Chapter 127 Uprooting

Under the night.

Chaoyang County, behind the county government office.

In a room with dim lights.

A middle-aged man in a constable outfit was standing by with his head bowed and his ears lowered.

This man was the county government constable who captured the woman in the bamboo hat and Shen Lingjun today, Xie Yongan.

He was also the cousin of Xie Yongqing, the owner of the small town restaurant!

After learning that something happened in the small town restaurant, Xie Yongan received the tip-off immediately, and then led people to block the road to Xunyang County and captured the two women.

Not far in front of Xie Yongan, a calm figure sat quietly, dressed in plain clothes, with a calm breath, and it was the county magistrate of Chaoyang County.

Wang Shi.

Although Chaoyang County is a small county, it is next to Xunyang County, so this small county naturally benefits from it. Wang Shi, a small county magistrate, has different powers from ordinary county magistrates.

Chaoyang County is geographically important. As a must-pass road connecting the north and south of the dynasty, the economy of this small county is not bad. And being able to become the magistrate of Chaoyang County, Wang Shi's backing is naturally not weak.

At this time, in this room.

Xie Yongan lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Sir, the two women have been caught by my subordinates and are in prison. How to deal with them?"

Wang Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, expressionless: "Have the identities of these two women been found out?"

"I don't know yet. It seems that they are probably people from the underworld, not from the court..."

Wang Shi opened his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "You must know that if the matter is exposed and something happens to me, you will not have a good end!"

Xie Yongan's heart trembled, and he immediately gritted his teeth and nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find out."

He can have today's achievements, all thanks to the support of the county magistrate Wang in front of him. Without County Magistrate Wang, how could he have today's glory and wealth? If something happens to County Magistrate Wang, he will not have a good end.

"No need!"

Wang Shi looked cold and said in a cold voice: "No matter where those two women came from, since they already know our secret, they can't stay!"

Xie Yongan's eyes suddenly became fierce: "What do you mean... to cut the grass and root it out?"

"Do it cleanly!"

Wang Shi had no expression on his face and looked at him coldly: "Also, let your cousin be smarter. He almost ruined my big plan. If there is a next time, I will not forgive him!"

Xie Yongan was sweating profusely, his eyes were firm: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely warn him, there will never be a next time..."

"..."

On the eaves.

Shen Lingjun, who witnessed all the conspiracies in the room, opened her eyes in disbelief.

"This, this..."

She originally thought that she was arrested today because of Xie Yongan, the cousin of the restaurant owner. As the head of the county government, he took revenge. Shen Lingjun even thought about reporting him to the county magistrate tomorrow.

However, the scene she saw tonight made her feel cold and extremely angry.

The magistrate of Chaoyang County was actually in collusion with his subordinates? !

No, strictly speaking, the mastermind behind all this is most likely the magistrate of Chaoyang County. The so-called brothers Xie Yongan and Xie Yongqing are just helping him?

Thinking of this, Shen Lingjun was so angry that she trembled all over. She didn't expect that the magistrate, the parent official of Chaoyang County, would do such things behind the scenes!

Is he still a human? !

Shen Lingjun was so angry that she wanted to bring this dog official and the dog head of the police to justice on the spot. But in the end, reason defeated her.

Calm down!

She can't act rashly now!

More importantly...

Shen Lingjun looked up and looked to the side. Next to her, the woman in the bamboo hat listened to the conversation between the two people in the room without saying a word.

There was still no expression on her face.

Not long ago, the woman in the bamboo hat suddenly escaped from prison and took Shen Lingjun to avoid the guards in the cell. She came here quietly and happened to overhear the conversation between the two people in the room.

Shen Lingjun was indignant after hearing it, but the woman in the bamboo hat did not seem surprised. She just looked at it coldly through the eaves and tiles.

"Sister, what should we do now..."

Shen Lingjun saw that the woman in the bamboo hat beside her had not spoken, and she was a little anxious.

"What should we do?"

The woman in the bamboo hat raised her eyes and glanced at her: "What do you think we should do?"

"Of course, kill this dog official and get rid of harm for the people!"

Shen Lingjun said without thinking.

As a person who can't tolerate sand in her eyes, such a dog official will definitely not survive for half a day in her hands. If her martial arts are still there, she will definitely make this dog official beheaded on the spot.

