Xuexue couldn’t help but mock, "The Manor Master is really smart; when you can’t win, you call the governnt office for help!"
The Manor Master felt sowhat smug and said, "Let tell you, the county magistrate here is my brother-in-law. I advise you to surrender willingly and not resist, or you won’t get away with it."
Xuexue looked at Long Rui and said coquettishly, "Husband, when officials and rchants collude, how should it be handled?"
"That depends on whether they have done anything bad."
"What if they gang up to slander us?"
"Kill without rcy."
"That’s good."
The two of them continued to talk nonchalantly.
The Manor Master beca impatient, curled his lips, and said, "Who do you think you are, talking about ’kill without rcy’."
"Brother-in-law, what happened? Why did you call here with people?"
A man’s voice rang out at the entrance.
Everyone turned to look, only to see a man dressed in an official robe, about forty years old, eight feet tall, wearing an official hat, with regular features, seemingly in a hurry, appearing very tempestuous.
He was precisely the county magistrate of Xingyang City. The steward had rushed out earlier to invite him for help.
The Manor Master imdiately greeted him: "Qiangzi, you’re finally here. Did you know your niece was almost beaten to death yesterday?"
"Is that so? Who is so bold? Daring to challenge authority and provoke danger?"
The county magistrate spoke as if it was only natural.
Indeed, the brother-in-law is the richest man in Xingyang City, and he is the local county magistrate. Together, they rule the entire Xingyang City, anyone who provokes them is headed for a dead end.
The Manor Master pointed a finger at Long Rui and the others, extrely angrily said, "It’s them, these people have sinister intentions and want to kill your niece. Brother-in-law, quickly lock them up in prison and interrogate them well. Why do they treat my daughter this way? Is soone instructing them?"
The county magistrate glanced at Long Rui and the others, noticing the high-quality fabric they wore, feeling a pang of anxiety, wondering whether they were sons and daughters of wealthy families? If that is actually the case, one must not act recklessly.
Although the county magistrate was arrogant, in Xingyang City aside from his brother-in-law, he didn’t regard others highly, but he was also a ticulous person, understanding who could be offended and who couldn’t.
"Sir, looking at your unfamiliar face, where are you from?" The county magistrate circled around Long Rui.
Long Rui gave him a cold glance: "Capital City People."
The county magistrate was montarily dumbfounded, the Capital is where big figures gather, therefore, after considering for a mont, he pulled the Manor Master aside and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I see their clothing and deanor are not ordinary, and they are from the Capital, we should be cautious."
"What do you an? Are we just letting them go?"
"Not exactly, just let them pay so Silver."
"That’s nonsense, you know our family lacks is not Silver; I want Silver for what? I want to vent, take revenge for your niece, understand?"
The daughter is still lying in bed, life and death unknown. Thinking of this made him extrely angry.
"Old Master, Old Master."
At this ti, a maid-like person ran in from outside, looking as if she’d been running for a long ti, her face flushed red, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from her head.
"What’s wrong? Is the young lady’s condition worsening?" Upon seeing her, the Manor Master asked anxiously.
He recognized her as the daughter’s personal maid.
