Chapter 58: When you are in the Jianghu, you will inevitably be bullied

Inside the pavilion.

Jiang Ruo crossed her legs and drank tea comfortably. "Hey! What are you two thinking about?"

Two guys will do!

It's been tied here for so long and it won't let go.

Quite ambitious!

Alas, it’s a pity that I took the wrong road.

Why would a strong man like him choose to be a bandit when there are so many other jobs to do?

By the way, collusion between officials and bandits requires some physical evidence. If you want to bring down that corrupt official Chu Wenqian, you have to use the property stolen by the bandits as evidence.

Her dowry also had to be put back, after all, she was also a victim.

Of course, your dowry is still yours.

I can’t let my grandparents down.

Just use the blood ganoderma and ginseng in the space as a return gift!

Once the task is completed, the owners will be allowed to claim back their stolen property.

As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.

Although Jiang Ruo loves money, she also knows what she can and cannot ask for.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo felt that his vision had reached a new height.

Jiang Ruo tucked a strand of hair on her cheek behind her ear and straightened her back unconsciously.

The two bald village chiefs looked at the smile on Jiang Ruo's lips, looked at each other, and complained in their hearts: Oh my god, why did this evil star save them?

They would have been happy when they woke up.

After all, he was rescued from the cell and his life was temporarily saved.

Who would have thought that it was this cunning woman who arranged for someone to rescue him.

They knew with their toes that this woman saving them was not a good thing.

"snort!"

The scarred man looked at the smug Jiang Ruo, and was so angry that he stiffened his neck and snorted coldly.

Looking back now, all their good luck has gone since they met this woman.

She is...doing very well.

Nangong Yi looked at the unconvinced man with the scar, stood up and kicked him while cursing.

You've fallen into my hands, yet you still dare to be so arrogant.

Where is your "80-jin machete"?

Let’s have a duel with me!

I'm not afraid of you at all.

Jiang Ruo looked at the scarred man's rebellious appearance and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Hehe~

When you are in the world, you will inevitably be bullied.

You have to learn to accept reality.

Back then, I took advantage of the "reputation" of your "80-jin machete" to stir up trouble everywhere.

This person was suddenly suppressed and had no power to fight back. He must be feeling so frustrated!

The bald village chief thought to himself that it was not a good idea to keep confronting each other like this.

They were "rescued", but what about the other brothers who were imprisoned in the cell?

Will that crooked official Chu Wenqian take action against them...

In an instant, a bad premonition lingered in the bald village chief's heart.

Just then, A Yu came running over hurriedly.

"Master, I just heard some news about them." A Yu stopped outside the pavilion and pointed at the two people tied to the pillars.

Nangong Yi looked at A Yu who was out of breath and said seriously, "Catch your breath first, then we can talk."

The bald village chief suddenly became anxious and said to A Yu with a red face: "My dear, is that bastard official going to take action against my brothers?"

Ah Yu took a deep breath, bared his teeth and nodded, "Yes, the dog official said that if you don't come out for a day, he will kill a bandit at Caishikou every day until you surrender voluntarily..."

Haha~ Dogs bite dogs, both get a mouth full of fur.

Upon hearing this, the two bald village chiefs spat in hatred and cursed, "You dog official, if you are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. I will fight you to the death."

As long as the corrupt official is proven guilty of colluding with the bandits, he will be exiled with them. Then... it won't be too late to deal with him severely.

This result is basically the same as Jiang Ruo expected.

When Chu Wenqian is desperate, he might use the bandits in prison to threaten these two people.

However, she didn't expect that Chu Wenqian would be... so anxious.

Inside the government office.

Chu Wenqian tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers.

He wondered in his heart who had done what happened last night?

Dare to break into the government office and rob the prison at night.

You are so brave!

He has been in Shengzhou for many years, and this is the first time such a thing has happened.

The thieves are too rampant and are even more hateful than these bandits.

Could it be that someone wants to bring him down?

The former prefect, Lord Yun?

No way!

He is now just a small county magistrate of the seventh rank, and his hands should not be so long.

Chu Wenqian fell into memories...

It was because Lord Yun was too honest in his official duties that he was transferred to be a county magistrate.

He came here to be the prefect, but he came with a purpose.

Shengzhou is rich and far away from the capital, so it is not easy for the higher-ups to notice what you do.

Of course, all of this is for the purpose of inheriting the throne as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future.

He was storing food and silver for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...in preparation for emergencies.

In the future, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sits on the throne, will he still treat him unfairly?

Master Xue dried the portraits of bandits he had just drawn, and glanced calmly at Chu Wenqian, whose brow was full of calculation.

Sigh! I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling.

The notice posted this morning had no deterrent effect.

If the bandit leader really doesn't care about the lives of his brothers, there's no point in sticking to him.

This wanted order is different. It offers a large reward to encourage the people to assist in the search.

This is the only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nervously presented several paintings with wanted posters on them to Chu Wenqian.

"Sir, please be patient. Just post these wanted posters in the streets and alleys, and the people will do their best to hunt them down for the reward."

Chu Wenqian took a look at the wanted poster and nodded with a grim face.

After receiving the order, Master Xue waved to the yamen runners.

"Post these wanted posters at important intersections to make them more visible. Anyone who can find them will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver."

The two yamen runners' eyes lit up when they heard this.

Two hundred taels of silver reward?

Why not just let them look for it? Why bother with all this effort?

They took a few portraits and said businesslike, "I understand!"

After watching the bailiff leave, Master Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, I have to find a way to give advice to the adults!

On the street.

As soon as the wanted poster was posted, people gathered around.

The bailiffs spoke coldly about the content and the reward amount, then left in a hurry.

The people have mixed opinions on this.

The reward is very tempting, but the other party is a vicious bandit leader!

I was afraid that I would be assassinated by bandits before I could get the silver.

Let’s forget about it. As an ordinary citizen, I can just watch the fun.

Qin Zhen and his companions, disguised as ordinary people, looked at the wanted poster and raised their eyebrows.

This...was done by Jiang Ruo!

There's another good show...uh, my trip will be delayed for another two days.

After what they had experienced during this period of time, Qin Zhen and his companions had already secretly given up.

No matter what, as long as we can arrive in Jizhou safely.

Any more... they dared not think about it.

According to the current situation, the prefect may lose his position.

These "escort" officials, hurry up and hide!
