On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

On the other hand, Mr. Chen brought his son to the county government office to report the case, but was left waiting in a public house for a long time!

Just when Mr. Chen was getting anxious.

A clerk then walked over slowly and said, "Ah, sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Chen. The county exam is coming up soon and the county magistrate is really busy. You should go back today!"

Chen Yi knew these people's character best. If the county magistrate was really busy, why would he leave him alone for so long?

I just want to get some more benefits from him!

Chen Yixin and his men scolded these people for being idle but they kept smiling.

He took something out of his sleeve, stepped forward, shook the other person's hand, and placed a small silver ingot in the clerk's hand.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate is very busy with official duties, so I dare not bother you. However, the theft of the livestock at home is bizarre. If the thieves are not caught as soon as possible, it will not be good for you if these villains continue to cause trouble to the village. Don't you think so?"

The clerk squeezed the silver in his hand and was quite satisfied with Chen Yi's tact. He hesitated for a while and said, "How about this? I'll send a few good investigators to go back with you to investigate!"

Chen Yi knew that this was the best result he could get, so he bowed and thanked him, "In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

Seeing Chen Yi's agreement, the clerk immediately summoned three officers in front of the father and son and ordered them, "Follow Master Chen and investigate carefully. You must do your best!"

The three of them clasped their fists respectfully and replied, "Yes!"

After the group left, the clerk went straight to the public housing on the side.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a person sitting behind the desk, drinking tea leisurely.

The clerk respectfully handed over the silver and money, "Sir, Chen Yi has left!"

County Magistrate Zhou glanced at the small silver ingot and waved his hand, "The county exam will start the day after tomorrow. Ask the etiquette office to prepare the examination room, tables and chairs."

"Go to the restaurant tonight and book a table. Let the people below relax and have a good time! When you are on duty the day after tomorrow, be alert and don't make any mistakes!"

The clerk took the money with a smile, replied respectfully, "Yes", and then left!

The Chen family father and son quickly returned to Xixi Village with three officers. They did not go directly down the mountain to investigate, but stayed at Chen Yi's house for a long time.

Only after he had eaten three plates of snacks at Chen Yi's house and gained some benefits did he get up and go down the mountain in great style.

The three officers had learned the whole story when they were at Chen's house. They went straight to the enclosure, checked the doors and windows of the enclosure, and then walked around the mountain.

It was the season between winter and spring, and there was lush dry grass around the gables, but there was no sign of anyone trampling on the grass.

After the three of them exchanged glances, they reached a unanimous opinion that there might be an insider behind this.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to carry so many livestock without leaving any trace. This is totally unexplainable!

The leading officer, Yang, stepped forward and said, "Please ask Master Chen to bring the people who had contact with the livestock yesterday. We brothers have something to ask."

At this time, Chen Yi naturally responded to every request and immediately ordered his servants to bring Ma Pozi and her family over!

Liu, who was standing by, listened to the servants' words and hurriedly reminded her husband, "Why don't we call the third daughter-in-law as well? She was the one who took care of the livestock yesterday!"

What Liu was thinking in her mind was that it would be great if she could involve Song Xile!

If possible, it would be best to take this little brat to the county government office for detention and interrogation. This way, it might even affect the third brother's participation in the county exam!

After hearing what his wife said, Mr. Chen did not hesitate and immediately ordered, "Go and call the people over!"

When Chen Yunyou came with his wife, he saw Ma Pozi and her family kowtowing to the officers, crying out loudly that they were wronged.

Officer Yang frowned and said impatiently, "Shut up, everyone! If you keep making noise, I'll drag you away and slap you in the face!"

Mrs. Ma had just been slapped in the morning, and her cheeks were still red and swollen. When she heard the words of the officer, she trembled like a sieve and dared not howl anymore.

Seeing that the man was tactful, Officer Yang continued to ask, "Are you saying that you were not the one who saw the animals last night?"

Mrs. Ma nodded repeatedly. She saw Song Xile approaching from the corner of her eye and pointed at Song Xile and said to the officer, "Sir, it was the Third Young Master's wife who was looking after the livestock yesterday! Perhaps she took advantage of no one noticing and did something secretly?"

Chen Yun stepped forward and bowed to the officers, explaining, "Brother officers, please understand. This woman is trying to get away with it by making random accusations. My wife is only responsible for feeding the livestock. When we left in the evening, the livestock were well and truly in the stable. How could this be possible?"

Song Xile also took a step forward and bowed to Officer Yang. "Please understand, Officer, I went home with my husband after feeding the livestock last night and have not left the house since then!"

The officers were just asking as a routine matter. Otherwise, if they hadn't found any clues, it would be unreasonable for them not to pretend to do so, so they asked this question.

When Officer Yang saw Song Xile, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Isn’t this girl the doctor who treated the young master in the clinic last time?

This person is the young master's savior, and he cannot afford to anger her, otherwise she will report it to the lady.

Thinking of this, Officer Yang couldn't help but shudder!

These old-timers in officialdom are extremely alert to anything that may threaten their future.

Officer Yang changed his arrogant attitude and bowed to Song Xile with a smile, "I didn't expect to see a female doctor here. Please don't blame me for being so rude!"

Song Xile understood that the other party suddenly became polite to her because he recognized her as the female doctor who treated the young master that day.

She smiled and said, "Officer Yang, you are too polite. This is also your duty!"

After hearing Song Xile's answer, Officer Yang felt relieved, but at the same time, he became even more annoyed with Mrs. Ma who was standing beside him.

He immediately turned around and started scolding Ma Pozi and her family!

These naughty servants almost caused him to offend the favorite of his wife. He was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Ma.

"You old bastard, you dare to fool me. I don't think you will confess unless I take you back and torture you!"

He bowed to Old Master Chen and said, "Master Chen, this cunning servant is very slippery. I think we should take him to the county government office and interrogate him thoroughly!"

Liu, who was standing by, was startled. Seeing how respectful the officer was to the third son's wife, she felt a little nervous for no reason.

What if this person is taken back and confesses that she is planning to deal with the third son’s wife? What should we do?

When did the third son’s wife hook up with that big shot?

How come she hasn't heard any news?

She said somewhat embarrassedly: "Why do we have to go to the county government office?"

Officer Yang glanced at Liu, and she was so scared that she shut up immediately!

As they are responsible for managing the public security of the county, their eyes are still very sharp.

Officer Yang looked at Mr. Chen again, seeking his response.

Of course, the reason they wanted to arrest someone was not because they really wanted to investigate the case, but just to make it look like it. If the host did not respond, then that would save them trouble!

What can Chen Yi say?

Even though he was reluctant to take his farmhands away, when he thought of so many stolen livestock and the money he had paid today, he did not refuse!

He smiled apologetically and said, "Then I'll trouble you, officer!"
