After my inner voice was exposed, I made the tyrant cry anxiously

When Yu Zhong opened his mouth, almost everyone turned their attention to the small statue in Magistrate Dong's hand. Everyone in the county government office was familiar with it. Magistrate Dong often played with it and carried it wherever he went.

County Magistrate Dong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and glanced at the small statue. He had spent a lot of effort to get it before. Could it be that the Shangguan had taken a fancy to it?
After some mental struggle, he presented the little statue in his hand, laughed twice, and said very attentively, "If you like it, I will serve as an official to honor you."

He walked towards Yu Zhong cautiously, and then held the small statue in front of Yu Zhong.

Su Juan and others immediately looked at Magistrate Dong and Yu Zhong. Su Juan almost laughed out loud, "This Magistrate Dong is really willing to give away such a precious little statue." 】

Yu Zhong pursed his thin lips tightly. This kind of thing had happened to him since he entered the Ministry of Justice, but it was rare for him to be as stupid as the county magistrate.

Su Juan's eyebrows were frivolous and she said to Yu Zhong, "Master Yu, people are showing their filial piety to you, won't you accept it?"

[Look at County Magistrate Dong, he looks reluctant to part with it, which shows how much he treasures this jade statue. If he doesn’t accept it, he will probably take it back. 】

Yu Zhong originally came here to stabilize Magistrate Dong, but now his eyes were contemptuous, with a look of disdain, "You dare to wave anything in front of me."

When County Magistrate Dong heard this, he immediately understood that he did not care about his things at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put away the small statue. He laughed dryly and stepped forward to apologize, "I didn't know that Shangguan was here today. I was wrong." Yuan Ying is really the fault of the lower official, so the lower official ordered people to go back to his house to tidy up a few rooms and asked the upper official to stay there."

Afraid that Yu Zhong would be displeased, Magistrate Dong was careful when speaking and acted based on Yu Zhong's face, fearing that he might say something wrong and offend someone.

Yu Zhong nodded.

Before the arrival of the Xuzhou magistrate, in order to prevent Magistrate Dong from noticing what happened at the inn in advance and taking precautions, the four of them had to stay at Magistrate Dong's house.

In the evening of the same day, Magistrate Dong came to invite people, saying that he had prepared a banquet and wanted to entertain a few people.

A group of four people followed them to the hall and saw ten dishes on the table, as well as good wine. Even the wine glasses used for drinking were made of fine porcelain.

Su Juan was surprised and said, "Ten dishes! Mr. Dong is really thoughtful."

Magistrate Dong smiled, "It's just a small banquet. This is what lower officials eat on weekdays."

This is a high-ranking official from the capital. He is easy to serve and make friends with. Maybe he will have a chance to be promoted next year.

When Yu Zhong saw the ten dishes, his expression turned cold. The victims outside were starved of food, but this meal of Magistrate Dong included both meat and vegetables, a full ten dishes.

He concealed his anger and did not lose his temper, "Today I heard your yamen servant say that all the county yamen in Xuzhou will collect money from prosecution, but is it true?"

Magistrate Dong looked at the four people in front of him and felt uneasy when he saw them not moving their chopsticks. Hearing Yu Zhong's question, he laughed twice and said, "The superiors are joking, but the people below are talking nonsense."

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun and his subordinates, signaling them to use their chopsticks. If they wanted to get some truth out of Magistrate Dong's mouth, they had to let their guard down first.

Except for Yu Zhong, all three of them started eating with their chopsticks.

Xie Xun came to Xuzhou all the way and saw and heard too much. Looking at the table of meat and vegetables in front of him, Xie Xun felt uncomfortable. When the food went into his mouth, it felt like chewing wax and his throat hurt.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Dong was relieved, laughed, and stood up to pour wine for Yu Zhong, "Actually, collecting money from the prosecution does exist in Xuzhou. The county government supports many people, and there are cases of salary arrears in arrears. In order to support the family, There’s nothing we can do about it.”

After saying that, he asked tentatively, "I don't know why Shangguan came to Xuzhou?"

Yu Zhong glanced at Magistrate Dong, but did not drink. "According to His Majesty's order, I inspected the disaster situation in Xuzhou. I just arrived in He County a few days ago and stayed at an inn. Unexpectedly, I was attacked in the middle of the night."

His voice was soft and careless, but Magistrate Dong's heart skipped a beat!
"This inn is actually a black shop, robbing guests at night." Magistrate Dong's back was dripping with cold sweat, and he suppressed his guilty conscience, "It's such a thing! It's really abominable! I wonder if you are injured?"

As the Su family ate their food, they looked up from time to time to glance at Magistrate Dong, "Mr. Dong asked this, is it because he hopes that we, Mr. Yu, will have some ups and downs?"

Magistrate Dong laughed sarcastically, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, "The lower official is confused. The superior official has a lucky star to look after him, so how can anything happen?"

He looked at these four people carefully. Did the people in the inn reveal their secrets?
"It's all because of the lax management of the lower official. I don't know which inn it is. The lower official will send people to arrest all the people in the inn and give an explanation to the superior official."

Yu Zhong curled his thin lips and said, "It's not far from here. The main thing is that after an interrogation, the innkeeper actually said that he was under the instruction of Mr. Dong, the magistrate of He County. You said this?" Is it strange?”

With a "plop", Magistrate Dong stood up from his chair and knelt on the ground, "Shangguan! It's all slander. I am the magistrate of a county. How could I do such a despicable thing!"

"I definitely don't have the guts to do this. Please let me know what's going on!"

Magistrate Dong cried out and complained as much as he wanted. Even Su Juan and others were moved after hearing this.

Yu Zhong said nothing and just looked at Magistrate Dong.

Magistrate Dong was already sweating profusely, "Shangguan, I don't know where this person is now. I must confront him face to face and ask him why he slandered me!"

Yu Zhong touched the wine glass with his hand, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Kill."

Magistrate Dong was shocked and did not understand the meaning of these words for a moment, "Sir, will you kill him?"

"This person dares to slander the imperial officials. Does Mr. Dong think he shouldn't be killed?"

Yu Zhong's eyes were slightly cold, and he could understand what was going on in the county magistrate's heart, "He should be killed, he should be killed!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, just kill him, just kill him.

From this point of view, this official from the capital is not that difficult to get along with, but his attitude is really weird, making people feel uneasy and unsure of what he is thinking.

The Su family looked at Magistrate Dong, put down their chopsticks, and joked twice, "Master Dong, it's not too hot now, why are you sweating so much?"

Magistrate Dong laughed dryly, "Xiaguan has been weak since he was a child and has been sweating profusely."

He took the handkerchief handed over by the person next to him, wiped his forehead and palms, looked at Su Juan, and had some guesses in his mind. This official in the capital brought his family with him when he went out to do business?
In order to get closer, he smiled and flattered her, "Mrs. Yu is so beautiful. Shangguan is so lucky."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Xun almost spit out the food in his mouth.

What Mrs. Yu! ?Blind?
Yu Zhong was also slightly stunned, and then explained, "Master Dong misunderstood, I am not married yet."

Magistrate Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that she should be a confidante accompanying her on the road. These high-ranking officials in the capital know how to enjoy themselves. He smiled and said, "It turns out it's not Mrs. Yu."

Seeing his reaction, Yu Zhong frowned and said, "This is the fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs of the current dynasty. He is traveling with me this time. Lord Dong, please don't misunderstand me again."

Magistrate Dong's smile froze on his face. A fifth-grade woman? (End of chapter)
