Chapter 60 Sparing His Life

The next day.

People who were eager to eat melons gathered around the vegetable market early and chatted with each other.

"Do you think the bandit leader will come to rescue their companions?"

"This is hanging in the balance. I finally managed to escape, but can I come back again?"

"Tsk tsk! This brother is absolutely right!"

With mud on his face, A Yu mingled with the crowd, heard the gossip around him, and quietly joined in.

"According to reliable information, they are colluding with the officials and bandits, and they had already fallen out the night before. The prefect wants to kill them all!"

The people around covered their mouths with their hands, showing an incredible expression.

What? Collusion between officials and gangsters?

Is this actually happening?

Is this news they can hear?

Will he be silenced...

When they saw several yamen runners escorting a bandit towards them, they suddenly became as quiet as chickens.

We know nothing?

On the other side, Nangong Yi, who had mixed into the crowd, secretly nodded to the few people who had been arranged, and started to eat melon together.

Haha, his righteous spirit that had nowhere to go finally came in handy.

The sun is getting bigger.

Chu Wenqian came to Caishikou in a sedan chair.

Not only did a thief sneak into the government office last night to provoke me, but my eyelids have been twitching this morning...

There is always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

Oh, it must be because I didn’t sleep well.

Chu Wenqian was wearing official uniform. After getting off the sedan chair, he walked towards the table prepared by the yamen runners with a solemn face.

A small head popped out from the window of the private room in the teahouse diagonally opposite.

Jiang Ruo looked at Chu Wenqian, who was showing off his official power, and raised his eyebrows.

She turned her head and looked at the two people sitting there waiting for orders and said, "Hey! Get ready, both of you. Remember the lines I taught you this morning!"

The two scarred men: “…….?”

Huh, aunt, can you give us some peace and quiet for a while?

He has been nagging non-stop since early morning. It's so annoying!

Isn’t it just that the stolen goods are hidden in the secret room of the study?

Is the vase a secret room switch?

We have it etched in our minds.

Exile now!

I don't want to see this woman at all.

Last night, I was afraid that they would run away, so I put muscle softening powder in their dinner.

It's so abominable!

Jiang Ruo played with the Dragon Soul Sword in his hand, feeling very happy.

I didn’t expect that the late emperor was so reliable.

It is said that this sword is much more useful than the golden medal of immunity from death.

He can execute corrupt officials and powerful bullies without being held criminally responsible.

Haha, what did she say!

Staying with Xiao Chengjin, the "invisible boss", is definitely the wisest choice.

Well, it would be great if I could trick this Dragon Soul Sword into my hands.

Uh, forget it, just pretend to be cool for now.

Her small body cannot suppress the dragon soul energy in the sword.

Caishikou.

Wen Qian, who was sitting in front of the table, habitually patted the table with his hand.

Maybe I hit it too hard.

The next moment, he clenched his hands into fists in pain.

He spoke in his usual official tone, "Fellow villagers, these bandits have been committing crimes in Shengzhou for many years, and we have finally caught them all."

"What worries me is that, due to the jailer's negligence, a thief was able to sneak into the prison the night before and rescue the bandit leader..."

"After careful consideration, I have decided to kill their accomplices...to force them to reveal themselves."

Chu Wenqian looked around the crowd inconspicuously, trying to find the two disguised scarred men among them.

"As long as they don't show up, I will kill one bandit here every day until... they surrender voluntarily."

"Please rest assured, fellow villagers, I will handle this case of banditry impartially and bring justice to the people who were robbed!"

After Chu Wenqian finished speaking in a pretentious manner, he cursed in his heart: This boss is too heartless and ungrateful.

Do you really not take your brother's life seriously?

He whispered to Master Xue, "Master Xue, don't let go of anyone who behaves suspiciously, understand?"

Xue Shiye nodded repeatedly and winked at the yamen runners scattered around.

The bandit brother who was kneeling below with his hands tied behind his back glared viciously at Chu Wenqian who was sitting above.

He and his brothers discussed the matter of their boss being rescued.

What was rescued by the thieves?

I'm afraid this is not a deliberate act by the corrupt officials.

The purpose is to wipe out all these bandits so that they can get away with it completely.

Alas, the two bosses must have been assassinated by this corrupt official.

If the brother in prison who knew the truth hadn't revealed that the big boss was on good terms with the corrupt officials, they would have thought that the second in command was just bragging on the night of the group's annihilation...

After all this time, it turns out that the boss and the prefect are really in the same group, but they are now at odds with each other.

Officials and bandits are colluding!

No wonder that old lady insisted on not letting them break up.

According to her chivalrous personality, she wants to get rid of the evil for the people!

Forget it, they are brothers, let them die!

The bandit's younger brother struggled a few times with a ferocious look on his face, stiffening his neck and shouting, "You bastard officer, I curse you to die a miserable death!"

I'm going to die sooner or later, so I might as well die quickly.

Chu Wenqian's face darkened when he heard the bandit's curse.

Even though he has fallen to this point, he is still so arrogant.

He wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate the people and those with bad intentions.

The two bosses must be hiding somewhere observing what's going on here.

The sooner we force them out, the sooner we can return to the government office.

Chu Wenqian looked at the sun and said to the executioner who was waiting to carry out the execution: "It is three quarters past noon, execute!"

"Puff!" The ferocious executioner sprayed a mouthful of wine onto the machete.

Seeing this action, the timid people covered their eyes.

Damn it! Someone’s going to get chopped off.

If I cut it with the knife, would blood splatter three feet?

The executioner slowly raised his machete...

Chu Wenqian, Mr. Xue, and the yamen runners searched everywhere for the two of them...

Why hasn’t the bandit leader shown up yet?

The bandit kneeling on the ground looked up at the sky with resignation, and then slowly closed his eyes...

I hope that God will give him a good life in his next life because he rarely kills people.

At the moment when the machete fell, a voice came from not far away: "Spare his life..."

Chu Wenqian looked at the two figures that suddenly appeared, and a hint of success flashed in his eyes.

You are still a little naive to fight with me.

A little trick will make you lose your patience.

He raised his right hand and said in a businesslike tone, "Wait a minute!"

The executioner received Chu Wenqian's order and put down the machete.

The two bald village chiefs, unarmed, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

The bandit who was waiting to be chopped turned around excitedly after hearing the familiar voice...

It turns out that the boss and his friends were really rescued!

Oh, why come back?

Jiang Ruo, who was standing behind, winked at Nangong Yi, signaling them to wait and see what happens.

The people, fearing that they would be implicated, looked at this situation and quietly retreated.

Looking at the tense atmosphere, a fight is inevitable soon.

They just came to watch the fun and didn't want to lose their lives.

Slip away, slip away!
