“Hubby, Mother and the others!” After An Dong left, Shen Yijia found her voice.

Song Jingchen held her hand and patted it to comfort her. “Let’s go to the county city first.”

Ten days ago, they were still on the way back. Even if something happened, Fan Mingyuan or others would not be able to send him a message.

Someone might have come to the house, but the truth was definitely not as An Dong and the others had guessed.

He was more inclined to think that his mother and the others were hiding, but he would only know the details when he saw Fan Mingyuan.

They did not even have time to move the things in the carriage. They unloaded the carriage and rode towards the county city.

Furball wanted to crawl into the hole, but it got stuck.

When Shen Dali heard the villagers’ discussion and rushed to the end of the village, he was annoyed to see that they had already left.

An Dong was not the only one who felt guilty about what had happened to the Song family. He also blamed himself.

As a former bandit leader, he actually didn’t know that someone was doing bad things under his nose. He deserved to be wiped out.

Moreover, the one in trouble was his grandaunt’s family. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to his own family?

Fortunately, Shen Dali came. Otherwise, Furball would have been stuck for a long time.

Shen Yijia did not know what Shen Dali was thinking. When they arrived at the county city, it was time to close the city gate.

Song Jingchen had the small seal given by Fan Mingyuan, so they weren’t stopped. They went straight to the back door of the county office.

South Wind stepped forward and knocked on the door.

An old woman stuck her head out. Seeing that she didn’t recognize him and that South Wind wasn’t dressed like a rich person, her face immediately fell. “Why are you knocking? Don’t you know what this place is? Hurry up and leave. If you want to report a crime, go to the former government office.”

In the past, the county magistrate was a corrupt official. The commoners did not dare to go to the government office no matter what.

Ever since Fan Mingyuan took office, it had been the other way around. The commoners had to let Fan Mingyuan decide on everything.

Some people were unwilling to go to the front office because it was a family matter. They ran to the back office and knocked on the door, wanting Fan Mingyuan to judge them in private.

However, it had to be said that the atmosphere in Anyang County had improved a lot under Fan Mingyuan’s governance over the past year.

The hooligans who collected protection fees in Anyang County could no longer be seen.

As soon as a hooligan appeared, someone would report him to the authorities so that he wouldn’t even know who caused him to be arrested.

All you had to do was walk down the street and you’d hear things like “I’m going to arrest you and report you to the authorities” and “Let’s go and talk to the county magistrate.”

The old woman guarding the door treated South Wind as someone who had come to report to the authorities.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, South Wind took out a small seal and handed it over. He explained good-naturedly, “I’m not here to report to the officials. My master knows County Magistrate Fan. This is County Magistrate Fan’s seal. My master has something on.”

The old woman at the gate rolled her eyes and interrupted him disdainfully. “Tsk, what an interesting person. Is there anyone in Anyang County who doesn’t know my lord? That’s what everyone says. Also, I don’t know this seal. I already said that you should go to the front office if you have something to do.”

People often looked for County Magistrate Fan for all sorts of reasons. The old woman guarding the door was already used to it.

In the past, people would have left after she sent them away. However, things were different this time.

The door, which was only slightly open, was pushed open forcefully.

Before the old woman could react, someone suddenly grabbed her collar. The old woman screamed in fear, “What are you doing? Do you want to hit someone in this county office?”

Only then did she realize that there were a few more people in front of her, and the person holding her was a beautiful wife.

Shen Yijia pulled a long face and lifted her up. She took the small seal from South Wind’s hand and placed it in front of the old woman guarding the door. She asked coldly, “Do you recognize this seal?”

The old woman guarding the door was so frightened that she grabbed Shen Yijia’s hand tightly and cried, “Oh my, it’s not that I don’t recognize it, but Master already said that we have to follow the rules when reporting to the authorities. We can’t…”

Shen Yijia scratched her ears impatiently, as if she wanted to knock this noisy woman out.

“What’s going on?” said a displeased voice behind them.

Shen Yijia turned around. It was a man in a gray robe with a goatee. He was carrying a few medicine bags.

He took one look at her before looking away. He didn’t know her.

The person recognized Song Jingchen. Surprise flashed across his face, and he was delighted. “Young Master Song, you’re back.”
