Chapter 309 Asking Questions
The two returned to the yamen. The lamps were already lit by the door, and the yamen on duty had also changed. When they saw them coming, they asked: "Why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"
Luo Sha walked up to the man with a smile and said, "No, there is something going on in the village. Come and ask Brother Ma."
"Then go, he is still with Mr. Qi."
"Alas!"
The two of them walked outside the room where Qi Renli was doing business. They didn't dare to push the door open and go in. Instead, they stepped on their feet and looked inside.
The window has just been papered with new paper, and when the light shines inside, the shadow can be clearly reflected on the window paper.
"Who else?" Rosa asked.
There was more than one person in the room.
"It should be Lord Qi." Luo Si guessed.
"Then shall we go in?" Rosa asked again, "How about calling Brother Ma out?"
"Knock on the door first." Luo Si said, "I have to say hello to Mr. Qi after all."
"What you said makes sense." He said this, but took a step back.
The meaning was obvious. Luo Si understood it and knocked on the door. The door was soon opened. To his surprise, it was Mr. Qi who opened the door.
The two of them hurriedly saluted Qi Renli.
"Aren't you in the lower office?" Qi Renli asked, "What happened?"
Luo Si braced himself and replied: "Sir, we would like to have a few words with Brother Ma."
Qi Renli turned around and called out Malaifu, who was doing the accounting.
"Brother Ma!" Looking at the closed door, Luo Sha stepped forward and pulled the person further away. "I'm sorry to have delayed your business. We have something urgent in the village that I want to ask you."
"Ask me about things in your village?"
"That's it..." Luo Sha recounted what had just happened in the village, "Now, the villagers insist on driving her out. Let's come over and ask if the villagers have to go to the Yamen to go through any procedures to expel her?"< br>
Ma Laifu scratched his head, "I don't know about such a thing."
Luo Si said: "Although you entered the Yamen together with us, the two adults value you, and because you are attentive, you know more about many things than we do. We don't know who to ask, so we want to ask you first." .”
Rosa nodded, "Yes!"
Ma Laifu thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Meng about this kind of thing. Others are useless and can't make the decision."
When Luo Sha heard that he was going to ask the county magistrate, he became even more afraid. He looked at Luo Si, hoping that he could come up with a solution.
Ma Laifu said to the two of them, "At this moment, Mr. Meng should still be in the front office. You should just go to the study to find him."
"This..." Luo Sha whispered, "It's not a good idea to ask Mr. Meng about such a trivial matter, right?"
Ma Laifu said, "This is no small matter. Don't waste time here. Go quickly! Mr. Meng returns early these days. If he goes late, he can only wait until tomorrow."
< br>
"Alas!"
The two of them walked to Meng Changqing's study under the watch of Ma Laifu.
But the further they walked, the more hesitant they became. Luo Sha said, "It wouldn't look good if I asked Mr. Meng about this matter."
Luo Si couldn't understand, "What's not good about this."
"Others won't think that we should show off after gaining a little power, right?"
"Why do you think so?" The two of them had already arrived at the study door while they were talking. The door was closed and the light was on inside. Neither of them dared to knock on the door rashly.
"How about we come back tomorrow?" Rosa flinched.
"Didn't Wang Lamei leave tomorrow morning? Is it too late to ask again tomorrow?" Luo Si asked back. Just when they were struggling, Bafang came over with tea. Seeing the two of them at the door, he stopped them and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Luo Sha saw Bafang and smiled habitually, "Mr. Ba, we want to ask you something, but I don't know if it's convenient for you."
"Then go in." Bafang said, opening the door with his foot, and shouted into the room: "Master, Luo Si and the others have something to do with you."
Luo Sha only heard Master Meng's voice coming from inside, "Come in."
"Let's go." Bafang also gestured to them with his mouth.
The two of them followed Bafang and walked in restrainedly. When they looked up, they saw a row of bookshelves that were taller than a person. The bookshelves were filled with books. Master Meng was sitting not far from the bookshelves, engrossed in writing something on a paper.
After Bafang came in, he got busy. He first put down the tea in his hand, and then stood next to the desk to grind ink.
"We'll collect these after they've dried." After Meng Changqing finished explaining to Bafang, he looked up at Luo Silo and Luo Sha, and asked with a smile: "What's the problem?"
Rosa replied with heart in mind, "I don't know who to ask about matters in our village, so I asked Brother Ma, and he told us that only you can make the decision."
Meng Changqing nodded, "Okay, let's talk about what's going on in your village."
Luo Sha told the story again, and Bafang frowned as he listened. There are people like this in the world. When they can live a good life, they insist on acting like monsters.
Of course Meng Changqing knew Jiang Chan and Luo Sanmu, and was very concerned when he heard that the matter was related to their children.
But after thinking for a long time, she couldn't remember who Wang Lamei was, so she asked.
Luo Sha hurriedly said: "It's Luo Xinzhu's mother."
Meng Changqing was about to say that he didn't know Luo Xinzhu either, when Luo Si added, "She is the ex-mother-in-law of the man selling millet cakes in the market."
With this said, Meng Changqing had an idea, "The family that Shu Erhua married before."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Meng Changqing asked: "Now is your village deciding to drive this person named Wang Lamei out?"
"Yes." Luosha followed behind, "I don't know if we can do this, so the two of us came to ask you."
Meng Changqing said: "According to the laws of Beishan County, you cannot drive her away. Her land is allocated to Luojia Village and is recognized by the law. If she is unwilling to leave, you have no right to deal with her privately."
Luo Sha was surprised that she accidentally broke the law and quickly defended herself, "Everyone in the village wanted to drive her away. We just came to ask the government what they wanted."
"What the government means is, no, your village cannot expel her." Meng Changqing concluded, but added: "But she tried to harm the girl, which is illegal. Since she has admitted, we can sue her for it. ”
Rosa was already thinking about what she would say when she returned to the village later.
Luo Si did not give up, "Sir, is there really no way for her to leave Luojia Village?"
Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Go back and think about what I said. I still have things to deal with."
This allowed them to leave, and the two had no choice but to say goodbye.
After leaving the yamen gate, Luo Sha complained to Luo Si, "Look at what you said in front of the adults. The adults have already said that it is no longer possible. Why are you still asking? The adults are obviously unhappy."
Luo Si stared blankly ahead, thinking about what Meng Changqing had just said.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Rosa patted him, "Are you scared to death?"
"My lord said, let us think about what she said."
"Don't you have to drive people away? Your Majesty said no, no. Your Majesty asked you to think about what he said before."
"No!" Luo Si suddenly clapped his hands, "If you don't want to leave!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I understand what you mean!" Luo Si grabbed Luo Sha's arm, "She can just leave if she wants to!"
