This is your world

"What do you think...this officer should do?"

At this time, Magistrate Cao looked at the master beside him.

When the master heard this, he suddenly became frightened.

Good guy...

If you push this problem to him, wouldn't it kill him?

At this moment, the master almost stopped cursing in his heart.

Can he answer?

how to answer?

Could it be that... let Mr. Cao enforce the law impartially, kill people to pay for their lives, and pay back their debts?

If he dares to say this, he is guaranteed to die along with him.

After all, he also had a big responsibility in this matter. He helped Cao Yan conceal the news from the county magistrate.

Although Magistrate Cao has not caused trouble for him for the time being, who can be sure that he will not settle the score later?

Therefore, the master was panicked.

No matter what, Cao Yan is the son of Magistrate Cao. This is a family relationship that is thicker than water.

And him?

He's just a little master.

Therefore, the words "enforce the law impartially" should never be uttered.

The master glanced up secretly, and saw Magistrate Cao's cold eyes falling on him.

Looking at the expressionless look on Magistrate Cao's face, the Master's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood.

The County Magistrate...is not asking a multiple-choice question at all.

He had no choice at all.

Master Cao wanted him to find a way to solve this matter.

As long as Master Fan has some brains, he knows that he must come up with a perfect method at this time.

We must be able to perfectly resolve the resentment of the people this time and at the same time protect Cao Yan's safety.

If he can't think of any good solution, he will be finished!

Thinking of this, beads of sweat began to appear on the master's forehead.

Isn't this making things difficult for him?

What solution can he think of at this moment?

It was Cao Yan who caused the incident, and I wanted to keep Cao Yan...

This is simply impossible!

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in the master's mind. He stepped forward cautiously and said, "Sir... I have a way..."

"Although this incident was caused by Mr. Cao, not many people know about it after all... Mr. Cao is still young and it is understandable that he is not sensible. In fact, the death of Chen Xu's mother is not to blame. Mr. Cao. Therefore, we might as well..."

After listening to the master's words, Magistrate Cao's face condensed slightly.

"You mean to suppress this matter?"

The master said: "We only need to compensate Chen Xu with a pension, let him bury his mother properly, let the drug store owners publicly apologize, severely punish those owners, and appease the people, and this matter... will be fine. Mr. Cao is also safe and sound..."

This method is the best way that Master can come up with to solve the problem at present.

The protests from the people outside have not completely stopped, and some people have even begun to target Cao Yan in the past few days.

After all, Cao Yan's reputation in Ping'an County has not been good in recent years. The people can tolerate him basically because of the face of Cao County Magistrate and the people's face of not fighting with the officials.

Once this balance is broken, the situation is completely different.

Cao Yan has committed too many sins over the years. Although he is not deeply hated, he still makes many people hate him.

Especially since the news has spread outside that the person behind these drug store owners is Cao Yan.

The fingerpoint is directed at Cao Yan.

However, after hearing the master's method, Magistrate Cao's face turned cold.

"no!"

Magistrate Cao's face was very ugly: "Isn't this deceiving the people? Such behavior will undoubtedly allow me to abuse my private power... This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Sir, this is the best way..."

The master said cautiously: "Sir, no matter what, Mr. Cao is your biological son... If this matter is really exposed, then Mr. Cao's technology... is over!"

The master's words made Magistrate Cao show a tangled look on his face. He was gloomy and hesitant.

He didn't want to be like this, but...

What the master said is indeed correct.

No matter how dandy Cao Yan is, he is still his son.

Cao Yan's mother died early, and the county magistrate Cao neglected to take care of Cao Yan, causing Cao Yan to become more and more lawless over the years.

Among them, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Because of his guilt towards Cao Yan's mother, he could never be cruel to Cao Yan.

Even if he is indeed fair, has an upright heart, and is unwilling to bend the law.

However, Cao Yan is his only son after all.

Once the truth about this matter spreads, Cao Yan will really be... finished!

Monopolizing drug stores, squeezing people, making money wantonly, and killing people for no reason...

These crimes were enough for him to die ten times.

