Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world

After Lin Dai left the county government office, she went shopping along the way. When traveling, one should act like a tourist. When she was tired of shopping, she would find a good restaurant to eat, rest well, and then continue shopping. She would return to the inn at night.

Besides, Shen Qing had already discovered the letter at this time, because he was handling affairs in the study room at that time. Suddenly, a white light flashed in his eyes. When the white light disappeared, a letter appeared on the table.

I was really scared at that time, and I didn't react for a long time before I mustered up the courage to pick up the letter and read it. Only then did I feel a little relieved.

Shen Qing sat in the chair in silence, thinking in his heart: This is the man called Wuyou Gongzi again, who is he? This ability is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, but fortunately, this man has no ill will towards Dayan, on the contrary, he is still a friendly person. After thinking for a while, he wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to the capital. Then he ordered someone to prepare horses and set off for Suhe County tomorrow morning. Shen Qing decided to meet this Wuyou Gongzi in person.

When Lin Dai was still watching Boonie Bears in the space, she heard the system say that someone was knocking on the door outside, so she left the space and opened the door. It was Zhang Da's people who said that Zhang Da asked him to go to the county government office immediately, and the Qingyang County Magistrate was here. Lin Dai didn't expect that Shen Qing would come in person, so she decided to meet him.

Lin Dai packed herself up and followed the servant to the county government office. Zhang Da was waiting for her at the door again. Lin Dai asked in confusion, "Why are you waiting for me here instead of accompanying County Magistrate Shen? Where is he?"

Zhang Da rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "I'm nervous. I don't know how to face County Magistrate Shen. It's awkward sitting there. So I came out to wait for the young master. County Magistrate Shen is sitting in the hall." As he said that, he invited Lin Dai to come over.

When Lin Dai walked into the hall, Shen Qing stared at her, looking her up and down, and exclaimed in his heart: What a handsome boy! He had heard of her several times before and had indirect contact with her, but had never seen her in person. Although he had seen many rich children in the capital, including the prince, Lin Dai gave him a very special feeling. It was no wonder that Shen Qing felt this way. Now Lin Dai drank spiritual spring water every day, took a bath in the spiritual spring from time to time, and practiced. Her temperament and appearance were rarely seen on this continent.

Seeing that the two were silent, Zhang Da took the initiative to introduce them: "Mr. Wuyou, this is Magistrate Shen. Magistrate Shen, this is Mr. Wuyou."

Shen Qing stood up, bowed and greeted Lin Dai, and raised the steps by the way: "I have heard of Master Wuyou's great name for a long time. Today I see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation. I am Shen Qing, the magistrate of Qingyang County. I think there is no need for me to introduce myself. Master Wuyou must have known me well."

"Sir Shen, you are too polite. My name is Master Wuyou, I cannot say anything else, but I do know Sir Shen, otherwise I would not send you gifts again and again." After saying that, he sat down on the chair without any hesitation. Zhang Da stood aside and said nothing. Seeing Lin Dai sitting down, he immediately poured a cup of tea over. Lin Dai took the cup and continued, "But this time, I didn't expect Sir Shen to come to Suhe County in person. I wonder if Sir Shen has anything to do?"

Seeing Lin Dai's straightforwardness, Shen Qing sat down on the chair and answered without hesitation: "I came here for two reasons. The first is how to deal with the bandit issue mentioned in the letter, and the second is for Master Wuyou."

Lin Dai nodded, thought for a while and said, "How about this, Lord Shen, let's do the first thing first. The bandit matter has been delayed for a few days. We will have plenty of time to talk about it after we finish it."

Before, Shen Qing was a little worried that Lin Dai would not want to meet or talk, but now that he heard Lin Dai say this, he felt relieved: "Okay, as long as Master Wuyou has no objection."

"In that case, please talk about the case first, my lords. I will not disturb you." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave. Shen Qing also stood up to see him off, but Lin Dai stopped him and stepped forward and whispered to Shen Qing, "Sir Shen, although Zhang Da bought his official position, he is a good person and wants to be a good official. It's just that he is not very good here." After saying that, she pointed to her head and left.

Lin Dai left the county government office with a sigh of relief, fearing that they would ask her to discuss the case together. Seeing that it was almost noon, she said, "Pangpang, sister will take you to eat delicious food, go!"

While Lin Dai and the system were enjoying their meals, Shen Qing was feeling miserable. Where did Zhang Da really have so many questions to ask? Shen Qing believed what Lin Dai said about Zhang Da, who really wanted to be a good official, but he also didn't know anything and had to ask questions about everything.

