The road was bumpy, and the carriage stopped in the county town.

"Get out of the car and enter the yamen!"

After Yang Butou got out of the car, he shouted loudly, and a group of police officers pushed Lin Xiao out of the car.

Lin Xiao was unsteady and almost fell, but fortunately, Zhao Qian, who came along with her, helped her up in time.

"Thank you."

Lin Xiao cast a grateful glance at Zhao Qian, and then followed Yang Butou to the Yamen.

In the yamen, a group of arresters were sitting upright, and when they saw Yang Butou and the others walk in, they immediately stood up to greet them.

"See boss!"

Seeing so many people bowing to him, Catcher Yang was secretly happy, but he pretended to be serious, and reprimanded him with a straight face:

"Sit everyone!"

The arresters said respectfully:

"Thank you boss!"

Yang Butou nodded, sat on the main seat, glanced at Lin Xiao with a pair of tiger eyes, and said in a fake and deep voice:
"You, who is your last name, where do you live, tell me all about it honestly!"

Lin Xiao sneered in his heart, this Yang Butou is a guy who can put on airs, he dares to grab the job of the county magistrate, and he is not ordinary fat!
"Lin Xiao, from Lin Family Village, Jiuzhou Town."

Lin Xiao replied lightly.

"Lin Xiao, do you know what you have committed?"

Yang Tutou raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know."

Lin Xiao answered without hesitation.

"I don't know?"

Yang Butou's face darkened, and he said angrily:

"The Shi family died of poison after thirteen bites of the salt you made. The death was tragic. Can you plead guilty?!"

"I don't admit it!" Lin Xiao said lightly, "The salt I made is not poisonous, and the deaths of the thirteen members of the Shi family have nothing to do with me!"

"How dare you deny it?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Catcher Yang was furious, slammed the table and stood up, saying:
"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

As he said that, he waved his hand, and the two yamen servants at the side rushed towards Lin Xiao with killing sticks.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao frowned.

"stop!"

At this moment, Zhao Qian sternly shouted.

The two yamen servants stopped moving forward, but they still did not put down the killing sticks in their hands, and stared at Lin Xiao viciously.

Zhao Qian glanced coldly at the two yamen servants:

"The yamen of your Jiuzhou Town is really strange. Before the magistrate of the county comes to the court, the head arrester can't wait to use lynching?"

The two yamen servants glanced at each other, hesitating whether they should listen to Zhao Qian.

At this moment, Catcher Yang said:

"What are you?! Are you tired of obstructing the court's work again and again?"

"Haha! I'm tired of living?!"

Zhao Qian couldn't stop laughing, raised his head and laughed.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Yang Butou was furious, pointed at Zhao Qian and cursed:

"Let me tell you, you offended me today, I don't care which family you belong to, you are dead!"

Catcher Yang thought that Zhao Qian was a dude from some family, so he didn't pay attention to Zhao Qian at all.

"Do you really think I have no background?"

Zhao Qian withdrew his smile, his eyes flickered with coldness, and asked in a calm tone:
"Do you know who I am?"

"Who?"

Yang Butou looked nonchalant.

"He is Mr. Zhao from the capital!"

Before Zhao Qian could answer, he saw the county magistrate running in quickly from outside the yamen, with an anxious expression on his face.

"master!"

Catcher Yang hurriedly got up and went forward.

The county magistrate gave Yang Butou a cold look, then smiled and bowed flatteringly to Zhao Qian and said:

"Master Zhao, I don't know why you come to my Jiuzhou Town when you are free?"

Zhao Qian glanced contemptuously at the magistrate:
"Master Xiao has such great official authority, he can even handle cases with his own hands!"

"Master Zhao, misunderstood! Misunderstood!"

Master Xiao hurriedly apologized.

"I don't believe in misunderstandings, I only believe seeing is believing."

Zhao Qian snorted coldly, then shifted his gaze to catch Yang behind the magistrate, and said sarcastically:

"Master Xiao's left and right arms are really eye-opening!"

Yang Butou's face changed slightly when he heard this.

How can he know that Zhao Qian's status is special and he can't afford to provoke him, so he immediately hit the snake with the stick and said with a flattering smile:

"Master Zhao, the villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, it's so offensive, I hope you don't remember the villain's mistakes, forgive the villain this time!"

The county magistrate also chimed in and said:

"Master Zhao, you must not take it to heart, this matter is all the fault of the lower officials."

Zhao Qian sneered and said:
"Both of you are wrong, why don't you accept the punishment together!"

Hearing these words, the magistrate's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face instantly froze at the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't understand who Zhao Qian was. If he really wanted to punish him, he would definitely be to blame.

The magistrate's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"Master Zhao, please spare me! I really know my mistake!"

The magistrates of the county knelt down and begged for mercy, and Catcher Yang, all the arresters and government servants naturally followed suit and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhao Qian looked at everything in front of him indifferently, he didn't care whether these people in front of him really repented or pretended to repent.

As long as anyone dares to bully him, then don't blame him for being rude!
"I don't care whether you are sincerely repenting or apologizing hypocritically. Now, you have framed my little brother for making poisonous salt and killing people. What should we do about it?"

Zhao Qian flicked his sleeves and said coldly.

When the county magistrate and Yang Butou heard the words, their faces turned pale, and they quickly kowtowed.

"Master Zhao, this matter is indeed the negligence of the lower officials. I will let someone deal with this matter immediately. Please calm down, Master Zhao!"

The magistrate said with a wry smile.

"Leave it to you guys? Heh! I'm afraid it's not that my little brother's nine lives are not enough for you to cut."

Zhao Qian sneered.

"My lord Zhao, I will definitely interrogate you strictly, and I will never wrong any good person!"

The magistrate gritted his teeth and said.

"Ah."

Zhao Qian nodded slightly, then glanced at Yang Butou again:
"You bastard, I'll leave this matter to you, if it goes wrong..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his whole body exuded a cold killing intent.

Yang Butou was trembling all over, repeatedly reassuring:

"Master Zhao, don't worry, this villain will definitely take care of it!"

Catcher Yang knew the meaning of Zhao Qian's words, if he messed up this matter, then Zhao Qian would not be able to spare him!
At this time, Zhao Qian waved his hand, and a man who looked like a servant behind him stepped forward.

The servant took a confidential letter and handed it to Catcher Yang.

"open to take a look!"

Catcher Yang took the secret letter, opened it, and immediately understood that Lin Xiao was most likely wronged.

Here are the anatomical materials of the thirteen members of the Shi family and their financial situation.

They are a well-known poor family in Shijia Village. They almost live on wild vegetables and bran on weekdays. How could they eat wild pork and rice?
Clearly there is a problem here!
And it's still a big problem!
