Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 918 - 920: An Upright and Incorruptible Magistrate
Seeing that magistrate with an indifferent expression, making it hard to read their intentions, Yang Ming always felt this magistrate was not soone easy to deal with.
His heart was also hanging in suspense; indeed, he was anxious. Such circumstances made people distrust the magistrate.
However, his wife and son were still trapped in Anding Village, and he had no choice but to resort to this last asure. He looked at the magistrate with a firm gaze, "Magistrate, I don’t think you’ll wrong the villagers. Uncovering the truth is just a matter of ti, and this isn’t a complicated case. As long as we interrogate the person who poisoned and Master Bai, everything will be clear. I ca here entirely because my wife and child are trapped in Anding Village and not allowed to leave, while we have urgent matters to attend to that cannot be delayed, hence my arrival."
The magistrate looked at Yang Ming, with red eyes, like he hadn’t slept for several nights, probably having rushed here, showing how anxious he was, "Are you in a hurry to leave Anding Village?"
"Yes, sir. If there wasn’t an urgent matter, we wouldn’t be in such a rush."
The magistrate nodded and then continued to ask, "How many days have the villagers going to dicine King Valley been gone?"
"I think it’s been five days. Unexpectedly, soone might have reached dicine King Valley by now because they had horse-drawn carriages. Those without carriages might arrive slower."
After hearing this, the magistrate considered for a mont, "Soone, co here."
A governnt official stepped forward, "Sir."
"Rush to dicine King Valley with haste to verify the villagers’ condition from Anding Village. Travel through the night without stopping, and return imdiately after verifying."
"Yes, sir." The governnt official left imdiately after receiving the order.
The magistrate looked at Yang Ming and spoke, "I have already sent soone to dicine King Valley. It’s not far from here. You can stay at the county town’s inn for the next two days and wait for news. I’ll send a governnt official to take you to the inn. Also, the officials sent to Anding Village will return soon. Once they return, I’ll quickly uncover the truth and won’t delay you much longer."
"Thank you, magistrate." Yang Ming was unexpected; in his impulsiveness, he actually won the gamble.
It seems this magistrate is not like the one from Shanshi County; this magistrate is a good official who serves the people.
Yang Ming is extrely grateful now that the county town is not far from dicine King Valley. If they rush back and forth, it will only take two days, leaving ti for his son.
This ti, Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao really hit the mark. This county’s magistrate is an upright and just good magistrate. Upon hearing of the incident in Anding Village, he sent people to investigate. He certainly wouldn’t unjustly kill villagers but first sealed the village for security reasons and sent doctors over.
Now soone has inford him of Anding Village’s specific situation; he naturally takes delight in it.
This matter, after all, has made people panic, so it should be resolved as quickly as possible.
"Soone, take him to the inn."
"Yes, sir."
Yang Ming followed the governnt official and arrived at the governnt office’s inn, "Big brother, just rest here. When we have news, we’ll co and inform you."
"Thank you, brother officer."
"You happen to have t a good magistrate like ours."
"Yes." At this mont, Yang Ming was indeed extrely grateful. If it were truly like their county’s magistrate, it would be over; who knows how many people would die.
Afterward, Yang Ming stayed at the inn, waiting for news from the governnt office. While waiting, Yang Ming was not idle, but instead wandered throughout the county town to inquire about Divine Doctor Xue and Xiaotian, but to no avail.
