Chapter 1180: Extremely Happy
If the hard approach doesn't work, then try the soft approach and use reason.
Jiang Lianzhu said:
"You didn't move your lips? How dare you threaten me in front of me? Who do you think you are? Or perhaps, you have too much money, which has given you the courage to act so recklessly? It seems that eight thousand taels of compensation is still a little too little for you."
Zhao Biaotou's face turned pale.
"Who, who will pay eight thousand taels of silver?"
Jiang Lianzhu looked at him like an idiot.
"Of course it's you!"
Zhao Biaotou had a miserable face.
"But who, who would pay so much money for hitting someone?"
Even if someone was killed, an ordinary citizen would only get one thousand taels at most. Even if someone had a certain status, two or three thousand taels would be more than enough.
Jiang Lianzhu:
"You can't pay so much for hitting someone else, but the person you hit is related to me, so naturally I have to pay this much!"
Zhao Biaotou was stunned.
Slowly, fear appeared on his face.
The crowd roared again.
The people at Zhenyuan Escort Agency were extremely happy.
The crowd watching also shouted that it was exciting and very enjoyable.
"I, I don't accept it! They are definitely not injured, no, they are definitely not injured that seriously! You deliberately framed them! I want to ask a doctor to verify it!" Zhao Biaotou shouted.
Jiang Lianzhu was not panicked at all.
"Yes, please go ahead! But you are not allowed to leave this place."
What was the point of creating a few fake injuries? She only needed to transfer a little magical power into the two of them and make some minor adjustments. A normal doctor would come and check and find that their pulses were disordered and they were barely breathing, with no chance of survival for more than three days.
Witch power is an extremely rare power in Qianlong Continent, and ordinary practitioners may not be able to find out its true nature.
Seeing her confident look, Zhao Biaotou couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Could it be that this old man and this child are really so weak that they cannot stand being beaten?
At this time, Captain Wu spoke again.
"Elder Xuan, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I didn't hit any of them. I admit that I was a little biased, but I didn't have time to do it! Look..."
Jiang Lianzhu:
"That's because I didn't make it in time. What if I was still in time? What if I was a little late? What's more, you accused me of rebellion right away. That's really slick! You do this a lot, don't you?"
Captain Wu was shocked.
"No, no, listen to me. I was angry and impulsive. Even if you hadn't come today, the county magistrate would have investigated the situation and would have known that there was no rebellion. He wouldn't have wrongly accused anyone..."
Jiang Lianzhu sneered,
"Should I thank you for your comfort?"
Captain Wu was about to cry.
He knew better than anyone present who the elder of the Divine Medicine Sect was. If he could not gain the other party's forgiveness, his life would be over.
The position of head constable is pretty good, and there is no shortage of people who respect him. He wants to work there for a few more years.
"Elder Xuan, no matter what, I haven't caused any bad consequences. I have parents and children to take care of, so please let me go! If you are not satisfied, I am willing to compensate the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. I am willing to compensate..."
"You don't need to pay compensation, just be obedient!"
Jiang Lianzhu remained unmoved.
Sympathy is necessary, but it should never be given to the enemy.
Everyone found it strange that the person who should be compensated did not want to, while the person who should not be compensated wanted to. It was really eye-opening.
Jiang Lianzhu was thinking about another problem.
The two men were jumping around all the time, but the real person involved, Boss Hu, didn't say a word, like an outsider.
It's so weird.
Just when everyone was thinking different things, the county magistrate arrived with his men.
The county magistrate himself rode a horse, and more than twenty runners behind him were running breathlessly, which showed that their efficiency was not low.
"Where are the rebels? Why don't you surrender to this county immediately?!"
He actually had a clear view of the scene, but shouting like this first would undoubtedly be more powerful.
Jiang Lianzhu waved at him,
"Here."
When she was in Zhongyuan Continent, she was already a person above ten thousand people, so she didn't care about this little scene at all.
“Bold!”
The county magistrate was a little surprised. What a bold female thief! She actually dared to challenge him directly!
Thinking of what the two people who reported the news said, that this female thief was very powerful and the captain was like a toy in her hands, he shouted again:
"Flank them from both sides and surround this county. Don't let the rebels escape!"
More than twenty officers shouted, drew their swords, and quickly surrounded them.
The onlookers were so scared that they quickly stepped back, fearing that they would get into trouble.
The people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency also looked worried. With such a big fight, it might not end well!
But there was someone more worried than them.
Captain Wu jumped up like a rabbit, ran quickly to the county magistrate, and knelt down with a thud.
"Master! Master! This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! There are no traitors here..."
The county magistrate glared.
"Didn't you say there were rebels? I rushed here in a panic, and you said it was a misunderstanding? What misunderstanding was there?"
Captain Wu almost cried.
The reason why he sent someone to say this was just to highlight the seriousness of the matter. But now, the matter is serious, but this seriousness is only for him!
He immediately told the identity of that person, and the county magistrate's eyes widened.
At this time, Jiang Lianzhu also asked Xiaodan to hand over the badge.
She was not a domineering person. After all, the county magistrate was an official appointed by the imperial court, so she should give him some face.
The county magistrate took the badge and looked at it. Without hesitation, he hurriedly took two steps at a time and trotted to Jiang Lianzhu, bowing deeply.
"I am Huang Ye, the humble servant. I greet Elder Xuan! I was unknowingly deceived by Constable Wu before. I apologize for any offense. Elder, please forgive me!"
He bent his back to 90 degrees, showing great respect.
The Qianlong Continent is vast, with countless countries, large and small. I'm afraid no one can tell exactly how many countries exist now.
But there are only a few top sects.
These sects gather the vast majority of powerful people, and their influence often spans multiple countries. These countries basically acquiesce in the transcendent status of these top sects.
You have no choice but to admit it. It is entirely determined by strength.
The elders of the Divine Medicine Sect may not have any influence over the county magistrate, but even the emperor has to weigh their words. Some officials even take the elders' words as their guiding principles. How could he, a mere county magistrate, afford to offend them?
Not to mention the elders of the Shen Yao Sect. Many people are begging them for help, so they cannot be offended.
The people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency were relieved to see the county magistrate being so respectful.
The signboard of the Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect is unexpectedly effective!
Seeing that he was so tactful, Jiang Lianzhu naturally didn't pursue what happened just now.
"Elder Xuan, I have basically understood the whole story. Boss Hu's loss is entirely his own fault, and the Zhenyuan Escort Agency cannot be blamed! As for Captain Wu and Captain Zhao, they have offended you. Once I have investigated the matter, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
