Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord Chapter 2150: Narrow Escape from Death

The Fourth Prince held the dagger firmly against his neck and said sinisterly, "If you don’t want to die, hurry up and tell , what exactly is that thing?"

County magistrate: "It’s... it’s... a hairpin."

Fourth Prince: "A hairpin?"

County magistrate: "Yes, a man’s hairpin."

Standing behind the county magistrate, the Fourth Prince was startled. If the county magistrate was telling the truth, Long Rui had indeed gotten hold of a leverage against him.

Because the personal items of the Princes of the current dynasty each have their unique insignia: even if they are lost, anyone who sees them will imdiately know which Prince they belong to. If Long Rui really has his hairpin in his hand, his situation truly is perilous.

A sliver of cold light flashed in the Fourth Prince’s eyes. He asked, "Have you seen that hairpin?"

The county magistrate stamred, "I haven’t had the chance to see it; it was taken by the Prince."

"Really, don’t lie to . If I find out, you will die a horrible death."

"Really, hero, I’m not lying to you."

"Tonight, I’ll spare you for now. If I find out you’ve deceived , watch your vile life." After speaking, the Fourth Prince gave the county magistrate a forceful shove and leaped away.

The county magistrate collapsed instantly to the ground, scared to death. It was the first ti in his life he had a knife held to his throat.

"Old Master, Old Master, are you alright?" The madam hurriedly got out of bed, trembling as she lit the oil lamp and, quaking, helped the county magistrate to sit on a chair.

"What happened? Old Master, you’re injured." Seeing the small bloodstain on the county magistrate’s clothes, the madam was frightened.

"Luck saved a life, that’s not too bad, don’t be alard." The county magistrate, regaining his composure, reached to touch the cut on his neck. The wound was shallow, only a scrape.

"It bled, is that a small matter?" The madam took out the dicine box from under the bed and helped to bandage the county magistrate’s wound.

The county magistrate touched the fabric around his neck, feeling a lingering fear, and said, "The Prince’s foresight was truly remarkable. He even predicted the murder demon would co knocking."

The madam, scared to the core, shrieked, "What? That was the murder demon just now?"

County magistrate: "Correct, otherwise, why would he ask what I found on the steward? Besides the murderer, who would care? So, that was definitely the murder demon."

The madam lanted, "Old Master, why didn’t you call soone to catch him? The Emperor set a deadline, and if the case isn’t solved by then, you’re dood."

County magistrate felt helpless, in that situation, how could he think of catching soone? He was already lucky not to be killed.

"Madam, don’t worry, I’ve already led the murder demon to the War Prince. The War Prince is highly skilled in martial arts, he will surely catch him."

The madam looked doubtful, "How do you know he will go to the War Prince? The murder demon isn’t foolish; he knows the War Prince’s high martial skills, why would he go to his death willingly?"

The county magistrate shook his head proudly, "I told him just now, the hairpin is with the Prince. To reclaim evidence, he will surely take the risk. By then, the Prince will definitely catch him easily, ouch...!"

The county magistrate was too proud and inadvertently twisted the injured spot on his neck, grimacing from the pain.

"Look at you, almost lost your life, yet so proud, truly unbelievable." The madam helped him back to bed, "Don’t think too much, just rest!"

"No way, no way, lying here isn’t restful. I need to quickly call the governnt officials to patrol. This is too outrageous, soone barges in and I didn’t even know, nearly lost my life because of it."
