Chapter 65 The County Magistrate

Song Yan turned her head and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform standing outside the door.

He was tall and strong, with a short beard on his face, and there was a sense of majesty between his brows.

At this time, he had his hands behind his back, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, he looked awe-inspiring and majestic, which made people feel awe.

Seeing the man clearly, Song Yan's pupils trembled. Could this man be the magistrate of Lin County? !

Could it be that everything he just said was heard?

Thinking of this, Song Yan dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment. Oh my God!

He accused the government of inaction in front of the county magistrate.

Help, help.

He will probably die here today.

Song Yan's words just now caused a huge wave of shock in Lin Yifeng's heart.

No one had ever said such words to him, and it even broke his previous cognition.

He has always insisted that it was the gangs that committed crimes, oppressed the people and plundered the people, but now some people tell him that it was the inaction of the government that caused it.

He was silent for a long time until the sound from outside woke him up.

He looked up and saw someone coming outside. He shouted in surprise, "Dad, why are you here?"

Sure enough, the person outside was Magistrate Lin.

Song Yan quickly stood up and saluted: "I pay my respects to the County Magistrate!"

County Magistrate Lin strode in and raised his hand toward him: "No need to be polite."

Song Yan stood up and stood aside, suddenly at a loss. He glanced at Lin Yifeng and asked silently, "Why is your father back?"

Lin Yifeng gave him a look in return: "I don't know either."

For a moment, the room was silent.

County Magistrate Lin looked at Song Yan secretly, and saw that his eyes were clear and calm, and he was obviously an upright and open-minded person.

While handling official business in the afternoon, he found a letter left in the study, so he came back to look for it.

I overheard the maid say that the young master brought a friend back and went straight to the study.

He thought it was Shu Changyu, so he came over to take a look.

As soon as I approached, I heard the words "The inaction of the government is the problem."

He was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.

The voice was clear and sounded like the person was young. The tone was straightforward, but every word was sharp.

His son was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and grew up with luxury. If he had not been lost in childhood, which allowed him to experience some of the sufferings of ordinary people, he would probably still be a nobleman who knows nothing about the mundane world.

Although he had sympathy, he was young and full of energy after all, especially after he passed the imperial examination and became even more arrogant.

It's time to teach this young man a lesson and put an end to his arrogance.

"Don't be so reserved." County Magistrate Lin retracted his gaze and smiled faintly, "You just said it very well."

He really heard it.

Song Yan was furious and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I am sorry for making the county magistrate laugh at my ignorant words."

Lin County Magistrate praised him, "You have such insight at your age. My unfilial son is far inferior to you."

Lin Yifeng was dissatisfied and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Dad!"

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, you are too kind. Young Master Lin is already a scholar, and I can only read a few words. How can I compare with Young Master Lin?" Song Yan didn't dare to take his words seriously.

County Magistrate Lin smiled but said nothing. He then asked, "What's your name?"

Lin Yifeng rushed to answer: "Dad, his name is Song Yan."

County Magistrate Lin seemed to remember something and asked again, "Did you come to the county government office yesterday?"

Song Yan was so ashamed that he had no face to show. He didn't expect that the county magistrate still remembered that he had been to the county government office yesterday.

"Your Excellency, I am a commoner."

County Magistrate Lin pondered for a moment and asked him, "I heard that the Thanos Gang is doing business recently?"

Song Yan was very surprised that the county magistrate even knew about this. He quickly replied, "Yes, we are selling bean curd skin, bean curd sticks and other bean products."

County Magistrate Lin commented: "Di Ying is a pretty good guy."

"Since you have reformed, you should conduct business honestly in the future. As long as I am here, those ruffians will not dare to harass merchants again."

Song Yan was so ashamed that he had no face to show. Magistrate Lin's words seemed to be a response to his previous remarks.

He didn't even care about his brazen words just now. In this way, Lord Lin is indeed a good official, just as described in the novel as "honest and fair".

"Okay, sir. I will definitely convey your message when I return."

County Magistrate Lin was busy with official business, so he only stayed for a while before getting up and leaving: "You guys chat, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Song Yan bowed respectfully and said, "Goodbye, sir."

When County Magistrate Lin's back disappeared in the corridor, he let out a long breath.

Seeing this, Lin Yifeng said with a smile: "Are you so afraid of my father?"

Song Yan weakly retorted: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that your father is too majestic. Standing in front of him, I dare not even breathe."

"That's all you can do." Lin Yifeng finally got the chance to mock him.

Song Yancai did not argue with him and said, "I have to go back too."

Lin Yifeng was a little reluctant: "Going back so soon?"

"The store will close if it's any later. I still have to buy some things and go back early tomorrow morning," said Song Yan.

Lin Yifeng asked curiously: "Where is your home?"

Song Yan: "Xijiang Town."

Lin Yifeng quickly thought: "Then aren't you from the same place as Chang Yu?"

Shu Changyu is mentioned in every three sentences. Young man, do you love me so much?

There is no future in being a bootlicker.

Song Yan complained silently in his heart.

He quickly said, "No, no, I'm from Zhangjia Village, he's in Xiaoli Village."

Lin Yifeng said faintly: "You even know which village he is in."

Song Yan shut her mouth. Damn, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It would be better to just say nothing.

Lin Yifeng stopped asking and said, "Okay, I'll take you out."

Song Yan carefully wrapped the books on the table, put them into the backpack, then picked up the backpack and left through the side door with him.

After walking for a distance, he looked back at the yard behind him, thinking to himself that he had accepted so many books for no reason. On his way back tomorrow, he should stop by and give some gifts.

Then he strolled around the street for a while. As it was getting close to evening, all the roadside vendors had closed their stalls. He just bought some food and snacks and went home.

After returning to the house and putting down the things, Song Yan turned around and went to find Deputy Gang Leader Zhong.

It so happened that at this time, Zhong would be drinking tea in the main hall.

Song Yan went in and shouted, "Brother Zhong."

Zhong Hui was thinking about something alone with a frown on his face. When he saw Song Yan come in, his expression relaxed a little.

But he saw Song Yan put a gift box in front of him.

He looked puzzled: "Xiao Song, what are you doing?"

Song Yan touched the bridge of his nose and said with a little embarrassment: "What I said at noon was an unintentional mistake on my part. Don't take it to heart."

"I've been feeling bad for the past half day, so I decided to come and apologize to you."

Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Just for this?"

Song Yan also smiled and opened the box in front of him. She saw tea inside, which looked to be top-quality Baihao Yinzhen tea.

He took the tea leaves from the kitchen, and the gift box was when he first bought some snacks. He saw that the gift box containing the pastries was particularly exquisite, so he shamelessly asked the store to give him two more.

It can be used to hold tea leaves and give them to others.

As soon as he saw the quality of the tea, he knew it was expensive. Zhong Hui declined without thinking: "It's too expensive. Besides, you have done nothing wrong. I should thank you for enlightening me."

He paused, looking ashamed: "I didn't realize how hard my mother had been working these days. I am an unfilial son."

Song Yan consoled him, "Brother Zhong, you are too serious. You manage dozens of people every day and have to worry about everything. How can you possibly take care of everything?"

After hearing this, Zhong Hui's expression finally improved a little. He glanced at the gift box and said with a smile, "Okay, take the tea back. Don't spend so much money next time."

Seeing that he refused to accept the apology no matter what, Song Yan had no choice but to take the tea back.

I thought, I'll give it to Lin Yifeng as a thank you gift tomorrow.
