After hearing the villagers' words, a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at the villagers, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, but I will work harder to prevent such things from happening again." His eyes became more resolute.

Xi Yu looked at the people still surrounding him and said gently: "Everyone should disperse, let's go and do their own business." After hearing this, the people slowly dispersed.

Then, Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu, and the two walked into the room together.

As soon as he entered the house, Tuoba Yu couldn't help frowning and asked in confusion: "Husband, don't we still want to stay here? Are we still going to find someone who is proficient in history?" Tuoba Yu's eyes were full of confusion.

Xi Yu looked firm and said seriously: "Tuoba Yu, the affairs of the people are more important. Let's deal with this matter first."

Tuoba Yu wanted to say something, but when he saw Xi Yu's resolute expression, he had to nod.

Xi Yu continued, "I also have to arrange for the secret guards to go to the temple to find Ouyang Linlin and tell her about the matter here."

Then, Xi Yu arranged it.

Afterwards, he sat on the chair, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

The county magistrate and Li were escorted and imprisoned in a prison, and the dark and damp cell was filled with a decadent atmosphere.

Several yamen runners in charge of escort stood outside the cell, with complex expressions on their faces.

One of the yamen runners frowned, his eyes full of disbelief, and murmured to himself: "I really didn't expect that the county magistrate, who is usually majestic, would be imprisoned in this prison today."

He shook his head, as if he had not yet come back to his senses from the shock.

Another yamen runner sighed and said, "Oh, who would have thought that in the past, the county magistrate tried others, but now it is his turn to be locked up." His eyes fell on the county magistrate's down-and-out figure, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

Another yamen runner had a serious expression and was silent for a long time before speaking: "It's also his fault that he committed too many crimes, embezzled and accepted bribes, and he deserved such a consequence."

His words were filled with emotion and condemnation.

They stood there, their mood could not be calm for a long time, as if everything that happened in front of them was as illusory as a dream, and the dejected appearance of the county magistrate and Li Zheng were deeply imprinted in their minds.

Several yamen runners came to the county magistrate's home in a fierce manner.

When the county magistrate's wife learned that the yamen runners were here to search the house, she immediately widened her eyes and looked disbelief, and then she started to make a big fuss on the ground as if she was crazy.

She disheveled her hair, her face pale, and she cried: "You can't do this! No!"

While crying, she rushed towards one of the yamen runners, grabbed the legs of the yamen runners tightly, and said in tears: "Please, my master is very good to you. Please open your mouth! open your mouth!"

Her eyes were filled with despair and prayer, and tears flowed from her face.

The yamen runner who was caught in his leg looked embarrassed. He frowned, trying to break free but felt a little reluctant, so he could only say helplessly: "Madam, this is not something we can decide! This is the Prime Minister's order. How dare we disobey?"

His face was full of bitterness, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The yamen runners looked at each other. Although they felt a little unbearable, they knew that things had come to this point and could not be saved. They gritted their teeth and began to search the house.

"Be careful, don't miss anything!" a yamen runner shouted in a low voice.

They rushed into various rooms, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for valuable items.

Seeing this, the county magistrate's wife suddenly seemed crazy. She rushed forward with her hair disheveled, blocking the way of the yamen runners, and cursing constantly: "You unscrupulous things! I won't let you succeed!"

Her eyes were wide open and her face was twisted, like a shrew.

"Get out of here!" she shouted with a loud voice, waving her arms to try to stop the yamen runners from acting.

A yamen runner was scratched by her, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on his face. He shouted angrily: "Madam, stop making trouble! This is the Prime Minister's order. If we don't do it, our heads will not be guaranteed!"

"I care about you prime minister! I only know that you can't touch my things!" The county magistrate's wife ignored it and continued to make a frantically, her voice sharp and harsh, echoing throughout the house.

The other yamen runners avoided the attack of the county magistrate's wife and continued to search the house. The scene was in chaos, and the county magistrate's wife's crying never stopped for a long time.

The county magistrate's wife was crazy about making trouble in the house. She rushed towards the yamen runner and rushed towards the other, constantly shouting and cursing: "You who have been killed thousands of times will not die well!"

The yamen runners were embarrassed by her, but they did not dare to be too tough on her, so they could only try their best to avoid her sharpness.

One of the yamen runners looked helpless and shouted loudly: "Madam, be calm, we are also on orders. If the task is not completed, the Prime Minister will blame us and we will not have any good results!"

The county magistrate’s wife could not hear it. She cried: “I don’t care! I don’t care about anything! If you dare to touch my things today, I will fight you!”

As she said that, she picked up a vase and acted to smash it at the yamen runners.

At this time, the leading yamen runner's face darkened and he said sternly: "Madam, if you do this again, don't blame us for being rude!" However, the county magistrate's wife was not afraid at all and still did her own thing.

Just in this chaos, a yamen runner found a box of currency in his room, and he shouted, "Come on, you've found it here!"

Other yamen runners surrounded him, and the county magistrate's wife rushed over like crazy when she saw this, trying to protect the box, "Don't move! That's mine!"

The yamen runners didn't care about her, and they worked together to pull the county magistrate's wife and quickly carried the box out.

The county magistrate's wife collapsed to the ground and cried at the top of her lungs. The miserable voice echoed in the house for a long time.
