The Strong Wife From Peasant Family

Although he relied on his backer and wasn"t afraid of going against He Zhao"s family, he didn"t feel ashamed. This was also one of his strengths, so why didn"t he use it?

No matter who the He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin, and his family were afraid of? As long as they didn"t drag him down.

Director He"s fingernails dug into his palm, the pain from his palm caused him to calm down. He took a deep breath and lowered his head to say yes.

The humiliation he had suffered today, he would definitely pay it back to Liu Zhimo in the future, and it would be countless times over.

Director He secretly made a vow in his heart.

Liu Zhimo glanced at Director He, who had his head lowered, and changed the topic. Those former constables that had not been decided on their crimes, what crime should they be convicted of?

Other than the fact that Sun Qiang had been sentenced to the end of autumn, the other people had not been certain.

Sun Qiang sent someone to give the Emperor the money he got after the fall. I wonder if the Emperor has any objections?

Without the emperor"s approval, he couldn"t just casually chop people down.

When Director He heard this, his heart thumped. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Wasn"t Sun Qiang the one who was in charge of everything? Why did the others come to ask for his opinion?

Could it be that Liu Zhimo dug a hole for him to jump into?

Director He thought darkly in his heart.

"I would like to hear your opinion."

Director He was so angry that he almost wanted to eat Liu Zhimo"s flesh and drink Liu Zhimo"s blood.

What did it mean to keep targeting him?

Director He wondered, if he did not go overboard, why would Liu Zhimo target him?

"Director He?" Liu Zhimo"s slightly raised voice showed his dissatisfaction that he could not hear the answer.

Director He said as he broke the jar, "If I tell you to be lenient, would sire listen to me?" He knew he wouldn"t listen to him, so what was he supposed to say? Waste of saliva.

He didn"t know when Fourth Uncle and the rest were preparing to take action, but he couldn"t stand Liu Zhimo any longer.

He couldn"t wait for Liu Zhimo to die.

If Liu Zhimo were to die, he would definitely burn cannon fodder to celebrate.

He really didn"t understand what his Fourth Uncle and the others were afraid of. If they had attacked together, wouldn"t that County Magistrate have obeyed them obediently? Why did it become timid when it came to Liu Zhimo?

So what if Liu Zhimo has a backer? Of all the high and mighty, who could help him?

As long as they swept their tails clean, they wouldn"t be found.

Plus, if they were looking for an a.s.sa.s.sin, they wouldn"t have to worry about being found.

The more Director He thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. When he goes back home, he would talk about this with Fourth Uncle to see if he would agree with his idea.

The corner of Liu Zhimo"s mouth bloomed into a ridiculing smile. Let Director He explain the reason, as long as Director He"s reason could persuade him, he would listen to him and take care of the former constables.

"Really?" Director He looked up at Liu Zhimo in disbelief. When did he become so easy to talk to?

Liu Zhimo snorted, since when did I lie?

One is one, two is two, he never lies.

Director He endured the ecstasy in his heart, racking his brains to speak up for those few people, allowing Liu Zhimo to reduce their crimes.

When Director He finished speaking, Liu Zhimo immediately retorted back at him.

In the end, the retort caused Director He"s face to turn green. Liu Zhimo pursed his lips and asked, how did he figure out that those few people were good? Could it be the same kind of person?

"Lord, are you messing with me?" Isn"t it fun to play with him like this? Seeing how his mouth was dry, isn"t he feeling great inside?

Liu Zhimo placed both hands on the table, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Director He, then said coldly: "This official wishes to know, what is Director He"s motive for doing all these evil deeds to get rid of this person?" Didn"t he know that those people had done a lot of bad things? "How can you help them get away with it?" Director He, your actions tell me that you are helping the evil. "

Director He"s face stiffened, he bit down on his lower lip and squeezed out, "Yes. It"s you, my lord … You let me say it. " Even though he was wary of falling into the trap that Liu Zhimo had dug, he still did not manage to escape.

The only thing to be blamed was that Liu Zhimo was too cunning, causing him to not notice it for a moment, and then …

d.a.m.n Liu Zhimo.

Liu Zhimo was angered to the point of laughing, "I told you to say it so just say it? If I tell you to go eat s.h.i.t, will you go too? "Huh?" He slammed his hand down on the table with a bang. "I can only see that you have a bad heart, which is why you are in cahoots with those people." The tail of Director He"s crime was swept too clean, causing him to be unable to find anything even if he wanted to.

If he found out, would he still be allowed to stand here? He had long been sent off to accompany those people.

Director He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Zhimo angrily. He wanted Liu Zhimo to not slander him.

Liu Zhimo looked at him meaningfully and said, you know whether or not he is slandering us.

Director He panicked when he saw Liu Zhimo"s look. He was afraid that he had failed to sweep clean all the bad things that had done before and Liu Zhimo had found out.

