It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Zhou Yu galloped back to the county town, stopped his horse at the city gate, turned around and ordered: "Go to the Chen family as soon as possible, and be sure to bring the head of the Chen family back to the county government for interrogation!

After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly, and a group of people galloped towards the county government office.

At the same time, another team received orders and rushed towards the Chen family.

Inside the Chen Mansion, Chen Xiangwen sat in the main hall with a gloomy face. He had been sitting there all night.

Ever since Manager Chen came back to report in a panic and humiliation last night, he knew in his heart that this matter would not end easily.

He had thought about running away, but then he thought that if he just left, his younger brother who was serving as a captain at the border would inevitably be implicated.

You know, if their Chen family wants to rise again, everything can only rely on this younger brother who is in the army.

Over the years, he has used all means to seize various benefits, all for the purpose of providing his younger brother with enough funds to build connections so that his younger brother can rise step by step in his career.

Therefore, no matter what, he would never allow anyone to obstruct his brother's future or the future of his Chen family.

At this moment, he wished he could cut Manager Chen and his group of idiots into pieces. They just killed a powerless little girl, but they caused such a big trouble for him.

Fortunately, he had already silenced the two people he had recovered. As long as he insisted that he was not aware of what was happening in the village, it was all the people under him who acted recklessly.

As long as there is no direct evidence to prove that he was the one who ordered this, I think the county magistrate would not dare to torture him to extract a confession!

Just as he was weighing the pros and cons and thinking about how to deal with it, the doorman came in hurriedly and reported, "Master, master, it's bad, a large group of officials are outside the door."

Chen Xiangwen's face darkened, and he angrily scolded, "How can you be so flustered? I haven't done anything against the will of heaven, so why should I be afraid?"

When Chen Xiangwen said this, he was heard by the police who came over.

The officers remained calm and clasped their fists, saying, "Master Chen, my master invites you!"

Chen Xiangwen politely bowed to the officers and said with a smile, "Excuse me, gentlemen, what is the matter with the county magistrate?"

Seeing that he looked clueless, the officer was impatient to play along and simply raised his hand to signal, "How would we know about your affairs, Master Chen? Please come in, Master, and don't keep you waiting for too long!"

Chen Xiangwen had no choice but to grit his teeth and go to the county government office with the officers.

In the lobby of the county government office, Zhou Yu coldly questioned Chen Xiangwen, "In your Chen family's farm, I actually seized hundreds of people who had been kidnapped and sold, and you even dared to raid and kill people at night. Your Chen family is so bold!"

Chen Xiangwen was stunned, completely incredulous. "I only listened to my younger sister's request and sent someone to check on the situation at the village. It's impossible! How could something like this happen?"

Zhou Yu watched him quibble quietly, then threw a witness statement in his face. "These are all the confessions of Master Chen Zhuangzi. What? Could it be that I am framing you?"

Chen Xiangwen knew that denying it was useless at this point, so he burst into tears and pleaded, "Sir, I really didn't know anything!"

"These wicked slaves actually committed such evil deeds behind my back. Please arrest them and punish them severely."

Zhou Yu sneered, "Do you think that if you say you didn't know anything, you, as the master, can get away with it?"

"I'm telling you, even if you deny having anything to do with this matter, according to the laws of this dynasty, the principal offender will be beheaded, and the accomplice will be forced to walk 2,000 miles. Even those who were unaware of the incident will be treated as accomplices."

Chen Xiangwen's heart choked. He had expected this outcome, but hearing it in person still made his body soften. He cried and begged, "Sir, please have mercy! I am willing to compensate the victims. Please give me a chance to live!"

Zhou Yu sneered, holding the blood-stained arrows and pacing in front of the man. He asked sharply, "Want to live? Sure, as long as you explain why these arrows appeared on your farm?"

Chen Xiangwen's pupils shrank. He didn't dare to look up, let alone show the slightest sign of abnormality.

She cried and said she didn't know, but in her heart she wanted to whip Manager Chen's corpse.

This idiot actually hid the arrows from the army and now he has been discovered by the county magistrate.

If this involves his younger brother, then his younger brother's career...

Chen Xiangwen had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't dare show any of them on his face. He just kept crying and complaining.

Zhou Yu was too lazy to continue arguing with him, so he had him taken to jail for interrogation.

On the other side, the Wang family was also in chaos at this moment. When Cui Liu returned home, she was pulled away by Master Wang to answer questions.

Wait until I hear that the manager of the village dares to sell people.

He was so angry that he fell backwards. Just as he woke up the man, the police came to arrest him.

Chen, who was originally in charge of the manor, and her nanny were taken to the county government for questioning.

The confession of the manager of the manor will be compared with that of Chen and the nanny.

It was confirmed that although the master and servant of the Chen family had no subjective motive to harm anyone, their lax management of the household and their allowing their subordinates to kidnap and sell people had an extremely bad impact, and Zhou Yu directly sentenced them to prison.

Chen suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly, begging the adults to show mercy.

Zhou Yu looked coldly at the pleading Chen and said without hesitation, "The reason your servant dared to commit such a serious crime is because of your long-term indulgence and neglect. This is no longer a simple family matter, but a violation of the law."

"If I, as a senior official, disregard the law because of your personal feelings, how can I convince the people? And what about those family members who were abducted and sold?

"Just imagine the pain of those innocent families who were abducted and sold. They lost their loved ones. When will it heal? The loss of their wives and children is a lifelong pain and a lifelong difficulty for them."

"If I show any leniency towards you, it would be a great injustice to them and a ruthless violation of the law!"

Nowadays, although the world has been initially stabilized, people's hearts are still not at peace and the evil act of human trafficking still occurs from time to time. The court has issued strict orders to put an end to such incidents.

As a local official of a county, he could only deter those human traffickers with ulterior motives and protect the people under his rule by strictly enforcing the law and showing no mercy.

After hearing this, Chen's body trembled slightly. She understood that her pleading could not change her fate of being exiled.

The people standing at the gate of the county government office and watching the whole process all applauded!

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"All human traffickers deserve to die!"

"She was only sentenced to exile, which was too easy for her. Without her support, would those people dare to act so recklessly?"

“…”

Everyone was talking about it, but everyone was applauding!

After this deterrent effect from the county magistrate, let’s see if there will be any human traffickers who dare to do evil in their county in the future!
