Border town county government office.

Chu Dawen was sitting in the county government and drinking tea irritably.

Chu Dawen snorted coldly and said to the yamen runners beside him: "What do the people in the border town say about me now?"

The yamen runner hesitated and said, "The Lord is the Master of Qingtian, so the people naturally praise him."

"Don't fool me, do you think I know? They are all saying that I help the evildoer and help the Yalan family bully a weak son-in-law. If Hua Burou hadn't supported the people, I would have framed the son-in-law and successfully tortured the son-in-law to death!" Chu Dawen said with a ferocious look on his face.

The yamen runner felt bitter in his heart. Since he knew, he still wanted to ask me?

Chu Dawen said sadly: "Although I am not considered a blue sky in the border town, I have not done much evil. This time I lost my reputation!"

The yamen runner curled his lips quietly and thought to himself, "You are so good at playing with the little lady, how many little lady has been made to jump into the well by you?" After jumping into the well, you sent someone to pretend to be a bandit to get rid of the whole family!"

Chu Dawen suddenly sneered: "I can't kill him, this idle son-in-law Jin Yao, who escaped into Hua Burou's sphere of influence. Can't I still kill his family?"

The yamen runner's heart was thrilled and he whispered: "Why did sir say this? Could it be that sir has a plan?"

Chu Dawen said sinisterly: "I received the news that Jin Yao's family has disappeared from Fengyan County. It is speculated that they will probably come to Bianzhen to meet with Jin Yao. If Jin Yao's family falls into my hands, I will first use a set of criminal laws to make them feel unhappy, and then I will use them to threaten Jin Yao. At that time, Jin Yao kneels down and begs me, and I will not let him go!"

The yamen runner flattered and said, "Sir, it's true that sir, how could that waste Jin Yao jump out of the palm of his hand?"

Chu Dayin took a sip of tea with pride: "Officials always encounter grasshoppers who like to jump by themselves, but the grasshopper is a grasshopper after all. After all, it is a grasshopper. With a light pinch, it breaks, and stomps at will, and breaks."

"Sir... I'm not doing well." Suddenly a yamen runner rushed into the back hall of the county yamen.

Chu Dawen slapped the table and said, "Can you speak? Who is wrong?"

The yamen runner rushed into the back hall of the county yamen and said, "Sir, it's really bad for you! Jin Yao's son-in-law led a team of soldiers to rush into the adult's house and arrested the adult's wife and son."

"What??" Chu Dawen was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair.

Chu Dawen stood up and said unbelievably: "You said Jin Yao led his troops to capture my official's family? Who gave him the courage?"

The yamen runner said in fear: "It's true sir, they have taken your family to the direction of the city gate."

Chu Dawen was so angry that he trembled all over his body: "Hurry up, summon all the yamen runners in the county yamen and ask them to bring weapons with me to catch the lawless madmen!"

The yamen runners said fearfully, "Sir, Jin Yao brought hundreds of soldiers to come, and there are no more than forty yamen runners in our county."

"If you want to go, go. I don't believe that Jin Yao is more courageous than the sky to kill the imperial officials?" Chu Dawen roared.

Chu Dawen hurriedly summoned thirty yamen runners to the city gate. Fortunately, the county yamen was not far from the city gate. When Jin Yao led his troops out of the city gate, Chu Dawen happened to arrive with the yamen runners.

"Jin Yao, you dare!" Chu Dawen shouted at the top of his lungs.

Chu Dawen rushed out of the city gate and said angrily: "Jin Yao, you are so arrogant. You even dare to arrest the family of the imperial officials. Do you have any kingly laws in your eyes?"

Jin Yao rode his horse and looked down at Chu Dawen: "Don't get me wrong, Lord Chu, I am a first-class good citizen. The reason I asked Lord Chu's family to go to the military camp was because I caught a spy in the Juntianyuan next to the Northern Army camp, and the spy case happened to be related to Lord Chu's family."

"It's nonsense! How could my family be related to the spy? You're framed!" Chu Dawen pointed at Jin Yao and said angrily.

Jin Yao smiled slightly: "How to check the facts, you will know. Lord Chu is relieved. The Northern Army has always been fair and strict in conducting evidence! If Lord Chu's family has nothing to do with the spy case, I will naturally send them back when the time comes."

"Okay, Jin Yao, you can tell the white ones that are black with one mouth. Even if my family is involved in the case, I should still take my family to the county government for trial. How can I take it to the Northern Army camp?" Chu Dawen glared at Jin Yao and said fiercely.

Jin Yao raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "Original civil cases should naturally be tried by the county government. However, this case is not an ordinary case, but about the security of the entire Great Yan Kingdom. Many matters in spies need to be kept confidential and cannot be tried publicly. Of course, they cannot be tried by the county government. This matter must be heard by the military in secret."

Chu Dawen saw that Jin Yao was determined to take the person away and was so anxious that he sweated on his forehead: "Jin Yao, do you know how the court will punish you if you do this? You are neither civil servants nor military officers. What qualifications do you have to lead troops to take people?"

Jin Yao spread his hands and said innocently: "I investigate the case for the safety of the Great Yan Kingdom and the Emperor's safety. Why should the Emperor punish me? Although I am not a civil servant or a military officer, my future wife is the lord of the Northern Army. It happened that I caught a spy in the Military Field Courtyard next to the Northern Army camp. Such a major event is urgent, so I naturally lead my troops to investigate the case. I will do this for no effort. I can do it for my future wife to take action, and I will be indecisive to share my worries for my wife!"

Chu Dawen widened his eyes: "You...no wonder you dare to be so arrogant. It turns out that you really hooked up with Hua Burou, but don't be arrogant, Hua Burou..."

"Oh... Lord Chu has thought about it before talking about it." Jin Yao looked at Chu Dawen and sneered.

Chu Dawen choked.

Chu Dawen was silent for a while and approached Jin Yao and whispered: "Jin Yao, do you really want to make a mortal enemy with me? Do you know that Hua Burou can't protect you for long, and you will be in a state of doom."

Jin Yao casually patted the gray on his clothes: "If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend others. If someone offends me ten times, what would Lord Chu do if my family came to the border town?"

Chu Dawen was shocked and took a few steps back: "So that's it. You are the first to start."

"Mr. Chu misunderstood again. I'm called self-protection." Jin Yao curled the corners of his mouth and said coldly.

Chu Dawen couldn't bear it anymore and roared at Jin Yao: "Since you say you want to investigate the case, you have to talk about what kind of case it is. You're talking about what kind of case involves my official's family."

"It's okay to reveal it at all. Has Lord Chu heard of the seed plan?"

Chu Dawen frowned and said, "What seed plan?"

Jin Yao looked up at the sky: "A long time ago, a prairie merchant came to Bianzhen to buy silk. When buying silk, he kept sowing magical seeds. Every few years he would come to Bianzhen to see which seeds can be used and which seeds cannot be used. If they can be used, he would tell those seeds that they had the blood of the grassland people. The prairie merchant would use various methods to control these seeds to convey messages and deliver goods to the grassland. This plan is referred to as the seed plan."

How wonderful the expression on Chu Dawen's face should be.
