The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

County Magistrate Wang grabbed Sun Shan tightly, his eyes bulging, his teeth bared as he shouted, "Sir, these three thieves truly deserve to die. Sir, you must not let them go. Sir, such evil thieves cannot be satisfied until they are killed."

During the Lantern Festival, County Magistrate Wang was thinking about the sweet love he had with his new concubine, but suddenly three vicious criminals appeared and tried to rob him. Wouldn't his life be hanging by a thread?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become.

So he said: "Sir, I have the facts and will take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, his official robes fluttering, and disappeared in less than a few seconds.

Gui Ge'er asked doubtfully, "Brother Shan, what does Lord Wang want to do?"

He looked very angry just now. I'm most afraid that he would do something impulsive under the influence of impulse.

Besides, didn't the thief say that since County Magistrate Wang is a high-ranking official, he has already changed his target. Regardless of whether he is caught or not, he will not be killed or robbed.

County Magistrate Wang really shouldn't be so angry.

Sun Shan had no idea what County Magistrate Wang was going to do.

It’s a pity that this is a remote small county. If it were the capital, County King would have been punished for such a panic.

He shook his head and said, "Xia Dianli and Liang Xunjian are in the prison, and County Magistrate Wang can't do anything."

However, Sun Shan guessed wrong, County Magistrate Wang could really do something.

He is especially closely related to Xia Dianli.

County Magistrate Wang lightly entered the prison and lightly ordered the jailer to torture the three thieves. They suffered not only mental torture from Sun Shan, but also physical torture from County Magistrate Wang.

Haha, County Magistrate Wang ordered the jailer to break the legs of the three thieves so that they could not escape.

The thief who dares to attack his own home doesn't know how powerful he is.

Today I am stuck in the yamen. It is harder to get out than to climb to the sky. It is even harder to get out safely than to climb to the sky.

When Sun Shan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued with what he was doing.

After all, he also agreed in his heart that the three thieves should be severely tortured.

This little bit of pain is nothing to the victim.

In order to avoid going too far and maintain his image of being upright and honest, Sun Shan summoned County Magistrate Wang and Lieutenant Xia.

He scolded him harshly: "Xia Dianli, how do you do your job? You were escorting the prisoners properly, but you let them fall from a height and break their legs. How can I be at ease with you when you act so rashly?"

Xia Dianli and Wang Xiancheng were both bewildered.

What thief fell from a height? It was obvious that his leg was broken by the jailer.

Did Lord Sun receive the wrong message?

But that shouldn’t be the case, as Lord Sun’s spies are everywhere in the yamen.

For example, the guards of the Sun family, some jailers were bribed by Lord Sun's guards, and the old man guarding the door was moved by Lord Sun's small favors and often tipped off the police.

Xia Dianli and Wang Xiancheng looked at each other with their turtle eyes and green bean eyes, and suddenly they understood.

Xia Dianli immediately confessed his guilt: "Sir, it was my fault. I will be more careful next time I escort someone. Please forgive me."

County Magistrate Wang said pretentiously, "Sir, Xia Dianli has admitted his mistake and will not do it again. Please forgive him this time."

Sun Shan kept a cold face and said calmly, "I'll forgive you this time. If you make the same mistake again, I'll follow the rules. However, I can escape the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of a living crime. I'll deduct half a month's wages from you as punishment."

Xia Dianli:......

Deductions, deductions, and more deductions! It’s always deductions.

When Xia Dianli returned to work after the New Year, he escaped a disaster, but unexpectedly, he was still fined for the Lantern Festival thief incident.

Damn it! Besides deducting money, what else can Lord Sun do?

Xia Dianli felt so wronged that he wanted to seek justice and expose the fact that the mastermind behind this was County Magistrate Wang.

If you want to deduct anything, deduct it from County Magistrate Wang’s wages. He is not short of money anyway.

But when he met Sun Shan's triangular eyes, which were raised high in the air, and took a closer look, he saw that they were as vicious as the peaks of a mountain, and he immediately dared not say a word.

He obeyed the order timidly: "Yes, sir, I understand. Thank you very much."

We must make County Magistrate Wang pay for it. This time he is completely the scapegoat.

County Magistrate Wang didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, Sun Shan still had to pay a fine in the end.

Those who knew that Lord Sun loved money never expected him to love it so much.

It is said that the wages of officials that were deducted last time were used to subsidize those who worked overtime and stayed up late.

Oh, this Lord Sun is really brilliant.

No wonder they were so willing to pay double overtime pay. It turns out that the wool comes from the sheep, and they are robbing Peter to pay Paul.

After going through so many circles, it's still the officials' money that's circulating around.

It's handed to you today, and tomorrow it will be taken out of your hands and passed to the next colleague.

In the end, the government didn't have to spend a penny and even gained a good reputation.

Emma, ​​this Lord Sun is really superb. He is absolutely proficient in dealing with them, and he handles it with ease and skill.

County Magistrate Wang and Clerk Xia ran out of the office in shame and ran to the prison gate.

Xia Dianli said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Master Wang, you must return the wages that Master Sun withheld. I am willing to work for you."

County Magistrate Wang looked at Xia Dianli speechlessly. What a miser he was. He was so stingy with such a small salary, and he didn't rely on it to make a living.

Reluctantly, he said, "Okay, I'll replenish it for you privately later."

Three melons and two dates, County Magistrate Wang is not there at all.

Instead, he said, "Xia Dianli, you heard what Lord Sun said just now, didn't you?"

Xia Dianli nodded: "I know, what's the matter?"

County Magistrate Wang rolled his eyes again. What a boor, without any wisdom at all.

He said helplessly: "Master Sun said that three thieves broke their legs after falling from a high place."

Xia Dianli looked at County Magistrate Wang in confusion. He had heard Lord Sun's words clearly, so why was there any need for him to repeat them?

County Magistrate Wang felt that if he didn't explain it clearly, the unsophisticated people wouldn't understand.

No wonder all his descendants are officials. With such low IQ, it’s hard for them to turn things around.

He continued helplessly, "Xia Dianli, since the thieves' legs are broken, we have to let them break them!"

Xia Dianli: .....

County Magistrate Wang: ...

County Magistrate Wang's mouth was dry, but he still continued, "Xia Dianli, take the prisoner to the platform. After we passed by, the prisoner accidentally fell from it and broke his leg."

The play must be performed in full. Lord Sun has already given them some ideas. They must perform the play in full so that everyone can see that the three thieves really fell from a high place.

If you want to ask how I broke my leg before?

County Magistrate Wang would definitely curse and say that you have seen it wrong.

The thief was fine before. He was trying to escape during the escort process and accidentally fell from a high place.

What about his leg being broken before? That’s slander!

Sun Dali came to report that County Magistrate Wang and Li Dian Xia pushed the thief off the platform, and he let out a miserable scream.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Master, the thief is really miserable. His leg was already broken, and after falling down again, it can't be broken any more."

Sun Shan waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's broken, so what? Just find a doctor to take a look."

Then he sighed and said, "Oh, it would be great if there was someone in the government office who could treat illnesses. It would be more expensive to hire a doctor like this."
