"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure! This advisor has joined the Flood Dragon Gang and is their mole. The Flood Dragon Gang has made a plan to attack the county government, occupy the granary, and control the entire Guobei County. They seem to be planning an uprising today and tomorrow. "
"Master Ji, they might take action immediately after hearing what you said."
The Mind Reading player spoke to Ji Ye in a low voice.
"Aren't they afraid of the court if they dare to rebel?"
Nie Xiaoqian, who had a white veil over her face, was slightly confused. Although most people in Guobei City were used to killing people whenever they disagreed with each other, they didn't have the guts to do something like "rebellion", which could result in the death of their entire family!
"The people that the county magistrate sent to search for the capital have all been killed by the Flood Dragon Gang after the advisor sent a message!
"More importantly, the Flood Dragon Gang has basically figured out that Guobei County is no longer in the world it used to be. So, they don't have to worry about the court! "
The Mind Reading player said.
The Flood Dragon Gang was a local gangster, and they had moles in the county government. Naturally, they had the most comprehensive intelligence.
"Since the Flood Dragon Gang is planning to rebel, we have to eliminate them.
"It's a good thing that they've taken the initiative. At least, we don't have to worry about their morality!"
Ji Ye made a decision. If Dragon City was going to establish a branch settlement in Guobei City, such unstable factors had to be taken care of.
"Sorry, sorry to keep you waiting."
A few minutes later, the county magistrate walked in. His worry was replaced by a smile.
"County Magistrate, you look much better now. It seems that the messenger just brought a good thing?"
Ji Ye replied with a smile.
Although the county magistrate intentionally lowered his voice during the conversation with the constable, for Ji Ye, who had almost mastered True Seer, it was no different from speaking next to his ear.
The county magistrate's performance was flawless on the surface. No wonder he could become the county magistrate in Guobei City, which was a complicated place!
Judging from the performance of the county magistrate, there weren't many flaws on the surface. No wonder he was able to become the county magistrate of Guobei City, which was a complicated place!
"Yes, good news, good news … We have already contacted the magistrate's office!"
"Oh, I wonder when the soldiers from the capital will arrive?"
"Oh, then I wonder when the troops from the Prefecture City will arrive?"
Ji Ye pretended to be curious.
"I'm sorry, but the magistrate's office said that the military strength is a little tight, and asked us to hold on for a few more days."
"By the way, President Ji, the food you mentioned earlier …"
County Magistrate Guo looked relieved and then led the topic to "food".
"Dong, dong, dong …"
However, at this moment, a drumming sound came from outside the county government and interrupted their conversation.
"Master, someone is beating the drum. He wants to complain!"
Soon, an official ran in. He was panting a little because he had run in a hurry.
"Complain?"
"What are you complaining about!"
"It's the family of Li Laosi from the Flood Dragon Gang. They are carrying a coffin and asking the master to uphold justice for them!"
The official cupped his fists and said.
"What?!"
County Magistrate Guo's face slightly changed.
"They said that the person who killed Li Laosi is in the county government … It's these people!"
The officer looked at Ji Ye and the others.
"Hmm?"
Ji Ye and the Mind Reading player looked at each other.
They had come so quickly and in such a way, which meant that the Flood Dragon Gang had taken action immediately after receiving the tip from their advisor. The advisor must've been the one who came up with the plan.
The advisor was a real idiot.
"Well …"
On the other hand, County Magistrate Guo frowned.
He was really frowning because he learned from the constable that the people of Dragon City had committed a crime on the street.
He had indeed thought about making a fuss about it, but in his plan, he would use his authority to let the matter go so that the people of Dragon City would feel indebted to him.
That way, he would take the initiative in their future cooperation, unlike what he was doing right now.
"We want to see the county magistrate!"
"That's right! A murderer must pay with his life!"
"Don't let go of the murderer!"
In particular, voices were coming from outside along with the drumming.
Because of the coffin carried by Li Laosi's family members, hundreds of people had been attracted. They crowded on the street outside the county government to watch the scene.
It was obvious that the Flood Dragon Gang was trying to force the county magistrate to abdicate with the crowd.
If he sided with the people of Dragon City, chances were that the Flood Dragon Gang would instigate the people to attack the county government.
"Well, Chairman Ji …"
So, County Magistrate Guo was caught in a dilemma.
"Lord Guo, I think Li Laosi's family must've made a mistake. We're all law-abiding merchants, and we didn't kill anyone. "
Ji Ye, on the other hand, looked as calm as ever. He even put down the Sweet Dew Tea with a smile.
"We can confront him in court!"
…
"Old Master, you must uphold justice for us."
"Master … They are the ones who killed my brother!"
Two men knelt on the ground in the hall of the yamen with an old plaque that read 'Mirror of Eminence'. They held a piece of paper that was written in blood in their hands. Their faces were pale.
"Silence!"
County Magistrate Guo slapped the wood and said.
"You're accusing the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce of killing someone. Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?"
"Yes, yes … My brother is in this coffin … There's also physical evidence. These knives and bloodstained clothes are the evidence."
The two men pointed at the coffin behind them.
"Coroner, examine it."
"My lord, there's no one inside except a pile of minced meat and broken bones. There's no way to prove who he is."
"How dare you? How can you claim that he's your brother when you can't prove who he is?"
Hearing the coroner's words, County Magistrate Guo raised his eyebrows and slapped the wood hard. He roared.
"You're wrong! It's really our brother inside. He was punched into pieces by one of their men, and that's why he's like this!"
Li Laosi's and Li Laosi's faces turned pale. They hurriedly defended themselves and pointed at Li Yuanba, who was still pressing the PSP button with his head lowered.
"That's absurd! How can a human be so strong? I've never heard of anyone blowing up a person's armor with one punch. I think you're probably targeting the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce. You killed a random person, dismembered his body, and pretended to be the victim! "
County Magistrate Guo interrupted them and said sternly.
"Yes, yes … We have witnesses!"
The two men's faces turned even paler. They hurriedly looked back at the crowd.
"Yes, I was there. I saw it with my own eyes …"
"That's right. My leg was hurt by the pieces of Li Laosi's nine-ringed saber. The wound should be the same as the one above!"
"My clothes were stained by Li Laosi's blood too. Some of it even splashed into my ear …"
Several witnesses walked out of the crowd and knelt in the court. Most of them were wounded and bloodstained, and they were shivering.
"Ah, so noisy! He's dead again!"
In the lobby, Li Yuanba, who was still playing with his PSP handheld with his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and glared at these people with murderous eyes.
"Ah!"
The group of injured people shuddered and immediately shut their mouths.
"My lord, you must uphold justice for us!"
Li Laosi's and Li Laosi's were the only ones who continued shouting because they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
