Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"County Magistrate Chen, why don't you let us go?"

"Boss, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but that person is still waiting for an answer in Qinghe County. It's difficult for me to let you go because of this." County Magistrate Chen had a bitter look on his face.

"So what do you want to do?" Wang Yi asked.

"How about you tell me some information, and then I will find two people to be executed in your place, so that the lives of your two brothers can be saved."

"Oh, the lives of our two brothers? Impossible. I want you to save the lives of all the brothers in the village."

"Boss, there are still more than a dozen brothers alive in the village. Where can I find a dozen to take over the execution?"

"County Magistrate Chen, don't forget that I still have the evidence against you. If you can't save the lives of my brothers, then I will use your evidence..."

County Magistrate Chen's face changed. He originally wanted to be a good official and kill all these bandits to protect the peace of the people. However, he made a mistake and was caught by Wang Yi. Wang Yi used this as an evidence to threaten County Magistrate Chen not to touch Bawangzhai, and at the same time, he had to assist them in doing bad things.

So County Magistrate Chen and Wang Yi acted out a play together. On the surface, they had accomplished a great task of suppressing bandits, and County Magistrate Chen also received a reward from the emperor. Later, Wang Yi and his men would share some of the silver and money they earned from robbery every year with County Magistrate Chen.

If you taste too much sweetness, you will lose your true nature.

"Got it. I'll find a way. Tell me any recent news so I can report it to you. The young marquis and his men would never find Ba Wang Village for no reason. There must be a reason, and he's just waiting for that reason now." County Magistrate Chen said.

After County Magistrate Chen finished speaking, he left.

"Brother, could it be that what we did for that person before was discovered?"

"Impossible. When something happened in other places before, the superiors told us to stop doing anything. We didn't do anything, so how could we be discovered?"

"What should we do now? We don't have any other news."

"They probably didn't come here because of some rumors. Don't be scared by County Magistrate Chen. Do you remember the woman that the third brother brought back? I think they came here for that woman."

"Isn't that woman just a maid? Don't you think it's too much to make such a fuss over a maid?" Wang Er was puzzled.

Wang Yi couldn't understand it either. When Wang San tied the person back, Wang Yi scolded him, asking why he dared to kidnap someone at this critical juncture? Even if he kidnapped him, he couldn't send him away.

But Wang San said that he had observed and found that the woman was just a maid who was quite pretty. No one cared about a little maid, and besides, the brothers had not tasted her for a long time. When Wang Yi heard that it was just a maid and no one cared about her, he also became interested.

"And that damn woman actually dared to kill the third brother. I want to avenge my third brother!"

"Let's not talk about revenge for now. We don't even know if we can get out alive."

"But brother, County Magistrate Chen said that he won't let us go unless we get some information."

"No, I have leverage over him. If I use this to threaten him, he will have to let us go even if he doesn't give me the information."

"Master, has something happened? I have noticed that you always go out early and come back late recently, and you are not in a good mood." After County Magistrate Chen returned home, Mrs. Chen came over and massaged County Magistrate Chen's shoulders.

"Oh, stop talking, the young marquis is here."

"Young Marquis? But the young Marquis who is very favored by the emperor?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you let Qianjin go and meet him?" Madam Chen gently pushed, "Qianjin is also at the age to get married. If it is possible..."

"No, don't think about it, and don't let Qianjin know about this."

"Master." Madam Chen sat down at the side. "You see, you are so upset now. Isn't it because you are worried about the young marquis and you are afraid that he will find out something? But if Qian Jin can capture the young marquis's heart, then why should you be afraid? He will help you, his father-in-law, right?"

"Would the young marquis be interested in our daughter?" County Magistrate Chen was skeptical.

"Why not? Our daughter is the most beautiful girl in Lin County. You know how many people want to marry her. Why do you have no confidence in your daughter?"

"Madam is right. I will arrange a meeting between the young marquis and our daughter tomorrow." County Magistrate Chen put on a smile, but then he became distressed again.

"Why is the master crying again? Is there something else?"

Mrs. Chen did not know about the activities of County Magistrate Chen and Wang Yi, and County Magistrate Chen was not in a position to say anything. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.

