Several gentlemen in the crowd spoke loudly.

Suddenly, the people outside the court fell silent, their eyes focused on the gentlemen.

"Who is in the hall?" The prefect narrowed his eyes and asked in a stern voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, several bailiffs came forward and dragged those people to the court.

"Sir, we are waiters at the restaurant next to the winery. We were free yesterday, so the three of us wanted to go to the winery to buy some wine. But as soon as we arrived at the winery, we heard a shrill sound coming from the backyard."

The leading man stated: "When we were about to go to the backyard, we saw the boss's body lying on the ground."

"The three of us were immediately frightened and hurriedly found a closet to hide in. After a moment, we saw the county magistrate coming out from the backyard, and his clothes were disheveled."

As soon as he finished speaking, a barely detectable trace of panic flashed across the county magistrate's face.

Then calm was restored immediately.

"You are slandering me!" the county magistrate scolded harshly.

"You know, you are suing the government!" When facts didn't make sense, they looked to use power to suppress others.

The county magistrate slowly turned around, his fierce eyes lingering between the few people, and then looked at the county magistrate in the court, and slowly said: "My lord, I have not done what you said. Now, these villains want to sue me, which is an act beyond the limit!"

The discussion in the court was heated when a carriage slowly stopped not far from the county government office.

A crack appeared in the curtain, and two pairs of eyes were staring towards the direction of the county government office.

"Master Xia, have you found the opportunity so quickly?"

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xia Huai'en nodded, but his brows were still furrowed: "I was worried, but the county magistrate has hit the edge of a knife."

"It's just a pity for that young lady."

Perhaps because he had suffered injustice in the past, Xia Huai'en always felt sad when he met such pitiful people.

"The county magistrate is Lu Xiang's man. His family also gave a lot of money for this position. He is the same as the prefect. The two will definitely protect each other. I have sent good people. If the prefect is unfair in the slightest, I guarantee that the people will not let it go."

Xia Huai'en told the story slowly and leisurely.

Shen Wantang nodded. This matter was handled very quickly.

"Master Xia, don't worry. I will definitely give justice to that young lady." Shen Wantang was a thoughtful person, so how could she not see the worry in Xia Huai'en's eyes just now.

Hearing this, Xia Huai'en raised his drooping eyelashes and looked at Shen Wantang with a faint light in his eyes.

I don't know why, but when I look at her, I always have an inexplicable feeling in my heart.

Xia Huai'en hurriedly avoided Shen Wantang's gaze and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Shen."

The carriage slowly drove away, and Shen Wantang also returned to the Shen Mansion.

In front of the desk, Shen Wantang held his chin with one hand, looking at the things in front of him with a frown.

"It's time to clean up those termites in the military camp."

I had planned to deal with this matter after the New Year, but was suddenly tripped up by the political reform.

This time, not only those parasites who stole weapons, but also those who had changed their hearts and betrayed brotherhood were all dealt with, restoring peace to the military camp.

"Miss, someone wants to see you."

Qing'e took small steps forward and spoke hurriedly.

"Who?" Shen Wantang frowned slightly. Cen Xiao had just met her yesterday, and Xia Huai'en had just met her.

Lian Zhao always sneaked in, so who else could come to visit now?

He hurried to the front hall. Although he saw the back figure from a distance, Shen Wantang still recognized the person at a glance——

"General Xiao Dai, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Shen Wantang spoke softly.

Hearing the voice, Dai Ying slowly turned his head, saw Shen Wantang, and hurried forward.

"Shen Wantang, there are frequent battles at the border, why haven't you made any moves?"

Dai Ying came forward hurriedly, brows furrowed, looking as if he was in a hurry.

Shen Wantang sat down slowly and calmly, picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip calmly: "General Dai must have made a mistake, what can I do?"

Dai Ying's face was filled with melancholy and anxiety, hesitating: "Aren't you the most thoughtful? Now the war is getting intense, but you are hiding in the house, not leaving the front door or the back door! Fortunately, I admired you so much before, but I didn't expect that you are such a coward!"

Before Shen Wantang could figure out the situation, Dai Ying, who suddenly came to visit him, scolded him.

Her expression froze, she put down the teacup in her hand, and remained silent for a moment to sort out her thoughts.

"General Dai, I think you are confused, right? Nowadays, all wars in Dacheng are decided by the emperor. Do you really think that your father, the Minister of War, can decide the wars in the world?"

Shen Wantang said helplessly: "The war situation at the border is tense now, but someone can seize the opportunity. If General Dai really wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, why doesn't he ask to be sent out? But he came to my house. Is this what a real man should do?"

This rhetorical question instantly left Zhe Daiying speechless.

He sat down angrily and drank some tea to ease the embarrassment.

Looking at Dai Ying, Shen Wantang shook his head helplessly.

But suddenly, a plan came to his mind - now, Dai Ying owed Shen Wantang a favor, so why not take this opportunity to get some information from the Ministry of War.

Maybe it will be helpful in investigating what is happening in the military camp.

Dai Ying didn't seem like a smart person, so if Shen Wantang asked him a few questions, he would probably tell everything.

"General Dai, now that you are concerned about the border war, it seems that you are not busy at all."

Shen Wantang spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Dai Ying snorted coldly and drank the tea in his hand: "You really want to think that it would be great if the Ministry of War was really that free. Now the Ministry of War is in a mess."

Oh?

Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly.

As expected, before Shen Wantang could continue to ask, Dai Ying said bluntly: "Now, my father stays in the government office all day and has not been home for a long time. I went to visit him, but I saw him talking about something with a few people in the military camp."

Hearing this, a hint of vigilance flashed across Shen Wantang's eyes.

"How do you know he's from the military camp?" Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows and asked.

Dai Ying put down the teacup in his hand and said proudly, "I have been in the military camp for so long, is it possible that I can't tell the difference between the people in the government office and the military camp? That man has a full beard and a long scar on the back of his hand, which should extend to his arm. It's obvious that he has been in the war."

After the words fell, Shen Wantang's eyes tightened. This description...

It must be him!

Seeing that Shen Wantang didn't say anything for a long time, Dai Ying also closed her mouth and stared at Shen Wantang closely: "I say, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Wantang regained his consciousness, shrugged and smiled, "Thinking about the border affairs."
