Magistrate Hua was flustered and exasperated as he stood in Ye Xiaotian's detention room. Although there were very few people who truly respected this Magistrate, but since he had deigned to come, Ye Xiaotian couldn't just sit behind the desk. Thus, he stood in front of the desk.
Magistrate Hua was like an ant on a hot pan. He kept circling around Ye Xiaotian, sighing and exchanging blows. He had a very anxious look on his face.
He saw that Ye Xiaotian was a little crazy, but he didn't dare to use his official prestige to oppress him. Moreover, he didn't have any official prestige, so he could only complain, "Ai Dian Shi, Meng Qingwei is this county's Magistrate. Even I don't have the authority to punish him. Removing him from his position is up to the Imperial Court, let alone throwing him into prison."
Ye Xiaotian said to Magistrate Hua, "I did this. If there's a mistake, I will take responsibility!"
"You?"
Magistrate Hua secretly smiled bitterly. If Ye Xiaotian was the real Dian Shi, then this matter would naturally be handled by Ye Xiaotian. As the Magistrate of a county, although he was not strict in his discipline, Ye Xiaotian's actions seemed to be a sign of Miss Zhan's poison acting up. It was normal for a person to go crazy and do something out of line, so the Imperial Court couldn't be too harsh on him. But Ye Xiaotian was a fake. No matter what, he couldn't let this fake take the blame. Otherwise, if the Imperial Court sent someone to investigate, the crime of inciting someone to impersonate the Imperial Court's official would be exposed.
If Ye Xiaotian died as Ai Dian Shi, then he could take the blame. But in this situation, if Ye Xiaotian died, who would believe that he died of old age? He was the County Magistrate of Gourd County. A tyrant assassinated an Imperial Court official under his jurisdiction. It showed that he had done nothing for the past three years. His position as the County Magistrate had come to an end.
Hua Qingfeng had just thought of this outcome. He had naively proposed to kill Ye Xiaotian to solve the conflict with Qi Mu. At that time, County Magistrate Meng looked at him with pity. After that, Hua Qingfeng thought about it again and again. So, he could only let Ye Xiaotian do as he pleased?
"You deserve it!"
Hua Qingfeng looked up to the sky and lamented. At this time, Xu Haoran quietly walked in and whispered to Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian looked happy and said to Hua Qingfeng, "County Magistrate Meng, if we have the evidence of County Magistrate Meng's crime, can't we punish him?"
Magistrate Hua was stunned. He asked curiously, "You said someone reported? Do you have conclusive evidence? "
Ye Xiaotian raised his voice, "Come in!"
As the door opened, Su Xuntian excitedly walked in. He always had nothing to do in the yamen. Today, he finally did something big. Moreover, the person he dealt with was his brother-in-law's archenemy, County Magistrate Meng. The sense of achievement was indescribable. He was very satisfied.
Magistrate Hua was stunned when he saw his ignorant and incompetent brother-in-law. He said in surprise, "You …"
Su Xuntian just wanted to call him brother-in-law, but he could only say "sister". Suddenly, he remembered that this was the signing room and he was a class monitor. He immediately straightened his back and saluted to Magistrate Hua. He said solemnly, "Greetings, County Magistrate Hua!"
Magistrate Hua had never seen his ruffian brother-in-law so serious. He raised his hand in a daze and couldn't even say a word. Su Xuntian saluted to Ye Xiaotian again. He couldn't hide his pride and said, "Warden, I have been ordered to investigate Meng Qingwei's illegal activities. Now I have got conclusive evidence."
Ye Xiaotian had just heard Xu Haoran's report in a low voice that Su Xuntian had made up a crime, which was enough to make Meng Qingwei's temporary detention reasonable and legal. As for more crimes, if they wanted to investigate flawlessly, they had to make it slowly.
However, Meng Qingwei colluded with the tyrants for nothing more than power and profit. As long as they could get a crime first, they would have a reason to openly investigate him. It was not difficult to find the real evidence. They didn't have to be like Meng Qingwei and harm people with completely groundless crimes. With Ye Xiaotian's status, it was impossible to bring down a county magistrate with groundless crimes.
Ye Xiaotian coughed and looked at Magistrate Hua proudly. He said to Su Xuntian in the same serious tone, "What crimes did Meng Qingwei commit? Tell us in detail in front of the county magistrate."
Su Xuntian said, "County magistrate, Warden, this Meng Qingwei looks dignified, but in fact, he is worse than a beast. As a county magistrate, the head of justice, he knowingly broke the law and imprisoned a person in the cellar of his house for his own selfish desires. "
Hua Qingfeng was shocked, "There is such a thing?"
Su Xuntian said, "That's right! Master, originally, County Magistrate Meng was plotted against by thieves and was injured all over. I was ordered by the Warden to send County Magistrate Meng home, because of this … this … ah! We were worried that those thieves would hide in County Magistrate Meng's house and try to harm him, so we searched the Meng's house first. Unexpectedly, we found the cellar.
We rescued the person who was imprisoned by County Magistrate Meng in the cellar. When we rescued that person, he had been ravaged and looked like a savage. His appearance was too horrible to look at. It made people cry at first sight. Old Master, Meng Qingwei's actions have at least committed the crimes of illegal detention, assault, violation, indecent conduct … "
Hua Qingfeng was dumbfounded and amazed. He really believed it. He couldn't help but think that County Magistrate Meng was one of the most important people in the county. If he wanted a woman, what kind of woman couldn't he get? There were all kinds of beauties from the Han, Miao, Yi, and Zhuang races. He could even go to brothels and brothels. Unexpectedly, he imprisoned someone to show his lust. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Ye Xiaotian almost laughed when he heard it. There were indeed no useless people in this world. There were only people who were used in the wrong place. As long as they were put in the right place, even a playboy like Su Xuntian could show his strength. In such a short period of time, he used the Meng family's cellar to come up with such a sensational crime. Moreover, he even found the "victim". It was really amazing.
