Those who were dressed in black to act cool in broad daylight were just a bunch of rabble. After being beaten up by Old Fang and the others, they obediently squatted in a row, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Li Xuan opened the curtain and took a look, then lost interest. These small matters could be handled by the guards.
When Fang walked in front of those people, the person at the front immediately shivered and said with a trembling voice, "This has nothing to do with us. We were all paid to do this. Someone told us to do this!"
"Who ordered you to do this?" Fang clenched his fist and looked at him.
As soon as his voice fell, the guard leader walked out of the forest with a young man with a swollen face.
"It's him!" The man in black was frightened by Fang's threatening action. He immediately pointed at the young man and said, "He told us to force the formula of Ruyi Dew!"
The situation was stronger than the person. If he didn't tell the truth, he was afraid that he would taste the taste of this big man's fist again. He didn't hesitate to give up the mastermind.
The young man's whole face was swollen. It took a while for Fang to find a familiar feeling.
"So it's you!"
It was this guy who brought two people to the shop to force them to buy the formula of Ruyi Dew. Fang had a deep impression of him.
"Young Master, these people are after the formula of Ruyi Dew." The guard leader threw the young man who had already fainted on the ground and stood in front of the carriage and said.
"Leave a few people to deal with it. If there's nothing else, go back to the city." A corner of the curtain was lifted, and Li Xuan's voice came out.
There were still a lot of unanswered questions. He didn't want to waste any more time here.
"Yes!"
The leader of the guards responded and then whispered a few words to the three guards. The carriage then set off, leaving the three guards behind to deal with this matter. Fang looked at the carriage with a puzzled expression, then turned his head to look at the guy who had yet to determine a winner. He couldn't help but feel astonished.
Son-in-law had never mentioned what these people were doing, and Fang had never taken the initiative to ask either. He only knew that these people wanted to cooperate with them on Ruyi Lu's business. At this moment, he finally realized that this gigolo friend of his son-in-law did not seem to be an ordinary person …
"Go!"
Watching the carriage leave, the three guards drew out their swords and pointed at the ruffians who had already taken off their night clothes.
Although there were only the three of them, the ruffians did not dare to act rashly or have any thoughts of resisting.
After what happened just now, they realized that they had provoked someone they shouldn't have. If they behaved themselves, they might be able to avoid some physical pain.
Moreover, although there were only three of them, each of them had extraordinary skills. If they were to really fight, they would be the ones to suffer.
Moreover, the other party was holding a sword in their hands …
Under the command of one of the guards, one of them carried the young man on his back and followed the rest of the people towards the prefectural city dejectedly.
…
Qing 'an Prefectural City, Anxi Prefectural Government.
County Magistrate Liu sat on a wooden armchair at the back of the hall while enjoying the massage from the beautiful concubine behind him. He was very satisfied.
Ever since that unfilial son of his had been confined for half a month, he had become much more well-behaved. These days, he had been well-behaved and had not caused any trouble, which made County Magistrate Liu less worried.
"Lord Liu, bad news! Bad news! "
Before he finished tasting his tea, the beautiful concubine's hand had already moved from his shoulder to somewhere else. County Magistrate Liu squinted his eyes and the expression on his face became even more enjoyable. At this moment, a bailiff in plain clothes suddenly barged in and said with a panicked expression.
The beautiful concubine's hand moved away in a hurry. County Magistrate Liu, who was enjoying the massage with his eyes squinted, was also startled. The hand holding the teacup trembled, and half of the tea spilled onto the hem of his clothes. Those who did not know would probably think that there was something wrong with him …
"Bastard!" County Magistrate Liu put down the teacup and glared at the bailiff. He said loudly, "How many times have I told you to knock on the door before coming in? Are your ears just for decoration?!"
County Magistrate Liu was in the prime of his life. Sometimes, when he was in the mood, it was common for him to close the door and make love with the beautiful concubine here. If someone barged in like this in a panic every time, perhaps after a few times, before he could resign, his little brother would have to live in seclusion.
Therefore, he had long set the rule of knocking on the door before entering.
"I'm sorry, Lord Liu. It's my fault!"
At this time, the runner secretly complained in his heart. The matter was urgent, and he actually forgot the county magistrate's rule. He hurriedly retreated and calmed down. Then, he knocked on the door and said, "Lord Liu, I have something important to report!"
"Come in!"
After all, it was just a small bailiff. County Magistrate Liu did not care about him, but his voice still contained anger.
"What's the matter? Say it." County Magistrate Liu picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea, and said lightly.
These guys, who had never seen the world, usually made a fuss about little things, as if the sky was going to fall. This was the county government. Would anyone rebel?
The bailiff bowed respectfully and said unhurriedly, "Lord Liu, several people just said that they came from Prince Ning's Mansion. They took many people to the county government and even arrested the County Lieutenant."
"Puff!"
County Magistrate Liu spat out the tea before he swallowed it. The teacup fell from his hand, and the hem of his clothes was completely wet by the tea. He suddenly stood up from the chair and asked loudly, "What did you just say?"
The bailiff was also shocked and hurriedly repeated, "People from Prince Ning's Mansion came and arrested the County Lieutenant. They are waiting for you in the front hall!"
"Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?!"
County Magistrate Liu showed anger on his face. He kicked the bailiff to the ground and hurriedly ran out without even changing his official uniform.
He did not dare to let the people from Prince Ning's Mansion wait for him!
Speaking of which, he was quite aggrieved as a county magistrate. In other counties, the county magistrate was a big shot who could cover the sky with one hand. However, in Anxi County, in Qing 'an Prefecture, the number of people who could crush him to death could not be counted with two hands. Prince Ning's Mansion was the biggest monster that he could not afford to offend …
As the blood brother of the current emperor, he was deeply trusted by the emperor and held great power. He had to be careful even if he was just a steward in the mansion …
The bailiff struggled to get up from the ground. He touched his chest and said in a low voice with great grievance, "Didn't you ask me to knock before coming in …"
County Magistrate Liu hurriedly ran from the back hall to the front hall. As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw more than ten people squatting on the ground. The one at the innermost with a knife against his neck was County Lieutenant Zhou, who was still in a daze!
County Magistrate Liu's heart sank at once when he looked at those men with sabers who wore stern expressions.
This time, he might really have pierced the sky …
