Chapter 199: The Number One Scholar is Taken in - Yu Miaozhu 7
He then realized that his body was tied up and fell in mid-air. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes. Someone had entered his secret room quietly and he was completely unaware of it.
When he checked Xihe's appearance, he couldn't see her face clearly.
"Who are you? Let me go!"
Xihe didn't say anything, and the Baihua Ling around his neck tightened a little more.
The magistrate suddenly couldn't breathe and his tongue stuck out.
Xihe moved his fingers slightly, and the ropes binding the two sisters broke at once.
The two regained their freedom, and they supported each other and came to Xihe's side.
"Thank you for saving me..." Their bodies were too weak and they were about to fall to the ground.
Xihe reached out and supported them, preventing them from falling to the ground.
"Thank you, benefactor." The two of them hurriedly bowed to Xihe again.
"No need to be so polite. How are you going to deal with him?" Xihe gestured for the two men to stand up, then pointed at the hung magistrate and asked them.
"Kill him, I will kill him and cut him into pieces..." one of them said hatefully.
"Yes, I will kill him and leave him without a burial place..."
"No, no, no, you can't kill me. I am an official appointed by the court..." The magistrate immediately shouted when he heard what the two said.
"Wouldn't it be too easy for him if he was killed all at once?" Xihe ignored him and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Benefactor, do you have a better idea? Please tell me..."
"He's an official. What do you think of throwing him into a beggar's den and inviting the whole county to watch?"
"Okay, as a local official, he broke the law knowingly, so he must lose all his face and dignity..." After hearing Xihe's words, the two felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll take you away first. Find a place to have a good rest. Remember to go and watch the fun tomorrow." Xihe slapped the wall beside him, breaking it into pieces, revealing the county magistrate's collection.
Xihe gave the two some money and sent them out of the county government office.
After dropping them off outside the inn, Xihe said to them before leaving, "Tomorrow there will be an oxcart coming into the city, and both the driver and the passengers will be women."
"Stop the coachman and tell him that the person who gave you the dagger told you to go find her. She will take you away. Don't worry, she can be trusted."
"Thank you, benefactor." Xihe patted them gently, and their fatigue disappeared.
They hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. When they stood up again, Xihe had disappeared.
"Sister, let's go! The benefactor has left..."
"Okay, it's a pity we didn't ask for the benefactor's name. I want to erect a monument for her..."
"When we meet the person our benefactor mentioned, we'll ask her."
"Okay..." The two of them looked into the distance again before walking into the inn.
When Xihe returned to the county government office, he first collected all of Magistrate Dun's collections into his own space, and then took the Magistrate out of the county government office.
In the dilapidated temple with stars shining through the sky, a dozen beggars were lying on the straw, all of them snoring deafeningly.
Suddenly, they felt something crawling on the ground.
They thought it was a mouse and grabbed it.
They reached out and touched it, but it didn't feel right. With the help of the moonlight, they could barely see that it was snow-white.
They didn't think too much about it and just started...
Shouting and laughter could be heard from far away...
Magistrate, Hao Wen was almost going crazy because of the stench of those beggars. He almost vomited.
"Ugh..." He didn't know who stuffed the dirty thing into his mouth, and he wanted to vomit.
"Pa pa pa..." I don't know who it was, but someone raised his hand and slapped him several times, making him never dare to vomit again.
Those people became even more unscrupulous and did not stop all night.
He couldn't even make a sound to cry out, because his mouth was always busy.
This was the most difficult time for him...
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Someone who got up early and passed by the dilapidated temple heard strange noises inside. Driven by curiosity, he lay down at the door and secretly watched, and saw a scene that made him sick.
He quickly covered his mouth, and when he looked carefully he saw a familiar person.
He was so ecstatic that he ignored everything else and ran quickly into the distance.
Through his publicity, everyone who got up early knew that the unruly magistrate had gotten into trouble.
They all had smiles on their faces as they rushed towards the dilapidated temple.
When they arrived at the place, they found that the man who covered his face had not lied to them, and the corrupt official was really inside.
An angry scholar stood at the door and started cursing. His words were so sharp that everyone who heard him couldn't help laughing.
Hao Wen also saw the crowd outside the door. He wanted to break free from them, but he couldn't.
Tears of despair flowed from his eyes. He was finished, completely finished...
In less than half an hour, his story spread throughout the entire county, and there were even painters who drew pictures of what they had done.
Among them, Feng Qi's painting was the most vivid. She even posted a large one at the city gate, ensuring that everyone passing by could see it.
As Hao Wen saw the growing crowd, he began to feel resentful towards his family.
So many people got the news, why didn't they get the news to save themselves?
What he didn't know was that his family members received the same treatment as him.
His wife and concubines were killed by Xihe, and his sons were sent to be prostitutes.
Even the married women could not escape the disaster, and they and their younger daughters were chopped to pieces by Xihe.
They will all pay the price for spending the dirty money obtained by their husbands and fathers.
After a night of torture, Hao Wen's sons became completely changed.
They looked at the roof with hatred and vowed to kill the thieves who harmed them.
However, they can never get out again and can only be trapped here for the rest of their lives.
They didn't know that this place was hundreds of miles away from their home.
Their chances of returning are slim, and they can only endure this torture in humiliation, and can never enjoy that kind of wealthy life again.
Hao Wen waited a long time for his family to come and rescue him, and when he was about to bite his tongue, the county magistrate arrived with his men and pulled him out of the crowd.
Seeing the scars on his body, the onlookers all showed meaningful smiles on their faces.
Those people escorted Hao Wen back to the county government office, and as soon as they entered the backyard, they smelled blood.
Everyone knew something serious had happened, and they rushed in and saw corpses everywhere.
After being tortured all night, Hao Wen saw this scene, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
So many people died in the magistrate's family that the county magistrate was at a loss. He hurriedly sent someone to inform the prefect.
"Sir, the bodies of the young masters have not been found..." A bailiff came to the side of the county magistrate and reported in a low voice.
"Look somewhere else to see if there is..."
