The Golden County Magistrate

"Wait, isn't it two cents per person?"

"Who said that? It's always been one or two taels of silver per person!"

"I just saw you take two cents from the guy who came in first!"

"You saw it wrong. Okay! Stop talking nonsense. If you want to come in, pay the money, or get out!"

Zhang Dabiao was furious and pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist.

These guys are obviously trying to squeeze them!

"What? The magistrate of Qingshan County is so poor that he can't even pay this little money? You want to commit a crime, right? Come on, chop your brother's neck!"

The thin man sneered and stretched his neck to get closer to him.

The other three laughed and looked sarcastic. They obviously expected that Zhang Dabiao would not dare to use the knife.

Zhang Dabiao's eyes were blazing with fire. He held the hilt tightly but did not pull it out.

He was fierce and reckless, but there was one thing, that was obedience.

If Chen Yan didn't let him do it, he would never do it.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Chen Yan leaned out from inside and said calmly: "Biaozi, people are begging you to chop him off. This request, I will fulfill it!"

As soon as the words came out, the four city gate guards were stunned.

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed: "Yes!"

Cang!

The steel knife was instantly unsheathed, and a cold blade light was drawn in the air!

The thin man felt a chill on his neck, stepped back in horror, and sat down on the ground.

Then he realized that he was soaked in cold sweat!

He raised his hand tremblingly and wiped his neck, and his eyes suddenly went black, and he fell to the ground softly.

Hands full of blood!

I never thought that the other party would dare to chop!

"How dare you guys blackmail me for money!"

In the carriage, Chen Yan said coldly.

In his heart, he secretly praised that Biaozi was getting better and better at reading people's eyes.

Although he asked Zhang Dabiao to satisfy the other party, he actually just wanted to scare him. After all, the other party was an official, not a bandit. How could he be killed at will?

Although Zhang Dabiao's knife cut the thin man's neck, it was only a superficial wound. Fortunately, he was a martial arts expert, otherwise the opponent's head would have been broken if the force was slightly off.

But the thin man didn't know. When he saw the blood all over his neck, he thought he was really killed and fainted on the spot.

"Oh my God!"

"Murder! Brothers, come quickly!"

"What a courage, dare to kill officials in broad daylight, these people must be rebels!"

"Catch them!"

The other three city gate guards were also scared, and hurriedly drew their swords and guns, shouting at Zhang Dabiao to bluff, but they didn't dare to kill him.

"Get on the horse!"

"Enter the city!"

"If anyone dares to stop us, we will kill them without mercy!"

Chen Yan gave an order and shook the reins himself, and the carriage went straight to the city gate.

Zhang Dabiao jumped on the carriage with a knife in hand.

The ten soldiers of the Nafu Camp behind him also hurriedly followed.

The three city gate guards looked bleak and did not dare to stop them. They quickly stepped aside and watched them enter the city.

"Quick! Report to the county magistrate and Mr. Wu that bandits have entered the city!"

A city gate guard reacted first and screamed.

Lianggu County is not large, not even half the size of Qingshan County.

After a while, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the county government along the avenue. Chen Yan jumped off the carriage, leaving two people to guard the horses and the carriage, and led the rest of the people into the lobby of the county government.

"Who dares to trespass into the county government? If you want to seek justice, go outside and beat the drum!"

There were two yamen runners inside, sitting there eating melon seeds and chatting, when they suddenly saw someone breaking in, they quickly stood up and shouted.

"Tell Xiong Jin to hand the man over to me!"

Chen Yan said with a sullen face.

"Who are you? How dare you call my master by his name!"

Although a yamen runner saw that the situation was not right, he took the courage to shout because this was his base camp.

Bang!

Zhang Dabiao slapped him to the ground and cursed: "How can you talk to my master? If I tell you to go and shout, you should go and shout. If you are late, I will break your legs!"

The other yamen runner's face turned blue, and he quickly helped his companion up and ran to the back hall in a panic.

The sun really rose from the west!

Master Xiong has been in Lianggu County for more than 20 years. If you want to say who is the most domineering and arrogant in this place, it must be him!

The two have been working in the government office for nearly ten years, and have never seen anyone dare to go to the county government office to make trouble!

But today, someone not only broke into the government office, but also beat people up. It's simply outrageous!

I must report to the lord and ask him to help me get back this!

In the county government office, Chen Yan looked around and curled his lips.

All the way from the outside of the city to the city, Lianggu County is actually quite shabby.

But only this county government office is built majestically and magnificently, and it is quite imposing.

"Sir, please sit here."

Zhang Dabiao went over and lifted up the county government chair above, wiped it clean with his sleeve.

Chen Yan was not polite and sat down.

After a while, an angry voice came: "Who is so bold that he dares to make trouble in my yamen!"

With the voice, a middle-aged fat man in official uniform came out from the back, followed by more than 30 yamen runners, all of whom were ferocious.

As soon as he got outside, the fat man was stunned to see Chen Yan sitting on his chair.

Then, he became furious and pointed at Chen Yan and screamed: "Who are you? How can you sit on my official chair!"

Chen Yan was about to speak, but suddenly his eyes turned cold.

In his left hand, the fat man held a silk scarf with the word "Yan" embroidered on it!

This is Zheng Yan's thing!

And it was embroidered by Lu Qing'er herself and given to her!

Now, there was no need to ask. Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiong, I am Chen Yan, the magistrate of Qingshan County. Do you want to hand over the person to me yourself, or do you want me to go in and find him myself?"

The fat man was Xiong Jin, the magistrate of Lianggu County. He was stunned when he heard this and looked Chen Yan up and down.

Although the two counties were neighbors, they had never met. Chen Yan was too lazy to go out, and Xiong Jin was even less likely to go to that legendary poor place.

After a while, the fat on Xiong Jin's face trembled and his face darkened.

"Are you really County Magistrate Chen? You've come just in time! County Magistrate Chen, your head constable committed a crime in Lianggu County. How do you explain it?"

When these words came out, Chen Yan, Zhang Dabiao and others were all stunned.

Committed a crime?

"Who was injured?" Chen Yan asked back.

"What? Could it be that because the injured person is different, she can disregard the law and commit murder at will?"

"Chen Yan, Chen Yan, I finally understand why you, the head constable, are so cruel and brutal."

"With a county magistrate like you who can't distinguish right from wrong and bend the law for personal gain, there are naturally cruel people like her!"

Xiong Jin pointed at Chen Yan angrily and cursed.

Chen Yan was happy instead.

He didn't even say anything about the situation when he came up, but he put a hat on him first. This guy is really good at slandering people!

He knew Zheng Yan's character very well, and it was impossible for him to be associated with the word "cruel".

This Xiong Jin was clearly trying to turn the tables and bite back first, so that he couldn't bring himself to mention anyone!

"Sir, these guys injured me as soon as they came. They are definitely not good people. Arrest them!"

The yamen runner who was slapped covered his swollen face and shouted angrily.

"What are you still standing there for? Arrest him!"

Xiong Jin had already thought of this, and with a shout, all the yamen runners behind him rushed forward.
