Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 764: Chapter 764: The Wicked Woman Farms (20)

”Mother.” Jiang Yuyu called out to Yang Cuicui in the back courtyard, ”Come out quickly.”

”What for?” Yang Cuicui said irritably, ”I am busy here.”

”You need to come out and see, there are official soldiers at Jiang Chuzheng’s place,” Jiang Yuyu urged.

As soon as Yang Cuicui heard this, she immediately put down what she was doing and came out of the back courtyard, ”Official soldiers?”

Jiang Yuyu nodded and pulled Yang Cuicui to go outside.

The two of them peeped through the cracks of the door, looking outside.

There were still some official soldiers outside the courtyard who had not entered, and at the moment, they had Jiang Chuzheng and the Bandits Group completely surrounded.

”What’s going on?”

”I don’t know, these official soldiers suddenly appeared,” Jiang Yuyu explained. ”I heard them say that it seems like...something was stolen.”

Yang Cuicui slapped her thigh, ”She suddenly had so much money recently; she must have robbed it with those shady people, and now she’s been exposed.”

”Mother, that can’t be the case...” Jiang Yuyu was somewhat incredulous.

”Hmph, do those people around her look like good people to you?”

Each one looked fierce and evil.

Even if they were well-dressed, the feeling they gave off was not of upstanding character.

-

”Clang...”

A pile of gold and silverware was thrown down in front of Chuzheng.

The leading official soldier came out from inside.

”All these items belong to Zhang Yuanwai, and they are marked with the seal of Zhang Residence; what more do you have to say for yourself? Take her away! Hand her over to the County Magistrate for punishment!”

Chuzheng looked to Liang Han, who nodded slightly.

Chuzheng did not resist at all but followed them. She had intended to leave Autumn behind, but he refused to stay, so Chuzheng had no choice but to bring him along.

The leading official soldier did not care about one more person.

Arresting one was arresting.

Arresting two was also arresting.

-

”My lord, come here~”

The blindfolded County Magistrate listened to that seductive voice that seemed to melt into the bone and laughed obscenely.

”Beauty, where are you?”

”Over here~”

”Don’t run.”

”My lord, I’m right here~”

The two of them were having a great time when suddenly someone outside started shouting urgently.

”My lord, my lord...”

The County Magistrate didn’t want to be bothered, but the voice grew closer and closer.

He snatched off the blindfold and glanced at the beauty in the room, ”My beauty, wait here for me, I will be back shortly.”

”My lord, your servant will be waiting for you~” The beauty gave him a flirtatious look.

The County Magistrate felt a surge of lust rising within him.

But with the urgent calling from outside, he could only storm out in anger.

”My lord, we have made an arrest.”

”What person did you find!” The County Magistrate berated the man for interrupting his pleasure, showing no semblance of propriety.

”It’s... it’s... the Jiang Chuzheng you asked us to arrest.”

The County Magistrate’s mind cleared instantly.

”You caught her?”

”Yes, we caught her.”

The County Magistrate straightened his official hat, which had become crooked, and adjusted his appearance, ”Proceed to court.”

The County Magistrate thought that Chuzheng would at most be a woman with some good looks, but he didn’t expect her to be this beautiful.

Chuzheng’s skin was so much whiter than before that it was beyond comparison.

With fair skin, one can cover up three flaws.

The original owner’s facial features were not ugly. Although she couldn’t compare to those top beauties, she was still much more attractive than the average person.

Combined with the clothes and the aura exuding from Chuzheng,

it was a complete transformation.

The County Magistrate was spellbound; only after a reminder from someone did he come to his senses. With a bang of the gavel, he cried, ”Who is under my court!”

Wasn’t it said there was only one woman? Why was a man also brought back?

Autumn kept his head down and was half-hidden behind Chuzheng, so the County Magistrate didn’t get a clear look at his face.

”You invited me here, yet you don’t know who I am?”

”...” Who invited her? This was an arrest!

