Bab 677: Magistrate Li

" So, you are here to sell this oil to me as well as bring the woman who was responsible for killing the mers in your village?" Li Meng looked at Village head Gu who had her head lowered in front of her and was acting as quietly as a quail in front of her. 

If Li Meng was, to be honest, this was her first time seeing a case like this —— never before had there come a case in front of her as the magistrate where she had to hand down both rewards and punishment to the village head in the same day. 

The fact that Village head Gu was able to get the villagers of her village to produce oil from something useless as rice bran was really commendable but at the same time, the fact that she could not realise that her sister was the one who was behind the killing of the mers was truly worrisome as well. 

After all, if a woman could not even control her family and backyard how was she supposed to control and lead the villagers of her village?
