Chapter 214 Catch

The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted while speaking.

"I have been ordered to come and report the news."

Qian Wenyuan frowned and immediately felt something was wrong.

"Zhang, the County Magistrate? Is he crazy? Doesn't he know who the people in the Guanyin Temple are?"

"Sir, I also brought this."

The young man took out a golden hairpin from his bosom.

Qian Wenyuan took it and looked at it. The hairpin was exquisitely crafted and had small words engraved on it.

He recognized the handwriting as his daughter Yuanyuan's, and his heart immediately tightened.

"Yuanyuan!" he shouted loudly.

Qian Wenyuan's face darkened. He knew his daughter's personality well. Although Yuanyuan had a bit of a temper, she would never joke with human life.

"Someone come!"

He slammed the table and said without thinking, "Gather the troops immediately!"

"yes!"

Soon, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the governor's mansion, and hundreds of soldiers were ready to go.

Qian Wenyuan jumped on his horse and shouted to the crowd, "County Magistrate Zhang has dispatched troops without authorization to besiege the Guanyin Temple. This is absurd! Let's go and rescue them now!"

"Yes!" the soldiers answered in unison.

The team rushed towards the Guanyin Temple in a mighty manner.

On the other side, in the Guanyin Temple.

County Magistrate Zhang paced back and forth outside the temple, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

"Haven't you caught the man yet?" he yelled at his men.

"Your Excellency, the terrain inside the temple is complicated, and those people have hidden themselves." A constable answered tremblingly.

County Magistrate Zhang was so angry that he stamped his feet. He had thought the problem could be resolved quickly, but he didn't expect it to drag on until now.

Li the Captive walked up to him and whispered, "Sir, how about we retreat? If we continue like this..."

"withdraw?"

Magistrate Zhang glared at him, completely unwilling to agree, and even cursed, "How am I going to explain to my superiors if I withdraw?"

"But sir, it's not a good idea for us to keep surrounding them like this."

Magistrate Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Got it!"

He turned around and shouted to everyone, "Set fire to the mountain! I won't believe we can't burn them down!"

Constable Li was startled and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said something.

"Sir, this will hurt innocent people..."

"Shut up!"

County Magistrate Zhang slapped him in the face. "What do you mean innocent? These people are all accomplices of the gangsters!"

"Constable Lin, take your men to set the fire!" Magistrate Zhang said, pointing to the hillside.

"Yes!" Constable Lin answered excitedly. He had disliked Constable Li for a long time. This was a good opportunity and he must show himself well.

Feng Lan picked up Chen Ya's one-month-old baby and said to her daughter, "Ya'er, follow me. Don't get lost."

"I understand, Mom." Although Chen Ya was still in confinement after giving birth, she couldn't care less at this time.

Su Wenbin supported Chen Ya, and the family followed the large group towards the back mountain.

At this moment, a whoosh sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Be careful! There's an arrow!" the boss shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a rain of arrows fell from the sky.

Everyone scattered and the scene suddenly became a mess, extremely chaotic.

"ah!"

Chen Ya suddenly groaned. A feather arrow was stuck in her right arm, and blood was flowing out. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

"Yaer!" Feng Lan hurried forward.

"Mom, I'm fine."

Chen Ya gritted her teeth and shook her head, not wanting to make them worry, and said, "Where's the child? How is the child?"

Feng Lan hurriedly checked the baby in her arms and fortunately it was not injured.

"Wenbin, come here quickly!" Feng Lan shouted, her eyes showing anxiety.

Su Wenbin hurried over and was heartbroken to see his wife injured.

"Ya'er, I'll carry you!"

"Need not!"

Chen Ya shook her head and immediately refused, "How can you protect mother and child if you carry me on your back?"

She endured the pain and stuffed the child into Su Wenbin's arms. Her movements were very decisive and quick.

"Take care of the kids and leave me alone!"

"How can this be possible?" Su Wenbin stamped his feet anxiously, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Feng Lan looked at the situation and said decisively: "Wenbin, you carry Yaer on your back and I'll hold the child. Let's go together!"

Su Wenbin nodded, carefully carried Chen Ya on his back, and left quickly with great caution.

"Walk!"

Under the escort of the leader, the three of them followed the large group and continued to move to the back mountain.

Outside, Constable Li felt mixed emotions as he watched the wildfire grow increasingly fierce.

"Sir, is it really okay to go on like this?" He couldn't help but give another piece of advice, his heart in a knot.

County Magistrate Zhang sneered, without any fluctuation in his heart.

"Detective Li, why do I feel like you're talking so much today?"

Constable Lin fanned the flames: "Sir, I think Constable Li is guilty! Maybe he has already colluded with the bandits in the mountains!"

Constable Li was so angry that his face turned red, and his tone of voice was very direct. He spoke directly.

"Constable Lin, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Constable Lin smiled smugly, even his eyes brimming with arrogance. "Then why do you keep speaking for those gangsters?"

The more County Magistrate Zhang listened, the more he felt it made sense. His eyebrows curved slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Someone, arrest Constable Li!"

"Yes!" Several soldiers immediately surrounded him.

Constable Li never expected this result. He didn't know what to say. His sister was standing next to him.

"Sir, you are..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand. "I think you're the traitor! I'll use your blood as a sacrifice to the flag!"

Constable Li felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Magistrate Zhang was capable of doing what he said, so he immediately sat down with him, not knowing what to say.

Just as the soldiers were about to take action, several of Constable Li's confidants quietly approached and moved very quickly.

"Brother Li, let's go!" One of them whispered, saying the same thing.

Constable Li gritted his teeth and suddenly attacked with a few of his confidants, knocked down the surrounding soldiers, and then quickly retreated.

"Chase!"

County Magistrate Zhang was so angry that he jumped up and down, and quickly ordered, "Bring it back to me!"

"Brother, what should we do now?" asked one of the subordinates.

Constable Li was about to answer when he suddenly saw a group of people rushing towards him in the distance, their torches lighting up half the sky.

"That's..."

He took a closer look and recognized the leading flag, "It's the Governor!"

Constable Li's eyes lit up, and a plan came to his mind.

"Brothers, here's our chance!" he said to his men. "Let's go back now!"

"Go back? Brother, County Magistrate Zhang wants to kill us!"

"rest assured!"

Constable Li sneered, his eyes devoid of warmth. "It's his turn to be unlucky this time!"

County Magistrate Zhang was still directing the setting of the fire when he suddenly heard shouts and cries of killing behind him.

"Who is it?" He turned around quickly.

I saw Constable Li coming back with a group of people, and there was a large group of people following behind him.

"County Magistrate Zhang! Your time of death has come!" Constable Li shouted.

Only then did County Magistrate Zhang see clearly that the flag fluttering in the distance was the flag of the Governor's Office.

His face turned pale in an instant, and he looked completely bloodless, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Constable Li, you..."

"I what I?"

Constable Li sneered, his brows narrowed slightly. "County Magistrate Zhang used troops without authorization, besieged the Guanyin Temple, and even murdered an official appointed by the imperial court. This is your crime!"

As he was speaking, the governor Qian Wenyuan had already arrived on horseback.

"County Magistrate Zhang!"

Qian Wenyuan shouted angrily, and his tone was the same, "You are so bold!"

County Magistrate Zhang fell to his knees with a thud, his words stuck in his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Sir, I..."

"Shut up!"

Qian Wenyuan didn't bother to listen to his explanation and directly ordered, "Come here, arrest him for me!"

"yes!"
