I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"Sir! I've repented, please let me go!"

"Sir! I am innocent! I am innocent!"

Jiang Yuan frowned as he looked at the disheveled faces in the prison who were shouting out their grievances.

"What are you shouting about? Whoever shouts 'I'll be beheaded tomorrow!'"

Wang Yuan, the jailer, scowled angrily, then pointed at the guy who had just cried out for justice and shouted, "Your damn file is eight feet high, and you still dare to cry out for justice? I think you're just itching for trouble!"

All the prisoners suddenly fell silent and looked at the man who was dragged here by Wang Gang.

It's pitch black in the prison, so how could I miss the chance to have some fun?

Wang Gang quickly tied the man to the wooden stake, and Wang Yuan took the opportunity to pull off the man's shirt.

"Give you another chance?" Jiang Yuan said lightly.

"Bah! You dog official, forget it!" The man had blood at the corner of his mouth but still refused to give in.

Jiang Yuan helplessly spread his hands: "Wang Yuan, I leave it to you."

Wang Yuan was not polite either. He took out a whip from his waist and asked two jailers to bring some salt water. After soaking the whip for a while, he started to whip the prisoner.

clap clap clap!

After a few whips, the man's skin was torn and flesh was exposed, but he gritted his teeth and glared at Wang Yuan without saying a word.

"The bones are still quite hard." Wang Yuan said, throwing down the whip and taking a rattan stick from the side.

This is a vine that grows on the mountains around Taiping County. It is not only tough, but also covered with barbs, making it a natural interrogation weapon.

When the cane hit his body, the man could no longer bear it. His screams echoed throughout the prison, and all the prisoners turned pale, fearing that the whip would fall on them one day.

After half a day, there was hardly a single piece of intact skin left on the man's body.

"No way?" Wang Yuan opened his mouth in surprise.

"You don't even want to say this? What do you want? We know you're being stubborn, but just make do with it. Aren't you just working for others? We should just do it for our own good." Wang Yuan squinted at the man.

"Go...dog..." The man squeezed out two words from between his teeth and looked at Wang Yuan with blurred eyes, as if he might faint at any time.

Wang Yuan was stunned, then sneered and threw away the whip in his hand.

"Okay, you're still being stubborn. Looks like we have to use our Taiping County's most powerful killer move!"

Jiang Yuan, who was sitting in the back, asked in confusion, "Wang Yuan, what's that killer move? Why have I never heard of it?"

Wang Yuan waved to the two jailers beside him, then turned to Jiang Yuan and smiled: "My lord, just wait and see."

Not long after, two jailers came in with two men, one old and one young.

Jiang Yuan looked at the two people in confusion, the owner of Taiping Milk Tea and Wang Kun, the commentator of Taiping Star during the day.

What are these two people doing here?

The moment he saw Jiang Yuan, Wang Kun's eyes lit up and he trotted over to Jiang Yuan: "Sir, I finally get to meet you. I've admired you for a long time!"

"Today, when I saw your true face, you were truly radiant and radiant, like a spring breeze. My admiration for you is as unstoppable as the surging waters of a river, and as unstoppable as the Yellow River's overflowing..."

The corners of Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he stretched out his hands and twisted Wang Kun's head towards the man tied to the wooden stake.

"Milk tea shop owner, come here too, quickly, both of you." Wang Yuan waved enthusiastically.

When Wang Kun and the milk tea shop owner stood in front of the wooden stake, Wang Yuan retreated alertly to Jiang Yuan and handed two balls of cotton to Jiang Yuan and Wang Gang.

"Sir, cover your ears."

Jiang Yuan picked up the cotton in surprise and whispered, "Isn't this necessary?"

Wang Yuan nodded heavily: "Sir, it is very necessary!"

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded awkwardly. Just as he was about to split the cotton into two balls, he heard a pig-slaughtering scream in his ears, accompanied by a demonic voice.

"Oh! You love me! I love you! Taiping milk tea is so sweet! Oh oh oh!"

"I'm in the morning..."

After Jiang Yuanchengdu covered his ears, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two people in front of him with lingering fear.

It is worthy of being the most powerful killer move in Taiping County, and its reputation is well-deserved!

The milk tea shop owner's singing is at best unpleasant, but what the hell did Wang Kun learn to rap? And he even sings in a single rhyme!

After a while, the man tied to the wooden stake began to tremble all over. He looked at the two people in front of him with an expression as if he was constipated but trying hard to defecate.

"Fuck! Stop singing!"

"The one doing the clapper talk, please stop now and wait for me to find two balls of straw!"

"I was just drunk and causing trouble, and I was only locked up for three days. Why did I have to endure this torture?"

Cries of begging for mercy could be heard from the surrounding prisoners.

In Jiang Yuan's eyes, all the prisoners in these cells opened their mouths wide, as if they were helping Wang Kun and the milk tea shop owner.

What a good man!

Give them an extra midnight snack today!

After a while, when Wang Kun and the milk tea shop owner shut their mouths, except for Jiang Yuan and a few others who covered their ears, the rest of the people twitched violently for a while and then slowly exhaled.

Wang Yuan took out a cotton ball and walked over to the man: "What's your name? Tell me!"

The man swallowed his saliva, looked at Wang Kun with fear, and said tremblingly: "My name is Liu Dong."

"Well, don't you think this is pretty good?" Wang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Tell me, who asked you to assassinate the master?"

Liu Dong's throat moved a few times, but he finally shook his head with a painful expression.

"No, no, I can't tell you."

Wang Yuan sneered again, stuffed the cotton back into his ears, and shouted at Wang Kun and the other man.

"Give him some strength!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and took Wang Gang out of the prison. Anyway, Wang Yuan would be interrogating them, and they would know the result when the time came.

The next morning, Jiang Yuan had just gotten out of bed and leisurely came to the county government office. Wang Yuan had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Sir, we've found out through interrogation that they were sent by the Liu family from the imperial capital."

"Liu family?" Jiang Yuan's face darkened.

When he left the imperial capital, he only targeted the Zhao family and didn't think about the Liu family at all. However, the other party still refused to let him go.

"Okay, I understand. You take care of that guy and don't let anyone else know."

After giving the instructions, Jiang Yuan sat on the chair with a frosty face.

Since your Liu family won’t let me go, you guys won’t have an easy time either!

But before this time, we still need to wait for some time.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

"Sir! Sir! The batch of memorials sent to Luoyun City have been delivered back!" Li Hu hurriedly ran into the county government office carrying a sack of bamboo slips.

Jiang Yuan, who had been doing nothing, suddenly became energetic and walked out quickly.

"Hurry up and pour it out and let's see!"

Under Jiang Yuan's expectant gaze, a pile of bamboo slips were poured on the ground. Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and began to look through the bamboo slips.

Humph! If you, Tian Wen, look at one less person, you'll see whether I can give you a surprise or not!
