Chapter 59: The damage is minor, but the insult is strong
The news of the wanted order spread instantly throughout the alleys of Shengzhou City.
An Er took off a wanted poster and took it back secretly.
The two bald village chiefs who had been untied looked at the wanted poster in front of them, snatched it away in anger and tore it to pieces.
It's both a threat and a wanted person.
You dog official, you're going too far.
Jiang Ruo looked at the two people who were gritting their teeth in hatred and repeated his plan.
"According to the laws of the Dayan Dynasty, you are very likely to be exiled to a bitter and cold land..."
"Although life in this bitter cold land is tough,...at least your lives are saved!"
Hehe~
Not necessarily!
.......
The two were not arrogant this time, but listened quietly to Jiang Ruo's speech.
After a long silence, the bald village chief sighed slightly.
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ruo and said in a deep voice, "Okay, we two brothers will listen to you. Tomorrow we will go to Caishikou to expose the corrupt officials who are colluding with us... to make money."
"We also know that Chu Wenqian secretly instigated local tyrants to oppress merchants and civilians in Shengzhou City."
Exile is exile, no big deal.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
With a dog official by my side, what is there to be afraid of!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo widened her eyes in disbelief.
What?
And...the local tyrant!
Oh my god!
I really didn’t expect this!
Chu Wenqian is actually still doing such things.
Now it seems that he really deserves to be punished.
When Nangong Yi heard this, he suddenly remembered the group of bullies who would go to the store every now and then to harass them.
It turns out that they are in cahoots with the dog officials.
No wonder he is always so fearless, it turns out he has someone to back him up!
In the past, when the former prefect, Lord Yun, was in office here, there were no such troubles.
Lord Yun is truly a good official who serves the people.
Unfortunately, because of his "poor political performance", he was transferred to be a county magistrate.
Poor political performance?
It’s because some people didn’t get any benefits!
Seeing that the two had compromised, Jiang Ruo didn't say anything more.
"You two will stay here temporarily. Don't try to escape. Your every move is under my control. Do you understand?"
"Understood! We won't run, humph!"
Having made up their minds, the two men turned their heads to one side, still with an expression of "I refuse to accept".
Jiang Ruo waved to An and took the two of them to a secluded courtyard.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Ruo had someone add some muscle softening powder to their dinner.
After the two scarred men were taken away, Nangong Yi recounted what he had just thought about...
At the end of his speech, Nangong Yi shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, Lord Yun is truly an honest and caring official. What a pity!"
Jiang Ruo blinked her eyes. How could this really happen?
This Xiao Junze is a very capable emperor!
The work is too sloppy.
Well, if the people of Shengzhou jointly petitioned the court, requesting that Lord Yun return to his post...
I should be able to call it back.
However, this matter must be made a big deal. Only when it is made a big deal will the court take it seriously.
Tomorrow...is a good opportunity.
Okay!
Try it.
Jiang Ruo told Nangong Yi her inner thoughts in detail...
The more Nangong Yi listened, the brighter his eyes became.
This plan works!
He said excitedly, "Ruoruo, leave these trivial matters to your uncle. Just focus on the vegetable market tomorrow morning."
Looking at Jiang Ruo's departing back, Nangong Yi patted his chest and promised that he would get the matter done and would definitely unite the people of Shengzhou.
Midnight.
Jiang Ruo quietly came to the secret room of the study in the backyard of the government office.
She picked out all the stolen property that the bandits had told her they had robbed over the years and put them all into the secret room.
Haha, with these evidences, let’s see how Chu Wenqian denies it.
Anything else? Forget it.
I ran back and forth twice, it can’t be in vain!
Jiang Ruo walked out of the study with a bent waist, then jumped onto the roof by sticking to the wall.
She lay on the roof, looking at the two groups of guards patrolling back and forth with a wicked smile.
Everyone, be alert!
If you lose anything again, I will kill you.
Just then, a lighted room suddenly opened.
Chu Wenqian?
It’s the middle of the night and I haven’t slept yet!
Alas, is it easy to be a bad official?
Chu Wenqian stood in the backyard with his clothes draped over his body, staring gloomily at the patrolling guards...
Let me see who among you dares to be lazy.
Jiang Ruo looked at Chu Wenqian who was unable to sleep, and quietly lifted a tile.
She aimed at Chu Wenqian's location and threw it hard...
"Clang..."!
The sound of breaking tiles was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Chu Wenqian and the patrol guards were stunned for a moment by the sudden sound.
Jiang Ruo looked at their stunned expressions and stood up.
Come, challenge the bottom line of this dog official.
So, she pinched her nose and laughed wildly at them: "Hahahaha... I'm here, come and catch me!"
Hehe! It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
Chu Wenqian: “......?”
Are thieves so rampant nowadays?
This is a blatant act of provocation!
Chu Wenqian's chest heaved with anger, and a surge of rage rushed to his forehead.
With trembling hands, he pointed at the "man" in black on the roof and shouted, "Come here, whoever captures this thief for me will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver!"
"Yes, sir!"
Several patrol guards quickly ran towards the house where Jiang Ruo was...
Before they could get close to the house, the person on the roof had already flown away using his martial arts skills.
A dozen guards: “…….?”
Uh, who is this hero?
Can they take it down with their mediocre skills?
But...five hundred taels of silver!
One of the guards knew what was about to happen, and pretended to be calm as he shouted to his companions, "Chase!"
No matter what, let's leave this troubled place first.
In a flash, Chu Wenqian was the only one left in the yard.
He watched the thieves disappear onto the rooftop, his anger uncontrollable. He could not help but roar at the guards' backs, "A bunch of trash!"
After Jiang Ruo ran all the way back to Nangong Mansion, she fell into a sound sleep.
After she fell asleep, Xiao Chengjin quietly opened his eyes in the dark.
He glanced sideways at the face so close to him and curled his lips.
I've been busy all day and didn't even chat with him when I got home.
Alas, I didn’t feel any body pain even though I couldn’t move before.
Now, I always want to take a walk.
Is it easy for him to pretend to be dead?
Also, I was badly tortured by that brother and sister during the day.
They pulled my ears and pinched my neck.
The key is that they dare not complain even when they are bullied.
Woohoo! What a sad day.
