After a few glasses of wine, Sui Chaoyun suddenly became interested and ordered the people waiting on the side:

"Go and call Magistrate Zhang!"

After a while, Magistrate Zhang arrived at the meeting hall. When he saw that Sui Chaoyun and Shi Yuanhai were changing cups and cups, they were not dealing with official business as the person who informed them said. He couldn't help but feel angry and cursed secretly in his heart.

Seeing Magistrate Zhang come in, Shi Yuanhai immediately wanted to stand up to greet him. But just as he was halfway up, Sui Chaoyun pushed him down again.

Sui Chaoyun pointed to a chair not far away near the door, and said to Magistrate Zhang with a smile: "Master Zhang, please sit down for a moment. Sui and his former classmates have not seen each other for many years. Let's have a few glasses of wine and a few gossips to catch up on old times. We will talk in a while.

good!"

Magistrate Zhang said: "There is no rush, Mr. Sui, please use it slowly!"

Sui Chaoyun said calmly: "Why don't you put down the bowls and chopsticks? How about Mr. Zhang having a few drinks with us?"

"No, Zhang just finished eating, so I don't want to disturb Mr. Sui and reminisce with his classmates."

"That's fine! Mr. Zhang, please help yourself." After saying that, Sui Chaoyun ordered the attendants on the side: "Serve Mr. Zhang some tea!"

Magistrate Zhang scolded the eighth generation of Sui Chaoyun's ancestors in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and did not show any dissatisfaction.

In fact, the reason why Magistrate Zhang did this was because he had no choice but to do so.

Although they are both in the fifth rank, Sui Chaoyun belongs to the capital official, and is an official of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, which is responsible for the assessment and selection of officials. What's more, when Sui Chaoyun came to Ngee An this time, the official document of the Ministry of Personnel stated

He was clearly required to obey Sui Chaoyun's arrangements and dispatches. Therefore, Magistrate Zhang had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Sui Chaoyun continued to drink and chat with Shi Yuanhai, and deliberately said loudly:

"Brother, you have to change your temper! You have to learn to be more diplomatic. A straightforward temper is the easiest to hurt others. It's okay if you hurt a gentleman, but once you hurt a villain, you will inevitably suffer a loss!"

Shi Yuanhai said cooperatively: "Thank you for your teaching, brother. I will be careful in my behavior from now on."

Sui Chaoyun sighed and said, "Brother, how long have you been here in Ngee Ann? Someone accused you of colluding with thugs and running rampant in the countryside. They also said that you extorted bribes and exploited the squires! You must know that you will be imprisoned.

What a sin!"

Shi Yuanhai sighed: "Hey, it is said that people's words are terrible, so why bother to accuse them?"

Magistrate Zhang was already very angry, but when he heard Sui and Shi singing in harmony, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up suddenly and said bitterly:

"Sir Sui, there is no need to make insinuations. The impeachment report for Shi Yuanhai was written by Zhang. Shi Yuanhai has committed many evil deeds and is not a false accusation by me. Please be aware of this, Mr. Sui!"

Magistrate Zhang was preparing to confront Sui Chaoyun tit for tat, but he did not expect that Sui Chaoyun actually smiled and said to him pleasantly: "Master Zhang, please be patient! Since you said it was not a false accusation, I will believe you for once. It is just a word of mouth."

It’s unfounded, I wonder what evidence Mr. Zhang has?”

"This..." Magistrate Zhang hesitated secretly, because apart from the one-sided words of Duan Gang, the head of the Duan family, he really had no other evidence in his hand.

Seeing that Magistrate Zhang was hesitant and silent, Sui Chaoyun's face darkened and he said, "Why, there is no evidence?"

In order to cope with the unfavorable situation at hand, Magistrate Zhang had no choice but to say: "Although there is no physical evidence, I have witnesses!"

Sui Chaoyun couldn't help but ask: "Where is the witness? And who is it?"

"The witness is in Nghe An. He is Duan Gang, a local wealthy gentleman in Nghe An."

Sui Chaoyun said "Oh" with a slight disappointment, because his original plan was to find out the whereabouts of Mo Jian. He was afraid that Mo Jian would fall into the hands of Magistrate Zhang and take away his credit in front of the eldest prince. Although he was a little disappointed

, but Sui Chaoyun thought again:

"Duan Gang can also do it. I just found the evidence that you were bribed by Duan Gang. This can also help His Highness the First Prince to clean up your rip-off. Although it is not a great achievement, it is still a credit."

Thinking of this, Sui Chaoyun put down his wine glass, stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, since I have made it clear, I might as well tell you the truth. I am here under the entrustment of His Highness the First Prince and Mr. Wu Ge.

I’m here to try the case of Ishihara Hai! Someone is here!”

Immediately, someone came forward to obey the order. Sui Chaoyun ordered: "Rise to the throne immediately!"

The man agreed and turned around to run to the county government hall.

Magistrate Zhang was a little panicked. He didn't expect Sui Chaoyun to be serious about it, and he didn't expect that the eldest prince and Mr. Wu Ge were sitting behind Shi Yuanhai. These were secondary, and Magistrate Zhang knew who the governor was relying on.

It was obvious. If the eldest prince really found out about his relationship with the Duan family, how would he be able to survive?

So, he immediately stopped the official who was about to go to the county government hall: "Wait a minute!"

As expected, the official stopped and turned to look at Sui Chaoyun.

Magistrate Zhang did not wait for Sui Chaoyun to speak, he immediately stepped forward and bowed and said:

"Sir Sui, I did not intend to prevent you from going to court to resolve the case, but it happened in a hurry. Please think again! In addition, I have some evidence that has been left in Anzhou Mansion. If I can trust you, I can go with you tomorrow."

When we get to Anzhou Prefecture, I will present the evidence to you!" Magistrate Zhang has already changed his name to "Xiaguan".

Sui Chaoyun couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What evidence is it? If you use any excuse to delay, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shi Yuanhai also looked at Magistrate Zhang in confusion.

I saw Magistrate Zhang stepping forward and almost touching Sui Chaoyun face to face. Sui Chaoyun was startled and was about to step back when he suddenly heard Magistrate Zhang whisper two words in his ear: "Silver!"

Sui Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It is indeed good evidence. However, although this evidence is good, it can't explain anything. I have already investigated what Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shi did in Nghe An.

To be clear, it is said that the person who can untie the bell must also tie the bell. What do you think of Mr. Shi's position as county magistrate?" The meaning of the words is self-evident.

How can Magistrate Zhang be a fool? He immediately said in succession: "It must have been the section that just deceived the official and wronged Mr. Shi. The official was wrong. He should have known his mistake and corrected it! The official immediately drafted an announcement to inform the people of Ngee An

, Master Shi will be reinstated as county magistrate immediately, and from today onwards, he will be back in charge of Ngee Ann government affairs!"

Sui Chaoyun chuckled and said: "Of course it is! Since Mr. Zhang knows his mistakes and can correct them, then I will have an explanation for His Highness the eldest prince and Mr. Wu Ge after I go back! As for the announcement? It doesn't hurt to write it down later. Come on, come on.

, let’s sit down and have a few drinks together. To see Sui’s face, you can help County Magistrate Shi and settle the previous grudges.”

Magistrate Zhang said repeatedly: "It should, it should!"

Sui Chaoyun turned to Shi Yuanhai and said: "Brother, please raise your glass! Congratulations to my dear brother for redressing his injustice and being successfully reinstated!"
