Chapter 448 Don't Dare to Have a Fluke
The magistrate was not aware of the influence of the Great Xia Imperial Master on the people of Great Xia, especially those in the capital.
There was no need for Concubine Rong, the Third Prince and other nobles to speak. Yuan Ruan had sentenced him a second ago. Even if there was no evidence, the people in the capital of Daxia would immediately step forward to arrest him.
Not only did they arrest him, several palace servants even secretly stepped on the magistrate, muttering in a low voice: "Don't say you are an official appointed by the court, even if you are a royal relative, we will still arrest you!"
The magistrate was even more confused after hearing this, but he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and shouted loudly: "You have no respect for the king's law, no respect for discipline! Your Highness, listen to this! This palace servant actually said that if the national teacher points out your highness, they will also arrest him. Your Highness, the national teacher has too much influence on Daxia, he should be arrested!"
The palace servants were instantly angry, but also a little worried, and they were about to explain.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince nodded as if it was a matter of course, and said, "Yes. If the Imperial Master points to me, I will of course be arrested as well."
Rongpin and Qi Yue nodded at the same time. Rongpin even said something sarcastically: "Your Majesty was accused of..."
"Ahem!" The young secretary's throat was about to smoke from coughing, and he glared at his sister speechlessly. Is this something you can say?
The magistrate was stunned:?
Yuanruan completely ignored this rubbish guy.
She stretched out her tortoise shell, looked at Qi Yue, and continued, "Seventh sister, this person knew that the dam was leaking, but he concealed it and didn't report it. He is a bad person."
The magistrate was shocked. He had never told anyone about this! How could it be exposed? No, it might be a scam!
When the palace servant holding the magistrate heard this, he stepped even harder and snorted, "Asshole! A dam collapse will kill people and crops, and we won't be able to survive next year! Go to hell!"
"Take him down!" Qi Yue glanced at the man coldly, "If he doesn't tell me, torture him severely!"
Hearing this, the magistrate gritted his teeth and shouted, "It's unfair! It's unfair! I would never dare to do this. My Lord Imperial Master, please don't believe everything you hear! Severe torture is just forcing people to confess. It will not benefit Daxia... ah woo woo!"
The magistrate had his mouth blocked by the palace guards and was carried off the ship.
The magistrate still looked dissatisfied and aggrieved.
But when Qi Yue whispered about his affairs, such as his own son's dealings with bandits, how he killed his cousin and used the other's identity to become an official, etc.
The magistrate's face turned pale and he looked at Qi Yue tremblingly.
Now, Qi Yue asked the county magistrate with a cold face to tell him the detailed address of the problematic dam. The county magistrate did not dare to have any fluke mentality anymore and honestly told where the dam was leaking in the hope of redeeming himself.
……
After a cup of tea, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and soon, heavy rain fell "clattering".
Because the nearest town was a hundred miles away, everyone chose to take shelter from the rain in the cabin.
Yuan Ruan lay at the window of the cabin until she saw Qi Yue coming back from the shore with brisk steps. She breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Quick, go and give the umbrella to Seventh Sister."
The palace maid behind him immediately walked out of the cabin carrying two large umbrellas.
Soon, Qi Yue strode over, accompanied by the Third Prince and the Junior Secretary who were waiting for news.
Yuan Ruan stepped forward quickly, but Qi Yue signaled the Third Prince to hold Yuan Ruan to prevent her from getting wet by the water on her body.
Afterwards, Qi Yue repeated the specific address he had found out.
The Junior Secretary frowned and said, "What a shameless bastard! He discovered the clues so early, but he didn't report it. No, I have to write a memorial to His Majesty right away."
The Chancellor of the Imperial Household said, "I'm afraid we won't have enough time to write a memorial. I remember that the doctor of the Waterworks Department seems to be repairing the canal in this area. How about writing a letter to him?"
