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

Zhao Yan stared at Jiang Yuan for a long time and finally came up with a solution.

"Jiang Yuan, this matter is rather complicated. In my opinion, we cannot discuss it together."

"How about this, let's first investigate the matter of Shopkeeper Zhao hiring someone to blackmail you."

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he looked at Fatty Zhao and said, "Boss Zhao, we have all the evidence. Do you plead guilty?"

Fatty Zhao glanced at Jiang Yuan with a frustrated look, bowed and said, "I plead guilty!"

"Okay!" Zhao Yan nodded, slowly picked up the gavel and placed it on the table.

"Okay, Manager Zhao, you've committed the crime of extortion in this dynasty. I'm here to pronounce the verdict!"

"He must apologize to Jiang Yuan, the shopkeeper of Zuijiangyue, and be fined three hundred taels of silver. Shopkeeper Zhao, do you have any objections?"

Fatty Zhao shook his head listlessly. Having said that, I still have a trivial objection!

"No, Your Excellency is fair and honest."

Zhao Yan nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan.

"As for Jiang Yuan, although you were blackmailed, you instigated others to smash and destroy Feng Ke Lai's store, causing serious damage to it!"

"Although Wang Xiaowu and the others are guilty, I will judge them one by one later. And you, who tortured Wang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaosan and others, are also guilty!"

"Do you have any objection?"

Jiang Yuan sat calmly in the chair, looking at Zhao Yan with a playful look.

"Of course I object."

"Sir, this matter has a cause and effect. If Shopkeeper Zhao hadn't hired someone to blackmail me, how could I have treated Wang Xiaowu and the others without knowing the cause?"

"This is clearly one case, but you insisted on splitting it into two. This makes me doubt whether you are biased!"

Snapped!

The heavy sound of the gavel rang out, and Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Yuan with a gloomy look.

"How dare you! Do I need you to teach me how to solve a case?"

"Jiang Yuan, you openly interfered with the verdict, your crime is even more serious!"

Jiang Yuan shrugged helplessly: "Then it seems that the Lord is determined not to judge the case fairly and impartially, right?"

"I'll say it again, I don't need you to help me solve the case!" Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Yuan coldly.

So what if I’m a Jinshi!

As long as you are not an official now, what can you do to me!

There are so many Jinshi in the whole Daduan, and there are many unlucky people who have been Jinshi all their lives but have never held an official position.

If you had connections, you would have been there long ago, and there would be no need for me to judge you.

But you are obviously a nobody, I don’t even know why you are being so arrogant to me!

"I really give you face!" Jiang Yuan sneered and stood up directly, and Zhao Kai and others behind him responded instantly.

"Damn it! Uncle can tolerate it, but Auntie can't tolerate it!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he rushed towards Manager Zhao with lightning speed and the attitude of a kind-hearted person who is invincible.

In an instant, he raised his foot and kicked it hard.

Zhao Kai followed closely behind and delivered a series of military punches, beating Fatty Zhao so hard that he rolled his eyes.

"Ha! Look at my Sleeping Arhat Fist!" Duanmu Yuanchen rushed up excitedly.

This was actual combat, not comparable to fighting with the young eunuchs in the palace, and it almost instantly made his blood boil.

Being beaten by three men, Fatty Zhao was crawling on the ground with bruises and a swollen face.

"Sir! Sir, help me!"

It was not until then that Zhao Yan, who was sitting above, reacted and stood up in anger.

"Come here! Capture all these people!"

However, before the constables could come over, Jiang Yuan and the other two stopped and stood still.

"and many more!"

Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Yuan fiercely: "You disrupted the court and scorned the law. What else can I say?"

Before Jiang Yuan could say anything, Bai Jingyun came over and said in a low voice, "Brother, what are you doing? If you're not satisfied, we can reveal our identities and ask him to re-sentence."

"But you're hitting someone now, and we're totally wrong. Even if we resentence you, I'm afraid you'll still have to spend a few days in jail."

Jiang Yuan squinted at Bai Jingyun and said, "I still say the same thing, rather than swallowing this emotional garbage and making yourself angry."

"It's better to throw the garbage out and let others feel bad. The most important thing in life is to be happy."

Bai Jingyun stared at Jiang Yuan in a daze, unable to speak.

You're happy, but what's next? Are you really going to let me go to jail with you?

"Sir, I did hit someone, I didn't deny it." Jiang Yuan looked at Zhao Yan calmly.

This made Zhao Yan very angry. Do you admit it?

You still need to admit this? Do you think I'm blind?

"Well, Jiang Yuan has committed malicious wounding, disrupted the court, and assaulted people in public, causing a negative impact. I will now pronounce the verdict..."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuan interrupted Zhao Yan directly.

Zhao Yan sneered, "Why? Everyone present saw you hit someone just now. Are you still trying to deny it?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Zhao Yan helplessly: "Sir, I have already said that I plead guilty. I didn't deny it. Why don't you understand?"

"I think you are really a little sick, sir. I am afraid you will drool even if you are cured."

"I really don't know how someone like you could become the chief accountant. With your pig brain, do you think you can even do the math?"

"How about this, my hometown is in need of a street sweeper, and I happen to know two people. Why don't you just call me Big Brother and give me a gift, and I'll introduce you to someone?"

"You!" Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Yuan in disbelief.

How dare you do this!

Even if you are a Jinshi and have certain privileges, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want.

You insulted the imperial officials in public, and now no one can save you!

"Someone come here! Catch him immediately!" Zhao Yan couldn't bear it any longer and waved his hand to throw a token from the table.

"Eighty strokes of the cane and imprisonment!"

Snapped!

The token fell at Jiang Yuan's feet. Several constables were about to rush over, but Zhao Kai quickly drew out his long sword.

"Who dares to come forward!"

"How dare you! Are you trying to rebel?" Zhao Yan was completely furious. He never expected that this group of people would be so bold.

It would have been fine if he had beaten Fatty Zhao in public, but he actually dared to insult him. Now here comes another person who actually dares to draw a knife against him in court.

"Catch them right away! Take them to jail!" Zhao Yan roared, and more than a dozen detectives around him rushed forward immediately.

Jiang Yuan slowly squatted down, picked up the token on the ground, and then walked directly to the desk and looked at Zhao Yan.

"Master Zhao, I'll give you one more chance. You can get the token back, but it won't be so easy to get your face back."

Zhao Yan's already small eyes narrowed even further: "Okay, okay, I want to see how you can make me lose face!"

Jiang Yuan nodded calmly, took out a token from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

"Master Zhao, open your eyes and see if you recognize this token."

The moment he saw the token, all the expressions on Zhao Yan's face were replaced by shock.

The crane pattern carved on the token is extremely clear. This is an animal that only first-rank officials are qualified to use.

Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

In principle, you, Zhao Yan, can convict me.

But now, the principles are in my hands!
