Chapter 827: Join Him?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As of now, he was not in a hurry to go to Zhu Village. Instead, he looked at Fang Yiming coldly and said, “Are you from Shengming Academy?”

“Yes.

“I am going to take this book. I will return it another day.” Shao Zhongxi then left with the two books.

He was extremely brazen, and there were so many people in the county government watching. They knew that he was the one who took the books. If anyone wanted to find these two books in the future, they would look for him. They would not implicate anyone in the county government.

“You must comply with the rules!” Fang Yiming was indignant and wanted to stop him. ‘You can’t just take these two books because you want to!”

Unfortunately, Qi Yin quickly pulled out her sword to stop him from speaking any further.

The officers and the registrar were all trembling, but they also secretly admired the County Magistrate.

Their County Magistrate was so simple-minded that he dared to fight back even to royalty!

He was a prince, how could he afford to offend him?

“Then you can go to the memorial to consult the Emperor about this.” Shao Zhongxi did not bother turning his head. The more this person was involved, the more it meant that it had nothing to do with this person.

He had heard from his brother that this County Magistrate was Xue Yan’s classmate and good friend. Xue Yan was likely his nephew, so he would never let anything happen to his nephew’s good friend.

Seeing Shao Zhongxi’s arrogant look, Fang Yiming turned furious. “l will not allow this book to be taken away!’

Although his official position was small and the memorial might not reach the Emperor’s hands even if he went to the Imperial Capital, he still had to play his role. How could he be so disrespectful to the law?

On second thought, he felt that something was wrong. No matter how st*pid this person was, he would not walk in so brazenly and take away the book just like that. They even pointed a sword at him…

His friend was so brilliant that when he went to look at these two books, he didn’t mention taking this book away from the place.

This was a change of pace for him. The two of them were using different methods to protect him, the County Magistrate, so that he would not be implicated and get into trouble…

Fang Yiming was stunned. He could not see the big picture.

However, he could wait for a while to get the book. The most important thing now was to tell Xue Yan that Shao Zhongxi had taken the two books so that Xue Yan would be kept in the loop.

Fang Yiming wanted to go back to the back of the house and contact Xue Yan, but he had only walked halfway when the officer who had gone to the government office to deliver the official documents returned. As he reported the situation, he said excitedly, “Sir, I heard something interesting. You used to be from Shengming Academy, right?”

“What are you trying to say?” Fang Yiming frowned. Just now, he was also asked if he was from Shengming Academy.

“l heard from the people in the government office that the missing Crown Prince has been found. He used to study at Shengming Academy and lived in our county before that.” Shengming Academy?

In this county?

The Crown Prince?

That means…

“Are you talking about Wei Zizhan?” Fang Yiming blurted out.

“Yes, yes, yes. Sir, how did you know?” The officer had a look of admiration. He hadn’t even finished speaking, and he had already guessed it.

Fang Yimings heart skipped a beat.

Xue Yan had previously investigated the Wei family, and now Shao Zhongxi was also investigating the Wei family. Could it be that there was something wrong with the Crown Prince that was recently accepted? Could it be that Wei

Zizhan was not the Crown Prince at all?

Fang Yiming felt increasingly uneasy.

Even if Wei Zizhan wasn’t the Crown Prince, why was Xue Yan suddenly investigating this matter? Moreover, Xue Yan had decided not to be an official and wanted to hide his edge.. Logically speaking, he should not care about this matter, nor could he…
