Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Person the County Magistrate Thinks of Day and Night Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Person the County Magistrate Thinks of Day and Night The soldier realized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly arranged for them to et the County Magistrate.
At that ti, the County Magistrate was lying in the Yan, disheartened and frustrated.
Ever since the Third Prince had allowed the bandits into the Eastern Land, every place had fallen into chaos, and Dai County was suffering greatly from it.
Although nurous bounty posters were put up, those who ca forward were unreliable youths, and he had harbored no hope.
Now, with Biluo City in crisis and the Third Prince having gone to Biluo City, there would be the threat of the Ninth Prince from the outside and the chaos wreaked by the bandits on the inside, a great turbulence was bound to engulf the Eastern Land!
As the parental official of Dai County, he did not expect to soar to success, but at the very least, he hoped for peace and order within his jurisdiction.
Therefore, these bandits had beco a major concern, causing him more headaches than a son who spent all day seeking pleasures.
But he was at a loss for what to do.
Though Dai County was large, most of the able-bodied n had been conscripted, and even a considerable number of Governnt Officials had been called up.
Now, his Yan consisted of less than ten n in each of the three classes, and even the Soap Class responsible for proclaiming might and valor was gone, often requiring substitutes from the Strong Class during trials.
He had also posted rewards, encouraging Village chivalrous warriors to help capture the bandits, but the usual volunteers who helped catch mountain bandits had all enlisted, leaving only the elderly, the weak, and won; who was there to respond?
At present, the pile of petitions for justice on his desk was growing taller by the day, and he was unable to solve a single case, leaving him in a state of extre anxiety.
Just then, a Leader of the Guards galloped back with urgent news, informing him that soone had captured mbers of the Black Spider and had co to claim their Reward Silver.
The County Magistrate leaped from his chair in a jolt, “What did you say??”
“Reporting to the County Magistrate, just now, two young villagers ca pushing over fifty bodies claiming to collect the bounty, and upon examination, indeed several were on the Bounty list,” explained the Leader of the Guards tirelessly.
“Where are they? Where are they now?”
“Just outside the County Yan.”
“Quick! Take to see!”
The County Magistrate said as he dashed out with such agility that it seed at odds with his plump appearance.
Outside, many villagers had gathered, all discussing the five carts of corpses with great interest.
Standing beside the carts were two youths, their genders indistinguishable and their deanor extraordinary, clearly the young masters from so Noble Family.
They were dressed in bright crimson, very conspicuous in front of the heap of corpses.
As the onlooking villagers speculating about the identity of the bodies on the carts, the County Magistrate ca running out, his face filled with tension.
Upon seeing the exposed big feet on the cart, he excitedly lifted the straw, and his eyes t with the pallid faces of the deceased.
Yet these were the very individuals that the County Magistrate had longed for in his thoughts.
The County Magistrate, far from appalled, examined the corpses carefully and finally recognized a familiar face among them, the Black Spider’s underboss, Black Nine.
With elated hand claps, the County Magistrate exclaid, “Ahahaha! It’s him! It’s him!”
“Where are the chivalrous ones? Where are the Villagers who brought the Black Spider’s Black Nine to justice? I, the County Magistrate, want to personally reward them!”
“Reporting to the County Magistrate, here they are,” said the Leader of the Guards, pointing to two children standing behind the County Magistrate.
Huh?
The County Magistrate turned around in surprise and saw indeed two children standing behind him. At first, he thought they were just onlookers and paid them no mind, but it turned out that they were the very Village chivalrous warriors who had made significant contributions this ti.
With a look of astonishnt, the County Magistrate asked, “Truly? It’s you?”
Li Wenli replied, bowing with a fist in palm, “It is.”
The County Magistrate blinked again, seeming sowhat incredulous.
