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

Li Hu looked at the fallen rooster in disbelief and couldn't help feeling dry in his mouth.

Fortunately, I didn’t eat it. If I had taken a bite, I would have gone straight to see Tai Nai.

"This! This shouldn't happen. There's no reason for my grandfather to leave me a poison pill."

Jiang Yuan touched his chin and nodded slightly: "Now that you put it that way, I understand."

"Your grandfather probably anticipated this day would come, so he switched the items ahead of time. Not only did he keep the elixir for himself, he also planned to wipe out Ding Yong and his entire group."

Li Hu's expression turned grim: "So, we ruined my grandfather's plan?"

"In theory, that's right." Jiang Yuan patted his forehead.

Fuck! If I had known Li Canglan had this skill, I would have slept so sweetly at home tonight. It was all a waste of effort.

Just as a group of people were shaking their heads and preparing to disperse, a sound of footsteps came from afar.

"Sir! The person has been caught!" Hatu's excited voice came from afar.

Jiang Yuan stood up and looked at the hundreds of soldiers running towards him. In the middle of the team, there were thirty or forty people who were tied up.

"Hatu, you did a good job. I'll give you a salary increase later." Jiang Yuan praised without hesitation.

"Throw all these people into the jail and let the brothers go back to rest." Jiang Yuan waved his hand. After tossing and turning for most of the night, even he felt a little tired.

"Let's go, let's talk tomorrow."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and went straight through the county government office back to his room to see Zhou Gong.

The next day, at noon, Jiang Yuan was finally called out by Xiaoqing to eat while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Jiang Yuan stretched, stood up and went to the county government office as usual.

After half an hour, Jiang Yuan dropped the brush in his hand, called Wang Gang, and the two went to the prison together.

As he entered the prison, Wang Yuan immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Sir, are you here to interrogate the gang from yesterday?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Not bad, did you find out anything?"

Wang Yuan said helplessly, "No, these people are very stubborn, especially that little girl named Qian Xue, who was determined to commit suicide. If she hadn't been stopped, she would have probably hit her head against the wall and committed suicide."

"Oh! I didn't realize you were such a filial child." Jiang Yuan teased, turned around and followed Wang Yuan into the prison.

After the lesson between Wang Kun and the milk tea shop owner last time, the prisoners in the cell were obviously much more obedient, and no one cried out for justice anymore.

Last night, Hatu captured nearly forty people and detained them in five cells. Qian Xue was held alone in a cell.

Jiang Yuan looked at the prisoners who were doing nothing and suddenly became furious.

Damn!

After these people committed crimes, they did nothing all day long, and Taiping County had to feed and support them for free.

But Jiang Yuan really didn't dare to send these people to labor reform. Those who could be released had been released last year. The remaining ones were all real tough guys. Jiang Yuan was not at ease even if he released them with shackles on.

"Wang Yuan, go find Ma Zhi tomorrow and ask him to rebuild a new cell. Remember, the defense work must be done well."

Wang Yuan was stunned, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Sir, these people already have a good life. They can even eat meat once a month. There is no need to improve the quality of their housing, right?"

"Who said we want to improve the quality of the accommodation? Just tell Ma Zhi about it, and I'll draw up the design." Jiang Yuan said, looking at the prisoners in the cell one by one.

There are about a hundred or eighty people in this number. These guys are all laborers. Even if they cannot be released, it should be okay to let them make some bows and arrows in the cell.

As for whether these people will use bows and arrows to fight, that is not my concern. Anyway, these people will be executed in the autumn, so it doesn't matter even if they all die.

"Uh, okay, please come this way, sir. It's just in front." Wang Yuan said, taking two quick steps to open the cell door.

Jiang Yuan looked in the direction he was going. Inside the cell, the wooden cross was still there, a girl with an innocent face and a bit of stubbornness was tied to it tightly.

hum!

Your grandfather wants to kill me, and you still have the guts to confront me?

You really don’t know how many eyes the Horse King has!

"Stop pretending to be dead." Jiang Yuan sneered and walked straight in.

"You! You dog official! Where is my grandfather?" Qian Xue started cursing without even opening her eyes.

Jiang Yuan squinted his eyes at Qian Xue and said, "Don't you understand the situation? You are my prisoner now. Do you think you are qualified to ask me questions?"

"If you had a good attitude and begged me, it would be fine, but you act like you would rather die than surrender. It's ridiculous!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Wang Yun walked in with a whip in his hand.

"Sir, do you need to use torture?"

Before Jiang Yuan could say anything, the bound Qian Xue blurted out, "You bastard official! Use the torture! I'm telling you, even if I die, I won't tell you anything!"

"Who the hell asked you that!" Jiang Yuan looked at him as if he was mentally retarded. Didn't your grandfather tell me the whole story yesterday?

The reason I spared your life wasn't because I was too sleepy yesterday and didn't want to interrogate you?

You still pretend to be upright and unyielding.

Qian Xue paused for a moment and looked at Jiang Yuan with some surprise.

Why not ask yourself? Then what on earth does this official want to do?

"Okay! Then kill me!" Qian Xue said, and closed her eyes.

Jiang Yuan looked Qian Fu up and down. "It's easy to die, but you do have some value. Tell me the whole story again. I want to see if the information I got yesterday is correct."

"Hehehe!" Qian Xue sneered continuously, looking at Jiang Yuan with an inexplicable pride in her eyes.

"You bastard, I've told you before, don't expect me to tell you anything. Forget it! You're just wishful thinking."

"Damn it! How can you talk like that? Do you really think we dare not kill you?" Wang Yuan looked at Qian Xue with a cold face.

So many people have been arrested in the entire Taiping County, but this is the first time I have encountered such a brainless guy.

"No, no." Jiang Yuan calmly waved at Wang Yuan and looked at Qian Xue with a calm expression.

"Do you think you're amazing?"

"At least he's better than a dog official like you!" Qian Xue cursed again.

Jiang Yuan sneered, "You know what? In this world, good people don't die, even bad good people, because they pose no threat to others."

"Bad guys won't die. Even if they're completely evil and have no conscience, they won't necessarily die."

"But there is only one kind of person who will definitely die. Do you know who it is?"

Qian Xue still looked at Jiang Yuan with disdain, with no intention of speaking.

Jiang Yuan didn't expect her to speak, so he just said, "That person is courting death, and he will definitely die."

"And you are courting death right now."
