The county officials brought Xiao Feng inside and forcibly pushed him into the main hall.
Looking at Xiao Feng's calm expression, the magistrate couldn't help but say to him, "You audacious madman, how dare you use force in the academy?"
The constables around him raised their sticks, as if trying to intimidate Xiao Feng.
However, he didn't take it to heart at all, and shook his head with an indifferent expression.
He didn't utter a single word from beginning to end.
Seeing Xiao Feng's confident demeanor, the magistrate suspected he had powerful connections. He frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Take him away and lock him up."
The constables walked up to Xiao Feng and led him downstairs.
Xiao Feng followed them into the dungeon, his face showing indifference. He knew the Xiao family would receive the news soon.
Even if the Xiao family doesn't come, I believe the Qingzong disciples will.
Sure enough, just as he was being arrested, General Xiao received the news that Xiao Feng had been arrested and rushed to the city lord's mansion.
When Lord Xiao learned that Xiao Feng had been captured and imprisoned in the dungeon, he slammed his hand hard on the table, smashing it into pieces.
No one had ever seen Lord Xiao so angry before, and they all exchanged glances: "Looks like someone has really messed with us this time."
Everyone knows that the Xiao family can do whatever they want in the City That Never Sleeps, so it's outrageous that someone actually captured Xiao Feng and put him in the dungeon.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, General Xiao arrived at the county government office with a number of guards, his eyes fixed on the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate saw General Xiao personally leading his troops here, he was full of incomprehension, having no idea why they had come to cause him trouble.
General Xiao pointed inside and said, "You have quite the nerve to cause trouble for the Xiao family."
The magistrate looked completely bewildered, never imagining that he would one day be dealing with the Xiao family.
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, he glanced in the direction of the dungeon: "Could it be... the person we just captured..."
At this point, the magistrate basically understood what was going on and kicked the man behind him hard in the butt: "What are you still looking at? Go and release the people!"
The constables only realized what was happening when they heard the magistrate's voice. They ran frantically toward the dungeon, trying to get the people inside out.
At this moment, Xiao Feng, sitting in the dungeon, heard the sounds outside and smiled, "Judging from this noise, it must be people from the Xiao family."
In his eyes, only people from the Xiao family could make such a sound.
If the disciples of the Qing Sect were to arrive here, they would likely fight their way in from the entrance, giving them no chance whatsoever.
Before long, the bailiffs arrived in front of Xiao Feng, opened the cell door, and said with a wry smile, "You can leave now."
Xiao Feng noticed that the constable was looking at him, but he didn't make things difficult for him and followed him into the main hall.
With just one glance, he understood why the county government was in such a hurry to release him.
It turned out that General Xiao had personally led the guards to the county government office. If they dared to utter even the slightest dissent, the entire county government office would be destroyed.
When General Xiao saw Xiao Feng emerge unharmed and walk up to him, his face full of concern, he asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"
In the City That Never Sleeps, no one has the power to bully the Xiao family.
Looking at General Xiao's arrogant demeanor, Xiao Feng couldn't help but glance in the direction of the county magistrate and chuckled, "They are just doing their job, it's alright."
The magistrate hurriedly approached General Xiao: "I didn't know he was from your Xiao family. Otherwise, even if you lent me the courage, I wouldn't dare to arrest him."
General Xiao listened to the magistrate making excuses for himself and couldn't help but glance in Xiao Feng's direction: "You don't need to look at me, you should look at him."
The person he captured is now the Xiao family's biggest backer, and may even become the head of the Xiao family in the future.
Seeing that even General Xiao was unable to stand up for Xiao Feng, the magistrate looked in Xiao Feng's direction with a face full of fear: "I really don't know..."
Xiao Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "It's alright, I know you're just doing your duty."
Xiao Feng walked to General Xiao's side and said, "Let's go. They're all doing their own thing. It's alright."
General Xiao left the county government office with his guards only after obtaining his permission.
As soon as they left, the magistrate kicked the constable again: "Didn't you know to investigate his identity? You almost got him killed."
The constables didn't dare say a word; they hadn't expected that the person they had arrested was actually from the Xiao family.
Suddenly, one of the yamen runners looked in the direction of the magistrate: "I don't recall the Xiao family having such a person, do I?"
They usually live in the City That Never Sleeps, and everyone in the Xiao family should know them; there is no such person as Xiao Feng.
When the magistrate heard them say this, he pondered for a moment and said, "It is rumored that the city lord's eldest son has returned. Judging from his extraordinary demeanor, he may be the one from the Azure Sect."
Upon hearing this, the constable broke out in a cold sweat.
No wonder Xiao Feng didn't resist. With his strength, he could kill someone in an instant, and there was no way he would give them a chance to make a move.
Now that they have offended the Xiao family, their future path may be very difficult.
The magistrate pondered for a moment, then glanced in the direction of the constables: "Do you remember who offended Xiao Feng?"
The constable naturally remembered who had come to inform him, and nodded repeatedly: "Li Dehua from the academy."
The magistrate obtained the man's name, confirmed he had no connections, and pointed in the direction of the academy: "You must bring Li Dehua back immediately; I, the magistrate, will make amends."
In his eyes, offending the Xiao family in the City That Never Sleeps was the most unwise choice.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Dehua was captured and thrown into the dungeon.
The magistrate thought he had done the right thing, but no one expected that Li Dehua's friend would actually come to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
They all knew that Li Dehua and Xiao Feng had a conflict, and now that Li Dehua had been arrested, there must be someone from Xiao Feng's faction involved.
At this moment, many people who had been bullied by Xiao Feng in the past stood up, indicating that Xiao Feng had been a spoiled brat since childhood.
In just half an hour, the city lord's mansion had been completely surrounded by them.
The guards at the Xiao family's gate had never expected so many people to be there. They exchanged glances, completely unaware of what had happened at the Xiao family's residence.
Soon, the guards at the gate arrived at the Xiao family's main hall, stood before Lord Xiao, and truthfully reported what they had seen at the gate.
When City Lord Xiao learned that his city lord's mansion was besieged, his face was filled with shock: "What did you say? My city lord's mansion is besieged? What happened?"
