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

"By the way, go check by yourself to see if Shen Liuguang is still there."

Only then did Shi Yuanshan remember that there was another person in the backyard.

"I go!"

Another yamen runner, unwilling to be left behind, volunteered to go.

Shi Yuanshan walked out of the room slowly and ordered the other two yamen runners to search in the yard, while he went in another direction alone.

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

The person who spoke was none other than Shen Liuguang, whom Shi Yuanshan had just asked to look at.

The only person he called "Sir" was Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan gave Shen Liuguang a look that urged him to stay calm, and then he was the first to climb out from behind the window.

Shen Liuguang hurried to catch up. Behind them was another man in black, also following silently behind them.

"Hide first." Shen Qingyan turned and looked at the man in black and continued, "Remember, you must wait until Shi Yuanshan takes action before you act."

"Yes!" The man in black took the order and disappeared after a few jumps.

Even though Shen Liuguang had seen his abilities before, he couldn't help but look at him with envy when he saw him disappear so quickly.

Seeing his eyes like this, Shen Qingyan's lips curled slightly, and his tone was rarely humorous: "You, when I asked you to learn from me, you thought it was too hard. Do you regret it now?"

Hearing Shen Qingyan's joke, Shen Liuguang couldn't help but pout, revealing his occasional childishness: "Sir, you're laughing at me again. I've already told you, I'm not cut out for it. Even if I study till the end, it's hard to make a breakthrough. Besides, if I go to study, who will serve you?"

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Shen Qingyan gave up teasing him and quickly comforted him: "Okay, it's my fault. I apologize to you. I will never mention this matter again in the future. If I mention it again, you can punish me. How about it?"

After saying that, Shen Liuguang was not only unhappy, but also frowned: "Sir, you are Liuguang's savior, how could Liuguang punish you. Don't say such things again in the future. Otherwise, Liuguang can't bear it."

Seeing that he was doing that again and fearing that he would blame himself, Shen Qingyan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Alright, don't keep Magistrate Shi waiting any longer. Let's hurry over there."

Now is not the time to joke, Shen Qingyan quickly came to his senses.

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuguang quickly shut up and walked in front to lead the way for Shen Qingyan.

They were seen shuttling back and forth in the backyard of the government office, turning left and right from time to time, and each time they managed to avoid the yamen runners who were looking for them.

They are so skilled that it seems as if this backyard belongs to them.

And this is entirely thanks to the man in black who just disappeared.

In just a short while, he not only dealt with the girl that Shi Yuanshan arranged for Shen Qingyan, but also memorized the layout of the entire government office's backyard and drew a small map to hand over to his master.

With the help of this map, the two of them were able to safely reach Shi Yuanshan's study.

Looking at the tightly closed wooden door, Shen Liuguang lowered his voice and said, "Sir, should we try a surprise attack?"

Although there was a wall between them and he couldn't see what was going on inside, Shen Qingyan's intuition told him that now was not the time.

After waiting for a while, Shen Qingyan waved his hand slightly, and Shen Liuguang, who had been on high alert, rushed in immediately.

"boom!"

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, catching Shi Yuanshan off guard.

Naturally, he didn't have time to collect the things in his hands.

Shen Qingyan waved his hand.

Shi Yuanshan didn't understand what he meant. Before he could fully come to his senses, his hands were suddenly empty.

Looking at Shen Liuguang again, he had already presented Shi Yuanshan's things to Shen Qingyan.

Shi Yuanshan wanted to grab it, but it was too late, because Shen Qingyan had already opened it and started reading it at a glance.

After reading it, Shen Qingyan had to admit that what the Nie family did was almost the same as the content of the letter he received.

Shen Qingyan raised his head and looked at Shi Yuanshan, his eyes full of sarcasm: "County Magistrate Shi, what else do you have to say?"

As the county magistrate of Lingxiao City, not only did he not consider the people of Lingxiao City, but he actually joined forces with the Nie family to oppress the people and privately mine silver. That would have been fine, but they actually increased taxes in the name of Tianle Kingdom.

As for who the money went into, it goes without saying.

Thinking of the sufferings that the people of Lingxiao City were living in all day long, he felt infinite pity for the people and hatred for Shi Yuanshan in front of him.

Shen Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Shi Yuanshan, who was still unrepentant and calm at this moment, and wished he could execute him on the spot.

Because he was suppressing the hatred, his voice was a little hoarse, but no one could ignore it: "Shi Yuanshan, do you admit your guilt?"

Since he had seen it, and thinking of his previous arrangements for the yamen runners, Shi Yuanshan simply got straight to the point. He sneered, looked at Shen Qingyan with the eyes of a superior, and said slowly: "Are you aware of your guilt? What crime have I committed?

However, I do have something to say to Lord Shen. Lord Shen, if you pretend you saw nothing today and release the Nie family, I might be able to leave you with an intact body.

Shen Qingyan glanced coldly at the somewhat arrogant Shi Yuanshan and said clearly, "What if I refuse?"

"Then please don't blame me for being rude, sir."

Shen Qingyan and Shen Liuguang saw Shi Yuanshan smile brightly, and then shouted loudly: "Someone come!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed in from outside the door.

Among them were three yamen runners and the servants in the backyard.

Shi Yuanshan pointed at the two of them without hesitation and said, "Get rid of them for me. Deal with them cleanly and don't leave any clues."

"Yes!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Just as they were about to take action, Shen Liuguang suddenly shouted to stop them.

His eyes were gleaming as he stared at Shi Yuanshan. "County Magistrate Shi is so bold that he even dared to kill a third-rank official from the Tianle Kingdom. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Humph!" Shi Yuanshan looked at the young man in front of him with contempt in his eyes. "Consequences? I never regret anything I do. Besides, you are the ones seeking death. What does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, he looked at those people, a little impatient, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and do it."

If that martial arts master comes back soon, it will be bad.

Hearing Shi Yuanshan's urging, several people rushed towards Shen Qingyan and Shen Liuguang almost at the same time.

"Hey, why don't you come out and protect the adults?"

While Shen Liuguang was fending off the attacker in front of him, he shouted into the void.

When Shi Yuanshan heard this, he looked up in confusion.

But as soon as he raised his head, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, and then he felt a chill on his neck, and a cold light flashed.

"stop!"

The roar of the man in black rang out in Shi Yuanshan's study.

Hearing this, Shi Yuanshan's men stopped and looked at him in horror.

Shen Liuguang stopped his movements and came to Shen Qingyan: "Sir, what should we do next?"

Shen Qingyan looked at Shi Yuanshan with cold eyes: "Take Magistrate Shi to the court!"
