Zhao Heng pouted and remained silent.
The magistrate knew that so many people were praising Zhao Heng, and indeed, Zhao Heng had done many things that deserved admiration. However, as his father, he could not praise him in front of so many people, lest Zhao Heng become complacent.
However, he couldn't help but encourage him. He walked over to Zhao Heng and coughed lightly twice: "You did a good job, but as the son of the county magistrate, it's your duty to love the people and stand up for them. But you shouldn't have said those things to that man, because it's precisely men like that who distort the image of the county magistrate, you know?"
Zhao Heng said impatiently, "I know the magistrate's image is important, but so what? Shouldn't such a scoundrel be punished? You're the magistrate, don't you even have this much power? Can't you even distinguish right from wrong?"
"Zhao Heng, what are you saying?"
Zhao Heng turned to look at the county magistrate and roared, "I'm never coming back! Even my aunt wouldn't say that about me, so what right do you have to talk about me like that?"
The magistrate was so angry that he was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At night, a ray of moonlight gently shines on the village road of Daling Village.
A burst of barking woke everyone up.
What is that sound? It's faint and fragmented, like something is dragging it forward.
The security team members, armed with their weapons, hid in secluded spots. Men and women huddled together, timidly watching the dark figures in the distance slowly move towards the center of the village.
Liang Shuyan crouched down, with Dahei following behind her. Dahei's bright black eyes were fixed on the person not far away. It lunged forward, but Liang Shuyan grabbed the rope tightly.
Dahei turned to look at Liang Shuyan, as if he understood something, and stood there in a daze without saying a word.
Liang Shuyan took out a red flag from her bosom and waved it at Dahei. Dahei became alert and rushed towards the dark figure in front of it, followed by more than a dozen wolf cubs, all of whom swarmed forward.
She hid the items she retrieved from the system in her sleeve. One of them was a stun gun. She held it in her hand, weighed it in her hand, and said, "If Dahei can't handle it, this will come in handy."
The men of Daling Village are all very capable. Even the new residents who have just settled in Daling Village are carrying weapons and rushing over here.
The new residents who had just joined Daling Village, though not yet familiar with the village, were equally fearless. They followed closely behind, their tools gleaming coldly in the sunlight, as if proclaiming their determination.
Seeing this momentum, the bandits were momentarily intimidated.
Their weapons seemed so insignificant in the face of the courage of the people of Daling Village.
They began to panic, but it was too late. The men of Daling Village had already rushed in front of them, and a fierce battle was about to begin.
These bandits are reckless; as long as they can steal food and silver, their lives are of no importance to them. The people of Daling Village must be extremely cautious when facing such a group of fearless people.
The young people on the mountain were all hidden in the dense woods. A rustling sound came from the air, and no one knew what it was. At this moment, neither side cared about where the sound came from. Instead, they focused their attention on the hill not far away, where a crowd of people was moving about. Could there be quite a few bandits there?
"Mother, aren't there a lot of people on the mountain opposite? Look, it's a dark mass, like something's about to happen. Are these people going to wipe out our Daling Village?"
Liang Shuyan put her finger to her lips and said, "Don't make a sound. Keep a close watch here. I'll let you know if anything happens."
She knew this search device better than anyone. It was part of the system, and through it, she could detect the surrounding activity and even pinpoint the location, much like a modern navigation system.
Liang Shuyan couldn't explain the purpose of this thing, so she could only tell Dashan this.
Da Shan didn't know when it would happen, but he felt that he had to listen to his mother now, otherwise, the entire village might be wiped out by these people, which was a very frightening thing.
Just then, Big Black started tearing someone apart on the ground.
"Help! I'm just trying to get something to eat. We have no food at all, so we had no choice but to take this path. Help!"
The leading man looked at Liang Shuyan and said somewhat displeasedly, "How did you know the truck was carrying grain?"
Liang Shuyan walked over with her arms crossed, a hint of disdain and anger on her face.
She stared coldly at the group of people in front of her, a sneer playing on her lips: "Is this your excuse for stealing from our Daling Village? Does this give you a reason to steal other people's property?"
Her words were like cold bullets, striking straight to the heart.
The villagers behind her also began to murmur amongst themselves, and anger spread through the air.
Liang Shuyan's words caused a stir inside the tent.
The man in the lead frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He glanced around at everyone present, then fixed his gaze on Liang Shuyan, his tone tinged with doubt: "How...how did you know the truck was carrying grain?"
Liang Shuyan straightened her back, smiled disdainfully, and her eyes revealed a hint of provocation.
She pointed to the sacks on the truck and said firmly, "Who do you think your tricks can fool? The grain on this truck belongs to Daling Village. Don't even think about taking it away."
The air inside the tent seemed to freeze instantly.
The leading man and Liang Shuyan faced off, their gazes clashing in the air like two sharp swords colliding.
Everyone else turned their attention to Liang Shuyan, their faces showing surprise and confusion.
A resolute glint flashed in Liang Shuyan's eyes. She straightened her back and stared firmly at the leading man.
There was no fear or hesitation in her eyes, only an indomitable courage.
Everyone else turned their attention to Liang Shuyan, their faces showing surprise and confusion.
They originally thought Liang Shuyan would choose to compromise, but they did not expect her to confront the leading man so firmly.
The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere inside the tent was unusually tense.
Everyone could feel that invisible tension, as if an explosion could be triggered at any moment.
With a whoosh, the leader was sent flying. He tried to speak, but could only open his mouth. The men behind him were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"We...we were just following orders, please spare us!"
