Xia Fan was not born in a prefecture and county. He was from Yangzhou and was once a subordinate of Deng. Later, he was sentenced to death by the governor of Yangzhou for accidentally killing people. Unexpectedly, someone rescued him at the critical moment of the execution ground. He was taken away from Yangzhou by the man and came to Fuling, a small county on the border, and was protected by human resources to become the judge here. In order not to make people realize that he was from Yangzhou and had killed anyone, the man who strongly recommended him to join the judge's office to change his official title for him, wiped out all his past, and naturally became a local person in Fuling.

Although Xia Fan knew about this, he had been in Fuling for many years and had never made any mistakes. Over time, he was naturally a little lost. Coupled with the aggressive words of County Magistrate Ke just now, he forgot to cover up and said it out in surprise. He was too anxious and wanted to refute County Magistrate Ke, so he himself did not react to what he said.

Unexpectedly, Fu Chen actually caught the inappropriate thing in his words...

Xia Fan laughed and forced himself to hold his panic in his heart. His thoughts changed slightly in his mind and he argued: "Mr. Fu, although Xia Guan is from the prefectures and county, he did not grow up there since childhood. Xia Guan was taken away from the prefectures and county by his mother since he was born, so he said... Xia Guan has never been to the prefectures and county."

Fu Chenmo listened to his discernment, and said sarcastically: "It turns out that Mr. Xia looked down on his hometown so much? That's why he seized the wife of the prefecture, prefecture, county and county magistrate so ruthlessly?"

Xia Fu was angry and embarrassed and said, "Mr. Fu! The officials have never done such shameless things! Even if the officials' wife Li had married someone before, the officials only knew about it today. How could they say that they were forced to rob one?"

He seemed sure that Mrs. Nali would not expose his drum face, and said boldly.

Unexpectedly, Li Niang, who had been stammering and unable to speak, suddenly said at this moment: "Mr. Fu, I used to be... I was indeed the wife who was married by the magistrate of Ke County. If it weren't for the thief Xia Zai threatened his husband's life as a threat, I would never be willing to marry him as a concubine, and live such a life without human beings or ghosts."

Xia Xian was stunned and looked at Li Niang and said with a glaring look on his face: "Do you know what you are saying? Ali? Why are you with these people to frame me? Haven't I been good enough to you over the years?"

Li Niang smiled coldly, her eyes were cold, and she hated the people in front of her: "Does the lord think... if you treat me well, I can forget the past? I have never forgotten how insulted and abused you when I was just snatched into the mansion by you, and how did you forcibly possess me..."

Xia Fa was extremely upset, raised his palm and prepared to hit it. Li Niang closed her eyes and was willing to greet her. Unexpectedly, although the slap sounded, Li Niang did not feel the pain.

County Magistrate Ke stood in front of her, blocked Xia Xian's palm for her, and protected her firmly behind her, staring at Xia Xian with gloomy eyes. The bright red fingers were printed on the white face of the husband. Li Niang stared at the husband who blocked the pain for her, shocked and called out sadly: "Ke Lang..."

Xia Xian was stunned and looked at each other with County Magistrate Ke, and the atmosphere instantly became anxious and terrifying.

County Magistrate Ke was not afraid of Xia Xian's power at all, and protected Mrs. Li and said, "Li Niang, don't be afraid. Even if you tell me about your suffering over the years, with me protecting you, you will never let this beast hurt you any more."

Li Niang nodded with tears in her eyes, and said to Fu Chen with sobs: "Mr. Fu... Everything is as you said. If Xia Fan had not forced me to take me away from the prefectures and counties, Ke Lang and I should have been a couple who respected and loved each other and were old. It's a pity... In my life, Ke Lang's official career will eventually be ruined by this evil thief."

When Xia Xian heard her telling her everything, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Yin Li Niang! Don't talk nonsense, are you not caring about your family at all?"

He threatened and tried to shut up Li Niang, but at this time he heard Fu Chen say, "Madam Li, don't worry... Since I found out about this, I must have made sufficient preparations. I have found out where Xia Shuai imprisoned your parents and brothers and rescued them. Now, they have returned to the prefectures and counties safely, waiting for you to return and reunite with them."

Yin Liniang was immediately moved and bowed to Fu Chen and said, "I would like to thank you for helping you!"

This time, the girl was confident and no longer cared about Xia Xian's words. Her eyes were cold and her face was full of hatred: "Xia Xian, when you did such a despicable and shameless thing back then, did you think of today? No matter how good you treat me, it would be difficult to relieve my hatred. Especially... When I learned that you burned Ke's house with fire, the hatred I had for you in my heart could no longer be erased! Fortunately, Ke Lang's family was fine, otherwise even if I would not die well in this life, I would drag you into a sinister hell!"

