Su Ruojin inwardly cried out in alarm, then looked up at Magistrate Huang.
"Your Excellency has a good eye."
"Miss Zhao, you flatter me. However, I would also like to advise you to mind your own business in your next life!"
At Huang Tongpan's command, not only did the workers transporting the weapons pull out their weapons from under the boxes, but more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the woods and surrounded Su Ruojin and Liu Jing.
Not only that, these people also took out masks from their pockets and put them on, and the weapons in each of their hands gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
Seeing this, Su Ruojin narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Magistrate Huang with a half-smile, "Magistrate, it's a bit of an overreaction to use so many people to deal with a weak woman like me."
They're all wearing masks to protect themselves from her poison.
Judge Huang chuckled, “Miss Zhao was able to burn down Lord Tong’s Lotus Viewing Pavilion and raid the prefect’s prison; she is certainly not to be underestimated.”
"Prefect, what's going on? Are you trying to pin all the cases that the Prefectural Governor can't solve on me? You think the cases will be closed once I'm dead? What a clever scheme."
Su Ruojin didn't believe that Magistrate Huang would know that she was the one who did these things.
She set fire to Guanhe Tower that day; with her agility, it was impossible for anyone to have seen her.
As for the raid on the government prison, she knew that the prison guards there were unlikely to wake up yet and could not provide any clues.
Even if they wake up, she doesn't believe they'll know who did it, since An Yi and the others are masked.
Judge Huang was just trying to trick her by saying that.
Just as Su Ruojin had predicted, Judge Huang was indeed bluffing her.
He couldn't help but feel that both of these things were related to Zhao Ruojin, but since Zhao Ruojin wouldn't admit it, he lost his patience.
“Miss Zhao, the dead can’t speak. What I say will be the truth. Attack! Leave no survivors.”
At his command, everyone raised their swords and thrust them at Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin retreated quickly, avoiding the initial attack. Liu Jing drew the soft sword hidden at his waist and faced the enemy directly.
But Liu Jing is only one person. He can deal with five or six people, but he can't possibly deal with more than ten people at the same time.
Judge Huang also realized that Zhao Ruojin didn't have much skill, and he became even more smug.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to have his men wear masks to prevent Zhao Ruojin from using poison.
But Huang Tongpan's joy lasted only a few breaths before he heard a series of muffled groans.
Then they saw their men being hit by crossbow bolts and falling to the ground.
In the end, only Liu Jing and one man in black remained, and they fought evenly.
Upon seeing this, Magistrate Huang immediately realized that something was wrong. A sense of crisis made him turn his horse around and try to run away, but the horse neighed and knelt down on the ground.
There are tripwires on the ground!
We've fallen for their trap!
When Judge Huang realized what was happening, a knife was already at his neck.
Meanwhile, Liu Jing's battle had ended, and his sword was now at the neck of the man in black.
Liu Jing ripped off the mask from the man in black, revealing an expression of "I knew it."
The man in black was Liu Ertie.
Liu Ertie wasn't surprised to see Liu Jing; instead, it was Liu Ertie who was surprised. "You guessed it?"
Liu Jing smiled and said, "How can someone who doesn't forge iron in a blacksmith's shop have such thick calluses on their hands? Besides, the calluses on blacksmiths are in a different location than those on swords."
