"Old Wang, whose family sent this fish?" Lady Wang Legend wiped her hands and raised her head to look at the fish that the Village Head had brought in.

The Gu family does know a bit about this, so I won't pursue this matter any further. Here, "the village chief handed the fish to Lady Wang before turning around and walking out, he said loudly," At night, make some fish soup to stew.

"Got it, where are you going now?" Lady Wang took the fish and looked at the Village Head's back with a puzzled expression.

"Mind your own business, don't mind it." Lady Wang snorted and carried the fish into the kitchen to deal with it.

In the evening, the village chief returned from some business. He asked the moment he entered, "My wife, is the fish soup ready?"

Lady Wang opened the kitchen curtain and saw that the village chief had returned. She frowned, "What exactly have you been up to this afternoon?" Why did it take so long? I've already stewed the fish soup. Quickly wash your hands and go to the main hall to wait. "

"Don't worry about what I said, I know what I'm doing. Alright, hurry up, I'm going to starve to death." The village chief nodded and gave a perfunctory explanation. Then, he turned around and walked into the main hall.

Lady Wang had gotten used to the Village Head's personality, but she was still so angry that she threw down the curtain. She stood up, scooped the fish soup into a bowl and carried it to the main hall.

"Eat." She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. However, she did not drink fish soup, but picked up a piece of cabbage and stir-fried meat. The village chief glanced at Lady Wang and asked, "My wife, is there anyone coming in the afternoon?"

"Nope." Lady Wang swallowed the mantou in her mouth and returned to the Village Head.

"Oh." The village chief nodded his head and grabbed a bowl of fish soup to drink.

As he was eating, the Village Head's expression changed. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He held his stomach and looked at Lady Wang in pain. "My wife, my stomach!"

Lady Wang was so frightened that she immediately threw her bowl of rice away. She walked up to the village chief and pulled his arm, her voice trembling with anxiety. "Old Wang, what's wrong? "Are you sick to your stomach?"

"Someone is here … "You want to harm me!" The village chief's head was drenched in cold sweat. He held Lady Wang's hands so tightly that it was covered in sweat.

The Village Chief's gaze slowly landed on the fish soup and he said weakly, "This fish soup …" "There's poison!"

"How is that possible? I made it personally for you, how could it be poisonous? No one has ever touched it before. " Lady Wang shook her head as she looked at the fish soup.

"It's not you, it's the Gu family that sent this fish to me. They're up to no good!" The official report! "We'll report it now!" The village chief held Lady Wang's hand, his emotions in a state of disarray. He could not die, and he would not let the Gu family off easy.

"How could the Gu family?" Seeing her husband in such a state, Lady Wang had no other choice but to go to the yamen according to her husband's instructions and cry out the grievances.

She ran all the way to the yamen with the village chief and the remaining fish soup.

At this moment, someone knocked on the Gu family's gate. Gu Qingzi opened the door to take a look, but to her surprise, it was the yamen's police officer.

"Miss Gu, someone told you that they planned to kill the village head. Come with us." The constable took out the warrant and showed it to Gu Qingzi.

Gu Qingzi smiled gently and patted Madame Gu's hand soothingly. She said softly, "Mom, I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

"Sigh." Madame Gu responded with tears in her eyes. She followed Gu Qingzi and the rest of the Gu family members to the yamen.

When they arrived, the doctor was checking the fish soup to see if there was poison. Gu Qingzi saw him taking out the silver needles and saw that their color had not changed. She snickered inwardly. It was impossible to find out what was in the space during the dynasty.

Moreover, it was only a small laxative.

"Milord, there isn't any poison in this fish soup." The doctor withdrew the silver needles and cupped his hands in a respectful salute to the magistrate.

"No poison?" The magistrate looked at Village Chief Wang with raised eyebrows and stroked his beard. It was unknown what he was thinking.

The doctor lowered his head and thought for a moment. "Maybe Village Chief Wang ate some counterproductive food that caused his stomach to ache. It's not poison."

"You mean this could be a misunderstanding?" The magistrate looked at the doctor and heard his words. Then, his brows relaxed.

"Milord, it should be like this." The doctor nodded.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then you can settle it in private." The County Magistrate heaved a sigh of relief. It hadn't been easy for him to arrive at the selection day. If the areas under his jurisdiction came out to seek wealth and murder, that would be disastrous.

"Sigh, Lord, it's not that I don't want to reconcile, it's just that Village Chief Wang has a problem with our Gu family." Gu Qingzi saw that the magistrate was silent, so she immediately interrupted him.

"What do you mean?" The magistrate raised his spirits and looked at Gu Qingzi.

"Yesterday, the Gu family and the village chief were not very happy because of what happened. The village head must have been angry because I caught a fish today and gave it to the village head. I didn't expect the village head to say that I poisoned him." "There is no one in the village who doesn't know what is happening to our Gu family right now. I have not treated the village head well enough, so how could I harm the village head? Although we haven't been given the land we deserve, it's impossible for me to do such a thing." Saying that, she started to sob, feeling quite pitiful.

"Didn't you tell me that everyone was assigned to the fields? "What's going on?" The county magistrate narrowed his eyes as he looked at Village Chief Wang and scolded, "How do I usually teach you this? "If you want to be upright and honest, look at you. Hurry up and give the Gu Family the land they deserve."

"My lord!" Village Chief Wang became anxious. "Her empty words have no basis. Lord, you can't be so kind as to trust her."

"Who says I don't have a witness? Aren't the neighbors watching the show my witnesses?" Gu Qingzi pretended to be choked with sobs as she said, "Village Head, I did not want to harm you, and I never lie."

"Who can testify for you?" asked Village Chief Wang. With his back facing the magistrate, he swept a threatening glance over the crowd.

In the crowd, Mo Xiangxiang shook off Widow Lee's hand and stood out. "I can testify for Sister Gu."

Widow Lee cursed inwardly, but she had already offended him, so she could only step forward. "I can testify for Miss Gu."

"Wang Renjie!" There was nothing the magistrate didn't understand.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at Village Head Wang, who was no longer bending over, "You're really good at this. You don't want to listen to me anymore. It seems that you can rely on your own abilities."

When Village Chief Wang was called by name, he was so scared that he fell to his knees, "My Lord."

"Right now, give the Gu family's land to the Gu family." The magistrate glanced at the crowd and refused to accept the verdict.

"Yes."
