I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and took a closer look.

Isn't this the Magistrate of Anding County, Lord Jiang Zuo? !

"Who is this ignorant person again!"

Huang Zhenbang was extremely impatient and shouted loudly.

After the crowd dispersed, Jiang Zuo appeared in front of Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun turned around and saw Jiang Zuo. His originally stern and fierce eyes somehow softened.

"Who the hell are you? Get out if you don't want to die!" Huang Zhenbang narrowed his eyes, still showing arrogance and disdain.

"Who am I? I am a little-known county magistrate from Jiangzuo."

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

"Jiang Zuo? Then it's not..."

Hearing the name, Huang Zhenbang shuddered and wiped his eyes quickly. He was still a little drunk, but suddenly sobered up.

"Jiang, Lord Jiang... So you are Jiang Zuo, Lord Jiang, why are you here?"

Huang Zhenbang stuttered, his arrogance lessened a bit.

How could he not know Jiang Zuo's name and deeds? He was just half drunk and didn't react for a while.

"What happened?"

Jiang Zuo had just finished his meal and wanted to take a walk on the street, but he didn't expect to encounter this.

"Lord Jiang, do all the rich young men in your county like to bully men and women so much?" Chen Qingyun asked.

Jiang Zuo quickly explained: "Miss Chen, don't get me wrong, this guy is not from Anding County, he is just here for tourism. The people of Anding County are all law-abiding and never do anything shameful, I hope you all know this."

"Yeah yeah."

The onlookers all echoed the sentiment.

Chen Qingyun was quite disdainful and would not do anything shameful?

You, a county magistrate in Jiangzuo, are leading the way in corruption, and yet you have the nerve to say such high-sounding words.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am from another county and have nothing to do with Lord Jiang." Huang Zhenbang looked embarrassed in his words.

"My lord? Have you drunk too much? Ah?" Jiang Zuo's words were full of majesty.

Jiang Zuo's words were originally quite calm, but the sudden shouting made people feel frightened.

"Sir, I admit my guilt." Huang Wenming hurriedly lowered his head and bowed, completely losing his previous momentum.

"You are Huang Zhenbang, the fourth son of the Jiangnan Huang family, right?" Jiang Zuo asked.

"Yes, sir." Huang Zhenbang's voice gradually became weaker.

"Oh, I have a good relationship with your father Huang Fu. Do you want me to tell your father about this?" Jiang Zuo threatened.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhenbang's face turned pale.

The person he fears most in his life is his father.

If he told this to his father, it would be more painful than killing Huang Zhenbang!

He had experienced all these things.

"Sir, please don't do that. I know I was wrong." Huang Wenming begged for mercy. "Please don't tell my father!"

"Kneel down!" Jiang Zuo shouted loudly.

Huang Wenming didn't even think about it and just knelt on the ground with a plop.

Chen Qingyun was stunned watching from the side.

The Huang family, one of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, was so respectful to Jiang Zuo!

Thinking about how Huang Zhenbang had just made things difficult for her, and then looking at Huang Zhenbang's pitiful face at this moment.

Chen Qingyun once again felt that Jiang Zuo was definitely not a simple person.

At least he is definitely not a simple corrupt official.

Chen Qingyun couldn't help but think that although Jiang Zuo was a greedy person, at least he had a sense of justice in his heart and was worthy of being a local county magistrate.

At least today, when he visited incognito, most of the county residents had a very positive opinion of him.

Now he has stepped forward to help Chen Qingyun solve his problems and has not gone along with these noblemen, so he can be considered a qualified county magistrate.

Since he is truly a good official who loves his people like his own children, we will not pursue his past behavior of amassing wealth.

The cabinet now needs talents like Jiang Zuo.

"Now, immediately, apologize to these two girls." Jiang Zuo ordered.

"Ladies, it was me... No, it was me who was blind. I apologize to you two. Please don't bear grudges." Huang Zhenbang apologized repeatedly, in stark contrast to his previous tyranny.

"It's not enough to just apologize, you also have to make amends. What do you think?" Jiang Zuo said again.

"Yes, yes." Huang Zhenbang nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he just wanted to leave quickly.

"One thousand taels is not too much, right?" Jiang Zuo said.

"Not much, not much. Just whatever the adults say."

This number is nothing to Huang Zhenbang.

Jiang Zuo then realized that he had said too little.

"How about this, you take the silver to the government office first, and I will collect it for the two girls."

"Yes, yes." Huang Zhenbang agreed without thinking.

"Okay, go away."

"Thank you, sir." Huang Zhenbang left in embarrassment with the help of many followers.

Why is this guy still thinking about money?

Hearing Jiang Zuo's words, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but frown again.

The sudden good impression disappeared immediately.

How powerful is this man Jiang Zuo to be able to make the Huang family in Jiangnan bow down to him?

"Miss Chen, I'm really sorry. I failed to entertain you well."

Jiang Zuo turned around and spoke respectfully to Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Jiang Zuo's words and deeds, thinking: "Jiang Zuo is quite a gentleman."

"Thank you, Lord Jiang, for your help." Chen Qingyun stopped being so arrogant and thanked Jiang Zuo.

"This is what I should do." Jiang Zuo said, "By the way, I wonder if the young lady is free today."

Chen Qingyun said: "I do have some important things to do today, so I'll take my leave now."

"Well, I won't bother Miss Chen anymore."

Jiang Yun said, feeling so sorry.

Alas, it seems that I will not have the chance to discuss business with this rich girl from Guanzhong today.

Considering that he would be leaving Anding County soon, how could he not make more money?

Looking at Chen Qingyun's leaving figure, Jiang Zuo couldn't help but sigh. "This girl is so pretty and has a top-notch temperament. If I can marry her, my life will be worth it."

However, this woman must be from a wealthy family. I wonder if she would be interested in a small county magistrate like Jiang Zuo. But on second thought, if she could marry into a wealthy merchant's family, Jiang Zuo wouldn't mind...

As for Chen Qingyun, despite the trouble he had just experienced, he was actually quite calm.

After walking for a while, she couldn't help but turn her head back, and her eyes lingered on Jiang Zuo who was not far away.

She was stunned for a moment, thinking: "Although he likes to amass wealth and his life is not simple, he is still a good official after all. I issued an imperial decree today, asking him to hand over one million. Is this amount a bit too much?"

One million taels is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

A small county town like Anding naturally cannot afford it.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Qingyun stunned, Qiuyue couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"fine."

Chen Qingyun turned around and continued walking forward.

When there was no one around, Chen Qingyun's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he whispered, "Immediately send the Thousand Cavalry Division to take Huang Zhenbang to prison and execute him today!"

Having offended the Empress, you still want to see the sun tomorrow?
