Chapter 45 Corrupt Officials

The yamen servant stretched out five fingers and said: "If Miss Nan comes up with this number, everything will be easier to handle?"

Nan Yan wanted to laugh.

This person just wants money.

If she has money, the yamen can help her judge the case. If she doesn't have money, she can only suffer the loss of being dumb and let her flower seeds be lost in vain.

What's even more disgusting is that if she gives money, with the attitude of the Yamen, she might be beaten into submission and get Wu Wu and others to confess.

Nan Yan casually ran her slender fingers across the tea cup and said, "If I say no and insist on closing the case, I will know who the trafficker is!"

The officer was stunned?

Then he looked at her and said: "You are also an adult of mine. Seeing that Miss Nan is alone and has settled down in our Linzhou, I would like to help you. Otherwise," he said nothing.

Nan Yan guessed the meaning of the Yamen servant's words and sneered: "I'd like to trouble you to make one more trip." Then, with an expressionless face, she ordered the guests to be kicked out.

The yamen servant shook his head and came out with another yamen servant. He was amazed and said: "No wonder Mr. Dong has this idea. Even I feel itchy after seeing it."

"Who can say otherwise? Look at that charming face and graceful figure. She is much better than the tigress in my family. If the one in my family were like this, I would have to go back earlier in the evening." Another Yamen agreed.

The government servant walking in front just sneered and ignored his words.

In fact, he secretly scolded his companions, saying that the toad wants to eat swan meat.

She didn't even look in the mirror, but she still imagined such a beauty.

However, everyone wants a rich and beautiful woman.

If they get the property from Nan Yan, an ordinary family like them will be able to eat and drink for the rest of their lives even if they don't work.

The two of them were walking back to the Yamen Road with their own thoughts, when they were suddenly hit by an unknown stone and fell to the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard they climbed.

In the end, I could only shout to passers-by to help take them back to the Yamen.

On Nan Yan's side, after the two government servants left, her face was so dark that ink dripped from her face.

She thought about how lonely and helpless women had a difficult life in ancient times.

I never expected that even if she has a certain degree of popularity and money, some people still don't take her seriously.

Secretly, he manipulated her in secret while he waited for her to develop her career.

However, these people thought that she was too weak and wanted to rely on money to smoothen their relationships, or rely on her beauty to gain a position.

After the housekeeper sent the two government servants out, he returned to the front yard and said cautiously, "Miss, what should we do next?"

Nan Yan snorted coldly and said: "The yamen didn't help with the matter and went directly to the prefect. What if the prefect didn't do it?

"snort!"

Later, she wanted to say that she wouldn't mind killing the person if nothing was done.

Anyway, she was alone. Even if she killed a few corrupt officials and was wanted by the court, she would still be afraid.

Zi Su and Butler Zhang on the side:???

Why does their young lady’s tone sound wrong?

Before Nan Yan could go to the magistrate to report the case, Zhang San, whom Ye Xiaoyun mentioned before, came to her house.

Zhang San, tall and straight, followed the housekeeper to the front yard. After saluting Nan Yan, he said: "Zhang San has met Miss Nan."

Immediately after, he said: "I heard that something happened here, Miss Nan, so I came to see if there is any use for Miss Nan here."

As Zhang San introduced himself, Nan Yan was stunned at first, and then just found it funny.

This man thought she was a little chick and had to protect her at all times.

Look at the trouble on her side, the person he arranged before appeared in front of him.

It turns out that the people he arranged to come here saved her, a weak woman, from having to face those monsters.

Nan Yan knew that Zhang San was Ye Xiaoyun's son, so after Zhang San saluted, she asked him and the housekeeper to go to the magistrate to report the affairs of her family and the Yamen.

Soon, the Yamen County Magistrate had just waited for his two limping subordinates. Before he could finish asking for Nan Yan's answer, he was scolded by the prefect who hurried over.

The next day, Wu Wu and others, who were already in jail, looked out the window with despair, wondering what they were thinking.

They didn't wait for a long time, and were quickly taken out of the cell by the yamen officer. Then they heard the yamen officer say: "Brothers, I have offended many people before. I hope you don't blame me."

Friday et al:???

Even if the yamen officer was reprimanded by his superior, he would not say anything to them other than dryly apologizing to Friday and others.

On Friday, several people were in a state of confusion. Under the review of the supervisor, they recounted what happened in the field the night before yesterday.

The first person to speak was Friday, who said: "Sir, because it was dark at night, the common people only saw people chopping flowers with knives. Those people heard the sounds of the common people, and before the common people came close, they ran away in a swarm without a trace."

In addition, what Zhou Laoer said was almost the same as Friday’s confession.

Only Aunt Lanhua cried and shouted that because of her son's health, her family was unable to go to the field to check at night and could not find out who the culprit was.

The yamen held a meeting for a while, but no useful clues could be found from them on Friday.

After reporting to the county magistrate and the prefect, we continued to Shanghe to look for clues.

They couldn't find any useful clues in the field, but they were sure of one thing.

The case of Nan Yan Huazhong must have been committed by someone familiar with the place.

The people who are familiar with the land include the villagers from Shanghe Village and the villagers from several neighboring villages.

So several government officials who were sent to solve the case went from door to door to inquire and investigate.

When they arrived at Wang Yingying's house, they saw Wang Yingying lowering her head and saying in a low voice: "We don't know who did this, but I saw Ping'an, the eldest brother of the Yang family, went to the city two days ago."

Several government officials looked at each other, recorded what Wang Yingying said, and said, "I wonder what else did the girl see?"

Wang Yingying was silent, pretending to think for a while, and said: "I don't know, I only know that he came back carrying several sacks."

Wang Yingying said these words and soon gave the government officials a clue.

Several people followed Yang Ping'an's trip to the city, and it didn't take a day to confirm that the flower seeds in Nan Yan's field were indeed dug by Yang Ping'an in the middle of the night, and then carried them to the city and sold them to the Dong family.

As for why the county magistrate accepted the Dong family's benefits in the first place, these government officials did not investigate the Dong family.

There is still an old saying, "Money can make the world go round."

The Dong family was considered a wealthy family in the city and often dealt with the yamen, so people from the yamen naturally went to his house to investigate.

After the case was settled, the prefect directly ordered the arrest of human traffickers.

This matter was originally handled by the Yamen, but later because of Zhang San's intervention, the prefect took over.

The night before the yamen went to Shanghe Village, Yang Pingan felt very uneasy.

After the others were taken away on Friday, he began to worry about whether Nan Yan would find out that he had done this and ask the government officials to come and arrest him.

I was scratching my head at home, thinking about how he would deal with it later if Nan Yan found out that he did it.

After much thought, he couldn't think of a good solution, so he quietly came to Wang's house in the dark and couldn't see clearly at night, and used a secret code that only he and Wang Yingying knew, to ask Wang Yingying to go out for discussion.

At this time, Wang Yingying was also restless at home, walking around the room thinking about what to do.

She was suddenly startled when she heard the cuckoo chirping outside.

Then anger flashed in his eyes.

The Wang family's parents were lying on the bed and were still asleep. When the Wang father heard the cuckoo's call, he asked his wife next to him strangely: "Why are there still cuckoos calling at night?"
