After hearing Xu Jinhuan's question, the young man replied with a sad face.
"My name is Su Renfu. I live in Tongqiao County. Apart from the servants, there are only my parents and I in my family. My father is Su Youguang, the county magistrate of Tongqiao County."
Ma Wencai, who was standing by, asked with a smile after hearing what Su Renfu said.
"Since your father is the county magistrate of Tongqiao County, and you are so skilled in bullying others by taking advantage of your power, do you oppress the people and embezzle a lot of money on a daily basis?"
Su Renfu immediately shook his head vigorously and shouted loudly: "No, absolutely not. As long as we are the people of Tongqiao County, there is no one who does not give a thumbs up to my father. He is indeed a good official."
People present didn't quite believe what Su Renfu said. What good official would allow his son to go out with a large group of detectives?
Ma Wencai looked at Su Renfu, his face speechless, "Are you treating us like fools? Before you said that, didn't you even look at the constables tied up next to you?"
Su Renfu immediately explained: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I came out this time because there was a murder in the county. I found some suspicious points and wanted to find clues from the county magistrate.
My father was worried about my safety, so he sent a constable to follow me."
After saying that, Su Renfu explained a little embarrassedly, "Because I am the only male in my family for three generations, my father dotes on me a little bit, so he mobilized so many troops."
Ma Wencai was speechless after hearing this. He originally thought he could catch a corrupt official to rob the rich and help the poor, but it turned out that this official was just a spoiled child...
It's such a waste of their time. I should have rested for a while longer since we still have to travel at night.
Xu Jinhuan did not believe Su Renfu's words completely, but took the cloth ball from a constable's mouth at random and asked a few more questions.
After getting more or less the same answers, she said to Xie Datou.
"Big Head, find a few people to teach them a lesson. For now, just tie them up like this and stuff the cloth back. They like this dilapidated temple, so let them stay here for a while.
As for whether they live or die after we leave, it all depends on their own luck."
Xu Jinhuan would not let Su Renfu go just because he found out that his father was a good official.
Firstly, she was not the kind of saint who possessed truth, goodness and beauty in her heart. Secondly, although there were reasons for what happened, it was indeed this group of people who drove them away in such a hot day.
Besides, time was running out and she had to use it all to get on the road. She really had no interest in wasting her precious time going to the warehouse of a county magistrate who was said to be an honest official.
Therefore, Xu Jinhuan chose to let them fend for themselves. If they could wear off the ropes or be discovered by others, it would mean that they were not destined to die.
If no one notices, it means that this is their fate and they cannot blame others.
"Yes, boss!" Xie Datou always does what Xu Jinhuan says and acts strictly according to Xu Jinhuan's orders. This time is no exception.
Su Renfu and the other detectives were so upset that they could not even cry. Why did they have to be so rude and offend these cruel and ruthless people? Wouldn't it be better to live a good life?
Su Renfu was shouting frantically in his heart, Dad, please come and save your child. If you come a little later, the three generations of the Su family’s single-line inheritance will come to an end!
Seeing that Boss Xu had already dealt with this group of people, the other people present no longer had the energy to pay attention to them. They might as well have a good rest instead.
Soon, the sun began to set, the sky darkened slightly, and the temperature that had previously made people dizzy from the basking in the sun also dropped slightly.
"Pack up, it's time to go." Xu Jinhuan said, looking at the sky outside.
"yes!"
After hearing Xu Jinhuan's words, everyone packed up their things in an orderly manner and finished quickly.
“Mmmmm…”
Su Renfu and the detectives struggled violently, but they could only watch their backs getting farther and farther away.
As the sky gradually darkened, the originally empty temple became more and more terrifying. The compassionate Buddha in the daytime became ghostly against the backdrop of shadows.
Su Renfu and the detectives huddled together, wailing in his heart, "Oh my god, this is too scary! He will never bully others again!"
Xu Jinhuan, who had already embarked on her journey, had no idea what they were thinking at the moment. She just hoped that there would be no more people getting in the way on the road.
Unfortunately, it is common for things not to go as we wish.
The dozens of carriages in the exile team were traveling together, which was quite conspicuous. They were therefore targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
"Is it them?" asked a one-eyed middle-aged man.
The somewhat wretched-looking man next to him immediately replied, "Brother, that's them. I've been observing them for a day. The horses are all good, and they all have luggage and special guards.
Although he is wearing ordinary clothes, maybe it is to hide his identity. Isn't he a rich man? "
The one-eyed man nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, after we kill these little fat sheep, you will be the third in command of this village!"
The wretched man immediately smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, "Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother!"
The one-eyed man licked his dagger, a trace of bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he jumped on the horse and waved to the younger brothers behind him.
"Brothers, follow me, the gold, silver and treasures are all ours!"
The younger brothers were also very excited. Recently, due to the hot weather, fewer and fewer wealthy businessmen went out. Now that they had met a group of fat sheep, they were very happy.
"Go ahead, I'm going to sleep with the brides today."
"Tsk, why do you only think about that? I'm different. I'm going to go to the casino to have some fun after I get the money."
"You two big brothers, stop talking about the second brother and quickly follow the boss!"
Therefore, when Xu Jinhuan and his carriage reached a valley, they saw a cloud of dust blowing by, followed closely by a group of bandits on horseback.
The one-eyed man swung the dagger in his hand and shouted with a wild smile: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want..."
Before he could finish, Ma Wencai quickly added, "If you want to pass through here, you need to leave money for passage? Oh, you are still saying this old-fashioned robbery talk. You are really bringing shame to the bandits."
Then, Ma Wencai sighed and said, "I never thought that I would be robbed one day. Grandchildren, let me see your skills."
After saying that, Ma Wencai took the knife and rushed into the bandits like a monkey.
Li Yichang, who was standing by, held his forehead in his hand speechlessly and complained, "Is Ma Wencai really stupid? Did he go into the enemy camp alone to help them?"
Xu Jinhuan shook his head helplessly and arranged: "Big Head, you send some people to protect the carriages of the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the rest of you pick up your weapons and follow me!"
The others had already prepared their weapons, waiting for Xu Jinhuan's order. Now that their boss had spoken, they were naturally not afraid of trouble and shouted one after another.
"Go ahead, kill these bandits, and all their stuff will belong to us!"
