Chang'an County Government Office.
Wu Daji led Zhuang Zhou and Zhao Qing directly to the lobby.
This was Zhuang Zhou’s first time seeing an ancient yamen.
How to say it?
I still have some feelings about it.
Zhuang Zhou is looking at it!
Then a middle-aged man in official uniform came out and sat down in the hall.
"Who are these people in the hall?"
Wu Daji hurriedly bowed and said:
"Sir Wu, this man is Zhuang Zhou. Zhao Qing came to report the crime today, accusing Zhuang Zhou of assaulting him. Your subordinates have arrested Zhuang Zhou and brought him to the palace for questioning."
"Oh! Is that so?"
Chang'an County Magistrate Wu Youzhi actually knew the reason for this incident a long time ago.
I'm just asking this now just to go through the motions.
Zhao Qing also jumped out at this time:
"County Magistrate Wu, Zhuang Zhou beat my nephew without any reason. Will you stand up for me?"
Good job!
My nephew has also come out.
This is happening in court, and we are establishing kinship in public!
"County Magistrate Wu, that's not what happened. It was this Zhao Qing who brought people to my shop and smashed the merchandise. They even tried to bully the female employees. I was desperate and took action to protect myself."
Zhuang Zhou also began to defend himself.
But who knew that this had just been said.
Zhao Qing flatly denied it:
"Mr. Zhuang, you're talking nonsense. It's obvious that you attacked me because I said your things were too expensive and you're holding a grudge against me."
As he spoke, the terrifying feeling of being attacked by electric current came back to him, making Zhao Qing shudder.
"Also, Magistrate Wu, this Zhuang Zhou also possesses magical powers. You should quickly lock him up and interrogate him strictly."
The two of them argued back and forth for several sentences.
But what Zhuang Zhou didn't expect was that Zhao Qing was actually lying with his eyes open.
Confusing right and wrong, completely disregarding everything.
This guy is a complete scoundrel!
"Bang~~~"
A gavel slammed heavily on the desk.
"Alright! Stop arguing!"
Wu Youzhi stroked his beard and said loudly:
"I have investigated this matter thoroughly. It is exactly as Zhao Qing said. It is clearly Zhuang Zhou who harbored a grudge and murdered Young Master Zhao in broad daylight. If I do not punish him severely, how can I report this to the court? Come on! Start with twenty strokes of the cane."
After saying that, he winked at Zhao Qing.
Zhuang Zhou felt a chill in his heart. What a fucking dog official!
It’s terrible!
It seems that I have been forced to this point today.
"Master Wu, I have something to say."
At this time, Wu Daji stood up.
Wu Youzhi squinted at him and asked impatiently:
"What do you want to say, Captain Wu?"
Wu Daji strode with his head held high and said:
"Sir, there are still many doubts in this matter that have not been clarified. If torture is used, wouldn't it be a violation of the law? I am afraid that if the news gets out, it will affect your reputation."
Zhuang Zhou could tell that this guy was very smart.
He did not confront his boss directly, but found a very tactful way of saying it.
It seems that this person has some justice.
They are not all from the same nest.
"Captain Wu, you are just an official in the government office. Just follow my orders. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility. It is not your turn to say anything more."
Wu Daji said, "If that's the case, please forgive me for not taking action."
"Asshole!"
Wu Youzhi said this angrily, and then slammed the gavel again, and immediately shouted:
"Captain Wu, don't think you can disrespect the law just because you have an uncle looking after you at court. If you don't punish this man today, I will remove you from your position as captain."
Wu Daji heard this, but his expression remained calm:
Although he was able to get the position of captain of the Chang'an County Government, it was still his uncle who took care of him.
But as the county magistrate, Wu Youzhi did have the right to directly dismiss him.
"Sir, if an official cannot distinguish right from wrong, then I don't want to be a captain."
"Okay, okay, Wu Daji, I think you really don't want to do this job anymore!"
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Zhou hurriedly bowed and said:
"County Magistrate Wu, I've made this matter very clear. It was Zhao Qing who caused trouble in my shop first, and I acted in self-defense afterwards. So please investigate the truth and don't blindly believe Zhao Qing's one-sided statement."
Wu Youzhi frowned slightly. He thought Zhuang Zhou would be so scared that he would kowtow and beg for mercy.
After all, this guy is just a businessman.
But unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhou remained so calm and didn't even beg for mercy.
He looked at Zhao Qing, who was looking at Zhuang Zhou with a smug look on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of Zhuang Zhou being punished.
Wu Youzhi sighed inwardly, he naturally knew what kind of person Zhao Qing was.
If it weren't for his father, a sixth-rank official, who had given him a heads-up, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this idiot.
But there is no way!
The magistrate of Chang'an County was a seventh-rank official, and as the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official.
Since Zhuang Zhou came from a merchant family, naturally they had to take action against him.
Stroking his beard again, Wu Youzhi winked at the yamen runner beside him:
"You guys do it!"
"yes."
After receiving the signal, the two yamen runners walked over and prepared to pin Zhuang Zhou to the ground.
But who knows.
At this time, Zhuang Zhou actually shook his head at them, signaling them not to take action.
Then he looked at Wu Youzhi in the hall and said:
"Master Wu, are you sure you really want to hit me?"
Wu Youzhi was stunned!
What is going on?
Could it be that Zhuang Zhou also has a background?
But according to his investigation, this guy is a complete white person!
