Chapter 1828 Exposed
After knocking on the door, Wan Shufang kept her body tense and her eyes fixed on the person who opened the door, trying to get some clues from her possible expression.
So as soon as the woman opened the door, Wan Shufang caught her eye, revealing a look of relief.
"My last name is Wan, and my husband's last name is Chen, because..." Wan Shufang was about to speak, but before she could finish her words, the woman sneered.
She raised her eyes and said sarcastically, "You are from another place, right? If you want to live, leave here, or you will regret it."
After she finished speaking, she closed the door. Wan Shufang looked at the closed door, feeling a little dazed.
Because of what happened today, she deliberately painted herself black and acted weak. She thought the woman would sympathize with her, but she didn't expect the woman to say such words.
Her thoughts raced, and she soon realized that she shouldn't be here because the woman was the county magistrate's person.
Even if she was forced, before the county magistrate was dealt with, she was one with the county magistrate, so in order to control her, the county magistrate might have arranged people around her.
After realizing this, Wan Shufang knew she was exposed and ran back quickly.
"Chen Changli, let's go!" After returning to the inn, Wan Shufang shouted and was about to take him away, but she didn't expect that a group of people had already rushed towards them.
"What's going on?" Cui Shi was shocked.
"We have been exposed." Chen Changli quickly guessed the truth, and he ran to the back with Wan Shufang.
Noticing that there were people rushing towards him from behind, Chen Changli's eyes darkened slightly, and then he and Cui Shi worked together to drive these people away, then they smashed the door and ran out quickly.
"They're over there, hurry up and chase them." The sound of a door smashing was heard, and the people outside the inn rushed in instantly.
They were aggressive and like sharp blades. They not only chased Chen Changli and his wife in the county town, but also kept pushing and shoving the people.
They acted as if the people were not human beings, but wooden sculptures, who could be beaten and scolded at will.
Wan Shufang turned her head inadvertently and saw this scene. Her face turned extremely pale.
"Where are you going?" At this time, the county magistrate and a group of soldiers met them on a narrow road.
"We want to go back." Chen Changli's eyes were as sharp as knives, making people dare not look directly at him.
The county magistrate took one look at him and felt that his aura was very strong, and his eyes could not help but wander. After a while, he thought that this was his home ground, and Chen Changli and the other two were from outside, so he had to let him do whatever he wanted.
He immediately straightened his posture and said arrogantly, "Go back? You are obviously thieves. You stole my things and want to go back and sell them."
"Come here, capture them. If they resist, they will be killed without mercy." The county magistrate gave an order and the people who obeyed him acted quickly.
Chen Changli immediately revealed his identity: "I am Chen Changli, the Duke of Rong appointed by His Majesty. You are the county magistrate. You deceive your superiors and oppress the people. This is truly treasonous."
The county magistrate seemed to have heard a joke and immediately laughed out loud: "Haha, you are Chen Changli, then I am the emperor."
The chief clerk flattered him and echoed: "The county magistrate is the local emperor here. No matter whether the person who comes in is an insect or a dragon, he must kneel down when he sees the county magistrate."
"You're still Chen Changli? Everyone in the world knows that Chen Changli and his wife are missing. His Majesty has been going crazy looking for them." The county magistrate said proudly, "Humph, you ignorant rat, you are really bold to lie to me."
"Not only did they lie, but they also dared to meddle in other people's affairs. Sir, we should just kill them directly." The chief clerk suggested from the side.
The county magistrate glared at him, then smiled and said, "As long as you surrender and tell me how much you know, but only the dead can keep secrets, so for my future, you'd better go to see the King of Hell."
As soon as he said this, the people who were arresting Chen Changli and others took ruthless action.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang decided not to show mercy to them and directly poisoned them.
"That woman is poisoning." The chief clerk quickly discovered it and shouted.
Wan Shufang was targeted again, and Chen Changli went crazy and killed people in order to protect her.
Cui Shi did the same, and then cooperated with Chen Changli to fight their way out. The three of them took great effort to escape from the county town full of dangers while being injured.
But the county magistrate's men were relentless in their pursuit, and they had no chance to take a break.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly came from the front. Chen Changli took a look at them and felt that they were people from the imperial court. However, he saw how deceptive the county magistrate's performance was.
Therefore, no matter how much this group of people looked like people from the imperial court, he did not dare to take Wan Shufang to seek help. In desperation, he wanted to take his people to hide deep in the jungle, but he did not expect that these people also saw them and quickly chased after them and surrounded them.
Chen Changli's whole body was tense and his eyes were alert. He was like a hungry wolf. As long as the situation was not right, he would start killing.
"Are you Chen Changli, General Chen? I finally found you." The leader took out the portrait, compared it carefully, and confirmed that they were exactly the same, then jumped off the horse happily.
"Are you the one sent by His Majesty?" Chen Changli was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.
"My name is Lin Zhen, and I'm the leader of the three teams of the imperial guards. This time, His Majesty received the letter from the general and knew that the general was safe and sound, so he specially sent me to find you and bring you back to Yongzhou City." Lin Zhen explained quickly.
"That's great." Wan Shufang and Cui Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "With you here, we can deal with that bastard official."
"What happened?" Lin Zhen asked hurriedly upon hearing it, but he didn't expect that before Chen Changli and the other two could explain, the county magistrate's men caught up with them.
"Kill them quickly." Lin Zhen's face turned green when he heard these murderous words.
"You are so bold." He was so angry that he led his men to rush forward, and soon caught all these people and threw them in front of Chen Changli. "General, what's wrong with them?"
Chen Changli told the county magistrate about what he had discovered about Xingyun Town, only to find out that the county magistrate was the mastermind behind the scenes. He then said, "We wanted to proceed step by step, find evidence, and take him and the people behind him down, but we didn't expect that he discovered our actions and actually sent people to hunt us down."
Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang quickly spoke up: "This dog official might be a remnant of the Dajing, relying on his honest appearance and acting to deceive His Majesty's people."
Cui Shi was afraid that Lin Zhen would not take this matter seriously, so he exaggerated and said, "The people here were forced to sell themselves into slavery, but even so, the corrupt officials did not let the people go and forced them to buy high-priced goods."
Lin Zhen saw that Chen Changli looked unhappy, and he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't expect the dog official to be so bold, "What? Sir, we will follow your orders and bring this dog official to justice."
Chen Changli immediately arranged for Lin Zhen to send a group of people to Xingyun Town to investigate the situation, while he would take him and another group of people back to the county town.
"This county magistrate has lost his conscience. We must suppress him by force and find out the truth."
