Xu Jinhuan didn't care whether he scared anyone or not. After using his invisibility ability on the chief eunuch, he immediately used his lightness skill to fly quickly and soon arrived near the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Looking up, I saw Xie Guangbai in the shadows.
However, he looked a little strange at this moment; the package seemed to have been tucked into his abdomen inside his clothes.
Looking at his straight back and his bulging belly, I had a strange feeling that he was pregnant.
Xu Jinhuan flew to Xie Guangbai's side, and before Xie Guangbai could react, he grabbed Xie Guangbai's collar with his free hand and dragged him away from the palace.
"ah!"
Xie Guangbai was startled, but seeing the familiar takeoff posture, he knew it was his master, so he relaxed and quietly watched the capital city in the early morning light.
Xu Jinhuan quickly arrived at the entrance of the government office. She dispelled the chief eunuch's invisibility and threw him at the entrance as well, tying him up with Long Wangcai.
"Mmm?"
The chief eunuch stared at Long Wangcai in disbelief. What on earth was going on?
"Mmm..."
Godfather? Long Wangcai didn't expect that the Earth God would actually drag his godfather out of the palace, and could only awkwardly grunt twice.
Xu Jinhuan looked at his layout with satisfaction, and after confirming that it was very eye-catching, he forcefully struck the drum at the main gate of the government office.
"Bang bang bang"
After doing all this, Xu Jinhuan felt that even the invisible red scarf on his chest looked brighter. If it weren't for the top-tier item mentioned by the system Xiao Wang, and the need to quickly repay the points he owed Xiao Wang.
Xu Jinhuan would never stoop to such a motherly level, but this trip wasn't entirely fruitless; she even managed to take a royal physician with her!
Xu Jinhuan was happily waiting for the task to be completed, while Xie Guangbai had been in a daze ever since he arrived at the government office.
He saw a man who looked like a eunuch suddenly thrown out, then he saw the several people who were tied up, and the confession written in blood on a white cloth...
So, the mistress didn't go to the Imperial Hospital to poach talent, but rather to the palace to arrest people?
Thinking of this, Xie Guangbai's respect for Xu Jinhuan deepened even further.
There are corrupt officials everywhere in the capital right now, what's lacking is someone who can do real things for the people. Can he be considered to have chosen a wise ruler?
Just as Xie Guangbai was pondering, the loud drumbeats that Xu Jinhuan struck quickly woke up the surrounding people, including those in the government office.
The yamen runner on night duty squinted, yawned, and pushed open the gate.
"Who is it that comes to beat the drum at the crack of dawn? Don't they know that beating the drum means they have to take twenty lashes first!"
Before he could finish yawning, he saw people lying haphazardly in front of the government office, and even the area around the large stone lion was full of people tied up.
The bailiff, mouth agape, had only taken two steps when he kicked the person lying on the ground.
The constable looked at the man's clothes, which were soaked with blood, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I just accidentally bumped into you. Don't try to extort money from me!"
After saying that, he carefully walked over the two people lying down and carefully examined the most conspicuous confession.
After reading it, his expression turned to anger, because his mother was a loyal customer of Jinlong Grain Shop, and his family had been eating Jinlong Grain Shop's grain for several years!
No wonder the grain sold here is a penny or two cheaper than elsewhere; that's why!
The yamen runners were now wishing they could vomit up all the food they had in their stomachs, but unfortunately, it had already been digested.
Since you can't spit it out, then beat Long Wangcai up to vent your anger!
Thinking this angrily, the constable also turned his attention to Long Wangcai, only to find that there was really no place on this man for him to put his feet.
His head was wrapped in gauze, stained with blood; he had wounds all over his body and hands; even his legs, especially his calves, were gone…
The yamen runners watched with a sigh; this unknown drummer was not only excellent at investigation, but also truly ruthless.
He was completely unaware that such a talented person existed in the capital.
"Why is there an old eunuch here?"
After the constable calmed down a bit, he noticed the chief eunuch beside Long Wangcai. He remembered the confession he had just seen and guessed that this was Long Wangcai's eunuch godfather.
"Pah! No wonder you're childless; you've obviously done too many wicked things!"
After spitting all over the head eunuch's face, the yamen runner trotted back to the backyard of the yamen to report the situation to the prefect.
At the same time, the surrounding people also got dressed and walked towards the entrance of the government office with doubt and curiosity.
"Hey, this drum hasn't sounded in years! Let's go see what's going on!"
"That drumming is really loud. The person beating the drum must be filled with uncontrollable anger. This must be a case of injustice!"
"Oh dear, the rain stopped just in time. Let's go take a look at the main gate of the government office."
As a result, a large crowd of people arrived at the entrance of the government office and saw Long Wangcai and the others tied up.
"Isn't that Manager Long? What happened to him?"
"Hiss, that's terrible! What kind of grudge could this be? Could it be that Manager Long was the one who hit that drum just now?"
"Hey Li San, it's one thing if you can't read, but how come you can't even read the situation? He's all tied up tightly, how can he possibly beat the drum?"
While the onlookers were discussing the matter, some literate people began to read the confession aloud.
"Damn you, Long Wangcai! You actually fed me moldy rice!"
"No wonder I always felt a bit uncomfortable in my stomach after eating. I thought it was just my own indigestion, but it turns out you were the one causing all this trouble!"
The literate people on one side were cursing merrily, while the illiterate people on the other side were completely bewildered.
"What are you saying? What moldy rice?"
Someone who could read immediately explained it, which caused an uproar among the illiterate people.
"Long Wangcai, have you lost your conscience? How could you do something so despicable?"
“This grain is what we eat every day. How dare Long Wangcai cheat us like this? If the government doesn’t give me an explanation today, I’m not leaving.”
"Yes, we're not leaving!"
And so, when the prefect was dragged out of his warm bed by the yamen runners and rushed over, he saw the people indignantly demanding that the yamen give him justice.
The prefect immediately stepped forward and said with a solemn expression.
"Please don't get agitated, everyone. Listen to me. If this is true, I will absolutely not tolerate evil and will severely punish Long Wangcai and his accomplices."
Seeing that the prefect had made a promise, the people stopped making loud demands and simply waited for the prefect to hear Long Wangcai's case.
Xu Jinhuan, who had been watching silently from the side, saw that things were almost settled. There were witnesses and physical evidence, so many people had witnessed the events, and the presence of the local earth god was also a blessing.
Long Wangcai and his gang definitely can't escape!
As Xu Jinhuan thought this, he reached out and grabbed Xie Guangbai's collar, then used his lightness skill to fly away.
"Ahem, Master, could you please give us a heads-up next time?"
