บท 220: Atonement

County Magistrate Liu was immersed in his memories when he suddenly heard someone ask.

"Lord Liu, when will you give us the hundred taels of silver you promised?"

Magistrate Liu suddenly came back to his senses and asked with wide eyes, "What silver?"

The commoners were shocked by his fierce appearance, but when it came to a hundred taels of silver, everyone mustered their courage and continued.

"You said it yourself in front of everyone just now. As long as we can stop the ox cart, we can get a hundred taels of silver. You're an official. You can't lie!"

At this moment, County Magistrate Liu no longer felt hot-blooded.

All that was left was the pain of losing a hundred taels of silver.

Now, he finally understood.
