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

Jiang Yuan, who was originally standing at Zui Jiangyue's door and watching the show calmly, suddenly became confused.

"Huh? Why is the ground shaking? Is it an earthquake or am I seeing things?"

Just when Jiang Yuan was confused, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes.

He had a broad back and strong arms, with muscles bulging like a curious dragon. He was pushing Feng Kelai's load-bearing column with all his strength.

"Crap! This kid is crazy!"

Jiang Yuan cursed, rushed into Fengkelai like lightning and pulled Wang Gang out.

"Why are you pushing the pillar?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang speechlessly.

Wang Gang scratched his head, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Ergou told me that if we push the pillars down, Fengkelai will be gone, and no one will steal our business anymore."

Jiang Yuan slapped his forehead and didn't want to explain anymore.

Yes, it is because there are no more customers coming to us, and there is indeed no one competing with us for business.

But wouldn't that just bury you?

But I guess this is no big deal. You are thick-skinned and can get out by yourself.

But if all the customers who rushed into Fengkelai earlier were killed or injured, it would be a serious matter!

"Where's Ergou? Ergou, come out here!" Jiang Yuan felt helpless and furious.

Wang Gang has a simple mind and a pure heart, but he can't fool people like that!

I have cheated so many people over such a long time, even my own father-in-law, but I have never cheated Wang Gang.

How dare you, boy!

"Sir, sir, are you looking for me?" Ergou walked out of the lobby of Zuijiangyue with his head shrunk.

"Who the hell told you to fool Wang Gang?" Jiang Yuan glared at Ergou.

Ergou shuddered all over and quickly explained, "Sir, I'm killing many birds with one stone! What's wrong with that?"

Jiang Yuan was so angry that he laughed. You are killing many birds with one stone. Do you think you can harm three sages with one move?

"Okay, okay, then I want to hear exactly how many birds you have!"

"Don't be impatient, sir. Let me tell you in detail." Ergou said while counting on his fingers.

"First of all, if the supporting pillar collapses, Fengkelai will definitely be gone, and our competitor will be gone!"

"Secondly, sir, think about it carefully. Feng Kelai killed and injured a large number of people. Feng Kelai will definitely be sued. We can take advantage of this opportunity to invade the market!"

"As for the third one..."

Jiang Yuan's face turned dark immediately. What the hell is the third one?

There are so many people watching on the first floor. Do you think they are blind and can't see who pushed the load-bearing column?

If someone sees us, the one who will be in trouble will be Feng Ke Lai, so Zui Jiang Yue will just close the shop.

"Don't give me another chance! If you come up with another stupid idea, I'll kill you!"

Ergou looked at Jiang Yuan aggrievedly: "Sir, how can this be a bad idea? This is a brilliant plan that I racked my brains to come up with."

Jiang Yuan bared his teeth and nodded silently: "I think you are like a pot of boiling water."

Ergou looked at Jiang Yuan with a confused look in his eyes and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean, sir?"

"Boiling water? Are you trying to say that I've finally gotten my bearings?"

Jiang Yuan slowly shook his head: "No, I think you are boiling."

Ergou opened his mouth wide, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, looking aggrieved.

After the guests rushed into Fengkelai and smashed things, everyone walked into Zuijiangyue with satisfaction.

Almost at the same time, a dozen constables with long swords hanging from their waists came over.

"Where's Shopkeeper Zui Jiangyue? Come out quickly and come with us!"

Jiang Yuan was not panicked at all, as he had already anticipated this situation.

Since you have chosen to go against Feng Kelai, the chief clerk of Xinri City behind Feng Kelai will be an unavoidable obstacle.

"Wang Kun, Ergou and Wang Gang, you guys take care of the store, and everyone else come with me!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and Zhao Kai, Bai Jingyun, Chen Liu and others followed immediately.

Along the way, the group of people had no awareness that they were being sued. They walked on the street with an open mind, and if you didn't know it, you would think they were the plaintiffs.

"Tsk!" The captain looked at these people with displeasure.

Damn it, don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know what my coming here represents?

You're about to be sued, okay? What are you all so crazy about?

A moment later, Jiang Yuan and his companions walked into the Xinri City court calmly.

Snapped!

As soon as they entered the room, they heard the sound of a gavel. Sitting in the court was a man in his forties. He had a square face but a pair of squinty eyes, which made people want to laugh.

"Who is here? Tell me your name!"

Jiang Yuan glanced at him calmly and saluted casually: "Sir, I am Jiang Yuan."

"Zhao Kai."

"Wei Yong."

"Wang Chen."

"Bai Jingyun."

The man sitting in the main seat was stunned, then looked at the few people with an unhappy expression.

"Why don't you kneel when you see me?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Zhao jumped out and said, "Sir, I think they have no respect for the law. According to the law, they should be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"

Jiang Yuan's face turned pale as he punched Fatty Zhao twice, and he immediately understood.

The person on the stage should not be the county magistrate of Xinri City, but most likely Zhao Yan, the chief clerk.

Just as several detectives were about to come over, Jiang Yuan waved his hand calmly, "Stop."

"I was a third-class Jinshi in the 231st year of the previous dynasty. Although the dynasty has changed, our Daduan has not abolished the status of those who passed the imperial examination in the previous dynasty. Instead, we fully accept it."

"According to the law, I don't need to kneel when I see you."

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the people behind Jiang Yuan with an unhappy look.

"He is a Jinshi, are you also? Why don't you kneel?"

Zhao Kai immediately grinned and said, "I was just worried that I had no chance to show off, and now you have it delivered to me."

"Oh, I just don't want to kneel, so what?" Zhao Kai said, untying the long sword at his waist and throwing it directly in front of Zhao Yan.

"Take a good look at where this knife is made."

Zhao Yan's face changed, but he still drew out his long sword and took a look, and his heart immediately sank.

It was produced by the Da Duan orthodox military camp, and judging from the standard, it is definitely at the level of sergeant or even centurion.

Zhao Kai nodded with great satisfaction. Although I am just a soldier in the Dragon Guard, everyone knows that the lowest rank of the Dragon Guard is calculated according to the sergeant outside, and the actual rank will be even higher.

You kid want me to kneel down to you. If I were a higher-ranking official, you would have to kneel down to me!

"Your Excellency, I am a scholar from the imperial capital last year. According to the law, I do not have to kneel." Bai Jingyun said lightly.

Duanmu Yuanchen's face was filled with excitement. Okay, okay, it's finally my turn.

It turns out that it’s so cool to not kneel before an official in martial arts novels!

However, just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yan above him simply waved his hand.

"Alright, no need to say more. I allow you not to kneel."

"Sir, according to the law, not only do we not have to kneel, you have to give us a seat." Jiang Yuan looked at Zhao Yan meaningfully.

Zhao Yan exchanged a cold look with Jiang Yuan and waved his hand reluctantly, "Come here, please take a seat."

Soon, several constables brought chairs and placed them behind them. Jiang Yuan looked at Fatty Zhao teasingly.

"You, when you see the imperial official, why don't you kneel?"

"I think you are defying the law. You deserve thirty strokes of the cane!"

Fatty Zhao was shocked. Oh no, it’s coming towards me!
