The bailiffs ‘faces were pale. They did not dare to make any movement at all, afraid that they would be pierced by these fragments if they took a step forward.
“I hate people who climb up to my nose. Things can only be done once or twice. Answer me, do you really want to die?”Xu Bai’s tone was very calm.
A unique killing intent emerged from his body and surrounded him.
Lock?
Ever since he had joined this circle, no one had ever dared to say this to him. Even Song De, who was in charge of these things, had explained the reason to him.
Now, these lackeys actually dared to say such words?
If he had really done something wrong, he would have admitted to locking him up. But now, he was only asking him to go over and clarify the truth. Why should he be locked up?
Who gave him the authority to lock up and arrest people without evidence, and even an official of the imperial court?
“Slap.” Xu Bai said slowly.
The puppet of the Fourth Stage moved, transforming into a gust of wind.
The next moment, the bailiff who had spoken earlier let out a miserable cry. His face was swollen and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“Are you still going to lock it?” “If you mention it again, I’ll take your heads,” Xu Bai said.”
Everyone was silent. No one dared to speak.
Xu Bai waved his sleeves and said, “Lead the way.””
With the scene just now, this group of bailiffs cowered. They were just dogs abusing their power, but now they could not even say a word.
Not long after, Xu Bai arrived at the government office under the lead of the bailiff.
Throughout the entire process, the bailiffs were silent. They had never encountered such a situation before. In the past, when they arrested people, they were extremely arrogant. No one had ever resisted. Now, it was completely different.
When Xu Bai stepped into the government office, Magistrate Tong saw this scene again, especially when he saw that one of his subordinates ‘faces was swollen on both sides. Naturally, he knew what had happened.
“Lord Xu, what a great official prestige.”
The Tong Residence Magistrate sneered.
Xu Bai placed his hand on the hilt of the Black Saber Hundred Break and said indifferently,””Compared to Lord Prefect, my official prestige is still considered small. The moment I came, I wanted to lock it up and bring me here. I want to ask what I have done?”
Lock?
Tong Manor Magistrate looked at his subordinates in astonishment.
The bailiffs nodded timidly, admitting that what Xu Bai said was true.
The Tong Residence Magistrate’s expression immediately darkened.
These subordinates had been with him for a long time and had become extremely arrogant. Did they not understand what was going on?
According to the laws of Great Chu, even an ordinary citizen could not lock the door without conclusive evidence.
Moreover, Xu Bai was the post station chief, equivalent to an official of the imperial court. If he dared to do this, he was simply tired of living!
“Lord Xu, please forgive me for my offense just now.”Tong Manor Magistrate said-
On the surface, it looked like an apology, but it didn’t look like an apology at all. It didn’t even make a move, and its hands were still behind its back.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. This was the reason why he didn’t want to deal with these people.
Not every prefecture token was the same as the Zhou Prefecture Token.
Now, he had met a weirdo, the Prefecture Order who looked down on the people of the martial world.
From the beginning to the end, he maintained his arrogance as if someone owed him money.
“Just an apology?” “According to the laws of Great Chu, how should they be punished for doing this?” Xu Bai asked slowly.”
Now, he could see that there was no need to be polite. This guy obviously looked down on the people of the martial world. It was useless to do more. It was better to be more direct.
When Tong Manor heard this, his expression became even more gloomy as he said,””Lord Xu, forgive people when you can.”
“So you’re saying that you’re going to protect your subordinates?”Xu Bai said with a smile.
This smile looked very sunny, but behind the sunlight, there was a deep, cold chill.
Commander Tong knew very well that this was an accusation against him, so he looked at his other subordinates. “Thirty strokes.”
The bailiffs who didn’t go to find Xu Bai came up and took all the bailiffs away. Soon, they heard continuous screams.
“Lord Xu, are you satisfied now?”The Tong Residence Magistrate said slowly.
“Of course I’m satisfied,” Xu Bai said with a smile.”What’s your name, Prefect
Magistrate?’”‘
“Surname Tong.” “Let’s talk about your matter now. ‘”‘
“Lord Tong, please speak. Oh right, find a seat and sit down. Since I’m not a prisoner being escorted by you, of course I have a place to sit. “Xu Bai rubbed his waist and said,””This old waist is not durable at all.”
“Look!” Commander Tong tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and led Xu Bai to his seat.
After Xu Bai sat down, Ye Zi came behind him and gently rubbed his shoulders.
The puppet of the Fourth Stage stood at the side, acting as a guard. Its entire body was covered in clothes, and its true appearance could not be seen clearly.
“Lord Xu really knows how to enjoy life.” “Now, let’s talk about some serious matters. Many people from many families have gone missing. Before this, the
Ou family said that you had been there before…”
The Tong Residence Order told him the entire story.
After saying that, he didn’t say anything else and waited for Xu Bai’s answer.
“Oh, about that.” Xu Bai revealed an expression of sudden realization, as if he had just realized it. He said, “If you want to talk about this matter, it’s actually very simple. Go to the Purple Wood Mansion and ask around. This is what the pavilion master of the Jiqiao Pavilion told me..”
