Chapter 83: The County Magistrate's Death
The two of them are just commoners now. He is a fifth-rank county magistrate, much higher than them. He is afraid of nothing. If someone comes to his territory, even a dragon will coil around him.
The county magistrate straightened his back.
The lawyers next to him were worried for him and wanted to remind him, but this happened in the court.
Although that man was just a commoner, he still had royal blood in his veins. Maybe one day the emperor would pardon him and he would be able to turn things around?
There is also the county magistrate who eats the emperor's salary but works for others, and even does things that are punishable by death. The lawyer is always worried and lives in fear every day.
Alas! The lawyer sighed deeply in his heart.
"Bang!"
The county magistrate slammed the gavel heavily.
"hiss!"
The blow was too hard, and his palm became numb due to the vibration.
The county magistrate shouted, "How dare you! Who are you to openly break into the court and cause trouble? Aren't you afraid of being thrown into jail?"
When Murong Li saw the county magistrate's face, which was as pale as a palette, he knew that he had recognized him.
If Lord Gao could recognize him, the county magistrate would naturally be able to recognize him as well.
I just don't know who the master behind them is. He is so familiar with the royal family and cares so much about him, the invisible King Li.
He was also painted so that people would remember him.
This person's character is not simple.
Murong Li simply said, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that within your jurisdiction, a shady business has committed a crime of disregarding human life. Not only did you, the county magistrate, fail to conduct a thorough investigation, you have also casually sentenced the case. This is not the way a fifth-rank official should judge a case. You have disregarded the laws of the country and acted like a pure bandit."
"you!"
Su Yue immediately interrupted him: "Don't talk about yours or mine. The grain from Ren's grain store is already being distributed to the refugees for free. That's the evidence. Why don't you send someone to collect the evidence?"
"Ren's Grain Shop?" The county magistrate exclaimed in surprise. The Ren's Grain Shop belonged to his sister-in-law. What did Su Yue say? She said that the Ren's Grain Shop was distributing grain to refugees for free.
this?
"Yes, it's Ren's grain store. They came from Ren's grain store." Su Yue pointed at the refugees in the hall.
However, few of the refugees in the hall nodded. When they heard that Ren's Grain Store was distributing grain for free, they were no longer calm. They didn't want to sue anyone here at all. They wanted to go and collect the grain.
When the refugees outside the hall heard that they had already run to Ren's grain store, even the refugees kneeling in the hall quietly moved out.
I’m afraid the daylily will be cold by then.
"stop."
When the yamen runner saw some refugees running away, he shouted, "What kind of place is this yamen? You can come and go as you please."
They haven't been beaten yet, but they don't know why the county magistrate hasn't given any orders yet.
Su Yue gave him a sharp look, and the yamen official felt a chill on his back. He shrank his neck, glanced at the county magistrate in the hall, and dared not say another word.
"Hurry up and get the rice. Ren's grain store has a lot of good rice. If you are late, you will not be able to get it." Su Yue completely ignored the murderous look in the county magistrate's eyes. They were here to cause trouble, so they didn't care whether the county magistrate was angry or not. Wouldn't it be better if he was angry to death?
The refugees didn't care about anything else. They got up and ran away in a swarm. Soon, only Su Yue and Murong Li were left in the hall.
The county magistrate then stepped down from his seat and stood before Murong Li. He sized him up with his small eyes and then bowed, saying, "Prince Li has come a long way, and I apologize for not welcoming you."
Murong Li snorted coldly. The county governor was so sarcastic, he said coldly, "Sir, county governor, stop being so hypocritical. You know very well that I am no longer the Prince of Li."
The county magistrate said with a forced smile, "After all, Prince Li is also the current emperor's son."
The emperor's son is now not even as good as a chicken. You see, he can be mocked at will. In the past, he never had the chance to see the high and mighty princes.
The county magistrate waved his hand after he finished speaking, and immediately the yamen runners closed the yamen. The runners drew their swords and surrounded Su Yue and the other man with ferocious looks.
Since he is offered the opportunity to perform a great deed, why should he be polite?
He now has more than a hundred yamen runners and he doesn't believe that he can't catch these two people.
"Catch him." The county magistrate shouted sternly.
"Humph! What a rabble."
Murong Li said contemptuously: "You think you can take me down with just a few of your people? That's wishful thinking."
"As long as I can capture you, it will be my ability. Kill, kill without mercy!" After saying this, the county magistrate withdrew from the encirclement with a smug smile on his face, waiting to see how these two people died today.
Su Yue looked at this group of people and didn't know what the county governor was so proud of. Compared with the killers, these people were just straw bags and were not enough for Murong Li to kill with one move of internal force.
Murong Li only gave Su Yue a look. He didn't mind killing these minions. He moved quickly and jumped out of the encirclement. He grabbed the county governor's neck with one hand and said coldly, "You don't want to drink a toast, but you want to drink a penalty. I tell you to get out of here."
"Quick, quick, retreat, get out of here..."
The county magistrate was so frightened that his legs were shaking. King Li was too powerful. No wonder he was so fearless.
The hand that was gripping his neck was so strong that the Prince of Li could break his neck with just the slightest movement of his hand.
He he he doesn't want to die.
The yamen runners were also terrified. Murong Li was so fast just now. If he wanted to kill them, they would have been dead before they even made a move.
The yamen runners felt cold and quickly retreated, and even kindly helped to close the door.
After everyone had left, Murong Li carried the county magistrate towards the hospital, and Su Yue immediately followed.
When they reached the backyard, Murong Li threw the county governor to the ground, staring at him with eyes as cold as ice and asking, "Who is the master behind you?"
"You, you know? Then Mr. Gao..."
The county magistrate met Murong Li's eyes and shuddered unconsciously. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly shut up.
What he wanted to ask was, was it possible that Mr. Gao was also killed?
Why are you asking him if he wasn't killed?
Oh, that’s not right. Mr. Gao doesn’t know who the master is at all.
Murong Li chuckled: "You should know that Mr. Gao and the countless assassins you sent are all dead."
"ah……"
The county magistrate stared at Murong Li with wide eyes, feeling a surge of fear. This King Li was too terrifying. He would not be able to escape death today.
The county magistrate was in despair. He knew his own affairs very well. If he told anyone, he would die.
"Don't be so wicked, tell me who is behind you. If you don't tell me today, no one in your yard will be able to escape."
"You you you... I, I, I... Puff..."
The county magistrate didn't even have time to say a word before he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his neck twisted, and he died.
"I didn't expect that man to be so cruel that he even poisoned the county magistrate."
Murong Li reached out and felt the county magistrate's nose and neck, but there was no breath.
He died so quickly that their clues were cut off.
