Seeing County Magistrate Wu's attitude, Ministry Councillor Liu was angry and anxious at the same time. However, he knew these things very well, and he could roughly understand what County Magistrate Wu was thinking.
"Master County Magistrate, there is a dog in my prefecture who brought back the pill. It is said that when an Immortal cultivator eats it, they can increase the number of Cultivation Levels. When ordinary people eat it, they can extend their lifespan. Furthermore... No matter how serious the injury was, as long as they took this medicine... I will get someone to give it to Lord County Magistrate another day. " Ministry Councillor Liu said with some pain in his voice.
The pill in his mouth had a high status. He had it at home, but just like he said... He only had one pill like this. He was usually reluctant to eat it. He thought about saving it for the most critical moment. From the introduction of this pill, it could be seen that this pill was not an ordinary item. Even he only had that one ___. Naturally, he was unwilling to eat it.
However, in order to make County Magistrate Wu attack Huang Feng and the others... He had no choice but to take out the pill, because he knew that this was the only thing that could be used. In order to take revenge on Huang Feng and his son, no matter the price, County Magistrate Wu was willing to pay it.
Furthermore, although this pill was precious, his son was the disciple of an elder of the Star Moon Sect. He would have the chance to obtain this pill in the future. Therefore, although Ministry Councillor Liu felt pain in his heart, he still chose to take it out.
Sure enough, after County Magistrate Wu heard this, his eyes lit up even more. They even became more anxious. He lost his composure and asked, "Is there really such a pill?"
"I dare not lie to Lord County Magistrate. My Prefecture does indeed have this pill." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"Very good, very good." County Magistrate Wu clapped his hands and smiled, not hiding his desire for this pill. Such a good thing could only be encountered by chance. He did not want it to be because he did not need to be reserved. He would miss out on such a pills.
In fact, County Magistrate Wu had hidden injuries on his body. He had not been able to treat it for so many years. Now that he had encountered such a pill, he would naturally be tempted. In addition, consuming this pill could prolong one's life and increase one's lifespan. That was everyone's dream. He, County Magistrate Wu, was a mere mortal, so he naturally could not avoid being vulgar. This was not the time to care about face. He wished that Ministry Councillor Liu could send someone back right now. Bring the pill over.
However, County Magistrate Wu also knew that since the other party had invested so much, it would obviously depend on his actions. If he couldn't satisfy the other party, the other party might regret it.
Fortunately, the person he was dealing with this time wasn't some big shot. He was just an ordinary person who knew how to farm crops. Dealing with an ordinary person like this could be exchanged for a pill like this. No matter how one looked at it, this deal was definitely worth it.
"Then Master County Magistrate..." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"No problem, no problem." County Magistrate Wu naturally knew what the other party meant. "Your son is a citizen under my rule. Now that he has been seriously injured by evil people, as a local parent official, I naturally want to seek justice for your son."
After saying that, County Magistrate Wu stood up and shouted, "Someone come!"
After that, a few Yamen walked in. County Magistrate Wu ordered, "All constable, move out together and go to the Yuelai Inn to catch the evil men!"
County Magistrate Wu also knew how powerful Huang Feng was. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so he decided to bring all the constable along.
"Yes!" The few Yamen went down to gather the others.
On the other side, Ministry Councillor Liu had a satisfied smile on his face. However, he had already cursed in his heart. This County Magistrate Wu really knew about what happened in the afternoon. Furthermore, he had sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Huang Feng and the others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told them where Huang Feng and the others lived. County Magistrate Wu already knew that Huang Feng and the others were staying at the Yue Lai Inn.
However, he still needed the help of the other party. Therefore, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything and couldn't expose the other party.
"Ministry Councillor Liu, we'll just wait here for the good news." After County Magistrate Wu gave the order, he sat down again and looked at Ministry Councillor Liu with a smile.
"Alright." Ministry Councillor Liu said, "However, that group of people are very strong. They do not care about the consequences of their actions. I am afraid that they will not surrender without putting up a fight."
"Can they still resist the Imperial Court?" County Magistrate Wu said nonchalantly.
In his opinion, Huang Feng and the others were just ordinary people who knew martial arts. If that was the case, perhaps they would rely on their own abilities. They would bully others, but they wouldn't dare to go against the Imperial Court. And he was now representing the Imperial Court. Unless Huang Feng and the others wanted to rebel... Otherwise, they would have to obey obediently.
"I hope so." For some reason, Ministry Councillor Liu still felt that this matter shouldn't be so simple.
