“Madam, Master, Lord Xu is here.”
At the door, a servant quickly reminded him in a low voice.
Mrs. Xie coughed lightly and sat up straight. At the same time, she glared at Master Xie.
Seeing this, Master Xie thought of how Mrs. Xie cared more about her reputation, so it was better for him to do this kind of ostentatious work.
When County Magistrate Xu came in and saw Master Xie’s half-smile, his heart skipped a beat. He had already cursed Landlord Wang in his heart.
“Master Xie, it’s been hard for you to make this trip. I already have some evidence for this case, but I have some doubts in my heart. I still need to ask Third Young Master.”
“County Magistrate, I actually have something to tell you.” Xie Yu took the initiative to step forward.
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
Xie Yu then told him about Ye Muyu’s kidnapping. However, he did not say that Ye Muyu saved him. He only said that it was his own people who saved Ye Muyu. For the sake of her reputation, he thought of a way to protect her.
Normally, County Magistrate Xu would definitely not be happy that Xie Yu did this.
However, compared to Xie Yu waking up outside the county office and protecting Ye Muyu, Landlord Wang crossed his bottom line when he used the people in his backyard to attack the county office.
“What does Third Young Master think of this?” County Magistrate Xu frowned. He wanted to punish Landlord Wang, but this kidnapping was obviously an attempt. Landlord Wang could not receive a serious sentence, which made him dissatisfied.
Judging from the Xie family’s reaction, they probably would not take it lightly either.
“Sir, there’s also the Xingshui Village’s murder case, right?”
“Just punish him for both crimes.” Master Xie spoke at the right time.
When County Magistrate Xu heard this, he understood. Without saying anything more, he turned around and left.
The advisor was waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he quickly said, “The bailiffs managed to make those criminals confess. They said that it was Landlord Wang who ordered it. There is also evidence. They have already sent people to arrest the butler of the Wang family. At the same time, they have asked someone to call Landlord Wang to the county office.”
Landlord Wang might not tell the truth, but the butler of the Wang family would.
County Magistrate Xu was not surprised at all. Instead, he praised his advisor. “You did the right thing. Ask Landlord Wang to come back first. Then, catch the butler. Don’t let Landlord Wang know the source of the news.”
“This subordinate understands.” The advisor understood that County Magistrate Xu was angry at Landlord Wang’s boldness. Landlord Wang even challenged his bottom line. Naturally, he wanted to grab hold of the other party’s weakness.
Very quickly, Landlord Wang and Butler Wang were imprisoned in the county office.
However, Butler Wang went to the lowest cell, while Landlord Wang was invited to sit in the back hall of the county office.
The bailiffs had a very good attitude. Even so, Landlord Wang was still a little unhappy. Ever since he worked together with Zhao family, it had been a long time since he had suffered such grievances.
As expected, the higher he stood, the more beautiful the scenery. Landlord Wang’s desire rose to the highest point.
He waited for a while, got up, and wanted to walk out. Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by the bailiff at the door.
“How dare you! Do you know who I am?” Landlord Wang glared angrily at the bailiff who stopped him.
The bailiff had a smile on his face. ‘Master Wang, I’m sure we know about your reputation. However, you’re here to be interrogated. The Lord has specifically instructed us not to let you go to that filthy prison. You should cooperate with us. After all, there are people from the Xie family watching over you. Please understand.”
Landlord Wang chuckled, narrowing his eyes. “Can the Xie family influence the county magistrate?”
These words were obviously meant to sow discord, causing the bailiff guarding the door to reveal an uneasy expression. “I hope that Master Wang can cooperate. In a while, the county magistrate will come personally..”
