Chapter 461

Ye Xiaotian looked puzzledly at Yu Junting and said: "What does the County Supervisor mean? This lowly official … doesn't quite understand!"

Yu Junting raised her beautiful eyebrows in a devilish manner and said sweetly: "You are an intelligent person. Intelligent people should not go overboard when talking to intelligent people. If you speak too bluntly, then it will be meaningless."

Ye Xiaotian frowned: "This lowly official is only seeking the County Supervisor's opinion on this case. I really don't understand what the County Supervisor is talking about."

Yu Junting saw that he was speaking seriously and unconsciously became startled. Could it be that I have misunderstood? Yu Junting's pretty face unconsciously became slightly red. Somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, she said: "Let's not beat around the bush. This lowly official values your ability and hopes that you will submit to this lowly official."

Hearing her words, Ye Xiaotian then thought about the identity of that young thug and immediately understood why Yu Junting had misunderstood. He had never thought of hugging someone's thigh, even when he had faced Yang Yinglong's recruitment. Why would he submit to Yu Junting today?

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and tactfully said: "What can this lowly official obtain by submitting to the County Supervisor?"

Yu Junting straightened her back and proudly said: "What do you want?"

Ye Xiaotian raised his head and looked between her breasts that were still clearly visible under her loose official's robe. He asked: "What does the County Supervisor have?"

Yu Junting flipped her small fan and leisurely said: "Wine, women, avarice, arrogance, official rank, wealth and honor!"

Ye Xiaotian's eyes slightly flashed and he asked: "This lowly official is currently a seventh-ranked official. If I wish to be promoted to a sixth-ranked official, is that possible?"

Yu Junting was slightly startled. In order to deal with Zhang Duo, she had bribed many people. Some bribed them with benefits and some promised official positions. Prefectural Magistrate Zhang himself was a fifth-ranked official. In the entire Tongren Province, other than the Guang Wei General Yu Junting who had a higher official rank than him, there was no other fifth-ranked official. The highest was only sixth-ranked.

Among the sixth-ranked officials, there was only one sixth-ranked official, which was the position Yu Junting was currently holding. The other two sixth-ranked officials were Dai Chonghua's Tongzhi and Yulong's Prefectural Magistrate. If she could replace Zhang Duo, then she would be the prefectural magistrate. Since Zhang Jiaxun had relinquished his position as prefectural magistrate, he would have to exchange his position as the chief judge.

Dai Chonghua was on her side, so she couldn't touch him. Only Yulong, if he didn't know what was good for him, could have designs on him. Even so, she had already promised this possible official position to someone else.

The person Yu Junting promised was also a chieftain. His help to her was clearly greater than Ye Xiaotian's. Moreover, she had already promised him, so how could she go back on her word? Thus, the sixth-ranked official position that Ye Xiaotian asked for became an impossible condition for her.

Yu Junting thought for a moment, then knitted his brows and said: "Wealth, silk, land, this official can give you all of these. If you are loyal and devoted to this official, I can even give you a hereditary position as a Big Head. You can share the riches and honor with my Yu family. As long as my Yu family exists, your Ye family can live in peace and honor. Isn't this better? "

Ye Xiaotian sighed and said: "This lowly official doesn't care for these things. This lowly official only wants a sixth-ranked official position."

Yu Junting's expression became unsightly and said: "What is the point of being an official? Don't you understand? This official can give it to you directly. Why must you be so stubborn about an official position? Are you rejecting this official in disguise? "

Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of something. Regarding the matter of Xia Yingying, Yu Junting might not be able to help, but Zhan Ning 'er might be able to … Thinking about the Zhan family head, in order to strengthen his own power, he was willing to marry Ning' er to the Guoji family. If Yu Junting became the head of Tong Ren, his status and power would be above the Guoji family, and if she was willing to be the matchmaker, there might be a chance?

Thinking about this, Ye Xiaotian said excitedly: "Good! Then … I don't want the sixth-ranked official position! I don't want the land, wealth, or the hereditary position, but County Supervisor Yu has to promise me something else. "

Yu Junting's curiosity was piqued. "Speak!"

Ye Xiaotian stared at her and said: "I want a woman, a very beautiful woman!"

Yu Junting smiled: "As expected, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. I promise you!"

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "County Supervisor Yu better not agree too early, because … her status is very noble …"

Yu Junting frowned, thought for a moment and blurted out: "Zhan Ning 'er?"

Ye Xiaotian praised him in her heart. Sure enough, he was meticulous and intelligent. She immediately understood what was going on from the time they met at the Mercury Mountain. Ye Xiaotian said: "That's right, it's the Zhan family of Shi Qian's residence … Zhan Ning 'er!"

Yu Junting frowned slightly: this matter was indeed very troublesome. Ye Xiaotian was a low-ranking official, and his official rank was not high, so he was of no help to the Zhan family. It was not worth it for the Zhan family to marry Zhan Ning 'er to him. Not to mention that the Zhan family was from Shi Qian's residence, even if they were both from Tongren Province, and she was the head of Tongren, she had no right to interfere with the marriage of the Zhan family's children.

Thinking of this, Yu Junting said to Ye Xiaotian: "This matter is indeed very difficult, I can't help. That Zhan Ning 'er is one of the famous three tigers of Shui Xi. She is unruly and overbearing, and is not a good choice for a wife. Why are you so obsessed with her? If you want a beauty, I can give you eight or ten of them. In terms of appearance, none of them are inferior to her. "

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "There are three thousand beauties in the world, I only want one. Even if the woman given to me by the County Supervisor is more beautiful than Ning 'er, I don't want it."

