In just one exchange, he was almost knocked flying.
Lin Ru frowned, and Wu Juan and Wu Fei immediately used their lightness skills to leap over the crowd and rescue the little girl. They also kicked the thugs who rushed over away.
The little girl had already resolved to die, but suddenly she felt as if her body was being lifted into the air.
She cautiously opened her eyes and found a man and a woman standing next to her.
These two not only rescued her, but also beat up the thugs!
They immediately felt that even God couldn't bear to see them suffer, so He sent these two experts to help them.
Seeing this, Manager Liu across the street frowned so deeply that he could have trapped a fly.
"Who exactly are we? Why are we here to ruin my plans?"
"Don't you know what it means to meddle in other people's business?"
"Someone come here! Go and report this to the authorities!"
"Since you dare to hit my people on my turf, I'll skin you alive."
Lin Ru looked somewhat displeased!
She wondered why she always seemed to encounter these kinds of things.
And how exactly are the people below managing things?
I really felt like the emperor was far away and the sky was high.
Or perhaps I appeared somewhere within myself?
That's what makes these people so arrogant and conceited.
And judging from the way the people around him looked, this person must have been committing evil deeds here for a long time!
Even when the law was invoked, this person showed no fear whatsoever.
The backer behind this must be really powerful!
Lin Ru ordered Wu Juan to release the messenger, as she wanted to see how the officials would judge the matter when they arrived.
Seeing this, the young girl quickly walked up to Wu Juan and said, "My two benefactors, I know you mean well, but this person's backing is too powerful. You should leave as soon as possible."
“My benefactor! You two are highly skilled in martial arts, so leaving shouldn’t be a problem for you.”
Upon hearing this, Manager Liu burst into laughter. "Now you know fear? What did you show just now? Let me tell you, none of you can leave now. Even if you do, you'll only be considered fugitives. No one can save you, no matter where you are in the world."
Wu Juan drew her long sword from her waist and brandished it. "I can't stand being too forceful! Since you put it that way, then I'm really not leaving."
"I want to see whether those people are faster or my knife is faster."
"Or the forces behind you may accelerate even further."
Then Manager Liu saw the long sword that gleamed with a cold light!
His complexion was also not good.
"You...you should put the knife away right away."
"Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble when the government officials arrive. Besides, do you even have a license to carry a knife?"
"Nowadays, even carrying a knife in Fengtian Kingdom requires a license."
Wu Juan sneered, "Although I don't have any identification, I'm not afraid. After all, even an old man like you isn't afraid of the law, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
As he retreated, Manager Liu kept a wary eye on the long sword.
"Let me tell you, the person behind me is someone you can't afford to mess with."
"If you know what's good for you, I can let you leave right now."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Lin Ru watched quietly as Manager Liu spouted nonsense, without uttering a sound or revealing her identity.
She wanted to see how the government officials would act.
Soon, the thug led a group of people and rushed over.
The leader was an old man with a long beard.
Judging from his appearance, he must be quite old.
When Manager Liu saw the old man, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Master Chen! Why did you come in person?"
When Master Chen saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but frown.
"What exactly is going on?"
Before Manager Liu could speak, the little girl immediately rushed to Master Chen's feet and began to recount the injustices they had suffered, and why Wu Juan and the others had beaten those thugs.
Master Chen looked at Manager Liu with a cold expression, and then personally helped the little girl up.
"Little girl, don't worry. If what you say is true, the magistrate will definitely stand up for you."
Manager Liu was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"Master Chen, what are you talking about? How can you believe the nonsense of a mere girl!"
"Let me tell you, the truth is this..."
But before Manager Liu could finish speaking, Clerk Chen interrupted him, "Manager Liu, you don't need to talk to me about right and wrong. The magistrate will judge for himself!"
"Guards, arrest all these people involved in this matter and take them back."
Lin Ru watched as they were arrested, and then followed the crowd toward the county government office.
As soon as their group arrived at the county government office, they were stopped at the gate by a group of yamen runners.
"This is a government-controlled area. You should all disperse now."
"Your Excellency will not wrong an innocent person, nor will he let a guilty person go unpunished. You can rest assured."
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the people left one after another.
Some people stayed behind because they were worried about the little girl.
I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to help?
Lin Ru saw that the person at the door looked fierce and menacing.
He walked to the side gate of the government office, then leaped in and easily walked inside.
However, when they arrived at the place where the hall was to be opened, they did not see anyone.
As they were pondering this, they suddenly heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside the government office.
They quickly went over to where the fighting was taking place.
Then I saw a group of people surrounding Wu Juan, Wu Fei, and that little girl.
Meanwhile, Manager Liu continued to fan the flames from the sidelines.
"Your Honor, you saw it for yourself. These people are definitely spies from an enemy country, trying to incite the people. I have clearly done nothing wrong, yet this little girl is framing me with nothing but baseless accusations. Moreover, these two people next to me don't even have identification, yet they are carrying knives and trying to kill me. What else could they be but spies?"
The magistrate frowned. The people in front of him were too suspicious, making him think twice. But the shopkeeper Liu beside him was even more troublesome. He had heard that this man had a lot of power behind him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to thrive in their county.
The restaurant he owns is the largest restaurant in this county.
No matter what happens, his restaurant will always stand strong in this place!
It's incredibly troublesome to deal with.
Seeing this, Lin Ru also revealed her figure.
"You audacious madman!"
"How dare they cause trouble at the county government office!"
Lin Ru looked at the magistrate who was shouting angrily!
He realized that he didn't have anything special on him that would immediately reveal his identity to those people.
Unfortunately, we have no choice but to suppress them with force for now.
So after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the situation was brought under control.
The county magistrate, however, appeared determined to fight to the death.
