"This should be related to me, I'll go."

To calm the emotions of the people around her, Ye Hao smiled helplessly.

At that time, she proposed that people could eat locusts, hoping to reduce the pressure caused by locusts to a certain extent.

But she didn't expect anything to happen, so she could only go over and take a look.

Not only did Xie Yunshu have a look of disapproval on his face, but even Lin Bin lowered his face and said in a low voice:

"Why did I eat it? There's going to be something strange about that!"

There were quite a few people who tried to eat locusts yesterday, especially him, who was the first to bear the brunt.

Lin Bin knew very well that there was nothing wrong with his body, so he naturally didn't want to believe that Ye Hao's judgment was wrong.

Xie Yunshu, who was listening on the sidelines, felt a storm in his heart, what did these two do yesterday?

But Ye Hao didn't want to get entangled in this matter, now that their identities are all outcasts, if they can not provoke the government, it is naturally better not to provoke.

Seeing that she took the initiative to go, the villagers couldn't stop her anymore, so they had to get out of the way.

Due to the long distance, the officials came by donkey cart, and Ye Hao followed them into the donkey cart.

Many villagers, as well as Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin, followed far behind, driving the carriage and the ox cart.

Even the bricklayer, seeing that something seemed to have happened to the master's house, did not start the work again today.

Xie Yunshu was worried that Zhao Yi was young and worried about being at home alone, so he also went with him.

In the carriage, Xie Yunshu figured out the ins and outs of the whole incident from Lin Bin's mouth.

He was also skeptical about Ye Hao's suggestion that locusts could be eaten, but Lin Bin repeatedly assured that he had eaten it himself and had no discomfort, so he dispelled the doubts in his heart.

The journey from the village to the county government was not close, and the group wandered for about an hour before arriving at the city gate.

There were too many villagers who were worried about Ye Hao, but they didn't all come over, and only sent four or five men who were quite prestigious in the village.

This group of people is quite attention-grabbing, not to mention going straight to the county office.

When she arrived at the gate of the county office, Ye Hao followed the official to get off the donkey cart and obediently entered the county office.

The previous few officials were quite polite to her, after all, there were several five big and three rough men behind her, and they didn't care if they did anything out of the ordinary.

Now that he was on his own territory, his waist straightened up, and he led Ye Hao to go in sternly.

As for the villagers and Xie Yunshu and his party, they were not summoned by the county order, so they were naturally blocked at the door and not allowed to enter.

How could the villagers agree, they immediately shouted loudly and tried to break in.

As soon as Ye Hao walked into the lobby, someone whispered a few words in the ear of the county magistrate who was sitting high above.

"Is that really the case?!"

The man lowered his eyebrows and nodded, not daring to deceive in his words.

The county commander frowned and glanced at Ye Hao in the hall, and always felt that the other party seemed to be very familiar, but he didn't have much impression of such a beautiful woman.

In fact, he can't be blamed, when Ye Hao and Xie Yunshu were in prison, the two of them didn't have enough food and clothing every day, and they looked very pitiful.

Especially Ye Hao, in order to avoid trouble with her appearance, she dressed up sloppily, which was completely different from now.

The county order can feel familiar, and it is quite a good memory.

"Then let's go to trial today! lest it attract a mouth!"

After thinking for a while, the county magistrate said to the people around him.

The man took the order, bent over, and left the lobby.

Ye Hao, who was standing below, looked around with some curiosity, and the quaint and heavy atmosphere made her shudder a little, especially the officials standing on both sides, each carrying a large board in their hands, and it was not light at first glance.

"Is it the Xie family?"

The county order was the first to speak, and his solemn expression was very solemn.

Hearing the voice, Ye Hao quickly gathered her mind, bowed to the hall and replied:

"Exactly."

As soon as the words landed, a noisy voice suddenly sounded behind her, and it seemed that many people suddenly poured into the lobby.

Taking advantage of the gap in the bow, Ye Hao quietly glanced back, and saw Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin and other familiar figures.

Just now, the villagers, who had been gathering at the gate, suddenly received the news of the public trial.

They and some of the people who were watching the excitement were taken into the public court by the officials.

In such a small county, in fact, whether the public trial is conducted or not is in the thought of the county order, and no one can influence his thoughts.

But now the county magistrate sitting in the public court is a person who can't wait to run away from this poor country immediately.

There was a sugar making method contributed by Ye Hao and the others before, so that he could collect money and open up the relationship above.

However, in order to move up, it is not enough to open up relationships. At the very least, you have to make some political achievements, even if there are no good results, you have to maintain a stable state.

At this juncture when he was about to get out of the sea of suffering, there was an insect plague, which made his promotion this year hopeless!

The county magistrate was worried about this insect plague, and there was a case about locusts in front of him, so he didn't care whether it was a public trial or not.

"Outside the door, stay silent!"

As soon as the startled wood fell, the people, who were still noisy, quickly shut their mouths, so as not to be hit by a few boards.

They were all cut off at the door of the public court, and from a distance, they could still see the people in the public court.

Seeing that the people were quiet, the county magistrate looked at Ye Hao with a cold face.

"Xie Shi, you have been accused of spreading rumors to make people mistakenly believe that locusts can be eaten, can you plead guilty?"

"Your Excellency! I did say that locusts are edible, but that's not a rumor!"

