I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Liang Yan didn't care what Zhao Lu's expression was now. He paused for a moment and then continued.

"It was only because I arrived here in time today that I stopped you from committing atrocities against Miss Wen's family. You don't know right from wrong, you are partial to me and you use your power to protect your relatives in my name. You are unworthy of my cultivation! I can't even imagine how many people were wrongly convicted and imprisoned without my knowledge! Zhao Lu, you are unforgivable! No matter what the outcome of Miss Wen's case is, I declare that Zhao Lu will be imprisoned! From now on, the government will never employ you again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several officers standing nearby stepped forward, picked up Zhao Lu, who had completely lost his strength and was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and turned around and left with him.

None of the officers expected the reversal to come so quickly. The high-profile chief detective who was so high and mighty just now was now thrown into jail so easily?

The officers looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to speak, for fear that the fire would burn themselves. After all, no one wanted to get into trouble.

After dealing with Zhao Lu, Liang Yan turned to look at Wen Shutang with a gentle smile on his face, completely different from the serious and scary look he had just had.

He asked, "I wonder if Madam Wen is satisfied with my judgment?"

Wen Shutang looked at Liang Yan and nodded: "Of course, Sir Liang enforces the law impartially and is so impartial to his close subordinates. I believe that the people will trust Sir Liang more in the future."

Wen Shutang said this, but he didn't have much affection for Liang Yan in his heart.

After all, this man is not as impartial as he seems. After all, he is the head of a village who is in charge of all matters big and small in the surrounding area. How could he not know that Zhao Lu is using his name to bully the people and do evil?

The reason why Liang Yan turned a blind eye to what Zhao Lu did was simply because he wanted to get rid of some troubles for himself.

After all, there are so many cases. If Liang Yan really has to try each case personally, how could he not feel tired?

Zhao Lu was just a scapegoat for Liang Yan to cover up his laziness in trying the case, so that one day when Liang Yan's inaction was exposed, he could use Zhao Lu as a shield.

At that time, simply executing Zhao Lu would calm public anger and also give Liang Yanli a good reputation.

So how could Liang Yan not know that Zhao Lu was so arrogant and presumptuous? It was even possible that he did it on purpose. Liang Yan just wanted to be able to rest easy.

Wen Shutang saw through his little thoughts clearly. After all, when she was in the organization, she had seen the method of keeping scapegoats many times.

Which leader in the organization doesn’t have a scapegoat?

Wen Shutang snorted in her heart, but she still took the opportunity to take the step handed to her by Liang Yan. Even if she took a step back, Liang Yan was still a pavilion chief after all, so it was better not to make an enemy of him. Who knows, she might need him in the future.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang naturally took over Liang Yan's words and praised him a few words.

They did help her out to some extent, and she couldn't just let them have the whole show.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wen Shutang said, Liang Yan immediately showed a knowing smile on his face, waved his hand and spoke very gently.

"Don't worry, Madam Wen. I am different from Zhao Lu, who is partial and corrupt and forgets his roots when he has a little power. The people trust me, so I have been able to sit in the position of pavilion chief for so many years. So I will definitely not be as ungrateful as Zhao Lu. Regardless of whether it is Madam Wen today or not, I will redress the grievances of the people!"

Wen Shutang just curled the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything else.

Just give her a little face, it would be bad if you take advantage of the respect she gives you to show off.

Perhaps realizing that Wen Shutang had no intention of flattering him, Liang Yan coughed a few times symbolically, quickly ended the topic, turned to look at Tian Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground and had already been stunned by fear, and asked seriously.

"Who are you?"

Tian Zhi didn't expect that this woman actually had so much face. Not only could she invite the head of the pavilion, but she could also let the head of the pavilion deal with Zhao Lu, who had worked for him for several years, with just one word.

Zhao Lu had suffered such a fate, not to mention that he had once gone to their house to cause trouble. Tian Zhi was secretly shocked and couldn't help but worry about his own situation. Zhao Lu, his biggest supporter, had already been dealt with. His fate would probably be even worse than Zhao Lu's, not lighter than his!

Tian Zhi knelt on the ground with a pale face, thinking about how to respond. When he heard Liang Yan's question, Tian Zhi reacted and quickly lowered his head to answer.

"Your Excellency, I am Tian Zhi from Xiaozhu Village."

"Tian Zhi, tell me, what happened today?" Liang Yan asked with a cold face, in a completely businesslike manner.

Seeing his expression, Tian Zhi became even more frightened, and his teeth were chattering when he spoke.

"Your Excellency, I spent ten taels of silver to buy two horses from Zhou Yong. When I was about to take them home, Zhou Yong came with the officials and accused me of stealing the horses. I am innocent! Please investigate and clear my name!"

After Tian Zhi finished speaking, Liang Yan frowned and turned to look at Zhou Yong.

"Are you Zhou Yong?"

Zhou Yong walked forward, knelt on the ground, and said frankly: "Your Excellency, I am Zhou Yong."

"Why do you say he stole your horse? Do you have any evidence?" Liang Yan continued to ask.

Zhou Yong was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked very calm: "Your Excellency, I am the only one in Xiaozhu Village who has these two horses. In addition, a wealthy businessman came to Xiaozhu Village recently. He lost a piece of jade in the village. I don't know why there are rumors that my horse accidentally swallowed the jade. Many people have evil intentions, and Tian Zhi is one of them. He stole my two horses when I was not at home. When I arrived with the officials, everyone saw Tian Zhi was about to kill the horses with a knife."

After listening to Zhou Yong's explanation, Liang Yan nodded in understanding, then turned to look at Tian Zhi.

"You said you didn't steal the horse, do you have any evidence?"

Tian Zhi gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Liang Yan frowned and asked, "Did you sign a receipt when you bought the horse?"

Tian Zhi shook his head.

"Did you ask someone to notarize when you bought the horse?"

Tian Zhi shook his head.

"If that's the case, then what gives you the right to take someone else's horse away?" Liang Yan shouted angrily.

"How dare you, you rude commoner, deceive me!"