The woman in the bamboo hat looked indifferent: "Then what?"

"What then?"

"Have you thought about the consequences after you killed him?"

Shen Lingjun was startled, and then a little confused.

Do I need to think about the consequences of killing a dog official?

As a chivalrous man, should I not be praised and applauded by the people for my bravery in eradicating a dog official who is bullying the people?

After killing this dog official, I can get away with it and hide my merits and fame... What consequences do I need to think about?

Just kill him!

The woman in the bamboo hat just glanced at her casually and said lightly: "He is the county magistrate of Chaoyang County, an official appointed by the court to maintain the peace of Chaoyang County. If you kill him casually, how much panic will it cause to the people in the county? Once the county magistrate dies, the county government will be paralyzed. What if someone with ulterior motives takes the opportunity to cause a bigger incident? "

"Besides, how can you guarantee that the next county magistrate will be an honest official? If he is still a corrupt official, will you continue to kill him?"

"There are so many corrupt officials in the world, can you kill them?"

The understatement of the woman in the bamboo hat left Shen Lingjun stunned.

She never thought about this problem!

In her eyes, right and wrong are simple. Good people deserve to live, bad people deserve to die!

Prince Na Lin Wang killed so many people, he deserves to die!

The magistrate of Chaoyang County secretly kidnapped and trafficked women, and he deserved death!

These people will kill as long as they want, death is not a pity!

As for other consequences, she never thought about it. Her thoughts have always been simple and pure, which is also the philosophy she has always adhered to as a person in the world.

Until this moment, the woman in a bamboo hat suddenly fell into confusion after these words.

Yes, there are so many evil officials in the world, can she kill them? !

Kill this one, what if the next one is still a corrupt official?

What about the next one?

After a while, Shen Lingjun came back to his senses and gritted his teeth: "Kill him, the next one may not necessarily be a bad official, but if you don't kill him, keeping this bad official will definitely harm the people, so he should be killed!"

The woman in the bamboo hat shook her head slightly: "The next one will definitely be a bad official."

Shen Lingjun looked confused and puzzled.

The woman in a bamboo hat said softly: "Chaoyang County is close to Xunyang County and is an important area. However, this county magistrate openly did such a thing under the eyes of Xunyang Prefect. Do you think... he has such courage?"

Shen Lingjun seemed to realize something, and his eyes gradually widened: "You, you mean..."

"The problem does not lie with the identity of the Chaoyang County magistrate, but with the position and the person behind the position!"

The woman in the bamboo hat spoke softly, but to the point.

As if enlightened, Shen Lingjun suddenly realized something: "You mean, there is someone behind this Chaoyang County Magistrate?"

The woman in the bamboo hat was noncommittal and said calmly: "You have a righteous heart and want to stand up for the people. It's good, but if you just kill this dog official, you can't solve the fundamental problem."

Shen Lingjun was silent, she was already a little moved at this moment.

"Then, what do you think I should do now?"

Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth: "Since there is someone behind the dog officer, they must protect each other. Is there any other way besides killing the dog officer?"

"Of course there is." The woman in the bamboo hat raised her eyes slightly and looked at the indignant Shen Lingjun in front of her. She seemed to think of something and paused: "It depends on whether you think about it or not!"

"What can I do?"

Shen Lingjun was startled, and then his face became happy: "Sister, do you have any idea? Just say... As long as we can bring these dog officials to justice and eradicate them, I can do it."

"There is indeed a way, but it is a bit dangerous."

The woman in the bamboo hat looked at her quietly: "I don't know if you dare."

"dare!"

Shen Lingjun nodded without hesitation or hesitation, with an excited expression.

…

Early morning, county prison cell.

"Oops, someone escaped from prison!"

In the cell, the panicked voice of the jailer came.

Xie Yongan walked quickly into the cell with a dark face: "What's going on?"

Looking around, he saw the two jailors who had been knocked unconscious in the cell, as well as the chain that had been pried open not far away. When he saw the lock that was almost split horizontally, Xie Yongan took a breath of cold air.

Jailbroken!

One of the two women he arrested yesterday escaped from prison. Xie Yongan was shocked and angry when he learned the news.

