Chapter 347 Reversing the Universe
Half an hour later, the policeman who went to search the Yuelai Inn came in from the outside.

"Master Xu, we found this package in Xu Feiyang's room at Yuelai Inn," said the policeman Zhen He.

"Xu Feiyang, do you have something to say?" Xu Feng asked.

"My lord, I pawned the silver." Xu Feiyang said.

"What did you pawn? How much money did you get?" Xu Feng asked again.

"Xiaosheng pawned a jade pendant and got 50 taels of silver. A total of one tael of silver was used, plus 380 copper coins." Xu Feiyang said.

"Open the package and see how much money is inside!" Xu Feng said.

"Master Xu, there are 140 taels of silver and 620 copper coins in it." Zhen He said after checking.

"Xu Feiyang, why is there an extra 100 taels of silver in your package?" Xu Feng asked.

"Big, lord, little, Xiaosheng, I don't know why this happened." Xu Feiyang said in a panic.

"Officials and businessmen colluded to bully a thirteen or fourteen-year-old minor. Not killing him is not enough to vent his anger." Chen Yu was furious. He found the pawn in Erqiao County, and after showing his official seal, he asked the other party to mobilize fifty arresters.
After another half an hour, Wei Cai and four policemen returned to the county government from outside.

"Master Xu, we followed Wei Cai and found this dagger under a big tree outside the city," said the policeman Zhang Hu.

"Check, is the dagger a murder weapon?" Xu Feng said.

Zhang Yuancheng took the dagger, gestured a few times on the corpse, and said, "Master Chen, this dagger is the murder weapon."

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, Xu Feiyang, can you plead guilty?" Xu Feng shouted.

"My lord, I didn't kill people. I didn't kill people." Xu Feiyang said incoherently.

"Pull it down and beat him until he pleads guilty." Xu Feng said.

"Do it!" Chen Yu shouted.

"Yes, Lord Magistrate." Geng Zhong, the magistrate of Erqiao County, responded and signaled to the surrounding police officers to arrest the person.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Xu Biao asked in disbelief when he was suddenly caught by two policemen.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Biao, Wei Cai, Xu Bo, Xu Feng, and Xu Jiang were all arrested.

"Wei Wu, do you want to rebel?" Xu Feng shouted, he is the county magistrate of Erqiao County, and he has the highest official rank in Erqiao County, and the arresters under his command unexpectedly captured him by the masses.
"Master Zhifu is here!" Geng Zhong shouted loudly.

"Master Prefect?"

"The magistrate is here?"

"When did the magistrate come?" Everyone inside and outside the hall looked puzzled.

Chen Yu strode in, sat on the chair in the hall, picked up the gavel and patted it, and said coldly: "Xu Feng, Xu Biao, Xu Bo, Xu Jiang, Wei Cai, are you guilty?"

"Master Chen, what is your crime?" Xu Feng gritted his teeth and asked.

"Drag him down and beat him until he pleads guilty!" Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" The two yamen servants answered, dragged Xu Feng outside the hall, brandished their water and fire sticks vigorously, and started beating him fiercely.

"Ahhhh!" A series of screams came from outside the hall.

"Xu Biao, are you convicted?" Chen Yu asked.

"My lord, the grassroots did not break the law." Xu Biao said.

"Procrastinate until he pleads guilty." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" Two more hall guards came out and dragged Xu Biao out.

"Xu Bo, are you convicted?" Chen Yu asked.

"My lord, the grassroots have always been law-abiding," Xu Bo said slowly.

"Drag him out and beat him until he pleads guilty." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" The two hall servants pushed Xu Bo out.

"Xu Jiang, don't you plead guilty?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"My lord, the grassroots did not break the law." Xu Jiang said, the master has not pleaded guilty, how can he plead guilty?

"Alright, drag him out as well and beat him until he pleads guilty." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" The two yamen servants nodded in response.

"Wei Cai, I know what you have done. If you think about it carefully, if I didn't have the evidence, would I have done anything to a county magistrate?" Chen Yu asked with a half-smile.

Wei Cai's heart tightened, and he said indistinctly: "My lord, I, I plead guilty."

