Chapter 625: Wang Qjng

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

County Magistrate Xu already had conclusive evidence, but even at this moment, Landlord Wang was still not afraid at all. It was obvious that he had someone to rely on. He was a little flustered, but thinking that he had already come this far, there was naturally no way out. He tried his best to maintain his composure.

“Old Master Wang, this evidence was obtained from interrogating the criminals. You have to understand me. The law does not tolerate mercy.” County Magistrate Xu’s attitude was still not tough, but his words were very infuriating.

“Lord Xu, do you know what you are doing?” Landlord Wang was furious. He had a gloomy expression as he asked coldly.

“Of course, I’m trying to settle the case,” County Magistrate Xu said righteously.

“But I don’t admit to any of this evidence. I’m definitely innocent. Shouldn’t Lord Xu re-investigate?”

County Magistrate Xu looked surprised. “How can that be? These are the people who went to kill Tang Bao. Third Young Master Xie was also kidnapped under Butler Wang’s personal instructions. How can it be fake?”

“You arrested Butler Wang without permission?” Landlord Wangs expression changed drastically, and his heart thumped. How could this be? Xu Peng definitely did not have the guts!

“Lord Xu, don’t you want to know that I dare to do this because there’s someone behind me?” Seeing that Xu Peng was about to deal with him, Landlord Wang thought of the Zhao family in the prefecture and instantly calmed down. Xu Peng was just a county magistrate. Even the Xie family would not dare to go against the Zhao family directly.

What was there to be afraid of?

“I know.” County Magistrate Xu looked meaningfully at Landlord Wang, who had admitted his crime in disguise.

“How do you know?!” Landlord Wang was shocked.

“Landlord Wang, have you forgotten that all of this is targeted at the Xie

family? This time, you’re trying to stop the Third Young Master of the Xie family from participating in the exam, right? I’m sure the prefecture will have some arrangements as well.”

“The Xie family won’t sit still and wait for death.”

“So you chose the Xie family?” Landlord Wang was so angry that he laughed. He tried to sow discord.” Aren’t you afraid that you’ll stand in the wrong position and lose everything? Even your life?”

“Besides, I can give you whatever the Xie family can give you.” Landlord Wang tempted him.

County Magistrate Xu shook his head and sighed. “That being said, I have already made a move against you today. This estrangement has already been established. Could it be that you will not hold a grudge against me for what I have done today if I say that I will help you now?”

“After saying so much, are you going to insist on standing on the Xie family’s side?” Landlord Wang grunted angrily, his eyes turning colder and colder. “You chose this yourself. Don’t blame me for being impolite.”

At that moment, the door was suddenly broken in by a group of people.

In the next moment, a knife was placed on County Magistrate Xu’s neck. Someone was holding him hostage!

“You guys…” County Magistrate Xu’s eyes widened in shock and panic. “This is the county office! It’s a great crime to hold an official of the imperial court hostage,” County Magistrate Xu shouted.

“Is that so? No one knows that we’ve kidnapped an official. It doesn’t seem difficult for Lord Xu to die in an accident.” Landlord Wang smiled sinisterly, his eyes already filled with killing intent.

County Magistrate Xu felt regret. This was already beyond his expectations.

“That… If I help you deal with the Xie family now, will you let me go?” After County Magistrate Xu said this, his face was a little red. It was so awkward that it was red.

When Landlord Wang heard his words, he laughed out loud. At the same time, he reached out and patted his face. He was extremely insulting. “Lord Xu, when I asked you to choose just now, what did you tell me?” “It’s too late now!” Landlord Wang laughed sinisterly.

“Second son, I’ll leave him to you..”
