Chapter 303 (1/2)

”Bai you, you say that Baijia village is rich in such beads, and the village head won't let them come out?”

Mi you Ning nodded in bewilderment. ”Yes, once, because a man took pearl out of the village, he was killed alive.”

When magistrate Li heard of the death, he looked more serious. ”How did you kill him? Why didn't anyone report it?”

Mi you Ning continued with some helplessness: ”that family is too poor. My son wants to sell the beads secretly to help his family.

But I didn't expect to be caught as soon as I left the village.

The head of the village called the whole village to watch, and we watched helplessly as the man was killed. ”

What mi you Ning said is the truth, and this matter has something to do with magistrate Li.

Of course, magistrate Li is just the cannon fodder for this matter.

Magistrate Li's face was angry. ”How can it be? Is there any royal law? Do you just watch that man be killed alive?”

Miyuning showed a look of grievance and innocence, ”but the village head warned us that even if we report to the official, it's useless. The village head's family has something to do with Governor Zhou.”

When he heard the name of the enemy again, magistrate Li frowned.

He looked down at the beads in his hand, his face thoughtful.

This matter can be big or small, and even involves governor Zhou, who is his immediate superior.

The two families have long been unhappy with each other.

Governor Zhou has been suppressing him for so many years, always trying to find out some of his little tails.

Unfortunately, he has been an official for many years and has never done anything to harm the people.

Governor Zhou was different. He secretly took bribes and bought and sold official positions.

It's not that he didn't want to report it to the imperial court. Unfortunately, there was someone behind governor Zhou.

He is not a magistrate at all.

Now, however, there is governor Zhou's figure in this matter, which shows that there must be more tricky in it.

Magistrate Li pondered for a while and looked at his daughter, ”gladly, father Zhu will keep it for you first. Don't talk about it to the outside in the future. It can be big or small.”
