Even though this is an interrogation by the county magistrate, after all, it's not conducted in the court. Hence, there's no need to follow too many rules. Under normal circumstances, noise wouldn't be tolerated, and there would certainly be an official to silence the girl.
But the county magistrate did not interrupt Shen Hua's childish words, and how dare Mr. Xue overstep his authority and take the magistrate's role.
Before, he seemed like a lion in fury.
Now, he is like an eggplant beaten by frost. Far from scolding, he only remembers to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
County Magistrate Liu came in a hurry this time, but he didn't forget to change into his regular clothes.
At his age, it would be difficult to get a promotion, and he hasn't achieved much in his life. A part of that is because the Magistrate above him did nothing; when he first came to Fengzhou, he had high aspirations, but over time, he no longer had the energy, and every case was restricted by his superiors.
