I heard my whole family are villains

Chapter 236 The Difference Between Officials
Just as Mu Yao expected.

The actions of the county magistrate made the landlords and gentry in the entire Pingyang area angry.

They stalled for time while trying to save themselves.

As for the master, it was no surprise that he was angered.

As soon as the Jiaoyu ordered the servants to inform the students to start classes, they heard the horrific wailing from the next door.

"Shumo, go and inquire about the situation."

"Yes!"

After a cup of tea, Shumo came back with obvious surprise and bewilderment.

"what's the situation?"

"Master, master's son, his arms were all cut off!"

"All?" The master hissed and gasped, "All six sons suffered?"

"Yes," Shumo explained in a low voice, "Master's house was ransacked by refugees before, and if this happens again, I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future!"

"Seriously hurt?"

"The whole arm is cut off, unless the gods come down to earth, it will never be perfect!"

After listening, the teaching was calm on the surface, but the hands behind his back were trembling violently, "What did he do that is so outrageous?"

"The villain listened in the yard for a while, and seemed to have something to do with the county magistrate."

After listening, Jiaoyu immediately thought of the reason, "It's what I deserve!"

As a local, but helping a foreign county magistrate fish and meat people, if you don't retaliate, who will you retaliate against?
"Master doesn't know about this yet. It is said that someone has been sent to the county government office to notify," Shumo said, hesitant to speak, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Master, will this happen to our family?"

"Of course not," Jiaoyu didn't want to deny it, "The old man didn't join forces with the county magistrate!"

"That's good!"

The county government, when the master heard this, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

It took half an hour for the doctor to inject the needle before he woke up.

However, in such a short period of time, he was more than ten years old.

"Boss, they really had their arms broken?"

He grabbed the boy with all his strength and asked without giving up.

"The six young masters are all the same. They lost their right arm. Madam asked the villain to come over and ask you to find a way to catch the murderer."

As the second-in-command, master is always supported by others wherever he goes, and so are his family members.

They never dreamed that they would encounter such a disaster.

"Is it Mu Qiguang?"

Without thinking, this sentence blurted out.

After finishing speaking, he felt wrong again, "If this guy really has such abilities, why would he let others bully him!"

"Who on earth is it?"

Master racked his brains to think about the person he offended recently.

However, I have no clue for a long time.

"Master," the servant reminded, "The places where the young masters were murdered are all places where they usually spend their time. Only people who are very familiar with it know that the perpetrator must not be an outsider!"

"Not an outsider?" The master suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be those country gentry?"

He subconsciously didn't want to believe it.

These people are as gentle as lambs, why did they suddenly raise the butcher's knife?
How dare they?
The master gritted his teeth in hatred.

The master, who had always been aloof, couldn't bear this kind of gap, and sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the boy's face.

Then, without accident, he passed out again.

In the back hall, the county magistrate also heard this, and his whole body stiffened, "There are troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers, go, and send a message to the old lady, telling them not to come back for a while, wait until the official has finished taking care of these untouchables!"

"Yes."

The yamen servant bowed his hands and withdrew respectfully, but just two steps away, he was stopped by the county magistrate again.

"and many more!"

"What else does your lord want?"

"Don't worry about the old lady's side, call all the yamen servants to protect me personally!"

"Follow, follow orders!"

"Also, let Li Hua go to Luo'an Town to see what Mu Qiguang is doing."

Like the master, he also suspected that Mu Yao was playing tricks in the dark.

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

After Mu Yao finished writing a hundred large characters, he was just about to relax for a while when he saw Li Hua.

In an instant, his mood sank visibly to the naked eye.

"Brother Li, why are you here when you are free?"

"Something happened to the master's house, and the arms of the six young masters were all cut off by the gangsters."

After speaking, he carefully observed Mu Yao's reaction.

"How many sons does Master have in total?"

"Just these six!"

Hearing this, Mu Yao was finally surprised, "Who did it so hard?"

It was thrown away in one pot!
"Not you?"

Li Hua frowned.

Like the county magistrate and master, he is also very afraid of Mu Yao.

"Are you kidding me?" Mu Yao didn't take the blame, "I haven't gone out since I got home, I've been staying at home reading and practicing calligraphy!"

"Why didn't you go out?" Li Hua expressed his doubts, "Could it be that you deliberately cleared the suspicion?"

Hearing this, Mu Yao immediately understood that the visitor was not kind.

"Brother Li, are you going to pin this shit on my head today, right?"

"Of course not, I just want you to give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Why?" Mu Yao's face was ugly, and his tone was not as polite as before, "There are so many people in Pingyang, why don't you ask others? Why do you want to catch me?"

"You have a reason, others don't!"

"What reason?"

"Of course it was before"

Halfway through the speech, under Mu Yao's half-smiling gaze, Li Hua finally realized that he must not admit that he intentionally forced people to die.

Now, shut up.

"If there is evidence, even if Mu is taken to jail, there will be no complaints, but," Mu Yao's eyes turned cold, "if I just want to find fault, I will not be easy to bully of!"

"You misunderstood." The inexplicable oppression made Li Hua unconsciously feel guilty, "I just want to find the murderer."

"Then I wish Brother Li his wish as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Mu Yao closed the door to see off the guests.

"Is this man sick?" Su Dai complained helplessly, "The crime happened in the county seat, and he went to Luo'an Town to find the murderer, are you sure his head wasn't trapped by the door?"

"Because of a guilty conscience," Mu Yao understood Li Hua's feelings very well, "I'm also afraid that I will be the next one to have an accident."

"Those squires shouldn't be so cruel, right?"

"It's hard to say," Mu Yao guessed, resting his chin, "If the county magistrate refuses to stop, the situation will only get worse!"

"Why did they take the master first?" Su Dai really couldn't figure it out. "The county magistrate is the culprit. Doing so is putting the cart before the horse."

"First of all, the county magistrate is an official and the master is an official. The status of the two is very different, and the price they pay after hurting someone is also different; secondly, the master acts safely, but his family members are arrogant and domineering, and have offended many people unintentionally; finally , and the most important point, the master is one of his own and the county magistrate is an outsider, it is understandable for outsiders to play tricks, but it is not worthy of forgiveness for one's own people to do evil."

"That's true!"

After finishing speaking, Su Dai suddenly thought of something, "It's been two days, how come the county magistrate hasn't found out that the taxes and grains have disappeared?"

"You forgot, they don't have a key!"

"Slamming on the door without a key," Su Dai really couldn't understand, "What's the use of pretending to be quail all the time?"
