The county magistrates knew the identities of Xiao Yunheng and Lu Xiyue. Before they were exiled, they were the top honorable figures in the capital, and the people who knew them had their identities.

After weighing left and right, the magistrate made a decision in his mind.

He handed the bank note to Xu Guancha: "Go and find out who was the last person to take the bank note."

After receiving the bank note, Xu Guancha received the errand and left quickly.

The county magistrate pointed at Wang Cui with cold eyes: "Wang Cui, I'm giving you one last chance. Who gave you this money?"

When Wang Cui heard this, her heart hung in her throat.

After hesitating for a moment, she bent down and kowtowed, gritted her teeth and said, "This money is given to the women by the shopkeeper."

Feng Shi stared at her, his pale face was aroused with appalling hatred.

The county magistrate was breathing heavily, staring at Wang Cui's head, and sneered: "I really don't cry when I see the coffin."

Wang Cui's heart sank, not understanding what the county magistrate meant.

Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng stood together, looking at the situation in front of them, they already understood the general idea.

This dim sum chef named Wang Cui was most likely sent by Ji Jia Dalang to Feng's side. Poor Feng still doesn't know that Ji Jia Da Lang planned to suppress him, and even thought of the person who will stand in the way.

I have to say that this operation is really powerful, even Lu Xiyue has to admire it.

The bank was not far from the county government office, only a few hundred meters away. Xu Guancha didn't leave for too long, and returned with the bank withdrawal certificate he got from the bank.

The county magistrate looked at the signature on it and crumpled the paper.

Naturally, Lu Xiyue also saw the name on it, and no surprises, it really was Ji Jia Dalang.

"Bring me the man."

With so many people present, and this noble son whose name and identity are unknown next to him, the county magistrate had to weigh it even if he wanted to cover up Mr. Ji's family.

Xu Guancha knew who the county magistrate was talking about, and he thought that he was really working hard, and his legs were about to break every day.

He led a group of people to Ji's house.

When the officials came in aggressively, the Ji family was shocked.

Ji Jia Dalang was quite calm, facing Xu Guancha, he asked calmly, "I wonder if Mr. Xu can reveal a thing or two."

As he said that, a heavy ingot of silver fell into the hands of Xu Guancha.

Xu Guancha silently put the silver into his bosom, and his attitude eased: "The dim sum master of Qingpinfang was arrested for stealing the recipe of Qipin Xiangzhai. Mr. Ji came here this time because of the 200 taels of silver note in the hands of the dim sum master. .”

What he said was not detailed, but a few words were the key points.

Ji Jia Dalang's calm expression just now turned cold when he heard these words.

Careless, he even forgot that there is a ticket number on the banknote, so he can find out who took the banknote.

But in the blink of an eye, he returned to his calm appearance just now.

He pays so much silver to the county magistrate every year in the name of paying taxes, so what if it is found out that it is him, it is just a matter of paying some silver.

Furthermore, he still has a useless plan.

Thinking of this, he straightened his back and comforted the worried old lady: "Mother, don't worry, I will go back as soon as I go."

The old lady knew that he would play tricks in business, and when she heard about Qingpinfang, she felt bad.

She stepped forward to grab Dalang Ji's hand, with tears rolling in her eyes: "Dalang, you have to come back properly."

"I'll be fine, don't worry." Ji Jia Dalang patted her hand, his eyes signaled Niu Mama to help her.

After all, he followed Xu Guancha to the county government office.

As soon as he saw Lu Xiyue, the relaxed expression in his eyes showed signs of breaking.

This little bitch is actually here too!

He squinted his eyes, and suddenly understood why the county magistrate, who had always been lenient to the Ji family, called him over because of such a trivial matter. It seemed that this little bitch was acting as a hindrance.

He saluted the county magistrate, glanced at Wang Cui, and finally fell on Feng Shi.

"Cousin, what's going on?"

Seeing other people coming, Mrs. Feng seemed to see a life-saving straw, pointing to Wang Cui and complaining: "Cousin, she sued me."

Wang Cui raised her head, her eyes collided with Ji Jia Dalang's, and then she lowered her eyes in an instant.

Ji Jia Dalang was in a state of confusion, and after hearing what Feng said about the situation, he showed indignation.

"Master County Magistrate, my Ji family has absolutely nothing to do with this matter."

The county magistrate coughed lightly and said, "Since that's the case, how do you explain the bank note?"

"I gave this bank note to my cousin." Ji Jia Dalang said innocently.

"Cousin!" Feng suddenly raised his head, looking at the handsome young man in disbelief.

For a moment, she thought she had heard wrong.

Ji Jiadalang frowned and looked at her: "Cousin, have you forgotten that when you came to join me, mother asked me to give you some money, and then you said you wanted to stay in Qiong County, so I left Let you take care of the dim sum shop."

"I never..."

"Cousin probably forgot about it because she was too busy." He lowered his head, and a trace of warning flashed across his seemingly concerned eyes: "You brought your little nephew to stay at my house for one night, and my mother even bought you Got some outfits."

Feng's heart trembled when she heard the meaning behind his words, and the last trace of luck disappeared completely.

He threatened himself with his son!

Ji Jia Dalang raised his eyelids, assuming he was in control.

Lu Xiyue pursed her lips, feeling a chill in her heart.

Feng shi lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly.

Her son was only two years old, she was busy with the business of the shop all day and couldn't take care of him, so she temporarily put him in Ji's house.

But he didn't expect that the unintentional act at the beginning has now become a reason for him to threaten himself.

If she denied it today, she didn't dare to think about what would happen to her son.

For a long time, she closed her eyes.

"...Yes, my cousin is right."

Hearing her words, everyone was shocked.

The county magistrate seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said, "So, you gave Wang Cui the money, and you ordered Wang Cui to do it?"

Feng gritted his teeth and nodded.

In the courtroom, several surprised eyes looked at Feng Shi, but they didn't expect that it was her after the interrogation.

Ji Jia Dalang opened his eyes wide in cooperation: "Cousin, did you do it?"

Feng raised her face, her tearful eyes were filled with hatred.

Ji Jia Dalang's face was full of disappointment: "I really didn't expect you to do this for business. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. How could you come up with such a dirty trick?"

Feng Shi sneered, as if he had seen the face of this cousin clearly.

"I'm afraid that I'll disappoint you and the old lady's kindness to me, so, that's why I came up with this method."

"You, you really let me down." Ji Jia Dalang sighed, turned his head to the county magistrate and said: "Master County Magistrate, my cousin is also forced to do so, please rely on her as a poor person Son, be merciful."

The county magistrate was a little embarrassed: "I can't take charge of this matter, Mr. Ji, you should discuss it with Mrs. Lu."

All eyes focused on Lu Xiyue.

Ji Jia Dalang spoke first: "Ms. Lu, my cousin is the one who is sorry for you. She is not sensible. I will apologize for you on her behalf."
