Chapter 157 Annoys County Magistrate Cui
Chapter 157 Annoys County Magistrate Cui
County Magistrate Cui was shocked when he saw the two big pits in front of him. He pointed at the bloodstains on the ground with shaking fingers. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell that they were rabbit corpses.
“This…this…what’s going on?”
The attendants who went with him shook their heads and said they didn't know.
County Magistrate Cui kicked him and said, "Go and find out what's going on."
It is impossible to tell how this pit was created, but its power cannot be underestimated. Such a powerful thing appeared on his territory without him knowing about it. This kind of thing must not happen.
The attendant hurried to inquire about the situation.
County Magistrate Cui looked around and saw some black fragments on the ground. He looked at them carefully but had no idea what they were.
He looked at the rabbit corpses scattered all over the ground and fell into deep thought. If this thing was used in a battle between two armies, then...
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He couldn't contain his excitement and looked around, hoping that his followers would bring back the news as soon as possible.
Soon, the attendant returned and said, "Sir, according to the villagers nearby, it was caused by the man from the Roufufang next door who threw something. Mr. Zhao was also at the scene at the time."
County Magistrate Cui immediately turned around and returned to Zhaojia Village.
Mr. Zhao, the rich man, was looking at his pile of silver in the warehouse and felt sad. Thinking that all this would have to be given to others, he felt aggrieved and scolded Mr. Zhao and the housekeeper.
"Master, Master, the county magistrate has returned with his men."
Mr. Zhao Caizhu suddenly didn’t care about being sad. He had already left, so why did he come back? Did he regret it?
Zhao Caizhu ran out of the storeroom trembling with fear. Seeing the county magistrate pacing impatiently, he asked, "Sir, do you have anything else to say?"
County Magistrate Cui grabbed the collar of Mr. Zhao, frightening him to the point of peeing. "Sir, please talk nicely. Please talk nicely."
County Magistrate Cui asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's going on with that pit at the foot of the mountain in front of you?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. "Sir, I was so scared. So this is what you are asking about. It's a long story."
"Don't keep me in suspense."
Mr. Zhao patted County Magistrate Cui's hand gently and said, "Sir, please let go first."
County Magistrate Cui loosened the collar of Mr. Zhao, who was slowly adjusting his clothes. Anxiously, County Magistrate Cui stepped forward and kicked him, "Why don't you speak now?"
Seeing that County Magistrate Cui was really anxious, Zhao Caizhu immediately said, "I was just about to talk to you about this pit. The loud noise early in the morning scared me."
Mr. Zhao described in vivid detail how Jiang Yutong threatened him and how terrifyingly powerful this thing was.
County Magistrate Cui interrupted him, "Are you saying that the owner of the Softening Shop is using this to threaten you?"
"Isn't it? It's just such a small black egg, but it has such great power. To be honest, who would dare to mess with the Softening Shop with this thing? It wouldn't be a problem for the Softening Shop to get a county magistrate, let alone a county magistrate, even higher positions."
Zhao Caizhu pointed upwards, then saw County Magistrate Cui standing there with a gloomy face. He quickly slapped his mouth and said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, I was just talking nonsense, sir, don't take it to heart."
County Magistrate Cui turned and left without saying a word.
"Hey, sir, are you leaving now?"
Only the backs of County Magistrate Cui and his followers were left.
Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. County Magistrate Cui must be worried with such a big threat around him. It all depends on whether Jiang Yutong has the ability to get hold of this thing.
Suddenly, Mr. Zhao's mood improved.
County Magistrate Cui led his men towards the farm of Roufufang. Before they reached the door, they were discovered by the people from Roufufang. At this time, Jiang Yutong was still at the farm and had not left. Jiang Yutong immediately got the news.
Jiang Yutong frowned. She knew that County Magistrate Cui had brought people to Zhaojia Village. She also knew that the Ye family's carriage had just left. But she didn't know what County Magistrate Cui meant by coming here. Could it be that she was the one who discovered Ye Xiujun's matter?
Hearing that County Magistrate Cui was really leading his men to the manor, Fang Hu and the others became nervous, "Boss, what should we do now?"
Jiang Yutong waved at everyone, "Don't panic, just do what you need to do. I'll go see what's going on."
After County Magistrate Cui arrived at the door and reported, Jiang Yutong led his men out slowly. "Sir County Magistrate, how come you have time to come to the farm today?"
County Magistrate Cui looked at Jiang Yutong, whose face was full of smiles, and took a formal look at the girl in front of him for the first time.
She was so young, with a childish look on her face. She looked about the same age as his own daughter, so he underestimated her.
County Magistrate Cui also laughed. "Miss Jiang, I happened to be passing by on business. I saw the pothole on the side of the road and after asking around, I discovered it was Miss Jiang's doing, so I came here specifically to ask about it."
County Magistrate Cui came straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush with Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong didn't expect that County Magistrate Cui came to her for the grenade. He was quite quick.
Jiang Yutong laughed and said, "So that's why you came here, sir. I did dig that trap. This is a gift to Mr. Zhao for his wedding."
"I wonder if Miss Jiang could let me see this?"
Jiang Yutong shook his head. "It's really unfortunate, sir. There are no more. There are only these two. I just wanted to scare Mr. Zhao."
County Magistrate Cui's face darkened instantly, but he still patiently asked, "Then where did this thing come from?"
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "I read it in a book."
"Then please, Miss Jiang, hand over this book. This kind of thing cannot be privately owned. As long as Miss Jiang hands it over, I will report it to the court, and Miss Jiang will definitely reward you handsomely."
Jiang Yutong groaned, "Sir, this is such an unfortunate coincidence! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had, I would have given you this book. I also know that I can't keep this thing privately, so I handed it to Hades early this morning. I thought that Hades would protect the people, so it would be safer to hand it over to him."
County Magistrate Cui was completely annoyed. "Jiang Yutong, you are so bold! You are a commoner under my jurisdiction. If you don't hand this thing over to me right away, you..."
County Magistrate Cui was so angry that he started cursing.
Jiang Yutong seemed frightened. She lowered her head, tilted her head, and said in a low voice, "Sir, please calm down. I really didn't know. I thought handing it over to Hades was the same as handing it over to you."
County Magistrate Cui gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, "Then do you remember how to make it?"
Jiang Yutong shook his head. "This was done by my men. I handed it over to Hades along with the books and the people."
County Magistrate Cui turned around in a circle.
Jiang Yutong said timidly again, "Sir, how about I go to the Pluto Palace and get the recipe and the people back?"
