Chapter 30: Sign in at the County Office



Chapter 30: Sign in at the County Office

The group arrived outside the county government office. Yuan Man looked at the big drum beside the government office and laughed, "Captain, if I go in, I won't come out easily. You should think carefully about whether this stolen goods should be put on me."

The captain looked at her, gave a look to one of his soldiers, and waited until the soldier ran away before making a gesture of invitation.

Yuan Man sneered and walked in.

[Ding, the host has triggered a hidden sign-in point. Would you like to sign in? ]

Another hidden check-in point was triggered, still in the county government office.

Yuan Man lowered his eyes and curled his lips, "Sign in."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. The sign-in reward is 10,000 taels of gold, 12 loyal secret guards, and 1,000 jujube seedlings. The relevant items have been placed in the backpack, please check them. ]

It was a huge amount of gold. She had signed in once before, so she was not that excited. And she also had Yuan Yi and the others as secret guards, so she was also very calm.

but.

Yuan Man's gaze finally turned to the one thousand jujube saplings.

The jujube tree likes sunshine and is cold-resistant, but the temperature will not exceed minus 30 degrees Celsius. The system rewards the jujube tree here, which means that this year's winter will not be lower than this degree.

"Go to court..."

Yuan Man put away his thoughts and looked at the county magistrate who was sitting high up in the hall.

The county magistrate slammed the gavel and shouted, "Who is this person in the hall? Why don't you kneel before me?"

Yuan Man took out the token of Marquis Leshan and asked, "Do you still need me to run?"

The county magistrate stood up in shock, and hurriedly ran to her and ran down, "I didn't know it was the Marquis who came, please forgive me."

"Alas, I don't deserve your forgiveness. I am also guilty now." Yuan Man said this, but pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

"Come, continue the trial. I really want to know how I became the culprit for poisoning that so-called Juren master."

"When did I poison you and why did I poison you? Your Excellency, please examine me carefully."

The county magistrate looked at the head of the police and shouted, "Explain why you arrested Mr. Hou."

The constable had been dumbfounded when Yuan Man took out the token. He only came to his senses after the county magistrate scolded him and said, "Sir, I also found out about the marquis after a lot of investigation."

The county magistrate looked at Yuan Man, but she just sat there smiling faintly.

The county magistrate knew that he was going to hit a wall this time, so he glared at the head of the police and said, "Go and bring that man up here. I will have a thorough trial to see who dares to slander the Marquis."

Yuan Man thought about what he had seen yesterday, and also about the scholar Liang You that the captain of the police had mentioned.

Brother Liang, Liang You.

It seems that I was caught and used to take the blame.

Moreover, more than 80% of the murderer is the one with the surname Sheng.

She wanted to see what the county magistrate was going to do.

The captain of the police quickly brought the person over.

Yuanman looked at the man and tried hard to recall, but had no impression.

But what was strange was that the man who was kneeling on the ground was not afraid of the county magistrate at all and just looked at them straight.

"Sir, I am very sure that I saw him touch the scholar, and the scholar took two steps back."

"Then, the scholar left."

The county magistrate looked at Yuan Man with an embarrassed look.

Yuan Man sneered and said, "Oh, I don't even remember who I bumped into yesterday, but you remember it clearly."

Originally she thought someone saw her pulling the Liang guy, but now it seems that someone was just standing by to frame her.

The county magistrate is in cahoots with the man surnamed Sheng, and they are not very afraid of her status as a marquis.

Yuanman waved his hand and asked Yuanyi to investigate the whole matter.

"I've had a good memory since I was young, so I remember it very clearly." The man looked at her firmly.

If Yuanman hadn't been involved in the incident, he would have almost believed it.

"Tsk, what do you think, sir?" Yuan Man looked at the county magistrate with a smile on his face.

The county magistrate immediately said, "Of course I believe you, sir, but now the evidence points to you, so I am in a difficult position."

"What's the problem? Just follow the laws of Anguo." Yuan Man said nonchalantly.

"It's just that, if I want, I can find a hundred pieces of this so-called evidence."

"Originally, I was just passing through Guicheng, but now, if this matter is not solved thoroughly, I will not leave."

The county magistrate's eyes darkened, and he smiled and said, "My Lord, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. You are now involved in the case of poisoning a scholar, and I'm afraid you can't leave even if you want to."

"Oh, really? That's great." Yuan Man looked at him and continued, "Anyway, the imperial envoy will be here in a day or two, and I'm waiting for him to make the final decision."

The county magistrate smiled even more, "My Lord, you may not know that our return to the city is special, and the imperial envoy will not come easily."

"Oh, what's the special method? It will broaden my horizons." Yuan Man really wanted to know.

She had found the city very strange when she entered it, and naturally wanted to know the reason.

The county magistrate laughed and said, "The reason why we call Guicheng Guicheng is because this city was formed after the mountain strongholds surrendered."

"The court granted two special exceptions to the returnees: one was that the imperial envoys were not allowed to enter the city without a reason; two was that the officials returning to the city had to be locals; and three was that they were not required to pay taxes within 30 years of returning to the city."

Yuan Man looked at him, and the smile on his face faded. "So, you can ignore the law and do whatever you want?"

She said that she felt something was wrong with returning to the city. First, although the people in the city were thin, they did not look weak.

Second, the people she saw on the street yesterday basically all had some kung fu skills and their steps were very steady.

"Look at what the Marquis said. How could I ignore the law? Isn't this conclusive evidence?" The county magistrate said and walked back to his seat and sat down.

"My Lord, no matter how high your position is in the capital, you have to coil up even if you are a dragon when we return to the city."

"Come here, take the criminal to the prison and execute him in the downtown area at noon tomorrow."

Yuan Man was stunned by this verdict. Could he just execute a marquis?

It was not until the soldiers came in that he came back to his senses and looked at the county magistrate and asked, "I really want to know, how can a bandit's den receive such preferential treatment from the court?"

"Besides, I am a marquis, how can I just judge you?"

"Of course, because we deserve it." The county magistrate raised his head proudly.

"When we surrendered ten years ago, we handed over 80% of our silver and grain. How could the court not give us some benefits?"

"Do you know how much 80% of the treasury silver was at that time? A full five million taels. Who would be willing to pay it without some benefits?"

"In addition, there are more than 100,000 kilograms of grain. Our village chief took out everything and divided it up. He only kept 20% for himself and handed over 80%."

"I was the only one who acted fast. Who would have known that you were the Marquis?"

"Even if I find out later, I can just say I don't know. What's there to be afraid of?"

Yuan Man frowned after hearing this. According to her memory and what she had seen and heard during this period, there had been no war in Anguo in the past ten years. If the five million taels and more than 100,000 kilograms of grain were really turned over to the national treasury, how could Anguo become like this?
