Chapter 386: Once he gets wise, he becomes a ruthless person
Lin Diao turned around and looked at him when he heard the voice.
"The boss is not here, I can't make the decision. I'll wait until my brother comes back."
"no!"
Lin Diao was so angry that he laughed, "Master Yu, if this matter is disclosed at all, my worthless life will be worthless, but the prosperity of your family may not be guaranteed."
After saying that, without waiting for him to stop him, he shouted back, "Go back to the mountain!"
The Yu family only had one carriage and a few people. Master Yu watched them retreat with a gloomy face.
Yu Song stood aside, not knowing what to say, and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After a long time, he suddenly heard his brother sneer.
"Lin Diao, that bastard, is really too powerful. He dares to get his hands on anyone's things."
Yu Song was smart enough to keep silent.

The fact that the Erjiang River froze overnight could not be concealed.
In less than an hour, the news spread like wildfire, from the mouths of people entering the city from outside, throughout Yucheng and even reached the ears of Feng Chen, the magistrate of Yucheng.
I was busy all night last night and only took a short nap in the second half of the night. Before I had enough sleep, I was shocked by the news brought in by the yamen runner Cao Qi!
Before I even finished putting on my shoes, I heard a series of noises outside.
Feng Chen was confused.
"What happened?"
Cao Qi stood by, looking embarrassed and not knowing how to explain.
Feng Chen was startled and quickly put on his clothes, buttoning them while asking questions.
"Why are you hesitating? Why not tell me the truth? Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for me to prepare myself mentally if you tell me the truth?"
Cao Qi thought about it and realized that he had not done what the adults said.
Only then did he tell the reason for the commotion outside. In fact, for Feng Chen, this was really like waking up from a bad night to find himself faced with an unexpected disaster.
The Nar River had frozen over in winter before, but this time something strange had happened and everyone put all the blame on Feng Chen, the new county magistrate.
Some even said that this was a punishment from heaven. The water in Erjiang River had frozen before, but it had never changed overnight!
Qingzhou Prefecture is not the cold and desolate place in the north. How could God become angry overnight!
The reason is that the new county magistrate has no moral integrity!
The county magistrate is so immoral as a government official that even God can't stand it. It's only the beginning of winter and the river is frozen. This natural phenomenon is so strange that if things go wrong, there will be a famine next year!
Whose reason?
This is a good thing done by the unethical County Magistrate Feng Chen!
After hearing this big hat being put on Feng Chen, he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, he almost wanted to kick the wall!
Cao Qi held him back, "Sir! You absolutely cannot go out now!"
Feng Chen pointed at the drumbeats outside the county government office, his eyes red as he said anxiously, "They are slandering me! They don't want me, Feng Chen, to live!"
Cao Qi held him tightly, his expression serious, saying, "Sir, you must not act rashly. It is difficult for you to escape from the bad reputation you once had and become corrupt. I know you are determined to serve the people, so how can you easily get involved?"
When things got to this point, even Feng Chen couldn't help but look at him seriously twice.
Although he was furious, the words of the yamen runner Cao Qi finally calmed Feng Chen down a lot.
His chest was filled with anger, and since he couldn't go out, he could only pace back and forth in the room. When a doorman came to ask for instructions, he was scared away by Feng Chen's words "Get out".
There were no more outsiders around, and Feng Chen calmed down a lot.
He raised his eyes and stared at Cao Qi: "You are willing to persuade me now, why didn't you lend me a hand before?"
Cao Qi was helpless and sighed.
"You are weak and powerless, your words carry little weight, and it's hard for you to protect yourself. How dare a villain add fuel to the fire?"
Feng Chen felt a surge of anger rising up again, causing his chest to heave up and down.
Ouch! I feel so uncomfortable and want to hit someone.
Cao Qi was silent for a moment, then said sincerely, "These past few days, I've seen your tireless efforts and courage, and I truly admire you. I just wanted to remind you not to fall into their trap."