Could it be...that he really wanted to send his son to death with his own hands?

However, if he were allowed to bend the law for personal gain, he would be sorry for the beliefs he has always believed in his heart.

At present, the rumors are still spreading among the people, and many people are protesting, asking the government to quickly find the murderer, make it known to the public, and bring him to justice.

At this moment, Magistrate Cao was hesitant and fell into some difficult tangle.

At this time, the master on the side seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly frowned slightly.

"Sir, have you noticed...this matter may not be that simple..."

Magistrate Cao looked at Master: "What do you mean?"

The master thought for a while and said: "Sir, have you noticed that something strange seems to have happened this time... Why did the common people suddenly come to surround our Yamen, and why were the common people suddenly so angry about this matter... Of course there is The reason why those drug shop owners have monopolized medicinal materials and have been grudges for a long time..."

"But how could these ordinary people be so emotionally focused on our yamen? Moreover, this does not seem to be a spontaneous behavior of ordinary people at all..."

Hearing what Master said, Magistrate Cao frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?"

"I guess that behind this matter, someone may be deliberately guiding it, or even someone may be secretly instigating this matter..."

Magistrate Cao's face turned cold and his eyes sharpened suddenly: "Who?"

Someone was actually playing this trick under his nose.

"Master Cao, I heard..."

The master recalled some rumors in the city recently and said: "This time we arrested almost all drug store owners who monopolized medicinal materials, but there was only one drug store that was not sealed... That was a newly opened drug store. That drug store did not have Like other pharmacies, they have a monopoly on medicinal materials. So this time, other pharmacies were closed down, except for it..."

"It is precisely because other drug stores were closed down that this drug store suddenly became popular overnight..."

Magistrate Cao looked slightly puzzled and glanced at the master: "This... is there anything strange?"

"Is there anything fishy about the newly opened drug store? Do you mean that this newly opened drug store is the one behind the scenes guiding the people?"

However, Magistrate Cao quickly shook his head.

This is impossible.

Although there may be business competition, if you look at it from other aspects.

This newly opened pharmacy has no reason to do such a thing.

Besides, how could a small drug store owner have such great abilities?

"It is certainly unlikely that a drug store owner would do such a thing, but..."

The master said: "Only the owner of this pharmacy...is different."

"You may know the owner of this pharmacy... Mr. Cao."

At this time, Magistrate Cao was stunned: "Do I know him?"

"Yes, this person's name is Li Beifeng, and he is a villager from Lijia Village in Ping'an County. To be precise, he is a young doctor from Ping'an County..."

Magistrate Cao frowned slightly: "When did I know this person?"

He was not impressed at all.

"You may not be familiar with this person, Mr. Cao, but you should probably know his father. His father's name is Old Man Li... A few years ago, my lord, you once praised this person..."

After being reminded by his master, Magistrate Cao finally remembered something.

A few years ago, he visited the surrounding villages in Ping'an County and heard about a village doctor named Old Man Li, who was respected and loved by the villagers.

He did indeed praise that old man Li, and even promised to reward him at that time. But later when I returned to the Yamen, I was busy with official duties and forgot about it.

"So he is the son of Dr. Li?" Magistrate Cao nodded slightly.

"This Li Beifeng is the son of old man Li..."

When the Yamen police officers went to arrest the drug store owners and sealed the drug store, the master noticed that drug store.

After a little investigation, I quickly found out the identity of the drug store owner.

He is indeed not unfamiliar, even... very familiar.

The reason for familiarity is related to Cao Yan.

"Sir, Li Beifeng is not only Old Man Li's son, he also... was engaged to the eldest lady of the Shen family..."

"Shen family? Which Shen family?"

"Sir, who else is the Shen family in Ping'an County? Naturally, the only one is the famous member Shen in the county..."

At this moment, Magistrate Cao, who had a calm expression on his face, was also stunned, "Executive member Shen... Shen Qingning?"

"Is there an engagement between him and Shen Qingning?!"

The master has naturally heard some of these secrets. Over the years, he has hidden Master Cao's secrets and helped Cao Yan secretly.

