The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 354: Counterkill!

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Counterkill!

Zeng Changyun was defiant, he refused to accept any of it.

He had clearly passed on Xu Qianli’s criminal evidence, and the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee had even found ironclad evidence against Xu Qianli; why hadn’t they prosecuted Xu Qianli? Instead, they were giving him and Lan Qianrong trouble. On what grounds?

Could it be that Xu Qianli had really secured connections with the secretary of the Provincial Committee?

Even if he had, they should still follow the rules, shouldn’t they? How could they trouble him, Zeng Changyun, knowing full well that Xu Qianli was in the wrong?

Zou Ming already had a sullen face, and this matter had put him in a very difficult position. Now, having come to Jiang City to handle the situation, he was publicly questioned by Zeng Changyun and immediately lost his temper.

"Very well, Zeng Changyun, you keep saying Xu Qianli has done wrong. I want to ask you, what exactly has he done wrong?"

"Surely you’re not suggesting he raped two women, had an affair with Sun Yan, the Vice County Magistrate of Jiang City, ruining her marriage, and had a fling with your wife, He Lili?"

Upon hearing Zou Ming’s words, Zeng Changyun fell silent.

He had no intention of revealing his affair with He Lili, but just before, He Caixia had already exposed him, and now Zou Ming was exposing him too; it seemed like he could no longer hide it, so he simply accepted it.

He could play the role of a cuckolded fool, but Xu Qianli had to be taken down no matter what; he couldn’t afford to lose both his wife and his position.

Li Weiguo nervously said, "Secretary Zou, this matter has already spread far and wide, creating much uproar. Everyone is saying what Xu Qianli did, and the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee has even investigated and found evidence. How could we let Xu Qianli off easily now? It would be hard to convince the public."

"Convince the public?"

Zou Ming sneered, grabbed a stack of files from his secretary, and threw it at Li Weiguo’s face.

"You say we can’t convince the public, right? This is the investigative material for the case. Take a look for yourself, and then speak!"

"Pick it up, read it now, immediately; I want to see if you can still make those remarks you just did!"

In a fury, Zou Ming frightened Li Weiguo, who quickly picked up the documents and skimmed through them.

After getting the gist, his expression changed drastically, and he turned sharply to look at Zeng Changyun with a distaste as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

"After all this, it turns out that you, Zeng Changyun, are an eunuch?"

Everyone present perked up their ears.

What? Zeng Changyun is an eunuch?

He was a big and burly man with a wife; how could he be an eunuch?

Zeng Changyun’s face was indescribably ugly; he could ignore the fact that his wife, He Lili, had an affair with Xu Qianli.

But being impotent, being a living eunuch, was his biggest secret, something he never wanted anyone to know.

Now, to his horror, Li Weiguo had publicly revealed it, making him so furious he lunged forward and grabbed Li Weiguo by the neck, "What the hell are you saying, you bastard? You dare slander me, I’ll kill you!"

Li Weiguo violently broke free from Zeng Changyun’s grip.

"Who’s slandering you? Who’s throwing mud at you? It’s recorded in the investigation report from the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee. Your wife, He Lili, is still a virgin."

"She has been married to you for almost ten years and is still a virgin. Apart from you being an eunuch, what other reasonable explanation could there be?"

Li Weiguo had seen Zeng Changyun’s wife, He Lili. That woman had a sizable rear, a waist as slender as a willow, her breasts outrageously large, her figure nothing short of fantastic, and she loved wearing sexy clothes, a sight too tempting not to ensnare countless men.

With a body to die for and a face that was stunningly beautiful and irresistibly charming, her gaze seemed like it had hooks, able to ensnare anyone’s heart. Which man could resist lusting after her?

Li Weiguo had envied Zeng Changyun more than once for having such a gorgeous wife, probably dying of happiness every night.

Who knew that such a seductive and charming woman had been married to Zeng Changyun for ten years and still remained a virgin?

Having such a bewitching and delicate wife untouched for ten years, what was Zeng Changyun if not a eunuch?

Not only Li Weiguo, but many people present had also changed their view of Zeng Changyun.

Zeng Changyun’s face had turned the color of liver. His biggest secret had been revealed. It was over, he was done; he couldn’t face anyone anymore.

Ignoring himself for the moment, Zeng Changyun suddenly looked towards Xu Qianli.

"It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. My wife is so beautiful, how could there not be something between you and her, Xu Qianli?"

Zeng Changyun couldn’t believe it and refused to believe it, even if it killed him. His wife, He Lili, was an unparalleled beauty, and Xu Qianli had had the opportunity. How could nothing have happened?

Clearly, something had happened between the two. He Lili had even given Xu Qianli her beloved car, and recently she had been running around for him, playing the role of Xu Qianli’s devoted wife.

Yet, how could the two of them not have slept together, not have tumbled in bed?

Xu Qianli coldly responded.

"Enough, Zeng Changyun, to attack me, you really stoop to any level, using every tactic, even making your own wife He Lili a stepping stone and sacrifice for your ambitions, which is utterly ridiculous!"

"Everyone, actually I’ve had a secret I wanted to keep hidden, but now it seems I have to reveal it."

"When the old County Magistrate passed away and after Zhang Kuisan had dealt with me, Zeng Changyun came to me asking me to..."

In front of everyone, Xu Qianli repeated the encounter where Zeng Changyun had wanted him to father a child with He Lili by mistake, resulting in him going to Lan Qianrong’s room instead.

However, Xu Qianli only shared what needed to be shared, not mentioning anything about Lan Qianrong, quickly clarifying their identities, and joining forces, Lan Qianrong in hiding and Xu Qianli openly, to fight against Zhang Kuisan.

Regarding his relationship with He Lili, Xu Qianli said not a word.

After hearing this, everyone’s view of Zeng Changyun shifted again.

Turns out, he had taken the initiative to pair Xu Qianli with his wife, He Lili. It was audacious of him to reveal such a thing.

Even more outrageous was that he had known in advance about Lan Qianrong’s assignment to Jiang City, and he wanted to use Xu Qianli to sabotage Lan Qianrong, planning to disgrace her to complicate her new role.

And Lan Qianrong, fully aware of the specifics, had continued to use Zeng Changyun extensively during this time. It was shocking what she was capable of.

It was truly outrageous.

Zeng Changyun turned pale, wanting to say something in his defense but couldn’t find the words. He knew too well that nothing he said would matter now.

It was over. He had thought he was about to become the Deputy County Magistrate of Jiang City, but his overcalculations had not only failed to deal with Xu Qianli but had also implicated himself.

This issue could be big or small, but even with good luck and just a reprimand-like punishment, the position of Deputy County Magistrate would have nothing to do with him now.

At that moment, Teng Ziyin, accompanied by the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, stepped forward.

"County Magistrate Lan, Vice County Magistrate Zeng, please come with us. There are some matters we need to thoroughly understand!"
