This change was unexpected by no one. How did Qian Jiujiu, who was still very far away just now, suddenly appear next to Master Zheng
Master Zheng was even more frightened. The tip of the knife was right at his neck. If it had gone in a little bit further, he would have been dead.
"Lady, please spare my life. I didn't know you were so powerful. If I had known, I would definitely not have provoked you."
Qian Jiujiu snorted, "Stop talking nonsense and go call your prefect. I want to see if he knows what his brother-in-law has done."
When the yamen runners heard that they were going to see their master, one of them was so excited that he ran to find the prefect. The prefect of Rongcheng was named Mo Yurong, a middle-aged man with a certain dignity. He looked very decent. Who would have thought that he would condone such evil things
Mo Yurong came quickly, and seeing the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a headache. This Zheng Huarong was his brother-in-law, and he loved his wife as much as his life, so naturally he indulged his brother-in-law in every way.
"Madam, let's talk it over. If you hurt him, you won't be able to leave this government office alive."
This is a threat right from the start. Well, needless to say, this person is really indulgent towards Zheng Huarong.
"Don't you want to ask what happened here? Are you so obsessed with protecting this bastard?"
When Lord Mo heard the word "bastard", his face darkened: "Madam, no matter what happened, you can't do this. If you don't pay attention, your dagger can kill him. This is murder."
Qian Jiujiu smiled: "Killing people? Do you care about human life? Or is it because this is your brother-in-law that you care about it so much? You want your brother-in-law to be safe, right? Very good, you can choose someone to exchange with your brother-in-law. I don't believe you will listen to me when I don't have any hostages in my hands."
Hearing Qian Jiujiu say this, Lord Mo's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at a yamen runner beside him and said, "You, go up and change with him, quickly."
The yamen runner had never expected that his master would be so cruel. Wasn't his life a life? He was actually asked to go up and exchange it? What if that thief woman was ruthless
His legs were shaking, and the yamen runner didn't want to go. But Master Zheng was angry: "Why don't you leave quickly, you bastard? It's your honor to let you come and exchange with me. Hurry up and think about your family."
This was a threat in front of me. If I didn't go to exchange, and something really happened to Master Zheng, I was afraid that the master would not let me go. He would not let my family go either. If I went to exchange and died, I might not be able to take care of my family.
So the assistant strode forward and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "I will replace my young master."
Qian Jiujiu laughed sarcastically: "You are really loyal, but I don't know if your masters are worthy of your loyalty."
While speaking, he directly used his other hand to hold another dagger against the neck of the yamen runner. Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene. Could it be possible to do this
Lord Mo's heart ached: "Why don't you keep your word? Didn't you agree to replace him?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "Mr. Zheng's life is so valuable, of course I will exchange one for two."
One is probably not enough, and the yamen runners who came to replace him are obviously determined to die, so they can't play any role in stirring up trouble. Since one is useless, then two will do.
When the yamen runners heard that they had to choose another person, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. At this moment, Qian Jiujiu was as scary as a devil in their eyes. It would be bad for them to fall into her hands, not to mention that they knew very well what kind of person their master was and would never save them.
Several yamen runners even wanted to run outside to escape, but they didn't dare. As long as the female devil couldn't kill Lord Mo, they would be the ones to die. So now they all hoped that they would not be chosen.
Qian Jiujiu saw what these yamen runners were thinking and found it a little funny: "Why? I want you to stand up and see how many people in this small yamen are loyal."
The die-hard fans should be found and killed together, otherwise they will become troublesome if they stay. It's a pity that Qian Jiujiu was disappointed, and none of these yamen runners stood up.
"Since no one is willing, then please choose one, Lord Mo. You see, even the servants in your house know who you are, Lord Mo."
Lord Mo felt a little uneasy, as he always felt that this woman had bad intentions. And he was not worried at all that the hostage in his hand would cause any bad things to happen to her.
He pointed at a yamen runner and said, "Go and replace the young master."
The yamen runner who was called out looked pale, but he still obeyed and went to change people. When he arrived in front of Qian Jiujiu, Qian Jiujiu kicked Zheng Gongzi out with one foot, and his other hand was already against the yamen runner's throat.
The moment Master Zheng regained his freedom, he became angry and said, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and kill that woman. Kill her to relieve my hatred."
As for the two yamen runners in Qian Jiujiu's hands, what did they have to do with him? He had already said that in his eyes, the lives of these people were like grass.