She gritted her teeth and said word by word.

Xia Xian took two steps back and turned to look at Fu Chen. He saw the man lowering his eyes calmly, leaning his ears but standing up, as if waiting for a good show.

Xia Xian laughed twice, knowing that he could not defend himself, so he pale and asked Fu Chen with a trembling voice: "What happened to Yin Liniang... Is it really what the Treasurer Qi Chun told you?"

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and replied, "I have already told Guan Xia that you just don't believe it."

Xia Xian continued to ask, "Qi Chun...what did he say to you?"

Fu Chen smiled and said, "Where is Liu Si, only the ten people who are protecting each other know about you officials. But this person fell into the hands of our official. Xia Shenguan... Tell me, what did Qi Chun say to me?"

Xia Xian's feet softened and he knelt down suddenly. He looked pale and said with his lips trembling, "It seems... he really said everything. So, does Qi Chun admit his crime?"

Fu Chen pretended to be surprised and said, "What crime can he have? Xia Shi Guan, Qi Chun, said that all the major cases in Fuling County are your commanders, and he is just forced to obey."

Xia Xian raised his eyes and looked at the husband, and immediately sneered: "What does this traitor Qi Chun say? In the past, I really underestimated him? Why didn't I see that he was such a treacherous villain earlier?"

Fu Chen retorted: "Compared to treacherous, I'm afraid no one is as good as Guan Xia? You have committed numerous crimes. As long as you report to the court, you will be executed!"

Xia Fan snorted coldly, his eyes lost their focus, and he smiled faintly: "Since Qi Chun is so unrighteous, why should I cover up for him? I have thrown the jar, anyway, the matter has reached this point... Why don't I tell you clearly with Lord Fu? These things are not the only ones in charge of Fuling. Since you have mentioned the ten people who are protecting each other, you must have known which officials in Fuling have participated in these major and evil cases.

The reality is not just this. In recent years, while burning, killing, looting, we have done everything we can, but we also used rice bran to replace military rations transported to the frontier line, and smuggled back to the Central Plains through the official grain transport road in Fuling... And it was Qi Chun who was responsible for this matter."

He simply tore off his face and shook off the evil things they had done over the years. Xia Xian knew that no matter what, he would not be able to escape Fu Chen's palm tonight. It would be better to admit it more simply, and perhaps he could even lose his merits.

Fu Chen deliberately pretended not to know about this and said in surprise: "What? This Qi Chun is so bold? How dare he touch the food rations of the frontline soldiers? Does he really want to be raided?"

Xia Xian continued: "Not only that, An Jie from the Weapons Battalion also detained weapons issued by the court, and used them to make rough craftsmanship... all the fine craftsmanship transported from the capital were sold by him, and turned into money and entered his pocket."

He simply shook completely.

Fu Chen looked at him with indifferent appearance and wanted to slap him twice. This kind of thing was said from Xia Xian, and he could not see any guilt or anger. Whether it was Qi Chun or An Xing, half of the money for smuggling military rations and weapons in recent years had flowed into Xia Xian's treasury. He actually said it had nothing to do with him, as if he was the victim.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers killed the enemy in blood on the front line, defended their country, and guarded the frontiers, but because these borers were not full or warm in food, even the weapons that fought were blunt weapons with rough craftsmanship... It was really sad.

Fu Chen had a gloomy face. After Xia Fan counted the crimes of the remaining people, he couldn't help but the anger in his heart. He kicked Xia Fan hard in the chest, then took Yin Liniang and the magistrate Ke away, and instructed the soldiers surrounding the judge's office, saying, "Prepare this thief to the prison of the judge's office and wait for the death! If there was no order issued by the capital, he would not be allowed to be released from the prison!"

He rushed out of the judge's office very quickly, holding his breath, and was willing to breathe when he was outside. He looked at the bright moon covered by the dark clouds, and suddenly felt extremely ironic. In the world today, the moonlight was like this, and the light always appeared from the cracks of the clouds, but the clouds were extremely dark, and even a little bit of the moonlight seemed insignificant.

He sighed and heard sobs coming from behind. Fu Chen turned around and saw Yin Liniang and County Magistrate Ke looking at each other with tears in his eyes, each choking.

"Li Niang, go back with me? Mother is at home... I miss you really. There is also a small tree. He is now one meter tall. The first time he yells in his mouth is his mother..."

"Kelang, I'm afraid I can never go back. It's not that I refuse to go back with you to live the past life. But... it's that I can no longer live with you as I used to be carefree and ignorant. I... I have lost my innocence, how can I be your Ke family's daughter-in-law?"

"You know, I don't care about these things. Li Niang, I just want our family to get together together in a reunion."
