Seeing that Li Junyan didn't say a word, the county magistrate became more anxious.
"Your Majesty! The Emperor has already heard about your departure from the fiefdom!
We did this under instructions from above, just to teach you a lesson, so that you know what the consequences will be if you leave your fiefdom without permission.
If we really made a mistake, the emperor will punish us, and you don't have to worry about it.
Instead of worrying about those insignificant people, you should hurry back to your fiefdom!"
Just by listening to the county magistrate's words, you can tell that he is a capable man.
Various pieces of information were mixed together, mixing truth and falsehood, making it difficult for people to distinguish them clearly.
If Li Junyan was afraid of the emperor, he would naturally not dare to do anything else, and their lives would naturally be saved.
However, Li Junyan was destined to disappoint them.
Li Junyan, knife in hand, walked up to the county magistrate and looked down at him. "Are you done?"
The county magistrate looked up at Li Junyan, feeling uneasy and his heart seemed to be jumping out of his throat.
Although it was Li Junyan's face in front of him, the county magistrate felt that he was facing the King of Hell.
If he couldn't think of any useful solution, the sword in Li Junyan's hand would really have to depend on him.
"Your Highness! Those words I just said were not mine. I relayed them to you! The Crown Prince told me to relay them. They truly have nothing to do with me!"
Li Junyan raised his eyebrows. "Prince? Didn't you just say that the emperor was the one who knew about my departure from the fiefdom?"
“The Emperor is so busy with affairs of state that he cannot possibly notice these trivial matters… No, I am not saying that the Prince’s matter is trivial, it’s just that the Crown Prince suppressed the news and didn’t let the Emperor know.
The Crown Prince wants to teach the Prince a lesson, to ruin his reputation and make him lose the support of the people. He also wants to teach the Prince a lesson so that he can only stay in his fiefdom and never dare to run around again.
The county magistrate finished speaking all this in a rush and then looked at the others around him. "They were all hired by the prince to play the prince. I was just following orders and cooperating with them. This was not my original intention!"
The others were just listening quietly at first, but when they heard this, they all felt unwell.
"You bastard county magistrate, what do you mean by these words? What do you mean by just cooperating with us? It's obvious that we are eating your leftovers!"
"That's right! Of all those beautiful young girls you captured, which one of them didn't you sleep with first? You even said that you'd had your eye on them for a long time, but for various reasons, you never made a move. Instead, you found a way to have someone draw up a roster.
If you hadn't been prepared, how would you know the age and appearance of the girls in the county?"
"When we were enjoying ourselves, you were the first to rush to the front. Now that something's happened, you're pushing the rest of us to the front just to survive. You're truly shameless!"
"Is the reason you became the county magistrate because you are shameless enough?"
A group of people talked back and forth, and in a moment they tore off the county magistrate's fig leaf and betrayed him completely.
The county magistrate was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes were wide open, and he kept cursing.
"You idiots! Do you know what it means to sacrifice the rook to save the king?"
Only by reporting him first can he slowly plan and try his best to protect them!
A sturdy man spat at the county magistrate, "Bah! What do you mean by sacrificing the car to save the king? Why are you the king? We are the car? Why can't you be the car to protect us kings?"
The county magistrate was so angry that he rolled his eyes but couldn't utter a word.
Li Junyan watched them fighting each other quietly. When he was sure that they could not provide any more useful information, he raised the sword in his hand without any hesitation and slashed the county magistrate's neck.
The blade was sharp, and the county magistrate's neck was cut open in an instant, and blood gushed out.
The county magistrate raised his hand to cover his neck, but blood still flowed out from between his fingers.
After a while, the county magistrate's eyes began to blur, and he lost consciousness and soon stopped breathing.
The county magistrate died.
When others saw this scene, they were horrified.
The county magistrate was an official appointed by the imperial court, but Li Junyan still killed him without any hesitation.
What are these people?
It was not enough, Li Junyan chopped the ground with a knife.
Some people don't want to wait for death, so they struggle desperately and want to get up.
However, they had already lost their ability to move due to their serious injuries, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not stand up.
Lin Qi walked forward with a knife in his hand, expressionless, and took the lives of these people one by one.
After making sure that no one had escaped, Li Junyan said to Lin Qi, "Cover your face, release the woman in that room, and then return to the inn."
"yes."
Lin Qi agreed and ran towards the previous yard using light skills.
Li Junyan glanced at the people on the ground, without any reluctance, he directly climbed over the wall and left the county government office, and returned to the inn as quickly as possible.
Along the way, you can see many houses with their windows slightly open.
Although there were no lights on in the room, no one was sleeping.
The previous series of explosions were so loud that it would be strange if I could still fall asleep in such a situation.
Li Junyan had just returned to his room in the inn when hurried footsteps were heard outside.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then there was a knock on the door.
The shopkeeper's anxious voice rang out from outside, "Young Master! Young Master!"
