Chapter 239

If they were to really talk about fighting, Miss Xiao Yu would never be able to defeat Class Monitor Zhou, but how could Class Monitor Zhou have the nerve to actually hit a woman? At most, he would use his arms to block Miss Xiao Yu's attack and try to grab her arm.

However, Xiao Yu's ten fingers were sharp, her teeth were sharp, and there was nothing she wouldn't do. In a short while, not only Class Monitor Zhou's face, but also his arms and hands were scratched by Xiao Yu. When Class Monitor Zhou's face was scratched by Xiao Yu, Xu Lin appeared at Green Mountain Ravine with a few ruffians.

In the forest on the hillside behind Hua Yunfei's house, Xu Lin was lying on the grass with a piece of grass in his mouth. He crossed his legs and hummed a song. There was a rustling sound in the grass. Suddenly, someone said, "Brother Xiang is back!"

Xu Lin got up with a roll and saw a skinny young man who was about the same age as him, about 25 or 26 years old, quickly running up the hill. Xu Lin immediately went up to him and asked, "How is it?"

The person called Brother Xiang said excitedly while panting, "Got it. Damn it, I put three packs of knockout drugs in their water tank. Even if he's a big cow, he'll still have to lie down obediently."

Xu Lin laughed and said, "Brothers, let's go!"

Brother Xiang stopped him and said, "Wait, there's only a male and a female in the Hua family. The young one isn't here. He probably went hunting."

Xu Lin was slightly stunned and said regretfully, "What a pity. Although the monk can run, the temple can't run, but we'll have to trouble us to fight again. Damn it."

After Xu Lin said that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's get to work!"

Six or seven people came out of the grass. All of them had crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes. Their appearances weren't particularly repulsive. It was just that they were used to having these unseemly expressions on their faces. Over time, they naturally became like this.

Immediately, Brother Xiang led the way with Xu Lin following closely behind. The rest of them each carried a bag of unknown items down the mountain. Brother Xiang put knockout drugs in the Hua family's water tank. Old Man Hua and his wife ate the food made from the water in the tank and had already fainted by the dining table.

A few ruffians rushed into the Hua family and tied Old Man Hua and his wife up with cow tendons. Then, they started searching the house. Even though the tiger skin was well hidden, the Hua Clan was only a small place. Very quickly, they found the tiger skin. Xu Lin took the tiger skin in his hands and carefully stroked the smooth and beautiful fur. He laughed loudly.

Xu Lin rolled up the tiger skin and wrapped it with a sheet. He put it on his shoulder and said to the others, "Do it!" Immediately a few strong men dug a large hole in the courtyard of the Hua family. Then they went to the small river in front of the courtyard and carried a few dozen buckets of water into the large hole.

Xu Lin coldly smiled and ordered, "Drag that male and female pair over!"

Xu Lin laughed sinisterly, "What are you doing? The day you offended Master Qi, you should have known this day would come! " Xu Lin snapped his fingers. Brother Xiang and the rest didn't say a word. They turned around and went to pick up the bags that they carried down the hill. Xu Lin ordered, "Pour them in!"

Brother Xiang and the rest opened the bags and poured them into the hole. White smoke rose. When the things were poured into the hole, Old Man Hua and his wife closed their eyes. They immediately felt the temperature of the water rise rapidly.

Old Man Hua suddenly understood and couldn't help but be shocked. He blurted out, "Lime! You animals … Cough cough cough … "

Although he closed his face and lowered his head, the lime powder still flew into his mouth, choking him until he couldn't speak. The temperature of the water rose rapidly. Old Man Hua and his wife only cursed a few times before they felt an unbearable burning pain. They couldn't help but scream loudly.

Xu Lin and the rest stood at the edge of the hole and laughed. This method of soaking in lime water was the most common method used by the local chieftains to punish criminals or those who offended them. Other methods such as digging out the heart, cutting the tongue, skinning the skin, and pulling the nose were also common methods used by the chieftains to punish others.

However, although the other methods looked bloody, the pain the person suffered was far less than soaking in lime water. When the lime came into contact with water, it emitted a large amount of heat. It was like boiling water boiling a person, causing their skin and flesh to split open. The pain was unbearable, but they wouldn't die immediately. This kind of pain was the cruelest.

"Old thing, you don't know what's good for you. You went against Master Qi. This is your ending!"

Xu Lin said fiercely. Hearing the heart-wrenching screams of Old Man Hua and his wife, even though the other mountain people's residences were some distance away, he was still worried that someone would hear them and cause unnecessary trouble. He waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

Xu Lin carried the tiger skin and led the group of ruffians back to the county town. Old Man Hua and his wife were screaming and rolling in the lime pit. They were like two mudfish that had fallen into a pot of boiling water. Their skin and flesh were falling off piece by piece. Fresh blood quickly dyed the white lime water red. Their bodies rubbed against the rough mud walls. Their cooked skin and flesh fell off, revealing their white bones.

By the time the family closest to the Hua Family heard the mournful screams and rushed over to investigate, Old Man Hua and his wife were paralyzed in the blood-red lime water. Steam rose from their bodies, revealing their white bones. They were already dead.

