Chapter 82



"Sir, you can't just arrest people without any evidence, right? You can't blame the Xiao family just because they went to your house and you happened to lose something, right?!"

"Yes! Even though we are just fugitives now, we can be bullied at will!"

Li Yang and Zhao Jinhai stepped forward and stood in front of the Xiao family. The Wang and Li families, who were on good terms with the Xiao family, also stood up to oppose the enemy.

Magistrate Tao sneered and waved to the dozens of officials behind him:

"Humph! Did you steal it and take it back for examination?!"

"Get out of the way! Anyone who obstructs the police from carrying out their investigation will be considered an accomplice! If you get out of the way again, we will take you away together!"

County Magistrate Tao had already fallen asleep with his beloved wife in his arms in the evening.

As a result, I don’t know which idiot set off fireworks outside the city in the middle of the night.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" continued for a long time, and he was so scared that he sat up.

Then he heard that the Long Yinwei masters had all left for some reason, while the Xiao family had all returned to the station.

He thought, this is a great opportunity!

Previously, he had heard from the Long Yinweis that if he killed the Xiao family, the emperor would give him a huge reward. Previously, he had to share the credit with the Long Yinweis, but now, as long as he killed the Xiao family, wouldn't he be able to enjoy all the rewards alone?!

Magistrate Tao was so excited that he lost all sleepiness and brought dozens of soldiers with him to arrest the Xiao family.

Seeing these soldiers dithering, he became even more impatient. He stepped forward and kicked the nearest soldiers, urging them to quickly escort the Xiao family back to the government office.

Seeing that these officials looked ferocious and were about to beat Su Qingning with long wooden sticks in their hands, Xiao Huaishuo hurriedly pulled her back a few steps.

Su Qingning could guess Tao Xianling's thoughts with her toes.

The official seal being lost is a pure nonsense. The purpose is to find a reason to trick them into the county government, then secretly kill them and silence them, and then ask the emperor for a reward.

Anyway, Su Qingning would follow him to seek death. So we can only let this dog county magistrate die.

She and Xiao Huaishuo looked at each other, and they both took a few steps back in tacit understanding. Su Qingning sneered and said:

"Sir, if your seal was stolen, it must be our fault. The territory of Daqian is so crowded that there are many thieves and robbers in Cile County alone. It must be stolen by some inmate."

"Stop talking nonsense! You are the only ones who have entered the county magistrate's mansion today. If it's you, who else could it be?!"

"What a bunch of idiots! What are you still standing there for? Take these people away quickly!!"

The officers dared not delay any longer and rushed towards the Xiao family.

Su Qingning, however, remained calm and said lightly:

"Really? Of course. If you say too much, you'll get embarrassed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Huaishuo secretly made a gesture, and a secret guard hidden behind Tao County Order immediately shot an arrow at his back.

"puff--"

In almost an instant, Tao Xianling heard a sharp sound breaking through the air, and then he felt a pain in his heart and completely lost consciousness.

"My lord! My lord, what's wrong with you?!"

The officers were so frightened that they forgot what they were doing and rushed to check on Magistrate Tao's injuries.

Su Qingning also showed his excellent acting skills at this time. He immediately looked terrified and covered his chest and shouted:

"Ah! It's the famous thief 'Invisible Hand'! I just saw him! He was the one who killed County Magistrate Tao!"

"Officials, hurry up and chase him! The court has already issued a notice that the reward for catching the 'Invisible Hand' is 1,000 taels of silver! I saw him heading east!"

She used her mind to activate her wind ability, causing the trees in the east to rustle. It really looked like someone was escaping that way.

These small officials understood why the county magistrate always targeted the Xiao family. Now that they heard that the "Invisible Hand" had been discovered, it seemed as if they saw a thousand taels of silver waving to them.

They immediately discussed with each other and sent two people to carry the county commander's body back, while the rest ran to the east to catch the 'Invisible Hand'.

The station became quiet in an instant. Thinking that no one would come to cause trouble later in the evening, everyone prepared to wash up and go to bed.

Su Qingning was unwilling to let the dog county magistrate go. He and Xiao Huaishuo went to plunder all the money that Tao County Magistrate had embezzled from the people over the years and put it into the space.

I returned to the station, took a hot bath, and fell asleep hugging Sister Su's exclusive handsome pillow.

The next day, after the Xiao family had a hearty breakfast, they packed up and prepared to set out.

The county magistrate's office was in chaos, and no one cared about the life and death of the Su family.

These people are lucky. Even after taking so much ecstasy, they still have a weak breath hanging on.

The people from the county magistrate's office threw the still-drowsy Su family members into a broken car like throwing away garbage and sent them back to the station.

The exile officers tried to wake these people up no matter what, so they had to throw them onto the cargo carts like a pile of goods.

The exile team set out on a new journey again, and the news of the fight among tens of thousands of people was quickly sent back to the capital a few days later.

That afternoon, the prince was accompanying the old emperor in the Imperial Garden for a walk to help digest his food.

Ever since the Sixth and the Second were demoted to commoners, the Crown Prince has been extremely proud.

This time, he didn't know who it was, but he killed the old emperor's Long Yinwei. Fortunately, the Beili people around him discovered the clues in time and robbed the secret letters from Long Yinwei, which saved his position.

He is now the most powerful prince among the young princes. As long as he serves the old emperor well, he will never worry about which position is his!

So he had been very attentive to the old emperor recently. On the way, he was afraid that the old emperor would fall, so he would personally rush over to help him up. He was also afraid that the old emperor would get hot, so he personally fanned him.

This trick was also very popular with the old emperor, who would pat the prince on the shoulder from time to time to show his praise.

On the surface, it really looks like a picture of a loving father and a filial son.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the eunuch report:

"Your Majesty! There is an urgent message from Ci Le City!"

When the old emperor heard that it was Cile County, he immediately thought that Xiahou Yao must have dealt with the Xiao family.

His eyes lit up instantly and he unfolded the letter to take a look.

As a result, he kept looking over there. The more he looked, the more his hands shook, and the more his breathing became rapid. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Emperor!"

"Father!"

"The emperor has fainted! Send for the imperial physician!"
