Wang Shou was furious and cursed a thousand times in his heart. He swore an oath again. If he made even the slightest mistake, wouldn't he be chopped to ashes?
At this time, it started to rain heavily, and Xu Xiaoyi's devilish smile scared the two of them half to death.
"The oath has been made. If you dare to break it, you will be struck by lightning. You don't need to help tomorrow. You will stay and clean up the prison grounds and the government office next to the county magistrate's mansion."
"Yes! Sir, we will complete the mission!"

There was a sound outside the door at this time.

Peng!!
Xu Xiaoyi turned around instantly and delivered a powerful punch to Old Man Xi, who fainted on the spot.
"Dad!" Xi Xiao was so scared that his soul almost flew away. Could it be that the county magistrate couldn't kill his father with just one punch?
The merchants were just in tears, having never thought the magistrate cared so much about them. But suddenly, they were frightened by the miserable state of Old Man Xi. Why did he suddenly hit him? Regardless, the magistrate must have had his reasons for hitting him.
