Hearing that, Sun County Order's body trembled. His biggest trump card, the two messenger actually knew about it. And from the looks of these two, they did not have any scruples towards the Prime Minister Changsun.
To be able to face such a high and mighty person without any scruples, there was no one else apart from the royal family.
"Your subject has crossed the line." Sun County Order lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Sun County Order, since you have sworn your life to protect your family, I will consider your family as appropriate. Even if it is on behalf of the Prime Minister Changsun, I will still let your family off the hook."
Xuanyuan Chen said as he retracted his aura, his eyes no longer filled with pressure.
When Sun County Order heard Xuanyuan Chen's words, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. His body softened and he almost fell to the ground.
"You may have broken the law by buying an official, but you are not guilty of crimes against your family. Since you are the only one who can handle it, then it will be up to you. Do you have any objections? " Xuanyuan Chen said as he stood with his hands behind his back.
"This subject has no objections. I will never forget the great kindness that you have shown me."
After Sun County Order heard Xuanyuan Chen's words, he knew that his family members would not be guilty of any crimes because of him. He calmed down and used his sleeve to wipe the tears that almost flowed down his face.
Although the onlookers didn't understand the words that the two were talking to each other, they understood that it was against the law and was against the law.
They did not understand why the Sun County Order had broken the law, nor did they know what kind of crime the officials committed, but they knew that the Sun County Order was a good official.
Every year, the imperial government would take away 30% of the tax revenue, while Blue City County would take away another 50%. Every household would only have 50% of the annual harvest, life was extremely tight.
However, after this Sun County Order took over, the 20% taxes were abolished, which greatly reduced their pressure.
His days were getting better and better, and the Blue City was getting richer and richer. Every family had a surplus every year.
Why would such a good adult be guilty?
The people kneeled on the ground and remained silent.
An old woman in her 60s suddenly asked, "My lord, this humble woman doesn't know what kind of serious crime you are referring to as the crime of buying an official, but this humble woman knows that Sir Sun has never treated us harshly." Since Lord Sun took office, our big guy's life has been getting better. Such a good Master Sun, how could he be guilty? "
After speaking, his voice gradually became choked with sobs.
There were already many people in the crowd who were full of emotions. They all began to cry as they replied to the old lady, "That's right, milord, are you sure you're mistaken?" Sir Sun is a good official, a great master to the common people. "
Xuanyuan Chen suddenly smiled playfully, and a hint of danger appeared in his eyes. He had indeed not guessed wrong, as to why Sun Zhi had chosen this place to plead guilty.
Tsk, what audacious courage, and a desperate decisiveness. He actually knew how to use the gratitude of the commoners to justify his actions, so that it would be difficult for an official like him to step down.
If these things were to be known by those crafty court officials in the imperial court, it would be terrible. If he could not handle this matter well, then those court officials could swallow him up with a mouthful of saliva.
This Sun Zhi could be considered a rare talent, but today, he had to think of a way.
Xuanyuan Chen was trapped in a dilemma and found it hard to make a decision.
Xie Qingrong saw that Xuanyuan Chen was in a difficult situation, and his brain quickly thought of a good idea.
She stood up from beside Xuanyuan Chen, a cold smile hung on her lips, and she said in a loud voice: "It's getting late today. If you really want to know if your Mister Sun has committed any crimes, how about you go to the county yamen to interrogate the Sun County Order tomorrow? At that time, if you have free time, you can come to the county magistrate court to watch for yourselves. This will end here for today. Sun County Order, what do you think? "
Sun Zhi had already requested for an additional day's worth of survival for him, so he made the arrangements for his family members to follow up on. Although he didn't pass through the commoners today to pressure the two lords, he was already very satisfied with the current situation he was in.
Moreover, if he was not mistaken, just now, a trace of dense killing intent flashed past Xie Qingrong's eyes, this person, was not someone to be trifled with.
"This subject thinks this action is very good, thank you sire." The Sun County Order replied wisely.
"In that case, please rise." Xie Qingrong said coldly. She looked at the people kneeling on the ground for a very long time, and already felt a faint impatience in her heart.
Sun County Order was the first to get up. When the commoners saw him, they all stood up, planning to wait for the meeting at the entrance of the county magistrate court tomorrow morning.
The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving only a few people. Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen brought Xie Qingrong to the closest inn to rest. They had spent too much time on the main street with this Sun County Order and their bodies were extremely tired.
After Xuanyuan Chen finished packing, he told Xie Qingrong to rest well, "A Rong, I have something to take care of, so I'll be out for a bit.
Xie Qingrong knew that Xuanyuan Chen was going to look for the Sun County Order, so she stopped him and nodded.
Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen caressed Xie Qingrong's hair affectionately.
The streets were brightly lit. Sun County Order stood inside the yamen and waited anxiously for Xuanyuan Chen to come over.
"Your subordinate pays his respect to the prince. May I know which prince it is?" Sun County Order respectfully bowed towards Xuanyuan Chen.
Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrow, just now when he saw Sun Zhi waiting for him at the magistrate court, he sighed out loud about Sun Zhi's intelligence, and now, Sun Zhi had even guessed his identity, and it was not only because he was clever, but also because he had sharp eyes.
A meaningful smile appeared on his lips as he said, "This duke is indeed not some Sir Chenfu. This prince is the Prince Chen. But what makes This King curious is, how did you guess This King's identity? "
Sun Zhi smiled bashfully, and answered Xuanyuan Chen's question, "Just now, on the street, the lord reported that the official was from a branch family of the Prime Minister Changsun, and you and the lord did not seem to be afraid at all. On the contrary, you did not put him in your eyes.
Therefore, this official dared to guess that the two lords were probably the royal family, or else they wouldn't be able to suppress the Prime Minister Changsun, who held a high position. Since you are from the Prince Chen, then you can be considered to be from the same clan as this official. "
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen revealed a cold smile, the smile on his face carrying a bit of disdain and ridicule, "This king thinks that Master Sun is an extremely intelligent person, why would he like to play such petty tricks?"
