Chapter 154 Don’t Be Greedy
Chapter 154 Don’t Be Greedy
In the lobby, Wei Changyuan not only arrested the man in blue robe, but also arrested several people who were with the man in blue robe.
The man in blue robe is a wealthy businessman in the town, known as the Yang family. He is as wealthy as the He family, but his style of doing things is very different.
This man was extremely domineering, and his sons were well-known bullies in the town. Previously, some citizens went to the county government to report the case, accusing his sons of robbing women and smashing people's stalls.
Wei Changyuan had just put the person who caused the accident into jail, and the next moment the master of the Yang family brought people to the yamen and threatened that his Yang family's backers were people in the palace, and if he didn't release the person, Wei Changyuan would be in trouble.
Wei Changyuan had already prepared himself to fight to the death. After all, if a mere county magistrate like him really provoked someone in the palace, the consequence would be nothing more than packing up and resigning.
But if you ask him to just leave it alone, there's no way!
This incident caused great embarrassment to the county government and the Yang family, and because the accuser was reluctant to sign the official document of accusation, he was unable to convict him.
Later one day, the woman whose stall was smashed and who accused Yang Jiazi of raping a woman came to the county government office and said that she wanted to withdraw the charges.
They said they were all ordinary people and that suffering a loss was a blessing, so they decided not to sue.
Wei Changyuan chased after the two of them to ask for the reason, but they just shook their heads with sad faces.
As soon as they left, Wei Changyuan realized that the two of them were being threatened.
But when he went there, he was turned away. The two of them said that the Yang family had already compensated them and they could not offend the Yang family, so they just let the matter go.
When Wei Changyuan came out of the woman's house, a pretty girl called him.
Although the woman just said thank you to him quickly, he could clearly see the bruise on her wrist.
Ever since this incident, Wei Changyuan no longer had a good impression of the Yang family. Those who bully others by taking advantage of their power are the most disgusting.
"Wei Changyuan, what rights do you have to arrest me? My adoptive father is a high-ranking official in the palace! You don't want this black hat on your head anymore!"
The captured Master Yang yelled at the top of his lungs. In the past, Wei Changyuan would have been a little afraid of him, but now that he had the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was fearless!
"How dare you! I am the county magistrate, and you, a commoner, dare to address me by my name. This is extremely disrespectful. I will arrest you and give you ten great beatings! This will serve as a warning to others!"
"Wei Changyuan! How dare you!"
Wei Changyuan slapped him on the forehead: "Fifteen lashes of the cane! Five more lashes for every utterance you make! If you utter again!"
"Wei Changyuan!"
"Twenty lashes!"
.......
The sound downstairs gradually faded away, and Mei Susu found it funny.
Lord Wei must have had a difficult time doing this before, but now that he has Xuanyuan Che as his backer, he can stand up straight.
She only hopes that the murderer can be found as soon as possible so that the missing children can return home soon.
"Master, given the situation, do we still need to travel today?" Zhuixue stepped forward to refill Xuanyuan Che's tea and asked in a low voice.
Zhuiying came in from outside at this time: "Master, as you expected, the Third Prince went downstream to the Eighteen-Li Canal last night."
"So fast!"
Zhuixue was surprised. They had only been out for two days, but that group of people had set out even later than them, yet they had already boarded the ship today.
"We didn't travel in a proper manner, so we couldn't travel as fast as a horse. But I think they didn't rest during the journey, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to board the ship in just two days."
Zhuiying sighed, this Third Prince is really working hard, he is afraid that the master will get ahead of them.
Xuanyuan Che hooked Mei Susu's chin in his arms with his fingers from time to time, causing Mei Susu to squint her eyes comfortably.
"Pack up and get ready to go," he said.
Mei Susu raised her eyes in confusion: "Meow?"
Don’t wait until the matter in Qingfeng Town is over?
Xuanyuan Che held her up and looked out the window: "The things happening in this town won't be resolved in a short time, I will leave someone here to guard it."
Mei Susu understood, it seemed that she had thought things were simple.
Xuanyuan Che said so, it seems that there are still some secrets in Qingfeng Town that she is not aware of.
Zhuixue acted quickly. Not long after Xuanyuan Che gave the order, he had already packed up the carriage and organized his guards. After Xuanyuan Che and Mei Susu got on the carriage, the group set off again.
When the carriage reached the outskirts of the town, Wei Changyuan had already been waiting at the entrance of the town for a long time.
Zhuiying and Zhuixue looked at each other, and Zhuiying stepped forward and knocked on the carriage window: "Master, it's Lord Wei."
A light "hmm" sounded from inside, and Zhuiying reined in his horse and shouted to stop, and just happened to stop next to Wei Changyuan.
Wei Changyuan walked forward quickly with the package in his hand, raised the things in his hand to the carriage window, and said respectfully to the people inside: "I, Wei Changyuan, greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I know that His Royal Highness is about to set off on a journey, so I specially prepared some specialties for easy preservation and to satisfy your cravings. I hope Your Highness will not despise it."
"Chasing the shadow." Xuanyuan Che's cold voice came from the carriage.
Zhuiying jumped off the horse and clasped his fists in response.
"Take the things and send someone to take Lord Wei back."
"Yes, sir." Zhuiying took the package from Wei Changyuan and made a gesture of invitation.
The carriage started moving slowly again. Wei Changyuan lifted his robe and knelt respectfully, kowtowed three times to the carriage: "I respectfully send off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I also thank His Royal Highness on behalf of the children of Qingfeng Town!"
Not until the carriage had gone far away did he stand up with tears in his eyes, looking at the receding carriage with flickering eyes. Fortunately, the Crown Prince came to deal with the matter in Qingfeng Town this time, which gave him confidence. Otherwise, even if he had doubts, he would not dare to touch the people in Qingfeng Town at will.
The only shortcoming was that he didn't know when the prince came, and he didn't go to greet him. I don't know if His Highness will blame him for this.
Inside the carriage, Mei Susu looked at the dried fish and exquisite snacks, and couldn't help but sigh that Wei Changyuan was a capable person.
The dried fish do not have any seasoning. The fishermen simply process them after catching them and then dry them in the sun. Apart from a faint fishy smell, there is no other strange smell.
Mei Susu picked up a piece of dried fish with her little paws and put it in her mouth. After chewing it twice, her eyes lit up.
This dried fish is delicious, salty, fragrant and crispy, the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.
After eating a piece of Mei Susu, he took another piece, and in a short while he had eaten four or five pieces.
When she was about to pick up the sixth piece, Xuanyuan Che hugged her back and reached out to take the dried fish that she had just brought to her mouth.
Mei Susu: “????”
Why did you steal her dried fish?
"Dried fish is salty and fishy, so don't be greedy."
Xuanyuan Che said this as he put the package away and looked at the few snacks left inside, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Wei Changyuan...is a man who is good at observing people's expressions.
How could such a clever person end up being a ninth-rank county magistrate?
"Meow!"
Give me back my dried fish!
Mei Susu wanted more food and stretched out her claws to grab it. Xuanyuan Che put the package behind him and picked her up with his big hands: "Be good, eat tomorrow. You ate too much today and you are thirsty. There is no place for Susu to go to the toilet in the carriage."
