After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 386: Once he gets wise, he becomes a ruthless person

Hearing the voice, Lin Diao turned around and looked at him.

"With the eldest master away, I can't make the decision. I'll wait until my eldest brother comes back."

"no!"

Lin Diao was so angry that he laughed, "Master Yu, if this matter is disclosed, my life will be worthless, but the prosperity of the Yu family may not be possible."

After saying that, without waiting for him to stop him, he shouted back, "Go back to the mountain!"

The Yu family only had one carriage and a few people. Master Yu watched them retreat with a gloomy face.

Yu Song stood aside, not knowing what to say, and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

After a long time, he suddenly heard his brother sneer.

"Lin Diao is a bastard. He is so arrogant that he dares to get his hands on anyone's things."

Yu Song was smart enough to keep silent.

The fact that the Erjiang River froze overnight could not be concealed.

In less than an hour, the news spread like wildfire, from the mouths of people coming into the city from outside to inside and outside Yucheng, and even reached the ears of Feng Chen, the magistrate of Yucheng.

I was busy all night last night and only took a short nap in the second half of the night. Before I had enough sleep, I was shocked by the news brought in by the yamen runner Cao Qi!
I hadn't even finished putting on my shoes when I heard a series of loud noises outside.

Feng Chen was confused.

"What happened?"

Cao Qi stood nearby, looking embarrassed and not knowing how to explain.

Feng Chen was startled and quickly put on his clothes, buttoning them while asking questions.

"Why are you hesitating? If you tell me the truth, it will give me some time to prepare myself mentally."

Cao Qi thought about it and realized that he had not done what the adults said.

Only then did he explain the reason for the commotion outside. In fact, for Feng Chen, this was really like waking up from a bad night to find himself faced with an unexpected disaster.

The Narjiang River had frozen in winter before, but this time something strange happened and people put all the blame on Feng Chen, the new county magistrate.

Some even said that this was a punishment from heaven. The water in the Erjiang River had frozen before, but it had never changed overnight!

Gyeongju Prefecture is not that cold and desolate place in the north. How could God become angry overnight!

The reason is that the new county magistrate has no moral character!
The county magistrate is so immoral as a local official that even God can't stand it. It's only the beginning of winter and the river has frozen. If things go wrong with the natural phenomena, there will be a famine next year!

Whose reason?

This is a good thing done by the unethical County Magistrate Feng Chen!

After hearing this accusation, Feng Chen became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, he almost wanted to kick the wall!

Cao Qi held him back, "Sir! You must not go out at this time!"

Feng Chen pointed at the drumbeats outside the county government office, his eyes red as he said anxiously, "They are slandering me! They don't want me, Feng Chen, to live!"

Cao Qi held him tightly, and said sternly: "Sir, you must not act rashly. It is difficult for you to escape from the bad reputation and corruption in the past. I know that you are determined to serve the people. If so, how can you easily join the game?"

Having said this, even Feng Chen couldn't help but look at him seriously a few more times.

Although he was furious, the words of the yamen runner Cao Qi finally calmed Feng Chen down a lot.

His chest was filled with rage, and since he couldn't go out, he could only pace back and forth in the room. When a doorman came to ask for permission, he was scared away by Feng Chen's words "Get lost".

There were no more strangers around, and Feng Chen calmed down a lot.

He raised his eyes and stared at Cao Qi: "You are willing to advise me now, why didn't you lend me a helping hand before?"

Cao Qi was helpless and sighed.

"You are weak and powerless, and it is difficult for you to protect yourself. How dare a villain add fuel to the fire?"

Feng Chen was so angry that his chest was heaving. Oh! He felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to hit someone.

Cao Qi was silent for a while, and then said sincerely: "These past few days, I have seen you work so hard and bravely, and I really admire you. I just reminded you not to fall into their trap."

Feng Chen knew who was right and who was wrong, so he paused and asked, "But if I see the drum, I will have to go to court to judge the case."

