Ye Muyu had just come out of the room and was about to get up and wash up.
The person who came was the village chief.
Li Youde did not come in. He just stood at the door and said, "The county is going to open a court today to interrogate the witnesses of Tang Bao's case. Lil' Jin and Zhang Cong need to go to the county office."
Teacher Lin was already brought to the county office that day.
It was also because the two children were young that the county magistrate gave them time to ease up.
Zhang Shu quickly nodded and said that he understood. He had long heard about this matter on the day the Tang family returned to the village.
He was about to turn around and report the situation to his wife when Li Youde reached out to stop him. "Don't be anxious. Tell Ah Heng's wife that some villagers will be going too. They'll gather at the village entrance. We'll set off together in fifteen minutes."
