Cui Li was sitting on the bullock cart dejectedly.
Cui Minglin also drooped his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Mo Jiuye thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so she planned to pass by them quickly so that she could avoid making any excuses.
Unexpectedly, when the bullock cart passed by them, Cui Minglin looked up and saw Mo Jiuye.
Cui Minglin asked loudly: "Why are you here? Are you here to see my cousin's joke?"
Cui Lizheng and several other Cui family members on the oxcart also saw Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
Everyone's eyes fell on them.
A Cui family member who looked a little unfamiliar asked: "Brother Lin, isn't this the exiled prisoner who was assigned to our Xiling Village yesterday?"
This person's tone was obviously very disdainful towards Mo Jiuye and his wife. They have now arrived in the northwest and are no longer exiled prisoners.
Except that they cannot leave Yuncheng without authorization, they are no different from these common people.
Mo Jiuye glanced at the man with cold eyes and said nothing.
The person who spoke was instantly shuddered by the cold light.
He also heard that the exiled prisoners who came this time were very bad-tempered, and the Li Zheng family could not get any benefits.
However, in his heart, the momentum of the Cui family cannot be lost. Otherwise, how will the Cui family gain a foothold in Xiling Village in the future?
Thinking of this, the man jumped off the bullock cart, pointed at Mo Jiuye and shouted:
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll dig out your eyes."
For such a person, Mo Jiuye didn't bother to waste any words.
There was only a "snap" sound, and the driver's whip hit the man hard.
When Cui Lizheng saw that his tribe wanted to fight Mo Jiuye, he planned to stop him, but his movements were not as fast as the young man's.
Seeing Mo Jiuye raise the whip in his hand, he reminded loudly: "Cui Liang, get out of the way."
As a result, his reminder was still too slow, and the whip had already hit Cui Liang hard.
For a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round, even if this whip is not integrated into the internal force, the force it hits on people is incomparable.
Cui Liang screamed in pain: "Ah... How dare you take action in broad daylight? Is there any way to do this?"
Mo Jiuye sneered: "You still know the king's law?
Your Cui family, relying on a relative who is the county magistrate, why didn't you teach the king's laws when you were running rampant in Xiling Village?"
At this time, there were already many spectators around.
They didn't know the relationship between the two parties in the quarrel. Even so, they could tell that it was the people on the oxcart who provoked the first.
You don't need to think about it to know that such people usually bully others.
Therefore, when Cui Liang mentioned Wang Fa and was scolded by Mo Jiuye again, the onlookers all laughed.
Cui Liang was not convinced, pointed at Mo Jiuye and shouted: "If you beat someone on the street, I will go to the government to sue you."
Mo Jiuye sneered: "I heard that the county magistrate of your Cui family was seriously injured. Can he still take care of you at this time?"
Hearing this, Cui Liang suddenly felt a little unsure.
It happened that at this time, several officials had just come out of Cui's house. Cui Liang rolled his eyes and ran over quickly.
He pointed in the direction of Mo Jiuye and said to the official: "Have you seen that person? I suspect that he hurt the county magistrate. Please arrest him quickly."
When they heard that the person who stabbed the county magistrate appeared, several officials raised their weapons and surrounded Mo Jiuye.
When Cui Liang saw that Mo Jiuye was about to become deflated, he immediately showed a wicked smile.
Officials surrounded the mule cart, and someone recognized Mo Jiuye at a glance.
Yesterday when they were at the government office, the Mo family did not give Cui County Prime Minister any face, so they were extremely impressed by Mo Jiuye.
If you think about it carefully, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are grudged by Cui Xiancheng who made things difficult for them yesterday. He really had the motive of hurting others.
Thinking of this, the official said loudly: "You will follow me to the Yamen now to cooperate with the investigation."
Mo Jiuye didn't move at all.
"What have I done that requires me to cooperate with the investigation?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I suspect you are the one who hurt the county magistrate." The official couldn't tell the difference, and he would arrest the person if he came forward.
Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran and nimbly ducked to the side, easily dodging the officer's outstretched hand.
When the officer saw this, he was furious: "You are so bold, you dare to evade arrest, your crime will be increased."
He knew Mo Jiuye's past identity. Someone who had led troops on the battlefield must be very skilled. Although he had a tough tone, he did not dare to take action rashly again.
Mo Jiuye's face was completely dark at this moment.
He first glared at the Cui family, then looked at the official and asked in a deep voice:
"So-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods, what evidence do you have to conclude that I am the one who harmed Cui County Cheng?"
In fact, the official did not suspect Mo Jiuye at all.
Cui Xiancheng said that there were five people who committed the crime last night, and all of them had their faces covered.
He also saw the people from the Mo family who came yesterday. There were only two men and the rest were women. It was impossible for five people to come together to commit the murder.
However, the county magistrate is chasing him closely and must find the murderer within three days.
You don't need to think about it to know that those five people who dared to sneak into an official's home late at night to commit murder cannot be ordinary people.
To catch such a person, let alone three days, I'm afraid even if you give them three years, you won't be able to catch them.
Therefore, the official wanted to catch a few scapegoats and settle the case as soon as possible.
Now that they saw Mo Jiuye, they had such thoughts.
Not to mention how many men there are in the Mo family, just because they had an unpleasant quarrel with Cui Xian Cheng yesterday, they could use this as an excuse to arrest them.
When they get to the government, they won't be able to tolerate whether they plead guilty or not. In this way, the case can be concluded earlier.
Mo Jiuye had already seen through the thoughts of these officials. How could he comply with their wishes?
Officials arrest people because they have impure intentions. Where can there be any evidence?
Looking at the few officials behind him who were with him, there were only four of them in total. I'm afraid there was no confidence in dealing with such people who had been on the battlefield.
Just as the officers were thinking about countermeasures, another group of officers came running from the other end of the street.
There seemed to be at least six or seven people in that team, and together they could reach more than ten people.
The officer suddenly gained confidence and shouted to his running companions: "Run faster, the person who hurt the county magistrate last night is here."
Unexpectedly, the officials who rushed over did not help arrest Mo Jiuye, but instead informed the other party breathlessly.
"Quick, go back to the Yamen now, the new county magistrate has arrived."
The news was quite sudden. The official who wanted to catch Mo Jiuye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he called the people behind him and ran to the county office, not caring about Mo Jiuye at all.
When the onlookers heard that a new county magistrate had arrived in Yuncheng, they also ran over to watch the excitement.
It suddenly became deserted here.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran also wanted to see who the new county magistrate was. However, before leaving here, they had to deal with these reckless Cui family members.
Mo Jiuye once again picked up the whip used to drive the cart and walked slowly towards the ox cart where the Cui family was riding.