"What have you done, come from the truth." Chen Yu said.

"Sir, Xu Biao gave me five taels of silver and asked me to come out and accuse Xu Feiyang of killing Zhang Erqiao." Wei Cai said.

"Where is the silver?" Chen Yu asked.

"Xu Biao gave Caomin two liang of silver, and said that he would give Caomin three liang of silver after he said that it was done. Besides me, he also hired three people." Wei Cai quickly took out two liang of silver from his pocket.

"Bring those three people up." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" Geng Zhong nodded, signaling to the police outside to bring the other three inside.

"Who is there?" Chen Yu shouted.

"Grassman Li Dahu, I have met the magistrate."

"Grassman Wu Ahman, I have met the magistrate."

"Craftsman Zhou Dayin, I have met the magistrate." The three young men said anxiously.

"What have you done, come from the truth." Chen Yu said.

"About an hour ago, Xu Biao gave me two taels of silver," Li Dahu said.

Wu Aman and Zhou Dayin repeatedly echoed.

"Let them sign and draw a deposit." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" Bo Li Yuantu, the head of Erqiao County, nodded in agreement.

"Master Chen, this is the criminal evidence collected by the lower officials." Zhou Zhengxian, the magistrate of Erqiao County, took out a booklet.

After looking at the contents of the brochure, Chen Yu said, "Geng Zhong, take someone to verify it."

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Geng Zhong nodded, and ordered the police and yamen servants to investigate.

Half an hour later, more than 100 people came to the county government one after another to inform the county Xu Feng.

"The county magistrate of Erqiao County violated the law and acted for private interests. All of them will be put in prison. At [-]:[-] noon tomorrow, they will be executed!" Chen Yu said.

"Master Chen, I know my mistake, please forgive me!" Xu Feng begged for mercy weakly.

"What's the use of knowing a mistake? Can the dead people be resurrected? As the magistrate of the Northwest Prefecture and the Marquis of the Northwest of the Great Xia Empire, how can you allow the heinous people like you to live freely within the scope of my jurisdiction?" Chen Yu Said in a cold voice.

"Don't detain them yet?" Geng Zhong shouted.

"From now on, the magistrate of Erqiao County will be temporarily replaced by the county magistrate Zhou Zhengxian. The county magistrate of Erqiao County will be temporarily replaced by the lord Bo Li Yuantu. The head catcher Wei Wu will take over temporarily," Chen Yu said.

"Yes, magistrate!" The four replied happily.

"With a period of half a year, whoever is qualified for the current position will officially become the county magistrate, county magistrate, master, and pawn." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, Lord Prefect!" The four nodded.

"I will let the past be forgotten. From now on, whoever dares to embezzle Mo's bank account, who dares to blackmail the people, whoever dares to collude with merchants, and whoever dares to falsely benefit the public for private gain will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law. I will do what I say." Chen Yu said solemnly. said.

"The lower officials dare not." The four said quickly.

Leaving the county office, he returned to the inn to stay for one night. Before dawn the next day, Chen Yu took two servant girls and left from the west gate of Erqiao County.

From winter to spring, he has to rush back to the government office to preside over the annual government examination.

The imperial examinations of the Great Xia Empire are divided into county examinations, state examinations, government examinations, and palace examinations.

Those who passed the county examination became Tongsheng, those who passed the state examination became scholars, those who passed the government examination became Juren, and those who passed the palace examination became Jinshi.

The chief examiner of the county examination is the magistrate, the chief examiner of the state examination is the magistrate, the chief examiner of the government examination is the magistrate, and the chief examiner of the palace examination is the emperor.

The unlucky Chen Feng's mansion passed the examination and was promoted to Jinshi in the palace examination, but because of too little money, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Jinghe County.

After becoming a Jinshi, you will get an official position. Those who have not passed the palace examination can still be an official as long as the money is delivered.

There are only three first-class Jinshi who pass the palace examination every year, only dozens of second-class Jinshi, and only one or two hundred third-class Jinshi.

The Great Xia Empire, with its vast territory and large population, needs tens of thousands of public officials every year. How can one or two hundred Jinshi be enough?
