Wang Yi's pupils dilated in shock. How could this county magistrate be so indiscriminate, accepting Jiang Chengzong's offer of one thousand taels as a sum?

"This is unfair, Your Honor, Jiang Chengzong is clearly talking nonsense."

"I am the magistrate of this county, and whatever I say goes." Magistrate Li pointed to the sky with a displeased expression.

When has anyone ever questioned him?

As he spoke, he gave his men a wink, and they immediately prepared to take Daya away.

Li refused to comply and kept protecting Daya in her arms, leaving the approaching people at a loss.

"They've all gone too far! Arrest them all!" Magistrate Li slammed his hand on the table and ordered his subordinates.

His daughter was going against him, and he couldn't do anything about it. How dare these troublemakers disobey him?

"You..." Wang Yiyi hadn't expected things to develop this way. Just as she was about to take out her crossbow, Wang Dashan came over and covered her mouth.

Her action of taking out the crossbow was suddenly interrupted, and she looked at Wang Dashan in confusion.

She can leave safely with her mother and eldest sister.

Wang Dashan gently shook his head: "The common people can't fight with the officials. I'll figure out a way to handle the money. I won't let your older sister suffer too much."

Daya also stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "My parents were confused for a moment, please forgive them, Your Excellency."

She was trembling uncontrollably, but still took the initiative to stand next to the official.

"Da Ya, no!" Li was already sobbing uncontrollably. If Wang Dashan hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed over.

Magistrate Li watched all this, his brows furrowing involuntarily. He then waved his sleeve and left.

Watching helplessly as Daya was taken away, Wang Yiyi said urgently to Wang Dashan, "Father, I have a way. I'll take you and my eldest sister with me."

She no longer cared about the danger of the exposed RV; all she knew was that this was her family, and she had to save them.

Wang Dashan said softly, "I know you are capable, but I don't want our family to have to live in hiding from now on. Don't worry, Dad will find a way."

After saying that, he grabbed one of them with each hand and led Li and Wang out of the county government office.

Wang Datou and the others were waiting outside the county government office, unaware of what had happened inside. Seeing them come out, he looked behind them and asked, "Where's Big Sister?"

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

Wang Dashan had a sullen face, and Wang Datou dared not ask any more questions.

Li kept crying, and Wang Datou couldn't get any information out of her. In the end, he had to ask Wang Yiyi, whose face darkened even more and who didn't say a word.

Er Tou and Er Ya dared not say anything. One of them supported Li Shi, and the other led Wang Yi Yi forward in silence.

As they were about to leave the city, Wang Yiyi finally spoke up: "You all go first. Mother probably won't be able to walk back in this condition. I'll go rent a carriage."

They had been delayed at the county government office for quite some time, and it was already dark. The village head and the villagers had long since left, leaving only their family behind.

Wang Dashan glanced at his wife and nodded.

Er Ya: "I'll go with you."

Wang Yi forced a smile: "No need, you guys go first, I can drive the carriage very fast."

The blow to Ms. Li was so great that she could barely take a step with the help of others. She wanted to take out the RV.

Watching the staggering figures of the group, Wang Yiyi couldn't help but slap herself hard.

She was too arrogant, thinking she had everything planned out, but in the end, she pushed her family into the abyss.

She wiped away her tears, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and took the RV out of the storage space.

After thinking for a moment, she cut a piece of clothing into pieces and handed a piece of cloth to each person: "Blindfold yourselves before getting on the bus."

Er Tou was somewhat puzzled: "Why? What's wrong with looking at a carriage?"

"I borrowed this from someone else, and he said I couldn't look at what was inside," Wang Yi said expressionlessly, offering a reason.

She didn't let them see the inside of the RV not because she didn't trust them, but to protect them.

Once a person sees something, it's hard to pretend they don't know it, especially if that day ever comes...

You can only know something if you can't see it.

Wang Dashan took the cloth from him and said, "Just do what I told you to do, why are you talking so much?"

With Wang Dashan taking the lead, the others also blindfolded themselves.

"Don't take off the blindfolds, don't touch them, and don't ask questions," Wang Yiyi told them again as she helped them into the car one by one.

"Mhm." Wang Dashan nodded.

The others also gave their assurances.

There were hardly any people on the road at night. Wang Yiyi was preoccupied with something and didn't bother to slow down. She soon arrived at the entrance of the town.

She helped everyone off the bus before they removed their blindfolds.

Er Tou looked curious, opened his mouth several times, but swallowed his words back. Third Sister said not to ask.

Wang Dashan glanced at the horse and made a guess in his mind. This should be the precious horse that Young Master Xie mentioned. He thought it was an exaggeration, but it seems that such a treasure really exists in the world. He also kept this thought in mind.

Others were equally curious.

This carriage was not only fast, but also very stable, and the cushions were soft.

Only Li remained blankly watching as Er Ya removed her blindfold, mechanically walking forward.

Wang Yiyi didn't get out of the car: "That person said he would leave it in town, let's walk the rest of the way back."

She moved the car to the side, making sure no one could see it, and then put it back into her storage space.

The town wasn't far from home, and the group arrived home in no time.

Wu and Jiang Mantun were waiting at the door. As soon as Wu saw them, she rushed over: "What did you do to my son?"

Upon hearing Wu's voice, Li, who had been in a daze, instantly snapped out of it and rushed over.

Wu did not expect that Li would start attacking without saying anything. Before she knew it, several bloody marks were scratched on her face.

Jiang Mantun rushed over to break up the fight, but was also scratched several times by Li.

He had no choice but to give up and said to Wang Dashan, "Brother Wang, please try to persuade your wife."

Seeing that Wang Dashan remained motionless, he continued, "Where is Chengzong from our family? Why is everyone in the village saying he's committed a crime, and it's related to Daya? What exactly happened?"

Wang Dashan finally glanced at him and said, "From now on, our two families have no further relationship. You don't need to remember the life-saving grace I gave you; your son has already repaid it for you."

Jiang Mantun's face turned pale. What did this mean?

He wanted to ask more questions, but when he turned around, he saw that his wife was about to be beaten to death by Li, so he rushed to break up the fight.

The other members of the Wang family watched coldly from the sidelines, making no attempt to break up the fight.

In her rage, Li's fighting power was comparable to that of a lion, and Wu was constantly pinned to the ground and beaten by her.

Seeing that he was about to beat Wu to death, Wang Dashan pulled Li up and said to Wu, "Get out of here. Don't come to my house again, or I'll beat you every time you come."

Jiang Mantun dared not say no, and helped Wu Shi away in a disheveled state.

After venting her anger, Madam Li came to her senses. "What should we do? Where am I going to get a thousand taels of silver? My poor Daya, it's all my fault, I've ruined her."

Only then did Da Tou dare to reply, "What, a thousand taels? What does that have to do with Big Sister?"

Wang Yi then told the others about what happened at the county government office: "Let's go inside and discuss it."
