The officers all looked at Constable Yuan and lowered their heads.
Chen Yongnian then looked at Constable Yuan and suddenly smiled, "Sorry, Constable Yuan, I didn't notice you were here!"
Constable Yuan clenched his teeth, wanting to curse, but dared not.
Who is Chen Yongnian?
He was a favorite of the county magistrate.
He was also a close confidant of the county magistrate.
If we're talking about the government offices, besides the three officials appointed by the imperial court, who is the one you absolutely shouldn't mess with?
That leaves only Chen Yongnian!
No one expected that Chen Yongnian, a country bumpkin, would now be doing so well in the county government.
No matter who sees him, they all have to give him some face.

They took away Constable Yuan's knife and treated him like a prisoner.
Officer Yuan never expected Chen Yongnian to be so disrespectful to him.
With red eyes, he glared at Chen Yongnian and gritted his teeth, saying, "Chen Yongnian, you dare to touch me?"
"I've already made my move? So what?" Chen Yongnian pulled an arrest warrant from his pocket. "I'm here on Lord Xie's orders to take you back for investigation. Do you have any objections?"
