Sun Qiushui's face suddenly became gloomy, and a trace of anger and sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, what are you looking for me to do?"

Qi Maosheng smiled awkwardly and hurriedly explained: "Qiu Shui, don't get me wrong. My wife and I haven't gotten along well. I have always had you in my heart for years. As long as you still have me in your heart, I will go back and get rid of my wife and let's start over."

"How can you do this? How can this be? If my family is broken up, wouldn't I become a sinner? Who do you think of me, Sun Qiushui?"

After saying that, she turned her back to Qi Maosheng, tears rolling in her eyes, and her heart was full of disappointment.

Seeing this, Qi Maosheng rushed forward, hugged Sun Qiushui tightly, and hugged her in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would disappear as soon as he let go.

His arms were like iron hoops, making Sun Qiushui feel breathless.

"Qiu Shui, listen to me, I was sorry for you back then. I have been suffering all these years. I can't make mistakes anymore and can't let you down."

Qi Maosheng said anxiously in Sun Qiushui's ear, and the heat that kept spitting out of her mouth teased her hair.

"Don't have any psychological burden. I have no feelings for her. I have been together for the rest of the years. I have lived enough with that woman. I have lived a long time ago. You are the only one in my heart from beginning to end."

Sun Qiushui struggled in his arms for a few times, but did not break free. Her mind was in chaos, and she was both angry and a little helpless about the behavior of the man in front of her.

In the county government, the atmosphere became more and more tense, as if the air had condensed.

Xi Yu's eyes were as lightning as lightning, staring at Han Chong, his voice cold and majestic.

"Han Chong, I will give you another last chance. If you still don't repent and refuse to admit your sins, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear."

After saying that, he turned his eyes to the yamen runners and said loudly: "Listen, if anyone can capture Han Chong and throw him into prison, I promise he will receive unexpectedly generous rewards."

When Han Chong heard this, his face became extremely ugly.

He shouted at the yamen runners: "Don't bewitched by this beast! He is disturbing the court and trying to subvert the county government! If you listen to him, you will be enemies of the court!"

He tried to use such words to stabilize the hearts of the yamen runners and prevent them from acting rashly.

And just when the sword was tense, a figure walked out of the yamen runners, Yuan Ping'an.

His face was calm and fearless.

"This county magistrate does have some things that are not authentic." His voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet county government lobby.

It turns out that Yuan Ping'an is a straight person and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.

He worked as a county yamen for many years, but because he was honest by nature, he had a bad relationship with most yamen runners.

He always comes and goes alone, scoffs at the private activities of his colleagues, and does not want to be with them.

In his opinion, fairness and integrity are the way to be an official and a servant, and he had long been unable to stand what the county magistrate Han Chong did, but he had not endured it and finally stood up at this moment.

At this time, Han Chong was so angry that his face turned red, and he cursed at Yuan Ping'an.

"Yuan Ping'an, you are a ignorant person, what do you want to do? How dare you betray me?"

Yuan Ping'an remained calm and said loudly: "I have been saying these words for a long time. As a county magistrate, you are perfunctory every time you try a case, and you have no intention of exploring the truth. You have devoted your mind to having fun with those concubines. Have you ever really thought about serving the court? Look at the cases you handled over the years, how many injustices have been ignored by you, and how many people have suffered because of you, and you are not worthy of sitting in this position at all!"

His words were so passionate that everyone present looked at him.

After hearing Yuan Ping'an's words, the yamen runners still had a look of disgust for him on their faces, but deep down they had to recognize every word he said.

They were very clear about what the county magistrate Han Chong did. Everyone saw the unfair judgments and perfunctory treatments of the people on weekdays.

However, they also sneered in their hearts that Yuan Ping'an was really ignorant of life and death and dared to say anything.

Look at the extremely angry appearance of County Magistrate Han. Once this matter is over, Yuan Ping'an will never let him go. The county Magistrate will definitely peel him apart and make him pay a heavy price for his words and deeds today.

In this county government, you can imagine the consequences of being openly opposed to the county magistrate.

Seeing this, Xi Yu was overjoyed and his eyes were filled with admiration for Yuan Ping'an.

He secretly thanked that it was a blessing that there was such a yamen runner full of justice in this turbid county yard.

"Do you dare to arrest Han Chong into prison?" Xi Yu asked loudly.

Yuan Ping'an did not hesitate at all, his eyes were filled with fearlessness.

"What's not to dare?"

After saying that, he walked towards Han Chong with a steady and powerful pace.

When he came to Han Chong, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Han Chong's arm, the force seemed to vent all the injustice and anger through this grab.

Han Chong was shocked and roared while struggling.

"Yuan Ping'an, you are so brave, you dare to commit crimes!" But Yuan Ping'an's hands tightly clamped him like iron pliers, making him unable to break free.

But Xi Yu immediately applauded.

"Okay! Yuan Ping'an, just let it go. If you can do this today, it's a good idea! Your courage and sense of justice are precious."

Xi Yu looked at Yuan Ping'an with a bright look, his eyes full of encouragement, and he waved to Yuan Ping'an with a smile, signaling him to come to him.

Yuan Ping'an let go of Han Chong's arm and slowly walked towards Xi Yu.

He was a little nervous, not knowing what this mysterious and majestic person was going to say to him.

Xi Yu looked at Yuan Ping'an with sincere and sincere eyes.

"Yuan Ping'an, are you willing to be a just county magistrate and truly serve the people?"

Yuan Ping'an was stunned. He never expected to hear such a problem and was a little at a loss for a moment. He just stood up out of justice in his heart, but never thought of such a thing.

Han Chong, who was standing beside him, shivered uncontrollably when he heard this.

The guess in his heart became stronger and stronger. Could it be that the person in front of him who has a strong aura and decisive behavior is really Prime Minister Xi Yu?

If this is true, then I will be completely finished today.

His face turned pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down his forehead.

The yamen runners whispered to each other and muttered in a low voice: "What is this person's origin? He actually spoke wildly. Did he think the position of county magistrate could be arranged at will?"

Yuan Ping'an was also shocked and waved his hand quickly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be joking. I have never thought about being a county magistrate. I just couldn't stand what County Magistrate Han did, so I stood up and said a few fair words."

Xi Yu looked serious. He looked at Yuan Ping'an and said slowly: "You mentioned just now that the county magistrate is incompetent and will harm the people. If there is an opportunity in front of you, it will allow you to seek benefits for the people and change the fate of the people in this area. Isn't this a good thing? You have a sense of justice and courage, which is better than many people."

His eyes revealed his expectations for Yuan Ping'an, as if he had seen the scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment under Yuan Ping'an's rule.

Yuan Ping'an shook his head with a wry smile.

"Even if you said, how can I have that ability? I am just a poor family, with no knowledge or any fame. I can't afford the position of the county magistrate."

Xi Yu looked calm.

"During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing was born in a low-class background, but he was able to become a famous general of a generation. Zhufu Yan was also born in a poor family and was promoted by exception because of his talent. There was a precedent in ancient times, so why not now? As long as he is in love with the people and has the ability and responsibility, what's the harm in his background?"
