Chapter 210: The Traitor Must be Punished

The more he thought about it, the angrier County Magistrate Wu became.

Why did he marry a self-righteous fool?

If he became in-laws with Heng Yi, Heng Congshan, who was now the emperor’s favorite, could make his official position jump a few levels with just a word.

Now, everything was ruined because of this stupid woman.

“Master…” Madam Peng also panicked when she saw his anger.

“Do you think I would bring downfall to my own son? I told Heng Yi that I will give him my legitimate son, so he agreed to the marriage. You’re good at ignoring my words!”

“Stupid woman!”

A marriage relationship that had been missed.

He originally had a bright future, but the more County Magistrate Wu thought about this failure, the angrier he became.

He felt uncomfortable just looking at Madam Peng.

“What did Madam Heng say when you visited their residence?”

“She refused.” Madam Peng said softly.

She no longer had the arrogance and superiority she had in front of Han Qiao.

She lowered her voice and felt guilty and panicked at the same time.

“You can’t do anything but spoil things, stupid woman.” County Magistrate Wu cursed, turned around, and went to find Heng Yi.

Luckily, Heng Yi had just returned to the government office.

“Heng Yi.”

“Magistrate.”

County Magistrate Wu bowed respectfully.

“Please come with me and give me a chance to explain,”

Heng Yi frowned slightly.

He followed County Magistrate Wu to a remote corner of the courtyard.

County Magistrate Wu then began, “I was muddle-headed. I didn’t know that my wife would bring her nephew to visit your daughter. I’ve already taught her a lesson. Please express my apologies to your wife.”

Heng Yi was silent for a moment, “Didn’t you say that the person you wanted my daughter to meet was Young Master Wu? Why did you decide to change your mind?”

“She acted on her own accord and even deceived me.” The more County Magistrate Wu spoke, the angrier he became.

He felt even more embarra.s.sed.

The fact that he, an official, was apologizing to a constable…

It was humiliating.

Heng Yi was silent for a moment, “I thought you don’t like my Xiu. Don’t mention another proposal again.”

With one sentence, he blocked all the paths behind him.

He was not afraid of offending County Magistrate Wu.

If he wanted to follow the martial arts path, he would be praised by the people on the side of the military officials.

County Magistrate Wu had tried to use him to raise himself.

Moreover, a general could only be promoted through meritorious service, and it would be much faster than a civil servant.

Today, he was still a small constable. But who knew when he would make another great contribution and be promoted to a higher official position than County Magistrate Wu?

“We didn’t handle the proposal well. Return and tell your wife about it, and also comfort the child.”

“Yes.”

County Magistrate Wu said a few more words and then let Heng Yi go first.

He had to find the Grand Advisor to discuss how to deal with this matter perfectly.

Heng Yi, on the other hand, settled the affairs of the office and prepared to go home.

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu chased him up and asked, “Why is the magistrate looking for you?”

Heng Yi looked at the two and hesitated for a while before saying, “The county magistrate wants to marry his son to my daughter. He said that the one to marry is his eldest son. In the end, the county magistrate’s wife brought her nephew to Heng Mansion instead.”

“The County Magistrate told me about this matter, but 1 don’t know how it came to be. So, I have to go home and ask.”

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu blinked.

This matter…

There was something strange about it.

“Heng Yi, we’re friends for life and death. You have to think about your children.”

“The marriage of the children will be decided by my wife.”

Wen Yu was relieved when he heard that.

He had only met Han Qiao a few times, but he knew that Han Qiao was not so easy to deal with.

Unless Han Qiao had the intention to cling to County Magistrate Wu, the marriage would not be successful.

Her daughter didn’t take a fancy to the magistrate’s nephew, so it wasn’t the adults’ fault.

Wen Yu patted Heng Yi’s shoulder.

“I heard there’s a letter from Chenzhou.”

“What letter?” Gu Jiu asked.

Wen Yu pursed his lips, “How would I know? This official letter is still in the county magistrate’s hands. Do you want to take a peek?”

“I’m not going to court death,” Gu Jiu hurriedly shook his head.

Heng Yi took their words to heart.

How could there be so many coincidences in the world? It was all deliberately arranged by someone.

At first, he didn’t understand why the county magistrate wanted a marriage alliance with his family. Now that he thought about it, it must have something to do with that official letter.

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu laughed and joked, while Heng Yi silently walked to the side, his eyes full of tolerance.

“Heng Yi.”

“Hmm?”

“If you’re going to be promoted, you should be able to bring a few trusted aides with you.” Wen Yu asked.

Heng Yi looked at Wen Yu, “There’s no letter.”

“I’m just saying what if… What if you get promoted to Chenzhou? If you can bring a few people with you, bring me along. Let me pick up some meat sc.r.a.ps with you.”

“Count me in.” Gu Jiu immediately said.

In Puyi County, it was too difficult to stand out.

Moreover, their martial arts were not particularly outstanding.

If they didn’t have any fortuitous encounters, they wouldn’t even be able to eat their fill if they became a constable for a lifetime.

Heng Yi looked at them.

“If such a day comes, fine.”

Wen Yu patted Heng Yi’s shoulder, “Good brother.”

When they left the government office, Bai Cha was already waiting at the door.

Heng Yi said goodbye to the two and left in the carriage.

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu could not help but sigh, “It’s nice to be rich.”

“It’s not just being rich, it’s also about having a loyal brother.”

The friendship in the government office was completely different from the friendship between Heng Yi and Bai Cha.

It was enviable.

Han Qiao sent off the county magistrate’s wife, but she was not angry.

Every family had a woman, and every cat and dog wanted to take a bite of each other’s meat. Such things would happen many times in the future.

There was no need for her to be angry.

However, when she found out that Peng Xingzhi was being treated coldly by her daughter, her expression did not change at all. She was still as calm as ever. She was a little surprised, however.

The boys and girls of this era, regardless of age, could not be underestimated.

Look at her family, look at that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Young Master Peng.

To be able to coax the county magistrate’s wife to plan for him, he indeed had some ability.

Moreover, that boy might not like her Xiu.

When Heng Yi came back, Han Qiao told him to wash up and eat something before telling him about the county magistrate’s wife.

“The boy she brought is her nephew.”

“County Magistrate Wu told me about it at the office,” Heng Yi said.

Han Qiao was very surprised.

Why would County Magistrate Wu apologize to Heng Yi for something like this?

She would never believe that there was nothing fishy about it.

“Wen Yu said that a letter came from Chenzhou two days ago.”

Han Qiao was much more sensitive to politics than Heng Yi.

Wen Yu could also guess a little about what was going on.

She had naturally come to the same conclusion.

“That letter is most likely an official letter for your promotion.”

“Me?” Heng Yi was surprised.

Thinking of Wen Yu and Gu Jiu’s words, he understood.

Because he was about to be promoted, the county magistrate wanted to be in-laws with him.

It was no wonder that he had specially called for him to explain the misunderstanding.

So that was the case.

“Looks like someone split the credit for killing Tu Wansan and raiding the bandits into two.” Han Qiao said.

“You became the chief constable after the bandits were exterminated. After killing Tu Wansan, your official position rose slightly. If I’m not mistaken, you should be going to Chenzhou. The Feng family must have contributed a lot to this.”

After all, the Feng Family’s roots were in Chenzhou City, and the Gong Prince’s dominion was also in Chenzhou City.

“Heng Yi, do you want to go to Chenzhou?”
