"In reply to the young marquis, Lord Chen should have entered the city before us by now."

Xifeng answered cautiously.

"After entering Lu'an, find an opportunity to meet with Lord Chen and give him a copy of the clues in hand so that he can understand them. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a place to start for a while."

"Yes! Young Marquis." The group mounted their horses and galloped away again.

Many new faces came to Lu'an city today, but County Magistrate Wang knew nothing about them.

He was dealing with the human traffickers in the village.

Some of the children and women abducted from the village have been claimed by their families, but there are still nineteen whose families have not been found.

The effect of the medicine has not yet worn off and he is in a coma.

no way!

Lord Wang had no choice but to use the farm as the county government office and conduct his work on site.

After all, we can’t take these unconscious people away.

The abducted people are easy to deal with. They will wake up soon after being treated by the doctor. Then we can ask their village heads and clan members to verify the identities of their family members. Once it is confirmed that they are a family, they can be let go.

It is also easy to deal with if the family members of the missing person cannot be found. First, take the person back to the county government office, and then post notices everywhere to invite the family members of the missing person to come and claim the person. Although it is cumbersome, it is not difficult.

The problem lies with the human traffickers. If it was an ordinary kidnapper, it would be easy to deal with, but who would have expected that there would be a tricky monkey here.

According to his confession, he was a man on death row under Governor Liu.

All the prisoners in death row are on death row. This man should have died long ago!

How did he appear in his jurisdiction?

Doesn't this cost his life?

Anyone with a brain can tell that there must be something fishy going on here.

However, he didn't want to touch upon the secrets of Governor Liu, nor did he dare to do so.

But now it's causing a lot of uproar, and so many people are watching.

He didn't dare to be blatantly partial.

How to do?How to do?

He seemed to be handling things calmly, but in fact he was extremely anxious inside, like boiling water, bubbling and tumbling.

He is nothing in front of Governor Liu.

Governor Liu had a family background. Although the Liu family in the capital was not a large aristocratic family, they had intermarried with aristocratic families, and within three generations there had been family members in the officialdom, doing very well.

However, he came from a poor family and had no capable relatives to rely on, so becoming a county magistrate would be the end of his career.

He has no background and no great achievements.

Now, with such a big case happening during his term of office, it is hard to say whether he can keep his official position.

Normally, human traffickers kidnapping a few people is not a big deal, and it happens in every state.

But who has ever seen human traffickers kidnap so many people in one place?

But his Lu'an is taking advantage of the situation.

Bullying, isn't it?

It's a continuous crime, such a heinous incident!

How could such bad luck happen to me?

The confession was so complete, and it was given in public. These damn bastards were going to kill me.

County Magistrate Wang was so angry that he stamped his feet.

Governor Liu didn't like him in the first place, and this monkey was now a hot potato. How could he deal with it without affecting himself and continue to survive in the position of county magistrate?

He is really not greedy.

I haven't come up with a perfect plan yet, so I can only take it one step at a time.

All prisoners were taken into custody.

The abducted persons who woke up had to give statements one by one and record the location of their homes. Some of them were too young to explain clearly and burst into tears as they could not see their families.

County Magistrate Wang: If I wasn’t afraid of losing face, I would cry too.

After a period of chaos, those who should be imprisoned were finally imprisoned, and those who should be resettled were resettled.

Just as Magistrate Wang was about to take a sip of tea to calm his nerves, he heard someone shout, "Inspector General Chen is here!"

"Puff..." County Magistrate Wang spat out the tea before it even entered his throat in fright.

And unfortunately, I choked and kept coughing! Cough...

County Magistrate Wang: It’s over! It’s all over! Whatever you fear will come true.

He quickly straightened his official uniform, adjusted his official hat, and trotted out to greet the distinguished Inspector.

Lord Chen waited patiently at the gate of the county government office. His face was calm, but he was still amazed at the young marquis's magical powers.

As soon as he arrived in Lu'an City, the young marquis's file was handed to him.

Governor Liu, new and old grudges! Let's settle them slowly. Humph!

Magistrate Wang saw a man in the robes of an inspector standing at the gate of the county government office, his eyes firm and sharp.

When Magistrate Wang's eyes met his, he quickly lowered his gaze to stare at the tip of Lord Chen's official boots and respectfully saluted his superior.

"Your humble servant Wang Chengbo greets the inspector. I did not know that Lord Chen was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you."

"Lord Wang, there's no need to be so polite." Lord Chen said politely.

"Sir Chen, please come into the county government office and rest for a while." Although he did not welcome this gentleman, he did not dare to invite him in disrespectfully.

This is the official level that crushes people to death.

Lord Chen nodded, walked into the county government office without any hesitation, and sat in the main seat.

Lord Wang sat beside him, wondering in his heart whether the Inspector happened to pass by or came to Lu'an on purpose.

"Sir Wang, I was originally handling a murder case in Lin'an County. A criminal was involved in the case and escaped. I pursued him to Lu'an County under your jurisdiction and found that he had a close relationship with the people in your Lu'an County.

Therefore, I went to the county government office to seek the assistance of Lord Wang."

Lord Wang: Isn’t this unlucky?

You blind criminal, why are you coming to Lu'an County when you can run somewhere else?

Oh! Yes, Lord Chen said that he was on good terms with the people of Lu'an County.

Which bastard in Lu'an is on good terms with the murderer? Don't want to live anymore? Look, I know who it is. I'll kill you!

I told you to call the inspector to me.

Lord Wang has a smile on his face, but he's actually a bitch at heart!

"Don't worry, Lord Chen. As long as the criminal is in Lu'an County, I will fully cooperate in arresting him. Anyone in our county who dares to harbor him will be severely punished."

He actively expressed his position and stated his stand, hoping that the inspector would see his upright character.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Lord Chen was not attracted by the human trafficking case.

Just say it! The inspector here knew about the case as soon as it happened. This is not realistic. I am just being paranoid.

I was almost scared to death and quickly wiped the sweat off my forehead.

Lord Chen looked at Lord Wang wiping his sweat with a guilty look on his face and deliberately asked:

"Master Wang, are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much?"

County Magistrate Wang: "In reply to Lord Chen, I have a little internal heat, and my body is weak and sweats a lot, hehe..."

Lord Chen: "Lord Wang is so diligent that he insists on going to work in the government office despite being ill. He is truly dedicated to the country and the people until his death."

Lord Wang: "Lord Chen, you are too kind." I really can't accept such praise. I'll be thankful if you don't come to cause trouble for me.

Lord Chen felt that he had finished his polite words, and changed the subject, "Since Lord Wang is so capable, I don't want to bother him here."

County Magistrate Wang's eyes lit up. Are we finally leaving?

"Then, Lord Wang, please send someone to fetch all the criminal case files in the county government office for me. I will start reviewing them."

Lord Wang: Don’t you need to rest?

I just came in and exchanged a few words and you want to review the files?

Are all officials so corrupt nowadays?

No wonder he is the Inspector General!

Alas! This is the gap.
