The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"Damn it, Zhang Ma, you don't have eyes. Can't you see that I'm being controlled by others? Hurry up and call out all the brothers in the government office and arrest these people and beat them up for me."

Nie Guizhou was a little out of breath because he had been held by the collar for such a long distance. His cheeks were red, even redder than the apples in September.

"what!"

The yamen runner named Zhang Ma looked at Nie Guizhou in shock, then looked at Shen Qingyan. Without thinking, he shouted angrily, "Why don't you release Master Nie right now, or we will make you pay for it."

Shen Qingyan lowered his eyes, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said seriously: "Is that so? If that's the case, then quickly call your master out."

Since someone was helping to call, it saved him the trouble.

Shen Qingyan's eyes were deep and bottomless. He glanced at Zhang Ma, who didn't move at all, and urged him, "Didn't you say to call your master? Why haven't you called him yet?"

Seeing him so calm, Zhang Ma wanted to back out, but Nie Guizhou, who was being carried, didn't give him any choice. He gasped and cried, "Zhang Ma, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go! Can't you see that I'm almost being strangled to death?"

Zhang Ma thought of his entire family in Lingxiao City, so he didn't dare delay any longer. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. Please wait for a moment, Master Nie."

Having said that, he turned around and entered the government office again.

After a while, dozens of yamen runners came out of the government office.

They all held killing sticks and stood in two rows, and another person slowly walked out behind them.

This person was none other than Shi Yuanshan, the county magistrate of Lingxiao City.

He is just over forty years old, fat and big-eared, and should have a good living condition.

His belly is as big as that of a five-month pregnant woman, and his face is round and red all day long. I don’t know if it’s because he couldn’t get enough of the sun or if it’s natural, but people who see him always think he is drunk.

"Who is causing trouble in my Lingxiao City?"

Everyone heard his voice before he showed up.

"Making trouble? Beating the drum to report a crime means there's a case, how can it be called making trouble?"

Shen Liuguang looked at the fat old man in front of him with contempt.

I guess he must have plundered the people's wealth while working in Lingxiao City, otherwise he wouldn't be so fat, almost like a pig.

"Case, what case?"

A pair of small eyes swept over, but his gaze only paused slightly on Shen Liuguang before passing on.

Then his eyes fell on Nie Guizhou behind Shen Liuguang.

Nie Guizhou glared at him when he saw him looking at him, and yelled, "Shi Yuanshan, why are you wasting your time talking to them? Come and save me now, or I'll report you to my father."

Shi Yuanshan was the county magistrate of a city after all. This Nie Guizhou actually yelled at him in front of so many people. Didn't this undermine his dignity as a county magistrate?

His expression changed immediately, but he quickly hid it.

He waved his hand, signaling the people from the yamen to bring Nie Guizhou over.

But Nie Guizhou is in Kuzhu's hands, and Kuzhu will not let him go without Shen Qingyan's order.

The two yamen runners tried several times, but they couldn't even get close to him and Nie Guizhou.

"Is this how Magistrate Shi handles cases? He doesn't ask about the reasons or the facts of the case, but instead listens to the criminals. This is the first time I've seen this since I became an official. Magistrate Shi is truly an eye-opener for me."

Shen Qingyan raised his dark eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth, but clearly not a smile at all.

After hearing this, Shi Yuanshan noticed Shen Qingyan.

He only glanced at him indifferently, frowning slightly, and said impatiently: "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in Lingxiao City? Come, arrest him for this county magistrate. I will interrogate him thoroughly."

Shi Yuanshan snorted in his heart, thinking that although he was just a small county magistrate, he had met many people of high status.

This guy looks imposing, but he's just putting on an empty show. He can scare others, but forget about scare him.

As soon as Shi Yuanshan finished speaking, several yamen runners came towards Shen Qingyan.

Seeing their ferocious appearance, everyone immediately felt that Shen Qingyan was probably finished.

The people in Lingxiao City all knew that anyone who entered the government office would be beaten with a stick without any bribes, regardless of whether they were wronged or not.

"I don't know who dares to touch my master!"

Just as the yamen runners were about to attack, Shen Liuguang stood in front of Shen Qingyan, glaring at Shi Yuanshan. "You are just a small county magistrate, yet you are so arrogant. Do you know who my master is?"

"grown ups?"

Hearing Shen Liuguang call "Sir", Shi Yuanshan was stunned and became suspicious. He looked at Shen Qingyan again.

He had met many officials in Baidi City, but had never seen this person. Could it be that they were trying to fool him?

Thinking of this, Shi Yuanshan narrowed his eyes, cleared his throat, and said, "Since you call him sir, may I ask which sir he is? Do you have the seal issued by the emperor?"

Since the time has come to reveal his identity, Shen Qingyan no longer holds back.

In an instant, his eyes were as bright as torches, and his righteousness was so strong that no one could ignore him.

His voice was full of unique magnetism as he whispered, "Liuguang, show him my seal."

"Yes!"

When Shen Liuguang heard this, he smiled slightly and slowly took something out of his arms.

If you look closely, you can clearly see that it is a seal, and there is a letter in his hand.

He first showed the seal to Shi Yuanshan.

Everyone saw that Shi Yuanshan, who had been so relaxed just now, suddenly took a few breaths after reading the seal. He looked at Shen Qingyan in disbelief, and then lowered his head again as if he was afraid of something.

Then he saw Shen Liuguang handing him the letter.

Shi Yuanshan took the envelope with trembling hands, opened it carefully, and read the letter almost at a glance. At the end, he actually took the letter, knelt down facing the southeast, and kowtowed three times.

So everyone looked in the direction he was kowtowing, but saw nothing!

"What did Magistrate Shi see?"

"I don't know, it must be related to that letter!"

"Nonsense, I also know it's related to the letter!"

The people outside were discussing in low voices.

……

"Sir Shen, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. If I've offended you just now, please forgive me." Shi Yuanshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, made a gesture of invitation with one hand, and put on a flattering smile, and continued, "It's really hot, Sir Shen, please come in quickly."

"Someone, hurry up and serve tea to Lord Shen!"

"No, the most important thing right now is to deal with the case."

Shi Yuanshan wanted to take Shen Qingyan to the back hall of the yamen, but was stopped by Shen Qingyan.

Shi Yuanshan looked at Nie Guizhou, and when he saw his unfriendly look, he quickly looked away.

Looking at Shen Qingyan again, he seemed to be waiting for his reply.

None of them are easy to deal with! Shi Yuanshan was in a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled awkwardly and asked tentatively, "Sir Shen, I wonder what crime this Mr. Nie committed that you had to personally take care of it?"
