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

Jiang Yuan, who was pointed at by hundreds of cold spears, couldn't help but take a step back.

These are the city defense troops, who have fought their way out of the battlefield and are the elite among the elite in the army.

Even though the East Factory has many masters, they may be able to kill these city defense forces in seconds in a one-on-one fight, but once the battle begins, it will be as easy for the city defense forces to slaughter these martial arts masters as to kill chickens.

"you……"

"Catch them all!" Before Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the city defense commander shouted loudly, and several soldiers immediately rushed towards Jiang Yuan and his companions with ferocious looks.

Qin Tianzhu and Wang Gang looked at Jiang Yuan anxiously. With so many people around, they had no confidence at all that they could get Jiang Yuan out.

"Don't resist." Jiang Yuan turned around and shouted at them.

After a short while, Jiang Yuan and his companions were tied up tightly.

"Haha! You dare to charge into the city defense army? This is the first time since the founding of the country. You are quite courageous!" The general looked at them with a sneer.

"Take them all away and put them in jail to await your punishment!"

A simple sentence directly determined the fate of Jiang Yuan and others.

Jiang Yuan walked slowly in the team with a serious expression on his face. This time he was really finished.

The crime of ramming into the city defense troops is a serious crime no matter which dynasty it is.

Even Wang Mu might not be able to save it unless the one on the dragon throne gives the order.

"Please bear with it for a while, I will report it to our leader!" said a person in charge of the East Factory angrily.

No matter what, rushing here to arrest people is almost like rubbing the face of their Dongchang into the ground.

Jiang Yuan laughed bitterly and shook his head. This matter was probably not something Wang Mu could handle. Perhaps in terms of official rank, Wang Mu was much higher than the general of the city defense army.

But in fact, it is not very useful for the city defense army, who only obey military orders.

Unless you have a good relationship with the big boss of the Ministry of War, but the key is that the entire Great Duan Dynasty is still fighting foreign wars, and the Ministry of War is in the limelight. It is hard to say whether they are willing to pay attention to you or whether you can find anyone.

While Jiang Yuan was thinking about it, the group had already arrived at the city defense army prison.

"Go in. I advise you not to make yourself miserable since you won't be alive for many days anyway."

A soldier spoke coldly, then opened the cell door and pushed everyone in.

It must be said that Jiang Yuan is very familiar with prison cells.

I was locked up for several days when I first came to this world, and now I’m back again and don’t feel awkward at all.

"Okay, stop looking so sad and just stay still." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Qin Tianzhu looked at Jiang Yuan speechlessly: "Sir, you, why don't you react at all? We might die."

"Yeah, I know." Jiang Yuan still spoke softly.

"No way, sir, you are about to die, and you are not afraid at all? Don't you want to go out?" Qin Tianzhu looked at Jiang Yuan in shock.

Who is this person? How can he be so calm even when he is about to die?

Jiang Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "What about me? If I cry now, will they let us go?"

"Just stay still and wait for Lao Wei and Lao Wang to make their move."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan put some straw under him.

Previously, when I was still entangled in the trial of the Yang and Ning families, I was being targeted by others, but now there is no need for that at all.

The trial of Yang Ning's two families is today, and he has been arrested by the city defense forces. If he can get out in the future, it can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

Not only did he not openly challenge the Yang family, he also inexplicably obtained one million taels of silver.

What do you call this? This is called character!

Just as Jiang Yuan was entertaining himself in the cell, the East Factory in the city.

"You mean that Xue Zhen from the city defense army directly led his men into the East Factory and took Jiang Yuan and the others away?" Chen Liu looked at the responsible persons with a cold face.

"It's like this, I, we..." Wei Yong whispered with his head down.

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense to me!" Chen Liu suddenly shouted, scaring Wei Yong and the others so much that they trembled all over.

Wei Yong mustered up the courage to look at Chen Liu and said, "Captain, there's nothing we can do about this. We can't just fight the city defense army, right?"

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Chen Liu's face turned red instantly, and he grabbed Wei Yong's collar.

"What the hell are you afraid of?!"

"Even if this gets reported to the higher-ups, I'll be there to take the blame. Why don't you dare fight the city defense forces?"

Wei Yong blinked and said nothing. "When we fight the city defense army, it won't be a question of whether you can hold on or not. I will definitely not have a good ending."

I still know when to show off and when not to show off.

"And you! Are you all just trash? Even if Jiang Yuan is guilty, are you really going to let Xue Zhen take him away from the East Factory?"

"Couldn't you guys stall for a bit and wait for me to get Jiang Yuan away? Now it's all over the capital, and word will spread that our East Factory has been captured by the city defense forces."

"Alas, we in the East Factory are all bullies who only care about the strong and bully the weak. When we encounter the city defense army, we are like mice seeing a cat."

“Every one of them is really talented!”

After venting his anger, Chen Liu still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Wei Yong! I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Find all of Xue Zhen's files for me!"

"Yes!"

Wei Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, when all the information about Xue Zhen was placed in front of Chen Liu.

"Are all here?" Chen Liu looked at Wei Yong dissatisfiedly.

Wei Yong nodded immediately: "Yes, Consul General, it's all here, not a single one missing."

"Are you sure? Why do I only see the merit book? Where is his fault book?" Chen Liu said, slamming the table.

Wei Yong scratched his head and looked at Chen Liu helplessly: "Sir, it's not that we can't collect it, it's that Xue Zhen really doesn't have it."

"Is there really nothing at all?" Chen Liu looked at Wei Yong in disbelief.

In the entire Daduan, from the three highest officials to the ninth-rank officials, who doesn't take advantage of his position to make some money?

This was already an open secret. Could Xue Zhen really be such an honest official? Chen Liu didn't quite believe it.

Wei Yong pointed helplessly at the merit book and said, "Sir, it says in it that Xue Zhen is an orphan. His parents starved to death long ago, and even his wife died in the war. His only son is now in the Dragon Guard."

"Besides, his salary is quite high, plus there are various rewards in the army. There is no need for him to be greedy. It is more than enough."

Chen Liu lowered his head and thought for a while, then he took a long breath, stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"This is troublesome. This is really troublesome. This guy is not greedy for money, but why is he not lustful?"

"There's nothing to hold against me. How can I go to him and ask for his release?"

Just as Chen Liu was anxiously staying in the room, two carriages slowly drove in from the outer gate of the imperial capital.

A man holding a long sword jumped off the carriage in a dashing manner.

"Well, this is the imperial capital, it doesn't look that great!"
