Shen Yingying shone a flashlight on the dog magistrate's face.
The dog magistrate immediately covered his eyes when he was exposed to the bright light.
Shen Yingying looked at the unlucky magistrate with a hint of schadenfreude.
Who told this corrupt magistrate to exploit the people and do such inhumane things?
Shen Yingying continued to shine her flashlight on the treasure in the secret room.
When the dog magistrate saw Shen Yingying shining a flashlight into the secret room, he was so frightened that he ignored the pain and jumped up and pounced on a small box.
Shen Yingying saw that the county magistrate was risking his own safety to retrieve the small box, and she was certain that something fishy was going on inside.
She took two quick steps, grabbed the magistrate by the collar, and lifted the dog, which weighed about 300 pounds.
"You son of a bitch, what are you doing with this box?"
Is there something fishy going on?
The dog-like magistrate was lifted up but didn't care. Even as he was being dragged around, his face turned red and his neck bulged as he desperately tried to open the box.
Seeing his reckless attitude, Shen Yingying waved her hand and threw him to the ground.
He reached out and snatched the box that the dog-like magistrate was opening.
The box was opened, and the dog-like magistrate became furious. He lunged at Shen Yingying, ready to snatch it away.
How about learning about the Strength-based system?
Shen Yingying gave him a light kick, and the damn magistrate fell flat on his face again.
This time, the old man was kicked so hard he couldn't stand up straight.
The dog-like magistrate, resigned to his fate, lay on the ground like a dead dog.
Lying on the ground, he muttered to himself, "It's over, everything is over."
Shen Yingying ignored the corrupt magistrate and looked to see what was inside the box.
What could possibly make the dog-like magistrate so desperate to seize it?
She shone a flashlight into the box.
The box contained several account books and more than ten letters.
There were a few fine jade pendants worn by other men, but the rest were silver notes.
Shen Yingying opened an account book and flipped through it.
After Shen Yingying finished flipping through an account book, she followed Ouyang Yuqing and said, "Hehe, I was just saying that this corrupt official would risk his life to snatch this box."
Here is evidence of his embezzlement and bribery; take a look at it.
After she finished speaking, she handed the box to Ouyang Yuqing.
Shen Yingying had no intention of storing the treasures in the study into her spatial storage.
She planned to exchange the silver for supplies to distribute to the poor.
Besides, if everything is stored in the spatial storage, how can we use it to prove this corrupt official's innocence?
She gave all the account books to Ouyang Yuqing, and Shen Yingying took a few steps forward and beat up the Pingyuan County Magistrate.
Suddenly, screams and pleas for mercy erupted from the dark room of the study.
Shen Yingying had been feeling frustrated lately, and the corrupt magistrate just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This beating almost cost the old man his life.
Half a life? That's wishful thinking.
The corrupt county magistrate, who had been brutally beaten by Shen Yingying, was now unconscious.
The faint breathing proved that the dog magistrate was still alive.
Shen Yingying dragged him to the study floor like a dead dog.
Ouyang Yuqing also left the secret room carrying the box.
He took the box and sat down in the study chair to examine the account books and secret letters.
After reading the secret letter and account books in the box, Ouyang Yuqing slammed her hand on the table.
He cursed, "You dog! How dare a mere eighth-rank county magistrate be so arrogant!"
Unexpectedly, the family this scoundrel serves is the maternal family of Consort Rong.
Did he know that Consort Rong had one son and two daughters?
"Heh, is this a rebellion or a coercion of the emperor to command the feudal lords?"
Ouyang Yuqing held up a secret letter and waved it in front of Shen Yingying.
"Yingying! I never expected the Rong family to be so arrogant."
They've actually been keeping private armies in multiple locations; their ambitions are obvious!
This bastard is just one of their pawns.
"Keep a private army? How many, and where?"
Shen Yingying never expected that a mere county magistrate would keep a private army.
When Ouyang Yuqing heard that his wife was eager to hear the answer, he didn't keep her in suspense.
He said to Shen Yingying, "That bastard is keeping his private army deep in Tiger Roar Mountain."
He disguised his private soldiers as bandits and robbed and plundered everywhere.
