The leader of the garrison saluted Xiaoman, then looked at her strangely: "But County Lady, is it okay to make such a big noise?"
The entire snack street is so big, and it’s all cordoned off. The leader of the garrison is actually worried. Xiaoman doesn’t know how to explain it, so he is a little worried.
Xiaoman just smiled and said, "This county lady has been attacked. The attacker is in the snack street. All strangers with martial arts skills in the snack street should be arrested."
The leader's expression changed for a moment, and then he nodded: "Yes, County Master, I will do it now."
In this way, Xiaoman led the entire garrison to surround the snack street. Time passed little by little, it was about to get dark, and the snack street was almost about to be disbanded.
The people who found nothing were tired after a day's work and were ready to go home. When they came out of the snack street, they found that the place was surrounded by the army. Fortunately, these people knew the garrison troops.
One by one, they reported which village they were from and then left. There were fewer and fewer people in the snack street. At this time, Chen Qi and others were in Dong Shi's room.
They were also waiting in fear, hoping that what Dong Shi said was true, and that nothing would happen tonight as long as they didn't go out. But now there were fewer and fewer people.
Who knows if someone will suddenly attack in the next minute, so they must focus all their attention to survive tonight.
As long as they don't go back tonight, the county lord will definitely send someone to look for them. They can only hope so. However, those people waiting for the attack outside have no idea that the snack street has been closed.
Because none of them had left, and as the number of people in the snack street decreased, the circle of people around them also decreased. The people waiting outside looked at each other.
"It's time to start. Otherwise, things might get worse."
Everyone looked at each other, and then launched an attack on He Dongshi's store together. As a result, tens of thousands of embroidery needles flew out, and some people were unable to dodge.
His whole body was immediately shot into a hedgehog. The most terrifying thing was that these tiny wounds would not kill people. What would kill people was that the needles were poisonous.
Anyone who was shot fainted immediately. This change scared the people outside. Xiaoman had already received the news as soon as the action was taken.
He looked at the leader and said, "Go ahead and capture them all. Don't let any of them escape."
The leader was a little skeptical at first, wondering how the county lady knew that there was a villain hiding. He didn't expect that there really was one, so he acted quickly.
The criminals were originally worried about how to get into the small building, but suddenly the officers and soldiers rushed out from all directions, and they were all frightened.
The leader of the criminals saw this and couldn't help but frown: "This is a trap, everyone retreat."
It’s a pity that they were not prepared when they came. If they want to leave, it will not be so good. They can’t retreat at all. In Dong Shi’s small building, Siyun and others have been paying attention to the situation outside.
Dong Shi was also puzzled and glanced at Si Yun: "So you guys have been prepared for a long time, and even the garrison troops have been brought here. It looks like we have a rich harvest today."
Although she said so, Dong Shi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. They were exposed in vain. She looked at Xi Shi and both of them felt helpless.
When Siyun heard Dong Shi's words, she felt relieved. As long as the county lord came, nothing would happen again. But now she still had to keep an eye on the young master.
Xiaoman also took action outside and quickly captured all the criminals. The leader of the criminals looked at Xiaoman and said, "The county lady is indeed a heroine."
"You're willing to use even your own brother as bait!"
Xiao Man snorted coldly: "This has nothing to do with you. Speaking of which, this county lady likes people who are tough on others the most. I just don't know how tough your words can be."
The leader of the gang snorted, turned away and ignored Xiaoman. Seeing that there was no danger, Xiaoman came to the door of Dong Shi's small building and shouted inside.
"Siyun, how are Xiaoqi and the others?"
The door suddenly opened, and Dong Shi came out and saluted Xiao Man: "Dong Shi greets the county lady."
Siyun and others also came out quickly, holding the two children. When Chen Qi and Kaikai saw Xiaoman, they smiled and said, "Sister, it's great to see you."
Xiaoman touched the tops of the two children's heads and said, "Remember this lesson. Don't put yourself in such a dangerous situation just for food. Do you understand?"
Chen Qi nodded: "I understand, sister."
Kaikai looked at the two of them with a confused look. Xiaoman's gaze had already turned to Dongshi and Xishi. The two sisters looked very similar, so Xiaoman smiled.
"As the saying goes, great people hide in the city. You two have really lived up to this saying."
Dong Shi and Xi Shi looked at each other and then at Xiao Man: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the county lady. Please forgive us, the two sisters did not conceal anything on purpose."
