The system always wants to send me to the heroine

"Well, if this move can gain the plaintiff's forgiveness and satisfy both parties, it is legally reasonable. Old man Zhang, are you willing?"

I nodded, signaling him to express his opinion quickly.

"My lord, I am willing, I am willing!"

He was imprisoned today for no reason and thought he would lose all his money, but now it seems like the clouds have cleared and the sun has come out, his injustice has been redressed, and the only thing he is worried about is his sick child.

"Very good, now the truth is out, Old Man Zhang, you can wait outside the hall for a while, and when the silver is delivered, you can cash it in the hall."

Old man Zhang was overjoyed and kowtowed, thanking the emperor profusely and left.

Outside the hall, Old Man Zhang's wife, who had been summoned by me long ago, hugged him and burst into tears.

"My Lord County Magistrate, then, can I have my son?"

Mr. Liu's expression changed very quickly. He smiled and rubbed his hands nervously.

"Humph!"

I let out a cry and slammed the gavel.

"Listen to the verdict! The Liu family father and son robbed others of their property, shielded each other, and colluded with each other. They are considered accomplices. However, considering that Liu's father is old, and he repented in court and obtained the forgiveness of old man Zhang, this county will show mercy and will not pursue you any further!"

I paused, and pretended to be cool and looked at Master Liu who was kneeling beside me.

"But this county has no reason to forgive his son. According to the laws of this dynasty, both crimes must be punished with twenty strokes of the cane, three years in prison and forced labor. The sentence is immediate!"

When Old Man Zhang heard this, he started to kowtow again and begged me only to spare his son and that he would agree to everything else.

However, at this point, I absolutely cannot be soft-hearted.

Rewards and punishments are unclear, and there is no way to govern. They rob other people's property in the street, and even give false testimony and falsely accuse victims. Their behavior is terrible. If I just let it go, it will only encourage the people of Qiyun County to despise the law, and it will show my incompetence. How can I rebuild my image in front of everyone?

"Drag him away and beat him, Wang Chao. You will be in charge of this personally. You cannot treat it as a joke like before. After you have enforced the law, you will be sent to prison immediately!"

I gritted my teeth and drank in a tender voice.

"Yes!"

"'Mahan!'"

The matter was not over yet. At my command, Ma Han immediately grabbed Master Diao, who was standing coldly on the side, and made him kneel down in the hall.

"Master Li, why is this?"

Master Diao was both shocked and angry, and the yamen runners were also shocked by this sudden turn of events and looked at each other.

"Humph, Master Diao, didn't you hear Mr. Liu's confession just now? Do you really not know what this county intends to do?"

I puffed my cheeks and continued.

Now that we've fallen out, I plan to make a final push and bring down Master Diao!

"You, good, good you Li Zhi, I Diao have done my best for you, how dare you do this to..."

"How dare you! How dare you call me by my name, 'Ma Han', in the lobby? That's right, slap me in the face!"

For some reason I felt guilty, and was really afraid that he was saying something ugly that I didn't know about, so I quickly seized the opportunity when he made a mistake in his words due to his anger and slapped him twice.

But in the eyes of outsiders, I should be upright and impartial in enforcing the law at this moment, huh!

"Master Diao, don't forget that I am a seventh-rank county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. You are just a guest official in this county, with no official title or rank. Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand and manipulate everything?"

Chapter 9 Success

Lawyer Diao's eyes turned quickly and looked at the dozens of yamen runners around him.

"Why are you all just watching? Why don't you save me?"

The yamen runners are holding killing sticks. If they really start to make trouble, it will be very difficult to end. Fortunately, I still have Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to guard me.

"Let's see who dares. I am a seventh-rank county magistrate. If anyone acts recklessly, they will be severely punished!"

At my angry shout, the two of them drew their swords and successfully stopped the crowd.

I puffed out my chest, looking domineering and majestic, but in fact I was so scared that I raised my official seal and was sweating profusely.

Woo woo, it’s going to be okay. As long as I get over this hurdle, I’ll be successful!

"Hahaha, hahahahahahaha, good, good, I, Diao, have done my best for you, but you have been discarded like a worn-out shoe. When you first took office, you didn't know anything about the court, and you begged me hard, so I did it with reluctance. The finance, household administration, education, and prison administration of Qiyun County are all handled by me, Diao. Is this how you repay me?"

Holding the official seal, I was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, before this, the main reason why a commoner like Diao could control the entire county government was probably because of my previous incompetence.

Not to mention adjudicating cases, it's just about prison administration, as well as finance, managing money and taxes, household registration, managing population records, and education, managing private schools and imperial examinations.

With all these things in mind, even if I am a time traveler from the future, I am afraid I cannot pat my chest and guarantee that I can do it well, let alone my previous self.

However, even so, it cannot change my determination to replace Master Diao.

My mission is to stop the hero and heroine from being together, right? Without the power of a county magistrate, I have no confidence at all that I can fight against Long Aotian.

If you can't even do what you promised the heroine, how can you improve her favorability?

"Master Diao, I'm sorry. I'm not someone who doesn't remember the past, but things are different now. I'm no longer as ignorant as I was before. I also promised others that from now on, I will be a good official, a good official who enforces the law impartially."

This is my promise to the heroine, Little Loli. Now, I have said it in the lobby, and it is my promise to the people of the entire county.

