Women dressed as men: powerful officials

In the county government office, bailiffs stood on both sides.

Xu Yuan was the only one in the hall, with Zhang Yue and Chen Shan standing on his left and right.

Outside the county government office, Xu Wenxian and his group stood at the front, looking inside nervously.

Behind them were countless people, some of whom were still kneeling, just to seek justice.

Wei Chenggong's eyelids kept twitching, making him panic.

Seeing Xu Yuan standing in the hall with a neither humble nor arrogant appearance, Wei Chenggong took the lead in putting pressure on him and said, "Xu Yuan, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

"If Magistrate Wei can convince me, I can naturally kneel down, but can you?" Xu Yuan asked back.

Wei Chenggong choked.

Especially when I heard someone outside shouting the word "dog official".

He even felt his face burning.

He was also a person who had taken part in the national examination. Although he was not from a Beijing official family, he was also a serious scholar.

Before coming to Sishui County, he warned himself that although Sishui County was remote, he was the county magistrate and had received the emperor's grace, so he had to do a good job as a local official.

But later, he found that he was thinking too much.

Sishui County was poor, and the annual wars made it even more miserable.

Not only that, the meager salary from the court was not enough for him to support his family.

If even eating has become a problem, how can we talk about our ideals?

Until later, Cheng Tiankun found him.

The tasks that Cheng Tiankun asked him to do were not important, but the rewards were dozens of times his salary.

Later, the county magistrate and the Cheng family were tied together.

He always thought that this relationship would last for a long time, or that it would only end when he was transferred to another place.

But unexpectedly, a wish-making person appeared today.

Wei Chenggong had originally planned to stay in the county government office and let Cheng Tiankun come to get rid of Xu Yuan. After all, it was Cheng Tiankun who asked him to turn a blind eye to the fire in the private school.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan moved in with Xie Xiaocheng.

For some reason, he felt that this time, the boat was going to capsize.

Wei Chenggong calmed down and asked, "Xuyuan, who do you want to sue?"

"The one who set fire to the school and murdered the students there."

Hearing this, Wei Chenggong couldn't help but think about it.

According to the meaning of the wish, he didn't know who lit the fire.

In this way, it will be easier to handle.

Thinking of this, Wei Chenggong asked, "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"I don't know." Xuyuan smiled.

Wei Chenggong was completely relieved, but he didn't show it on his face. His face even darkened and he said angrily, "Why are you beating the drum to complain when you don't even know who the murderer is? Are you trying to play a trick on me?"

Cheng Tiankun, who was sitting nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xuyuan didn't know who the murderer was.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to exonerate Song Ju.

Song Ju was someone he could not afford to offend.

As Wei Chenggong finished his words, Xu Wenxian and his group outside the county government office also became nervous.

Wei Chenggong simply slammed the gavel and shouted, "You daring and unruly commoner! Why don't you kneel down before me!"

"Wei County Magistrate."

Make a wish with a gentle smile, but that smile has a powerful effect.

"I don't know who the murderer is, but General Xie knows. Not only that, he has already caught the murderer and is sending him over from the military camp."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Cheng Tiankun, whose face was blank, and said jokingly, "Master Cheng should also know him. He is the teacher that the Cheng family invited before. He wanted to kill me when I was in the military camp that day, but was caught by General Xie."

Finished!

Cheng Tiankun didn't sit firmly and fell off the stool.

He looked at Xuyuan and felt that Xuyuan, with a smile on his face, looked like a devil.

Wei Chenggong was also panicked.

But it was not because of who that person was, but because that person was caught by Xie Xiaocheng.

In this case, Xie Xiaocheng would only feel that he, as a county magistrate, was doing nothing.

Better not have it!

Cheng Tiankun struggled to get up and asked: "Xu Yuan, did you ask General Xie to arrest that person? Do you know who that person is? You..."

Cheng Tiankun's eyes went dark.

He is someone from the Grand Marshal’s Mansion in the capital!

This is how Xie Xiaocheng caught people!

It will also be brought to court!

No wonder a Beijing official was thrown into such a place. Xie Xiaocheng is a reckless man without any brains at all!

Cheng Tiankun cursed.

"I know. Not only do I know, General Xie also knows him."

Xu Yuan smiled, put his hands in his sleeves, and said calmly: "Master Cheng, don't worry, don't worry, what I want is justice. I won't make things difficult for anyone who shouldn't die or pay the price for this."

Wei Chenggong couldn't sit still any longer and asked quickly, "When will the murderer arrive?"

After saying this, he kept winking at Cheng Tiankun.

However, Cheng Tiankun was so confused that he didn't notice Wei Chenggong at all.

Xu Yuan said, "He should be on his way, but that person is of high status and prominent position. I wonder if County Magistrate Wei will protect him?"

Make a wish and curl your lips.

Cheng Tiankun wanted to take all the credit for finding Song Xiujing, so he naturally wouldn't reveal anything about this to Wei Chenggong.

Therefore, Wei Chenggong probably doesn’t know that the Song family is in Sishui County now.

He also didn't know that the man was Song Ju, the Song family's housekeeper.

What he fears now is still Xie Xiaocheng.

Therefore, Xu Yuan wanted to use Xie Xiaocheng's name to scare Wei Chenggong by saying "just do it" before Song Ju came.

Song Ju’s best option was to push someone out to take the blame.

Xu Yuan never thought that this little thing could cost Song Ju's life.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Wei Chenggong was hesitating, but suddenly he saw the token hanging around Xu Yuan's waist and immediately said, "Of course I will punish him severely!"

"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded, and then she asked, "Mr. Chen, when will Mr. Song arrive?"

Chen Shan estimated the time and said, "It should be soon."

As soon as they finished talking, a group of soldiers drove in carriages outside the door, and pedestrians retreated to both sides.

Xu Yuan looked back and saw Song Ju lifting the curtain and getting out of the carriage.

The moment Cheng Tiankun saw Song Ju, his face turned pale.

If there was some luck before, I hope the person Xie Xiaocheng arrested was not Song Ju.

Now, this chance is gone.

Xie Xiaocheng, Song Family.

This is simply a fight between gods, and he is the only one who suffers!

Cheng Tiankun was complaining in his heart.

On the stage, Wei Chenggong saw that the person being escorted was a soldier, and he immediately seemed to have a backbone, and he was very imposing, "Are you the murderer in this case? Do you know your crime?"

Hearing this, Song Ju sneered, "You are just a county magistrate, but you are so bold as to make a wish. You are really amazing."

Xu Yuan looked back and met Song Ju's gaze, without any confusion, "Uncle Song, you are too kind."

"Don't you think that this mere county magistrate can do anything to me?"

"As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake. No matter how high your status is, it is only in the capital. In Sishui County, you are just an ordinary citizen."

Xu Yuan finished speaking calmly, and then raised the token and said, "Thank you, General, for ordering a thorough investigation of the fire in the school. I have a plan that will have the best of both worlds. Old Man Song has been in the military camp these days, so I think this matter has little to do with this matter. So, you have two choices. One is to hand over the arsonist, and the other is that we fight to the death until I find the murderer."

Xu Yuan looked at Song Ju, his words full of provocation.

among the crowd.

Xu Wenxian looked at the familiar figure, his body trembled, and his ten fingers clenched into fists.
