The county magistrate returned all the gifts his brother-in-law had given him to the Shen family, and then gave his brother-in-law a thousand taels of silver. "Tell Yun Xiaoliu that you will never dare to do it again."
"Okay. Brother-in-law, I'm off then."
"Go quickly."
After returning the remaining items to Shen Tengwen, the county magistrate's brother-in-law gave him 1,500 taels of silver. After giving it to him, he told Sisi that he would never dare to abuse his position as county magistrate again.
Sisi summoned a guard. "Go and find out what other heinous things he's done."
"yes."
bump!
The county magistrate's brother-in-law knelt at Sisi's feet. "Miss Yun, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again. Miss Yun, please forgive me."
Sisi glanced at him sideways. "Whether I can spare you or not, we'll talk about it after I've investigated."
After saying that, Sisi looked at Shen Tengwen. "Uncle Shen, now that you have money, can you treat me to drinks at the best restaurant around here?"
The county magistrate's brother-in-law: "..." So you helped him collect the debt just so he would invite you to a restaurant for drinks?!
Shen Tengwen: "That's fine, thank you."
"You're welcome. Let's go have a drink."
"good."
The county magistrate quickly learned that so many people had suddenly arrived in the county town. He then guessed that it was Sisi.
As soon as Sisi and her party arrived at the restaurant, the county magistrate came looking for them. He also brought a group of yamen runners with him.
The magistrate was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. "Hello, are you Miss Yun Liu?"
"Um."
Do you have any proof?
Sisi glanced at the magistrate. "What would you do if I said I didn't?"
"I will ask someone who knows you to come and see you."
Not too stupid. "I thought you were going to say you'd throw me in jail. Sit down."
"Thank you. Your credentials?"
Sisi took out the token Ning Yirong had given her. "Are you relieved now?"
"I'm relieved."
"Is this your first time being an official?"
"Yes." The magistrate returned the plaque to Sisi. "How did you know?"
Sisi looked at the magistrate and said, "You don't even know what your men have done."
The magistrate: "...What did my men do?"
Old Bai: "How do you know he doesn't know? He might be in cahoots with those people."
Sisi: "Apart from the officials in the capital, all other officials were selected by the Crown Prince." It's impossible for the people that guy selected to become corrupt officials in such a short time.
Old Bai: "You really trust that guy that much?"
The magistrate asked, "What have my men been doing?"