It was just that he didn't know who the "victim" Su Xuntian found was. Was it a prostitute that he hired with a lot of money, or was it his old lover? Although it was to trick people, it was better to make it as flawless as possible. He didn't want Hua Qingfeng to find any flaws in it. That would be embarrassing.
Ye Xiaotian was still a bit worried. But in front of Magistrate Hua, he naturally had to act very calm. Ye Xiaotian slowly sat down on the chair and slowly picked up the teacup. He said to Su Xuntian, "Did you bring the victim?"
"Yes!"
"Then bring her in. Let Master ask her face to face."
Su Xuntian said, "Yes!"
Su Xuntian turned around and ordered outside, "Come! Bring the victim here! "
The door opened again, two guards escorted in a tall, burly man with disheveled hair. As soon as the burly man entered the interrogation room, he pushed the messy locks of hair in front of his forehead to the left and right, and shouted loudly, "Where is your Gaha? If you want to interrogate me, shouldn't you go to the main hall? I understand the rules, why did you bring me to this nuisance place, where is your Gaha?"
"Pfft!" Ye Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of tea...
Ye Xiaotian was stunned. Hua Qingfeng was even more stunned than him.
"Why is it a man? And … he's so tall, so dirty, so ugly, and he keeps saying 'I'. Even if you like men, you won't like this kind of person. No wonder … No wonder County Magistrate Meng secretly dug a cellar in his house to imprison this man. I didn't expect County Magistrate Meng to have such a heavy taste … "
The more Hua Qingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. When he thought of County Magistrate Meng hugging such a big man, he couldn't help but feel nauseous and had goosebumps all over his body.
Ye Xiaotian swallowed his saliva and asked Su Xuntian in a low voice, "Why … why is it a man?"
Su Xuntian covered his mouth and said to Ye Xiaotian, "I also want to disgust him!"
Ye Xiaotian: "…"
Hua Qingfeng looked up at the big man, took two steps back and asked, "You … you're under house arrest by County Magistrate Meng?"
Mao Wenzhi stared at him, "Ang!"
Hua Qingfeng said, "In his cellar?"
Mao Wenzhi: "Ang!"
Hua Qingfeng asked again, "He … locked you up?"
Mao Wenzhi said, "That's nothing. Look, look, my wrists, my ankles, they're all handcuffed and shackled. They're so tight that I can't escape even if I wanted to. Oh, speaking of which, I escaped once eight years ago, but I was caught again. "
Hua Qingfeng asked tentatively, "It's been eight years, he … what did he do to you?"
Mao Wenzhi said, "He even treated me …. Speaking of which, it's really a bitter and tearful experience! Oh my god, I can't even say it out loud. That bastard is too cruel. Anyone who hears it will feel sad and cry. It's too horrible to look at! Big Brother, if you really want to hear it, then I'll have a good chat with you. "
Hua Qingfeng quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I don't want to hear it. Ah! You don't need to say anything, I understand, I understand, I understand! "
Su Xuntian raised his eyebrows at Ye Xiaotian and mouthed, "How is it?"
Ye Xiaotian gave him a thumbs up.
Hua Qingfeng took two steps back in disgust and said, "Hurry, hurry, bring him out."
Su Xuntian hurried over and said to the two bailiffs, "Bring him out!"
Mao Wenzhi glared at him and said, "I haven't said anything yet, why are you chasing me out?"
Su Xuntian glared back and shouted, "Get out!"
Su Xuntian led Mao Wenzhi out of the detention room. Mao Wenzhi couldn't wait and said, "Daren, I didn't have the time to say what you taught me. It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that you didn't give me the chance to say it. You promised me that as long as I listen to you, you'll let me go. Do you still keep your word?"
Su Xuntian smiled and nodded, "Of course I keep my word! Don't worry, once this case is over, I'll immediately let you go! "
Only Ye Xiaotian and Hua Qingfeng were left in the detention room. Magistrate Hua said to Ye Xiaotian, "I really don't understand. You should just peacefully be a fake Warden. Weren't you unwilling to pretend to be one? Why do you want to stir up so much trouble? "
Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice, "There are things that I can't do, but there are things that I must do! Everyone has a line in their heart. If I don't cross that line, I can muddle along, I can be tactful and give in. Once I cross that line, even if I die, I will fight for it! If I don't fight, I will still die, don't you think so? "
Hua Qingfeng fixed his eyes on him. Listening to his words, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, "Where is that line in my heart? When will I touch the line in my heart that makes me want to fight for it even if I have to die? "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Daren?"
Hua Qingfeng shook his head and shook off the distracting thoughts in his heart. He sighed and said, "I can't stop you, I'll let you be. However, don't forget that Qi Mu is still standing behind him. If you arrest the County Magistrate Meng, you will touch the line in Qi Mu's heart! "
Ye Xiaotian smiled calmly and said, "If I touch it, so be it. In fact, it's not a big deal! County Magistrate, you don't always feel that the sky is falling down. Sometimes this feeling is just because … you are standing on the wrong side! "
