Sun Mansion.
Magistrate Sun Yuan was sitting at the top, with a cup of steaming tea next to him. The room was silent. He frowned slightly, feeling a little worried in his heart.
The people he sent have not come back until now. It is impossible to say that something happened.
Thinking of this, he felt even more uneasy and resentful towards Zhang Hefeng. If he hadn't insisted on submitting the complaint, how could the people from the Tianxian Division have come to this poor and remote place in Qingshui County?
He decided to wait until Chen Yuan left and then use some methods against Zhang Hefeng to force him to leave Qingshui County. Nothing outside his control could happen here.
This thought flashed away, and Sun Yuan could not help but put his mind on Chiyang Mountain. He could not be exposed there, otherwise he would not be able to retain his official title.
The land he sold to a wealthy businessman in Fucheng for a penny, and he boasted about it for a long time, feeling that Qingshui County was under control.
Nothing would happen, and with the protection of the adult in Fucheng, the news of the red sun stone vein would not reach Fucheng at all.
It's a pity that Chen Yuan somehow got the news about Chiyang Mountain.
Sun Yuan didn't react at first, but being able to sit on the position of county magistrate also meant that he was not a fool. Soon after Chen Yuan left, he realized something was fishy.
Why did those bandits make trouble in Chiyang Mountain so suddenly and then leave? They got almost no benefits, and the timing of Chen Yuan's arrival was too coincidental.
As soon as the news came back, Chen Yuan immediately went to search.
This clearly means that the situation in Chiyang Mountain has been known for a long time, just to find an excuse. Since the Qingshui County government office can have contact with Chen Yuan, it is possible that no one else knows about Chiyang Mountain except Zhang Hefeng.
Sun Yuan felt that this was simply Zhang Hefeng's conspiracy to get people from the Tianxuan Division to intervene.
But after figuring this out, Sun Yuan didn't have any good ideas. Chen Yuan didn't seem to like him and insisted on going to Chiyang Mountain to investigate.
After thinking about it, he decided to send his trusted men to Chiyang Mountain to admonish Cheng Tao. It was best to show weakness first and wait until Chen Yuan left before thinking of another strategy.
The worst case scenario is to take action from the government office, put pressure on Chen Yuan and then induce him to benefit. As long as this matter is not revealed, everything will be fine...
'Master, master...'
While Sun Yuan was deep in thought, a servant of the Sun Mansion hurried in, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"What happened?"
Sun Yuan felt something was wrong and put the teacup in his hand on the table.
"Sun Hai is back."
The servant said quickly.
"Come back?" Sun Yuan was startled, and then he became happy. Sun Hai was the caring subordinate he sent to Chiyang Mountain, and he was also given the surname Sun.
It is considered relatively loyal.
He was a little worried before, but now that he's back, he should be fine.
Seeing the uneasiness on the servant's face next to him, Sun Yuan frowned:
"Let him come in quickly."
"Master... there are blood stains on Sun Hai's body."
Sun Yuan's body stiffened for a moment and he whispered:
"Let him in."
"yes."
Soon, Sun Hai, who was covered in blood, was brought in. The blood stains on his body were all left by the previous supervisors. Yes, under the order of a certain patrolman, Sun Hai also killed someone.
"master."
When Sun Hai saw Sun Yuan, he quickly lowered his head and bowed.
"Why did you come back so late?" Sun Yuan's face was very calm.
"Back to my lord, I was detained by Inspector Chen of the Sky Patrol Department..."
"Um?"
"When the villain arrived at Chiyang Mountain..."
Sun Hai swallowed his saliva and told everything that happened today.
After listening, Sun Yuan clenched and unclenched his fists, stared straight into Sun Hai's eyes and said coldly:
"Then why are you back?"
"Yes...it was Inspector Chen who sent a villain to persuade the master to surrender." Sun Hai quickly knelt on the ground and said in a low voice.
"What!"
Sun Yuan slapped the table heavily:
"Sun is an official of the imperial court. How dare Chen Yuan use the word 'surrender'?"
He felt that he had been insulted. After all, he was also a local official and a seventh-grade county magistrate. Did Chen Yuan really dare to take action?
"Sir, Inspector Chen asked me to tell you that Lieutenant Zhang is responsible for your crimes. If you surrender as soon as possible...you...you also know that the Inspector has the right to kill first and report later."
Sun Hai hesitated and repeated Chen Yuan's words.
"Arrogant!"
Sun Yuan immediately stood up and was about to summon the guards in the palace, and ordered the county police officers to come immediately to protect him. It is true that the Tianxian Division had the right to kill him first and report later, but he did not have the right to directly remove him from the position of county magistrate.
Even if there is evidence of his crime, he is still the magistrate of Qingshui County.
"You...go to the county office quickly..."
Before Sun Yuan finished speaking, he saw the bitter expression on Sun Hai's face and frowned:
"What do you want to say?"
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Hai pointed outside and whispered:
"Master, stop it, there are people from the Tianxian Division outside!"
Sun Yuan's pupils shrank deeply and he took a deep breath. Then, as if all his strength was gone, he fell directly onto the chair. There were people from the Tianxun Division outside.
