Chapter 136 How can a woman be a county magistrate?

Xia Qingqing stepped forward and said, "Master Liu is here and won't treat them harshly. The case will be tried tomorrow, and everyone will have to go to court then."

Qingfeng also nodded, appeared in front of everyone, and said: "I heard that Governor Liu is fair and strict, don't worry."

"Tiezhu, you should go back quickly," Xu Xiuxiu hurried over and said, "Your mother's health has been getting worse since we last heard from you. Now your father has been arrested, and her condition has gotten even worse. You should go back quickly."

"Hey."

Tiezhu quickly turned and left. Xia Qingqing turned to look at Qingfeng. Qingfeng nodded and immediately followed him, leading the horse and shouting, "I'll take you back."

Huo Gang and Huo An comforted the villagers, and after everyone left, they went into the house with their family.

Xia Xiaoniu and Huo Shuang'er hugged Xia Qingqing tightly, tears in their eyes, and they were crying uncontrollably.

"Okay," Xia Qingqing patted the two people's heads and said, "I brought you a lot of things this time."

Qingfeng brought the things in. Xia Qingqing turned around and asked, "Mulan has gone home, don't you want to go out and play?"

"I, I forget it." Qingfeng's face looked a little heavy. Where else could he go now?

"You've been staying at Ning Yu's place for so long, you must have a lot of friends. It would be nice to go see them and let them know you're safe."

Qingfeng nodded, turned and left.

Huo An looked at Qingfeng driving away in the carriage and asked, "Why did you chase him away? He seemed unhappy."

"Brother, you have no say in this matter," Xia Qingqing said with a smile, "He also bought a lot of things when he came back. I think they were for Ning Yu and the girls from Fengqi Pavilion."

"Oh?" Huo An raised his eyebrows. He really hadn't noticed this because he was helping buy things for his family and didn't pay attention to others.

"Shuang'er, little girl, these hair flowers and hairpins are for you two," Xia Qingqing took out two small jewelry boxes and said, "This jewelry box, one for each of you."

Everyone in the family laughed. Xu Xiuxiu said, "Qingqing, Shuang'er is so young, why are you spending so much money to buy her this?"

Huo Shuang'er immediately hugged the box and said with her mouth raised, "I'm a big kid now!"

……

After distributing the gifts to everyone, Xia Qingqing looked at Ding and Huo Gang: "Dad, Mom, I went to Fengyang City and saw Yihan. He is doing well. Don't worry."

"Hey! As long as you're safe."

The old couple didn't ask anything, they just wanted to know that he was safe.

"Lily, go and take a look. Why do I feel like Tiezhu is back?" Hua leaned on the kang, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in her dead eyes.

Lily took one look at Hua's haggard appearance and fell down with a snap.

Hua is the most beautiful woman in the whole village. In just a few days, she has a lot of white hair, her face has lost its luster, and she has aged visibly.

She felt so heartbroken watching this, because this was her mother-in-law who raised her.

"Mom, I asked, and Tiezhu will be back in the next few days," Lily wiped her tears and sat down on the kang with the medicine. "You drink this medicine first, I'll go check on him."

"I don't know if your father is eating well in prison. Will they beat him?"

Thinking of this, Hua's heart ached. She immediately sat up, pushed away the medicine in front of her, and said excitedly, "No, I want to go to the prison and take a look. That County Magistrate Wang is not a good man. He will definitely beat your father!"

"Mom, please don't be like this." The medicine in Lily's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and tears suddenly flowed down her face. "Lily, please, take good care of yourself..."

"Lily, don't cry..."

When Hua saw Lily crying, she felt panicked and started crying too.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly, as if they had to cry out all the grievances they had suffered in recent days before they could feel relieved.

"Mother! Mother!"

Tiezhu's voice came again. Hua shook her head and said, "Look, I hear Tiezhu calling me again. I am sick."

Lily was suddenly stunned. She turned around and saw Tiezhu pushing the door open. The moment she saw him, she couldn't stand on her feet.

"Mom, Lily, I'm back!"

Tiezhu smelled the medicinal aroma as he entered the room. Seeing the two people's dazed expressions, he immediately stepped forward, took their hands, and said quickly, "It's true, I'm back."

"And let me tell you, Dad's problem has also been resolved!"

"Wang Pingzhi has been arrested by Governor Liu and will be tried tomorrow. He oppressed the people and will definitely be punished by the court!"

Tiezhu helped the two of them sit down on the kang as he spoke. He spoke a lot in one breath, and it took them a long time to react before they excitedly said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Xia Tiezhu put the bundle on the kang and said, "I brought you some gifts this time. Take a look..."

The next day, many people gathered at the gate of the county government office. When Xia Qingqing arrived, the court was already open.

"It's only been a short time since County Magistrate Wang arrived, but he's already made our county a mess. I don't know what's wrong with the old emperor's brain." A man angrily cursed the emperor who was far away in the palace.

As soon as this was said, many people began to agree.

"How can that high and mighty old emperor understand the suffering of us ordinary people? He only knows how to talk big."

"Isn't it? It was so good when County Magistrate Liang was here. He and Boss Xia solved our snowstorm problem together and even renovated the seafood market!"

A woman continued, "As a result, this bastard county magistrate came and arrested so many people. I heard that he almost beat the accountant of Mr. Xia to death!"

"Huh? So exaggerated?"

Everyone opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with disbelief.

At this time, a man in a purple robe outside the crowd couldn't help but cough and said, "These people actually dared to insult... the emperor. How audacious!"

An old servant bent over and immediately said with a smile: "Master, did you hear it wrong? He was scolding that corrupt official, Wang Pingzhi!"

The man snorted coldly and continued to watch the fun.

"If I were the emperor, I would make Xia Dongjia the county magistrate! He would definitely be better than anyone else."

A woman expressed her thoughts while holding her child, which immediately attracted a lot of ridicule.

"Oh my god! Women have long hair but little knowledge. Since ancient times, there has never been a woman serving as a county magistrate!" A scholar-like man, holding a folding fan, mocked the woman. "Let me explain to you all: only those who have passed the imperial examination can become a county magistrate."

"The old gentleman is quite right. A woman becoming a county magistrate is truly laughable," a man in his twenties agreed. "However, Mrs. Xia is a successful businessman. She's made a real difference to Qinghe Town and helped me, a jobless vagrant, earn quite a bit of money. I must thank her for that."
