What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Only three years after Magistrate Zhu took office, Feng Tianbao had become the number one bully in Wutong County. However, those he bullied were basically all poor people. Not only would he not offend those with status and background, he would also find ways to please them. If that didn't work, he would use despicable means to frame the other party, such as the He family.

The crimes committed by Feng Tianbao are too numerous to list.

County Magistrate Zhu was no less guilty. If he had not been a backer of Feng Tianbao and had not condoned Feng Tianbao's evil deeds in Wutong County, how could Feng Tianbao, a small businessman, dare to be so lawless and treat human lives as worthless.

In the final analysis, both of them are unforgivable evil people.

"Kill them!" The onlookers shouted angrily, "Kill these two who are worse than pigs and dogs."

"Master Tao, I have grievances to make public." A man broke away from the crowd and knelt in the court. "Master, I am from Yangshan Village. Half a year ago, I brought my mother to Yun'antang in the county town for medical treatment. On the way, I accidentally disturbed the carriage of County Magistrate Zhu. In anger, County Magistrate Zhu kicked my mother, causing her condition to worsen. She was paralyzed in bed and is now dying. She only has one breath left."

As soon as he stood up, several people in the crowd also stood up.

"A year ago, County Magistrate Zhu forced my family to buy the wild boar that we had hunted with great difficulty. At the time, he said he would pay the money first. But later, my family was in urgent need of money and asked him for it many times, but he refused to give me a penny. Not only that, he also had my eldest brother and I beaten up, causing my eldest brother to become lame."

"Mr. Zhu extorted the people's money and set up a point at the city gate to collect city fees. Everyone had to pay at least three cents, and even babies were not spared."

Seeing so many people standing up to accuse him, County Magistrate Zhu, who was tied to a chair, struggled hard and glared at the people fiercely, trying to defend himself, but he could not utter a word.

After listening to the people's complaints, Tao Quan sneered at Magistrate Zhu and said, "If one citizen says you are guilty, it may be a false accusation. If two citizens say you are guilty, it may be that they are working together to target you. If so many citizens say you are guilty, it means that you are indeed a bad person and a dog official!"

"As a local official, you don't care about the people, you don't do practical things, but instead you oppress the people and help the tyrants to do evil. Your crime is unforgivable!"

"Someone come!" Tao Quan shouted.

The detectives he brought with him immediately stood up.

"Divide into two groups. One group will search Feng Tianbao's house, and the other group will search all places inside and outside the county government office. If anyone dares to stop us, they will be killed without mercy!"

County Magistrate Zhu opened his eyes wide and stared at Tao Quan.

It seemed to be saying that Tao Quan had no right to search the county government office.

The legal advisor, the chief clerk, and the county magistrate also stood up and tried to stop Tao Quan.

"If you dare to say one more word, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Tao Quan took out his sword and slammed it on the table without waiting for them to speak. He said coldly: "You are following County Magistrate Zhu, so it is impossible for you not to know what kind of person he is. You can't escape the responsibility for the crimes he committed."

He paused and said, "If you can make amends and help me find evidence of Magistrate Zhu's oppression of the people, I will speak a few good words for you in front of the prefect and give you a lighter sentence."

Upon hearing this, the lawyers immediately quieted down and subconsciously glanced at County Magistrate Zhu.

The lawyer thought quickly in his mind. Tao Quan was the prefect's man. He dared to treat Zhu County Magistrate like this. I'm afraid it was the prefect's instruction. A new official takes three fires when he takes office. This new prefect seems to be very different from the previous greedy and lustful prefect Lu. He probably wants to use Zhu County Magistrate to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and intimidate the county magistrates of other counties...

Is this going to clean up Wutong County?

The lawyer knelt down in front of Tao Quan and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I am willing to follow all your arrangements and fully cooperate with your investigation."

When the chief clerk and the county magistrate saw the master kneeling, they also knelt down hurriedly and said, "We will also follow the arrangements of Master Tao."

He who knows the times is a hero. It is an indisputable fact that County Magistrate Zhu has caused complaints from the people. Although the people sent by Tao Quan are not many, his status is there. They don't need to go against Tao Quan for County Magistrate Zhu, which is undoubtedly courting death.

Seeing that the legal advisor, the chief clerk, and the county magistrate had all submitted to Tao Quan, the county yamen's runners and constables dared not say a word. They all knelt down, listened to Tao Quan's arrangements, and followed the constables from the government office to look for evidence.

County Magistrate Zhu was so anxious that he was furious.

Feng Tianbao lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Feng Yingying was confined to her room in the backyard of the county government office, and her two children were temporarily arranged to stay with He's family. He was also very anxious at the moment, and kept asking the guards when Feng Tianbao would come back?

"My master was injured like that, where on earth did they take him?"

"Why are you stopping us from leaving?"

Feng Tianbao's three children were also confined to He's yard. When they didn't see Feng Tianbao come back late at night, they became very panicked and took out their anger on County Magistrate Zhu's children.

"You two idiots, why are you sleeping? Your uncle hasn't come back yet, don't you know you're worried?"

"Ignorant bastards, I really want to strangle you to death!"

County Magistrate Zhu has a pair of children, one is deaf and the other is mentally retarded. They never fight back when beaten or scolded, but just hide their heads in the corner.

Feng Tianbao's three children often bullied the two deaf and mentally retarded children behind the backs of Feng Tianbao, Feng Yingying and County Magistrate Zhu.

"Stop, stop hitting!" He frowned and walked over to stop her three children.

"Kill them, we don't know what your father's condition is now."

"It's bad, Madam!" A guard came hurriedly: "Lord Tao sent people to search the county government office, and no courtyard was spared. Several constables have already entered the courtyard."

Before He could react, the constables came in front of her.

"We have been ordered to search this courtyard. All outsiders must retreat." The constable's voice was cold.

Ye Tang and his group were still waiting in the court.

This night is destined to be a long one.

I don’t know how long it took, but under the expectant gaze of everyone, the constable who went to search finally came back.

Each of them held in their hands what they had found.

There were beggar's bones dug out from Feng Tianbao's private residence, as well as his privately hidden gold, silver, treasures and account books. Magistrate Zhu's treasury was also turned out, with all the people's wealth hidden inside. The detectives also found a box and account book in Magistrate Zhu's study. The account book recorded all the bribes collected by Magistrate Zhu, and the box actually contained the banned drug Wu Shi San.

Before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was divided into many countries, wars were frequent, and the political situation in each country was dark. At that time, celebrities from various countries loved Wu Shi San and regarded it as an elixir that could prolong life.

But in fact, Wu Shi San is not an elixir, but a poison that can make people obsessed, excited, cause skin ulcers, damage the brain and even cause death.

Wu Shi San had been circulated for more than fifty years and had harmed countless people. After Emperor Wu of Yuan established the Yuan Dynasty, he realized the harm of Wu Shi San and designated it as a banned drug. He ordered people to destroy the recipe of Wu Shi San, and anyone who sold or took the drug would be executed along with his entire family.

Decades have passed, Wu Shi San has disappeared from the Yuan Dynasty, and people have almost forgotten about it. But today, this banned drug was seen here from County Magistrate Zhu.
