The county magistrate Liu Guoan looked at the disgraced Wang Datou and others who were being brought back by the Yamen servants, with a flash of anger in his eyes.
The plan that I worked so hard to make actually failed like this?
If Shen Youwei was not caught, how could he move to Su Cheng and take back those fields?
Without those fields, how can I complete the grain delivery this year?
"Trash, what a bunch of trash!"
Liu Guoan stared at everyone and cursed angrily: "So many people can't catch a woman, why do you think you have the nerve to come back?"
"Why, are you still injured?"
"Humph, you deserve it. More than ten of you arrested a woman. Not only did you not catch her, you were also injured. I feel ashamed for you!"
These words made Wang Captou and others unable to lift their heads.
But they felt aggrieved.
Can you blame them?
No one knew that Shen Youwei's martial arts was so powerful. More than a dozen of them couldn't do anything to each other.
But letting Magistrate Liu continue to scold him was not an option. He had to resolve this matter, right?
Judging from Magistrate Liu's attitude, if he doesn't want to find a way to solve this matter, he will probably scold him endlessly.
Wang Captou rolled his eyes and whispered: "Sir, this matter actually reflects from the side that Shen Youwei is the assassin!"
"Huh? What do you mean by this?" Liu Guoan felt worried and turned to look at Wang Captou.
Wang Captou sneered: "Sir, think about it, how can there be a woman within hundreds of miles around who knows martial arts?"
"Now we have found out that Shen Youwei knows martial arts and is very tall. In addition, her height matches the height of the assassin. This can already classify her as a suspect."
"The government has the right to invite suspects to appear in court for interrogation. Think about it, if the dignified wife of the county magistrate wants to appear in court for interrogation, wouldn't it embarrass Liuhe County Magistrate?"
"In order to prevent his wife from being brought to court for interrogation, the Liuhe County Magistrate will definitely discuss this matter with you, sir."
"Until then, I can't let you make any conditions you want, sir!"
Liu Guoan did so much just to get the rented fields.
Now that we have caught Su Cheng's hand, we can continue to make fuss about this matter.
Although they were unable to confirm that Shen Youwei was the assassin, as long as she was listed as a suspect, they had the right to ask Shen Youwei to come to Xincheng County to appear in court.
The so-called interrogation is an interrogation in public.
In more serious cases, torture can also be used to extract a confession.
A county magistrate's wife was called here for questioning, which must have been a big insult to Su Cheng.
You need to know about interrogation and what methods can be used to interrogate.
Especially for women, there are more means of interrogation.
In this era, as long as a woman enters the county government office and is interrogated, her integrity and reputation will be destroyed.
What's more, Shen Youwei is still the county magistrate's wife, which will have an even greater impact on her.
"this……"
Liu Guoan narrowed his eyes and thought it was a good idea.
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
With a cold look in his eyes, Liu Guoan stared at Wang Captou and others: "Huh, although the plan is good, but you can't even catch her, how can you ask her to come here for trial?"
"What if she ignores the county's order and ignores it, what can we do to her?"
The idea is ideal, but the reality is very skinny.
Shen Youwei's martial arts skills are so high, but she ignores their orders, what can they do?
"Hey, this is better!"
Wang Captou chuckled: "If she really dares to disobey the government's order, it means that she has a guilty conscience, which further confirms her identity as an assassin."
"By then, even Su Cheng can't save her."
"However, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, you must first report the matter to the prefect and obtain his permission before taking action."
With the prefect's permission, if Shen Youwei did not come to court, the crime would be serious.
Even if Su Cheng were the county magistrate, he would not be able to protect Shen Youwei in this matter.
Liu Guoan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"With the order from the prefect, let's see what Su Cheng does!"
Liu Guoan's face turned red with excitement and he started pacing back and forth.
During this period, he was suppressed terribly by Su Cheng.
Whether he was assassinated by Shen Youwei, had his land rented by Su Cheng, or was thrown out of the county government office by Su Cheng, all these made him lose face.
Now that he has finally caught Su Cheng's hand, he will naturally not let go so easily.
"Very good, this county will write a letter to the prefect now, and you will send someone to deliver the letter to the prefect overnight!"
Just do it!
Liu Guoan walked to the side of the case, wrote quickly, and soon wrote a letter.
The letter stated that Shen Youwei was the most likely person to assassinate him, and asked the prefect to allow him to bring Shen Youwei to court for interrogation.
Wang Captou took the letter and immediately sent someone to Jiangzhou.
Liu Guoan looked at the messenger's leaving figure with a sneer on his lips.
In order to save Shen Youwei, Su Cheng would definitely take the initiative to negotiate with him.
At that time, even if he opened his mouth like a lion, Su Cheng would have to agree.
Aren't you Su Cheng very powerful? Didn't you help Liuhe County survive the drought and have a bumper grain harvest?
Humph, this time not only do you have to spit out those fields, but you are also asked to separate more than half of the grain.
All the efforts you make will become Liu Guoan's treasure.
Although I didn't cope well with the drought, if I got most of the food in Liuhe County, it wouldn't be a problem.
Although I am incompetent, I can still get the food in Su Cheng's hands.
Maybe this time I can use this food to get promoted and make a fortune.
Wasn’t Wang Defa, the former magistrate of Liuhe County, promoted because of this incident?
"Haha, Su Cheng, you really married a good wife!"
Liu Guoan laughed and said: "This time, you can't escape from the hands of this county, hahahaha!"
The laughter spread far in this quiet night, waking up the residents around the county government office.
Uninformed residents thought their county magistrate was crazy!
Liu Guoan was so excited that he drank several drinks that night, waiting for the prefect's instructions to threaten Su Cheng.
The night passed without incident, and the time soon came to the next morning.
Su Cheng woke up from the tent, looked at his wife who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and couldn't help but shake his head.
How has my wife, a rich young lady, ever slept in a place like this? If there is a chance, I still have to persuade her to go back.
He has several places to go next, and it will take at least ten days to go back, but he cannot let his wife suffer with him.
While Su Cheng was deep in thought, Shen Youwei, who was being stared at, seemed to notice something. Her beautiful eyes moved slowly, as if she wanted to wake up but didn't dare to.
This early in the morning, I was sleeping in Su Cheng's arms. I was so embarrassed!
This guy Su Cheng is really not leaving yet!
If you don't leave, you will have no choice but to pretend to be asleep!
