The master rushed in angrily. When he heard Wang Jinhe's words, he didn't even look at who it was and said directly, "Catch him for me."
The county magistrate looked at the master with an unpleasant expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Song, who do you want to capture?"
He didn't know that this master was so arrogant when he was outside.
Hearing the familiar voice, Master Song was stunned for a moment. When he saw the angry face of the county magistrate, he was completely dumbfounded.
Looking at the woman standing beside the county magistrate, who was dressed simply but had an outstanding temperament, Mr. Song suddenly thought of someone.
Princess Changning.

His status did not allow him to meet the county lord. Every time the lord came, he was with the prefect and it was not his turn to accompany him.
Now the person his brother-in-law offended was actually the county lord
And he even wanted to arrest the county lady just now. How dare he do such a thing
"My Lord, I... I..."
Not to mention that the person in front of him was the county lord. If the adults saw him bringing people to arrest a civilian, he would have no way to explain this matter.
"Master Song is so arrogant. It's bad enough that he condoned his brother-in-law to do such a heinous thing, but he even dared to bring people to arrest anyone he wanted. I don't even have such power, but how dare you, a master?" The county magistrate was so angry that his face turned blue.
He took a deep breath and turned to look at Wang Jinhe: "County Lady, could you please ask the people around you to help me check him out? I want to see how much he has done."
This was his dereliction of duty. If it hadn't been for his dereliction of duty, things wouldn't have come to this point.
The county magistrate gave Master Song a cold look and trembled with anger.
If Master Song was so arrogant when I didn't know...

The county magistrate didn't even dare to think about it.
"Yuanxu, go check."
"yes."
"It's all my fault." The county magistrate said dejectedly.
This year is too important, and he and the prefect are very busy, so the people around them didn't pay too much attention to it. Who would have thought that such a big mistake would occur.
Wang Jinhe knew that the county magistrate was blaming himself and was worried that Master Song had made too many mistakes.
"Sir, don't think too much about it. You and the prefect have been very busy working with me this year, so you naturally have no time to take care of your subordinates." Wang Jinhe said soothingly.
"But it is my fault after all. If he did too many things, I cannot escape the blame." The county magistrate frowned, feeling a little worried.
"You'll know when Yuanxu comes back."
About an hour later, Yuan Xu finally came back, and Master Song had been kneeling for an hour.
When he heard the county magistrate say he wanted to investigate him, he was completely dumbfounded. If the county magistrate found him, he would be finished.
As time went by, Master Song still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that the people in the county lord's hands had not found out anything.
However, what he didn't know was that Yuan Xu and the others' source of information was the First Floor and Liushang Pavilion, so this little matter was only a matter of time.
When Master Song saw Yuan Xu coming back, he became nervous.
He looked at Yuan Xu nervously, but the latter seemed not to notice his nervousness and told Wang Jinhe the information he had found: "Madam."
Wang Jinhe handed it to the person next to him without even looking at it.
The county magistrate took a deep breath and began to read it.
After reading it, his face turned pale: "Master Song is so bold, it's ok to indulge your brother-in-law to suppress his peers, but he even dared to collude with those wealthy businessmen to harm the people's land."
"May I ask you for another favor, brave man?" the county magistrate said to Yuan Xu.
Yuan Xu nodded coolly, signaling the county magistrate to speak quickly.

He quite liked this county magistrate who was dedicated to the people.
"Please help me notify all the victims and ask them to go to the county government office so that I can handle the case for them." There were more than a dozen families of victims, and they were beaten and scolded because they had no way to file a lawsuit.
"Do you need a list of people who are in cahoots with Master Song?" Yuan Xu thought that if he could be a good person, he would do it forever, so he might as well give him a hand.
"Thank you so much."
"Go and ask the prefect."
"yes."
After everyone was arranged to leave, the county magistrate looked at Wang Jinhe and said, "My lady, I have not been strict in my administration. Please go with me to the county government. I should be punished."
"You don't have to do this." Wang Jinhe said with a frown.
People make mistakes and horses stumble. He has done enough for the people, why should he do this
"You must do this, the county magistrate. Only in this way can we tell all the people that if they have any grievances in the future, they can come to the county government office to find me, instead of being afraid when others stop them." The county magistrate had his own considerations. It was because he had been too indulgent to the lawyer in the past that the current situation was caused.

If he just casually mentioned this incident, how could the persecuted people believe him? Only after he was punished would it be more convincing.
"Then I'll go with you." Wang Jinhe knew what was going on after a little thought.
"Yuan Lin, go call that uncle over as well. He's also a victim."
"yes."
Master Song collapsed to the ground, everything was over.
The county magistrate even wants to punish himself, let alone me.
He knows exactly how much he has done.
If the county magistrate and the prefect were to argue with each other, would he still be alive
He didn't even dare to think about it.
"Take the people and go."

Wang Jinhe asked Qiuyi and the others to take good care of Xiaobao and the others, and then he followed the county magistrate to the yamen.
When they arrived at the yamen, the persecuted people were also there.
Seeing Master Song and his brother-in-law kneeling below, some people wanted to pounce on them and eat their flesh and drink their blood.
The prefect arrived later. When he saw Wang Jinhe, he knelt down and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the county lady."
"There's no need to be so polite, Prefect."
The prefect stood up and looked at the county magistrate beside him: "What's going on?"
"You see, sir, it was Master Song who did it. It's all my fault." The county magistrate said with a wry smile.
Because he brought too much harm to the people.
The prefect's expression became uglier and uglier, and finally he kicked Master Song hard in the chest.
Suppressing the anger in his chest, the prefect turned around and looked at the people outside: "Today, if anyone has been threatened by these two people, or has been harmed by them for personal gain, please come forward and tell us. This official and the county lady will take care of it for you."

Wang Jinhe nodded appropriately: "As the prefect said, if there is any grievance, you can speak it out today."
"My Lord, this bastard lawyer abused the name of the county magistrate to forcibly seize a common woman. He took my fourteen-year-old daughter away to be his concubine. When we refused, he had his people smash our house and beat up my father."
When the county magistrate heard what the people said, he fell to his knees.
"It is a crime for an official not to be strict with his subordinates."
"Sir, this has nothing to do with you. We all know that you and the prefect have been very busy since the second half of last year. This has nothing to do with you." The family who had just accused Master Song spoke up.
They were not the heartless people who did not know what was good for them, and they knew that the county magistrate had been working for them and just wanted to make their lives better.
