Chapter 47 Punishment

Xie Anci felt dizzy for a while, and the whole person was well protected in someone's arms.

"Godfather, are you okay?" Xie You felt around Xie Anci's body, and Xie Anci waved his hand away.

"Nothing, why are you here?" Xie Anci didn't expect Xie You to follow him all the way, and followed him here.

"Let's talk about this later when we go out." Xie You looked at the girl standing on the table with caution.

"Oh? Another one?" The girl laughed softly, "Forget it, it's just like a fly that disturbs people, let's forget it this time."

"Regent, see you later." The girl bowed slightly and turned into a psylocke and disappeared on the spot.

Xie Anci frowned and looked at the place where the girl disappeared. The two of them might not be able to catch up.

The girl seemed to be very familiar with him?

Xie Anci did not remember such a person.

"Mmmm..." The sound of the girls struggling brought Xie Anci back to his senses.

"Help them untie the ropes first." Xie Anci instructed Xie You.

Xie You stepped forward to untie the ropes for the girls and took off the cloth strips.

When they saw the scene in front of them, they were so scared that they fell to the ground.

"This..."

"Isn't that Xiaoxiu from the next village?"

"And that one, a girl from our village!"

"..."

They looked at the lifeless girl covered in blood with fear in their eyes.

"Is there anyone you know here?" Xie Anci asked coldly.

The women nodded, "Yes."

Xie Anci understood. It seemed that the missing women were indeed sold here to make medicine for the girl.

It seemed that they had to investigate the man just now. Aolong Country would never allow such people who endanger the safety of the people to be here.

The women looked at each other and stood there at a loss.

"Thank you... Regent." The leading woman paused and saluted.

They didn't expect that the handsome man in front of them was actually the Regent. The highest official they had seen was the county magistrate.

For a moment, they were both afraid and grateful, not knowing what to do.

"No need to be polite, let's go out first." Xie Anci said as he walked in front, letting Xie You follow behind and escort the kidnapped women.

Before leaving, Xie Anci set the underground palace on fire. Seeing the blazing fire, Xie Anci felt extremely sorry, and at the same time vowed in his heart to avenge the women who had passed away.

When they returned to the mountain stronghold by boat, they saw the bandits being tied up by the officers and soldiers, and they were all hanging their heads in grief.

Cao Da was wearing shackles. When he saw Xie Anci, his eyes lit up, and he shouted anxiously: "Wife, run! I was caught by the officers and soldiers."

Xie Anci: "..."

Everyone present: "..."

Xie You and Gu Lingyu kicked Cao Da to the ground with one foot each.

"What are you shouting about? Do you know who he is?" Gu Lingyu had a dark face, and his feet were still on the wooden board that bound Cao Da.

"He is my adoptive father and the current Regent. If you keep shouting, I will cut off your tongue." Xie You warned fiercely.

Cao Da: "Huh!?"

His brain was already confused. The Regent was a beauty, and they tied up the Regent?

It's over...

Cao Da was like a deceased parent, kneeling on the ground in a daze.

"Okay, his brain is not working well." Xie Anci cleared his throat and pulled the two apart.

"Are you okay? I searched the entire village but couldn't find any trace of you. Where did you come from? And what about those women?" Gu Lingyu asked a series of questions.

Xie Anci told Gu Lingyu everything he had encountered. Gu Lingyu frowned as he listened. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He didn't know much about the girl Xie Anci mentioned, and he had never heard of such a strange thing.

"Forget it, let's deal with this place first, and send a few people to escort these girls back." Xie Anci glanced at Xie You, as there was still one person he hadn't punished yet.

Gu Lingyu nodded, and sent a few officers and soldiers to escort them back, while he was busy clearing out the bandits.

"Come with me." Xie Anci called out to Xie You, who looked guilty.

Xie You had no choice but to follow Xie Anci down the mountain. Zuo Sikong had been guarding at the foot of the mountain with his men, and behind him stood the county magistrate, who kept wiping his cold sweat.

"Prince Regent! Master Xie, you are finally back!" Zuo Sikong excitedly greeted Xie Anci when he saw him.

"Yeah." Xie Anci's expression was indifferent.

The county magistrate was stunned when he saw the man in front of him who was younger than himself and had a very handsome face.

Is this man the Regent?

"Why don't you salute the Regent?" Zuo Sikong kicked the county magistrate fiercely, and it can be seen that this kick was somewhat filled with personal grudges.

"Regent... Regent... Meet the Regent..." The county magistrate trembled and didn't finish a sentence.

"Who is this man?" Xie Anci asked.

"Reply, Regent, I am the local county magistrate." The county magistrate wiped his face, and the flesh on his face trembled.

Hearing this, Xie Anci frowned, "You are the county magistrate."

"Yes, yes, it's me." The county magistrate smiled apologetically, his official uniform soaked with cold sweat, and the cool breeze blew past, and his fat body couldn't help but tremble.

Xie Anci snorted coldly: "You are really a 'competent' county magistrate! Such a terrible thing happened in your jurisdiction, and you didn't know anything about it?"

The county magistrate was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a "thump": "Prince Regent, please spare my life... I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

"Know your fault? Is it enough to know your fault?" Xie Anci shouted angrily, "If I hadn't happened to see him today, I don't know how many innocent women would have suffered. What crime should you, a mediocre official, be punished for?"

The county magistrate also knew that he could not escape the disaster of imprisonment for his crime, and he kept kowtowing: "Prince Regent, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Xie Anci looked at Zuo Sikong: "Take him away and interrogate him strictly. After that, I and General Gu will report this matter to the emperor."

"Yes!" Zuo Sikong replied, and then had the county magistrate dragged away.

"Prince Regent, you have suffered a lot, go back to the post station and rest." Zuo Sikong smiled flatteringly and led Xie Anci to the post station.

Xie Anci waved his hand to let Zuo Sikong leave, turned his head and looked at Xie You: "Do you know your crime?"

Xie You knelt down with a "thump", raised his head, and his face was full of grievances: "Adoptive father, I know I was wrong, please punish me."

Xie You's eyes flashed, he really couldn't leave his adoptive father, but he didn't regret what he did to his adoptive father last time.

He said this now just to let Xie Anci calm down, but in fact he would dare to do it next time.

"Punishment?" Xie Anci sneered, sitting on the chair and looking down at him.

The slender legs were crossed, and a pair of black boots embroidered with gold silk cloud patterns appeared in front of Xie You.

Xie Anci stretched out his toes and stepped hard on Xie You's lower body. Xie You groaned in pain and bit his lips to prevent himself from crying out in pain.

"Godfather..." Xie You took a breath and raised his eyes slightly to look at Xie Anci who was sitting above him.
