Chunhua Town, Yangcun.

Qin Guanwen was sleeping soundly with Xiaolian in his arms, when the door to his room was suddenly kicked open.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Xiaolian next to him scream and burst into tears.

Then he was captured by several big men, tied up with a rope, and dragged outside.

Fortunately, it was winter now, so he put on his underwear after finishing his work, otherwise he would have been dragged away naked.

"Who are you?" Qin Guanwen shouted in panic, "I am Commissioner Qingzhang, do you know the consequences of attacking me?!"

No one paid attention to him at all. After he was pulled out of the alley, there were torches around him. A middle-aged man came over and pointed at him and cursed angrily: "Qin, you are a beast. I am so cooperative with you to clear your father-in-law's land."

, I treat you so well, and yet you sleep with my concubine! I want to sue you, and I want to sue you in Shangyuan Court!"

When Qin Guanwen heard the man say these words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and his mind went blank.

At this time, the noise woke up other people in the village, and many people came over carrying lanterns.

There are both people from the village and the Qingzhang commissioner who is temporarily staying in the village.

Chunhua Town is not far from Nanjing City and has the "Tiger Cave Mingxi" which is rated as one of the forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling. It also has other scenic spots such as Pearl Spring, Race Course, etc. It is a large town with a fairly developed economy.

Yangcun is located around the town. There are many houses in the village and the conditions are better than those in ordinary villages.

There are as many as two to three hundred households in the village.

Because there are many people, there is also a lot of work to clear the abbot. Qin Guanwen's team has been working here for five or six days.

Perhaps because he had heard about the harsh punishments meted out to those who blocked the Qingzhang team elsewhere, Yang Zhicai, the largest landowner in Yangcun, acted very cooperatively and treated the Qingzhang team very thoughtfully when he saw them.

In the team, some Qingzhang commissioners became more vigilant because of Yang Zhicai's abnormal behavior, but some also dropped their guard against Yang Zhicai because of this.

Qin Guanwen was the one who let down his guard the fastest.

But he never expected that something like this would happen within a few days...

"Yang Zhicai, attacking Commissioner Qingzhang is a serious crime and is punishable by confiscation and exile. Let Qin Guanwen go immediately!" Zheng Mingyou, the captain of the Qingzhang team, rushed over and shouted with a serious expression.

A group of imperial guards camped outside Yangcun also rushed over.

Although it was not a war, the Imperial Guards were still in their armor at night. At this time, they all carried swords and blunderbuss and were ready to fight.

"Let him go?" Yang Zhicai seemed to be full of anger, "Do you know what this beast did? He slept with my concubine!"

Qin Guanwen finally came to his senses at this time, and said excitedly with a flushed face: "What concubine? Didn't you say before that Xiaolian was a distant cousin who came to seek refuge with you, a widow?!"

After hearing what the two said, Zheng Mingyou frowned and shouted, "What's going on?"

Yang Zhiwen rushed to cry and said: "Captain Zheng, this Qin Guanwen is a beast. I saw that he has been working hard these days to clear the land for the villagers. In addition, I had a good conversation with him a few days ago, so I gave him a banquet.

A meal.

Unexpectedly, after the banquet, he insisted on Xiaolian sending him back to his residence to rest. Although I was reluctant, I did not dare to offend the commissioner of the Qing Dynasty, so I could only ask Xiaolian to send him off.

As a result, after Xiaolian left, I waited and waited for no one to come back. Knowing that something must have happened to Xiaolian, I sent my servants to search around the village in advance, but couldn't find anyone, so I went to Qin Guanwen's residence to look for him. Who knew that something had happened to Xiaolian?

The beast turned out to be..."

At this point, Yang Zhicai couldn't speak anymore and his face was filled with anger.

Qin Guanwen became even more excited and shouted: "Nonsense! You have wronged me! It was you who said Xiaolian was a widow, and it was you who persuaded me to get drunk and asked Xiaolian to give it to me.

Yesterday you also hinted that Xiaolian intended to marry me, and you were willing to match us up. Now you say that she is your concubine, and you are deliberately setting a trap to frame me! "

After Zheng Mingyou heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

Of course he was willing to believe Qin Guanwen - this man was actually an honest man who had read some books.

But so many people around him were watching and starting to talk about it, so he didn't just do whatever he wanted.

"Where is Xiaolian? Bring her here!" Zheng Mingyou can only hope to get the truth from Xiaolian.

Soon, a crying Xiaolian was brought over.

She was wearing clothes that were torn in some places, shivering in the cold wind, and there were some red marks on her exposed skin, as if she had just been raped by someone.

The people around him suddenly started talking——

"It's really Xiaolian. I met Mr. Yang when he married her. I didn't expect that she has become even more beautiful after two years of not seeing her."

"Looking at her like this, has she really been raped by Commissioner Qin?"

"It should be."

"This Commissioner Qingzhang is so overbearing. He even dares to sleep with Master Yang's concubine."

"What's there to be afraid of? Commissioner Qingzhang is responsible for re-dividing the fields. He will definitely sleep with whoever he wants."

"Old Yangtou, your granddaughter is so beautiful, don't let her hang out anymore, or she will be spotted by the commissioners."

“···”

When the people around him heard what they were talking about, they regarded Commissioner Qingzhang as a minor official who used to bully men and bully women. Other Commissioners Qingzhang became angry.

Some people wanted to scold the people and tell them to shut up or go home, but Zheng Mingyou stopped them.

Although Zheng Mingyou realized that Xiaolian was probably on Yang Zhicai's side, he still held out hope and asked: "Xiaolian, tell me, what is going on?"

Xiaolian wiped her tears and groaned: "Commissioner Qin was drunk. I sent him back to his residence, but he held me back and refused to let me go. He also threatened me, saying that if I didn't comply, he would sentence us to death. The family hinders Qingtian, wuwu..."

At the end of the story, Xiaolian didn't know what she was thinking of and started crying with sadness on her face.

It really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.

Qin Guanwen struggled and shouted: "Nonsense! Nonsense! It was obviously you who took the initiative!"

When Xiaolian heard this, she cried even harder.

She looked at Yang Zhicai and cried: "Master, I am dirty and unworthy of you and the Yang family. I can only repay my kindness in the next life."

After saying that, he ran straight to the pond not far away.

The pond is not very deep, but in the winter, if a thin woman like Xiaolian jumped in and took a dip, she would probably lose her life.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Mingyou hurriedly shouted: "Stop her! Stop her quickly!"

The people in the village seemed hesitant, but the Imperial Guards and other commissioners did not hesitate and immediately stopped Xiaolian.

Xiaolian struggled and cried, "Let me die, I have no shame to live anymore, wuwu..."

Seeing that the people around him looked at him even more strangely, Zheng Mingyou knew that no matter what the truth was, Qin Guanwen must be dealt with immediately.

Otherwise, the trust of the people in Yangcun and even Chunhua Town will collapse overnight.

From now on, any mistakes they make in their work to clear the husband will be magnified infinitely.

So he shouted again: "Come here, the people accompanying Mr. Yang will take Qin Guanwen to the Shangyuan County Court and let the court hear the case!"
