Chapter 50 - 50 Case Resolution
50 Case Resolution
In a short while, a man in a black official robe walked out.
Jian Qingqing looked up and was immediately stunned. Was this not the handsome man she had saved previously? How did he appear here?
Seeing that the victim was Jian Qingqing, Ming Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately returned to the table without batting an eyelid.
Only then did Jian Qingqing realize that this was the new County Magistrate. This handsome man was an official. She had thought that he was someone from the martial arts world.
Ming Zhiyan’s deep voice rang out. “What’s the matter?”
Jian Qingqing came back to her senses and took a step forward. “Sir, these three people have been following behind me. I was afraid that they were plotting something, so I came to the government to report the case.”
The three villains knelt down and trembled. “My Lord! I was just walking and bumped into this little lady. She suddenly asked the official to arrest us. We don’t even know her!”
“You’ve been following me since the jewelry shop. If you didn’t follow me on purpose, how could it be so coincidental that I came to the county office and you also came to the county office? Are you also here to report the case?”
“We, we’re just walking here!”
Jian Qingqing sneered, “Heh, that’s really too much of a coincidence. This road is the territory of the government. If you’re not here to report a case, are you saying that you’re just walking here? What, do you guys live here?”
“We, we…” The three gangsters stuttered and could not speak.
Ming Zhiyan slapped the chopping board and said, “Hurry up and tell us the truth!”
Although her voice was not loud, it had a sense of authority.
The three gangsters finally had a mental breakdown. Trembling, they confessed, “We, we saw her selling stewed meat at the market every day and made a lot of money, so we wanted to steal some money. She made so much money, so it wouldn’t matter if we stole a little. Sir, please spare our lives! We didn’t want to hurt her! We have mothers and three-year-old children to take care of! Please spare us, Sir!”
Jian Qingqing’s heart turned cold. They want to rob her because she earned a lot of money? They had their own hands and feet, so why would not they earn it themselves? In her previous life, she had long been tired of hearing about these kinds of people on TV. If they were really that responsible, they would not have come out to rob.
“Sir, please give them a heavy sentence. If they leave today, I’m afraid that they will come after me for revenge later.”
Hearing that, the three gangsters cursed, “You Little Brat, you’re so ruthless! We didn’t do anything to you, why should we be sentenced! You bitch, be careful or I’ll kill you!”
“Silence! This is the Yamen, how can we allow you to make such a big fuss here! Men, lock them in the prison!”
Ming Zhiyan frowned, showing her authority even though she was not angry.
“Sir, please spare us!” The three gangsters were dragged away in shock, leaving behind a trail of urine.
Jian Qingqing looked at them with disdain, then raised her head and said to the County Magistrate, “Thank you, Sir! If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
“Wait a moment.” Ming Zhiyan hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Wait for me outside for a moment.”
“Yes.”
Jian Qingqing walked out and leaned against the wall in boredom. She did not know what the handsome man wanted from her.
After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she saw Ming Zhiyan walk out of the Yamen. He had changed into his normal clothes and there was no one around him. He was still very handsome.
Jian Qingqing walked over. “Is there anything else?”
“Let’s go, Miss Jian. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Ah?” Jian Qingqing was stunned.
Ming Zhiyan frowned. “I haven’t thanked you properly for saving me last time.”
