I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.

When Jiang Chengzong arrived, the county magistrate barely questioned him before convicting him and sentencing him and the skinny monkey to exile.

Just as Wang Yiyi had expected, Jiang Chengzong was a scholar, and it was impossible for him to be convicted without cause.

The county magistrate was certainly unwilling to publicize what happened before, but now that he has the opportunity, he can let Jiang Chengzong go.

Wang Dashan and Li Shi were both very excited. They kowtowed several times to the county magistrate, calling him "Your Honor, the Upright and Just Magistrate."

Daya also knelt down and said to the magistrate, "This humble subject has a matter to ask the magistrate to decide."

"Jiang Chengzong has treated me so badly that there is no affection left between us. I beg the magistrate to allow me to annul the engagement."

"Of course," the magistrate waved his hand.

Since they were both exiled, the engagement would definitely have to be called off, and he was happy to be the good guy.

The Wang family finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the county magistrate speaking up to annul the engagement, the matter was finally settled, and no one would gossip about Daya in the future.

Just as Magistrate Li was about to leave the court, a man suddenly came out from behind and whispered a few words in his ear.

The magistrate's expression changed, and he went into the back room without saying a word.

"What is Xian'er up to now?" He took off his official hat and strode towards the back hall.

Before anyone could say anything, he had already stepped into the house.

Upon seeing this, he was nearly scared out of his wits. Fortunately, the person next to him reacted quickly and caught him, preventing him from collapsing to the ground.

His daughter was hanging herself with a white silk ribbon.

He had few children, only one son and one daughter. Li Xian'er was his only daughter, whom he always doted on.

Because of Jiang Chengzong's matter, he had been on a hunger strike for several days, and now he had even tried to hang himself. He was both heartbroken and furious.

"What are you doing?" He clutched his chest and sat down on a stool after seeing his daughter rescued by the servants.

Being a father is so difficult for him!

Li Xian'er wiped away her tears and said, "Are you going to sentence Jiang Lang to exile? I don't agree. Father, if you sentence him to exile, you're forcing your daughter to die!"

"Do you know what he did?" Magistrate Li asked, raising his voice as he looked at his daughter, who seemed to be on the verge of death.

Li Xian'er's sobs faltered. She had only heard from the servants that her father was going to sentence Jiang Lang, but she really didn't know the reason.

Seeing his daughter's bewildered expression, Magistrate Li sighed, "He actually conspired with others to frame his fiancée for having an affair. And he treated you like that before. This man is utterly despicable. What bewitched you into falling for him?"

Li Xian'er froze for a moment, then quickly screamed, "Impossible! Jiang Lang couldn't have done such a thing! I've said it before, what happened last time was an accident. Jiang Lang and I were framed."

Magistrate Li said with exasperation, "So what if it was a frame-up? The deed is done. A woman's reputation is paramount. I've already found you a marriage partner, and you'll be married off next year."

Li Xian'er refused to comply and started crying and making a scene, threatening to kill herself.

Magistrate Li hardened his heart: "No matter how much you cause trouble, Jiang Chengzong has already done this. I have already given the order, so there is no reason to change it. Do you want me to lose my official hat? If you still have any regard for me as your father, then stop behaving like this."

Seeing that her father wouldn't listen, Li Xian'er knew there was no turning back. She wiped away her tears and said, "I can't save Jiang Lang, but if it weren't for his fiancée, he wouldn't be in this state. Father, you have to teach that country girl a lesson too."

Magistrate Li: "She's the victim, how can I teach her a lesson?"

"I don't care, if you let her go back like this, I'll kill myself." Li Xian'er pulled out a dagger from somewhere and pressed it hard against her neck.

She was truly ruthless; blood was already seeping from her neck.

Magistrate Li's heart trembled. "Alright, alright, put down the dagger, I promise you."

Li Xian'er then put down the dagger and smiled smugly.

Jiang Lang, I couldn't save you, but I avenged you.

Magistrate Li flicked his sleeves and stormed out the door, his face contorted with anger.

As soon as he reached the door, he ordered the people around him, "Go and replace all the servants who attend to the young lady."

Magistrate Li put his official hat back on and sat in the high hall.

Wang Yi felt something was wrong; her heart was pounding, and she had a feeling something bad was about to happen.

While they were waiting for the county magistrate, someone passed a message to Jiang Chengzong.

Jiang Chengzong visibly breathed a sigh of relief, while Wang Yi was genuinely worried that something might go wrong.

Magistrate Li: "Ahem, haven't you returned the betrothal gifts for Miss Wang yet?"

Wang Dashan immediately said, "The village was robbed by the Dayong people before, and the betrothal gifts are all gone. I can convert them into cash and give them to the Jiang family."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Chengzong shouted, "How can it be converted into cash? The betrothal gifts are the Jiang family heirlooms. I don't agree!"

Wang Yi slapped him across the face: "A mere rag has become your family heirloom? What, was it woven by a fairy?"

"People in court must not lay a hand on others," someone immediately shouted to stop them.

Li immediately pulled Wang Yiyi into her arms and begged for mercy again.

The magistrate waved his hand: "It's indeed a bit unreasonable to treat cloth as a family heirloom. Jiang Chengzong, how about we ask the Wang family to compensate you a little more?"

"One thousand taels."

Jiang Chengzong had already realized that the county magistrate was on his side. It seemed that Miss Li's words had worked, and he was no longer as timid as before.

Li's face turned pale: "A thousand taels? That piece of rag is not worth a thousand taels. You are asking for the moon."

Wang Dashan stopped Li from kneeling on the ground: "Your Excellency, we really can't come up with this money right now. Could you please give us some time? We will raise the money."

Magistrate Li pretended to think for a moment and said, "Since you want to annul the engagement, the betrothal gifts must naturally be returned. I can't show favoritism."

Wang Yi cursed the corrupt official under his breath.

Something must have happened during their trip to the back room, otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly changed their attitude.

Jiang Chengzong's arrogance also grew: "You poor wretch, if you can't pay up, you'll go to jail."

"Even if you're exiled three thousand miles away, you might not make it there alive," Wang Yiyi retorted.

Jiang Chengzong's face paled as he realized he had been sentenced to exile. He looked at Magistrate Li with a pleading expression: "Your Honor, please, for the sake of Miss..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in the mouth.

These yamen runners were well-trained and, under the orders of the county magistrate, showed no mercy when beating people.

After a few slaps, Jiang Chengzong's mouth swelled up so much that he couldn't speak, and two of his teeth were knocked out.

Magistrate Li had lost his patience: "Jiang Chengzong, Li Shouhou, set off immediately. Wang Daya, stay in jail until you return the betrothal gifts."