Qian Jiujiu spoke up at this time: "Master Mo, as long as you let us leave the government office, I will release these two people. What do you think?"
Before Lord Mo opened his mouth, Master Zheng was unwilling to leave. "No, you dare to threaten me. You are not allowed to leave. Brother-in-law can just order people to arrest them. Isn't that faster? As long as there are enough people, we can definitely arrest them. We can't let them go."
Lord Mo also felt a little embarrassed. Moreover, those two yamen runners were still his soldiers. If he really gave orders without thinking, I'm afraid everyone in the yamen would be dissatisfied with him.
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "How is it? Lord Mo, have you thought it through? Let us go, or let someone capture us, but I will kill these two people."
Master Zheng was already very unwilling: "Brother-in-law, even if these two people died, you can still suppress it. As long as you are still the prefect, you can recruit any yamen runners you want. What are you worried about?"
The faces of the yamen runners standing aside turned very ugly. Recruiting them casually was not treating them as human beings at all. They were very angry in their hearts, but what he said was true. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Qian Jiujiu frowned. Sure enough, it was said before that someone could not serve as an official in one place for more than three years. This made sense. It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty will also begin to implement this system in the future.
Those who have completed three years of service must return to Kyoto and be reassigned based on their achievements to see whether they are promoted or demoted. Qian Jiujiu had an idea in mind, and Lord Mo had also made a decision at this time: "Do it."
It turns out that they didn't regard the lives of the yamen runners as their own. The yamen runners didn't dare not go up to catch the man, and could only hope that they could act faster and at least save their companions.
As a result, Qian Jiujiu had already anticipated this scene. When the yamen runners pounced on him, he directly retracted the dagger, pushed the two yamen runners away, and then kicked all the yamen runners who pounced on him away.
The guards had not expected that Qian Jiujiu, who was so fierce, had no intention of killing anyone. Instead, they felt relieved and did not fight back. He fell to the ground after being hit lightly.
Seeing that these yamen runners were unlikely to be able to capture Qian Jiujiu, Master Zheng had evil thoughts again. Your master is powerful, is your disciple also powerful? If I can't catch you, I will catch my disciple to threaten you.
Yes, Mr. Zheng was targeting Fang Xiaoxi. After all, Fang Xiaoxi was just standing there from beginning to end. As long as he walked over and grabbed Fang Xiaoxi's neck, he could threaten the woman to stop.
Thinking this way, he did it. But he was hit when he was doing it. Because his outstretched hand was grabbed by Fang Xiaoxi, who pulled him hard, causing Master Zheng to kneel down.
Fang Xiaoxi grabbed Master Zheng's head with her hands: "You are a person with bad intentions. You came here to die. Do you believe that if I just give you a slight twist, your life will be over."
Master Zheng really didn't expect that this disciple was so powerful: "Brother-in-law, save me, brother-in-law..."
He started asking his brother-in-law for help again, which made Fang Xiaoxi speechless. Lord Mo was also speechless. He now realized that the master and disciple were definitely martial arts heroes. Their kung fu was so powerful, how did they provoke them
Qian Jiujiu looked at Lord Mo and said, "Lord Mo, it's time to stop now. I won't make it difficult for you. You see, even the bailiffs in your government office can't deal with me. I'll give you some time. Come out and find someone who can deal with me."
She wanted to see if this place was completely dark from head to toe. At this time, Lord Mo also remembered the people from the Supervisory Committee.
The Supervisory Committee has always wanted to catch people who have committed crimes in the underworld, so they can be seen in many places. A few days ago, someone happened to be in Rongcheng, and he came back to celebrate the New Year.
"Okay, then you wait."
Lord Mo actually turned around and walked out, but this time even the yamen runners and lackeys who usually followed him stood still and did not follow him.
Qian Jiujiu smiled and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, come and sit down and have a rest. Mr. Zheng, please kneel here."
Qian Jiujiu didn't know when melon seeds appeared in her hand. She threw two of them at random and hit Master Zheng's knees directly. Master Zheng suddenly knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.
Fang Xiaoxi sat aside obediently, and Qian Jiujiu grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "Eat some melon seeds, so you won't feel sad while waiting."
The group of yamen runners still lying on the ground were speechless. Instead of taking this opportunity to rescue the people in the cell and run away, they were still eating melon seeds here. They were really confident and thought they could even deal with the masters of the Supervisory Committee.
