Chapter 103: The Local Magistrate2

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… …”
