When it comes to officials protecting each other, these people are the most qualified.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Xiao glanced at Master Ao.

Most of the Liao army that returned to Liaodong had retired from the First Division. They were considered to be Mr. Ao's old subordinates!

"Ten years ago, the old man was the village chief's clerk. It was the old man's business to store things in the village and keep accounts."

"Are you literate?"

Since you can keep accounts, you can definitely write.

Now that the children are in school, it’s not surprising that they can read. But the old man is over fifty this year, so it’s a big deal that he can write.

"The old man went to private school, but he never got any honors."

Li Xiao curled his lips helplessly, looking at his age. When this guy wanted to take the exam to become a scholar, he must have caught up with the Aisin Gioros making a fuss.

At that time, Liaodong was in chaos, and there was no need to take exams for honors.

"Who are you suing?" asked Mr. Ao, who was standing next to Li Xiao.

"The person who is suing is our village chief Wu Dasheng. Ten years ago, he embezzled more than a thousand kilograms of grain from the village and sold it to the Koreans privately.

He also used the food in the village to go to the city to exchange for things to give gifts to the county officials.

During the Chinese New Year, pigs, sheep and even cows from the village are given to the elders in the county to eat."

"...!" Li Xiao was speechless. This old guy probably wasn't very smart either.

All the officials in the county have received gifts from others. If you sue in front of them, who will win?

"The old man's letter of complaint was returned to Wu Dasheng within a few days.

He arrested the old man and beat him half to death. He also drove the old man's family out of the house and made the old man live in a cowshed.

He is so powerful that the old man can't win even if he sues, so he can only endure it.

Can……!

But six years ago, my son originally chose to join the Liao Army as a soldier, but his son rejected him!

Although the old man offended him, he can't take away my son's future.

I went to argue with him, and he not only beat the old man, but also broke my son's legs.

I have pity on my son, he has become disabled at a young age.

The old man was so angry that he could only continue to appeal. He went to the village and the county to lodge a complaint.

But every time he complained, he would be beaten by Wu Dasheng after he came back.

He...he even tied up the old man and paraded him through the streets!

Wearing a big hat, he asked his son to slap the old man in the face with his shoe sole."

"...!" Li Xiao was speechless. In a place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, a village chief is almost like a local emperor!

"Later, the old man's son got married...!"

"Wait! Your family already lives in a cowshed, and there is still a girl willing to marry your disabled son?" Master Ao obviously heard something unreasonable.

Things in this kind of country are very complicated, and sometimes you bite the guy who makes false accusations, and your acting skills are also very good.

Although Mr. Ao has never judged a case, he has heard about it a lot.

"My daughter-in-law is Korean. In order to register as a Ming Dynasty household registration, Koreans are willing to marry as long as our Ming Dynasty men are willing to marry."

This makes sense.

Although the old man's son is disabled, he still has a Ming Dynasty household registration.

According to the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", foreign women who were married to the Ming Dynasty as their official wives could be registered in the Ming Dynasty household registration.

However, if a Ming Dynasty woman marries outside her Ming Dynasty household registration, her Ming Dynasty household registration will be cancelled.

However, no Ming Dynasty woman willingly married a foreigner.

However, every year, many foreign women come to the Ming Dynasty to be concubines, hoping to have a chance to become regular women and obtain the Ming Dynasty household registration.
