Chapter 611: Court Session

 

Ye Muyu tidied up her clothes gently. Regardless of Chu Ziluo's age, even Xiao Jin was old enough to understand this. Protecting oneself was the most important thing.

Chu Ziluo understood this and nodded obediently, "Mother, I understand. I'll tell my brother."

"Good, after you're done, change into your clothes. We'll be leaving soon."

"I understand, mother." Chu Ziluo ran off quickly.

Breakfast had already been cooked by Hu Shi, consisting of sour cabbage buns, bacon buns, and some vegetable porridge.

After a simple breakfast.

Ye Muyu took Chu Ziluo, Chu Jin, and Zhang Cong onto the mule cart, driven by Zhang Shu and Han Zhuang. Just as they left, they met Qian and Chu Xing, who were also on a cart heading to the county, at the village entrance.

Seeing Ye Muyu and the others, Qian greeted them happily, "Muyu, did you also bring Ziluo?"

"Bringing her to broaden her horizons." Ye Muyu smiled lightly in response.

Qian nodded in understanding. After all, if Chu Heng passed the imperial examination in the future, Ziluo's status would rise and having more experiences would definitely be beneficial.

Soon, both families arrived at the village entrance.

Most of the other villagers had already gathered there, leaving only a few households. Ye Muyu's family wasn't late.

Chu Liushi also arrived, but she didn't bring anyone with her, just came alone.

Ye Muyu called her to their mule cart.

Seeing there was still space on the cart, Chu Liushi came up and handed her a small paper packet.

Ye Muyu lowered her head to take a look. It seemed to contain medicinal powder, and her pupils contracted slightly, a bit surprised. "Mother, what medicine is this?"

"Well, it's a laxative." Chu Liushi leaned closer and whispered, "I'm always worried. Although there hasn't been anything happening at the Tang family these past few days, I'm still always on edge. If anything happens, having this medicine on you might help protect yourself."

"Mother, then I'll accept it." Ye Muyu didn't expect Chu Liushi to think so far ahead, but she had also been prepared.

Preparation, in the end, was also to be prepared for any eventuality and to bolster courage.

"Well, you be careful."

Soon, all the villagers had gathered.

There were about forty to fifty people scattered around.

Tang Wangshi and Tang Xueren had also gone to the county.

Tang Chuan was left in the village.

Along the way, there were various families' ox carts, carrying villagers going to listen in on the proceedings.

Most of them lived near the school, and those who were home at the time needed to go to provide testimony.

Half an hour later.

The large group of people finally arrived at the county.

The county gate was already open.

However, the interrogation was stricter than usual.

A large group of people from Xingshui Village attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Each person was checked.

With so many people, news of the murder trial quickly spread.

As the news spread, most of the people in the county became aware of the situation.

When the villagers from Xingshui Village arrived at the county yamen gate, there were already many other county residents waiting outside.

Seeing the large group of people from her family, Chu Liushi felt a bit relieved. She waited for the village chief to approach the guards at the yamen gate and explain the situation.

Soon, Chu Jin, Zhang Cong, and some other children who were present requested to be taken into the county yamen.

Chu Liushi was a little anxious.

Ye Muyu had long expected this to happen. She glanced at Han Zhuang beside her, who nodded in understanding. Then, he disappeared into the crowd.

Ye Muyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. If it weren't for Han Zhuang, a capable helper, she wouldn't be able to relax.

"Third daughter-in-law, have the children gone inside like this? Can we only wait outside?"
