This will make him nervous and flustered, causing him to lose his composure. In that case, we won't need to actively continue the investigation; he will naturally reveal more and more problems. Do you understand what I mean?
The magistrate wasn't stupid, but what Zhu Yunwen said was indeed too profound, causing him to frown and think for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the key point.
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath. He felt that this county magistrate was a promising talent, so he continued to explain to him:
"If I hadn't revealed this information today, would the case still have remained stagnant? Even after I revealed the information, if you continued to investigate using your own methods, it would still be very difficult to uncover anything, wouldn't it?"
The magistrate thought carefully and nodded, saying:
"Indeed, Old Master Sun is meticulous in his work. Even though we made him a little flustered today, it will still be difficult for him to find more evidence in this matter."
Zhu Yunwen said, "Then let me ask you again, now that my conversation has made him so anxious and nervous, and so unable to see through me, does he think that I have a lot of evidence against him?"
The magistrate spoke up: "That's right. Besides, shouldn't Your Highness possess some evidence? Otherwise, how would you know that this matter is related to the beggar?"
Zhu Yunwen: "I only found out by accident, and I have no evidence to show for it. Even if I did have evidence, they would stubbornly deny it, and there would be nothing I could do."
So under these circumstances, we still couldn't do anything to him. However, after today's conversation, my confident departure made him think that I must know a lot.
My words were filled with unbridled sarcasm and mockery, which only made him more convinced that I had evidence against him. As a result, he would be eager to distance himself from what he had done in the past.
In this way, he will take some actions and do some things to cover up his past deeds. In doing these things, he will reveal some clues.
If a person does something wrong and then does nothing, it's actually harder for their wrongdoing to be exposed. However, if they do something wrong and then try to cover it up with other things out of fear of being discovered, that's a different story.
Then the flaws and loopholes will only grow larger and larger. There's a saying that goes something like this: if you do one bad thing or tell one lie, you have to use countless other things and countless lies to cover it up.
The more you do, the more flaws you reveal. With so many things done, there's bound to be one thing that easily exposes a weakness.
So let's wait and see. I've left him with so much suspense today, making him so nervous. He'll inevitably do more to try and cover up what happened before.
We just need to keep an eye on him and find loopholes in his actions; those will become the evidence to bring him down.
After hearing this, the magistrate suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock.
He never expected that the young man in front of him would have such a deep understanding of human nature and such keen intelligence.
Not only did they completely outmaneuver that old fox, Mr. Sun, but they also anticipated what he was about to do.
The magistrate was relieved. He thought that since Zhu Yunwen was so capable, the problem here could probably be solved.
Now that Zhu Yunwen's identity has been made public, he moved directly into the county government office.
Zhu Yunwen then told the county magistrate to prepare some good food to entertain him in the next two days.
We also need to eat and drink well.
The county magistrate already knew Zhu Yunwen's intentions and plans. Zhu Yunwen did this to make Old Master Sun feel that Zhu Yunwen's relaxed demeanor meant he must have already secured his position and resolved some issues.
That's why he was able to relax so much, which made Old Sun even more nervous and conflicted, leading him to do other things and reveal his weakness.
So, over the next few days, the magistrate prepared a lot of local delicacies and specialties to entertain Zhu Yunwen.
Don't let the small size of this place fool you, the food is really good.
Over the course of a few days, Zhu Yunwen enjoyed the food and the games.
Many of the constables, yamen runners, and clerks in the county government were Sun Lao's henchmen.
They quickly reported the situation to Elder Sun.
The Sun family had been living in fear for the past few days. When Old Master Sun learned that Zhu Yunwen had been very relaxed these past few days and had not been worrying about the sweet potatoes, his face quickly showed an even more worried expression.