Sure enough, in less than two hours, those Yamen who were sent out had all returned. However, there was no trace of Huang Feng and the others behind them. As for these Yamen, each of them had a swollen face. They were in a sorry state.
"What's going on? Where is he?" When County Magistrate Wu saw the situation, he stood up in shock and asked. Could it be that it was really as Ministry Councillor Liu had said, those people actually dared to resist?
"That person refused to come. He even said that if Master County Magistrate wants to see him... He went to the inn to look for him, and we want to forcefully bring him back. In the end, we were all beaten up by him. " The leader of the officers said. He was the strongest among them. But now, he was also the one who suffered the most injuries.
"It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" County Magistrate Wu was furious when he heard this. He didn't expect Ministry Councillor Liu to have guessed it right. Those people were simply too daring, to actually be arrested. And they even wanted him to see him.
However, other than being angry, there seemed to be no other way. These people were all Yamen and constable. None of them could bring Huang Feng back. In that case, he wouldn't be able to send more people.
"Lord County Magistrate, those people clearly don't put you and the Imperial Court in their eyes. This is no different from committing treason. That's a capital offense!" Ministry Councillor Liu said from the side.
"That's right. These bastards will be beheaded!" County Magistrate Wu said angrily. Now, he didn't want to capture Huang Feng and the others just because of Ministry Councillor Liu. Simple! Because of him, he had to punish Huang Feng and the others severely.
"Master County Magistrate, actually, I don't mind whether those people are alive or dead. It's good to be able to catch them alive. If it doesn't work, it's good to be dead." Ministry Councillor Liu said unhurriedly.
At this time, there were only the two of them in the room. He didn't mind saying some private things.
"What do you mean?" County Magistrate Wu was stunned.
"Master, you should know that I hate those people. I want to kill them right now. So, if they become dead, I can't wait to see them again." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"You want to kill them?" County Magistrate Wu asked.
"Why not?" Ministry Councillor Liu said, "Those people caused trouble first, and now they're being arrested. It's no different from a rebellion. It was a capital offense. Even if they were killed, it should be nothing, right? Besides, didn't we kill them to avenge our lord? "
Initially, Ministry Councillor Liu wanted to use County Magistrate Wu to capture Huang Feng and the others. Then, he would find a way to torture and kill them. But now... Huang Feng and the others had actually arrested them and refused to come to the yamen. In this way, it would be convenient for him to place charges against Huang Feng and the others. Killing them directly had also achieved his objective. However, the only regret was that he couldn't kill Huang Feng and the others with his own hands.
"This..." County Magistrate Wu hesitated. After all, he was an official appointed by the Imperial Court. Although he was very angry with Huang Feng and the rest's actions, after they were captured, they would also be convicted. However, that could only be done after the interrogation. He had no right to sentence Huang Feng and the others to death.
"Master County Magistrate, if you do this, there will not be any trouble afterwards. They were the ones who arrested them first, and this crime exists. Then everything can be explained. " Ministry Councillor Liu said, "And if this matter cannot be resolved, not only County Magistrate will not be able to vent his anger. Furthermore, I am afraid that I will not be able to give that pill to Sir."
Obviously, this was a blatant threat from Ministry Councillor Liu. However, the effect of his threat was pretty good. Because, that pill was truly precious, and it was indeed worth it for County Magistrate Wu to take some risks. After all, he really needed that ___.
Furthermore, just like what Ministry Councillor Liu had said, it was Huang Feng and the others who arrested him first. At that time, he could totally tell the upper hand that it was during the process of capturing Huang Feng and the others. Huang Feng and the others had resisted, which was why he had no choice but to kill Huang Feng. If that was the case, perhaps he would be questioned. But... It wouldn't be too much of a sin, nor would it affect his promotion.
"It's just that those scoundrels have great skills. My people aren't their match either." County Magistrate Wu said.
Hearing County Magistrate Wu's words, Ministry Councillor Liu knew that his opponent was tempted. He quickly said, "As the saying goes, an open spear is easy to dodge, but an arrow in the dark is hard to defend against. Sir's men are indeed not a match for them. But we can do it secretly. "
"What exactly should we do?" County Magistrate Wu asked.
"Arson!" Ministry Councillor Liu said coldly. He had just come up with this idea.
"Arson?" County Magistrate Wu was shocked.
"That's right, we'll let him go. We'll burn down that Yuelai Inn. After burning them inside, Master County Magistrate ordered his men to set up an ambush in the outer perimeter. It would be best if they died inside. If they weren't burned to death... They must have been injured as well. At that time, they would rush forward. I will definitely kill them. I will also ask family servant to help me." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
