Chapter 168 The thief shouts to catch the thief
"Listen to the people upstairs, and quickly hand over the thief, otherwise they will be punished for sheltering."
At this moment, the clamoring voice came again below.
Mu Qingling walked to the window, stared at the people below, and said in a whisper: "Thieves? I am really curious. What kind of thief is it? The county magistrate was so mobilized." Then she glanced at the middle-aged man who was protected by everyone in the center, dressed in gorgeous clothes, short and slightly fat.
With Mu Qingling's appearance, many people downstairs changed their faces one after another.
"Sir, she is the woman in the portrait sent by Zezhou." An inconspicuous man next to the Xinyang County Magistrate said in a low voice.
The Xinyang County Magistrate stared at Mu Qingling with his eyes fixed on his face, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he casually said: "This is unlikely. This woman is so beautiful, are you mistaken?"
The man snorted coldly, "As Jun Lingyi's princess, how bad do you think she will be? I warn you not to make any wrong ideas. This woman is not something you can afford to provoke."
"Isn't it just a woman who can be so powerful."
The man said disdainfully: "Hmph, just say it lightly, how capable do you think you are to fight against the Ning Prince's Mansion."
"I..." The county magistrate was silent.
The man said lightly: "It's better to do the serious business first. If you break the master's plan, you should know the consequences."
The county magistrate was also annoyed. When he heard the man's words, he immediately replied bluntly: "Don't use your master to suppress me from time to time. What should I do? Don't talk too much."
Mu Qingling's eyes slipped around the two of them and said leisurely: "It's not that I'm here to catch the thief, why did the two adults chat on their own?"
The county magistrate stepped forward and looked up and said, "I have received the news that this thief is among you. If the girl does not want to be affected by the fish pond, please do some convenience and hand over the thief."
"Haha." Mu Qingling smiled softly and said slowly: "I thought the thief mentioned by the county magistrate was this girl."
The county magistrate subconsciously asked, "What are the words of the girl?"
A hint of disgust flashed through Mu Qingling's eyes, and Liang Liang said, "I heard that the county magistrate is greedy for life and afraid of death and betrays the rebels. He should understand what I mean more than anyone else. Why would he ask me the other way around?"
"You... are arrogant. Since this thief is among you, then the master is the main culprit, and you will not be forgiven no matter what." The county magistrate glared at him and shouted in anger.
Qi Yue sneered, "It's just a thief who calls to catch the thief. Speaking of the county magistrate, this feeling of being someone else's lackey should be a different feeling."
"..." I never knew Qi Yue could be so vicious.
The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "I have turned against you, I have turned against you."
Mu Qingling's slender five fingers lightly buckle the window and said carelessly: "I would like to advise you to have some things that you can't get involved in, and the consequences are not something you can afford."
"Sir, since these thieves are so stubborn, why do you need to talk nonsense to them and take them all down?" said the average-looking man in a deep voice.
The county magistrate looked cold and said, "Come on, come and catch people in the inn."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen yamen runners immediately started to act and rushed towards the inn gate without using their hands. They kicked them away with their feet without using their hands.
In an instant, corpses were piled up, and the blood-stained lobby was presented to everyone.
"Ah, my god..." Two of the timid yamen runners almost subconsciously screamed, and retreated to the end in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the movement, the governor of Xinyang quickly walked to the inn gate. Seeing the situation inside, he took a deep breath, his face turned pale.
The governor of Xinyang closed his eyes, followed the yamen runners back a few steps, returned to his original position, and stared at Mu Qingling with a smile.
Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the first gift I specially prepared for the county magistrate. How about it? Are you still satisfied?"
"You must be the thiefs who have been wanted by the government in such a random killing of innocent people. If such a cancer is not removed in time, it will definitely harm the people." The governor of Xinyang County was so angry that he trembled and gritted his teeth and said, "Come, archers are ready."
"There are also archers." Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect that she was well prepared."
"Madam, do you want to retreat first?" Jin Yun frowned slightly. This arrow was not eye-catching. Even though they had good martial arts skills, the princess was an unarmed and weak woman. It was hard to guarantee that she would not hurt her.
Mu Qingling said lightly: "How can I leave first at such a critical moment?"
"But..." He did not forget that the prince specially transferred him to Xinyang County to ensure that the prince's concubine evacuated without any injuries.
Qiyue shook her head, "Don't worry, with us here, can we still let the thief hurt his master?"
After hearing Qiyue say this, Jin Yun couldn't continue to say more.
After a few words, the archers below were ready, and the arrows flashing with cold light were facing them, emitting a bloodthirsty light.
The governor of Xinyang County said coldly: "I'll ask you again, should you surrender or wait for being shot into a hedgehog."
Mu Qingling curled her lips slightly, "Mr. County Magistrate, do you really dare to let them ejaculate?"
Upon hearing this, the governor of Xinyang County was hesitant. The news sent by Zezhou showed that Prince Ning was going to be alive, not dead. If this arrow shot through, it would not hit Prince Ning, right?
Mu Qingling continued: "It seems that the county magistrate is a little confused... Since that's the case, I'll help you make a decision."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingling turned her wrist lightly, and a small crossbow arrow appeared in her palm. With a "click", the crossbow arrow had been winding.
When he saw the crossbow arrow in Mu Qingling's hand, the Xinyang County Magistrate was shocked. But before he could say anything, Mu Qingling's finger had already loosened. With a "swoosh", the sharp arrows of bamboo sticks were approaching him. All of this happened in an instant, and the speed was so fast that the people around the Xinyang County Magistrate had no time to rescue.
"Ah..." Li Jian passed by the arm of the Xinyang County Magistrate, bringing a smoldering blood.
"Sir..." The yamen runners around were already scared and subconsciously exclaimed.
Mu Qingling stared at the bloody arm of the Xinyang County Magistrate for a while, and then sighed regretfully: "What a pity, I lost my accuracy."
"Shoot them to death, shoot them to death."
The Xinyang County Magistrate trembled with pain, his lips were pale, he covered the bleeding wound with one hand, and shouted hysterically.
"I'll see who dares."
Qiyue, Mo Xun and others pulled out the long sword in their hands and protected Mu Qingling behind them.
