Chapter 1831: Wanting to Kill the Yang Family
Editor: Henyee Translations
The group of people soon arrived at the county office. A bailiff saw them and hurriedly ran back to tell the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was drinking tea and chatting with the private advisor. They were talking about the Yang family.
"It’s been so many years. It’s time for the Yang family to disappear from Anyi County."
The private advisor smiled and said, "It’s all because of your patience. If it were me, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have been able to get up from the beginning. How could I let them jump until now?"
The county magistrate laughed. He had always been cautious and was used to cooking frogs in warm water. In the end, he would finish the frog in one go.
Otherwise, how could he take down the former county magistrate back then? Wasn’t it because he had sufficient evidence that he started to take action?
He did want to deal with the Yang Family, but this had to be done slowly. If he ate the Yang Family in one go, it would easily attract attention and the Yang Family would rebound.
Yang Wenli, in particular, was very good at causing trouble. If the county magistrate wanted him to lose all his assets, he had to do it secretly.
Fortunately, Yang Wenli wasn’t smart. He didn’t have much talent in business and often spent a lot of money to make losses.
If the Yang family’s business was still in Yang Zhifu’s hands, he would be a little restrained. After all, Yang Zhifu was a cautious man. It would not be easy to set a trap for him.
"Sir, what crime do you plan to charge Yang He with?"
The county magistrate glanced at him and smiled. "How can that be considered as me planning to charge? It’s obvious that he colluded with the Ji family’s medical center to frame the junior brother of the head of the Imperial Hospital. He’s such a bad person. He’s not a scholar."
The assistant was stunned for a moment. He understood that the county magistrate wanted to deprive Yang He of the right to take the exam.
Yang He had been studying for so many years, but he had not taken the exam for a long time. Firstly, he had too many worries at home and could not focus on his studies. Even if he did, he was not confident.
Secondly, he was worried that the county magistrate would interfere. Although he knew that it was unrealistic to transfer the county magistrate to another place, he still had such expectations. He thought that after the county magistrate left, he would be able to become an Elementary Scholar.
Needless to say, such expectations had been fulfilled.
It was true that the County Magistrate Mao could be promoted, but before he left Anyi County, he had to make sure that Yang He would never be promoted.
Otherwise, Yang He might avenge his maternal ancestor and deal with him.
The county magistrate had always thought far ahead and had to eliminate all possibilities.
It was just as well now. As long as Yang He’s crime was confirmed, even if he was transferred away, there was no one in Anyi County who would dare to vouch for a person with a bad reputation who had been imprisoned. Without anyone to vouch for him, what test would he take?
Thinking of this, the county magistrate felt so happy that he took two sips of tea.
The bailiff outside came in at this moment. "Sir, they’re here."
The county magistrate narrowed his eyes and put the teacup on the table. He stood up and tidied his clothes. He dusted his sleeves and said to the private advisor, "Let’s go to the court."
The private advisor immediately stood up and followed respectfully behind. They arrived at the hall together.
The county magistrate sat down in the hall and said, "The meeting starts."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bailiffs on both sides straightened their backs and knocked on the ground with the killing rods in their hands. "Silence ~ Respect ~"
"Du du du" sounds made the commoners standing outside keep quiet out of fear.
The county magistrate looked up at the bailiff next to him. The man understood and raised his chin. "Bring the suspects."
This person’s voice was very high and especially sharp.
As soon as he finished speaking, a constable pushed the two of them down the hall.