Cao Qi smiled, "Why don't you pretend to be sick, sir?"

Feng Chen was stunned: "???"

"Your Excellency had a dream a few days ago. It was snowing heavily. For the safety of the people in and outside Yucheng, I asked the escorts from the capital to help. I prayed overnight. Since then, the snow has turned into ice. Although it is not good for river transportation, the people are safe. However, Your Excellency has taken the punishment from heaven and fell ill."

Feng Chen was shocked:!!!
"Will this work?"

"Why not?" Cao Qi asked, "Sir, have you forgotten? Among the prisoners escorted by Sir Xiong, there really is a person with a fairy story! Yesterday, you invited Sir Xiong to your house, and the news has already spread. Sir, you don't think that others don't know that you want to borrow troops, right?"

Feng Chen gritted his teeth secretly.

Cao Qi poured a glass of water to calm Feng Chen down.

"The rumors about the Xie family are known to the people of Yucheng. Since you are now friends with Lord Xiong, why don't you borrow the power of the Xie family? Sir, the opportunity is rare and can't be taken. You can't take the punishment of heaven. You will be beheaded. At this time, you have met a fairy and a fairy event. Others have used this to trap you and make you unjust. Why don't you use this to turn the tables and escape?"

Feng Chen's eyes lit up.

"The hearts of the people are so precious, sir. Fortunes and disasters are the foundation of everything. Perhaps, once this calamity is over, the things you wish for will go smoothly!"

Feng Chen's heart was moved, but there was a struggle in his eyes and he still had a hint of concern.

"But as the sages said, a gentleman should be cautious when alone..."

Cao Qi looked at him calmly until Feng Chen could not continue speaking.

Feng Chen was silent for a while, deciding to just throw the jar into the air.

"When it comes to working for the benefit of the people, how can I, Feng Chen, only care about my own innocence and associate with wolves? How can I stick to the old ways?"

Feng Chen, who finally figured it out, patted Cao Qi on the shoulder.

"Please trouble Officer Cao to inform Convict Xiong and ask Doctor Lu to come to the county government office."

"Yes! Sir, I will go and get Doctor Lu right away! Sir, please hold on."

Feng Chen nodded heavily.

Afterwards, the master and servant split up. Feng Chen went first to write a letter of apology, then he suddenly opened the door to the back house and stood shirtless at the seal to blow the wind. He was both cruel and crazy. He felt that the wind was not cold enough, so he poured cold water on himself and continued to suffer.

By the time Xiong Jiushan received the news and Lu Hongwen was invited to the Yucheng County Court, the magistrate Feng Chen had already begun to feel dizzy and disoriented. He felt as if he was in the six paths and his spirit was outside the five elements.

Cao Qi, who had just returned from his errand, was horrified!

He asked the adults to pretend to be sick, he was not really sick!
Lu Hongwen was hurriedly invited over. He was also frightened at the sight. He turned around and couldn't help scolding Cao Qi: "The adults are already so sick, and you just called me! You - ah!"

It’s important to save lives first.

Cao Qi stood aside, feeling helpless and speechless.

Lu Hongwen felt Feng Chen's pulse and checked his condition. Seeing Feng Chen's condition, he, as a kind-hearted doctor, turned around and poured out two pills of the "magic medicine" that Xie Yuchuan had given him from his medicine box and fed them to County Magistrate Feng Chen.

Then find pen and ink to write the prescription.

On the bed, Feng Chen struggled to open his eyes, and with the last bit of consciousness he had, he raised his hand to remind Cao Qi: "On the table...post the notice...post it!"

After saying this, the man fainted from the burn.

Xie Yuchuan woke up from a short nap, and after listening to what Xiong Jiushan relayed, he felt refreshed.

He was speechless for a long time before he found his voice again.

"Once this scholar gets wise, he will be really scary."

"He's a ruthless man."
