The dungeon of the Sheriff's Mansion is not big, and the 600 guards are mainly responsible for protecting the Sheriff. The dungeon guards are small and the dungeon is small. Generally, those detained are servants who committed crimes in the sheriff's mansion, or ordinary people who were arrested by the sheriff's lord by name. If it is a real felon... They are all locked in a big prison with six doors.
At this moment, in the dungeon of the Sheriff's Mansion.
A middle-aged man was tied to a wooden frame. His clothes were a little torn. Through the torn clothes, we could see the welts all over his body. He lowered his head and was panting.
"My lord." The healthy servants in the dungeon saluted respectfully.
"Patriarch Liu, I was too busy just now. I have to meet people from all walks of life in Guangling County. Now I have time to meet you." The governor of Gongye walked over with a smile.
Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the approaching Sheriff Gongye, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Sheriff, Lord Sheriff! I am willing to do my best for Lord Sheriff, and please let the Sheriff My lord, give the Liu family a way to survive."
Liu family.
It was also known by the folks as the top three big families in Guangling County, but in fact, among the top three families, the Liu family has the weakest foundation! Because the Liu family used to work for the former county guard 'Wen Junshou', their own strength and background were weak, and now Wen Junshou has been promoted! In Guangling County, the Liu family lost their backing.
"The Lord Sheriff has not yet arrived in Guangling, so I sent someone to offer a large amount of money to him. If the Lord Sheriff needs my Liu family to do anything, just ask." The middle-aged man said repeatedly.
"Didn't I tell you what I need your Liu family to do?" Gongye County Sheriff said.
The middle-aged man continued: "Yes, yes..."
"Didn't your people tell you?" Gongye County Sheriff nodded slightly, "Then your Liu family's crimes this time are really in vain! I'll tell you again, it's very simple, your Liu family handed over 300,000 You can get two taels of silver, or you can use a shop or a house to make up 300,000 taels. Then I can write off everything about your Liu family, and I won’t pursue it. Otherwise, none of your Liu family will survive."
"Three hundred thousand taels, how can my Liu family have three hundred thousand taels." The head of the Liu family was full of tears, "Master the county guard, I have done things for Wen Jun in the past, but I also donated a large amount of money to Wen Jun Shou, there is not much left, even counting the many houses and shops, it is barely more than one hundred thousand taels."
"It seems that you don't want to live." The governor of Gongye nodded slightly, "But you know, there are two ways to die, one is to die simply and neatly, and the other is to be tortured ten times if you can't live. Die in half a month? Tsk tsk, patriarch Liu just had a taste of the method of torturing people in the prison, and the real method has not been used yet."
"I really can't get it out." Patriarch Liu begged.
"Let Patriarch Liu try all the punishments in the prison, let him taste them for three days, and then let him die after three days!" Gongye County Guard said calmly, "Let the whole family of the Liu family accompany Patriarch Liu together."
"Yes." The health servants who were in charge of punishment at the side responded respectfully.
"Gongye Bing! You treat people's lives like this, who will dare to do things for you in the future?" Patriarch Liu said with a grim expression, "Who will trust you?"
"Convinced? No, I just want them to be afraid of me." The governor of Gongye sneered, "As for doing things for me, there are too many people in the world who want to do things for me."
Patriarch Liu roared: "I can't do anything to you, but there will be retribution, there will be retribution."
"retribution?"
The governor of Gongye sneered and walked out.
…
And at the moment in a house in Donghai County.
The chubby Liu Qi was walking back and forth in the courtyard, with the dim light of a lantern shining beside him.
"Qi'er." The woman at the side walked out of the room, "Do you have a letter from Guangling?"
"Mother, not yet." Liu Qi said repeatedly.
The voice just fell.
"My lord, my lord, I have a letter, I have a letter." Pushing open the door from outside, a young servant rushed over with the letter.
After Liu Qi had connected, Zhanxin's face turned pale when he saw it.
"What's wrong?" asked the woman next to her.
"Father, they were all taken away." Liu Qi's voice was trembling, "A group of unknown masters took Liu's family away. If it's as expected, only the new sheriff will do it."
Patriarch Liu is very cautious.
He inquired about the reputation of the new county magistrate 'Gongye Bing', and knew that this person was domineering and powerful, so he cautiously sent a large number of Liu family's children and grandchildren away from Guangling, and sent them to three places. Liu Qi, who is like the eldest son... brought more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, and even the eldest lady and others followed Liu Qi to Donghai County, the largest county in Jiangzhou! In places like this, no matter how long the guard of Gongye County is, he can't affect this place.
The Liu family has also branched out into three branches since then!