His men couldn't get out at all.
Moreover, Zhang Hefeng definitely intervened, otherwise the few people brought by Chen Yuan would not be enough to surround Sun Mansion.
No one in Sun Mansion can resist the Ning Gang Warrior.
After drinking all the water in the teacup on the table, Sun Yuan whispered:
"Take me to see Chen Yuan."
...
...
Sun Yuan, who accepted his fate, lost the confidence to resist, and walked out of the house under the leadership of Sun Hai. As soon as he went out, he saw dozens of people surrounding Sun's house.
He didn't like living in the county government office, so he built a big house outside, but this also made him more dangerous. At least if he lived in the county government office, ordinary people would not dare to surround the county government office.
Sun Yuan's eyes swept over those people one by one. Most of them were police officers from Qingshui County. Except for a few people from the Patrol Division, no one dared to look at him.
He was almost escorted all the way to the inn where Chen Yuan lived.
In fact, Chen Yuan's original intention was to arrest Sun Yuan directly to save time, but Zhang Hefeng felt it was inappropriate. In any case, Sun Yuan was also an official of the imperial court.
Without the order of the prefect, it is a serious crime to attack a seventh-grade county magistrate. Although Chen Yuan has the power to kill first and report later, it is best not to use this power if he can.
And if they want to control the Chiyang Stone Mine, they can't make things too big.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress it, and swallowing the Chiyang Stone Mine would be even more nonsense.
When Sun Yuan was brought to the inn, Chen Yuan was chatting and laughing with Zhang Hefeng. Seeing Sun Yuan's livid face, Zhang Hefeng stood up and smiled and waved his hand:
"How could you treat Magistrate Sun like this? Go down first..."
Sun Yuan didn't have much cultivation, and he and Chen Yuan couldn't make any waves here.
The people from Qingshui County Government turned around and left, but Mo Donghe and the others seemed not to have heard them and stood quietly, as if ignoring Zhang Hefeng's words.
His face looked a little unsightly, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen?"
"Go down first."
Chen Yuan waved his hand and ordered.
Mo Donghe and others then turned and left.
"Magistrate Sun, sit down."
Chen Yuan glanced at Sun Yuan without changing his expression, pointed to the seat beside him and said.
"Zhang County Lieutenant is so clever that he actually used Inspector Chen's hand to attack this officer..." Sun Yuan looked at Zhang Hefeng and sneered, and sat down regardless of his expression.
"What did County Magistrate Sun say? Why can't I understand it?" Zhang Hefeng smiled and did not admit it.
But now it doesn't matter whether you admit this situation or not.
"Is Inspector Chen really going to take action against me?" Sun Yuan looked directly at Chen Yuan: "As long as Inspector Chen stops now, Sun can treat today's incident as if it never happened."
"Do you think it is necessary to say this now? I am willing to see you this time, and I just want to ask you a question." Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and his indifferent eyes stayed on Sun Yuan for a moment.
"what is the problem?"
"Who is the person behind you?"
"You think I'll tell you?"
"You think I can't find out if you don't tell me?"
"You..." Sun Yuan was speechless for a moment.
"County Magistrate Sun, you can't survive, but your family is still alive. Think carefully...otherwise, a group of bandits may break into Sun's house at night."
"And some of your family members in Fucheng... If you want to keep them safe, just speak honestly. Don't worry, Chen is just giving them a warning. As long as they are no longer pursued, everyone will naturally be in peace."
Chen Yuan tapped his fingers on the table in a very regular pattern. Each time, it seemed to hit Sun Yuan's heart, making him feel a little flustered.
After being silent for a long time, perhaps sensing that Chen Yuan's words were true, Sun Yuan let out a sigh of relief:
"It's the current Prime Minister!"
A flash of understanding flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. There were only a few people who could be Sun Yuan's backers, and one of them was the Fu Cheng... After that, Chen Yuan got some evidence of the Fu Cheng's crimes from his mouth.
With this thing around, that person wouldn't dare to do anything, and it's even hard to say how many times he could cooperate with him.
Sun Yuan explained a lot, from how he discovered that the abandoned mine had red sunstone again to how they transported these things, he recorded them all one by one.
As a price, Sun Yuan also made Zhang Hefeng and Chen Yuan promise not to do anything to his family.
After solving Sun Yuan's case, Zhang Hefeng said goodbye. He wanted to take power in his hands before the next Qingshui County magistrate took office. Sun Yuan was detained in the Qingshui County jail until Chen Yuan returned to Fucheng. Only after you report it will someone come to deal with it.
Early the next morning, Chen Yuan and his party set out on their way back to Fucheng. The two boys, Gui Jin and Gui Huo, had been released by Chen Yuan not long after Chen Yuan subdued them, and were ready to let them return to Fucheng first.
The first is to control the other two ghost boys, and the second is to investigate the Qingjiao Society...
Zhang Hefeng didn't go out of town to see him off, and Chen Yuan didn't want to make a big show, so it was fine to just keep a low profile.
