Chapter 172 - 172 Going to the Government Office
172 Going to the Government Office
Unfortunately, this constable had miscalculated.
He met Ning Yue.
Putting aside Ning Yue’s identity, Ning Yue was not someone who would suffer a loss. This person should have really paid attention to his adversary.
“Back to the government office, right? I hope you can still be so unyielding when we reach the government office,” Ning Yue said coldly.
Jiang Ying did not say a word, but he followed Ning Yue closely and expressed his intentions.
“Oh? You raised a money boy. Not bad,” Huang Shan said with a sneer.
Money boy? Ning Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying looked faintly angry.
Originally, he wanted to get someone to take this constable away.
However, on second thought, he decided to meet the county magistrate first and see if he knew what his subordinates had done. If he did, he would definitely be severely punished. If he did not know, he would be incompetent. He would not be severely punished, but he would inevitably be punished.
When the people at the side saw that Ning Yue was going to the government office, they came over to persuade her.
“Miss, listen to me. This man is a constable from the county office and the county magistrate’s brother-in-law. You won’t get away with messing with him.”
“That’s right. Why don’t you pay up first? How can the county magistrate listen to you if you go up like this?”
“That’s right, girl. In any case, he works for the magistrate. You won’t get anything out of it.”
Hearing the surrounding people’s advice to Ning Yue, Huang Shan smiled proudly.
See, his deterrence was so great. He had done it for nothing.
Ning Yue didn’t say anything. She just looked at Huang Shan.
Seeing Ning Yue like this, the people at the side could not help but say, “You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
“Stop persuading her. Stop persuading her. This girl won’t listen. If she had listened, she would have lost money just now.”
“Maybe she has a powerful background. She’s going to the county office on purpose.”
Someone in the crowd suddenly said this, and the noisy voices instantly fell silent.
Obviously, Huang Shan had also heard their discussion. His expression darkened. “Who are you?”
“Who can I be? Aren’t I just an ordinary villager?” Ning Yue said.
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Huang Shan couldn’t help but size up the clothes Ning Yue was wearing.
It wasn’t good fabric, but it wasn’t ordinary. It was normal for this woman to be able to afford such fabric when she opened a shop.
Therefore, Huang Shan judged that Ning Yue was just an ordinary businessman.
He snorted. “In that case, come back to the county office with me.”
As he spoke, Huang Shan waved his hand. A few constables outside the crowd immediately went forward and surrounded Ning Yue and Jiang Ying.
“Why, Constable Huang? Are you planning to escort us back?” Jiang Ying said coldly.
Jiang Ying looked at Huang Shan sharply, making him shiver.
This person’s aura was very powerful, making Huang Shan pay more attention.
He glanced at Jiang Ying. The fabric on Jiang Ying’s body looked very ordinary and there was nothing special about it. However, it was impossible for ordinary villagers to have such an aura. Huang Shan did not get anyone to escort them.
“I’m just worried that you’ll run away so I will get someone to escort you.” After Huang Shan finished speaking, he waved his hand and the group of people immediately pushed Jiang Ying and Ning Yue forward.
Ning Yue was caught off guard and staggered, almost falling to the ground. If not for Jiang Ying quickly supporting Ning Yue, she would have really hurt herself.
“Constable Huang, we’re not prisoners. If you do this again, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Huang Shan, who was originally more cautious, instantly flew into a rage when he heard Jiang Ying’s words.
“Hmph! I want to see how rude you can be. Someone! Tie him up!”
Before those people attacked, Jiang Ying gestured.
Although Ning Yue could not understand what Jiang Ying’s gesture meant, she knew that Jiang Ying had his own thoughts and was certain that this Huang Shan was dead meat.
Jiang Ying did not say anything when he was tied up. Soon, a group of people left the wine shop with the corpse.
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads regretfully.
They did not believe that the wine in the wine shop could kill people. After all, Zhu Yu was notorious.
“What a pity about the wine shop.”
“That’s right. It’s not easy to drink such cheap good wine. Life will be boring again in the future.”
Everyone discussed for a while and left one after another, as if the fact that Ning Yue had been taken away was just a small interlude.
