The county magistrate of Hu County, Hu County Magistrate, is looking at his wife here and telling her not to think too much here.
But before he could persuade his wife to come forward, he heard the drum of grievance being beaten outside the county government office.
The county magistrate didn't look angry in front of his wife. Instead, he looked at his wife and said to her.
"Madam, since someone has come to complain, the husband should leave for a while. Madam, please don't think too much. Some people feel that I have shaken their rights by enforcing the law impartially, so they keep arranging husbands here."
After the magistrate of Hu County said this, he walked swaggering towards the main hall. After he put on the county magistrate's clothes and sat down in the main hall, a group of government officials had already taken their seats, waiting there for the county magistrate's instructions.
When the county magistrate saw that everything was ready, he smiled and was stunned.
"Come here, bring up those who beat the drums to complain."
As the magistrate finished speaking, a servant who looked like a government servant immediately walked out of the lobby and shouted something at the top of his lungs.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, call those who beat drums to complain to the court."
As the boy's flowery words fell, a group of government officials rushed in from the gate of the county government office and quickly came to the lobby.
The county magistrate was surprised when he saw this group of government officials arriving.
"What's going on? Why do you beat drums to express grievances? Don't you know what drumming is for?
But you still want to file a complaint? What is the reason for the complaint? Now that you're here, let's talk about it. "
Just as the county magistrate was talking here, Xu Yunyan walked in slowly alone, just behind the yamen servant.
As for the Xuanwu Gate defenders who were guarding Xu Yunyan and others at the gate, they were all hidden on both sides, leaving only one gate.
But there was no room at the gate, and a large group of melon-eating people were surrounding it.
However, among the melon-eating crowd, there were also plain-clothes Xuanwu Gate guardsmen under Xu Yunyan who were investigating.
Xu Yunyan stood behind these police officers, and the Hu County Magistrate saw Xu Yunyan behind them at a glance.
"Tell me, have you been bullied? Or have you discovered something that is discordant? Is it related to you?"
While the county magistrate was speaking, he pointed at Xu Yunyan, who was standing in the distance. When the officer saw this, he immediately separated a lane and let Xu Yunyan pass them and come to the magistrate.
"Yes, the reason why they beat the drum to complain is indeed related to me."
After Xu Yunyan came forward and said this, the county magistrate laughed.
"Boy, what do you do? Why do you have trouble with the police officers in Zhonghu County? They are the most powerful people in maintaining the stability of Hu County."
As the magistrate of Hu County said this, Xu Yunyan smiled happily.
"Interesting. But they did not maintain the security of Hu County as you said. Instead, they acted recklessly in front of my eyes. Fortunately, they repented and came to report the mastermind."
Magistrate Hu was a little surprised now.
"They came to report the mastermind of the incident? Then can you tell me who the mastermind of the incident is?"
The magistrate of Hu County had just finished saying, "You look at me and I look at you in the Yamen Gate, and then all look at Xu Yunyan, waiting for Xu Yunyan's arrangements."
Xu Yunyan looked at these government officials and smiled at him.
"Just say what you just said now. Is it necessary to look at me here?"
After Xu Yunyan spoke, Zhang Baotou stepped out of the queue and gave Magistrate Hu a fist in his arms, "Your Excellency, Magistrate, I...I..."
Magistrate Hu looked at Capt. Zhang and laughed without knowing why.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Is it reasonable for you to hesitate?"
Magistrate Hu finally spoke, and the head catcher finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.
"Let's be honest, Lord County Magistrate. If the Magistrate hadn't forced us to go out every day to collect money and provide you with confessions, would we have been stabbed in the back by the people of the county?"
When Zhang Zhantou said this, the county magistrate's expression suddenly changed and he stood up from his seat.
"Nonsense! What are you talking about! When did I ask you to go out to collect money and then give me a confession?"
When the magistrate of Hu County said this, he didn't know what to do with this head catcher. This person didn't say anything here and that, and he didn't say anything. Several other government officials also stepped forward and started talking here.
"Lord County Magistrate, if you don't acknowledge the arrest of Zhang Tou, don't you also acknowledge what we did?"
The Hu County magistrate came forward with a few more government servants. He couldn't help but sweat a little on his face, but he still said proudly.
"Evidence! Everything requires evidence. You can't just arrange it with me."
The magistrate of Hu County just said this, "I just don't admit it. If you have the ability, you can come up with evidence. If you don't have evidence, you want to deceive me. This is impossible."
At this moment, these government officials instantly understood that the county magistrate had completely regarded them as scapegoats. If something really happens, the county magistrate will have no problem at all, but these government officials will have their backs stabbed by the villagers, and they may even face lawsuits.
Just after these government officials understood who their county magistrate was, they were all here wondering what to do, but Xu Yunyan smiled.
Looking at Xu Yunyan who was smiling very casually, the county magistrate asked casually.
"Who are you? Why do you encourage them to frame me?"
Xu Yunyan shook his head, "I'm just a passerby."
"Passers-by?"
Magistrate Hu smiled.
But looking at Magistrate Hu's appearance, Xu Yunyan said, "There will always be evidence."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he changed his words and then started talking here.
"Don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Of course, this is for the officials.
The yamen servant looked at me and I looked at you. He made up his mind and continued talking.
But the county magistrate still didn't care.
As for the back of the county government office, Mrs. Hu, who was not very sexy, left the room accompanied by Xiao Cui.
"Xiao Cui, I don't believe that my husband would do such a thing."
"Miss, don't think too much, this person just doesn't like us."
Xiao Cui hurriedly said something here to save her wife from worrying.
But just after Xiaocui finished speaking, Mrs. Hu looked at the study thoughtfully.
"Yes, my husband is young and promising, how could such a situation happen? What's more, my husband just reads in the study when he has nothing to do. He doesn't go out to parties, let alone attend dinners. Maybe it's these people who set up your husband."
With that said, Mrs. Hu walked towards Magistrate Hu's study, and Xiao Cui saw that his wife was in a good mood and laughed behind her.
"Madam, you are free to do so. I will leave for a moment. Go prepare something to eat."
As soon as Xiaocui left, Mrs. Hu had already arrived in front of the study and pushed it open. However, the study that was almost noon gave Mrs. Hu an eerie feeling.
Mrs. Hu curiously turned her head to look at the sun, which was shining brightly.
"How strange! What's going on?"
Although she didn't quite understand, Mrs. Hu still waved her hand and entered the study.
Hu Fulan walked to the study room, looking at the antique books filled with the fragrance of ink. He walked to the table where the county magistrate often read and touched the place where he used to do it. It was like touching his husband with such care and tenderness.
But I haven’t waited yet, how long will Mrs. Hu be gentle? I accidentally glanced at a book with no title written on it underneath a classic and historical book on the table.
Seeing this book, Mrs. Hu became curious, picked up the book and muttered to herself.
"What kind of book is Guanren reading here? Let me see if I can find something in common with Guanren."
Just when Mrs. Hu was thinking this, she opened the book and looked at the contents, but she was frightened to the point of bursting with fear.
Who gave how much money on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, where the money was hidden, and how much money was given by who on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. I took out a large part of it and gave it to my immediate boss. Etc., etc.
Looking at this series of records that seemed like evidence of corruption, Mrs. Hu almost burst into tears.
"How could it be? How could my husband do such a thing? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How could he do such a thing? I don't believe it."
Just when Mrs. Hu was crying here, Xiaocui, who did not follow Mrs. Hu in, suddenly rushed in.
"Ma'am, something's wrong!"
