Xingyuan County Government Office, above the court.

The magistrate Liu Shiqing looked at Zhao Yan and asked, "June Yan, I call you here to ask about the fact that you gathered people to fight in Yunling Village yesterday. I heard that you had caused hundreds of servants to hurt hundreds of people, which caused serious consequences to the lives of the surrounding villagers. Are you guilty?"

After saying this, Liu Shiqing felt a little fainted in his heart.

Zhao Yan looked up, glanced at Liu Shiqing, and said in a plain tone: "Minister Liu, there was indeed this incident yesterday, but the crime was not on me. It was the Cui family who led a hundred servants to find trouble. I was just defending myself."

"Bang!"

Liu Shiqing picked up the gavel and patted it hard, which immediately strengthened himself with courage and momentum.

"You still dare to argue? Do you know that yesterday, the medical shops in Xingyuan County were all full. Just because you treated the people you were injured, you kept saying that you were in self-defense, why didn't your people get hurt at all? I see that this matter is entirely because you sent someone to provoke the court's laws!" Liu Shiqing said with his eyes wide open.

Zhao Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Magistrate, I doubt that you have bought this position now. How can you speak without any logic? My people are not injured because they are strong and have nothing to do with provoking provocation. Have you ever seen more than 30 people provoking more than 100 people, and those more than 100 people were called to the other party's yard and beaten?"

Liu Shiqing was stunned and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

He also knew that he was making up the reasons, but if Zhao Yan was not charged, he would not be able to detain the latter.

"I'm talking nonsense. I say you're guilty, you're guilty. Come on, I'll put the two of them in prison temporarily. I'll find evidence to be tried again!" Liu Shiqing couldn't say that Zhao Yan could only speak so roughly.

"Slow down!"

"Minister Liu, you can see one thing first. It's not too late to put me and the other two in jail after reading it!"

After saying that, Zhao Yan looked at Heiwa.

Heiwa immediately understood and immediately took out a hard-shell paper seal from her arms and handed it to Liu Shiqing.

Liu Shiqing looked suspicious and opened the document and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yan Zhao, the New Political Inspector, is the fifth-rank deputy chief."

He is several grades higher than his magistrate!

The New Policy Inspector was an official position specially established by Zhao Yan before leaving Changdan. The purpose was to allow more Beijing officials to participate in the New Policy reform and fulfill their supervision responsibilities.

Liu Shiqing carefully checked the marks on it and found that it was indeed left by the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, and such marks cannot be faked at all.

Zhao Yan looked at him with a contempt and murmured in his heart: Can you tell the official fraud?

"Master... Sir, it's the fault of the official, I'll compensate you!" Liu Shiqing changed his face in an instant, and his flattering smile made Zhao Yan just want to slap him.

Liu Shiqing walked down, bent down and looked at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan thrust his chest and said, "I am on a tour in a very low-end tour. Don't disclose my identity. If there is any need, I will definitely come to you!"

"The subordinate official obeys the order and will not spread the identity of the inspector."

Zhao Yan nodded, and then walked out with Heiwa swagger.

After walking out of the county government office, Heiwa asked in confusion: "Young Master, he really won't reveal your identity?"

Zhao Yan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Let's go forward, and he will report to the Cui family. I want to see what the Cui family will do next?"

As Zhao Yan expected, as soon as he walked out of the county government, Liu Shiqing went to Cui's house in a sedan chair from the back door.

...

Cui Family Hall.

The five brothers of the Cui family, Fan Tianlong, the eldest son of the Fan family, and Liu Shiqing, the magistrate of Xingyuan County, gathered together.

"What? That Yan Zhao is actually the fifth-rank New Policy Inspector? We are making a big fuss now," said the third son of the Cui family with a depressed look on his face.

Not only did he gather his servants to depose Yan Zhao, but he also asked the other party to rob him of his private crossbow. Both of these crimes were enough to make him sit in the prison.

The third son of the Cui family stood up and said, "How about this. I will apologize to the couple whose son died tomorrow, repair the papermaking workshop, and give him another 10,000 taels of silver notes. I don't believe it. He will not be moved when he sees the silver notes!"

Boss Cui shook his head slightly and said, "Although I have never seen this person, when I hear his deeds, I know that he is arrogant and not a good person. Maybe he is a stupid official who only loves fame but not money. It is not easy to conquer with silver notes!"

At this time, Cui Mingzhi, who had never spoken, spoke.

"I have talked to Mr. Yan Zhao once. This person is very smart and has met Yan'er several times. If we can recruit him as our son-in-law and stop resisting the new policy, our Cui family will definitely be more prosperous."

"No longer resisting the new policy? Impossible!" Cui Laosan said with his eyes wide open. His mind is now full of cheers won by the people after the success of the new policy and the scene of his own entry into the court as an official.

And Fan Tianlong, who was standing beside him, couldn't sit still.

"Uncle Cui Si, what you mean is that I am not worthy of your daughter, and is my Fan family not worthy of working with your Cui family?"

When the five members of the Cui family heard Fan Tianlong say this, they couldn't help but feel tighter and suddenly became nervous.

The Cui family and the Fan family can earn at least a few million taels of silver every year, but no one wants to be unable to get over money.

"Nephew, my fourth brother is just talking about it. Don't take it seriously, just kidding!" Boss Cui said smoothly and glared at Cui Mingzhi.

Cui Mingzhi had no choice but to stop talking. But in his eyes, Yan Zhao was ten times better than Fan Tianlong.

Boss Cui coughed and said, "My father is coming back soon. He must have great opinions on the matters of the New Policy and Yan Zhao. In my opinion, I am just a small official with a fifth rank? What's the point? In Xingyuan County, it's not difficult for my Cui family to let him disappear quietly."

Hearing this, Liu Shiqing, who was not far away, couldn't help but shrink his neck and murmured in his heart: The deputy fifth-ranked official is still a small official. He looks only twenty years old, but I am only seventh-ranked in my forties, and I may not be able to be promoted again in this life! I will never be able to get through this muddy water.

Assassination of the imperial officials and the young Beijing officials is a serious crime of extermination.

At this moment, Heihu, the deputy guard captain who was patrolling at the gate, ran over quickly and whispered: "The clan leader is back, the clan leader is back!"

Hearing this, everyone around stood up.

Cui Laosan said with great excitement: "The backbone of our Cui family has finally come back!"

Immediately, everyone headed outside to meet.
Chapter completed!
