I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 292 County Government

Finally, in order to gain a clearer understanding of the entire incident, the general questioned everyone involved, including Liu Xiaoxiao.

In order not to reveal her identity, she deliberately concealed the fact that her grandfather and granddaughter had gone up to cut bamboo when facing the general's questions.

She simply said that she had stumbled upon the criminals' suspicious behavior while having fun, and then described in detail how she had notified everyone. The general nodded slightly after hearing this, and in his heart he was quite impressed by this brave girl.

After all the inquiries were completed, the leading commander gathered everyone together again and said, "Alright, we have a clear understanding of the situation in your village. Next, we will take these people away for further interrogation."

"And those of you who participated in the decision-making and today's arrests will also return with me to your local county government office later. The reason for this is that our prefect, after hearing your village's report, took it very seriously and is personally attending the trial."

"On the way, he was worried about something unexpected happening here, so he specifically ordered us to ride as fast as we could and get there overnight before him. And by now, I'm sure he's already arrived in Haishi Town.

So while you wait, don't worry too much, just cooperate with us and answer some questions."

When Liu Xiaoxiao heard that she had to go to the government office again, she felt a little nervous.

I thought to myself, "Why is the prefect still here? If we go there, won't we have to kneel down?"

In sharp contrast to Liu Xiaoxiao's nervousness, Liu Kun had a very calm expression. After all, he was treated to a meal by the prefect like a VIP last time!

However, Liu Yingxiong who was standing in front of him was not as naive as him, because until now, he still clearly remembered the promise he made when he left the prefectural yamen that he would no longer make a crossbow without authorization.

Now, look at them, not only did they do it, they also... [Oh! Forget it, I hope the prefect can understand them!]

Compared to the various strange ideas of the Liu family, Wang Feng was much more excited.

Thinking back to the treatment his fellow villagers had received when they went to report to the police, and comparing it with the current situation, how could he not be excited?

The prefect! To them, that was such a distant existence! And now he came in person to investigate the situation in their village.

I thought: I must answer the adults' questions carefully when the time comes, so that the adults can catch the person behind the scenes for my village as soon as possible.

Soon, everyone followed the group of officials to the county government office.

Along the way, Liu Xiaoxiao was curious and nervous, tugging at the corner of her clothes, and from time to time she would glance at the officers and soldiers who were escorting the prisoners in front of her.

After so many times, the excited Liu Kun noticed it. He thought Liu Xiaoxiao was scared, so he whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, second sister, nothing will happen."

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded perfunctorily.

Upon arriving at the county government office, the prefect, Liu Yunzhou, was already waiting in the lobby. Everyone knelt one after another, except Liu Erhu, who was about to kneel when the prefect shouted, "Liu Erhu, you're not a villager of Luoya Village. Just stand and answer."

It would have been better if he didn't have to kneel, but even if he didn't kneel, he still clasped his fists in thanks and then stood up straight waiting on the side.

After hearing the prefect's words, the natives of Luoya Village temporarily buried some of their guesses in their hearts.

After everyone finished their greetings, Liu Yunzhou asked them to stand up first.

Then he called out Liu Erhu's name and asked him to tell him again the details he knew.
