As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

At dawn, a ray of light shone through the cracks in the cell.

Jiang Yue rubbed his sore shoulders, took a deep breath, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go, it's time."

Outside the county government office, people gathered and whispered.

Jiang Yue and his group appeared and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Ding Chen followed Jiang Yue closely, Qiu'er followed closely, and Xuanyuan Che was like a silent guardian, silently watching everything around him.

Master Zhao and Mr. Liu had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Jiang Yue and others coming, Master Zhao showed an imperceptible sneer on his face. His eyes seemed to say that everything was under his control.

This sneer made Jiang Yue feel uneasy. She felt that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

As we entered the county government office, the atmosphere was solemn.

Jiang Yue did not hesitate at all and took out a thin piece of letter paper from his sleeve. It was the forged joint letter.

"Master Zhao, do you recognize this thing?" Her voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the lobby.

Mr. Zhao pretended to be calm. "This is a joint letter accusing Jiang Yue of disrupting the market. The evidence is solid."

Jiang Yue sneered, "Is the evidence conclusive? Master Zhao, take a closer look at the watermark on this letter." She held the letter up to the sunlight. "This watermark is completely different from the letter paper that Mr. Liu usually uses, but it's exactly the same as the letter paper that Advisor Sun usually uses. This is enough to prove that this joint letter is a forgery!"

Xuanyuan Che stepped forward at the right moment and presented the letter paper he had collected from the Liu Mansion. "Sir, this is the letter paper we found in the Liu Mansion. Please examine it carefully."

The onlookers began to talk and accuse Master Zhao and Mr. Liu of their evil deeds.

Mr. Liu's face turned pale. He didn't expect Jiang Yue to be able to find such evidence.

Master Zhao's expression also turned ugly, but he still pretended to be calm.

"This evidence was fabricated by Jiang Yue!" Master Zhao slammed the table and stood up. "She's doing this to slander me and evade responsibility!" He pulled a scroll from his sleeve. "This is witness testimony that proves Jiang Yue's guilt!"

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and a bad premonition surged in her heart... She slowly said, "Master Zhao, your testimony..."

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Master Zhao, I'm afraid your testimony is also forged?" Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound, which struck Master Zhao's heart again and again.

But Master Zhao refused to admit it. He stiffened his neck and shouted at the top of his lungs, "This evidence is all real! Jiang Yue fabricated it to slander me and evade responsibility!" He slammed the so-called witness statement on the table. "It's written clearly in black and white. How could it be false?"

Ding Chen held Jiang Yue's hand tightly, giving her strength, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

Jiang Yue felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She shook his hand back gratefully and gave him a reassuring look.

"Master Zhao, you keep saying that I forged evidence, then do you dare to let everyone see who the witness in your testimony is?" Jiang Yue's voice was not loud, but it was resounding, and every word hit everyone's eardrums.

Master Zhao's eyes flickered as he stammered, "This...this witness isn't here right now. When he arrives, he'll naturally be able to prove my innocence!"

"Not here?" Jiang Yue sneered, "I guess he doesn't dare to come? Could it be that the witness you mentioned is completely fictitious?"

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere in the county government office was extremely tense. The onlookers were discussing the matter, some believing Jiang Yue, while others believed that Master Zhao would not lie.

At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the crowd: "I want to see who dares to confuse right and wrong here!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform and with a dignified face striding towards them... He was Censor Lin.

The appearance of Censor Lin was like a stabilizing force cast into the turbulent sea.

The originally noisy county government office suddenly became quiet, and everyone saluted him.

Mr. Zhao's face was pale and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He never expected that Censor Lin would appear here.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to Censor Lin." Master Zhao's voice trembled as he forced a smile.

Censor Lin ignored him and walked straight to Jiang Yue, asking with concern, "Miss Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Yue bowed slightly and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Lin. I am fine."

Censor Lin's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Master Zhao. He spoke sternly, "I've heard that someone here is abusing their power for personal gain and perverting the law, oppressing the people. I've come to investigate. Master Zhao, do you admit your guilt?"

Master Zhao was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud. "Your Excellency, I am innocent! It was Jiang Yue..."

"Shut up!" Censor Lin interrupted him harshly. "I will investigate the truth. There's no need for you to quibble!" He turned to the onlookers and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, I promise that I will handle this matter impartially and will not tolerate any corrupt officials!"

The people cheered and were full of hope for the arrival of Censor Lin.

Ding Chen held Jiang Yue's hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid. Lord Lin is here and will definitely give you justice."

Jiang Yue nodded, but she felt a faint sense of unease. She knew that there was someone behind Master Zhao, and things might not be that simple.

Censor Lin began his investigation. He carefully questioned everyone present and recorded their testimony one by one.

Master Zhao and wealthy businessman Liu were trembling beside them, their eyes filled with fear.

At this moment, Advisor Sun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up. He walked up to Censor Lin and bowed respectfully, "Sir, I have something to say."

A subtle glint of viciousness flashed across Strategist Sun's eyes. He slowly spoke, "I can prove that Jiang Yue..."