No, no, he couldn"t scare himself. Calm down.

After comforting himself in his heart, Director He spoke again, "Lord Liu, you are a dignified County Magistrate, how can you slander others so casually?" Since I have already offended Liu Zhimo, I am not afraid of offending him any further. "If Lord Liu were to wrongly accuse me again, I will do whatever it takes to seek justice for myself. It would only take two days to get to the city, so he didn"t mind reporting this to the Prefect.

Liu Zhimo gave a deep glance at Director He, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled, "I hope that Director He can always speak to this official in such a righteous manner." He had already secretly sent people to continue investigating the He family, he did not believe that the He family would clean up the mess, "If I were to truly wrongly accuse Director He, I will apologize in front of all the citizens of Ninghua County."

Director He"s heart was pounding frantically. Did Liu Zhimo really know his secret? Otherwise, why would he say that?

"Alright, I"ll be waiting." He could not reveal his cowardice in front of Liu Zhimo, so he raised his head and asked, "Lord Liu, is there anything else? "If there"s nothing else, I"ll be going now."

Liu Zhimo nodded slightly, and let him take care of the things that he had acc.u.mulated recently.

After Director He left, Magistrate Ma asked Liu Zhimo in a low voice, would he be alerting the snake by hitting the gra.s.s?

"No, I"m luring the snake out of its hole." The more Director He thought about it, the more suspicious he would be.

He actually wanted to see if Director He could stay calm to the end.

When Magistrate Ma heard this, he gave Liu Zhimo a big thumbs up.

He had to learn more from the County Magistrate. If he couldn"t learn everything, he could earn even half of it.

"I"m not going to the Wutong Village today. I should finish this earlier and return home earlier."

"Alright …" Magistrate Ma nodded happily. If he could return home early, he could have a good meal with his wife and children.

As for Director He, he did not go to work, but went to the dungeon.

The guard at the entrance of the dungeon was Ling Jiu. Seeing Director He coming over, he reached out his hand to stop him.

Director He squinted at Ling Jiu, and arrogantly said, "Who do you think you are, to dare block this history?" He thought Ling Jiu was a newly recruited bailiff, hence he was very rude to him.

Ling Jiu did not place him in his eyes, and unmoving said that, with County Magistrate"s orders, no one is allowed to visit.

Even if the families of those few people were to come, they would not be able to enter, much less Director He.

"You …" Director He clenched his teeth and glared at Ling Jiu, "County Magistrate told me to come, move aside." He could do nothing to Liu Zhimo, could he not do nothing to a mere yamen runner?

Ling Jiu coldly looked at him, and asked him to take Liu Zhimo"s written orders.

You even need a handwritten order?

was so angry that he almost gasped for breath. Imprisoning a prisoner was his job, why not let him in?

He did not want to waste time talking to Ling Jiu, so he waved Ling Jiu off, wanting to barge in.

Unexpectedly, Ling Jiu grabbed her wrist, twisted it behind him, and kicked his knee. Bang!

"Those who barge into the prison without permission will be even more guilty. Let"s go see the County Magistrate."

Pain, pain, pain … Director He felt that his limbs were about to break from the pain.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he asked Ling Jiu to let him go.

Ling Jiu remained unmoved and escorted him to the front of Liu Zhimo, then shook his hand off.

Director He laid on the ground, gasping for breath from the pain. "Lord …"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ling Jiu, "Master, Director He wants to trespa.s.s into the prison without your permission."

Liu Zhimo lowered his eyes, looked at Director He, and said: "Director He, this is your mistake. I have said before, without this official"s instruction, no one is allowed to enter." "What is he planning to do in the prison?" "If you want to go in, you should ask me for an oracle instead of trespa.s.sing."

Director He took a few deep breaths, then crawled up from the ground. Right now, he was also in pain, he was not willing to stay in the prison.

"Master, shouldn"t I be in charge of the prisoners" area? Why can"t I go in? "

"With just you alone for a month, it hasn"t even been two days that you"ve come to the yamen." Liu Zhimo retorted coldly, "Director He, do you still want to go in?"

Director He"s face flushed red, as he said that he would.

He didn"t want him to go in, but he had to.

Liu Zhimo made a sound, and gave the order to Director He. told him that the visiting time was three quarters of an hour, and once the time was up, he would immediately come out.

Director He suppressed the discontent in his heart, nodded, and followed Ling Jiu to the dungeon.

"Director He, I beg you, please save us." When the few of them saw that Director He had come to see them, they went to the prison. Grabbing onto the railings, they extended their hands towards Director He, wanting him to save them.

Director He took a step back and said in a low voice, "If you want to go out, then don"t make a ruckus."

In that moment, the dungeon quietened down, and those few people looked at Director He in antic.i.p.ation.

Director He took a step forward. It was fine if he wanted to leave, but he had to pay a certain price.
