The peasant widow is famous all over the world

The old patriarch immediately responded: "Back to the county magistrate, Zhang Zhiyuan is a scholar in Yunzhong Village. He came to ask for Mian Niang's marriage a few days ago and was rejected. I think he was unhappy because of this, so he instigated Lu Changxing to go with him. Li Hu conspired to cause trouble for Mian Niang."

Lu Zheng was furious after hearing this. How could there be such a person?Fortunately, he is still a scholar, but he has no magnanimity.

Yu Mingzhi also frowned, "If this is really the case, Zhang Zhiyuan is definitely not a good match."

Lu Guang and others all agreed, "Before, we all thought Zhang Xiucai looked pretty good, but we never thought he was such a person. Fortunately, Mianniang did not agree to his proposal, otherwise Mianniang's happiness would be worrying for the rest of her life!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Changxing was a little panicked after hearing what the old patriarch said. He was stunned for a moment and then retorted loudly, "I didn't conspire with Li Hu, I didn't. The idea to deal with Tang Mian came from Li Hu and Wu San. I just followed their orders." That’s all.”

Everyone in the hall turned to look at him, and Yu Mingzhi said coldly: "That means the injury to my sister is related to you."

Lu Changxing was really panicked now. Why did he admit it so quickly?

"Big, my lord, I, I."

Yu Mingzhi interrupted him with a cold face, "Since you are involved in this matter, then go and keep company with Li Hu and others. As for whether there is collusion, I will decide for myself after the trial."

After finishing his words, he raised his voice and shouted: "Li Yi."

"Sir." Soon, Li Yi, who was standing not far outside the hall, walked in.

Yu Mingzhi looked at him and said seriously, "Take Lu Changxing down and lock him up, and take him with you when you return to the county town."

"Yes." Li Yi answered with cupped hands, stepped forward, lifted Lu Changxing up and took him out of the main room.

Lu Changxing tried hard to break free from Li Yi's grasp, but he, a country boy who was usually lazy, was no match for a government official. He could only shout in panic, "Sir, I really didn't conspire with them. I didn't mean it. It’s all Zhang Zhiyuan’s instigation, please don’t arrest me.”

A loud voice faintly reached the door.

"Hey, did you hear Lu Changxing's voice? He seemed to say that Zhang Zhiyuan ordered him to do something?"

"I heard it. I don't know what Lu Changxing did this time. Even the county magistrate came to deal with him."

"I think it's probably related to Tang Mian."

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that this guess was quite accurate.

Zhang Lanhua, who was following, heard that Lu Changxing had been arrested. She immediately panicked and rushed through the door.

"Son!" As soon as he rushed into the yard, he saw Li Yi grabbing Lu Changxing's arm and tying him with a rope.

"Let go of my son!"

Zhang Lanhua rushed over quickly, trying to knock Li Yi away.

"Mother." Lu Changxing cried and called Zhang Lanhua, as if he saw hope.

Sure enough, only his mother would care about him at this time.

Zhang Lanhua's screaming voice attracted everyone inside and outside the room.

Lu Zhian and Lu Dashan ran to the yard faster than everyone else, separating Zhang Lanhua and Lu Changxing.

"Auntie, Lu Changxing committed a crime. His arrest was ordered by the county magistrate. Do you want to stop the officials from handling the case?" Lu Zhian frowned and said in a deep voice.

"What can my son do?" Zhang Lanhua yelled without any guilt, glaring fiercely at Lu Zhian, "Did you frame my son?"

"Whether it was a frame-up or not, the county magistrate will find out on his own." Before Lu Zhian could speak, Li Yi, who had tied up Lu Changxing, raised his head and said to Zhang Lanhua. (End of chapter)
