In March of the fourth year of Zhenghe's reign in the Song Dynasty, it was midnight in Yanggu County Prison.

Ximen Qing lay on the wet and cold straw, feeling that he might not survive.

In the past, Ximen Qing was also considered a well-known figure in Yanggu County. His family had a lot of business including drug store, pawn shop, and silk.

After many years of management, the entire county government has received benefits from him, and every successive Yanggu magistrate has treated Ximen Qing somewhat lightly.

However, since the new magistrate of the county took office at the beginning of the year, the life of the high-ranking officials in Ximen immediately became difficult.

This new county magistrate's surname is Li, with the word "Yi" in his name. He was the top pick in the Guisi Science Examination last year. It is said that the "Ten Strategies for Northern Xinjiang" written at the Qionglin Banquet made officials nod their heads, and he was even recruited as his grandson-in-law by Grand Master Cai Jing.

When such a person was sent to Yanggu to serve as a county magistrate, Ximen Qing originally thought that he had great luck. If he made good friends with him, he would become famous in the future, and he would be able to follow him to heaven.

Unexpectedly, Li Yigang seemed to have set his sights on him as soon as he took office. Within a month, he investigated Ximen Qing's past bribery of officials, seizure of land and many other illegal things. Later, he took this as an opportunity to replace all the subordinate officials in the county government who were collaborating with Ximen Qinghang.

From the beginning to the end, Ximen officials never understood how they had offended Li Yi and were so targeted by him.

At this moment, Ximen Qing has been imprisoned, awaiting final trial.

"Ximen Qing, kneel down, the magistrate is here!"

The jailer's scolding brought Ximen Qing back from his reverie. He turned around and found that Li Yi was standing outside the railing at some point, looking at him with interest.

Li Yi looks to be in his early twenties, tall and thin, and looks handsome and calm. He can be called a talented person.

No wonder Cai Jing took a fancy to him and recruited him as his grandson-in-law.

"The guilty people have met the magistrate."

Ximen Qing fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

There must be a reason why Li Yi came here late at night.

Is it possible that there is still hope for my case?

"Take off your pants!"

Li Yi looked at Ximen Qing and smiled strangely, his face full of expectation.

Ximen Qing was stunned.

How could you open your mouth and ask yourself to take off your pants in the middle of the night?

Could it be that he...?

"Sir, this-"

Before Ximen Qing could finish his words, he heard a "pop" sound, and the jailer on the side slapped him hard on the face.

"Are you deaf when I ask you to take off your pants?"

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Ximen Qing didn't dare to delay any longer. He took off his pants and stood in front of Li Yi.

Li Yi's eyes lit up!

What "Water Margin" said is true, this Ximen Qing really raised a big turtle!

Pan Donkey, Deng Xiaoxian, he deserves the word donkey.

"Well, it's well-deserved!"

The magistrate nodded, signaled Ximen Qing to stand up, then turned around and left.