Patriarch Liu himself has grown old, and it is difficult to leave his homeland. Secondly, many shops, restaurants, and houses could not be converted into cash so quickly, so he stayed in Guangling with a few Liu family members, and he also believed that the magistrate's work should not be too ugly.
Who would have thought that the governor of Gongye was too ruthless, even if all the remaining donations of the Liu family in Guangling were not enough, it would cost a full three hundred thousand taels... Then all the money that had been distributed to the three branches must be taken back. barely enough.
"Master." The woman next to her suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Mother, mother." Liu Qi panicked even hugging his mother.
At this moment, Liu Qi still remembered the scene where his father ordered him to do things.
"Qi'er, my Liu family's foundation is weak, and we depended on Governor Wen to have such a great fortune. Governor Wen is quite kind, but the new governor is hard to say. The Liu family's foundation is weak and may collapse at any time. We can't bet our hopes on the new governor. As the county guard, you are the eldest son, and the most people follow you to Donghai County. From now on, you will have to rely on yourself." Patriarch Liu said.
"Father, come with us."
"I've been in Guangling for so many years, and I don't want to leave. The new county guard wants money, and the Guangling Liu family will give him all. He wants my life? This will ruin his reputation, and it won't happen." Patriarch Liu said, "No matter what happens to the Guangling Liu family in the future, don't come back from this line of yours. You will be the Donghai Liu family in the future."
"The child understands."
Recall the scene at that time.
Looking at the letter at this time, Liu Qi understood that the new sheriff was even more terrifying than expected. Before he arrived in Guangling, he sent someone to arrest Liu's family first.
There will be no father to rely on in the future! The Liu family in Donghai relies on him, Liu Qi. He has a mother, younger brothers and sisters, and many Liu family members who follow rely on him.
Liu Qi suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
"Gongye Bing." Liu Qi was filled with grief and indignation, but was very powerless.
*****
Jiushan Island.
In the main hall, the island lord of Jiushan sat there, his eyes flashing with anger.
"My junior brother really has stiff wings, so you don't give me face like this." Jiushan island master snorted, and he also knew that he couldn't help his junior brother. On the surface, his junior brother was in the congenital Void Core Realm, but that was because he wanted to infiltrate Entering the imperial court, the superficial strength is all in disguise! However, his real strength has already reached the innate real alchemy state, and it can be completely hidden because of the practice of secret methods.
Only then did he have the confidence to enter the court of the human race without fear of being discovered. After all, once the method of the demon is discovered, the court will definitely kill it.
Has such strength! With the power of the imperial court and the government, some small tricks of the island master of Jiushan are useless. As for doing it yourself? Yun Moshan would probably be furious! After all, 'Gongye Bing' is an important chess piece sent by Yunmoshan to the imperial court.
Therefore, he is a majestic innate golden core realm monster, and he has nothing to do with this junior brother.
"Master." The Great Cyan Bull Demon came in and said respectfully, "Master called me, why?"
"Go and find your fifth junior brother." The island master of Jiushan ordered, "He is innately in the Realm Realm, and he is also good at flying. Now the old man Yuanfu and the Hongyu lady have left Guangling. Let your fifth junior brother fly away at night. Go and attack the Qin Mansion, kill Qin Yun to seize the treasure. With his flying skills, he can escape at any time, and the government can't do anything to him."
"Fifth Junior Brother may not agree." Qingniu Dayao said.
"Tell him, if he brings the heart and soul of boys and girls, I can also give him the first volume of "The Secret Scroll of the Heavenly Demon"." The island master of Jiushan said.
The big green bull demon hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Yes."
"The Secret Scroll of Heavenly Demon" is one of the top inheritance among monsters. The master of Jiushan Island only got the first scroll, and the Qingniu Daemon was willing to serve for so long. Among the many apprentices, only the Qingniu Daemon got the first scroll .
This time, he gave the first volume to the fifth junior brother.
It is conceivable that the island master of Nine Mountains wants the hearts and minds of those boys and girls, mainly because the water god and the big demon are dead, so it is too difficult to collect so many more.
…
night.
Qin Mansion.
Qin Yun and his father Qin Liehu were drinking tea and chatting together.
"Didn't you see the Liu family when the governor hosted the banquet tonight?" Qin Liehu said.
"I didn't see it." Qin Yun nodded. The 'Liu Qi' he taught himself in Yanfenglou was the Liu family.
"Your father and I are also headhunters with silver medals from the six gates. I know many brothers. The news I heard is...the Liu family should have been arrested in the dungeon of the county guard's mansion." Qin Liehu shook his head, "Our new county Shou, it's ruthless enough. Much more ruthless than that Wen Junshou."
Qin Yun was surprised: "The governor of the county just arrived in Guangling today, and the Liu family was arrested?"
"Before he arrived, the Liu family was arrested." Qin Liehu said.
