Chapter 304: Want to buy this general’s head?
When Xiao Minglou heard this, he immediately became furious, but he still held the long sword in his hand to block Bai Wei behind him, his face stern and a little angry: "You are a good Yicheng County Magistrate, you are really a corrupt official, coming here and arresting people without even asking any questions!"
The Yicheng County Magistrate snorted coldly: "You are holding a long knife, there is blood on the ground, and there are even severed hands of Yicheng citizens. Why can't I arrest you?"
Xiao Minglou snorted coldly: "He intended to insult a decent woman in the street. According to the laws of Dongqin, he deserves it even if I chop off his head. Why do you want to arrest me?"
The Yicheng County Magistrate sneered: "What evidence do you have to accuse him of insulting a decent woman? When I came here, I only saw you committing a crime with a knife!"
Xiao Minglou: “You!”
If it were an ordinary day, he would have chopped off the county magistrate and then returned to the emperor to apologize.
But now he has to accompany his cousin to southern Xinjiang, and he has a heavy responsibility and cannot act recklessly.
What should he do?
There is no way. I don’t use my brain enough in normal times, so I can’t rely on it when the critical moment comes.
Bai Wei walked out from behind Xiao Minglou, her eyes calm but determined.
"I saw it all! I saw it all clearly. Zhang Wang first angered the girl's father to death, and then forced the girl to be his wife or concubine. The girl didn't want to, so he wanted to humiliate the girl in the street, and even incited his men to humiliate the girl together. His viciousness and absurdity are simply outrageous!"
When the Yicheng County Magistrate heard Bai Wei speak, he frowned slightly and gently stroked his goatee with his hand: "Looking at the way you two are so intimate, you must be in the same group, right? How can I believe your testimony?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the pride on Zhang Wang's face became even more obvious.
The next second, he rushed directly to the Yicheng County Magistrate, and said with a wronged and pitiful look on his fat face: "Brother-in-law, don't listen to the nonsense of that little girl. They directed and acted all this just to frame me!"
After saying that, he pointed at the woman who was still held by his gangsters and said, "It was that woman. She seduced me first, and then she teamed up with her father to set me up. I just didn't want to be defrauded by her, so I resisted and accidentally pushed this sick guy. Look at him, he looks half dead. He is deliberately using his own life to blackmail me!"
Then he pointed at Xiao Minglou and Bai Wei and said, "And them, they attacked my brother as soon as they arrived, and even chopped off his hands in an attempt to threaten and intimidate him. They must be in cahoots with the father and daughter who set up the trap. Such cruel and terrifying criminals, brother-in-law, you must seek justice for me!"
The Yicheng County Magistrate continued to stroke his beard and said, "Do you have any witnesses?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course!" After saying that, Zhang Wang looked at the people around him and said, "Tell me, is what I just said true? Come on, have a good talk with my brother-in-law!"
Zhang Wang's lackeys immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, what Master Wang said is true! I saw it clearly, the woman first deliberately seduced him, and then the old man deliberately blackmailed him!"
"Yes, there are also these two people. They attacked and injured people as soon as they arrived. This is simply unreasonable!"
"Please arrest these two men, sir. Otherwise, more people in Yicheng will surely be harmed!"
"I also ask the county magistrate to arrest these two people and execute them immediately to appease the public anger!"
"..."
The Yicheng County Magistrate looked at Bai Wei coldly, his eyes full of pride: "Did you see it? Did you hear it? These are all accusations against you. What you did was vicious, absurd and outrageous!"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows: "The county magistrate just said that my brother and I were in the same group, so my confession doesn't count. Then can't the county magistrate see that these people are in the same group with Zhang Wang?"
The Yicheng County Magistrate paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Zhang Wang is just an ordinary person. How could he bribe so many people? This is clearly an excuse for you to make up your mind!"
Bai Wei sneered: "Whether it is an excuse or not, the county magistrate knows it in his heart."
The magistrate of Yicheng County was exposed, and finally a trace of anger appeared on his face. Bai Wei naturally knew what he was thinking and what he wanted to do, so she would not let him say what he wanted to say, and interrupted him directly.
"I asked Zhang Wang to invite the county magistrate not because I wanted him to do justice, but because I wanted to see if the two of you had been colluding with each other. Now it seems that you are indeed a bunch of snakes and rats. So today I can feel at ease to deal with you as well!"
As Bai Wei spoke, she walked directly to the girl who was still imprisoned by Zhang Wang's men, then took out the silver needle without hesitation and stabbed the thug with it.
The thug only felt a stinging pain and subconsciously loosened his hand. He was about to attack Bai Wei with anger in his eyes, but Xiao Minglou stepped forward and kicked the man five meters away.
The thug fell directly to the ground and could not get up anymore. It was unclear whether it was because of Bai Wei's anesthetic injection or because of Xiao Minglou's kick.
Bai Wei: "..."
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have used the anesthetic needle...what a waste!
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that no matter whether it was Zhang Wang's thugs or the yamen runners brought by the Yicheng County Magistrate, they were not even opponents to Xiao Minglou.
It's easy to destroy these garbage, but it's difficult to make these numb and indifferent hearts beat again.
Zhang Wang was a tyrant, licentious and vicious man. The magistrate of Yicheng County was incompetent and protected criminals. The capital was not far from Yicheng, only a few days' journey away.
However, no one dared to appeal, no one dared to speak, and even when Zhang Wang proposed to pay someone to bully the woman, some people actually showed an eagerness to try. This in itself was an extremely scary thing!
Therefore, today she wanted to show everyone in front of everyone that there was justice in this family, and that good and evil would eventually be distinguished.
This is to tell those who are persecuted that there is still justice in this world, and they should never give up fighting for themselves and for injustice. It is also to warn those who are corrupted by evil, trying to indulge their evil thoughts and turn themselves into another thug, but have not yet taken that step.
The magistrate of Yicheng County finally reacted, with a vicious look in his eyes: "How dare you threaten me? Come, kill all these thugs. Whoever cuts off this woman's head will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"
"Yes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of greed and viciousness appeared on the faces of the yamen runners.
Bai Wei chuckled and said, "The county magistrate is really poor. He wants to buy my head with only fifty taels?"
The magistrate of Yicheng County was slightly stunned: "General? Who are you?"
There is only one female general in the entire East Qin, and she is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites Bai Qian, and the granddaughter of Zhennan King Xiao Ling. If the woman in front of him is really him, and he said so many vicious words in front of her, wouldn't he be completely...finished?
No, it won't!
Rumor has it that the female general had already fallen off the cliff. Although her face was healed some time ago, she had lost all her martial arts skills. And she obviously didn't have any guards with her today. As long as he killed her now and quietly erased all traces of her coming to Yicheng, no one would know about this matter anymore!
"You daring thief, not only did you commit a crime in the streets of Yicheng, you even dared to impersonate the number one female general of Dongqin. You are simply committing treason and deserve death! Everyone listen to my order, kill him immediately. Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver by this county magistrate!"
