Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Released without Charge

He cleared his throat lightly, gathering his courage to step out of his room when suddenly, a fragrant breeze came.

It turned out to be several favored concubines of varying ages in the backyard.

“Old Master, I heard that the Lord Imperial Envoy Inspector is here, is that true?” A beautiful-looking concubine squeezed over.

Before she could finish her words, she was pushed away by another concubine: “Old Master, I know that you will surely be successful and come back safely…”

“Get away, get away, you little vixen!”

A hot-tempered concubine nearby pushed her away directly, her waist as slender as a water snake, and squeezed into County Magistrate Su’s arms.

“Old Master, will you encounter any problems on this trip? It is said that this Inspector was personally appointed by His Majesty, isn’t it true?”

At that moment, County Magistrate Su had no energy to deal with these beauties!

He pushed the charming woman beside him irritably, his face full of annoyance!

“What do you want to learn about this for? Just stay in the backyard and enjoy yourselves with music and storytelling. Don’t bother me the Official!”

Having said that, he forcibly pulled off the little demon wrapped around him and marched away with long strides.

Mrs. Su glanced coldly at these little demons, thinking of the past when these concubines fought for favor every day, and how she almost died of anger because of these little demons.

At present, this situation was just what she wished for, just like she wanted!

She snorted coldly, twisted her plump hips, and went into the inner room.

Let these little demons make trouble as they wished, as long as her husband remained in office for one day, he could not do without her, the legitimate Madam!

Hmph! Let these little demons be proud for another two days!

…

A prisoner escort carriage hurriedly entered the government office and went into the dungeon prison.

The unkempt criminal on the carriage was pulled down and pushed to the back hall to be strictly guarded.

Di Yelei sneaked into the county government’s dungeon.

He naturally knew his way around the surroundings and silently sneaked in without alerting the nearby guards.

Ahead, the specially appointed Inspector Lord Mo had already taken his seat in the court room.

Mo Liancheng was different from others. He wore very ordinary cloth clothes, looked neither fat nor thin, and had a middle-aged appearance, with a smiling face that didn’t reveal anything special.

After he took his seat in the court room, he did not proceed with the trial immediately but instead chatted with Xin Quan and County Magistrate Su on the side.

Xin Quan and County Magistrate Su were both terrified, answering hesitantly. In a short time, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat, and they could hardly withstand Mo Liancheng’s questioning.

Di Yelei turned a deaf ear to the questioning in the front hall and hid silently behind the door curtain like a gecko.

As the Imperial Envoy’s group of governmental runners passed by, the originally seated “Di Yelei” stood up. His bone joints emitted low crackling sounds, and he quickly shrank. He then slipped out of his handcuffs and shackles, quickly took off the disguise on his body, revealing a thin and sharp face, quickly changed into a governmental office runner’s clothes, and nodded slightly in the direction of Di Yelei!

Di Yelei came out without a word from his hiding place and put the disguise back on.

“Son-in-law, forgive me.”

His voice was very low, and his movements were very fast. He got up and fiddled with Di Yelei’s hair, creating the same messy chicken coop hairstyle as before.

He then quickly went towards the narrow alleyway nearby and left.

Di Yelei moved his hands and feet, shaking the chains in his hand with satisfaction!

Only those who can laugh to the end are the real winners!

County Magistrate Su, Xin Quan, it’s time for him, Di Yelei, to hold his head up high.

In the front hall, Mo Liancheng suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, retracted the smile on his face, and directly raised his hand to grab the wooden block and hit it.

Bang!

“Su County Magistrate, Xin Quan, do you two know the crimes you’ve committed?”

Su County Magistrate and Xin Quan shivered, frightened and slid directly off their chairs.

“Lord Mo, what crimes have we committed?”

Mo Liancheng, however, was an unconventional man, and scoffed coldly.

“Do you really think I, the Imperial Envoy, would wrong you? I have been in Macheng County for more than a month now. What have you two been up to? Do you truly think I’m a fool?”

Su County Magistrate and Xin Quan exchanged glances, and in the current situation, they could not shrink back! They braced themselves.

“Lord Mo, you are the Imperial Envoy, the Inspector-General appointed by His Majesty. You must not wrongly accuse us, the subordinate officers! We have been dutifully serving the imperial court with devotion. How can we be considered criminals?”

“Hehe, it seems you won’t give up until you’re desperate. Fine! This Imperial Envoy will allow you to see for yourselves why I make such a claim!”

Mo Liancheng casually picked up an Order Letter and threw it on the ground.

“Bring the person in quickly!”

His face was full of cold smiles, scanning the two with sharp eyes.

Su County Magistrate and Xin Quan still bracing themselves, showing no signs of backing down.

“Yes, Your Honor!”

The Imperial Envoy’s trusted soldiers went out and quickly brought someone in.

As this person arrived, the bodies of Su County Magistrate and Xin Quan softened, directly collapsing in their chairs.

Among all the dangers, the one least expected!

At this moment, only one thought emerged in Su County Magistrate’s mind!

It’s over!

The person who arrived was none other than Zhang Shixin, who had been missing for many days and couldn’t be found by the Su County Magistrate!

Zhang Shixin looked haggard, barely lifting his head to look at Su County Magistrate and Xin Quan before dropping his gaze again.

The situation was hopeless!

…

“In the case of Di Yelei raping and murdering Su County Magistrate’s niece Cailian, it is confirmed that it was a false and wrongful case. According to the laws of the Great Zhao, the accused shall be released immediately, with their official positions restored. Effective immediately!”

The verdict was quickly handed down, and the governmental runners picked up the gong and announced the good news!

Compared to the cheering crowd outside, Su County Magistrate, within his official residence, wore a lifeless expression.

Slumped in his chair, Su County Magistrate stared blankly at a random point in the air.

“Is this a sign of my impending doom? Couldn’t you leave me a way out, God?” Su County Magistrate was on the verge of a breakdown.

By his side, Mrs. Su’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but secretly calculate her chances.

“Old Master, don’t worry. Hasn’t Lord Mo not yet announced your crimes? What are you so worried about?”

“What do you, a woman, understand? Mo Liancheng said he would first withhold our crimes and then submit them to Chengdu Prefecture for Lord Governor to personally interrogate!”

“So…does Lord Mo mean to escort you two to Chengdu Prefecture?” Mrs. Su was also taken aback.

“He didn’t say that…”

Since Mo Liancheng didn’t say so, but instead gave him a gloomy look, Su County Magistrate became even more panicked!

“Your Honor, something has happened outside!” The person rushed in once more to report!

“What on earth has happened again?” Su County Magistrate hardly had the strength to speak.

“It’s…it’s the several concubines, they…they…”
