Chapter 625: Wang Qing
County Magistrate Xu saw that the evidence was solid, and at this point, he still showed no fear, indicating that he had some reliance. He felt a bit panicked inside but considering that they had reached this point, there was naturally no turning back, so he tried to maintain his composure on the surface.
"Mr. Wang, this evidence was obtained through interrogation of the criminals by this official. Please understand, the law must be enforced without mercy." County Magistrate Xu's attitude remained non-confrontational, but his words were infuriating.
"Magistrate Xu, do you know what you're doing?" Mr. Wang was furious, his face as dark as water as he asked coldly.
County Magistrate Xu replied firmly, "Of course, I am administering justice."
"But I don't acknowledge any of these accusations. This must be a mistake. Shouldn't Magistrate Xu reconsider the investigation?" Mr. Wang protested.
County Magistrate Xu looked surprised. "How could that be? All of these are the villains who went to kill Tang Bao, the villains who kidnapped the Third Young Master of the Xie family, and even Wang's steward confessed. How could this be false?"
"You arrested Wang's steward without authorization?" Mr. Wang's face changed drastically, and his heart raced. How could it be? Xu Pengzheng definitely didn't have the guts to do this!
"Magistrate Xu, do you want to know why I dared to do this, because I have someone backing me up?" Mr. Wang's eyes met Xu Pengzheng's, and he thought of the Zhao family in the capital. His panicked heart instantly calmed down. Xu Pengzheng was just a county magistrate. Even if it was the Xie family, they wouldn't dare to directly oppose the Zhao family.
What did he have to fear?
"I know." County Magistrate Xu looked at Mr. Wang, who was indirectly admitting his own crimes with profound meaning.
Mr. Wang was shocked. "How did you know?"
"Mr. Wang, have you forgotten that all of your actions were targeted against the Xie family? This time, you wanted to stop the Third Young Master of the Xie family from taking the exam. I presume there are arrangements in the capital as well."
"The Xie family won't sit idly by."
"So you chose the Xie family?" Mr. Wang sneered, trying to sow discord. "Aren't you afraid of standing on the wrong side and losing everything, even your life?"
"Besides, what can the Xie family give you that I can't?" Mr. Wang said, luring him with temptation.
County Magistrate Xu shook his head and sighed, "Although that's true, today I have already taken action against you. The rift has already formed. Even if I say I will help you now, will you not hold me accountable for what I did today?"
"Enough talking, you're determined to stand with the Xie family?" Mr. Wang snorted, his eyes becoming colder.
"You chose this yourself, don't blame me for not being polite."
Before he knew it, a group of people burst into the room.
In the next moment, a knife was placed at County Magistrate Xu's neck, and he was being held hostage!
"You..." County Magistrate Xu's eyes widened in shock, a moment of panic mixed with anger as he shouted, "This is the county office! Holding a government official hostage is a serious crime!"
"Is it? But no one knows that we've taken an official hostage. When Magistrate Xu unexpectedly dies, it doesn't seem difficult at all." Mr. Wang laughed sinisterly, his eyes already filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, County Magistrate Xu regretted it deeply. This had exceeded his expectations.
"Um... if I help you deal with the Xie family now, will you spare me?" County Magistrate Xu's face turned red after saying this, embarrassed.
Mr. Wang heard this and burst into laughter, reaching out to lightly pat his face, extremely insulting, "Magistrate Xu, when I asked you to choose just now, what did you say to me?"
"Now." Mr. Wang grinned, "It's too late!"
"Second son, he's yours now."