Xiaoman waved her hand and said, "No need to explain. Everyone has secrets. I would like to thank you two for your help today. I owe you a favor."
"If you need anything from me in the future, I will never refuse."
Dong Shi and Xi Shi looked at each other after hearing what Xiao Man said, and then bowed to Xiao Man: "Thank you, County Lady."
After Xiao Man saw that the matter here was resolved, he looked at the leader of the garrison and said, "Send all these people to the dungeon of the palace. This county chief will interrogate them personally."
After giving instructions, Xiaoman took Chen Qi and Kaikai back to the palace. After arriving at the palace, she found that Chen Da seemed distracted all day.
Seeing them finally come back, Chen Da finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You are finally back. I didn't know how worried Daddy was. I am glad that you are all right. I am glad that you are all right."
Xiaoman was a little helpless: "It's okay, Dad, don't let your brother run around before the problem is solved. I still have some things to deal with, you guys should go to bed early."
Chen Da nodded: "Don't worry, Dad will take good care of the two children and won't cause you any more trouble."
Xiaoman rolled his eyes and said, "I don't dislike my brother, but this time it's not completely without good things. At least I caught some people."
"Go and interrogate them now. I'm leaving now."
Hongyue sent Xiaoman out of the yard, and then looked at her two sons. She was finally relieved to know that her sons were fine, and then she asked what happened today.
After Xiaoman left, he went directly to the dungeon of the palace. Gu Xiangning was already waiting there. Seeing Xiaoman coming, he twitched his lips and said, "Today's harvest is quite rich."
Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Gu Xiangning and said, "We have no choice but to do this. Are these people awake? The other party is really generous. They actually sent out more than 30 people this time."
It turned out that Xiaoman captured more than 30 people at one time today. The martial arts of these 30 people seemed to be strong and they were obviously carefully trained.
Gu Xiangning raised his eyebrows: "You are right, such people are rare, but they have appeared frequently recently, which shows that the family behind them is not ordinary."
"I have always doubted the Qi family, but with the three generations of Qi family elders, I don't think they can do this."
Xiao Man snorted coldly: "You should focus on those noble families. Your Mingyue Island has been passed down quietly for a thousand years. Mingyue Island is so powerful."
"Those noble families have been passed down for so many years. Who knows what cards they have hidden? Besides, the world was divided into three parts before, and the noble families ruled independently."
"Now that the world is unified, the aristocratic families will definitely not allow the Great Zhou to continue to grow, because this will greatly increase the deterrent power of the court."
"Dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever. The world is constantly breaking up and uniting, and who knows if there are any aristocratic families involved behind the scenes!"
Gu Xiangning nodded: "What you said makes sense. So what should we do now? The power of one family is already great, what if there are multiple families?"
Xiaoman also frowned, thinking about the whole problem. Now there are not many families left, so it is still possible to fight. And Xiaoman never murmured about the power in Qian Jiujiu's hands.
Looking at Gu Xiangning, he said, "Should we discuss this matter with my sister and see what she has to say?"
Gu Xiangning glanced at Xiaoman and said, "Sister is on vacation now, don't bother her with this matter. But you still need to tell her the general situation."
Xiaoman scoffed at this. Did they think that if they didn't tell Qian Jiujiu, she wouldn't get the news? They really underestimated Mu Yexiao and the others.
"Okay, I will take care of these things. Now let's interrogate these people. Someone, get this county lady's big iron pot ready."
Soon, thirty large iron pots were set up in the dungeon and filled with water. A raging fire began to burn underneath. Gu Xiangning frowned as he watched this.
"What are you going to do?"
Xiaoman blinked and said, "I have never tried boiling people in an iron pot, so I am going to give it a try. Come on, tie up the people and throw them in."
The guards in the dungeon shuddered when they saw the county lord's excitement. How could the county lord's hobby be so special? However, the guards were still very quick.
The group quickly threw the thirty people into thirty iron pots, and the water inside was already boiling.
The black-clothed men who had fainted were all awakened by the heat: "Ahh..."
Everyone screamed, Xiaoman laughed and looked at Gu Xiangning: "Is it fun? Listen, it sounds so good."
Gu Xiangning felt helpless and picked his ears. "It's so noisy. How can it be good? Shut up, all of you."
Those bad guys were crying so miserably only because they were not used to the situation at first, but now they have figured out their situation, and they have all fallen silent.
The dungeon suddenly became quiet...
