The Golden County Magistrate

Zhao Changhe looked at him in astonishment.

This guy, did he think that he thought the silver was too little?

Seeing his strange expression, Xiong Jin thought that he had guessed right, and was secretly happy.

It was indeed the case!

Zhao Changhe was too greedy, and he actually thought that 20,000 taels of silver was not enough. There was no choice but to give this guy another 30,000 taels to avoid disaster!

After a long while, Zhao Changhe came back to his senses and turned to the recorder and said, "Write it down, the criminal Xiong Jin did not repent, and bribed 30,000 taels of silver in court, and the crime was aggravated!"

Xiong Jin was petrified instantly!

It was not until this moment that he finally understood that it was not a matter of how much silver was!

Zhao Changhe was determined to punish him!

Two palace guards stepped forward and took him back to the hall to kneel down.

"Take off his official hat, official robe and official boots!" He Dun shouted.

"Yes!" The palace guard agreed, and in no time, took off Xiong Jin's official hat, robe, and boots.

"No...you can't do this..." Xiong Jin didn't dare to resist, and could only whine weakly and let them do what they wanted.

"Xiong Jin, the county magistrate of Lianggu County, fabricated evidence and framed Chen Yan, the county magistrate of Qingshan County. Xiong Jin, do you plead guilty?" He Dun said coldly.

"I...I don't admit it!" Xiong Jin said desperately.

"Okay, if you refuse to plead guilty despite the conclusive evidence, your crime will be even worse!" He Dun said bluntly.

"Ah, this...this..." Xiong Jin was soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Chen Yan, who was standing aside, finally walked to his side until this moment, squatted down, and looked at the despair on his face with a smile.

"Mr. Neng, you must have some conscience! It's shameful to not dare to take responsibility for what you have done!" He said leisurely.

These words were said by Xiong Jin to him before.

Now, the original words are returned, which is particularly ironic.

Xiong Jin's face turned pale, and he suddenly understood what Chen Yan meant by the inexplicable words earlier.

Chen Yan was watching when he could react, and he was talking about this matter!

From the beginning, the whole momentum was wrong, but he never noticed it, and he was still self-righteous, thinking that everything was under control!

Zhao Changhe's voice continued to come down: "He Fucheng, according to the law, immediately detain the magistrate of Lianggu County, Xiong Jin, and the subsequent investigation will be carried out by you personally. You must get to the bottom of this matter!"

He Dun immediately said: "I obey the order!"

Xiong Jin's eyes went dark, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fainted on the ground.

It's over, it's completely over now!

Zhao Changhe stood up, walked in front of him, and signaled the left and right guards to go away.

The guards on both sides didn't understand why, and retreated as ordered.

Xiong Jin looked up at him with tears blurred.

Zhao Changhe sighed and said softly: "How dare you provoke someone who even I can't afford to offend? Confess your crime! At least, your life can be saved."

Xiong Jin was shocked and turned his head in disbelief to look at Chen Yan who had returned to his chair!

What does this mean?

Could it be that Zhao Changhe was also forced by Chen Yan?

But the latter was just a seventh-rank county magistrate, how could he have such ability!

Zhao Changhe turned around and left the inner hall.

Two palace guards stepped forward and dragged Xiong Jin out of the inner hall.

He Dun walked up to Chen Yan and said coldly: "County Magistrate Chen, although you were framed by Xiong Jin this time, it does not mean that you have no problems. Please take this as a warning and don't do anything wrong."

After speaking, he walked away without waiting for Chen Yan to answer.

There were several palace guards, palace officials, and recorders in the inner hall. They all felt his rejection and harshness towards Chen Yan and frowned slightly.

County Magistrate Chen was framed and wronged. You could just say a few words to comfort him, but why do you have to be so cold to him?

But it's none of my business, so I don't need to get involved in this mess.

Chen Yan smiled bitterly, said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then left.

In this way, no one should think that he has anything to do with He Dun.

It was past noon when they returned to the posthouse.

As soon as Chen Yan and Qian Wu entered the yard, they heard people counting inside.

"Three hundred and twelve, three hundred and thirteen, three hundred and fourteen..."

When they entered, they saw Wei Han continuing to do push-ups on the ground. Although he was sweating through his clothes, he still persisted.

And his movements were obviously more skilled and standard than yesterday, at least he didn't stick his butt out.

Chen Yan turned to Qian Wu and said, "I wanted to go out for a meal with Miss Wei, but it seems better not to disturb her hard training. Let's go."

Before Qian Wu responded, Wei Han had already climbed up like a fly: "I want to go too!"

When she heard that there was food, the girl's eyes lit up.

The breakfast in the morning disappointed her greatly. The chef of the posthouse was really not good enough and could not compare with the food in Qingshan County.

Not to mention compared with Lu Qing'er's cooking skills, even compared with the snacks and pastries sold by street vendors, it was far behind.

The mostAfter that, she could only eat half full, and now she was already hungry.

Chen Yan laughed: "I have seen people who like to eat, but you are the first one to eat so much! Let's go! I am in a good mood, and I will treat you today!"

Wei Han's cheeks were slightly red. In fact, she was not like this in front of strangers. It was just that after getting familiar with Chen Yan and others, she was naturally not so reserved.

"Wait, I will wash up a little." She turned around and went back to the house.

After Chen Yan left, she practiced hard for a whole morning, sweating all over, and her manners were completely lost. After all, she was going to a public place like a restaurant, so she had to dress neatly to avoid being laughed at.

Chen Yan and Qian Wu didn't care and waited outside.

Half a quarter of an hour passed.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, Wei Han hadn't come out yet, and Chen Yan couldn't help it.

Why do women in the Great Zhou like the girls in his previous life, who like to delay for so long before going out? Girls in his previous life put on makeup, but the makeup technology in the Great Zhou Dynasty is so backward now, why would it take so much time?

He couldn't help but walk to the front of the house and knocked on the door: "Miss Wei? Are you almost done?"

Wei Han's voice came from inside: "I haven't finished washing yet!"

Chen Yan was surprised and said: "Wash? What can you wash for so long?"

Wei Han's embarrassed voice came out: "It's not a problem of washing... It's... It's... There's no faucet here..."

Chen Yan was stunned: "Isn't this nonsense? That's a specialty of my Qingshan County, how can there be one in this place? But what if there is no faucet?"

Wei Han calmed down.

After a long while, the door creaked and opened a crack: "Master Chen, can you...can you help me?"

Chen Yan looked through the crack in the door and saw no one. She must have been hiding behind the door, and she couldn't help but be alert: "You are not hiding behind the door to attack me?"

Wei Han said angrily: "Who wants to attack you! I want to deal with you, do I need to attack you?"

Chen Yan rolled her eyes: "That's hard to say, what else could it be if it wasn't a sneak attack this morning?"

Wei Han was speechless for a moment, and then said impatiently: "Don't talk about that! Master Chen, can you take this bucket and help me get some water?"

As she said that, she widened the crack in the door and stuffed a bucket out.

When she stuffed the bucket, her left arm stretched out from behind the door. Chen Yan took a look and was stunned.
