Chapter 283: It’s All Because It Was Spoilt

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the Southern Frontier was a dilapidated place, the Governor was a first-grade official. He could easily take down County Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang had not worn enough of the black veil hat on his head. He begged, “Sir, please spare my life. I failed to recognize you. I beg for your forgiveness! ”

He pointed at Xu Baisheng and said, “What he did has nothing to do with me. I really don’t know anything! Really, Sir, I don’t know anything!!! It’s all his fault. Just take him away! ‘

When Xu Baisheng heard Zhang Jiayan shirk his relationship with him and not care about his life, and asked You Huaijie to take him away.

He was furious and shouted with all his might, “Bullsh*t! If it weren’t for you, why would I have done those things? You took so much money from me and still want to escape? Dream on! Zhang Jiayan! Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!’

Magistrate Zhang gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain his last bit of rationality. “The Governor has good judgement. Why would he believe your nonsense! ”

Xu Baisheng knew that You Huaijie had come prepared and that he won’t be able to escape punishment after what he had done. He said, “I’ve already recorded down the money I gave you every month. Zhang Jiayan, if you think you can survive along, there’s no such way!”

…..
“Sir, the account book is under my bed. All of this was instigated by the Zhang Jiayan. It was also his idea to make me chop off the tendons of the villagers and intimidate them!’

When County Magistrate Zhang heard that there was an account book, he panicked and actually took the initiative to admit that he had colluded with Xu Baisheng. He shouted, “You were the one who took the initiative to give me money and ask for my protection!!!” His fat face actually revealed an innocent expression. How ridiculous.

You Huaijie got someone to bring over the account book and casually flipped through two pages. There were hundreds of taels of records written down.

Xu Baisheng had a record of at least ten times a month. After more than a year, it was already a huge sum of money that was enough to make County Magistrate Zhang die a thousand times.

You Huaijie closed the account book. ‘Take it back to the government office first!”

When he brought it back to the government office, he would have to start the interrogation.

Once the matter was exposed, there was nothing they could do.

Thinking that he might die, Magistrate Zhang, who was limp on the ground, erupted with power. He crawled to You Huaijie’s feet and actually publicly bribed him. “Your Excellency, Governor, I’m willing to donate all my assets to you. Please let me live!”

You Huaijie stood with his back to the light. Magistrate Zhang could not see his expression under the shadow.

The fear of death had already annihilated him. Thinking that You Huaijie was not satisfied, he cried and shouted, “Sir, there are still golden bricks buried under my courtyard. Please let me go!”

You Huaijie’s expression finally changed. “What else?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Magistrate Zhang immediately sensed a slim hope of survival. He said excitedly, ‘My old residence also has 5,000 taels of gold in the latrine!”

“Nothing else?” You Huaijie asked.

County Magistrate Zhang panicked again. Tears and snot flowed down his face. “Governor, there’s really no more. As long as you spare my life, I’ll definitely be filial to you every year!’

Xu Baisheng also thought that You Huaijie was a greedy person, and his hope of survival was reignited. “Sir, I also have money. I also have a secret room filled with gold, silver, and jewelry. If you’re not satisfied, I can pay respects to you every year!’

Just as the two of them were filled with anticipation that they would be spared, You Huaijie’s expression darkened and he scolded, “Pay respects every year? It’s not enough to plunder the people’s wealth and harm them for a year, but you even plan to do so for the rest of your lives. You’re really shameless! The people of Immortal County are really unlucky to meet people like you.”

“Bring everyone along! ”

The arrogant County Magistrate Zhang and his lackeys were all tied up and walked forward in a sorry state. The citizens of Immortal County immediately became excited and asked each other what was going on.

They did not know if County Magistrate Zhang would really be punished, so they did not dare to say anything.

It was not until everyone followed the team all the way to the government office and heard You Huaijie’s clear judgment of the case. He announced that Magistrate Zhang and Xu Baisheng would be executed the next day. Their assets would be confiscated to compensate the victims. After the dust settled, everyone woke up from their daze and knelt down to shout, ‘Thank you, Lord of Justice! Thank you, Lord of Justice!!!’

You Huaijie nodded slightly, like a magnanimous official. No one could tell that he was actually a dark guard pretending.

As the governor of the Southern Frontier, You Huaijie had the right to communicate directly with Emperor Ling Hui.

He sent a letter to Emperor Ling Hui and arranged for the officials to take over. He immediately set off to chase after the team, but when he left the city gate, he was stopped by the commoners.

“Is the Governor leaving?’

You Huaijie nodded from the horse’s back.

The commoners immediately asked excitedly, “Sir, can you not leave? ‘

It wasn’t easy for there to be a Lord to stand up for them. They didn’t want him to leave.

Why would such a good official be sent to the uncivilized Southern Frontier? It would be better to stay in their Immortal County.

You Huaijie: “1 still have an important task at hand. Everyone, you should head back!”

Hearing You Huaijie’s words, the commoners cried excitedly. They knew that they could not keep him, so they could only silently follow behind You Huaijie’s team and send him off.

The group heading to the Southern Frontier moved slowly. You Huaijie caught up with them, with a group of commoners behind him.

These commoners had lost their trust in the Imperial Court. You Huaijie had upheld justice for them and even given them compensation. They had decided to follow You Huaijie and firmly believed that even if they went to the Southern Frontier, they would definitely have a good life with a good official like You Huaijie.

The more migrants who could take the initiative to head to the Southern Frontier, the better. You Huaijie naturally wouldn’t chase them away. He even specially sent soldiers to protect them.

This made the migrants of Immortal County even more touched. Their steps forward became even more firm.

The sun was about to set, and the team prepared to set up camp.

The citizens of Immortal County who had newly joined praised You Huaijie for being fair and just to everyone. Their eyes were filled with admiration and reverence.

Auntie Yang used the soaked mushrooms to make chicken soup for Wen

Renhua and sighed. “Lord You is really different from his son. He’s a good official!” She had almost forgotten how ferocious You Huaijie looked when he first arrived at Youjia Village and wished he could kill the entire village.

Xiaobai smelled the food fragrance and crawled over again, looking at her eagerly as it waited to be fed.

Xiaobai had done a great job by finding Wen Renhua. Gu Zhongxun had secretly given it a lot of snacks, and Lin Yue had secretly given it a roasted chicken.

Bai Wutong was also happy, so she turned a blind eye and allowed it to be happy for two days.

But it was impossible to continue on like this.

Bai Wutong walked over and pinched Xiaobai’s mouth. “You just ate a dustpan of meat. You’re not allowed to eat anymore.”

Xiaobai’s mouth was held together, and it howled skillfully, as if it was saying that it understood. It glanced in Stinky’s direction and gestured for her to quickly let go. It was going to play with Stinky.

When Xiaobai found Wen Renhua in the forest, Bai Wutong guessed the reason why it had failed to lose weight. She said fiercely, “You’re quite capable! You ate more behind my back and even knew to find someone to cover for you. You’re not allowed to go anywhere in the future. Be good and lose weight. Only when you lose weight can you go out!’

It couldn’t even find more food by itself. Xiaobai immediately wailed miserably. Its beautiful ice-blue eyes were filled with human-like sadness.

Auntie Yang clicked her tongue. ‘Xiaobai has really become like a human.”

Bai Wutong was amused. “It’s all because it was spoilt..”