In fact, Cao Yan secretly helped Li Beifeng in many of the things he did.

Wait until the master informs Magistrate Cao about the engagement and all the relationships between them.

Magistrate Cao's expression finally changed.

He became solemn.

"Sir... you know. Mr. Cao has always been very fond of Miss Shen, and even threatened not to marry her. Therefore, there is a deep conflict between Mr. Cao and that Li Beifeng... Just not long ago, Mr. Cao The young master also had a conflict with this person, and there were quite a few people present at the time... But this time, things happened so coincidental that one has to doubt..."

Magistrate Cao's face gradually became serious.

He obviously thought of something.

"This time, the people will suddenly make trouble for no reason, and it may be related to this person... I have learned before that although this person has not read any books, his knowledge is not bad, and he is smart... And for some reason, This person's medical skills seem to have improved by leaps and bounds overnight, which is surprising..."

"In this case, it's hard not to suspect that he was the one who hindered it and secretly did something to fuel the flames..."

The master looked at Magistrate Cao and said in a deep voice: "Sir, if you want to quell the public resentment this time, it is best to find out the person behind this time... This person is indeed very disgusting."

I have to say that this master's mind is indeed not bad.

Otherwise, Magistrate Cao would not have kept him by his side for so many years.

Just relying on these clues, he quickly suspected Li Beifeng.

At this time, Magistrate Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and his face was slightly gloomy, making it difficult to see his emotions at this time.

After a long silence, he said coldly.

"Send someone to bring this person back to the Yamen to see me."

"yes."

…

drug store.

backyard.

Li Beifeng sat in the small courtyard, looking quietly at the sky.

The weather is nice and it’s a rare free time.

These days, the drug store's business is getting better and better, and it seems that it is almost sold out.

The clerk is very busy in the store, but he is getting more and more motivated.

Instead, Li Beifeng was idle and had nothing to do.

"It should be... almost done, right?"

Li Beifeng calculated the time in his mind, and it should be almost time.

Just as Li Beifeng finished reciting this sentence, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Boss, boss..."

A waiter hurriedly ran into the backyard and said anxiously: "Boss, the Yamen servant is here and looking for you..."

The guy had a worried look on his face.

Most of the pharmacies in Ping'an County have been closed down these days, and he naturally knows this news.

The police from the Yamen came to visit today. Is it possible that even their drug store has to be closed down?

"Don't worry, they are not coming for our pharmacy!"

On the contrary, Li Beifeng stood up calmly and said: "I have to go to the Yamen... take good care of the pharmacy. I will be back soon."

After speaking, Li Beifeng came to the medicine shop.

At this time, there were already two detectives wearing detective uniforms in the drug store.

When the two saw Li Beifeng, they immediately said, "Li Beifeng, the county magistrate wants to see you, please come back to the Yamen with us."

"The two eldest brothers in the cell, please lead the way."

Li Beifeng said.

The two detectives were slightly startled when they saw Li Beifeng being so calm.

They have arrested so many drug store owners in the past few days. When those bosses who are usually arrogant and arrogant see them, they all tremble and feel uneasy, as if the end is coming.

Only the drug store owner in front of him was the youngest, but also the calmest, without a trace of fear.

This actually made the two detectives look a little more respectful.

This person is not simple.

"Let's go."

Soon, the two detectives took Li Beifeng away.

The remaining two guys in the drugstore look at me and I look at you.

"What's wrong?"

"how could I know?"

"The boss has been arrested, what should we do now? Run away?"

"Let's be honest, the boss treats us so well on weekdays. If we run away now, are we worthy of the boss?"

"Then...what should we do?"

"Looking for help... Do you remember the lady who always came to our boss before? I could tell at a glance that she had a good background and was designated as a lady from a wealthy family. Let's go find her to help save the boss."

When the other guy heard this, he immediately felt it made sense.

At this time, the boss was caught. As employees, they had the obligation to save the boss.

However, when the two of them hurriedly planned to go out and seek help.

Soon, the two stopped again.

They looked at each other.

"Um, do you know where that lady... lives?"

"..."
