Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 144: Execution

Back when Zhao Daoxian and the Yi Family discussed, the concubine-taking date was set for June 21st, the sumr solstice.

With the wedding date approaching, Yi Shiyin’s ability in handiwork improved significantly, and she would personally cook daily, making so snacks and dishes, which she then sent with Xiaoling.

During this ti, Chen Mo also sent so gifts in return, such as a Peach Wood Hairpin he crafted himself, perfus, and so on.

Although the two had only t once so far, there was so emotional foundation between them.

Today, Yi Shiyin, like usual, made so peach crisps and sent them with her maid Xiaoling.

But what she did not expect.

Was that in broad daylight, in the well-policed Pingting County, there would be an incident of abducting won.

In noble clans, the selection of maids is quite strict. Their physique and appearance must be pleasing to the eye, and Xiaoling, being Yi Shiyin’s personal maid, naturally has a beautiful face.

Looking at the few brawny n suddenly rushing towards her, Xiaoling’s face changed, but being a maid of a noble clan, she had seen so scenes and did not imdiately panic. She stopped her steps and nervously stared at them: "What... what do you want?"

"What do we want? My commander fancies you, young lady. From now on, you’ll enjoy endless wealth and glory," He Jinwu’s lackey said with a lewd smile.

"You dare... My master is the County Magistrate of Pingting County. If you dare act rashly, my master will surely not let you off," Xiaoling finally showed so panic.

"This County Magistrate, Master?" He Jinwu raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. This really was a blind cat eting a dead mouse. Originally, he just thought this woman looked nice and could have so fun. Now hearing this, his interest increased greatly, glancing at Xiaoling with a lascivious gaze:

"What is your master worth, do you know who I am? Take her away."

After saying this, his n reached out to grab Xiaoling.

Tap, tap, tap!

At that mont, a rapid series of footsteps ca from not far away.

The group was collectively startled, while Xiaoling showed a look of delight.

"Chief Wu, these people have ill intentions. They are bad and speak disrespectfully about my master," Xiaoling quickly ran behind Wu Mountain and the others for cover.

"What?" Wu Mountain looked surprised. Luckily, his n were watching; if sothing happened, it would be a big ss. He waved his hand broadly and said: "Take all of them to the Governnt Office for interrogation."

The constables had been keeping an eye on He Jinwu and his group, but previously they hadn’t caused trouble, and according to the laws set by the County Magistrate, they couldn’t arrest people arbitrarily.

Now it’s a case of catching them in the act.

The constables behind Wu Mountain sward forward.

He Jinwu’s five n exchanged glances, seeing a nod of seriousness and ruthlessness in each other’s eyes, then looked towards He Jinwu.

"Why be scared? With my adoptive father around, they can’t do anything outrageous. I definitely want this young lady," He Jinwu paid them no mind at all.

The five n imdiately understood, showing a nacing smile. With He Jinwu’s words, they acted recklessly.

They were Martial Artists of a graded level, how could they put these constables in their eyes? They charged straight towards them.

The city’s constables were recruited from the Qinghe Gang disciples, usually maintaining the city’s security, but in terms of combat power, they were no match for the Divine Brave Guard.

He Jinwu’s five n were like wolves among sheep, striking viciously, aiming to disable or kill their opponents, and in a few monts, more than ten constables had their limbs broken and were knocked to the ground, bleeding.

The remaining constables were frightened and backtracked. After all, they were temporarily recruited constables, expecting them to risk their lives was impossible; seeing the opponents strike so ruthlessly, they dared not act.

"Brazen robbers, daring to resist arrest." Wu Mountain was also shocked, Pingting County, under the County Magistrate’s governance, was thriving with excellent security. Since he beca Chief Constable, it was the first ti he encountered such audacious robbers, imdiately pulling out a bamboo whistle from his chest and blowing it.

Summoning reinforcents.

Nearby any constables, Divine Brave Guard, Defense Army who heard the whistle, must respond promptly.

This was written in the security regulations issued by the County Governnt Office.

It was ant to prevent disorder by Martial Artists. Martial Artists below Middle Grade, surrounded by others, no matter what, have to surrender.

Wu Mountain thought blowing the bamboo whistle would deter these villains, but they actually charged proactively at them, simply audaciously reckless.

"Quickly go." Wu Mountain’s face changed, hurriedly protecting Xiaoling to leave.

Xiaoling also realized the brazenness of the bandits, hurriedly taking the food box and running towards the Governnt Office.

...

Governnt Office.

Chen Mo had been busy with official duties all afternoon, outside the hall, the weather was already late.

Chen Mo stood up, stretching lazily.

After instructing Sun ng for a few words, he was ready to leave the city and return to the mountain village; if he didn’t go back, his sister-in-law might have grievances.

At this mont, Xiaoling rushed in hurriedly.

Because the wedding date was near, Chen Mo specifically allowed Xiaoling to co find him, without notifying him, letting her in directly.

Seeing the food box in Xiaoling’s hand, Chen Mo smiled and said: "What good food has Xiaolu made for again?"