At first, I was a little afraid of him, but after chatting for a while, his true nature was completely exposed. It was already past lunch time, and I didn't know how to treat him. I had been on the road since early in the morning and didn't have breakfast. Now my stomach is starting to growl. After answering a question, Zhang Da wanted to ask something else, but Shen Qing interrupted him and reminded him that it was time to eat. Zhang Da stopped asking questions and asked someone to serve the meal.

The streets of the county town became lively that afternoon. A yamen runner walked around with a gong, beating it and shouting, "The county magistrate will try the bandits and their accomplices from Dazhuang Mountain at the county yamen at noon tomorrow. The people are invited to watch." Other yamen runners posted notices on the notice wall. The people gathered around to watch and discuss the matter. They couldn't believe that the county magistrate Zhang Da could catch the bandits, and they were all ready to go and watch the joke the next day.

The next day, before the court session, many people gathered outside the county government office, but most of them were there to watch the show. When the county government office door opened at noon, everyone rushed in to find a good seat.

Zhang Da came out and saw so many people were frightened. He calmed himself down and walked into the hall. He sat on a chair, picked up the gavel and slammed it, saying, "Court is open!" The yamen runners said, "Mighty..."

To be honest, Zhang Da was very nervous but excited at this moment. He had thought of asking Shen Qing to stay beside him, but was rejected because it was unreasonable.

Zhang Da straightened his body and knocked on the table again: "Bring the bandit leader Shi Yong and his accomplices to the court." After being brought up, several people knelt down and kowtowed. Only Liu Qian was unwilling to kneel down. He stood arrogantly in the hall and said contemptuously: "Zhang Da, you'd better let me go quickly, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."

Zhang was so angry that he shouted, "How dare you." After that, a yamen runner kicked Liu Qian to his knees. Liu Qian was so angry that he cursed, "Which yamen runner dared to kick me? Do you want to quit?" The people in the county yamen were all clinging to his thighs. He wanted to see who it was. He turned around and saw that it was an unfamiliar yamen runner, but the murderous intent was clearly emanating from this person. Liu Qian was so scared that he immediately stopped and kept muttering in his heart, who is this person? How could Zhang Da have such a subordinate. In fact, this yamen runner was brought by Shen Qing. How could Liu Qian think of it.

"Liu Qian, as a master, you concealed the existence of bandits, secretly colluded with bandits to rob others of their money, raped women, and oppressed the people. You also secretly collected huge amounts of protection fees and opened a black gambling house. Your crimes are extremely serious. Do you admit it?"

"Your Excellency, you are being wronged. As a county magistrate, how could I collude with bandits? This must be a slander. You know what kind of person I am." Liu Qian still thought that Zhang Da was still the same fool as before and believed his words without a doubt.

Zhang Da snorted coldly and said, "Of course, I know exactly what kind of person you are. Do you think I am still the fool who fools around and obeys everyone? Shi Yong, tell me, who is your accomplice?"

"Your Excellency, it's this Master Liu Qian. According to him, he stopped someone from reporting to the police about bandits. He came to me and asked me to give him some benefits from time to time so that he would not send people to suppress the bandits and could also provide protection." Shi Yong explained everything clearly, not daring to hide anything. He didn't want to suffer the punishment he had suffered last night again.

Zhang Da then asked: "Then can you admit what you have done?"

"Yes, I admit it all."

"Liu Qian, do you have anything else to say?"

"Humph, I don't admit it anyway. How can I believe the words of a bandit?" Liu Qian still didn't realize his situation at this time and still believed that there was nothing he could do to Zhang Dana.

"You refuse to admit it. Someone bring the criminal Zhuang Ergou." Zhang Da hasn't used the physical and witness evidence in his hand yet, and he's still afraid that he won't admit it.

"Zhuang Ergou, do you have anything to confess?"

“My name is Zhuang Ergou, a villager of Zhuangjia Village, and I’m also the liaison between Master Liu and the bandits. I met Master Liu in the gambling house he opened. He asked me to do things for him in exchange for benefits.” At this moment, Zhuang Ergou, like Shi Yong, did not want to go through what happened last night again, so they confessed everything at once.

Zhang Da slammed the hall's door with a bang: "Liu Qian, what else do you have to say? Is what this witness said enough? If not, I have more here." Then he threw down a pile of papers. Liu Qian picked them up and saw that they were the black accounts of his gambling house and other evidence. He immediately backed down.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhang Da pronounced the verdict: "The evidence against Liu Qian and others is conclusive and their crimes are extremely heinous! Now I, the official, pronounce the verdict. Liu Qian is sentenced to death and the execution will be carried out at 3:15 tomorrow afternoon. Zhuang Ergou, Shi Yong and other bandits will be exiled to the border in three days. All the prisoners' property will be confiscated and used to benefit the people, and all victims can receive compensation from the county government." After he finished speaking, the people outside the hall cheered.
