Chapter 422 Are you worthy of being a scholar?

Two detectives escorted the Du family father and son to where Wei Yuan was. One of the detectives whispered as they walked, "Brother, isn't it bad for us to accept bribes in front of the county magistrate?"

Okay or not, he actually didn’t care. What he cared about was that he was worried that this incident would cause Wei Yuan to target them.

He did not forget that Wei Yuan, the dog official, was extremely angry with them and was always looking for opportunities to deal with them. Now this matter had fallen into the eyes of this dog official.

He doesn't believe it.

This dog official will pretend not to see it!
"Bribe? What bribe? This is evidence. It's evidence that this guy bribed us, not that we accepted the bribe!"

Another constable said righteously.

What he wanted to say most was to curse Wei Yuan, the dog official. Neither of them had done anything bad, but Wei Yuan, the dog official, was so unkind that he fined them one month's salary.

They watched the man in danger without helping, but the problem is, they knew their own limitations very well. Wei Yuan, the corrupt official, was being held hostage, and they had no ability to save him. It was good enough that they did not cause more trouble.

and.

They weren't the only two who watched someone in danger fail to help, so why did this crooked official only fine them their salaries?

If you are fined your salary, you have to make money on your own, otherwise how can you support your family?

"brother……"

The constable who spoke first wanted to say something, but when he saw Wei Yuan so close, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said respectfully:

"Sir, two criminals are being brought here!"

Wei Yuan said in a bad tone: "You two are really capable. You accepted bribes in front of me. Do you know that what you did is against the law? Just based on this one thing, I can chop off your heads!"

The constable who spoke first trembled all over, and when he was about to beg for mercy, another constable cursed him secretly as "waste", smiled flatteringly, and said sternly:

"Sir, you misunderstood. We are not accepting bribes. This bastard wanted to bribe us. This is evidence!"

"exhibit?"

Wei Yuan sneered and was about to curse when he saw the bulging money bag in the constable's hand. His eyes suddenly lit up and he changed his words:
"Since you said it's evidence, why don't you bring it up!"

"Dog officer!"

The constable holding the money bag cursed inwardly, but did not dare to show any disrespect on his face. He suppressed his reluctance. He was fined a month's salary and finally got some compensation, but Wei Yuan, the dog official, shamelessly asked for it. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he understood one thing:
The arm cannot twist the thigh!
Wei Yuan could not wait to grab the purse that the police courier had delivered to him, felt the weight of the purse, and casually stuffed it into his pocket, saying:
"I'll keep this evidence for you first!"

After saying that, Wei Yuan waved his hand, signaling the two detectives to go to the side and listen to his orders. As soon as the two detectives left, he looked at the Du family father and son and sneered:
"You two are really brave. You dare to steal the Mountain God's Order. Aren't you afraid of going to the eighteen levels of hell?"

"My Lord, I, I, I don't understand what you are talking about..."

Du Guan was about to make a quibble, but before he could finish his words, he heard Wei Yuan interrupt him impatiently, "How dare you lie in front of me? You don't know whether you live or die. Open your mouth!"

The constable who was following orders nearby heard what Wei Yuan said, and came to Du Guan. He ignored Du Guan's pleading eyes and was about to slap him a few times. When he saw that Du Guan was trying to dodge, he made a "clang" sound, drew his sword from its sheath, and said in a bad tone:

"If you dare to hide, I will chop off your legs and make you unable to walk in the future."

Upon hearing this, Du Guan trembled all over and dared not move.

"Pop!", "Pap!", "Pap!"

Seeing that Du Guan did not dodge again, the constable put away his sword and slapped him several times, causing Du Guan to spit out blood. It seemed that all the anger that Wei Yuan had received was directed at Du Guan. "Now do you admit that you stole the Mountain God's Order?"

Wei Yuan sneered.

Du Guan was about to nod his head in acknowledgement, but a few slaps suddenly sobered him up. Du Wenxuan spoke first, "Sir, we didn't steal the Mountain God Order!"

Stealing the Mountain God's Order is a capital crime, and he dared not admit it. Not to mention that Wei Yuan did not see it with his own eyes, even if Wei Yuan saw it with his own eyes, he could not admit it.

"How brave!"

Wei Yuan shouted coldly, and was about to ask the constable to give Du Wenxuan a few bites when Du Wenxuan spoke again:
"Mr. County Magistrate, you won't listen to our explanation and insist that we stole the Mountain God Order. Could it be that we just happened to pick it up?"

"Explain, what qualifications do you have to explain in front of me?"

Wei Yuan said disdainfully.

Not to mention that he knew that the Mountain God Order was stolen by the Du family father and son. Even if he didn't know, he said that it was stolen by the Du family father and son, and it was stolen by the Du family father and son. Who would dare to object?

Du Wenxuan said arrogantly: "My Lord, I am a scholar!"

"student?"

Wei Yuan frowned slightly, and looked at Du Wenxuan carefully. He did not feel any trace of noble spirit from him, and said coldly:
"What honor do you have?"

Du Wenxuan shook his head subconsciously.

It's not that he didn't want to talk, but he couldn't lie about this matter, especially in front of an imperial official like Wei Yuan. Lying would be a capital crime.

"Without any achievements, are you qualified to call yourself a scholar in front of me?"

Wei Yuan looked ferocious, glaring at Du Wenxuan as if he were looking at a pile of stinky dog ​​shit, and cursed:

"Someone, take this bastard pretending to be a scholar out here and beat him to death!"

"Sir, I am a scholar. I really am a scholar..."

Du Wenxuan trembled when he saw the two detectives approaching him fiercely. He wanted to explain, but when he saw Wei Yuan's unfriendly look, he quickly changed the subject and said:
"Sir, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never call myself a scholar again. Please forgive me!"

Wei Yuan said expressionlessly: "Are you deaf, or are your ears just decorations? Didn't you hear his dog barking? You let him yell in front of me?"

"Pop!", "Pap!", "Pap!"

The two constables didn't dare to say anything more and quickly slapped Du Wenxuan in the face, silencing him.

Wei Yuan watched Du Wenxuan being dragged away like a dead dog, and was dealt with by two constables not far away. He nodded with satisfaction.

Without any official title, you dare to call yourself a scholar in front of him? Do you really think being a scholar is free and anyone can be one if they want?
Wei Yuan said expressionlessly:
"Let me ask you one last question. Do you admit to stealing the Mountain God's Order?"

"Sir, I, I, I admit it!"

Du Guan's voice trembled as he looked at Wei Yuan's fierce gaze. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

Who made him see from the corner of his eye that the bastard was being beaten up by two constables, and hear the bastard's screams from time to time? If he didn't admit it, he would probably end up like this.
