Ye Muyu tidied up her clothes gently. Even Lil’ Jin understood what was happening, not to mention Ziluo. Protecting themselves was the most important thing.

Chu Ziluo understood this. She nodded obediently. “Mother, I understand. I’ll tell my brother.”

“Alright, go and change your clothes. We’re about to set off.”

“I know, mother.” Chu Ziluo ran quickly.

Madam Hu had already cooked breakfast. She made pickled cabbage buns, meat buns, and some vegetable porridge.

After a simple breakfast…

Ye Muyu brought Chu Ziluo, Chu Jin, and Zhang Cong onto the mule cart. Zhang Shu and Han Zhuang drove the cart. As soon as they left the house, they met Chu Xing and Madam Qian, who were riding a cart to the county.

Seeing Ye Muyu and the others, Madam Qian greeted them happily. “Muyu, are you bringing Ziluo along too?”

“I’m bringing her along to broaden her horizons,” Ye Muyu replied with a smile.

Madam Qian agreed. In the future, if Chu Heng were to pass the high scholar examination, Zi Luo’s status would rise, and it would definitely be good to have more knowledge.

Soon, the two families arrived at the entrance of the village.

The other villagers had already arrived at the entrance of the village. Only the last few families were left. Ye Muyu’s family was not considered late. Madam Liu also came, but she did not bring anyone else and was alone.

Ye Muyu called her to her mule cart.

Seeing that there was still space on the mule cart, Madam Liu came up and stuffed a small paper bag into her palm.

Ye Muyu lowered her head and looked at it. It seemed to be something that contained medicinal powder. Her pupils constricted. She was a little surprised. “Mother, what kind of medicine is this?”

“Hmm, laxatives.” Madam Liu leaned closer to her and whispered, “I’m always worried. Although the Tang family has been fine for the past few days, I’m always on tenterhooks. If something really happens, you can keep this medicine with you. If you have the chance, you can protect yourself.”

“Mother, then I’ll accept it.” Ye Muyu did not expect Madam Liu to think so far ahead. However, she was already prepared. They had to be well prepared and brace themselves.

“Okay, be careful.”

Soon, everyone in the village was gathered.

There were forty to fifty people scattered around.

Mrs. Tang and Tang Xueren also went to the county.

Tang Chuan stayed in the village.

Along the way, there were ox carts from various families carrying villagers to listen.

Most of them lived near the school. Those who were at home at that time had to go and record their statements.

An hour later, the large group of people finally arrived at the county.

The city gate of the county was already open.

However, the interrogation was even stricter than before.

The arrival of a large number of villagers from Xingshui Village attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

He checked them one by one.

With more people, the news of the murder case quickly spread.

One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and most of the people in the county knew about this news.

By the time the people of Xingshui Village arrived at the entrance of the county government, there were already many curious people there.

Madam Liu looked at her group of people and relaxed a little. She waited for the village chief to go to the yamen guards guarding the yamen and explain the situation.

Soon, Chu Jin, Zhang Cong, and some other children at the scene requested to be brought into the county office.

Madam Liu was somewhat anxious.

Ye Muyu had expected this. She glanced at Han Zhuang, who nodded to show that he understood, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief. If it were not for Han Zhuang, she would not have been able to relax.

“Muyu, the children went in just like that? Must we stay outside?”
