Chapter 699
When Yao Huahua made gestures, she secretly glanced at women A and B, and found that woman A was just shocked, while woman B subconsciously glanced at her arm.

Yao Huahua immediately pointed at Woman B and said, "Diao Fu, you stole the duck, why don't you admit it quickly!"

"I, why do you say it's me?" Woman B asked.

"I made up the duck plague story, but you glanced at your own arm. Was it you or who? You've obviously been eating duck recently!" Yao Huahua said righteously.

"I, I ate it, but I didn't eat her duck, I ate my own duck."

Woman A immediately scolded: "Your family doesn't raise ducks at all. If you don't eat ducks from my family or whose family?"

"I eat my relative's!" Woman B continued to argue.

Yin Zhixian sat in the county yamen and listened to the two women arguing for a long time. Now that someone finally came to help him decide the case, how could he give woman B a chance to argue again, so he slapped the gavel and shouted: "Bold Diaofu, you are the one who stole the duck and you are still sophistrying, this judge will order you to pay two taels of silver, and then you will fight against the top ten boards!"

……

On the carriage to Wu Village, Yin Zhixian kept praising Yao Huahua, saying that Yao Huahua was so smart that he solved the case so quickly.

Yao Huahua asked him, "If I don't come, what are you going to do with it?"

"Naturally, it's adjourned for retrial. Let them make trouble every day. After a few more days, they won't be bothered to come. After all, the family still has a lot of work to do, and it won't last," Yin Zhixian said.

Yao Huahua: "..."

Yao Huahua patted her chest, trying to resist the urge to get angry.

Wu Village is more than ten miles east of Lincheng.

Because there is a big river near here, and the river narrows after flowing through Wu village, so the water rises every summer, and floods occur every year. The local residents report the disaster every year, but no one cares about it.

Firstly, building dams requires money, and Lincheng is already poor, so there is no such expenditure.

Second, the construction of the dikes required the use of nearby land, and those lands belonged to the gentry, and they refused to give them up, even if they had funds, the repairs could not be completed.

The roads in Wu Village are not easy to walk. Many places are mountain roads, and only one carriage can pass by. Because they are worried about safety, they have to get out of the car and walk across several sections of the road.

As a result, when they arrived at Wu Village, it was almost dark.

The village head of Wu Village knew in advance that the county magistrate was coming, so he waited at the entrance of the village in advance, it is said that he waited from noon to night.

Because the village chief was poor, the villagers kept complaining, so he looked miserable, and the facial features on his face formed the word embarrassing.

When the village chief saw a group of people coming, he quickly arranged for them to live in his house. His house was the best in the village, but it looked dilapidated.

Yinzhi County began to dislike the environment here from halfway, all the way to the village, and now at the village chief's house, looking at a big table with only a little bit of meat on the middle plate of fried winter melon with bacon, and he didn't even want to eat eat.

But Yao Huahua is different, she has always been very easy-going.

Hearing that she is the general's wife, the local villagers treated her even more enthusiastically, complaining to her one after another:

"A few days ago there was a mudslide in the mountains. Some villagers died and many were homeless. Now those who stay are also poor. This meal is already the best meal in our village. We usually can't eat enough. Food..."

"Our place is poor, but our roots are here. If we go out, we may only be a homeless man. The whole family is here. It is impossible to drag the family out to be a beggar, right?"

"It's just..."
