On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

The county magistrate nearby looked at the person next to Shen Wantang, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Okay, don't think about that. Come here quickly." A voice brought his thoughts back.

After taking a look around the county government office, Shen Wantang seemed to be thinking about something.

After lunch, there was already a huge crowd of people outside the county government office.

The common people all wanted to see this female official who came from the capital.

"Who knows how she became an official?"

"That's right, isn't she just a coquettish woman? What's there to see?"

There were many contemptuous voices in the crowd, and the men even spoke very convincingly, with the smiles on their faces becoming more obscene.

"Believe it or not, when I go over there later, she will be completely bewitched by me!"

"You? Come on, do the girls in Chunhua Tower care about you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I have prepared the betrothal gifts today, and I will propose to him later. My family has been doing business for generations, and we have a lot of gold, silver and treasures."

It's not even night yet, and someone is already daydreaming in broad daylight.

The ladies who came with their children to join in the fun curled their lips, and some stood on tiptoe to see if their husbands were there.

As soon as the gate opened, everyone couldn't wait to look inside. The county officials made way for a path, and everyone rushed in.

Shen Wantang was dressed in plain clothes, sitting high in the courtroom with a smile in his eyes.

"Mom, mom, is that a Bodhisattva sitting up there?" A little girl shook her mother's sleeves, staring blankly at Shen Wantang in the court, lost in thought.

"Everyone, now that I have opened this county court today, everyone can state their demands. If they are reasonable and in accordance with the law, I am willing to relieve your worries."

Shen Wantang's voice was loud and resonant in the county government office.

County Magistrate Jiang standing by was also fascinated - after all, she was from the capital, and this female official was much stronger than those men.

The court was crowded with people, and suddenly, a sharp cry was heard from the crowd.

An old woman stumbled into the court, fell to her knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, you have to make the decision for me!"

"That tyrant family in the south of the city not only seized my family's land, but also kidnapped my fifteen-year-old daughter a few days ago!" The old woman cried breathlessly, "I have reported this matter to the authorities many times, but there has been no response! My poor daughter! Now I don't know whether she is dead or alive!"

The shrill voice resounded throughout the county government office, and Shen Wantang's eyes, as sharp as swords, looked intently at County Magistrate Jiang who was standing beside him.

"Jiang County Magistrate, is this true?"

County Magistrate Jiang was startled and looked at his legal advisor beside him.

The lawyer also stood there in a daze for a long time. Then he looked at County Magistrate Jiang and shook his head.

"Sir Shen, I am innocent! I have not received any such report!" Shen Wantang spoke quickly.

The old woman's eyes were red, and she stood up tremblingly and was about to pounce on the county magistrate. If the bailiffs had not stopped her, she would have left some wounds on the county magistrate's body.

It is still useless to worry about whether to report the case. Right now, solving the problem is the top priority.

"Someone come here." Shen Wantang said sternly.

Several yamen runners came forward.

"Find a few skilled martial artists to go with the old man and take a look to see if it's true. Report back before dark."

After giving the order, the two yamen runners left with the old woman.

"If you have any grievances or demands, please feel free to raise them." Shen Wantang continued.

The people who had been a little reserved just now came forward one after another.

As the sun set, the people in the court slowly left.

County Magistrate Jiang, who was standing by, was already sweating profusely, with sweat pouring out of his forehead and even the black gauze hat on his head almost slipping off.

After sending the last citizen out, Shen Wantang let out a long sigh and took a sip of tea.

"County Magistrate Jiang." Shen Wantang's tone was flat, without a trace of emotion.

Magistrate Jiang's legs went limp and he fell to his knees in the court, his face pale.

"Sir Shen, your humble subject, your humble subject..." The county magistrate's voice trembled as if he could shake off two pounds of flesh.

"Don't be nervous. I don't want to blame you alone." Shen Wantang raised his eyes slowly and said, "You know how many unjust, false and wrong cases there have been in the past. County Magistrate Jiang, you know it yourself."

"It's just that the emperor has just ascended the throne and needs people. If you can settle all the bad debts you made in the past within this year, I will keep silent about it."

After the words fell, County Magistrate Jiang suddenly raised his head, tears in his eyes: "Are you serious?"

Shen Wantang nodded: "It's absolutely true."

The official hat on his head almost slipped off again. The county magistrate quickly helped it up and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize: "Thank you, Lord Shen, thank you, Lord Shen!"

After sitting in the court for an entire afternoon, Shen Wantang felt a little numb, and she slowly stood up.

"I will come again tomorrow. I want to see how the official is doing. If there is no progress on the matter I ordered today, the official who is handling the matter can also be sent to prison as well."

After leaving a few words, Shen Wantang left the county government office.

After Shen Wantang left, County Magistrate Jiang lay on the ground like a pool of stagnant water, and it took a long time for him to recover.

In the carriage, Shen Wantang rubbed his eyebrows.

Although most of the toxins in my body have been eliminated, I am still feeling a little uncomfortable after being tired for an entire afternoon.

Cen Xiao looked worried and pulled the reins carelessly: "Are you happy that I wasted a day on this useless thing, Lord Shen?"

Shen Wantang paused and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that there was no response from the carriage, Cen Xiao was tactful and did not ask any more questions.

After returning to the inn, Shen Wantang was exhausted and prepared to go back to his room to rest. But just as he was about to close the door, Cen Xiao appeared at the door at the right time.

"You haven't answered my question yet." The man asked stubbornly.

Shen Wantang turned around, sat on the toffee chair, and leaned to one side.

"Prince, I thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect that you really let me down." Shen Wantang said in a flat tone and slowly closed his eyes to relieve his fatigue.

"Don't beat around the bush." ​​Cen Xiao was feeling annoyed and spoke a little irritably.

"Sir, since you have come to the capital, you will inevitably have to deal with various officials. If you continue with your straightforward personality, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the court."

Shen Wantang said patiently.

"I don't need to establish a foothold in the court." Cen Xiao said this as if he was angry.

Shen Wantang slowly raised his eyes.

"If we don't establish our foundation in the court, then where can we establish our foundation?" she asked in return.

"Of course it's on the battlefield." Cen Xiao coughed lightly, and his usually evil eyes now had a bit more arrogance.

Shen Wantang shook his head helplessly - he didn't know why the smart Zhenbei Marquis's son had become like this...

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
