist, looked at Bai Zhi coldly .
Bai Zhi doesn’t know the rules in the government office, so she just simply put a smile and said: “Daren, I came from the Huangtou Village . Some people in our village framed my niang and I, for stealing 30 silver coins . I want to complain and seek justice, but I don’t know what to do?”
The public servant looked at Bai Zhi from head to toe . Today, Bai Zhi was wearing a pair of blue coarse clothes . Although the coarse clothes are only worn by poor people, it fits perfectly to Bai Zhi . Her dress from top to bottom was new, she doesn’t look like a thief .
What’s more, who’s thief will dare to go to the government office to complain?
The public servant opened his mouth and said: “Come with me, I will take you to see the local magistrate . ”
Bai Zhi repeatedly thanked the public servant, then she entered the government gate with him .
The government office was not very big, it was only divided into a front yard and a backyard . The front yard was the local magistrate’s office, while the backyard was the local magistrate resting place . In the front yard, the local magistrate also had a private and separate place . Or more likely, a private courtyard .
The so-called private courtyard was actually an independent house with a small courtyard . A guard with a sword was standing in the courtyard and staring at the sky, but as soon as he heard footsteps, he looked at towards the door .
“Is there something?” The guard asked the public servant .
The public servant busily said: “Jin Shiwei, this little girl came to report a case . ”
Jin Shiwei raised an eyebrow and showed an unpleasant look in his face: “Are you still not clear who should you report to? Why did you come here?”
The public servant replied: “Yesterday, Gu Daren said, aside from emergency cases, the rest of the case will be passed to the local magistrate, so this small servant is… …”