…

Ye Xiaotian waited in the yamen for a long time. His laughing sickness had passed, but he still didn't see the county magistrate and his brother-in-law return. At this time, Squad Leader Zhou came back with Ma Hui and a group of constables.

Ye Xiaotian looked at Squad Leader Zhou. His winged hat was gone, his hair was untied, and his robe was torn into pieces and fluttering in the air. It was like the tassels of a flying goddess. His face was covered in bloody scars. The one on the bridge of his nose was especially deep. Fresh blood had already formed a scar.

Ye Xiaotian was both shocked and angry. He asked, "Squad Leader Zhou, you … were you beaten by Xu Lin?"

Dejected, Squad Leader Zhou said, "Master Warden, Xu Lin isn't home. I wanted to ask where he went, but his sister started cursing and swearing. Her mouth was full of obscenities. I was impatient and argued with her, but in the end … "

Ye Xiaotian was enraged. "A woman beat you up like this? Does she know martial arts? "

Squad Leader Zhou shook his head and said, "She's a woman. I can't beat her, so …"

"Bullsh * t! You deserve to be beaten! "

Ye Xiaotian was furious. He pointed at Squad Leader Zhou's nose and scolded, "If you want to talk about elegance, you should know where you are and who you're dealing with! You can't beat any woman? Then you should just send a bunch of women to the battlefield! There was no distinction between men and women on the battlefield, but there was a distinction between men and women in the law? You're the county yamen's squad leader. Is it very honorable to be beaten by a woman? Don't you know you're carrying out official duties?! "

Squad Leader Zhou's face was full of shame. Ye Xiaotian said fiercely, "If you beat your wife because of a family matter, even I will look down on you! But when you're carrying out official duties, not only can you not enforce the law because the other party is a woman, but you're also beaten up like a bear. I will still look down on you! "

Squad Leader Zhou lowered his head and said honestly, "Yes, I will remember!"

Ye Xiaotian looked at the constables behind him and finally fixed his gaze on Ma Hui, who was smiling coldly. "So you're saying that you didn't catch Xu Lin?"

Ma Hui said, "Xu Lin isn't home, and we don't know where he went. How can we catch him?"

Ye Xiaotian said sternly, "If you can't catch him, then continue to catch him. The monk can run, but the temple can't. I don't believe that he won't go home. You, take a few men and wait near his house. As soon as he appears, immediately lock him up! "

Ma Hui looked at Ye Xiaotian in surprise and asked, "Milord, are you really going to capture him?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "That's right! I'll fight it out with him. I don't believe that a county's Warden can't deal with a ruffian! "

Ma Hui said, "Alright! I'll go! But don't regret it when he's caught! "

Ye Xiaotian said coldly, "I won't let you see me make a fool of myself!"

Ma Hui sneered and did not say anything. Ye Xiaotian looked at Squad Leader Zhou's disheveled appearance and worriedly instructed the group of weak and incompetent constables, "When you arrest people, you only need to distinguish between those who should be arrested and those who shouldn't be arrested. For those who should be arrested, whether they're obstructed by women, children, or the elderly, whether they're throwing a tantrum or pretending to be on the verge of death, do whatever you need to do!"

The constables weakly replied, "Yes, sir!"

After the constables left with Ma Hui, Ye Xiaotian looked at Squad Leader Zhou again and said, "Alright, quickly go home and find a doctor to apply some ointment on your wounds. Don't ruin your appearance. I'll grant you three days of leave to rest at home." Squad Leader Zhou reluctantly agreed and turned around to leave.

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and went to the main hall to find the Guo Family members who were still waiting there. He told them that Xu Lin had escaped after killing Xu Lin, but he did not expect him to go far. He had already arranged for his men to arrest him. He also told the Guo Family to temporarily keep the dead man in the room and wait for further news.

The Guo Family did not expect the county government to support them, but they had no choice but to place their hopes on the government. Now that they saw Ye Xiaotian's sincerity in helping them solve the case, they were naturally grateful and thanked him profusely.

Ye Xiaotian stood at the entrance of the main hall and stared blankly for a while. He felt that in the entire Gourd County, it seemed like he, the fake official, was the one who was really doing the work. Those real officials were all muddle-headed and muddle-headed. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

At this time, Magistrate Hua came back with his brother-in-law. Magistrate Hua turned to Su Xuntian and said, "Miss Zhan said that she cured you of the venom, but she didn't want to cure Ye Xiaotian. When you see Ye Xiaotian, just say that the venom is not cured yet, so that he won't bother Miss Zhan again."

Su Xuntian nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, he thought of something and said with a shy face, "Brother-in-law, that girl Ye Xiaotian, I … I quite like her. Brother-in-law, you see, I still haven't married yet, and I don't have anyone by my side who knows me well …"

Magistrate Hua thought to himself, In order to cover up the real cause of Ai Dian Shi's death, the day Ye Xiaotian dies will be the day Miss Shuiwu dies. You want her to be your wife, but I don't want to hold the funeral for my brother-in-law's wife so soon.

Magistrate Hua hummed and hummed, but it was unclear whether he agreed or not. When he raised his head and saw Ye Xiaotian standing at the entrance of the main hall, Magistrate Hua immediately coughed. Su Xuntian looked up and immediately put on a crying face. The two of them walked towards Ye Xiaotian …
