Chapter 449: Revenge

Xuan Yi and Xuan Qi subconsciously moved closer to Lu Wanyin to protect her.

If Jia Yan suddenly picked up the dagger and attacked someone at this moment...

As it turned out, they overestimated Jia Yan's courage.

He picked up the dagger tremblingly and walked straight towards the county magistrate.

The court was so big, with countless bailiffs and thugs, but under Lu Wanyin's watch, no one dared to stop them.

The county magistrate was shocked: "Jia Yan, are you going to kill your father?"

He wanted to retreat.

Unfortunately, the people behind him didn't dare to let him leave.

Like Jia Yan, the reputation of Lu Wanyin and the other two, as well as Mo Yu's intimidation, made them unable to muster the courage to resist.

Jia Yan's eyes were red as he stepped forward: "Dad, don't you hope that your son will bring honor to our family in the future?

As long as you die, I can become the next Hou Yuanji, which will bring honor to our family."

Hou Yuanji:

I felt insulted.

The county magistrate was anxious. He took out a paper bag from under the table, covered his mouth and nose with it, and raised it in a circle: "If you don't want me to live a good life, then die together."

The people around quickly dispersed.

The county magistrate took the opportunity to run behind the crowd.

"Black Jade!"

At Lu Wanyin's command, the tip of the black jade's slender tail rolled towards the fleeing county magistrate and easily pulled him over.

But the county magistrate is already very old, and he can't stand such a scroll from Mo Yu.

He felt like all his bones were broken.

Before Mo Yu could send him to Lu Wanyin, the county magistrate rolled his eyes and fainted.

Jia Yan's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward with the dagger in his hand: "Empress, I will kill him right now!"

Hou Yuanji got anxious and kicked the man out: "Why are you killing me when I haven't cleared my name yet?"

Although his kung fu was not that good, it was tempered by the spiritual spring water.

That brute force alone was enough for Jia Yan to handle.

He felt like he was hit by the hammer and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Hou Yuanji looked at Lu Wanyin awkwardly: "Master."

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Lu Wanyin waved her hand generously: "Take him away and interrogate him within three days, otherwise, this will be considered your fault."

Hou Yuanji was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."

Everyone in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.

As the biggest suspect, Hou Yuanji should normally avoid suspicion.

The queen actually handed the matter over to him for investigation.

The emperor has no opinion yet.

To be so partial to him!

Lu Wanyin looked down at Jia Yan and said, "There must be quite a few people imprisoned in this government dungeon."

Jia Yan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, but he didn't dare to refuse and could only nod.

Lu Wanyin nodded and gestured to the lucky ones on the other side who were not swept by the black jade tail: "Xuan Qi, release everyone in the prison and replace them with these."

Everyone in the room knew what would happen if their actions were discovered.

But no one dared to run.

That's deterrence.

Jia Yan finally caught his breath and crawled to Lu Wanyin's side: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I belong to you now, you two must save me."

He also didn't know when the poison would take effect.

He doesn't care whether others live or die, but he doesn't want to die anyway.

Hou Yuanji immediately became nervous.

This bastard still wants his position.

Lu Wanyin glanced at Jia Yan casually: "You are sincere."

Jia Yan's eyes lit up.

Hou Yuanji held the knife and began to hesitate.

Should he pretend to slip and chop this guy to death?

Anyway, he still has a gold medal of immunity, so he should be able to use it.

Before he could make up his mind to do anything dirty, Lu Wanyin sneered, "To be as shameless as you are, you're quite talented.

It's a pity that you are too shameless and have the same characteristics as me. I already have someone with the same personality.

It works very well and I have no plans to change it for the time being.”

Hou Yuanji finally let go of his worries.

Very good, his position seems stable.

He walked up to Lu Wanyin with his head held high and his chest puffed out: "Master, the county magistrate must hold on to his breath."

If it were him, he would just punish him severely and find out who the boss is, and then kill him.

Lu Wanyin pondered for a moment and exhaled: "Keep him, interrogate him at night, and hand him over to the people here during the day."

She took out a bag of ginseng slices from the space and said, "Don't save this stuff. Save his life well and don't let the people kill him.

You only need to worry about your innocence. As for the rest... the people here know better than anyone else what his crimes are.

Oh, and let’s send this kid over too. It’ll definitely be a lively scene with this father and son together.”

"Okay, okay, Master, don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

Hou Yuanji almost burst out laughing.

Just what he wanted.

This guy also wants to compete with him for the position of lackey

Hou Yuanji said in high spirits: "Come here, take these two away and put them in solitary confinement. Also, issue a notice that at noon tomorrow at the gate of the yamen, all citizens who have grudges must seek revenge."

Xie Jingci was filled with murderous intent: "I'll do it."

It had been a long time since he met anyone who dared to covet his wife.

"Okay, okay."

Lu Wanyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He pointed at the wounded who were swept by the black jade tail and fell to the ground groaning: "Otherwise, you can kill a few first to vent your anger."

If you hit ten of this group of people with a brick, nine and a half of them will deserve to die.

"No."

Xie Jingci grabbed her hand and said, "Go and rescue the people who were released from prison first."

Lu Wanyin suddenly realized: "Yes, I actually forgot about this."

When they came here yesterday, they met several civilians.

They were also captured.

I hope that after what they did yesterday, these corrupt officials will not have the energy to harm the people.

Xuan Qi had just put some people in the cell when Xuan Yi went to take others away.

The two of them carefully confirmed several times so as not to confuse the person they released with the person they wanted to detain.

Xuan Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's really inconvenient with fewer people. I don't know what the current situation of Xuan Wu and the others is like."

Xuan Yi didn't say much to him: "I've taken these people away. The master is still waiting."

Xuan Qi wanted to follow, but he hesitated after looking at the huge crowd. "Wait, can you ask the master for instructions? There are so many people, there's no way they can fit in the cell."

How big is the dungeon of a small county government office?

Xuan Yi slapped his hand away: "Xuan Qi, have you been too busy?

Even for this little thing, I have to trouble you, Master.

Even if you locked these people up in the yard, no one would dare to run away. Go away, get out of the way."

As the boss of the Xuan guards, Xuan Yi was very clear when he lectured.

Watching him lead his men away, Xuan Qi slapped his head and said, "There seems to be nothing wrong with what you said.

Oh, and Hou Yuanji still has a snake, let me borrow it for a bit."

As Lu Wanyin expected, the few civilians who were arrested yesterday were fine before they were tortured.

But those who were arrested before looked really miserable in comparison.