Feng Chen knew who was right and who was wrong, so he paused and asked, "But once the drum is played, I will definitely go to court to judge the case."
Cao Qi smiled and asked, "Why don't you pretend to be sick, sir?"
Feng Chen was stunned: "???"
"Your Excellency had a dream a few days ago. It was snowing heavily. For the safety of the people inside and outside Yucheng, I requested the help of the escorts from the capital. I prayed all night long, and since then the snow has turned to ice. Although it has been detrimental to river transportation, the people are safe. However, Your Excellency has taken the punishment from heaven and fallen ill."
Feng Chen was shocked:!!!
"Will this work?"
"Why not?" Cao Qi asked, "Sir, have you forgotten? Among the fugitives escorted by Lord Xiong, there is indeed a person with a fairy allusion! Yesterday, you invited Lord Xiong to your house, and the news has already spread. You don't think that others don't know that you want to borrow troops, right?"
Feng Chen gritted his teeth secretly.
Cao Qi poured a glass of water to calm Feng Chen down.
"The Xie family rumors are known to the people of Yucheng. Since you're friends with Lord Xiong, why not borrow some of the Xie family's former power? My Lord, this opportunity is fleeting. You can't take the punishment of heaven for granted; it's punishable by death. Now is the perfect time to meet a godlike person and encounter a godlike event. Others are using this opportunity to frame you, framing you in an unkind and unjust manner. Why don't you use this opportunity to turn the tables and escape?"
Feng Chen's eyes lit up.
"How precious are the hearts of the people, sir. Misfortune often brings blessings. Perhaps, once this calamity is over, your wishes will come true!"
Feng Chen's heart was moved, but there was a struggle in his eyes and a hint of concern.
"But as the sages said, a gentleman should be cautious when alone..."
Cao Qi looked at him calmly until Feng Chen could no longer continue.
Feng Chen was silent for a while and decided to give up.
"When it comes to working for the benefit of the people, how can I, Feng Chen, only care about my own innocence and associate with wolves? How can I stick to the old ways?"
Feng Chen, who finally figured it out, patted Cao Qi on the shoulder.
"Please ask Sergeant Cao to inform Convict Xiong and then ask Doctor Lu to come to the county government office."
"Yes! Sir, I will go and get Doctor Lu right away! Sir, please hold on."
Feng Chen nodded heavily.
Afterwards, the master and servant split up into two groups. Feng Chen went first to write a letter of apology, then he suddenly opened the door to the back house and stood shirtless at the sealed door to blow the wind. He was both cruel and crazy. He felt that the wind was not cold enough, so he poured cold water on himself to continue suffering.
By the time Xiong Jiushan received the news and Lu Hongwen was invited to the Yucheng County Government Office, the County Magistrate Feng Chen had already begun to feel dizzy and disoriented. He felt as if his body was in the six realms and his spirit was floating outside the five elements.
Cao Qi, who had just returned from his errand, was horrified!
He asked the adults to pretend to be sick, but they are not really sick!
Lu Hongwen was hurriedly summoned and was horrified by the scene. He turned around and couldn't help scolding Cao Qi: "The master is already so ill, and you just called me! You—ah!"
It’s important to save people first.
Cao Qi stood aside, feeling helpless and speechless.
Lu Hongwen felt Feng Chen's pulse and checked his condition. Seeing Feng Chen's condition, he turned around and took out two pills of the "magic medicine" that Xie Yuchuan had given him from his medicine box and fed them to County Magistrate Feng Chen.
Then find pen and ink to write a prescription.
On the bed, Feng Chen struggled to open his eyes. With the last shred of consciousness he had left, he raised his hand to remind Cao Qi: "On the table...post the notice...post it!"
After saying this, the man fainted from the heat.
Xie Yuchuan woke up from a light nap, and after listening to what Xiong Jiushan relayed, he felt refreshed.
He was speechless for a long time before he found his voice again.
"Once this scholar gets wise, he'll be terrifying."
"He's a ruthless person."