However, in the end, I still chose to let Master Diao go, and did not charge him with breaking the law knowingly, perjury, or bribery.

Firstly, if I want to prove his guilt, I might get myself involved as well. After all, I was not clean at all in the past.

Secondly, as he said, he and I have some favors.

However, I announced in court that Mr. Diao was fired.

Master Diao didn't say anything else, just shook his head in frustration.

He can no longer compete with me. Don't forget that I still have a father who is a high-ranking official in the court to support me.

Only Captain Zhu, who followed Master Diao, heard that I had fired Master Diao on the spot, so he gathered eight of his trusted constables and broke into the lobby.

Because he hadn't been to the lobby and couldn't see the situation clearly, he thought I was still as easy to manipulate as before. He boasted about Master Diao's "achievements" in front of me, portraying me as an ignorant and foolish county magistrate. After a passionate performance in front of the people, he said, "If you want to fire Master Diao, let me go with him!"

Humph, it does sound a bit like forcing abdication.

The eight people who came with me also asked for resignation in a very loud voice, as if I was about to do something unforgivable and they were all trying their best to persuade me to die.

The chief constable is the supreme commander of all the constables in the yamen and also the one with the highest martial arts skills. Perhaps, he also thinks that our yamen cannot do without him at all.

"Well, then, considering your loyalty and in front of all the blind dates, I will have to agree to it even if I am reluctant."

What could I say? I could only nod and let him do it.

It’s better to say, it’s what I’ve been looking for.

Captain Zhu raised his head with an incredulous look on his face.

Haha, in his impression, I am probably still that playful and unlearned idiot.

"Take off your official uniforms, put down your swords, and you can leave on your own."

I waved my little hand, disapproving that their movements were not quick enough.

"Sir, you, you really want to drive me away?"

Captain Zhu still couldn't believe it.

"Oh, this Captain Zhu is really shameless. Didn't he say he wanted to leave?"

Outside the hall, the people who were eating melons were laughing without knowing who had led the way.

"Hmph, don't regret it!"

Captain Zhu's face turned red. Unable to save face, he dropped the knife, turned around and left with his confidant.

Unfortunately, he didn't hear my words of trying to keep him until he walked out of the lobby.

The next things were much simpler. He paid the old man Zhang with the silver and handed the painting to Mr. Liu, who was even more confused after watching the show.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily and I announced the adjournment of the court in public.

This county government office is finally back in my hands.

My nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed a lot at this moment. I fell down on the armchair.

I did it. I was about to give up, but I really did it!

Eager to share my joy, I looked around, but only saw four people: Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu.

"This time, thanks to you, I would like to thank you all. But you four still refuse to tell me your real names?"

"Please forgive me, sir. We have our own difficulties that we cannot tell you."

Wang Chao curled his lips and clasped his fists towards me.

Yeah, I understand. If it were me, I would have been too embarrassed to bear it if people kept calling me "Tiga".

At least, it is enough to know that the four of them have no ill will towards me and are my most capable helpers.

By the way, the heroine, it seems the heroine came to see me.

I quickly jumped off the armchair and went happily to meet the heroine, the little loli.

Well, she saw everything about my heroic performance in the lobby, right?

You know, the most satisfying thing in the world is to be successful in showing off and have acquaintances see it!

The court was adjourned and the crowd gradually dispersed. I easily found the little heroine who was waiting outside the hall. When she saw me, she waved her hand excitedly at me.

Little did she know that I was more excited than she was.

Although the process was extremely difficult, in the end, I really got to satisfy my addiction to solving cases!

I successfully solved the case and mustered up the courage to seize power. The encouragement of the heroine Xiao Yunyun should be at least half of the credit!

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I couldn't help but pounce on her, hugged Xiao Yunyun with both hands, and kissed her little face.

Xiao Yunyun was stunned for a moment.

I was also stunned when I realized it later.

"Oh, no, I, I didn't mean to molest you, little Yunyun, I was just too happy and couldn't help myself, guh, actually, actually I'm a girl too, really!"

I'm about to cry. I completely forgot that my setting was a woman disguised as a man. I haven't told anyone about this.

Chapter 10: Unable to Flirt

I was so embarrassed that I looked around quickly.

Fortunately, it was getting dark and the onlookers dispersed, so no one noticed this side.

Wow, the incident of the county magistrate forcibly kissing a well-behaved loli in the street almost became a topic of conversation among the people after dinner!

I really didn’t think that much.

Little Yunyun's face turned slightly red. She rubbed the place where I kissed her, looking aggrieved. Her big eyes quickly filled with tears.

"No, I don't believe it!"

Do not believe?

I scratched my head, feeling a little dizzy.

"Really, Xiao Yunyun, I swear!"

Xiao Yunyun just shook her head.

"Humph, unless, unless you show me, I will believe that you are not trying to flirt with me!"

Xiao Yunyun put her hands on her hips, looking as if it was a matter of course.

Gu, you, you are just a loli, what's there to be frivolous about? I'm not a perverted lolita lover!

"What are you looking at?"

I swallowed my saliva, but saw Xiao Yunyun's eyes sweeping over me as if examining me. Without hesitation, she swept over my neck and body. Finally, her gaze stopped at a place that the little loli should never see.

"no!"

The little girl's burning eyes were so serious that I couldn't help but, hmm.

He reached out and gave her a slap.

How does this kid know so much? Could it be that she is an h loli?

"You, you hit me?"
