Although the government did not issue a prohibition order, the mayor of Sun Town had already warned these people not to allow outsiders to stay here, for fear of harming other people's lives for no reason, and for fear of getting a lawsuit.
After all, their life today can no longer stand the toss.
The magistrate did not blame them, but turned to look at the woman and said, "Ma'am, look at this..."
The woman didn't turn her head and ignored him.
Instead, he clasped his hands together and quickly formed a seal. Anyone who saw it would know that he was not an ordinary person.
The prefect took a few steps back in embarrassment, and told everyone not to disturb.
Not long after, the woman let go of her palms, gathered them in her sleeves, looked at the magistrate and said, "Order everyone to surround this place, and don't let any living things out."
She didn't wait for the magistrate's words, so she walked in alone, the magistrate stretched out his hand and said, "Madam, why don't I accompany you in?"
"No need."
With a cold voice and ethereal figure, the woman walked slowly into the bamboo forest.
Everyone surrounded the outside of the bamboo grove without any movement.
Not long after, there was a sudden tremor inside, and the magistrate hurriedly backed away.
"Ma'am, ma'am, are you all right?"
"Do you want to help?" The magistrate stretched his neck and shouted inside, but was stopped by the officials below to prevent him from entering.
There was nothing else inside except the movement just now, he was a little worried, but thinking of the woman's usual demeanor, he had no choice but to wait here obediently, but still turned around anxiously.
Officers and soldiers next to him came forward and asked, "My lord, do you really not need to go and see? Madam is a girl, is there any danger?"
"Go and see." The prefect glared at him angrily, really not long-eyed.
His wife is so powerful, how can they need these trash...
"Yes, this subordinate will go now." Hehe, he was really blind, the magistrate was immediately angry, he raised his leg and kicked him on the ass, kicking him on his back.
"Go, you idiot, do you know where this is? This forest was planted by my wife. If there is danger, it will be your turn to show courteousness?"
"Ah... my lord, forgive me, my lord, please stop kicking me."
At this moment, someone exclaimed.
"Someone came out."
The magistrate immediately stopped his feet and ran over in a hurry.
"Ma'am, you have come out, I am worried to death."
The woman glanced at him lightly, and said, "There are three people inside, let someone carry them out."
"Well, yes, yes." The magistrate didn't take his eyes off the woman, and then waved back.
"You guys go in quickly, and bring those three ignorant guys out to me."
Not long after, a man, a woman, and a teenager were carried out and thrown on the ground outside.
The mayor of Sun Town and other common people surrounded him.
"My lord, this is a child from our town, called Xiaoliuzi."
Others followed suit, hoping that the magistrate would let the boy go.
The magistrate pointed to Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince next to him, and asked, "Then what about the two of them? It's the person you mentioned."
"Yes, yes, it's them." The mayor didn't dare to hide anything, but he still walked over carefully, checked their noses, and felt relieved when he saw that they were still breathing.
He didn't know what the magistrate was going to do. Just as he was about to intercede, he saw a majestic magistrate running up to the woman just now, and asked cautiously, "Ma'am, look, what do you want to do with them?"
The woman ordered as if nothing had happened, "Let someone show them the injury, if there is no serious problem, then escort them back to the government office."
The mayor walked out as soon as he heard it.
"My lord, ma'am, you can't do this. The little six is from the town. His parents just passed away, so he likes to run around and he hasn't done anything wrong. Your lord has a lot, so let him go."
When the people here heard that they were going to the government, they were all scared, and they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for Little Six.
"Do you dare to stop my lord from handling the case? It's against the sky, let me get out of the way." He waved back, "Are you all dead people? Why don't you pull these troublesome people away and let Madam pass by."
"Madam, please."
After such a fuss, I originally wanted to invite a doctor in the town, but now the magistrate asked them to carry Xiao Ting and others all the way back to Lin'an Mansion.
Walking halfway, Xiao Ting opened her eyes.
The three of them were placed on a flatbed.
She rubbed her back and shouted, "Hey, hello, hello, who are you? Where are you taking us?"
The officers and soldiers next to her naturally ignored her, and the coachman continued to shake his whip to let her go forward.
Xiao Ting was unhappy, and looked at the Ninth Prince next to her.
He hasn't woken up yet, but thinking of how he looked when they left and protecting himself, he must have been seriously injured.
The boy Xiaoliuzi was also lying on the side, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Xiao Ting became anxious, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
She didn't jump down, but just had a good chat with them, wanting to stop first, she was worried about Ninth Prince's injury, but these people not only ignored her, they even beat her with whips.
A sneer appeared from the corner of Xiao Ting's mouth, she grabbed the whip and threw the officer and soldier out.
Grandma, she was afraid of hurting the Ninth Prince and the others, and thought she would be easy to bully.
"Stop it for me."
