Chapter 1161: 1161 The case he committed1 Chapter 1161: 1161 The case he committed1 This time, facing the county magistrate, Old Lady of the Zhu family was truly frightened and trembling.

The administrative clerk waved his hand, “Prefect Zheng conducts his office with integrity, so you all can rest assured.

Stop crying here.

Go away!”

“Yes, yes!” Zhu Nengwen hurriedly helped his mother away.

County Magistrate Zheng glanced at Xiao Yuchuan, who stood beside him with an attitude neither servile nor overbearing, and signaled with his eyes, “Private Adviser Zheng!”

The Zheng-named administrative clerk immediately took out two boxes of gifts from the carriage and handed them to Xiao Yuchuan, “Several months ago, Su Qingyue captured a thief with righteousness in town, greatly aiding my family’s Lady.

At that time, County Magistrate Zheng was out of town and had affairs that prevented him from returning for many years.

Lai Tou bullied my old Lady, and no one dared to intervene in this troublesome matter.

My family’s Lady has always remembered Su Qingyue’s kindness.

Xiao Family’s third son, this is a little token of my old Lady’s gratitude.”

“I cannot accept it,” Xiao Yuchuan quickly refused.

“It was my grandmother who instructed me to give it to Su Qingyue, the gift was not prepared by me personally.

My grandmother originally wanted to come to Wushan Village to personally express her thanks to Su Qingyue, yet the journey was too far, and it was inconvenient for an elderly person to come.

This time, knowing that I was coming to Wushan Village to investigate a case, she asked me to bring the gift along,” said Zheng Dejun with a just face, glancing at the onlooking villagers, “Su Qingyue saved my grandmother, and for that, we owe her our gratitude.

I also assure everyone that I am not an incompetent official.

If Su Qingyue indeed committed murder, I will absolutely handle it with impartiality.

Novts`O.co

Please trust me, fellow villagers.”

With a murder case involving the Xiao Family, he didn’t want to get involved with the Xiao at this time, but Su Qingyue’s righteous act of capturing a thief and assisting his grandmother was known by the entire town.

He had just taken office and was known to be filial; if he didn’t visit his grandmother’s benefactor, it could give rise to gossip.

He also expressly stated that he would not show favoritism, believing that visiting would rather show his openness and that he was not an ungrateful person.

“County Magistrate Zheng is a just and loyal official, an official of virtue!” Aunt Qi from the onlooking villagers was the first to flatter.

“The adult is wise and forthright, truly fitting of a parent official…”

The onlooking villagers praised him in succession.

Zheng Dejun greatly enjoyed the villagers’ compliments, feeling that this action was the right move.

“The gift from my family’s Lady for Su Qingyue, just accept it, and don’t refuse anymore,” Private Adviser Zheng insisted as he pushed the two gift boxes into Xiao Yuchuan’s embrace.

Seeing this, he accepted them.

Xiao Yishan came out from his family’s courtyard door and, seeing the array of officials with sabers and Zheng Dejun in his official uniform, also stepped forward to greet, “I have seen the adult!”

Zheng Dejun, looking at his tall figure and disfigured left face, found him rather intimidating and faced pressure confronting such a formidable man; he dearly cleared his throat and said with composure, “Dispense with the formalities.”

“Thank you, adult.”

“I’ve heard that the Xiao Family’s second son, Xiao Yishan, once killed a bear with his bare hands and disfigured his left face, that must be you.”

“Indeed,” replied Xiao Yishan, who had gotten up late due to exhaustion and was concerned about Yue’er.

Looking at his third brother’s calm expression, he knew that Yue’er was unharmed for now.

“Well then, I have nothing more.

I’m going to inspect the village and have the village chief arrange a temporary lodging,” said Zheng Dejun to Xiao Yuchuan, “Now that my grandmother’s wishes have been delivered, to avoid any suspicion of bias, I shall not enter your home.”

Xiao Yuchuan nodded.

County Magistrate Zheng left with several government officials.

Xiao Yuchuan carried the gift boxes into the room.

Xiao Yishan followed inside, “Third brother, where is Yue’er?”

“She’s hiding, second brother needn’t worry,” Xiao Yuchuan called out as he walked out of the room.