"I made a mistake before and someone caught me with it. Now that person wants to use it to threaten me. What should I do?"

"What handle?"

"That handle is not big, but it is not small either."

"What does he want your husband to do by threatening him?"

"He committed a crime and has been arrested. He wants me to let him go, but there are people watching him outside. I can't let him go. If I let him go, his future will be ruined."

Mrs. Chen thought for a moment, "Is that person's family still alive?"

"They are all in prison."

"Why don't you just do it directly..." Madam Chen made a gesture of wiping her neck, "Since his family members are in prison, it proves that there is no one outside who can help him. And my husband also said that if he is released, his future will be ruined, which proves that this person is a disaster to the court. What's wrong with my husband helping the court get rid of the disaster?"

"Madam, you are right. You are truly my good wife." County Magistrate Chen stood up with a smile.

"Where is my husband going?"

"I, your husband, will solve the problem as your wife asked."

"What about the thousand gold?"

"Go tell Qianjin to get ready and come with me to see the young marquis tomorrow."

"Yes, sir, take care."

"Wang Yi, do you really have nothing to tell me?"

"Haha, Magistrate Chen, I've already told you that we only robbed some money. You know that, but we just didn't happen to run into them this time. How can we get any news?"

"Well, if that's the case, then this is the only way." County Magistrate Chen waved his hand, and several people walked in with swords.

Wang Yi's face was gloomy. "Mr. Chen, what do you mean? Are you going to cross the river and destroy the bridge?"

"Wang Yi, who told you to mess with the wrong person this time? I can't protect you anymore."

"County Magistrate Chen, don't forget that I still have leverage over you."

"If he's alive, that's what we call a handle. Only if he's dead can we truly keep the secret." County Magistrate Chen gestured downward.

Several people stepped forward and killed Wang Yi, Wang Er and the rest of the captured people.

"Deal with these bodies properly." County Magistrate Chen said and left.

"You two go push a cart and we'll send the people to the mass grave." said the leader.

The remaining people dumped all the bodies onto the cart and pushed them to the mass grave.

"Ma'am, all the people have been dealt with." said the man who had just ordered the bodies to be sent to the mass grave.

"Are you sure they're all killed?" A woman wearing a black hooded cape and a veil on her face asked.

"Yes, they were all stabbed many times, and it is confirmed that no one survived."

"it is good."

"That little man's sister?"

"Don't worry, your sister is doing well with me, and I won't treat her badly."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Xier, where is Madam?" County Magistrate Chen returned home and did not see Madam Chen.

"My Lord, the Madam has taken the young lady to buy new clothes."

"Mom, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course. When has mother ever lied to you?"

The voices of Miss Chen and Madam Chen talking came from outside the door, and County Magistrate Chen went out to greet them.

"Ma'am, where have you been?"

"Master?" Madam Chen was surprised. "Has the master's affairs been dealt with? Didn't the master say that he would take the daughter and the young marquis to have a meal tomorrow? I was thinking of taking the daughter to buy some clothes."

"Well, it's been dealt with. However, I haven't sent a letter to the young marquis about having dinner with him."

"Dad, why are you so slow? This concerns my daughter's lifelong event." Chen Qianjin stomped her feet.

"Well, your father just had some official business to attend to. He will invite you when he is done."

"Yes, yes, Dad will go and invite him now, ma'am."

"Okay, go back to your room first. I'll send someone to tell you when your father and the young marquis have decided." Madam Chen patted Miss Chen's hand, and Miss Chen took the maid back to her room.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"How do you think I should ask the young marquis out?"

Mrs. Chen didn't expect that Mr. Chen was so anxious to find her just to ask this matter. "Master, you have been an official for so many years, don't you know how to make an invitation?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Seeing that Master Chen still looked confused, Madam Chen said, "Master must have something important to tell the young Marquis. If the young Marquis knew about this important matter, he would definitely attend the banquet."

"Madam, you are right. You are smart." Mr. Chen walked forward and kissed Madam Chen.

"Oh, everyone is watching here." Madam Chen said shyly, "I am just a little clever, not presentable, how can I compare with you, Master."

"I'll go and deliver the letter to the young marquis right now." County Magistrate Chen left in a hurry.
