Chapter 379
"You're finished, I'll make my uncle put you in jail, ah..." the man shouted loudly, his voice was particularly harsh in the silent night, and his eyes stared at Shangguan Ziling and his group with viciousness.
Holly kicked him in the chest and the man screamed again.
Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but chuckle, "How dare you be so stubborn?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, and seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.
The man looked at her viciously but said nothing.
Shangguan Ziling yawned, stretched herself, and said, "How dare you look at me like that? Don't you want my eyeballs anymore?"
Qiu Kui drew out her sword and said, "Master, I will dig out his eyes."
The man was immediately frightened and peed his pants, with a pool of yellow liquid appearing under him.
Shangguan Ziling frowned, covered her mouth and nose, and said with disgust: "With such little courage, you dare to come out and rob? Ha! Tie him up. After dawn, I want to see how arrogant the county magistrate here is?" There was a hint of mockery and provocation in her tone, which clearly showed that she was full of disdain and contempt for the county magistrate.
Upon hearing this, the secret guards immediately took action. They quickly tied the man up tightly with ropes. Their movements were swift and skillful, and they were obviously well-trained elites.
Shangguan Ziling continued to go upstairs to her room to sleep. Her steps were light and calm, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.
The shopkeeper wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, but seeing that they seemed to be no simple people, he didn't say anything in the end.
As the night deepened, the lights in the inn gradually went out.
After such a commotion, Shangguan Ziling felt sleepy while lying on the bed and fell asleep unknowingly.
It was already noon the next day, but Shangguan Ziling had not yet gotten up.
Qiu Kui said, "Madam, the master hasn't woken up yet? Do you want me to go and wake him up?"
Beichen Xue was also confused. It was already noon and Zi Ling hadn't gotten up yet. She couldn't help but worry that Zi Ling was exhausted from traveling all those days.
Beichen Xue said: "Let's go and take a look together."
After saying that, they came to Shangguan Ziling's room. Beichen Xue pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at Shangguan Ziling who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, she walked over and said, "Ziling, Ziling?"
Shangguan Ziling woke up in a daze and said in a nasal voice, "Morning, Mom."
Seeing that she was fine, Beichen Xue smiled and said, "What's so early? It's already noon. Hurry up and get up. Let's go have lunch."
"Ah, is it noon already?" Shangguan Ziling rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up.
Qiu Kui brought a bowl of warm water and a soft towel. Shangguan Ziling got up from the bed, took the towel, and wiped her face carefully, as if she wanted to wash away all the fatigue from last night.
She changed into an elegant green long dress with a wide hem and exquisite patterns embroidered on it, making her look both dignified and generous.
Qiu Kui helped her comb her hair again, combing her long, shiny black hair into an elegant bun and fixing it with a jade hairpin, which looked simple yet luxurious.
Shangguan Ziling looked at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the window, opened it, and let the fresh air brush across her face. She took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
Shangguan Ziling turned around and took Beichen Xue's hand and said, "Mom, let's go downstairs and have lunch."
Beichen Xue tapped her nose and said lovingly, "Okay."
A few of them went downstairs and came to the lobby on the first floor of the inn. Dongqing had already asked the waiter to prepare the meal.
Shangguan Ziling and his group sat around the dining table and began to enjoy the food. The dishes were rich and delicious, with good color, aroma and taste, and Shangguan Ziling ate with gusto.
After dinner, Shangguan Ziling and his party left the inn. They came to the county government office, but just after taking a few steps forward, they were stopped by two yamen runners.
One of the bailiffs looked at them with disdain and said, "Go, go, go. The county magistrate is on leave today and will not hear any cases. Go back to where you came from!" His words were full of contempt and insult towards Shangguan Ziling and his group.
Shangguan Ziling's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. It seemed that the county magistrate here was used to being domineering and even the gatekeepers were so arrogant.
Even the people passing by left in a hurry, not daring to stay here for long.
Qiu Kui looked at Shangguan Ziling's face and knew she was angry. She took a few steps forward and knocked the two gatekeepers to the ground in a few moves.
A yamen runner huddled aside in pain, holding his stomach and saying, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here? Don't you want to live?"
Qiu Kui gave him a fierce look and said, "Humph, you are a fool! I think you are the one who doesn't want to live anymore and is looking for death!"
"Ah..." The yamen runner screamed in pain after being kicked by Qiu Kui.
Shangguan Ziling suppressed the anger in her heart, then walked past the two fallen yamen runners and walked straight into the county government office.
As soon as she entered the county government office, Shangguan Ziling smelled a strong smell of alcohol. She frowned and looked around, only to see a group of yamen runners staggering around in the county government office hall, some sitting on the ground, some lying on the ground, all drunk and unconscious.
Shangguan Ziling looked at this group of yamen runners and couldn't help feeling a little angry.
Shangguan Ziling was furious, her eyes were as sharp as ice knives.
"Qiu Kui, go find the county magistrate." Shangguan Ziling's voice was cold and firm, "Go and sober these guys up."
"Yes."
Dongqing brought two chairs, placed them in front of Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue, then stepped aside and waited.
After Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue sat down.
Qiu Kui started to move, she moved like the wind, passing through one room after another, and finally came to the backyard, where she saw the county magistrate and a woman lying on the bed in dishevel.
The county magistrate's face was flushed, obviously he was drunk. The woman was hiding in the corner of the bed, her face was pale, obviously she was frightened by Qiu Kui's coming in.
"You, you, who are you?"
Qiu Kui ignored the woman, walked up to the county magistrate, grabbed the shoulder and dragged him out of the bed.
The county magistrate struggled, but Qiu Kui's strength prevented him from breaking free. "Who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble!" the county magistrate shouted in horror.
Qiu Kui didn't answer his question, but threw him to the ground. "You shameless thing!" Qiu Kui cursed, "How could you do such a thing in broad daylight?"
The county magistrate lay on the ground and shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Qiu Kui carried the county magistrate and walked out.
"Ah... let me go, you are so bold, I will put you in jail," the county magistrate shouted while struggling.
Qiu Kui walked out carrying the county magistrate and threw him to the ground in disgust.
The county magistrate fell to the ground with a scream.
Qiu Kui said to Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue, "Master, Madam, this county magistrate was fooling around with a woman in bed in broad daylight."
Shangguan Ziling's face darkened after hearing this. She looked at the disheveled county magistrate on the ground and said coldly, "Are you qualified to be a parent official?"
The county magistrate finally reacted after hearing Shangguan Ziling's words. He looked up and saw the faces of Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue, with obscene eyes. They were two beautiful women.
The county magistrate staggered to his feet from the ground and said, "Hey, beauties, as long as you two follow me, I won't mind you breaking into the county government office. Don't worry, if you follow me, I guarantee you'll have good food and good drinks."
