HLnovel Chapter 106 Scapegoat
Chapter 106 Scapegoat
"Father, I..."
Xue Bin raised his head and looked at the county magistrate, his eyes full of fear.
Growing up, he was very afraid of his father.
Because the county magistrate was too strict with him, regarding studying, etiquette, and everything!
This made Xue Bin hate it from the bottom of his heart!
However, no matter how much he hated it, he didn't dare to complain at all!
Because he also hopes that he can get more love from his father!
But ever since he had a younger sister, his father spoiled her and even treated Xue San and Jiang Chen better than he did him!
He...he didn't understand why!
"Bin'er! Has your father ever told you that those who want to achieve great things must be tolerant of others?"
"Now, Jiang Chen is not only my man, but also the man of a noble in the capital. Do you know how serious the consequences will be for me if anything happens to him?!"
"Just because of a small incident at the birthday banquet, you...you treat Jiang Chen like this!"
"You really disappoint me!"
As the county magistrate said this, he raised his hand to hit Xue Bin!
"Father, I know I was wrong!"
"I won't dare to do that again!"
When Xue Bin saw the county magistrate raising his hand, he quickly knelt on the ground.
And his whole body began to tremble.
When the county magistrate saw this scene, he was filled with disappointment!
His son was actually so afraid! ?
If Xue Bin had not admitted it, the county magistrate might not have been so disappointed!
but now……
"Ha ha……"
The county magistrate gave two bitter smiles and put down his hand helplessly.
"Bin'er, no matter what, I will solve this matter for you. From now on... don't attack Jiang Chen again!"
"After the new year, I will become the county magistrate of Luzhou County. At that time... I will recommend you as a filial and honest official. You... must work hard."
……
"The county magistrate of Luzhou County!?"
Xue Bin was extremely excited when he heard the county magistrate's words!
This is equivalent to being promoted several levels at once!
This... this county magistrate is a high-ranking official!
There are many county towns in Dajing, but there are only twenty counties now!
The county magistrate glanced at Xue Bin, then turned and left.
In fact, the county magistrate was very conflicted at this time. With Xue Bin's personality, the county magistrate didn't even want Xue Bin to enter the officialdom.
Because... he was worried that Xue Bin would cause big trouble in the future.
If possible, let’s keep Xue Bin in Jinchuan County!
In this way... maybe things will be better in the future. After all, he has been running Jinchuan County for more than ten years, and it is a solid place!
Moreover, with Jiang Chen in Jinchuan County, it will definitely be an important production base of honeycomb charcoal in the future, and Xue Bin will also have political achievements here.
I just hope Xue Bin won’t make things difficult for Jiang Chen.
On the other hand, Xue Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the county magistrate leave. If his father got angry, he would really be worried that something would happen to him!
However, judging from his father's appearance now, he should be fine!
After all, his father still cares about him more!
In that case, he must get rid of Jiang Chen!
But if the county magistrate knew what Xue Bin was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would die!
However, the county magistrate had already arrived at the hall at this time.
"Master Xue!"
Commander Chen, who had been waiting in the hall, saw the county magistrate and hurried forward to salute!
Now, Commander Chen could feel that the county magistrate and Mr. Xue San were dissatisfied with him.
He didn't dare to provoke the county magistrate again!
"Well, get up!"
The county magistrate saw Commander Chen and spoke indifferently.
"Yes!"
Only after hearing what the county magistrate said did Commander Chen dare to stand up.
"sit down."
At the county magistrate's signal, Commander Chen sat down next to him.
……
But after sitting down, Commander Chen was extremely nervous and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the county magistrate spoke first.
"Xiao Chen, how long have you been with me?" the county magistrate asked with a faint smile.
"Your Excellency! I have been following you for ten years!"
"I have been following you since I came to Jinchuan County!" Commander Chen said hurriedly.
"Ten years is really not a short time!"
The county magistrate sighed, his face showing some reluctance.
"Sir, I am where I am today thanks to your promotion over the past ten years. From now on... I will work like a slave to repay your kindness!"
"Even if I have to sacrifice my life for you, I will do it!"
"Ok?"
When the county magistrate heard this, he was slightly stunned.
"You're willing to sacrifice your life?"
"Not bad!"
When Commander Chen heard the county magistrate repeating this sentence, he thought that the county magistrate was very pleased with it!
He hurriedly said: "Sir, everything I have is given by you!"
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for you!"
"This……"
The county magistrate looked at Commander Chen's determined expression with a flickering look in his eyes.
He thought about it again and again, and then asked Commander Chen: "Xiao Chen, you have a daughter. She will be sixteen after the New Year, right?"
"You haven't been betrothed yet, have you?"
When Commander Chen heard this, he was overjoyed!
The county magistrate asked this, is he planning to form an alliance with him through marriage?
If his daughter could marry Xue Bin, his position in Jinchuan County would definitely be more stable!
"Sir! You are absolutely right. My daughter is round and well-behaved. If you are interested, I would like to bring my daughter to you to see!" Commander Chen said sincerely.
……
"There's no need to look at it. This matter is settled. This is my compensation to you!" said the county magistrate with a sigh.
"Thank you, sir! I am so lucky!"
"Little girl..."
"compensate?"
Commander Chen was excited at first.
But when I thought of the word "compensation", I was stunned.
The compensation the county magistrate mentioned, what does it mean?
"Commander Chen, come here, I have something to tell you."
The county magistrate waved to Commander Chen with a smile on his face.
Commander Chen approached with confusion.
But as he bent down...
"puff!"
There was a sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, and Commander Chen suddenly felt a chill in his chest!
He looked down and saw that a dagger had pierced his chest!
"Sir, you...you..."
"Why……"
Commander Chen fell to the ground in pain and looked at the county magistrate with puzzled eyes!
ten years!
A whole ten years!
He followed the county magistrate for ten whole years!
But now, the county magistrate actually attacked him! ?
This this……
"Xiao Chen, don't blame me. I can't help it."
"Don't worry, your daughter will be my daughter-in-law in the future. Even if she is not my legal wife, she will be my concubine!" The county magistrate walked up to Commander Chen and said helplessly.
"concubine……!?"
"puff!"
When Commander Chen heard the county magistrate's words, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
Afterwards, Commander Chen completely lost his life.
But his eyes were still filled with reluctance...
"call!"
The county magistrate let out a breath.
The scapegoat has been solved, and the next one is... the boss of Mopan Mountain!
Thinking of this, the county magistrate cut his arm with a dagger and then shouted!
"Someone come! Someone is trying to assassinate me!"
"Someone is coming!"
