The next day, it was just dawn.

Zhao Yan heard the news that Cui He, the head of the Cui family, returned to Xingyuan County.

He thought Cui He would definitely come to find him.

Either lead people to intimidate him or apologize sincerely to him.

But what surprised Zhao Yan was that until the afternoon, the Cui family did not even make any noise and completely ignored him.

...

In the afternoon, Zhao Yan took Heiwa to Xingyuan County again.

He once said that in three days, if Cui Laosan does not apologize to the drowning couple, compensates 1,000 taels of silver and repairs the hidden dangers of the papermaking workshop, he will take more brutal actions.

A moment later, Zhao Yan and Heiwa came to Xingyuan County Government.

When Liu Shiqing heard that the New Policy Inspector had arrived, he immediately invited him to the back hall and quickly brewed fragrant tea.

"The inspector came to Xingyuan County Government, which really made the place shine brightly!" Liu Shiqing said with a smile.

Zhao Yan gave him a blank look and said, "Stop flattering. This inspector is here today, because he has something to do. He quickly summoned the yamen runners to arrest someone."

"Who do you want to arrest by sir?" Liu Shiqing asked in confusion.

"Cui Yixiong, Cui family!" Zhao Yan said in a plain tone.

When Liu Shiqing heard these five words, he was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.

"Why do you want to arrest him?" Liu Shiqing asked with one hand holding the table.

Zhao Yan said: "He did not do what he promised to this inspector. I want to teach him a lesson."

Immediately, Zhao Yan briefly mentioned the matter of Cui’s papermaking workshop. This crime was enough to arrest him and question him in the county government!

"Sir, please don't cause trouble. This is not a big deal. If you want to pay money, I'll do it. Although your official rank is very high, the people of the Cui family will never be able to move, which will affect your future!" Liu Shiqing persuaded.

Liu Shiqing was also helpless. As a foreigner trained by the Cui family, since he became the magistrate of Xingyuan County, he was the head of a county on the surface, but in fact he was the housekeeper of the Cui family.

Now, he neither wants to offend the Cui family nor wants the inspector to offend the Cui family, so he plans to pay for it out of his own pocket.

"Influence my future, what will the Cui family affect my future?" Zhao Yan looked at him and asked.

Liu Shiqing thought for a while and said, "Sir, as the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill. A family like the Cui family has a very deep foundation and is closely related to the officials of the court. Sometimes you don't know anything at all and your official position is lost. As the adopted son of the Cui family, I understand the strength of the Cui family very well, so I here persuade the inspector to turn a blind eye to some things, which is better for everyone!"

Zhao Yan smiled arrogantly.

"Bang!"

He slapped the table hard and said, "Liu Shiqing, as the New Policy Inspector, it is still okay for me to depose you as a small county magistrate. If you don't arrest you, just wait for the black hat to fall to the ground!"

Liu Shiqing suddenly panicked, thought for a while, and shouted: "Come here!"

Soon, two yamen run over quickly.

"Sir, what's the order?"

Liu Shiqing coughed dryly, and then said, "You go to Cui Mansion to invite the third master of the Cui family... Oh... No, you are arrested. I want to ask him if I have any case?"

"Ah?" Both yamen runners were stunned and looked at Liu Shiqing with confusion.

"Why, don't you understand what I said just now?" Liu Shiqing said with a glaring look.

Just as the two yamen runners were about to go to the execution, Zhao Yan, who was standing beside him, added: "It would be better to bring a few more people, it would be better if you could carry shackles!"

Liu Shiqing immediately said to the two of them: "Have you heard that, take a few more people and bring the big shackles in the prison."

The second yamen runner nodded quickly and then went to the prison to get the big shackles.

Zhao Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Minister Liu, when Cui Laosan comes, you will be the one who will be tried. If you confess me or don't follow what I said, your life's official fortune will be here!"

"The subordinates dare not, but the subordinates dare not!" Liu Shiqing replied timidly. If he loses his official position, it will have no effect on the Cui family.

At this moment, what Liu Shiqing thought was that when Cui Laosan saw the yamen runners holding big shackles and summoned him into the county yamen, he would definitely be furious. According to his temper, he might beat the yamen runners and ignore them at all.

If this could be done, Liu Shiqing would be satisfied.

It can be said that the Cui family is in great power and a small county magistrate can do nothing.

From the Cui family, it can be said that he sent someone to carry the shackles to deliberately arouse Cui Laosan's anger and prevent him from being beaten up.

Zhao Yan could not understand Liu Shiqing's thoughts, and immediately spoke: "If the third child of the Cui family does not come, you will send all the yamen runners. If he dares to beat the official, he will be punished first. When Xiao Wencheng, the governor of Luzhou, arrives, the official will be sentenced to a serious crime."

According to Zhao Yan's order, the governor of Luzhou should arrive in Xingyuan County in a few more days.

"Xiao Wencheng, the governor of Luzhou, is coming?"

Hearing this, Liu Shiqing was shocked and asked in horror, "Sir, is the magistrate coming?"

Zhao Yan gave him a blank look and said angrily: "What, if I tell you, can you go to Cui's Mansion to inform me later just like the last time I showed my identity as an inspector!"

"I dare not, I... I know the crime!" Liu Shiqing immediately knelt down to Zhao Yan.

If Zhao Yan's backer was the governor of Luzhou, and the governor of Luzhou also supported the new policy, the Cui family might have finished it.

And no matter whether the Cui family is finished or not, Cui Laosan must be finished.

He secretly hid military bows and crossbows, gathered a group to beat the officials, and planned to kill several scholars in the past few days and pretended to be dead by the New Deal.

These crimes are enough to sentence Cui Laosan to death!

Although Liu Shiqing was timid and afraid of things, he was not stupid. He increasingly felt that the Cui family's practice of rebelling against the new policy to improve the Cui family's status was a dangerous move.

If it is not done well, it will easily cause the century-old Cui family to be destroyed.

After all, he is a foreigner. No matter how powerful the Cui family is, he will not be able to share much benefits. Instead, the Cui family thinks he is more obedient, so they let him sit in the position of the magistrate of Xingyuan County.

After thinking for a while, Liu Shiqing still felt that the New Policy Inspector was a party to justice and his thighs were thicker.

He decided to turn against him!

"The inspector, the subordinate reported important matters, which is about the Cui family." Liu Shiqing said loudly.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be happy. This was the first time that Liu Shiqing took the initiative to reveal the shortcomings of the Cui family!

"explain!"

"The Cui family opposed the new policy because of its damage to interests, and on the other hand, it was because of its first family to oppose the new policy, then the Cui family's reputation will surely rise after the failure of the new policy. Yesterday, when the Cui family held a family meeting, I was also in it. The head of the Cui family believed that Xingyuan County's call for opposing the new policy was not enthusiastic enough, and the third child of the Cui family proposed a new idea and prepared to force six scholars to persuade the emperor to die."
