Chapter 123: Arson
Jin Dianshi was very anxious at this time.
Originally, County Magistrate Yang asked him to capture the naughty girl named Xing'er, but the people he sent out not only failed to capture Xing'er, but were beaten up instead.
When this matter reached the ears of County Magistrate Yang, it became his fault. Just now, County Magistrate Yang scolded him in front of many people, causing him to lose face in front of his colleagues.
Jin Dianshi swore to catch those outsiders who made him lose face and beat them severely!
He grabbed the innkeeper and interrogated him fiercely.
"Are there a group of outsiders staying in your store today?"
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was trembling all over and stuttered: "Yes, yes, but they are gone."
"Gone? Are you trying to trick me, old man?"
"No, no, how could I dare to lie to you?!" The shopkeeper was almost crying.
Jin Dianshi didn't believe him, and violently pushed the innkeeper away and shouted
"Go in there and arrest those damned bastards!"
This time, Jin Dianshi was really ruthless and vowed to catch those daring outsiders.
He transferred almost all the runners and constables in the county government here, including thirty constables and more than eighty runners, totaling more than a hundred people.
They rushed into the inn with knives, guns, sticks and clubs, and went straight to the guest room where Luo Qinghan was staying.
The guys had already been frightened and hid themselves, not daring to breathe.
The constables and yamen runners turned the inn upside down but could not find any trace of the outsiders. Jin Dianshi had no choice but to believe the innkeeper's words.
"Do you know where those outsiders went?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said he didn't know.
Jin Dianshi cursed and turned away with murderous intent.
He ordered his men to search and interrogate street by street. The entire county was so small, and he would conduct a carpet search. He was confident that he would not find the group of outsiders!
Half a day passed and it was almost dark when the bailiffs finally found the whereabouts of the group of outsiders.
After learning where they were staying, Jin Dianshi laughed grimly: "Damn it, I finally found them! Let's go and skin them!"
The captain of the police quickly reminded them, "If we just go straight in and attack them, we'll probably suffer a loss. Those people are very skilled and have weapons. If we just go straight in and attack them, there will probably be a lot of casualties. In my opinion, it's better to just set them on fire, just like we did with that scholar two years ago..."
Although Jin Dianshi has a bad temper, he is not stupid.
He felt that what the captain's words made sense, so he patted him on the shoulder twice and laughed.
"That's right, your idea is very good. Once the fire is set, it will let everyone see what happens if they dare to go against our government!"
Under the command of Jin Dianshi, the detectives and yamen runners collected a lot of firewood and kerosene.
After some tidying up, the abandoned courtyard finally became habitable.
Xiao Xixi had already crawled into the bed and was sleeping soundly.
Luo Qinghan was reading by candlelight.
There was a knock on the door and Xiao Nan's voice came in.
"Your Highness, there was some commotion outside the courtyard. I went to take a look and saw that people from the county government were piling up firewood outside the courtyard. They also brought a lot of kerosene. It looked like they were planning to set a fire."
Luo Qinghan turned a page and said calmly, "Don't worry about them."
"Yes."