Being a maid of a noble clan, even if there was urgent news to convey, she did not forget to first give a salute, calling out master, then saying: "Master, not good, sothing happened..."

Xiaoling recounted the incident to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo frowned. With the city’s security nowadays, soone dared to do such a thing in public and resist arrest...

This was not only a provocation to the Governnt Office but also a slap in his face.

"Where, take there."

"On Nanfang Street."

Arriving at the stable, Chen Mo mounted a horse, then reached out to Xiaoling: "Co up."

"Ah..." Xiaoling’s face turned bright red.

"Hurry up."

"Oh." Urged by Chen Mo, Xiaoling reached out her hand, and the next mont, she felt her small hand grabbed by soone, pulled onto the horse, and fell into a warm embrace. Before she could react, she heard the word "go" and they galloped away.

On the way, Xiaoling’s heart pounded wildly, and all sorts of fantasies flooded her mind.

Among them, one particular fantasy made her body tremble.

As the personal maid of the young mistress, she also had the duty of warming the bed and tidying up for the young master.

But before she could fully experience the warmth from the young master, they arrived at the place.

After getting off the horse, Xiaoling felt inexplicably a bit disappointed.

At this mont, a crowd had gathered at Nanfang Street.

Voices were coming from within.

"The murderer, hang them."

"Kill him."

"Hang them."

"Execute them on the spot."

"..."

"Everyone calm down, the county magistrate has arrived."

At this mont, a soldier from the Divine Brave Guard saw Chen Mo and shouted loudly.

"The county magistrate has arrived."

"It’s the county magistrate, make way for him."

"Everyone make way."

Seeing the county magistrate, the crowd naturally opened up a path.

Chen Mo walked in and first saw six people captured by the Divine Brave Guard, kneeling on the ground.

One of them was bound by ropes at the shoulders, hands, and feet, unable to move. On his forehead was a red number 101.

The other five also had red numbers on their foreheads, 35, 32, 34, 29, 28 respectively. Two of them were hit by arrows, bleeding profusely from their wounds.

The Divine Brave Guard surrounded them, aiming dozens of crossbows at them.

When Chen Mo’s eyes shifted to the side, he furrowed his brow.

Because he saw over a dozen constables lying on the ground, hurt to varying degrees, with four covered with white cloth, indicating they were dead.

"County magistrate, they attempted to abduct Miss Xiaoling. When we discovered them, they resisted arrest and killed Li San, Cao Ye... four individuals, injuring many of our n." Wu Mountain, supported by a constable, hobbled over to Chen Mo and said.

"Let go of , do you know who I am? Do you want to die, cough cough..."

He Jinwu struggled again, but the more fiercely he struggled, the deeper the iron hooks in his shoulders penetrated.

"Slap his face."

However, in response to He Jinwu, Chen Mo simply uttered the words "slap his face."

A Divine Brave Guard stepped forward, slapped He Jinwu twice, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He Jinwu was sowhat stunned by the beating.

Chen Mo walked over and said, "I don’t care who you are. I only ask you, did you kill these people? Did you hurt them?"

"So what if I killed them? Do you know who I am? I am He Jinwu, the adopted son of General Yuan Youchun, and Marshal Yang is my godfather. The entire Pingting County is mine. Forget about killing a few people, even if I kill dozens or hundreds, what of it? You are Chen Mo, right? Quickly release us, or when I report to my godfather, you’ll face consequences." He Jinwu spat out a mouthful of bloody foam and said grimly.

"Bold! Facing death, you still dare to speak arrogant words." A nearby Divine Brave Guard shouted.

To them, they only knew Chen Mo and followed his orders, without considering themselves part of any Celestial Master Army, nor knowing anything about Marshal Yang or General Yuan.

This is also why when Chen Mo hadn’t arrived yet, He Jinwu revealed his identity, but they didn’t pay attention.

"Who you are is not important. The important thing is you killed people. You admitted it, so as the county magistrate of Pingting County, according to the laws of Pingting County, I sentence you to death, executed imdiately."

Actually, with so many witnesses and compelling evidence, Chen Mo did not want to waste any more words. But since the law was set by him, procedures must still be followed.

"Ha ha ha." Hearing this, He Jinwu laughed instead of fearing, and said, "Sentence to death? Do you dare kill ? This ti entering the city, my godfather sent . If I don’t..."

Before finishing his sentence, the sound of a knife being drawn rang out. The mont it ended, He Jinwu’s head rolled to the ground, blood sprayed everywhere, terrifying the surrounding people.

Seeing He the Commander beheaded so abruptly, his five subordinates were frightened out of their wits and hurriedly pleaded for rcy.

But Chen Mo did not relent one bit and said, "Execute."

With those words, the Divine Brave Guard raised their knives and the five heads fell in unison.

"Hmph, a bunch of bandits dare to impersonate General Yuan’s n. Co, hang their heads at the city gates, let everyone see the fate of those who disdain the law and commit outrages, even if they are Martial Artists." Chen Mo said righteously.

"Good."

"Well killed."

"Whoever kills will be killed in return."

"Justice."
