The best county magistrate

Yang Xuanchen left the side room with his hands behind his back and sat at the table with Wei Junzhi and Chen Song.

Seeing that he was silent and solemn, the two of them became more and more curious about the conversation between Yang Xuanchen and Wu Xiulian.

Not long after, the door to the side room opened, and Wu Xiulian walked slowly to the three of them and knelt down in front of them.

"Second brother, I feel sorry for the Chen family, and I am not worthy of being your sister-in-law. But...as long as I am still alive, I will definitely seek justice for your eldest brother."

Wu Xiulian turned around and kowtowed to Yang Xuanchen, "Sir Yang, I have thought about it, please excuse me."

Yang Xuanchen said hello loudly, and then ordered Wei Junzhi to lead Wu Xiulian to the back hall to record a confession.

"Master Yang, what's wrong with Wu Xiulian?" Chen Song asked with some confusion.

Yang Xuanchen patted his shoulder and said seriously: "This is her life, and it is also the life of your Chen family."

So he told Chen Song the conversation he had just had with Wu Xiulian in the side room.

As Yang Xuanchen narrated, Chen Song's expression kept changing, from surprise at the beginning to anger later, and then helplessness at the end.

Chen Song stood up and knelt heavily on the ground, his eyes filled with tears.

"Master Yang, please accept the courtesy of the common people."

"Caomin doesn't read much, but he still understands the principles of life. Thank you for reminding my sister-in-law."

"If my sister-in-law is guilty, please punish me, Chen Song, as well. My brother's only flesh and blood is in my sister-in-law's belly. There must be no mistakes."

Yang Xuanchen helped Chen Song up and said softly: "According to the law, Wu Xiulian committed adultery, but I think she was forced by someone, and now she has found her way back."

"In addition, she is still pregnant, so I will consider it carefully."

"Wang Mang's case involves too much. Before the case is officially finalized, you two will stay in the Yamen to avoid any accidents."

After separating from Chen Song, Yang Xuanchen rubbed his swollen head and returned to the bedroom, with all the events of the past few days rolling through his mind.

Now that things have happened, both the witnesses and the physical evidence are there. Not only will Wang Mang be convicted tomorrow morning, but he will also be able to seize Qian Youde.

Even if the backers behind them are high-ranking officials in the capital, their heads will already be on the ground by then.

Yang Xuanchen didn't believe that the dignified Minister of Rites would still trouble him for two dead people.

At three o'clock on the next day, Yang Xuanchen, dressed in official robes, came to the county government hall under Xiao Lian's service.

The hall was already crowded with people from Qingshui County, and the noisy voice temporarily drowned out Zhang Biao's loud voice.

Yang Xuanchen walked closer to the crowd, pressed his hands slightly, and stopped the people's discussion.

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks of Qingshui County, I am the newly appointed magistrate of Qingshui County, Yang Xuanchen."

"I believe everyone knows what I am going to do today. Please don't make any noise when I am reviewing the case later."

"If you hinder this officer from judging the case, I will use this water and fire stick to teach you how to behave!"

The common people did not expect that the young county magistrate who looked like Brother Rabbit in front of them had such a bad temper, and the voices of those with loud voices suddenly became much softer.

"This County Magistrate Rabbit is a badass. Looking at him looking like he needs a beating, can he solve the case successfully?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful when Brother Biao carries you in and hits a few boards first."

"Master Rabbit, you are so handsome. Are you married? I don't care if you are Brother Rabbit!"

Hearing the people shouting "Brother Rabbit" from left to right and "Brother Rabbit" from right, Yang Xuanchen's head was covered with black lines. He grabbed a water and fire stick from the hand of the government servant beside him and rushed towards the crowd.

The people were startled and took a few steps back in panic.

"Who! Who is it? Grandma's bear, if anyone calls me Brother Rabbit again, I will kill you!"

Yang Xuanchen rushed to a pretty girl and smashed the water and fire stick on the ground, "Sister, did you just say that you wanted to marry me?"

The girl shook her head like a rattle, "No...it's not me."

Seeing that the girl refused to admit it, Yang Xuanchen threw the water and fire stick back to the yamen servant, turned around and returned to the hall, leaving behind a sentence that shocked everyone.

"You wasted my feelings and thought you were going to marry me!"

The people were silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter. The county magistrate was so stupid.

This joke was all seen by Fang Huajing, who was hiding in the crowd. He smiled contemptuously and opened the folding fan in his hand. Today, the matter is settled.

Wei Junzhi wiped the sweat off his head and followed Yang Xuanchen to remind him: "Master, let's be careful. You are the county magistrate, not the clown on the stage."

Yang Xuanchen said disapprovingly: "Old Wei, life is like a play, and play is like life. Do you think I want to play tricks? I'm not just acting for those who are interested."

"Today's enemy is hiding. We don't know what the opponent's strength is, so we can only adapt accordingly."

"My trick is to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. If those little guys jump out, I'll take care of them all."

"Don't look back, follow me! It's almost time to go to court."

Wei Junzhi turned his head halfway and turned back abruptly. He followed Yang Xuanchen and stared at his back, feeling admiration in his heart.

On the first day he took office, he framed Wang Mang and captured him, and then used another excuse to make the people of Qingshui County share the same hatred.

Not afraid of power, calm-minded, a little confused, but the things he does are extremely beautiful.

"Master, did you see that the other party was coming for reinforcements?" Wei Junzhi asked in a low voice.

Yang Xuanchen said firmly without looking back: "It's only three days. At most, we can bring some people from Linjiang City in Qingzhou Prefecture. No matter how strong we are, they won't be much stronger."

After the words fell, people sat down.

"Ascension!"

The government officials in the hall shouted "mighty" in unison.

Yang Xuanchen clapped the gavel and said, "Here, bring the suspect Wang Mang to the court."

Not long after, Wang Mang knelt on the stone in the center of the palace, dragging his heavy handcuffs and leg irons. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes showed disdain, and his expression was unruly.

The people looked at Wang Mang, who seemed to have gained a little weight, and started talking again.

"Everyone, take a look, is Wang Mang a little fatter than he was a few days ago?"

"I'll blanch it. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed."

"It can't be that the county magistrate hasn't tortured him severely since he caught him. You see, he doesn't even have any injuries on his body."

Yang Xuanchen patted the gavel tree again and shouted loudly: "Quiet!"

Zhang Biao glanced at the crowd with bull's eyes, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Wang Mang, do you know your guilt?"

Wang Mang snorted coldly: "Bah, you dog official!"

Yang Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and put a smile on his face. I finally caught this bitch and tortured her.

He took three red sticks from the public case and threw them on the ground. "In the courtroom, the suspect despised and insulted the officer. Let's hit him thirty times first!"

Wow, the people were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone who just asked a question and then decided. This case was decided in no order.

The government officials in the hall held Wang Mang down with water and fire sticks and were about to use the sticks.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the hall, "Wait a minute, the right and wrong haven't been decided yet, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to use torture."

Fang Huajing walked out of the crowd waving her folding fan, her tone full of regret, as if Yang Xuanchen had made a big mistake.

Then, he put away the folding fan, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Sir, Great Flame Law Order..."

Bang bang bang, several dull sounds sounded in the courtroom, and five more red lottery tickets appeared on the ground.

Yang Xuanchen pointed at Fang Huajing and said calmly: "Come here, capture this fan-wielding Daomao, and give me fifty big blows first!"
