Yun Zhiqian looked at Qi Junye, this time he was grateful.

He had long suspected the identity of this young man. Last time at the Xie Mansion, not only did the head of the Xie family bow and nod like a dog when he saw him, but even the eldest son of the prefect's mansion, Zhao Mingzhou, looked in awe when he saw this young man.

Now County Magistrate Kong saw that he was afraid again, so he thought that his identity was not simple.

The money they used to open the shop was also "borrowed" from this person. It can be said that this person helped the Yun family several times.

He thought that no matter what, this young man would be his, Yun Zhiqian's benefactor in the future.

Qingbei said: "County Magistrate Kong, you are so courageous. As the parent official of the people of Shiqiao County, you actually do such an act of oppressing the people. It seems that you don't want to wear this official hat anymore."

"Someone, hold County Magistrate Kong down."

Two guards stepped forward and tried to take Magistrate Kong down, but several yamen runners came to stop them and were all stabbed by the guards.

The guards around Prince Chen have been trained like death warriors since childhood. Even the people around the emperor are no match for them, let alone these yamen runners.

After County Magistrate Kong was controlled by the guards, he trembled with fear and his legs became weak:

"I am innocent. It was Patriarch Xie who said that the girl I sent was a maid, so I accepted her. If I knew she was a good girl, I would never dare to do that."

County Magistrate Kong is also a seasoned man and knows how to speak in a way that benefits himself.

If the maid sent by Xie family was a lowly servant, she would be bought and sold, and even Prince Chen would not be able to do anything about it.

He betrayed the head of the Xie family in one go.

Qi Junye ordered someone to invite Patriarch Xie. Although he said "invite", the guards knew as soon as they heard it that there was no need to be polite to Patriarch Xie.

Because Mei Shuyu was injured, Yun Zhiqian was anxious to go back and apply medicine to Mei Shuyu, so he wanted to take Mei Shuyu and Yun Fu back first.

When Qi Junye saw Yun Fu was about to leave, the smile in the corner of his eyes disappeared instantly.

Seeing this, Qingbei immediately understood that the prince did not want the little girl to leave, and he said, "Little girl, don't you want to know the outcome?"

Yun Fu didn't even think about it and said, "No need. Sister Mei is injured. Let's go back and apply medicine to her first."

Qingbei tried to persuade him: "Just let your brother take her there. Why don't you stay and wait for the result? We'll send you back later."

Yun Fu thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to stay. She also wanted to see how Prince Chen would deal with the head of the Xie family.

The last time she was kidnapped was when Qi Junye seemed to be invited by the head of the Xie family.

What surprised her was that Patriarch Xie was actually able to invite Prince Chen.

This time, will Qi Junye punish the head of the Xie family?

After several contacts, Yun Fu's attitude towards Qi Junye changed slightly.

She couldn't control the deep-seated disgust she had for Qi Junye in her previous life, and she couldn't help but think the worst of him.

Yun Fu looked at Yun Zhiqian and said, "Brother, I will stay here first. Go and take Sister Mei to apply medicine."

Yun Zhiqian refused, as he was really worried about his sister staying here.

Just then, there were sounds of banging on doors and quarreling outside, and judging from the noise, it seemed that there were quite a few people.

It turned out that after Wang Er left, he found many families who were oppressed by County Magistrate Kong, as well as families who were wrongly tried because of County Magistrate Kong's bribery. He also instigated some people to cause trouble outside the county government office.

There was only one yamen runner left on duty outside. He was unable to control the public anger and closed the gate of the county government office.

So, the people started throwing stones, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and other things at the county government office.

The people sent by Qi Junye went out to understand the situation and then came back to report the situation outside.

Now, not only would it be difficult for the runners who had just returned from their business trip to enter the yamen, but even Yun Zhiqian and Mei Shuyu would find it difficult to leave.

Seeing this, the guard who brought back Master Xie had no choice but to carry Master Xie over the wall and into the county government office.

Qi Junye asked: "Master Xie, can you tell me what happened?"

County Magistrate Kong looked at Patriarch Xie with a warning in his eyes, but Patriarch Xie ignored him and continued:

"My Lord, it was Magistrate Kong who chose Mei Shuyu, who was working as a female tutor in my mansion. After all, he is an official and I am a commoner. I cannot resist and have no choice but to do as he says."

The head of the Xie family would not dare to lie. If he took the blame in front of Prince Chen, he would be dead.

County Magistrate Kong was anxious and said, "Master Xie, you are wrong. You came to my house to ask me to remove the Yun Zhiqian brothers from the list of candidates for the college entrance examination. You sent Mei Shuyu to my house to please me."

The two men looked at each other, like two flames competing with each other in the air.

When the head of the Xie family saw that County Magistrate Kong sold him out so easily, he became furious and started to expose County Magistrate Kong's past.

County Magistrate Kong was not to be outdone and also started speaking ill of the head of the Xie family.

Before Prince Chen could ask anything, the two of them had exposed each other's secrets.

Qi Junye's eyes became colder and colder: "Tie up County Magistrate Kong and throw him outside the county government office to appease the public anger. Throw Patriarch Xie out as well."

Patriarch Xie never imagined that after helping Prince Chen to find the Seventh Prince, he not only did not receive any reward, but instead almost lost his life.

He regretted leading Prince Chen to Shiqiao Town.

He kowtowed quickly and said, "Master, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

Prince Chen's men ignored him and threw him and County Magistrate Kong out of the yamen.
