Then, the county magistrate said to the other villagers, "See? This is the order for anyone who dares to defy me! If you know what's good for you, sign it now, or...he'll be your fate!"
The others were still hesitant and didn't dare to sign, but after a few more villagers were dragged out, the village chief was worried that the county magistrate would take action against Mrs. Lin and the children, so he had no choice but to agree to sign.
There were dozens of villagers and dozens of pieces of paper, and everyone present was forced to sign.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er stayed in the corner with Duan Qingxi, so the officers did not notice them.
Xuan Yi whispered to Duan Qingxi, "Miss, shouldn't we take action now?"
Duan Qingxi had a relaxed expression, not worried about any accidents. He said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? The big fish hasn't come out yet!"
Xuanyi and Xuaner looked at each other. Although they didn't know what Duan Qingxi was planning, seeing that she was not in a hurry, they had no choice but to sit with her.
When they were almost done signing, a man in a black robe suddenly walked in accompanied by two or three other men in black.
When the county magistrate saw him, he quickly stood up and walked respectfully towards the man in black robe.
"Sir, you're here? These villagers have already signed their names. Look..."
Duan Qingxi noticed something unusual and looked over quickly. He saw the man in black robe picking up the paper signed by the villagers and nodded with satisfaction.
Because his face was completely obscured by the wide black hat, Duan Qingxi couldn't see his face clearly, or even tell his approximate age.
After a while, the black-robed man said, "Now that we've signed the agreement, let's quickly deal with these rioters. Don't leave any of them alive!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief and all the villagers became excited and began to insult the county magistrate and the man in black robes.
A man in black next to the man in black robe suddenly attacked one of the villagers, knocking him to the ground and causing him to vomit blood.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er did not expect that the man in black robe would suddenly order someone to attack, so when they wanted to step forward, it was too late. Fortunately, the villager did not die, but was seriously injured.
The county magistrate cursed angrily, "How dare you!" and then turned to the man in the black robe and said, "Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely deal with these troublemakers."
Although the village chief and his men were angry, they also knew that they were no match for the county magistrate and the man in black robe.
In fact, when they were brought here, they already knew that this would be their fate.
At this moment, an official suddenly walked up to the county magistrate and whispered, "Sir, I just counted carefully, and it seems that there are still three people who haven't signed..."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's face turned somewhat grim. He cursed him as "trash" before looking at the man in black robes and said with a flattering smile, "Sir..."
The black-robed man naturally heard what they said, and said calmly, "It's just three people. Just pull them out and sign."
"yes!"
As he spoke, the officer noticed Xuan Yi, Xuan Er and Duan Qingxi who had been sitting in the corner.
"You three! If you have any sense, you'd better come out and sign your names, otherwise... you'll regret it!"
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er frowned fiercely. When they stood up, Duan Qingxi also stood up slowly and walked out calmly.
The village chief and others looked at Duan Qingxi and the other two nervously. They hoped that Duan Qingxi and the other two would not sign, but when they thought that even if they did not sign now, they would only be tortured and forced to sign, they did not dare to say anything.
The county magistrate snorted coldly and said, "You're quite sensible..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Duan Qingxi sitting down in the seat where he had been sitting before, and even crossed his legs.
After she stretched out her hand, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er took the papers that required them to sign from the officer's hands.