Yu Junting snorted and said mockingly, "You're an infatuated person. In that case, unless I can give you a sixth-rank official position, or help you ask the Zhan family for this marriage, you won't be used by me? "

Ye Xiaotian spread out his hands and said, "It's really a pity."

Yu Junting glared at him and said, "If you're not willing to join me, are you going to follow the Zhang family to the end?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "County Supervisor, I'm not under the Zhang family to begin with! I'm a low-ranking official, and the big tree I'm relying on is the imperial court. If this lowly official joins the Yu family, then from now on, I will have to put the Yu family before the imperial court. However, what the Yu family can give me is not what I want. At that time, I will lose the trust of the imperial court. What should I do? "

Yu Junting laughed coldly and said, "Do you think that the imperial court thinks highly of you now? That they can shelter you from the wind and rain? Do the officials of the imperial court know who you are? "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "This lowly official is still young, there will be a chance for the Son of Heaven and the officials of the imperial court to notice me!"

Yu Junting's face darkened and he said, "Do you know that if you're not willing to join me, I won't keep you in Tongren and will kick you out sooner or later?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "To demote a low-ranking official, I'm afraid the County Supervisor won't be able to do it!"

Yu Junting laughed coldly and said, "Do you think the imperial court will offend the Tongren tribe leaders for a small official like you? You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! "

"Perhaps!" Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "County Supervisor, please calm down. Since we can't see eye to eye, this lowly official will take his leave!"

"Wait!"

Yu Junting's face turned fierce and said, "Tell me about the case you mentioned just now."

Ye Xiaotian lightly slapped his forehead and said, "This lowly official almost forgot, I wonder what advice does the County Supervisor have for this case?"

Yu Junting said, "Since the person you mentioned is the son of Tu She, he has the right to be exempted. How do you plan to deal with him?"

Ye Xiaotian said word by word, "Naturally, according to the law!"

Yu Junting nodded slightly and said, "Punish him with gold? That's fine. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Milord, you misunderstand. This lowly official means to severely punish him according to the law!"

Yu Junting frowned and said, "Severely punish him according to the law? What do you mean by severely punish him according to the law? He is the son of Tu She! "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Even if he has the Red Calligraphy Iron Voucher and the Death Exemption Medallion, he is still guilty of an unpardonable crime. Rape is a capital crime, not to mention gang rape! What's more, he broke into people's houses and raped them. He's simply disregarding the law. Even if he's the son of Tu She, if such a heinous act can be replaced with a fine, would they still have any scruples? Would the people still have a way to live? "

Yu Junting said, "You think that Zhang Duo is a toothless tiger just because he can't do anything to me? If you want to make things difficult for him, be careful that he will bite you until there is nothing left. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "This lowly official and the Zhang family have no enmity. Speaking of which, Magistrate Zhang has shown kindness to this lowly official. Why would this lowly official deliberately make things difficult for the Zhang family? It is just that this lowly official is a prefectural official and in charge of punishment. This lowly official cannot allow criminals to go unpunished and harm the innocent. I hope that Magistrate can support this lowly official to handle this case according to the law and uphold justice for the people! "

"Handle the case according to the law? I think you are being unreasonable! "

Yu Junting grabbed his ivory fan and pointed it at Ye Xiaotian's nose as he reprimanded, "If you want to handle a case according to the law, then you should punish him with gold. This is the law that the court has set for us, the Chieftains' families!"

Ye Xiaotian said, "If the law cannot protect the good and instead allows the wicked to do evil, then it is evil law! The daughter of the Luo family is a girl from a good and pure family. She was ravaged by five young thugs and her life is worse than death. Shouldn't you uphold justice for her? County Supervisor Yu is also a woman. Don't you have any compassion? "

Yu Junting said angrily, "Even if you convict them, the court will still reject it. What is the point of doing this?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "Of course there is a point! Even if I cannot punish them, it does not mean that I will accept that a fine can redeem their crimes! "

Yu Junting was unable to restrain his anger and said, "What kind of bullsh * t is this? Why are you like a stupid donkey, so obstinate? "

Ye Xiaotian looked at her coldly and said, "County Supervisor Yu is from a Chieftain's family. Naturally, you will not understand!"

After saying that, Ye Xiaotian cupped his hands at Yu Junting and left. Yu Junting was speechless. Only when his figure disappeared did she stomp her feet and scolded hatefully, "Stupid donkey! What an extremely stubborn donkey! "

After scolding, Yu Junting thought about it again. If Ye Xiaotian really wanted to punish Zhang Tushe's son, he would definitely offend the Zhang family. Even though the Zhang family had been tricked by her, they were still a colossus in Tongren Province. It was not something that a person like Ye Xiaotian could deliberately provoke.

Moreover, it was not just one but five criminals. Offending the Zhang family alone was not something that a low-ranking official like Ye Xiaotian could bear. Not to mention, there were five of them. The privileges that the Chieftain's family enjoyed was a 'benefit' that the court gave to the entire Chieftain class. If Ye Xiaotian ignored this rule, he would not only damage the Zhang family's reputation but also the interests of the entire Chieftain class. At that time, he would be boycotted by all the Chieftain families. Would there still be a place for him in Tongren Province?

After thinking about this, Yu Junting could not help but feel happy. Even if he was a stubborn and stubborn donkey, he should know to turn back after hitting his head against the southern wall. At that time, Ye Xiaotian would definitely see the reality and rely on her to accept her protection.

Yu Junting could almost see Ye Xiaotian kneeling in front of her. He would slap his own face and cry bitterly as he apologized to her, begging for her forgiveness and protection. Yu Junting immediately became complacent and revealed a charming smile …