The County Magistrate, feeling his authority challenged by the retort, exclaimed, ”How dare you! Why do you not kneel in the presence of the magistrate!”

Chuzheng lifted her gaze, and her lips parted slightly, the icy words crashing down upon the County Magistrate, ”You are not worthy.”

The County Magistrate was so angry he slammed the gavel repeatedly.

”Presumptuous! Presumptuous!!”

”Defying this official, beat her!!” Mercy for ladies, nonexistent! He now wanted to properly teach this young woman a lesson and show her the consequences of defying the County Magistrate.

-

The County Magistrate cowered under the desk, shivering uncontrollably.

Above in the hall, the yamen’s people lay scattered on the ground.

Chuzheng, from where she acquired it is unknown, dragged over a chair for Qiu Ya to sit, ”Wait here for me obediently, do not move.”

Qiu Ya immediately placed his hands properly, ”I won’t move, I’ll wait for you.”

”Afraid?”

”Not afraid.” Qiu Ya tried not to look at the people on the ground, forcing a small smile, ”With you here, I’m not afraid.”

Chuzheng kissed his forehead and walked over to the desk.

”County Magistrate.”

The girl’s haunting voice rose.

In this court where mirrors hung high, it sounded eerie and ghostly.

As if not coming from the world of the living, but rising from underground.

”Mercy, have mercy!!” The County Magistrate cried, hugging his head, ”Heroine, have mercy.”

”You wanted to hit me just now?”

”No, no.” The County Magistrate denied it.

”I heard wrong?”

”No, no...” The County Magistrate realized something was wrong and hurriedly corrected himself, ”Yes, the heroine heard wrong.”

”How much money did Zhang Yuanwai give you?”

”...” The County Magistrate hugged his head, trembling like a sieve, but he hesitated and did not reply.

Bang!

The gavel struck the desk, and as the County Magistrate hid below, the sound drilled into his eardrums, causing a momentary deafness.

”Five... five hundred taels.”

The County Magistrate dared not refuse to answer.

”Five hundred taels?”

”Yes, yes, yes...”

”Isn’t it said that the wealthiest Yuanwai nearby, only gave you five hundred taels?” How stingy.

”...” Five hundred taels were quite a lot!

Of course, the County Magistrate dared not voice this.

”Do you think your position as county official is worth five hundred taels?”

”...”

The County Magistrate did not quite grasp what Chuzheng meant.

But soon he understood.

Someone had come to strip him of his office.

The new County Magistrate, striding with purpose, had thought upon arrival that he would face a tough battle yet, to find instead, a girl sitting on the desk, whereabouts of the County Magistrate unknown, and people lying all over the floor with an extremely handsome young man sitting amongst them.

This...

What is happening?

Liang Han followed the new County Magistrate and whispered a few words into his ear.

The new County Magistrate immediately gave Chuzheng a salute.

Chuzheng hopped off the table and kicked at it, ”The person is underneath.”

The County Magistrate was dragged out, paralyzed with fright, his trousers damp, completely devoid of any will to resist.

The new County Magistrate was somewhat surprised to see him in this state.

How did he get so terrified?

However, looking at the situation at the scene, the new County Magistrate felt a measure of understanding.

He cleared his throat lightly and brought out the official appointment letter and the County Magistrate’s indictment.

The County Magistrate, being accused of bribery, harming the citizens, and arbitrarily raising taxes, was now too scared to offer a defense and was taken into custody to await trial.

”Miss... Miss Jiang.” The new County Magistrate called out hesitantly.

”Zhang Yuanwai has bribed the county official, framed innocent citizens...”

”Miss Jiang, rest assured, I will handle it properly,” the new County Magistrate assured with a pat on his chest.

Chuzheng stared deeply at the new County Magistrate, calming swallowing back the rest of her words.

”Do your job well.”

”Yes, of course,” he replied.

Liang Han: ”...” Dirty dealings!