She took the whip, threw off the officers and soldiers who were driving the carriage, and then pulled the reins of the carriage. The horse suffered from pain and obediently stopped.
The movement here was small at first, and no one paid attention to it, but in an instant, she was surrounded by all the officers and soldiers, and the sedan chair and carriage in front of her also stopped slowly.
"Bold and unreasonable, why are you making trouble? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The magistrate came down in a daze, and there were officers and soldiers beside him to teach Xiao Ting for him.
It's just a little girl, to be so unreasonable, she must be a troublemaker.
Xiao Ting looked at this man wearing an official uniform, it seems that the official is not young.
"Who are you? Where are you taking us?" Xiao Ting stood on the flatbed cart with an extremely arrogant look, holding a horsewhip in her hand, staring at the magistrate.
"Heh, she's quite imposing. Where's the yellow-haired girl, she won't kneel when she sees the prefect." The man continued to speak for the prefect.
"Master Zhifu, I have never heard of it." As for the kneeling in the second part of the man's sentence, Xiao Ting ignored it, what a joke, she has never kneeled even for the emperor, kneeling for such a person, what is it!
"Bold."
Xiao Ting scolded, "Shut up."
"Where are you going now? My husband is seriously injured, hurry up and find a doctor to show him." Holding a whip, she was not afraid of so many people.
The magistrate saw Xiao Ting's awe-inspiring aura, unlike ordinary girls, so he decided to investigate her identity first, and then make further calculations.
Immediately laughed and said: "This lady is right, um, this officer is taking you to the city to find a doctor."
"Oh, then let's go quickly." Xiao Ting was slightly taken aback, she was so talkative, she couldn't make trouble anymore.
The most important thing is to check the Ninth Prince's injury right now.
The magistrate waved his hand and asked everyone to move on, then he walked back into the sedan chair, and someone beside him followed by the sedan chair curtain, and asked, "That woman is so savage, how can you be so indulgent, my lord?"
"You didn't look at her clothes, they are very expensive, first send someone to find out where they came from."
"My lord said, this subordinate will do it now."
Staggering all the way to Lin'an government office, they were arranged to live in the same house.
Afterwards, several doctors came over to treat the Ninth Prince.
The result was a bit unsatisfactory, they said it was nothing serious, and they couldn't find out why, so they prescribed a bunch of prescriptions for regulating Qi and asking them to grab the medicine.
Xiao Ting did not believe such a result, she needed a good rest to recover her spiritual power, so what did the Ninth Prince take a good rest to recover
The situation at that time was more complicated. They found the opening of the formation, and the Ninth Prince blasted that place open with internal force, and then they were thrown out by a strong force.
She only remembered that the Ninth Prince protected her at that time, and she didn't know the situation at that time.
But these doctors couldn't find out why, so Xiao Ting had no choice but to give up.
Before the magistrate could find out the origins of Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince, the woman called madam came over.
"Madam, what's your name?"
On someone else's territory, Xiao Ting still remembered what the Ninth Prince said, and she couldn't reveal her identity easily, so she rolled her eyes a few times, and then said: "I can't tell you this, please forgive me when I'm away from home."
Such a straightforward refusal made the woman slightly stunned.
"Well, I want to know what you did in that bamboo forest?"
"Does it have something to do with you?" Xiao Ting blinked, and suddenly remembered what Xiaoliuzi once told him, this bamboo forest was planted by a lady, could it be the woman in front of her
"Naturally it has something to do with it. If a girl goes in for fun, that's all. Curiosity can be a reason, but if there are other purposes, that's another matter."
She wore a veil on her face, but her eyes were very watery.
Xiao Ting didn't ask her to sit down, she just sat there by herself.
Thinking about what the woman meant by saying this.
Of course, with her IQ, she couldn't play these detours.
So, she gave up, "My husband and I just passed by here and planned to leave by boat, but the ferry has been changed. We didn't know it beforehand. It happened that because of the acclimatization, we fell ill and stayed here for half a month."
Xiao Ting blinked her eyes, she didn't cheat her by saying that.
"So you went to that bamboo forest because you were curious?" the woman spoke at a strange speed.
"Of course, Little Six and the others said that there would be cannibalism. I was curious, so I went to have a look. My husband loved me, so he did what I wanted." Xiao Ting was very proud when she said the last sentence.
"Then have you ever encountered any strange things? Or seen any strange things?"
Xiao Ting suddenly felt that when the woman in front of her asked this question, she seemed very nervous.
"No, there are only bamboos in there, it's not fun at all, and it's not scary." She had a disappointed expression on her face.
"Then why did you faint?" Obviously the woman didn't believe Xiao Ting's words.
"I don't know, we were looking for something fun, and suddenly a strong force knocked me out, and I was in the carriage after waking up." Xiao Ting admired in her heart, it turned out that she was so talented, her answers were flawless, and she was really smart.
