The Farmer's Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket - Chapter 1877: County Magistrate Mao Is Caught
"Grandpa, youโre so thoughtful," Gu Yundong said with a smile.
Yang Zhifu turned to look at her and laughed. "You are so smart." ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐๐๐.๐๐ ๐
The two soon forgot about Yang Wenli and started chatting about other things. While talking, they cleaned up the vegetable field.
After lunch, Yang Zhifu planned to send the basket of fresh vegetables to his neighborโs house.
On Chengโan Street, there were bodyguards secretly protecting the entrance, so Gu Yundong was not worried and let him go.
Unexpectedly, before Yang Zhifu came back, a sharp scream came from outside.
Gu Yundongโs heart skipped a beat. She quickly went out to the alley.
It was the last batch of vegetables sent by Yang Zhifu. On the way, she saw Yang Zhifu coming back.
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
"Iโm fine, Iโm fine. Letโs go home first."
Gu Yundong brought him back. As soon as they entered, Yang Zhifu heaved a sigh of relief and pulled her a few steps forward. He said to Gu Dajiang and the others, who had also walked out, "I heard someone say that County Magistrate Mao was arrested. Is it... is it Qingyuan and the others?"
"I think so." Gu Yundong asked, "Whatโs the situation outside?"
"I just arrived at Elementary Scholar Zhangโs house, and Elementary Scholar Zhang happened to come back. According to him, a prince came to the city and brought people into the county office. Then, he arrested County Magistrate Mao and the others. He even said that County Magistrate Mao colluded with someone and plotted a rebellion. He wanted to take him to the capital to be executed. Now, the entire county office is under control."
Yang Zhifu sounded excited. No matter what, it was a good thing for him that the county magistrate was unlucky.
Moreover, he had heard some news in advance. Although he was not surprised that the county magistrate was arrested, he was relieved at this moment.
Yang Zhifu said, "The people on the streets are in a panic now. Zhang Xiu just found out that you are a princess and even asked me if he could come to our house to hide. I told him that itโs best not to go anywhere now. Elementary Scholar Zhang quickly restrained everyone at home. Our neighbors on Chengโan Street also closed their doors and planned to come out after the matter is over."
Gu Yundong nodded and let everyone enter the house. There was no need to be too nervous.
At this moment, many people in the county city of Anyi County had already learned that the county magistrate had been arrested by the county lord. Those gentry and rich families who had close ties with him in the past were all locked up. Some closed their shops, and some closed their workshops. They all stayed at home and tried to think of a way to get rid of him.
There were even fewer people on the street, but there were also many people discussing softly.
"First, thereโs a princess, and now thereโs a royal prince. Oh my god, whatโs wrong with Anyi County? Is it going to be famous?"
"I was wondering why a princess suddenly came to our small county. It turns out that sheโs here for County Magistrate Mao. The princess must have come to investigate secretly and made County Magistrate Mao lose his vigilance. When she gets evidence of his crime, the county lord will come and take down County Magistrate Mao in one fell swoop."
"Serves him right. This county magistrate is not a good person."
"Thatโs right. Other than taking down the previous county magistrate, I donโt see him doing anything for us commoners."
"I wonder how big of a crime heโll be convicted of this time. Do you think heโll be executed?"
It was hard to say. Only Gu Yundong knew that if he colluded with Marquis Pingnan, he would definitely be beheaded.
