"Mr. Chen, you're finally back! I can only rely on you now!" Ji Weifeng knelt on the ground, his forehead hitting the stone with a "thump, thump" and bleeding slightly.
He was truly afraid.
The incident in Fengmu County this time was so widespread and vicious that it far exceeded the scope of ordinary cases.
The Gu God Sect was already seen as a thorn in the court's side, and the Li Family was closely tied to the county government. If anything went wrong, even if he, as the County Magistrate, was clean, it would be impossible to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Canglan River!
Not to mention losing his official hat; he might not even save his head!
More so, he'd be marked with infamy, forever scorned by the people of Fengmu County!
To serve as an official, dedicated wholeheartedly, and end up like this is something no one can accept!
"Mr. Chen, save me!" Ji Weifeng wailed, remaining on his knees.
"..."
