Chapter 827: Picked up an axe only to drop it on their foot
How could Su Wan allow the matter to end so easily? She arched a brow and then spoke to the official without giving face, " Oh, so you could hear us? I thought that with the lack of reaction, your ears were filled with oil."
The official flushed in embarrassment, the quarrel was so loud how could they not hear? Of course, they could! But they did not want to come out as neither of them thought that it was worth getting mingled with commoners.
The official and his colleagues thought that Su Wan and the two men would leave after getting scolded by Lai Baihu, who would have expected that this woman would compare them to the Emperor and say such heavy words.
She was right. Even the Emperor did not turn commoners away from the imperial court, so who were they to turn commoners away when they came to ask for their help? By showing disdain towards commoners weren't they acting above Emperor?
Though it was not a big deal if this woman really had a way to contact the Emperor then it would become a big deal!
' This woman, she better not be lying or else this matter would not end by just sending her to Yamen, but even if she was there was more than one way to deal with her,' the official thought ruthlessly in his head. But on the surface, he continued to smile while looking at Su Wan as he said, " Please show us the document——"
" I won't dare," Su Wan sneered coldly. She looked at the officials in front of her with a cold look in her eyes, she was not blind and could see that these people were hostile to her. If they refused to admit that the document of appointment was right then she would have nowhere to go.
She had seen such a thing happening in her last life, back then she was selected for a good college but her appointment letter was hidden by her stepmother and sister, even though Su Wan searched the entire house she couldn't find it.
And when she told her father about it, he reprimanded her in return saying that as a woman she should learn how to stay at home, cook and clean.
Even though she made a lot of fuss including hitting Su Lan so badly that she was sent to the hospital, those three did not cough out her college admission letter, in the end, Su Wan could only miss her admission. Because her father knew what he had done, he sent her away forcefully before Su Lan's examination because he was afraid that she would do the same thing to Su Lan that they did to her.
Though Su Wan couldn't avenge herself back then she dealt with that family later on.
The Big Ocean City was their territory which means that even the Yamen was under their control. If she was caught up in trouble then she could only turn to the Emperor but who was the Emperor? He was the one who sent her to this rotten place in an attempt to test her. Su Wan couldn't allow herself to fail at the starting point, no it was better to say that she did not dare to fail at this moment.
She looked at the official in front of her and then stated calmly, " I am the newly appointed county magistrate which means only the vice magistrate has the right to question me. Which is why I am asking you to call Yan Zhao, if he doesn't arrive then you and I will remain in a stalemate till the end."
The official understood that Su Wan seemed to have seen through his little scheme and flushed in anger. He thought that this woman would be easy to fool but she was quite sneaky, in the end, he could only turn to the official under him and say, " Go and bring Lord Yan tell him that a woman is here and claiming to be the county magistrate."
He used one claim to make it look like someone was making trouble. In the past Yan Zhao was rather upset with the magistrates who came to their territory, he hoped that Yan Zhao would become prejudiced against this woman as well and help them to deal with her, after all, how could they work under a woman?!
Of course, Su Wan noticed his little trick but did not say anything. This official's trick would have worked if Yan Zhao hadn't come to her house, he would have certainly been on guard and tried to hold her down but now that he knew that she was here to genuinely help the people of this city, he would definitely be on her side.
Thus, she did not say anything and simply watched the official run back inside the county office.
" Lord Yan! Lord Yan!"
Yan Zhao was reading another set of documents about the deaths of those who died because of starvation and cold when he heard the voice of the little official. He was already in a bad mood and when he heard the voice of this little official who always sucked up to Qi Zhen and the official called Peng Yinfei, he immediately frowned and looked at him with annoyance.
" Whats the matter with you? Is this a fish market and you are a seller ?" He scolded the little official causing the latter to turn pink in embarrassment but at the same time, the little official felt quite giddy. Lord Yan was in a bad mood, in case that woman was here to find trouble with them, then she would really cry later on!
The little official bowed in front of Yan Zhao and then said respectfully, " Lord Yan, please forgive me. It is just that there is a woman who is claiming to be the newly appointed county magistrate. Lord Pei had asked you to come out and do justice——"
" Madam Su is here?" Before the little official could finish speaking, Yan Zhao stood up straight from his chair and looked at him with anger brimming in his eyes. He then asked, " Did you fools stop Madam Su outside as well?"
The Little official: "…" Oh no.
