"Put this man in jail!" Zhu Fu pointed at Zhao Ting and ordered the Governnt Official, "As for the two young ladies, please follow . Rest assured, I have always been soone who cares for beauty, I definitely won’t wrong the two young ladies."

"You want to imprison soone before even holding a trial, you disregard the law!" ng Yao reprimanded.

"The law? It’s your first ti here, young lady, you probably aren’t familiar with the rules of Le’an. Today, let tell you what the law is in Le’an!" Zhu Fu laughed heartily.

Indeed, such innocent young ladies have no experience with the harshness of the world, did they really think he brought them to the County Governnt for fair handling?

"Brothers, co, co, co, here’s a chance for you to answer the young ladies’ questions, tell them what the law is in the County Governnt!"

"In our County Governnt, Zhu, the arrest officer, your law is the king’s law!"

"Boss, I see these two young ladies are fair and attractive, such beauties shouldn’t stay in the Governnt Office. You should quickly take them ho, right?"

Openly teasing, shows how chaotic things are in this Governnt Office!

Zhu Fu feigned glaring at that Governnt Official, "Erhei is still in great pain. As his elder cousin, how can I not care for him? Before taking the two young ladies away, I must understand what they did to Erhei!"

"Young ladies, you can see, there are so many Governnt Officials here! You know what choice to make, right? If you confess honestly, you won’t suffer."

"Want to know what happened to him?" ng Yao smiled slightly, "That’s easy, Bai Su, tell them what happened to this person!"

Bai Su nodded, took a step forward in front of Zhu Fu, and said, "He—"

During speaking, Bai Su quickly acted, pinched Zhu Fu’s jaw open, tossed the pill into his mouth, closed his jaw, then patted his throat.

Zhu Fu didn’t even react before the item slid down his throat.

"What, what did you make eat?" Zhu Fu clawed at his throat, but he couldn’t remove anything.

"Didn’t you ask what happened to him? Feel it yourself, then you’ll know what happened to him!" Bai Su replied with a smile.

Zhu Fu soon felt intensive pain, so much he couldn’t bear it and fell to the ground, rolling around like Zhu Erhei.

Except Zhu Erhei had been struggling for a while, and the rolling was not as strong as Zhu Fu’s.

The other Governnt Officials looked at Bai Su with doubt and uncertainty.

Zhao Ting freed himself from the two Governnt Officials holding him.

Not that he looked down on these people, if soone genuinely wanted to occupy the County Governnt, they should train capable soldiers, instead of using this group of rabble, in a real situation, none of them would be useful.

After living as overlords for so long, they truly believed they were heaven.

"All, all don’t be afraid, we outnumber them, as long as she doesn’t poison us, we’ll be fine!"

"Right, right, right!"

Bai Su smiled, she had played with Poisonous Insects since childhood and had lots of tricks.

"Last chance, we wish to see the County Magistrate," ng Yao stated.

"Brothers, capture them, force them to give the antidote! Detoxify the boss!"

Bai Su pulled out a porcelain container with many small holes on the lid, "Look carefully!"

Everyone felt as if sothing flew past their eyes, then they began to feel itchy all over.

Their exposed skin visibly started to swell and redden.

No way anyone could apprehend the three, they were so itchy they couldn’t hold their knives and freed their hands to scratch. But the more they scratched, the itchier they got, unable to put down their hands.

Most tis, itching is more torturous than pain.

Finally, soone couldn’t bear it, stamring out that he could take them to see the County Magistrate.

ng Yao only then knew the noble County Magistrate wasn’t even in the County Governnt.

ng Yao signaled Bai Su, who cheerfully withdrew the Poisonous Insects from the person.

"Don’t play any tricks!" Bai Su said with a smile, "Lead us honestly, or it’ll be worse for you than before."

The person shivered, "No dare, no dare."

Zhao Ting, along with ng Yao, followed him to et the County Magistrate.

Bai Su stayed behind to watch over these people.

Exiting through the County Governnt’s back door, crossing two streets, the Governnt Official stopped in front of a semi-new and old residence.

"This is the County Magistrate’s residence," the Governnt Official said.

"The County Magistrate doesn’t work on usual days?" Zhao Ting asked.

Years ago when he ca here, the then County Magistrate at least stayed at the County Governnt.

How had it fallen to such a state now?

"There’s not much to do in the County Governnt, the County Magistrate would go just to sit idly. It’s more comfortable at ho. Besides, Zhu Fu makes the decisions anyway," the Governnt Official said.

"Aren’t you one of the Three Livelihoods’ n?" Zhao Ting inquired.

Addressing Zhu Fu by na, and just now among the people, he was the first to yield.

"No, I just learned so martial arts so I was fortunate to beco a Governnt Official. I haven’t done anything bad, whenever Zhu Fu they take advantage of situations, I never participate. I just run errands for them to earn so monthly salary to support my family," he explained.

"By compromising with us today, to Zhu Fu and them, it’s betrayal, aren’t you afraid?" Zhao Ting asked.

"I—" The small Governnt Official hesitated, "You aren’t afraid of Zhu Fu, even managed to make him disadvantaged at the County Governnt, proving you’re capable."

"So?"

"Oppressed by Zhu Fu and them, my life would be this way forever, and the things I wish to do would never be accomplished. Therefore, I want to take a chance. I wonder if you noblen need a runner familiar with Le’an?"

Zhao Ting laughed, "You’re one of Zhu Fu’s gang, why should I trust you? Who knows if you did this deliberately to lower our guard."

"He won’t."

The residence door before them opened.

A young face appeared before Zhao Ting and ng Yao.

"Co in," the young man beckoned Zhao Ting and ng Yao.

"Why won’t he?" Zhao Ting asked.

"The girl he had a childhood engagent with was forcibly taken by Zhu Fu, and couldn’t bear the humiliation, so she jumped into a well. His younger sister was similar, but she’s still alive, however, the trauma was so great her mind is impaired," the young man explained.

The small Governnt Official’s face was full of anger.

"So, as a Court official, how can you achieve such neglect?" Zhao Ting questioned the young man.

"I am a scholar from a humble background, studied arduously for years, hoping that by passing the exam, I could realize my ambitions. Ultimately, I thought too simply! I brought my long follower and Master to take office, now the Money Master[1] has turned to another. The Criminal Master[2] broke his leg, recovering in his room. With no useful people, what can I do alone, except watch helplessly?"

"So, you just compromised like this?" Zhao Ting asked.

"Sir, it’s easy to talk when standing, isn’t it? Without compromise, do you think I could stand here intact?" The County Magistrate got sowhat angry.

He had parents and family, he studied hard to beco an official not to lose his life.

[1] Money Master: Master in charge of financial matters.

[2] Criminal Master: Master responsible for handling legal affairs.
