After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains

  Chapter 89 Blackmailing Nobles

   County magistrate Li's eyelids twitched when he heard that the person was from the Pei family, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with him?!"

  The yamen servant bit the bullet and replied cowardly: "He came here with Zhao Butou, saying that he wanted to sue Zhao Butou...for blackmailing the nobles."

  Boom boom boom—

  Magistrate Li only felt a few thunderclaps above his head.

   These days, the nobles are a class above ordinary people.

  If it is blackmailing ordinary people, it is nothing more than a small civil case. But if you blackmail nobles, that is a serious crime!

   County Magistrate Li broke out in a cold sweat, and only then realized belatedly that he blackmailed Pei Yi before, so he was blackmailing nobles! This is also a great crime!

  Thinking of this, County Magistrate Li felt chills down his back, and suddenly felt that Pei Yi asking him to pay three times the amount of money would not be a big deal.

   Spend money to eliminate disasters!

   "This Zhao Wu is really courageous!" County Magistrate Li immediately reprimanded him, "You arrest him immediately."

  He has already figured it out, and Zhao Wu has to bear all the guilt alone.

   Anyway, it was Zhao Wu who encouraged him to blackmail Pei Yi, this man deserved what he did!

"Lord Li." Pei Yi played with the folding fan, and Pi Liyang Qiu smiled, "You didn't go to the court for interrogation, and you hurriedly convicted Zhao Butou? What if Zhao Butou was wronged? "

   County magistrate Li is not sure what Pei Yi means.

   This Zhao Wu blackmailed Pei Yi with him last night.

  But is Pei Yi pleading for Zhao Wu now?

   After thinking about it, Pei Yi is notoriously cowardly, and this dude probably worried about Zhao Wu's revenge afterwards, so he begged for mercy.

  Thinking of this, County Magistrate Li couldn't help but despise Pei Yi even more.

  The third son of the prime minister's mansion is so afraid of the servants of a small county town to such an extent, he is really cowardly and hopeless!

   County magistrate Li thought he had glimpsed the truth, pretended to be respectful and said: "The third master is very right." Then he flicked his sleeves, put on his official airs and said loudly: "Prepare for promotion!"

  Pei Yi turned her head to look at the prefect Feng with a smile, and asked meaningfully: "I wonder if the prefect will go to see Master Li interrogate Zhao Butou?"

   Logically speaking, if the county magistrate is interrogating the prisoner, it doesn't matter whether the prefect is watching or not.

  But now that the third master of the Pei family is asking this question, he just wants him to watch from the sidelines. Feng Taishou is an old man in the officialdom, and it is a basic operation to flirt and win.

  He smiled and said: "Master Li is trying the case, and as a senior officer, you should naturally watch from the sidelines. The person who came to beat the drums is the guard of your house, Third Master. You can also go to watch the trial."

  Pei Yi smiled and nodded, "Since the prefect said so, I should go and see it."

  Feng Taishou smiled on his face, but his heart was full of complaints: I really don't know how Pei Xiangguo gave birth to such an idiot son as Pei Yi. An idiot like Pei Yi who has all his thoughts written on his face is really easy for people to control and take advantage of.

   Just like that, County Magistrate Li came to the stage domineeringly surrounded by a crowd of yamen servants.

  The yamen servants brought a grand master's chair made of pear blossom wood and put it on the lower left side of the county magistrate's table. This was obviously an invitation to the prefect Feng to take a seat.

  However, Prefect Feng dared to take the seat first.

  Even if he looked down on Pei Yi from the bottom of his heart, it would be no match for Pei Yi, who is Prime Minister Pei's third son.

  He has to sell Pei Yi, otherwise, what if the Pei family asks him to settle accounts?

  Feng Taishou made a gesture of invitation to Pei Yi with a smile, and fawned: "Third Master, please take a seat."

  Pei Yi was not too polite, she walked over and sat down as soon as she lifted her clothes.

  The yamen servants brought another grand master's chair and put it aside, so the prefect Feng dared to sit down.

  Pei Yi sat on the high platform and looked down, only to find that a crowd of people surrounded the gate of the government office.

  Although it is human nature to eat melons and watch the excitement, there are obviously too many people watching the excitement today.

  Sweeping her gaze back and forth a few times, Pei Yi discovered that there were scholars from Sandalwood Academy in the crowd.

  She hasn't been to the academy for a while, and hasn't seen this group of students for a long time, but she didn't expect this group of students to come here.

  At this time, the melon-eating crowd whispered to each other. Although the voice was small, it was like hundreds of mosquitoes buzzing together in one place.

   "Why is Pei Sanlang sitting there?" A scholar asked confused and angrily, "Didn't it mean that he is in jail, why did he go to the county magistrate?"

  The rest of the scholars are also puzzled.

  Yesterday they got the news that Pei Yi was imprisoned, but judging by today's posture, Pei Yi is clearly the county magistrate's guest. Does she look like she was arrested?

   "What is Pei Sanlang's background?" Some scholars frowned and asked sourly.

"Who knows? Anyway, he's from the capital city, so he's very impressive." Another scholar said bitterly, "Didn't you see that the person playing the drums was Pei Yi's face? Hmph, they are It's a big show here."

   "It's really lawless." Another scholar said sourly, "Pei Yi is so reckless, the county magistrate will never tolerate him!"

"That's for sure." Another scholar said sourly, "Pei Yi's behavior is self-defeating. Let's just ride a donkey and read the libretto. Later, the county magistrate will definitely punish Pei Yi This face. In order to protect the face, this idiot Pei Yi will definitely clash with the county magistrate. By then, hehe, Pei Yi will be thrown into prison."

  When the scholars around heard his words, they immediately felt relieved, and laughed in a low voice: "You are right..."

  Standing in this group of people was a very inconspicuous little maid, she was the third-class maid beside Su Luoyun, her name was Qiao Yun.

  Now hearing the scholars talking about Pei Yi like this, Qiao Yun suddenly showed a satisfied and disdainful smile.

  Miss specially ordered her to come to the government office to investigate Pei Yi's situation. Originally, when she heard Pei Yi sitting next to the county magistrate, she felt upset for a while.

   But when she heard the scholar's final conclusion, she suddenly felt that Pei Yi would definitely not be able to eat around today.

  If this good news is told to the young lady, the young lady will definitely reward her well, and she might be promoted from the third-class maid to the second-class maid by then.

  The more Qiaoyun thinks about it, the more beautiful she becomes, and happily stands on tiptoe to look inside.

  In addition to Qiaoyun, the maidservant of the Bai family, standing by, Xu Hansan, the chief guard of the Bai family, also hid in the crowd.

  When he saw Pei Yi sitting next to the magistrate, and the prefect was there, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

   It's over, it's over, it's probably the Pei family who made the move, right?

  In the lobby, County Magistrate Li sat behind the desks, and majestically swept across the crowd of people blocking the door.

   There was a chuckle in his heart.

  So many **** are watching, just to show these **** his prestige in handling affairs.
