The best county magistrate

"Sir Yan, the matter starts with Wang Mang from the Copper Coin Gang..."

While guiding Yan Chenghai, Yang Xuanchen made a report to him on the Qian Youde and Wang Mang cases, and also told him the suspicions of several people.

When everyone sat down in the back hall, Yan Chenghai already understood the whole thing very clearly.

"This is unreasonable! These two people deserve to be killed!"

"Let it go and do it, remember! Behind you is His Majesty and thousands of people. We are all your backers!"

"Whoever dares to go beyond the law and commit adultery will not be spared lightly by this officer!"

Yan Chenghai slapped the table and said angrily. He wanted to take out the guillotine and knock the two people in the cell away.

"However, if this Qian Youde is really related to the bandits in the west, we have to guard against it."

Yang Xuanchen was stunned. Hearing Yan Chenghai's tone, it seemed that the bandits in Qingzhou were quite powerful.

"Master Yan, are these bandits very powerful?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

Yan Chenghai nodded and said helplessly: "It's hard to say how powerful it is. It's just that I sent troops to suppress it a few times, but it didn't have much effect."

"Those bandits can only hide here and there, they are just a bunch of rats!"

After listening to his words, Yang Xuanchen still could not let go of his worries about the bandits.

However, Yan Chenghai and his troops had arrived, and he was more confident in judging the case. Yang Xuanchen wanted to cut through the mess with a quick move.

"Sir Yan, I originally planned to submit the death penalty documents to you after sentencing them tomorrow, but since you are here, why not come to the trial tomorrow and directly..."

Yan Chenghai laughed loudly, patted Yang Xuanchen on the shoulder and said, "This is Qingshui County. It's your place. It's better for you to do the trial. I can just listen in the second hall."

"If the evidence is really conclusive, I will definitely support you and sentence him to death!"

Zhang Biao got so excited when he heard this that he even forgot to say hello and rubbed his hands together to leave.

"Zhang Biao, what are you going to do? Why don't you sit down!" Yang Xuanchen shouted.

Zhang Biao was startled and stood on the spot, scratching his head in embarrassment, "Didn't you say beheading? I'm going to sharpen that dog-headed guillotine..."

Yang Xuanchen lowered his hands weakly and smiled, his forehead covered with black lines.

You idiot, your immediate boss is having a meeting, why are you going to grind?

Aren't you going to wait until no one is around to sharpen the guillotine again?

On the other hand, Yan Chenghai laughed heartily, waved his hand and said, "Zhang Dianshi, go ahead, I don't have that many rules here."

"Okay! Sir, you guys are chatting, little one, come as soon as you go!" Zhang Biao roared, feeling full of energy.

Yang Xuanchen bowed his head and felt a little uneasy, "Sir Yan, I have just come to Qingshui County not long ago and I am not good at disciplining my subordinates. Please forgive me."

"Zhang Dianshi is also a sweetheart, so it doesn't matter."

Wei Junzhi looked at the sky, stood up and saluted: "Sir, Master Yan, it's getting late, why not go to Youpeng Pavilion and have lunch first."

"Yes, yes, Lao Wei reminded me, Master Yan, please!"

Yan Chenghai smiled slightly and nodded, and then everyone went to Youpeng Pavilion.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the relationship between these people has become much closer.

"Xiao Wei, how come you came to Qingshui County from the capital to become a master?" Yan Chenghai still asked the question in his heart.

Wei Junzhi drank a glass of wine and chuckled, "It's a long story..."

Yan Chenghai had a look of confusion on his face, "Oh?"

Then Wei Junzhi told what he had seen and heard in the past few days and his views on Yang Xuanchen.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the dignified Wei Jieyuan would change like this."

Yang Xuanchen hummed, "Old Wei, are you still Jieyuan? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

Wei Junzhi shook his head, "Haha, don't mention the past anymore, just know that I am your master now."

Yang Xuanchen was stunned. Wei Junzhi was also a person with stories. He stopped asking any more questions and poured a glass for Wei Junzhi, "Old Wei, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

"Singing to wine, how much life is like! Just like the morning dew, there will be more bitterness in the days to come..."

When Yan Chenghai heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's good. Let's sing to each other over wine. What's life like? Let's drink together."

"Master, where is the wine you brewed a few days ago? Why don't you use it to entertain Master Yan?"

Ever since Zhang Biao drank the wine made by Yang Xuanchen, he felt that the ordinary wine was tasteless.

Yang Xuanchen touched his nose awkwardly, "Brother Biao, go ask Miss Zhou to bring some jars of wine."

After the wine they had been waiting for arrived, Zhang Biao opened the seal, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly filled the private room of Youpeng Pavilion.

"You'll know it's a good wine when you smell it!" Yan Chenghai praised.

After everyone had a drink together, the people in Qingshui County Government were fine, but Yan Chenghai and his party all had their eyes widened.

"This...this wine?"

Yang Xuanchen stood up and introduced the brewing process to everyone, which immediately caused everyone to make a noise.

"This wine is much better than Jiangzhou's Qingquan wine. I wonder what the name of this wine is?" Yan Chenghai asked.

"This wine has just been brewed and has not been named yet. How about giving it a name, Sir?" Zhou Miaomiao, who was standing aside, suggested.

Yan Chenghai thought for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and drank another glass, "Although this wine is strong, it is not harsh on the throat. The fruity aroma is overflowing and warm and long-lasting, like the sweet and delicious dew in the morning."

"This drink is suitable for all ages, but it is more suitable for women. I wonder if the word morning dew should be used?"

Yang Xuanchen complimented: "Good! Your words are very good!"

"In a few days, a wine more suitable for men will be released. Sir Yan, why don't you stay a few more days and give us a name after everyone has a cup of tea?"

"Haha, I also want to stay a few more days, but there are a lot of things going on in Qingzhou, I'm afraid..." Yan Chenghai said with a hint of pity in his tone.

"That's okay. After the wine is served, the official will send someone to deliver some jars to Linjiang City."

Yan Chenghai laughed loudly and drank a few more drinks in a happy mood.

During the banquet, everyone discussed the cases of Qian Youde and Wang Mang again.

Regarding some of Yang Xuanchen's worries, Yan Chenghai even made a promise.

"It doesn't matter who comes, whatever the verdict is, as long as the witnesses and physical evidence are enough to convict, and it's a violation of the Great Yan Law, it's useless for anyone to come!"

"You don't have to worry about the rest. Qingzhou is a place where the king's laws are respected. As long as I am still breathing, no one dares to cross it!"

Yang Xuanchen and Wei Junzhi looked at each other, and both of them saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

Now that Yan Chenghai is close at hand, he will be able to solve the case with ease tomorrow.

Between cups and cups, the relationship between the few people got closer.

Everyone drank and ate happily throughout the luncheon, but Yan Chenghai stopped them after just one jar of morning dew wine.

After all, there are more important things to do in the afternoon.
