Landlord Wang smiled in satisfaction and returned to the house to continue waiting.

He believed that his words would definitely reach County Magistrate Xu’s ears. No high-ranking official would like someone to challenge their position.

The anger from being called in this time could be considered to have dissipated.

Outside, the bailiff who was in charge of guarding saw that Landlord Wang did not say anything more, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Landlord Wang should believe his performance, right?

“When two families fight, one of them will definitely be injured.” The bailiff muttered and shook his head. Seeing that it seemed like it was going to rain, he shook his head and did not say anything else.

In the prison of the county office, Butler Wang was still resisting. After discussing with County Magistrate Xu, Master Xie had someone make a fake contract and bring Butler Wang’s relatives over in private.

“Wang Xiao, just confess. Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you think Wang Youcai still has a chance to turn things around?”

“Your family has already been sold to the Xie family. Even if you go out this time, Wang Youcai won’t use you anymore. Instead, he will find someone to get rid of you. Even if you still resist, will Wang Youcai believe that you didn’t say anything?” The advisor approached Butler Wang, who had been tortured and pointed out the key point.

Butler Wang was injured all over. He was still resisting, but when he heard this, his determination instantly jumped. “Sir, Advisor, I’ll confess. I’ll confess now.” “It’s Master, Master asked me to kill that child and frame Scholar Chu’s son.” “But I don’t have any evidence. I didn’t even have time to pay that person before he was arrested.”

“I have no other choice. Please forgive me, County Magistrate.”

“Oh, really? Then think again. What other bad things did Wang Youcai do that are enough to behead him? If you don’t think about it carefully, when Wang Youcai goes out and beheads you, I won’t have any evidence. I won’t be able to avenge you even if I want to.”

“Let me think.. 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m

“Sir, I have something to turn myself in. I hope that you can spare me on the account that I’m actively cooperating.”

“Tell me about it first.” County Magistrate Xu did not care about the life of a slave. The real threat to his position was Landlord Wang or even the people in the capital city.

Just now, the Xie family had told him that Landlord Wang had connections with the people in the capital city.

County Magistrate Xu was both angry and scared. He did not expect Landlord Wang to be so bold and actually collude with the officials above. No wonder the other party looked down on him.

In fact, he could have immediately chosen to cooperate with Landlord Wang and backstab the Xie family.

However, when he thought of what Xie Yu had unintentionally said, which meant that Landlord Wang would not be able to send out any news for the time being, he instantly felt a chill run down his spine. If he could not hit the Xie family in one strike, then what awaited him was definitely the Xie family’s counterattack.

Compared to Landlord Wang or even the people in the capital city, he knew more about the Xie family’s background.

Not to mention the Xie family’s original foundation. There was the Second Master of the Xie family, who was an official in the same dynasty as him. He heard that the higher-ups had taken a fancy to him. After three years, there was a high possibility that he would be promoted.

Why should he offend the other party?

He might as well stand on the Xie family’s side. If the Xie family became rich in the future, they could help him.

In the afternoon, the sky turned dark.

It started to rain heavily.

It had been nearly four hours since Landlord Wang was summoned.

Wang Yan was so angry that she went to the county office to curse twice. Not only could she not see him, but she was also chased out by the bailiffs. She was already arrogant, and after her arm was crippled, her temper became even worse..
