After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

The county magistrate paused, his eyes sharp, and soon returned to normal.

"It's Guan Hong. I was wondering if I didn't see you this morning. What were you doing?"

Guan Hong had no guilty conscience. "Yesterday, I received a report that Su Xiucai's sister was abducted. After checking, I found that she was taken away by the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou."

"Following the clues given by others, we found her in a mansion in the south of the county, and based on her description, we found the two girls who had just been killed."

“I then returned to the house to check and found the tools used in the crime.”

The officers and soldiers behind him took out the tools used in the crime, including whips, branding irons, and bracelets, all of which were stained with blood, and even some cloth from the two girls' clothes.

The two mothers nearly went crazy when they saw those tools. They didn’t expect that the two men had been through so much.

When Manager Wang saw those tools, he knew it was all over. Unless he handed Young Master Jiang over, there would be no good ending.

County Magistrate Jiang was very angry: "Manager Wang, what else do you have to say? When you did this, did you ever think about your wife, children, and parents? They are waiting for you at home."

His words were an obvious threat, and the words that Shopkeeper Wang was about to blurt out were swallowed back in his throat.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and buried his head in the ground: "I deserve to die!"

The county magistrate was very satisfied with his performance. As long as he admitted it, it would not affect Feng'er.

"Okay, you guys go down first. This matter has serious consequences. I need to consult my superiors and then make it public."

The county magistrate looked at Guan Hong deeply and strode away.

"Retire!"

The two families took their daughter away sadly. Shopkeeper Wang quickly admitted his mistakes and no witnesses were needed. The people surrounding the court also left with sighs.

Su Yi took a leave today, so he would naturally go back with him.

As soon as he entered the room, Liu Huan hurriedly asked him: "That Mr. Jiang is the culprit, why did you stop me from reporting him?"

Just when Liu Huan was about to speak, he was stopped by Su Yi.

"There is no rush for this matter. I will catch them all in one fell swoop after I find evidence against the county magistrate. This shopkeeper Wang is just used to make the Jiang family relax their vigilance."

At the Jiang family mansion, the county magistrate went straight to Jiang Feng's yard as soon as he entered the door.

At this moment, Jiang Feng was sleeping on the bed, his body and face were covered with wounds, and Mrs. Jiang was applying medicine on him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, it hurts, Mom."

Madam Jiang Er felt even more distressed: "Who is that bastard who dared to do this to you? I will make sure she dies miserably."

When County Magistrate Jiang heard this, his brows furrowed even more. When Mrs. Jiang Er saw the person coming, she walked up to the county magistrate and cried, "Brother, you have to do something for Feng'er. Look at how badly he's been beaten."

County Magistrate Jiang snorted, "A loving mother often spoils her son. You have nothing to do with him doing such a thing. You get out first."

Mrs. Jiang was very afraid of her uncle and had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Jiang Feng felt very guilty and didn't even dare to look at County Magistrate Jiang.

County Magistrate Jiang was furious. "Didn't I tell you not to act recklessly and to be careful? But you dared to touch even Su Xiucai's sister. I think you are lawless."

Jiang Feng himself felt wronged, "Uncle, this matter cannot be blamed on me. If you want to blame someone, blame that shopkeeper Wang. He didn't explain clearly, causing me to be injured so badly by that damn girl."

"Be more restrained in the future. Let's leave it at that for now. Since Shopkeeper Wang won't remind you, let him take the blame for you. Don't cause any more trouble. Do you understand me?"

Jiang Feng was still unconvinced: "Uncle, are you just going to let my injuries go?"

County Magistrate Jiang looked contemptuous, "Never mind, I will stand up for you. Now is not a good time."

After saying this in a hurry, he rushed back to the county magistrate's residence to deal with the aftermath.

A few days later, the result of the case came out. Manager Wang was sentenced to twenty years in prison for killing the girl and was ordered to pay twenty taels of silver to each family.

Except for the mother of one of the girls who were brutally murdered, everyone else in the family had no objection and were even happy about it.

Especially men: "So much silver, if it is sold for only ten taels of silver."

"I'm warning you, don't make a scene. If she hadn't disobeyed and run away, this wouldn't have happened."

The woman was so sad that she fainted.

The other one is completely the opposite. They don’t want money, they just want Manager Wang to die.

However, Jiang Feng still wanted to protect him. It was rare to have such an obedient dog slave.

"Uncle, since they want to make trouble, then tell everyone that it is those two women who are not disciplined and are crazy about money. Otherwise, who would like children?"

As soon as this rumor came out, the people who originally stood on the girl's side began to hesitate. In addition, Jiang Feng bribed people to fan the flames, so they naturally felt that the girl deserved it.

Guan Chang was eating a skewer with anger on his face. "This county magistrate is simply not a human being. The person is dead, but he still slanders him like this."

Liu Huan was in no mood to eat. He was so angry that he was full.

Seeing the two men's expressions, Su Yi said, "Don't worry, retribution will come in a few days."

Sure enough, the girl’s parents filed a complaint with the provincial government.

The prefect was a newly appointed imperial commissioner, who was sent down specifically to investigate corrupt officials. And now, County Magistrate Jiang had walked into the crossfire.

"You mean to say that your daughter was murdered and the county magistrate handled the matter improperly?"

"Yes, sir. I have inquired about it. Manager Wang is a servant of the nephew of County Magistrate Jiang. I think that Mr. Jiang is also related to this matter."

These words were taught to him by a man in black when he came here, who also wrote a complaint for him.

The prefect was a famous censor in the capital, upright and incorruptible. When he saw the crimes, he wanted to cut those people into pieces.

"Let's go to Qingyang County first."

When County Magistrate Jiang heard that the prefect was coming, he was still hanging out with women and almost suffocated.

He put on his pants in a hurry and went to the yamen, and even his hat was crooked.

"Meet the adults"

The prefect said: "I heard that you take human life lightly. Is that true?"

Magistrate Jiang cursed those beggars inwardly and quickly denied it, "Sir, I am innocent."

"Whether it is a false accusation or not, I will make the final decision. Come, gather all the victims of this murder case."

The previous verdict was not valid, so the prefect personally interrogated the case and summoned Liu Huan for questioning. Everyone was dismissed in the evening.

County Magistrate Jiang stood by with a flattering look on his face, "Sir, I have prepared a small banquet, please come."

The prefect waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go out for a walk."

He just looked down on the banquet prepared by County Magistrate Jiang and refused to accept the bribe.

The servant beside him stepped forward and said, "Sir, I heard that Chunhui Tower in Qingyang County is very famous. How about you go and take a look?"

He knew that his master loved delicious food and must try the local specialties wherever he went, so he had already made inquiries.

"Well, let's go!" Although he had no expectations for the food in this county, it was because he had been here before.

When Chunhui was busy, Xiaodong saw that the person coming had an extraordinary temperament and did not dare to delay, so he hurried forward.

"Hello, guests. There is no room left. Please wait a little longer."

The people around the prefect wanted to scold them, but the prefect stopped them, "It's okay, we'll just wait."

Seeing so many people inside, he wanted to see how delicious it was, and it smelled good.
