Chapter 9: Fine Wool
"Mr. Cai, it's really Mr. Cai on the bed!"
With the moonlight and the dim candlelight, they could see the face of the person on the bed clearly, and there was inevitably a commotion among the crowd. If the person on the bed was the county magistrate, they could accept it, but who would have thought that the person lying on the bed was actually County Magistrate Cai.
Isn't he Miss Aru's adoptive father? How can this be allowed? The key point is that such a beauty was taken away like this. What a pity, what a great pity!
It turns out that County Magistrate Cai likes this tune, adopted daughter, using force, tsk tsk, it's true that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart, bah, a beast!
"Sir, this..." Ah Ru, who was originally crying and looking aggrieved, was now a little panicked. The person on the bed was not the county magistrate but the master. This script was wrong!
"Don't worry, Miss Aru, I will take care of it for you!" Shen Yu walked forward with a smile, glanced over here, and then turned into a look of great grief.
"County Magistrate Cai, I never thought you would be this kind of person. You have disappointed me so much! At this point, I cannot bend the law for personal gain! Captain Zhou, arrest him!"
"Yes, sir!" Captain Zhou, who followed the crowd, had no choice but to come forward after hearing Shen Yu's order.
"Wait, sir, there must be a misunderstanding here!" Seeing Zhou Yuan, the head of the police, approaching, Mrs. Cai finally couldn't hold it anymore and immediately explained hurriedly, "Sir, A'ru is the master's adopted daughter. The master has always been chaste and would never do such a thing!"
"It's her. She must have seduced the master. Please investigate carefully!"
"That's enough, Madam Cai. I know you are worried about Magistrate Cai, but in front of so many people, how can you make excuses?"
Waving his hand to interrupt Madam Cai's words, Shen Yu then said coldly, "Madam Cai, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Although you have slept in the same bed for many years, you may not really know what kind of person County Magistrate Cai is, Madam Cai!"
"I am also very sad about this happening, but the law is ruthless and I can do nothing about it!" Shaking his head, Shen Yu seemed to be quite regretful. If you don't know, you might really believe it.
Only those who are familiar with the inside story know that the young county magistrate and County Magistrate Cai have long been at loggerheads. Of course, some things are better known to everyone than to be made public.
"You!" After taking a deep look at Shen Yu, Mrs. Cai naturally understood the long-standing stalemate between the county magistrate and her master. It was normal for the other party to take advantage of the situation. It would be better to expect everyone to pretend to be blind than to pin their hopes on him.
Forcing herself to calm down, Mrs. Cai turned to look at Aru and said with dignity and coldness, "Aru, tell me yourself, are you doing this voluntarily? You need to think carefully before you answer!"
"Don't worry, if something like this happens, the master will definitely give you a name!"
"That's enough. Miss Aru's cry for help and the slap marks on her face are not fake. Voluntary? Do you think voluntary would be like this?"
With a cold snort, Shen Yu certainly would not give them a chance to turn the tables. What he wanted to do was to cut the Gordian knot. Don't you think it's too late to change your confession now?
Since Cai Zhong dared to cheat him, he must be prepared to bear the price. If he were in the other's shoes, he would definitely not be merciful.
"Madam Cai, you openly coerced and bribed me in front of me and the gentry. Where do you put the law of the country? Where do you put me?"
"Captain Zhou!" Looking back at Zhou Yuan beside him, Shen Yu then directly ordered, "Bring Miss Aru back to the county government office later, so that some people won't use despicable means to force Miss Aru to change her words!"
"You!" In an instant, Mrs. Cai's face turned very ugly. Shen Yu took the people away directly. He would ask for any confession he wanted at that time. He was not going to give them any chance.
"Haha..." At this moment, Cai Zhong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly laughed out loud, with a bit of sadness in his laughter.
After a brief moment of confusion, he also understood his current situation. He had lost more than he gained, and now he had himself involved. Although he was very unwilling, he still had to admit that he lost because he was too smart!
"Captain Zhou, take him away!" Looking at the frantic Cai Zhong quietly, Shen Yu said calmly, "Put him in jail and await trial!"
"Yes, sir!"
"By the way, Captain Zhou, here are five taels of silver. Take the brothers out for a drink tomorrow!" Taking out a purse from his arms, Shen Yu counted the money and handed over the silver with a little reluctance.
"Sir, this is unacceptable..." Shen Yu's actions frightened Zhou Yuan. In the past, they always paid tribute to their superiors . When had they ever seen the county magistrate actively give them money? This was not a surprise at all, it was clearly a shock.
"Captain Zhou, this money is for the brothers to drink, just accept it. Since I took office, I have never invited the brothers to drink. However, this time the wine cannot be drunk for free!"
Approaching Zhou Yuan, Shen Yu whispered, "I want you to spread the news that Cai Zhong has been dismissed from office and imprisoned. It would be best if you let your brothers exaggerate the story. Just say that I am going to take action against County Magistrate Cai!"
"Tomorrow, I hope that everyone in Bai'an County will know about this. Captain Zhou, you won't let me down, will you?"
"I understand!" Zhou Yuan was instantly soaked in cold sweat. Why did the silver feel so hot? He didn't dare to take it!
As a native of Bai'an County, Zhou Yuan certainly knew how arrogant and overbearing the Cai family had been in Bai'an County over the years. They had occupied land and bullied men and women.
As one of the three major families in Bai'an County, Cai Zhong is also the county magistrate. He is rich and powerful. Even many of Cai's servants take advantage of their power to bully others.
Once the news of Cai Zhong, the county magistrate, being imprisoned spreads, many victims will definitely move in. Even if they don't go, someone will find a way to make them go.
As long as someone reports it and there is evidence in hand, the county magistrate will never let it go easily and will investigate it thoroughly.
In addition, the Cai family has been too arrogant over the years, offending too many people, and there are many people who are jealous of the Cai family's assets. Now that Cai Zhong has fallen, all these people will surely attack him, and they will never miss this opportunity to beat the fallen dog.
County Magistrate Cai is in jail and he probably won’t be able to get out. The Cai family is finished!
"Huh!" Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and slowly suppressed his panic. He looked up and carefully glanced at the young county magistrate in front of him. He didn't believe that all this was a coincidence. If it was really the work of this county magistrate, it would be too scary. It was truly a murder without being seen.
"Oh, Captain Zhou, there is one more thing. Please tell your brothers. As long as you follow me, I will never let you suffer any loss. But from today on, no one is allowed to bully others or oppress the good!"
At this point, Shen Yu's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of coldness, "If I find out that you are oppressing the people, I will punish you severely!"
"Yes, sir, rest assured. We will follow your teachings and never dare to overstep the line !" As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was indeed not easy to take the silver given by the county magistrate.
But after seeing the methods of the county magistrate, who the hell dares to have other ideas? No, I must talk to my brothers about it later, otherwise I won’t know what happened next.
"System, sign in!"
"Sign in successfully, gain five years of inner strength!"
"You're using your inner strength again? County Magistrate Cai's family are really good people. First it was Cai He and now it's Cai Zhong himself. Each of them is a top-notch sheep. The key is that they can be fleeced repeatedly! The sign-in rewards are so generous, who else can they target if not you!"
