PWDLAW Chapter 627: Suppression and Execution
Chapter 627: Suppression and Execution
General Shen Xiao and Ye Zhao obviously came prepared.
They were nothing like the fake guards brought by Landlord Wang and Wang Qing, who were disguised as bandits. Soon, the situation turned completely one-sided. County Magistrate Xu was rescued but there was still a small wound on his neck, constantly bleeding.
He reached out to touch his neck and looked down at the blood on his fingers, feeling a bit dizzy, his body tremble.
The steward was also rescued, and he crawled over to County Magistrate Xu, grabbing his arm, "Sir, we need to leave quickly. In case the Wang family resorts to desperate measures again and holds us hostage, our lives won't be guaranteed."
"Let's go, let's go..." County Magistrate Xu said, then he saw Ye Zhao passing by and quickly called out to him, "Captain Ye, wait, what about my family..."
At this moment, County Magistrate Xu finally had time to care about his own family. He didn't dare to ask too much when he was being held hostage, fearing for their safety.
Ye Zhao turned his head to look at him, "County Magistrate Xu, rest assured, General Shen Xiao is here to eradicate the bandits. Naturally, he will protect the safety of your family. Please rest assured your family members have been arranged to stay at the Fragrant Pavilion of the Xie family. You just need to send someone over."
County Magistrate Xu breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand, "Thank you very much, General Shen Xiao, Captain Ye, for your assistance. I will arrange for medical treatment for the injured first. You just need to focus on your tasks and I will cooperate."
"Thank you, sir." Ye Zhao didn't say much more, he lifted his long sword and entered the county office.
In just a moment, Landlord Wang and his family had already retreated to the county office.
But they didn't even have a chance to struggle. With the captured guards, their clothes were stripped off, revealing their true faces. Several of them were even wanted criminals that the county office needed to apprehend.
With these people present, the charge of collusion between the Wang family and the bandits, as well as the crime of inciting rebellion were directly established. Even if people from the Zhao family were to come, it wouldn't change anything.
Ye Zhao quickly walked to the side of General Shen Xiao and said in a deep voice, "General Shen Xiao, I'll lead the way."
"Thank you for your hard work." General Shen Xiao patted his shoulder, took a step back, and handed over the leadership to him indicating his trust in him.
Ye Zhao decisively stepped forward, and with a sword strike, he broke open the gate. With soldiers assisting him the gate of the county office was quickly kicked open and a group of soldiers rushed in, immediately causing screams.
This time, the turmoil caused by the Wang family was completely quelled within fifteen minutes.
At the Xie family's residence.
Ye Muyu was chatting with Chu Liushi and Qian. The matter was not yet resolved, so they couldn't sleep and decided to chat instead.
Knock, knock, knock... Someone knocked on the door from outside, followed by the voice of a maid, "Madam Chu, Madam Qian, Madam is here with urgent news."
"Is it Mrs. Xie?" Qian's foot slipped, and she quickly stood up. She subconsciously tidied her hair and clothes, trying to make herself look presentable.
Chu Liushi also stood up, straightened her skirt, glanced at Ye Muyu, and nodded lightly. The three of them walked out.
The door creaked open, and the person waiting outside was Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie thought that the Wang family could be resolved so quickly this time, thanks to Chu Heng and Ye Zhao. Although the military forces of the Shen family and the evidence that could incriminate the Wang family came from these two, it was her own family that was the main target of the Wang family's retaliation. They didn't contribute much, and she even prevented her family from confronting the Wang family earlier, just to avoid affecting her third son's exam.
Now she realized that she had been selfish and shortsighted.
