Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 58: Rape the woman's mouth, there is no reason to explain

"Liu Laohei, have you ever been to the Huajian Restaurant?"

After hearing what you said, Liu Laohei's face flushed red and he looked ashamed.

"Old Master, to be honest, I have never been there."

"Normally, it's pretty good to be able to go to an alley and find a secret door."

After hearing what Liu Laohei said, you've already determined that he's a marginalized figure who's been ostracized in the government office.

[This kind of person is frustrated and frustrated. If you give him a chance, he will climb up like crazy.]

"Liu Laohei, are there any other officials like you here? Of course, I don't look down on you, I just want to unite some forces that I want."

After hearing your words, Liu Laohei was excited.

"My Lord, I know, I know!"

"There are three others. Some of them were ostracized for disobeying orders, some for disobeying discipline, and one because he saw the County Magistrate not kneel down in time."

"The last one was extremely serious. The county magistrate ordered the detectives to tie him up and expose him to the sun for three days."

[You were very proud to hear the county magistrate actually do this.]

I think people shouldn't treat others this way.

[Even when you were a prince, you never treated servants who failed to serve you well like this.]

[But now you are alone, venturing into the dangerous and dangerous world of Gulan County. Ultimately, you can only endure it for now and make plans later.]

[Then you asked Liu Laohei to gather the other three, and then they had a simple meal at the county government office.]

[During this time, you continued to inquire, and the network of connections in Gulan County also formed in your mind.]

The county magistrate's name was Zheng Boyuan, and he had long been established in Gulan County. Of the six clerks in Gulan County (officials, households, rites, military affairs, criminal justice, and engineering), three were his sons-in-law, and the other three were his nephews.

[The Chief Clerk and the Dianshi were also his relatives.]

[The local security guards in every village and town under Gulan County are all his people.]

[Officials of all ranks married into each other's families, controlling all important posts in Gulan County.]

[It can be said that the entire Gulan County is completely blocked and solid under the management of Zheng Boyuan.]

[You have no soldiers, only a transfer order. It is not easy to gain a foothold in Gulan County.]

【You can’t think of anything about this matter for the time being.】

[You then inquired about the causes of death of the previous county magistrates, but the four remained silent.]

"Is it related to demons?"

[When the four of them were silent, you suddenly asked, carefully observing everyone's expressions.]

[As you expected, a hint of panic flashed across the faces of all four of them, but they quickly concealed it.]

"Sir, you must be joking. It's a clear day and a bright day. How could there be any demons causing trouble in Gulan County?"

"Yes, sir, you must have heard some gossipy woman's gossip. We have never seen any monsters since we were young."

"Rumors, absolutely rumors!"

"Sir, let's have a drink. The county magistrate should be here tomorrow. You'd better be careful. He's a powerful person."

Listening to everyone's chatter, you didn't say anything, but nodded and drank with them.

[During this time, you also learned about another connection between County Magistrate Zheng Boyuan and his wife, who was from the Hetao Long family.]

[The Long family is a thousand-year-old family. Even if a prince who has not been crowned a king wants to marry her, he may not be able to succeed.]

[You're somewhat surprised that Zheng Boyuan was able to marry the daughter of the Long family.]

[I don’t know what kind of interests are hidden in this. ]

After eating and drinking, you spent the night in the county government office.

The next day, upon learning of your arrival, County Magistrate Zheng Boyuan immediately led officials of all ranks to the county government office to greet you.

[You also changed into your official uniform and accepted the welcome from these people.]

You noticed the disdain and contempt in the officials' eyes, but you knew now was not the time to turn on them, so you feigned composure and began exchanging pleasantries with Zheng Boyuan.

Zheng Boyuan knew your true identity. Being the master at guessing his superiors' intentions, he immediately understood why Empress Xiao Huang had sent you to Gulan County.

[The Su royal family has many former members, so a restoration is not impossible.]

[But your death cannot be too obvious. You can only die without anyone noticing.] [Later, it can only be attributed to the fact that county magistrates in Gulan County are prone to death.]

[Afterwards, Zheng Boyuan invited you to a banquet to welcome you.]

[And the place we arrived at was the Huajian Restaurant.]

After three rounds of drinks, you made a request to Zheng Boyuan.

"Zheng County Magistrate, I have a request. Can you allocate funds to renovate this county government office?"

"It would be quite inappropriate for an ordinary official to spend his working time in brothels."

After hearing your words, all the officials' faces changed, turning as black as coal.

[Your suggestion is tantamount to digging into their flesh.]

[Who knew that Zheng Boyuan would readily agree?]

"Very well, very well. From now on, your travels must be grand. I will also provide you with four sedan bearers. Only in this way can the majesty of the county magistrate be demonstrated."

Seeing Zheng Boyuan acting so abnormally, you felt something was amiss, but you didn't refuse. Since he agreed, you'll just have to fight back.

The other officials were also unhappy when they saw Zheng Boyuan like this, their eyes filled with suspicion towards him.

[Zheng Boyuan chose to ignore you and toasted you repeatedly during the meal, seemingly willing to clear the way for you.]

[Even though you know these are all illusions, you still can't help but imagine how wonderful it would be if this were real.]

[Renovations to the county government office began the day after you returned, and this was the first time you felt the prosperity of Gulan County.]

[The reason is that the craftsmen who came to renovate the county government office from Gulan County brought with them meat patties made from white flour.]

This standard of living makes you start to doubt whether this is still the Great Zhou Dynasty.

[Or is this just a maze set up by Zheng Boyuan for you?]

The renovations lasted over three months, and during that time you stayed indoors, reviewing all the files.

[In the end, as you expected, after comparing the various files, it can be said that there are countless loopholes.]

For example, in a drowning case, the deceased was clearly recorded as having died from drowning, but other files recorded strangulation marks on the neck.

[There was also a case of wife murder in which the husband hit the victim with a stool, but other files said she was hanged.]

There are so many files like this, almost too numerous to count.

[Looking at the comparison of various files, you are very surprised.]

[I just feel like these people are not even acting anymore.]

[There are also Gulan County's financial account books, which also contain various errors and omissions.]

[At this moment, you feel a huge resistance, subtly exerting pressure on you. But you are not discouraged and continue to collect evidence.]

……

One day, you were riding in a sedan chair, preparing to inspect the water conservancy and irrigation canals in a nearby town, but a woman stopped you in your tracks and cried out for justice.

[She said that while her husband was away, she was raped at home by a traveling merchant, who is now in Gulan County.]

[I only ask you, the great judge, to help her and arrest that merchant.]

[You see she's dark and plump, and realize this is most likely a trap set by Zheng Boyuan.]

If you make an inappropriate judgment, you might be caught.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty had a rule that anyone who blocked a sedan chair in the street would be punished with fifty lashes of the cane, regardless of whether the injustice was true or not, before the case could proceed to trial.

[Add "Adultery comes out of a woman's mouth, and even if she has reason to defend herself, she will not be able to explain it clearly."]

So you ordered her to be beaten with fifty sticks and sent the constable to arrest the merchant and bring him to the government office.

[The yamen was now crowded with people. Almost half of Gulan County had gathered around, wanting to see how you handled the case.]

[However, that merchant was extremely stubborn. Even if you tortured him, he would not admit his crime.]

Zheng Boyuan and the others were just watching the joke, wanting to see how you would conduct the trial.

You have no choice but to call Liu Laohei and his men. They are the only officers you can command.

[Then he looked towards the woman, observing her thick arms and thighs.]

"Liu Laohei, the four of you, go and have sex with this woman for me now. I will bear all the consequences!"
