Ji Zhenniang watched in bewilderment and ran over, saying, "That's it? Shouldn't we take them to the county government office for punishment? Locking them up like this, what's the point? We'd have to waste grain feeding them."
That would be too much trouble.
Gu Jinli said, "If they got their hands on a real contract and dared to scheme against people in the village, it means they have connections in the government office. If we take them there for trial now, do you think we can win?"
It's likely Qian Qiwen and the others will be fine, but instead, we might be secretly harmed by the county government.
Ji Zhenniang was shocked, "No, that can't be, right?"
After all, it's the county government, a place for seeking justice for the people, can it really help the evil men?
Gu Jinli: "Their business is already up and running, and it's not just them; people from several villages are collaborating together. What's impossible for them now?"