Ye Hao, who had been mentally prepared long before she came, hurriedly spoke out to defend herself, she didn't want to admit any innocent charges.

Hearing her answer, the county commander frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.

But the people outside the door blew up and looked at Ye Hao in surprise one by one.

This group of people are some unknown, so they followed up to see the excitement, but I didn't expect to hear such a bombshell news as soon as they came in.

Locusts are edible?!

This was the first time they had heard that even chickens and ducks could eat locusts, and that was only yesterday.

"My lord, everything I say is true. Yesterday I made fried locusts in front of many people, and many others have tasted them, so you can send someone to find out."

Ye Hao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and rescued herself from the brink of danger.

But the county commander didn't believe her so easily, but waved his hand to the master beside him and said:

"Summoning the plaintiff."

"Summons the plaintiff to court!"

A loud shout sounded, and it was slowly passed on by many officials, and not long after, a woman with a worried face came out of the side hall.

The woman doesn't look very old, maybe younger than Ye Hao, but her appearance can only be regarded as beautiful.

"The folk woman Zhang knocks to see the adult!"

As soon as the woman entered the court, she fell on her knees before the court, crying:

"My lord is going to be my husband's master! Yesterday he heard out of nowhere that locusts are edible, so he had to let his family catch them a lot, but not long after eating, he began to vomit and diarrhea, and now he is still lying in bed!"

After that, she hid her face and cried, which made people feel so sad.

Ye Hao didn't react yet, but the people at the door said it.

"Isn't that a loss of life?! They deceived people that locusts could eat them!"

"That's right! Such a strange and terrible bug can even be mouthful! It's creepy to hear!"

The uninformed people unanimously agreed that locusts, as pests, should never be eaten!

However, as soon as their words came out, they were stared at by several stout men.

"The county order hasn't come to a conclusion yet, what are you talking about here?

！」

These people are the villagers who followed Ye Hao all the way to the Yamen, and in their hearts, what Ye Hao said would not be wrong.

But Xie Yunshu on the side frowned, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at Ye Hao.

There really seems to be something wrong with this. According to what Lin Bin said, he had no discomfort after eating the fried locusts made by Ye Hao, so why did this person have an accident again?

For all kinds of reasons, I'm afraid that only Ye Hao herself can explain it clearly, right?

Not to mention, Ye Hao is also confused now!

She can pack the woman in front of her, she has never seen it, and there is no possibility that the other party will slander her.

When she was making fried locusts yesterday, there were a lot of people present, and she didn't have an idea of who they were, so she didn't know who the other party's husband was.

But if she wants to bear this charge, she refuses.

So, she arched her hand towards the county order:

"My lord, I made fried locusts yesterday in front of the shopkeeper of Mochizuki Tower and some guests, and many people ate them at the scene. I haven't heard anything wrong with those people so far, so if you have any doubts about this, why don't you summon them and ask them?"

With Fu Heng endorsing herself, Ye Hao also has some confidence in her heart.

Besides, she was 100% sure that the locusts were edible!

Hearing this, the county commander was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.

It's just such a thing, why is it even involved in the Moon Tower?

For the Fu family behind the Moon Tower, the county commander was very jealous in his heart. Can a family with rich and rival wealth in Jiangnan have nothing to do with officialdom?

Even if Fu Ru'an is the abandoned son of the Fu family, even if he is no longer treated by the current head of the family, he is also the eldest son of the righteous family.

Not to mention how many Fu family members will support him behind him, even his maternal grandfather's family is also a giant, and it is not something he can afford to provoke.

But now it's a public trial, and for the sake of his reputation, the county order can't be ambiguous, so he has to send a servant to Mochiyue Tower to ask for someone.

"Later, if there is an argument, you go out and prove it to her."

Xie Yunshu whispered to Lin Bin beside him, the expression on his face was a little gloomy.

The latter nodded, and under his calm complexion, there were strong and choppy waves.

But Xie Yunshu knew in his heart that if this county order had to condemn Ye Hao, they would not be able to save the other party based on just one side.

I still have to think of another way.

At this time, not long after the official went out, he ran into Fu Heng and his party who were riding horses.

At the time of the public trial, the guy who had already hoped for Yuelou heard the news and reported it to him, Fu Heng was also a loyal and righteous person, so he left the matter in his hand and rushed over without saying a word.

"Fu Heng, the shopkeeper of Mochizuki Tower, has seen the county magistrate!"

Fu Heng, who walked into the court, first bowed to the county order, and then stood beside Ye Hao, his attitude was very obvious.

Although the Fu family will not take such a small Jiupin county order in their eyes, he is just a shopkeeper after all, and he can't afford to put much on the shelf.

Facing Fu Heng, the tone of the county order instantly became a lot kinder.

"Shopkeeper Fu, Xie said in court earlier that he had fried locusts in front of you?"

"It is! And Xiaomin even tasted it himself, which can be regarded as a unique flavor."

Replied with a smile, Fu Heng confirmed the statement that locusts can be eaten for Ye Hao.

Seeing that he was so determined, the county commander paused, and then waved his hand and said:

"In that case, then the Xie clan is not lying, locusts are indeed edible!"

Now that he is about to be promoted, he doesn't want to mess with the Fu family.

"My lord! My husband really ate locusts and had an accident!"
