Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic

"They've all arrived?!"

Upon hearing his servant's words, Qi Sheng immediately stood up.

"No...that's right. And that charlatan surnamed Lin, after hearing that it was you, sir, looking for him, was so scared that he abandoned his fortune-telling stall and prepared to run away."

"He confessed to everything as soon as our people caught him."

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng narrowed his eyes.

Yang Xiaoman's face turned cold, while Yang Cong'an beside her clenched his fists in anger.

The scene of the other party spreading rumors and misleading the public is still vivid in my mind.

As the village head, he sensed something was amiss, but the villagers who used to obey him seemed to have become completely different people, showing no regard for the prestige he had painstakingly built up over the years.

How could Yang Cong'an accept this?

That's why he put so much effort into this matter.

It wasn't just to help Yang Xiaoman, but also to help himself regain his authority.

"Let's go check on those two witnesses."

Looking at the two men with different expressions, Qi Sheng smiled calmly and waved his hand, then signaled his servants to lead the way.

Before long, the group arrived at the front yard.

Seeing the two people being held captive by his own servants in the courtyard, Qi Sheng frowned imperceptibly and said coldly:

"Who gave you permission to treat the witnesses like this? They're not criminals, who convicted them? Release them right now!"

Upon hearing this, the servants were horrified and immediately released their grip on the two men.

The middle-aged driver, wearing a short jacket, was now pale with fright, his body trembling like a leaf, and he looked at Qi Sheng, stammering:

"Master Qi... I'll confess everything, I'll confess everything."

"Whatever you ask, I will answer to the best of my knowledge!"

Lin Tiangang coughed lightly and was about to stand up.

But Qi Sheng looked at him coldly and said, "Did I tell you to stand up?"

"Kneel down!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tiangang's face turned deathly pale, and he stammered:

"Master Qi, when have I, Lin, ever offended you?"

He feigned composure, but a few drops of cold sweat the size of soybeans suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"You've already forgotten everything you did so quickly?"

Seeing his bewildered reaction, Qi Sheng sneered and stepped aside.

Yang Cong'an and Yang Xiaoman walked forward one after the other with cold faces.

"Old Immortal, it's been a few days, you should still remember me, right?"

He sneered repeatedly, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tiangang trembled violently, and said in disbelief:

"You, you are... the village head of Yangjia Village?"

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Could it be that what happened that day has been exposed?

Although he was prepared for his exposure, such baseless rumors could only fool people for a short time.

But he never expected that the village head of Yangjia Village would actually know Master Qi from the town!

"Who instructed you to spread your heretical rumors that day?"

Just then, Yang Xiaoman could no longer hold back and asked in a cold voice.

Lin Tiangang swallowed hard, glancing at her instinctively. "Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman sneered, "As a fortune teller, does the old immortal not know my identity?"

"You keep saying I'm possessed by evil spirits and will kill everyone in the village sooner or later, so why can't you even recognize me now that I'm standing right in front of you?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Lin Tiangang's eyes, and the next second his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"You, you, you..."

"Speak! Wasn't it my aunt Chen Yue'e who instigated you to spread rumors and mislead the public that day?!"

Before he could even speak, Yang Xiaoman roared, her face icy cold and her whole body radiating murderous intent.

"I...I don't know anything!"

Lin Tiangang looked terrified and spoke in a trembling voice.

"It was a moment of weakness on my part that I unintentionally injured you, young lady; it has nothing to do with anyone else..."

Seeing that he was stubborn and wouldn't budge, a cold glint flashed in Yang Xiaoman's eyes, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Just as she was about to explode, Qi Sheng chuckled and said calmly:

"Niece Xiaoman, you don't need to be angry."

"This kind of person is a habitual liar, they won't admit it until they're faced with a death sentence, you'll never get any information out of them by asking like this."

"Why not leave it to me? It would be most appropriate for Officer Wang to handle this kind of matter."

Upon hearing the word "yamen runner," Lin Tiangang was filled with terror and completely dumbfounded.

"Alright, then let's do as Uncle Qi says..."

Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly.

"Wait, wait!"

"I'll tell you everything."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Tiangang hurriedly interrupted him.

The panic he showed at this moment was a far cry from the eloquent and dignified demeanor he had displayed at the village entrance.

"It was that woman surnamed Chen who suggested it. She said she would give me five hundred coins as a reward if I went to her village."

"When I heard the reward was so high, I agreed without even thinking. If I had known it was related to the Qi family, I wouldn't have dared to accept it, not even if you killed me!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Sheng with a sense of unease.

The other person had no expression, and it was impossible to tell whether they were happy or angry.

"Five hundred coins?"

Yang Xiaoman narrowed her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"She's willing to pay that price."

Beside him, Yang Cong'an gritted his teeth in hatred and said angrily:

"You dare to spread such heresies and mislead the public for just five hundred coins; you are truly causing great harm."

He suddenly looked at Qi Sheng halfway through his speech, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:

"Master Qi, I hope you will hand this man over to me, Yang, so that I can take him to the county government and clear Yang Xiaoman's name."

Lin Tiangang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but he saw Qi Sheng wave his hand with a smile, "There's no need for such trouble. I already sent someone to invite Brother Wang over before."

"Then I will accompany you to Yangjia Village and escort the two troublemakers to the county to await the magistrate's judgment."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman looked surprised; she hadn't expected Uncle Qi to have considered things so thoroughly.

Just as I was about to express my gratitude, I heard a thud beside my ear.

She looked closely and saw the coachman, dressed in a short jacket, sitting helplessly on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

"Master Qi, I...I didn't do anything!"

"I'm innocent! I only took twenty coins and took that man to Black Wind Mountain. I don't know anything else!"

As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion.

They were terrified of being arrested as accomplices and taken to the county government office to suffer the punishment of being beaten with sticks!

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng's lips twitched violently, but he calmly replied:

"You've misunderstood. He's the only one who's in trouble."

"As for you... you are an outsider, but when the magistrate interrogates you, you will inevitably be present to testify."

"You don't need to worry about anything else. After this is all over, I will give you three hundred coins as compensation."

Upon hearing this, the rickshaw driver in the short jacket froze.

and many more!

Could it be that he misheard?
