Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"why?"

"I don't know either, but the young master said that the county magistrate must not get into trouble, at least not now. At the same time, the sooner this fire is dealt with, the better."

Chen Shan told Bei Yao everything one by one.

Xuyuan is powerful, but Beiyao is even more powerful.

Beiyao could almost guess Xuyuan's every move, so he could tell Chen Shan in advance what he would encounter and how to respond.

Xu Yuan stroked the teacup and asked, "When will Mr. Song arrive?"

Chen Shan thought about the current time, and then asked, "Another half an hour."

"Half an hour."

Xu Yuan murmured softly, stood up and said, "There is no time to lose, let's go to the county government office and beat the drum to appeal for justice. This matter will be resolved today."

"it is good."

Chen Shan also stood up.

Zhang Yue was a little confused and stood up as well.

Xu Yuan drank up the tea and said, "I'd like to trouble Master Chen to come with me and be a witness."

Chen Shan nodded.

After the three people left the teahouse, they walked towards the county government office.

Chen Shan was a stranger and had a sword on him, so many people pointed at him and talked about him in low voices as he walked on the street.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan wanted to explain something, but when he glanced sideways, he saw Chen Shan holding his sword, looking straight ahead.

I didn't take those words to heart at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but admire it.

Many people have died in Sishui County in the past two days, and many of the county's residents are in panic.

The sudden appearance of a stranger carrying a sword would naturally cause people to talk about him.

But Chen Shan was not angry, he didn't even refute or explain.

Zhang Yue asked himself if he could have such a temperament.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue secretly told himself that he must be a person with an unwavering mind in the future.

Only in this way can you achieve great things.

The three of them were watched as they arrived at the county government office. Xu Yuan asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have the general's token?"

Chen Shan took off the token from his waist and gave it to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan took a look and confirmed it was true, then said to Zhang Yue: "Brother, beat the drum."

"okay!"

Zhang Yue stretched his hands, picked up the drumstick next to him and started hitting it.

He had no method, and every time he struck the hammer, he just used brute force.

Then, the drums roared.

There were already people following Chen Shan, and now they gathered in a group, whispering, "This seems to be the young master of Xu Wenxian's family! Why is he hanging out with a foreigner?"

"Yeah, they even beat the drums, what's that for?"

"Have you ever heard of beating drums to appeal for justice? This is the drum in Sishui County. It has not been heard for hundreds of years!"

"You can only hear a sound. Maybe when a drum is struck, all you can hear is a sound."

In Sishui County, the majority of people have the surname Cheng.

The Cheng family also followed the lead of Cheng Tiankun's family.

The county magistrate Wei Chenggong was transferred from other places, but he had been an official in Sishui County for more than ten years. As soon as he arrived, he married Cheng Tiankun.

In a sense, Wei Chenggong is also half a member of the Cheng family.

Therefore, even though the Cheng family acted lawless in Sishui County, Wei Chenggong turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

In such an environment, everyone felt that beating the drum was useless since they couldn't defeat the Cheng family anyway.

But today, someone beat the drum again.

Zhang Qingyu heard the drumbeats and asked Zhang Qingyi to go out and take a look.

Inside the house, Xu Wenxian held the door open, walked out slowly and asked, "Where's Yuan'er? Is he home?"

Xu Wenxian also heard the drumbeats.

For some reason, he always felt that the person beating the drum to complain was making a wish.

Xu Yuan is upright and will not back down even when faced with injustice.

He was nearly burned to death yesterday, so he will definitely not let the wish go unfulfilled.

But in Sishui County, officials protect each other. How can Xu Yuan get justice?

Hearing Xu Wenxian's anxious words, Wen Shufang hurriedly said, "Someone just came to look for Yuan'er, but he hasn't come back yet."

"In the county government office, Yuan'er must be in the county government office."

Xu Wenxian was not fully recovered yet, and at the moment he was so excited that he couldn't help coughing.

When the coughing stopped, Xu Wenxian took a breath, found his cane, and said, "Brother, let's go to the county government office and bring Yuan'er back."

He had no power or influence in Sishui County. Once he entered the county government, he was controlled by the Cheng family.

This is also the reason why he always asked Xu Yuan to be patient.

It's not because of cowardice or lack of courage.

Instead, before you have the strength to resist, you should endure it, and only stand up when you have the ability and confidence to seek justice.

In this world, justice is the most useless thing.

He has seen too many injustices and understands that corrupt officials often protect each other.

The common people cannot defeat the officials.

"Wenxian, don't get excited, wait for your brother to go out and take a look."

Wen Shufang hurriedly found water for Xu Wenxian.

Cheng Zhicheng came out of the room and said, "Master, I'll carry you there."

"Okay, okay, okay, let's be quick!"

Under normal circumstances, Xu Wenxian would most likely refuse.

But at this moment, all he cared about was Xuyuan's safety.

Unfortunately, his legs and feet are not in good condition.

When Wen Shufang came out, Cheng Zhicheng and Xu Wenxian were gone. She slapped her thigh and hurried out to find Zhang Qingyi and Zhang Qingyu to go to the county government office.

The door of the county government office was slow to open.

Countless people gathered outside the county government office. Xu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said, "County Magistrate Wei, I know you are behind the door, and I also know you invited the Cheng family. But if you don't ask why, will it be useful to invite the Cheng family? If you don't open the door, I will break it down and see how you, County Magistrate Wei, will deal with yourself in Sishui County in the future."

The tone of making a wish is calm and relaxed.

Chen Shan, who was standing by, couldn't help but be surprised.

Not everyone can possess this kind of momentum, but when it comes to Xu Yuan, it seems to be the most normal thing.

The county government office still did not open.

Xu Yuan said, "Brother, there is no need to beat the drum. The whole Sishui County has probably heard it, but some people want to cover up their mistakes. In this case, let's smash the door of the county government office and see who is trying to pretend to be deaf and dumb inside."

"it is good!"

Zhang Yue listened to Xu Yuan in everything, so naturally he didn't think too much about whether this matter was appropriate or not.

He rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the drumstick with his backhand and went up to bang on the door.

There was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

"This kid is so brave that he even dared to smash the door of the county government office!"

"I guess the person next to him must be here to support you. What do you think this wish is about? Could it be about the fire in the school?"

"I heard that someone set fire to the Cheng family's house last night, and his father, the scholar, happened to be inside. He rushed in to save them. Could it be because of this..."

"It should be."

Amid the discussion, a servant pushed aside the onlookers. Cheng Tiankun was among them. He walked over quickly. When he saw Xu Yuan, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, what are you doing? Can't we talk about it behind closed doors? Why do you have to make such a big fuss? You don't think that the people of Sishui County can give you justice just because they are here, do you?"

By the end, Cheng Tiankun's words were full of threats.

He looked at Xu Yuan and rubbed his palms. "If you have anything to say, let's talk it out behind closed doors. You know your uncle Cheng is a reasonable person. Why do you have to use force in the county government office?"

After hearing what Cheng Tiankun said, Xu Yuan asked Zhang Yue not to knock on the door first, and then said to Cheng Tiankun: "Master Cheng, you seem to have made a mistake. I am just beating the drum to complain, and I don't think that the people of Sishui County can get justice for me because they are here. Justice is something that you have to ask for yourself. If the county magistrate doesn't come out today, then I can only ask Master Cheng for justice."
