233 How Could Someone Like This Even Think of Troubling Lady Gu?

Madam Pang was jolted all the way and was almost scared out of her wits. Now that she was placed on the ground, she looked around in panic.

Before Madam Pang realized what had happened, she heard a familiar voice.

“County master, how do you think we should resolve this matter today?”

Madam Pang looked at that person and discovered that she had been brought to court.

Behind her was Fu Cheng, who was sitting on a high seat, and her husband, who was standing beside Fu Cheng.

However, Madam Pang’s husband, Wang Xiao, did not seem to notice the three of them. He was talking to the County Master with a big smile on his face.

“Sob, sob, sob!” Madam Pang was so excited that she wanted to attract Wang Xiao’s attention!

Wang Xiao heard her voice and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.

However, before Madam Pang could continue to be excited, Wang Xiao withdrew her gaze with an expressionless face and continued to look at Fu Cheng with a fawning expression.

Madam Pang looked at Wang Xiao in confusion.

Wang Xiao was a grand advisor in the yamen and had always had a good relationship with Fu Cheng.

Logically speaking, Wang Xiao should be able to handle today’s matter easily.

However, when Madam Pang looked at Wang Xiao, for some reason, an extremely bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

The person who was respectfully addressed as the county master by Wang Xiao also took the initiative to stand up and bow when he saw Ji Yan.

His attitude was completely different from when he faced Wang Xiao just now. Fu Cheng cupped his hands toward Ji Yan and said, “Brother Ji Yan, you’ve come and brought the prisoners along the way. It’s been hard on you, Brother Ji Yan.”

Madam Pang was shocked. She looked at Fu Cheng and then looked at Ji Yan. She never expected that the two of them were actually on the same side!

When Wang Xiao saw Ji Yan, she also realized that his identity was extraordinary. She quickly came up to him with a fawning expression and said, “This must be Ji Yan, right? Hello, thank you for your trouble. You even brought my wife here. It’s been really hard on you!”

“There’s no need to say all this nonsense. I’m here on my Master’s orders. Lord Fu will serve justice,” Ji Yan said expressionlessly.

Wang Xiao observed Ji Yan. He could clearly sense an extraordinary aura from him.

He did not know Ji Yan, nor did he know who the Master that Ji Yan was talking about.

However, he could realize that the person Ji Yan was talking about was someone they could not afford to offend.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Ji Yan. I’ll get someone to take the two children away for Wang Xiao and put the three criminals in jail,” Fu Cheng said with a smile.

These three people had instigated and offended the prince regent. The crime was so big that it was enough to make them reflect on themselves for several days in jail.

Madam Pang was so scared that her legs went soft. She could only incessantly ask Wang Xiao for help.

Who knew that Wang Xiao seemed to not hear Madam Pang’s pleas for mercy. “County master, don’t worry. This matter is all my family’s fault. They deserve to be punished!”

Madam Pang widened her eyes in shock and was forcefully dragged away.

Ji Yan could not help but snort coldly when he saw that Madam Pang was still raising her neck and whimpering when she was dragged away.

This kind of trash still wanted to make things difficult for his wife. Were they courting death?

At this moment, Wang Xiao sneakily came forward, he looked at Ji Yan and said in a fawning manner, “This Young Master, my name is Wang Xiao. I feel very sorry for your Master for what happened today. I would like to ask if you can think of a way to help me make an exception so that I can personally meet your Master and plead for mercy?”

Before Ji Yan could answer, Wang Xiao had already smiled slyly and sneakily placed a piece of silver in his hand.

“You want to meet my Master?” Ji Yan weighed the piece of silver and sneered. With a flick of his finger, the piece of silver rapidly flew out of his hand, accompanied by a small muffled sound, it instantly sank into the pillar not far away.

The silver completely sank into the solid wood pillar. It could be seen how much strength was used!