These two women were extremely crucial. From his cousin's mouth, he learned that these two women knew something about what they were doing secretly. If they were allowed to spread, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Where have your accomplices gone?!"

Xie Yongan stepped into the cell and stared at the woman in the bamboo hat who was the only one left in the room with a gloomy face, his tone was anxious and angry.

One ran away, and there’s still one left!

Xie Yongan, who was furious and heartbroken, didn't even think about why only one ran away!

The woman in the bamboo hat sat cross-legged, motionless, and didn't even look at him.

Xie Yongan was extremely angry, "Didn't you hear what I asked you?"

He stepped forward quickly, wanting to reach out and lift off the other party's hat. But just as he stretched out his hand, a majestic coldness suddenly hit him. The surrounding air seemed to be freezing cold for an instant. Xie Yongan shuddered subconsciously, his eyes frightened, and he woke up.

Is there something wrong with this woman? !

Xie Yongan stood there, staring at the woman in front of him in surprise. Having dealt with danger all year round, Xie Yongan is certainly not a fool. The woman in front of me seems not to be trifled with!

Xie Yongan stood there, staring at the woman with a gloomy expression.

These two women know his big secret... Once the incident comes to light, the county magistrate will definitely shift all the responsibilities to him.

By then, it will be his death!

He relied on the county magistrate to gain glory and wealth, but if something happened, he would be the scapegoat!

Thinking of this, Xie Yongan's face turned extremely ugly, and he didn't care to settle the score with her again.

"Come here, keep an eye on her. If she escapes, you can just apologize and die!!"

Xie Yongan did not dare to act rashly against the woman in a bamboo hat in front of him for the time being. After ordering someone to keep an eye on him, he turned around and left in a hurry.

He has more important things to do.

…

In Chaoyang County, there is a private house located on the outskirts of the city. Xie Yongan hurried to the back door, and after making sure no one was following him around, he stepped into the house.

This is an ordinary house. Inside the house, several burly thugs can be seen patrolling everywhere. Xie Yongan walked through the pavilion and came to a small house. The room was simply furnished. Xie Yongan came to a bookshelf and opened the secret passage. He walked into the secret passage and soon came to a basement.

In the basement, there were many fully armed guards guarding, and a few screams could be heard faintly. Xie Yongan rushed to a room and looked up to see several pretty and slender women in the basement looking at him in fear.

"Captain Xie, why are you here today?" A man came over and wondered: "It seems that today is not the delivery day?"

"Something happened, and the delivery time was advanced!"

Xie Yongan looked gloomy and glanced at the room: "How are these people?"

"Almost, some people are still not obedient... But it doesn't matter, someone will naturally discipline them after they are sold. This batch of goods is okay, there are a few good-looking ones, they should be able to sell for a good price!"

The goods they mentioned refer to the women in the room.

Xie Yongan's gloomy face relaxed slightly: "Move them all out to prevent leaving handles, and those who can't be moved, all clean up!"

"Yes!"

In the basement, there was a commotion soon, accompanied by the screams of women, and chaos.

The women detained here were all women they brought back from various channels. Most of these women were not locals, but came from all over the world, and were kidnapped and brought back by them using various means.

There are countless such shameful business transactions throughout Chaoyang County. In addition to Xie Yongqing from the small town restaurant, there are also some small gangs in the local area, who also secretly collude and protect each other.

Xie Yongan is their superior, as the head of the Chaoyang County, secretly escorting them. With this relationship with the government, they naturally become more unscrupulous. Kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, robbery... In the past few years, there are countless chaotic cases in the entire Chaoyang County, but they have all been suppressed.

In this small county, there are too many filth hidden in the darkness!

Dark and dark!

…

On the other side, the official road to the north. The weather was cold, and a carriage was driving slowly.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a red dress slowly walked out of the car.

"Saint, what's wrong?"

Ling'er followed the saint and walked out of the carriage.

Three figures appeared on the official road not far ahead, blocking the way.

The one standing in the middle was wearing a black robe, shrouded in black robes, and his appearance was unclear, and his breath was low.

Ling'er saw this and exclaimed: "Grand Elder?!"

Liu Su, who was dressed in red, looked at the Grand Elder who appeared in front of him and frowned slightly.

"Grand Elder?"

"Why are you here?"

"..."
