Xiahou Qingcheng's sudden appearance surprised everyone present.

What surprised everyone even more was the tone of Xiahou Qingcheng speaking to Du Hongsheng.

Originally, everyone thought Xiahou Qingcheng was just Du Hongsheng's family or subordinate, but Xiahou Qingcheng's tone of speaking to Du Hongsheng had a condescending aura, as if Du Hongsheng was her subordinate.

What surprised everyone even more was that Du Hongsheng seemed to take it for granted and said awkwardly: "This...!"

"This case will be interrogated by Lord Du, you can get out of here." Xiahou Qingcheng seemed a little impatient and pointed at Zhen Yujiang and said, "And you, hurry up and apologize to Lord Du."

Zhen Yujiang's status in Zhen County is no different from that of the prince. Who dares to be so presumptuous in front of him on weekdays?

The dignified county magistrate wanted to give three points in front of him. Now a young man pointed at his nose in front of everyone. He suddenly became furious and said angrily: "You are looking for death."

Xiahou Qingcheng did not give in at all, raised his eyebrows and pointed at Zhen Yujiang and said angrily: "What did you say? Say it again."

Zhen Yujiang didn't expect that there was someone who was arrogant than him. He would never allow Turtle City to have someone more arrogant than him. He picked up a chair and smashed it straight towards Xiahou Qingcheng.

"Stop!" Du Hongsheng shouted.

But the young master took action and was brisk. When Du Hongsheng shouted, the chair was already flying towards Xiahou Qingcheng with the wind.

"Crack!"

Before the chair could touch Xiahou Qingcheng, a black shadow came out from behind Xiahou Qingcheng like a ghost, and saw the sword light shattering. A chair instantly shattered into countless pieces in the sword light. The figure passed through the dispersed chair and rushed straight to Zhen Yujiang like a meteor. Before Zhen Yujiang could react, the cold sword tip was already pressing against Zhen Yujiang's throat.

Everything happened in the flash.

When everyone in the lobby came to their senses, they found that Zhen Yujiang was so scared that his face was pale and he didn't dare to move. His body was trembling like a sieve.

At this time, everyone also saw clearly that the black shadow suddenly appeared like a ghost, wearing a black suit, a stitch cover, and a hat, actually covered her face with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes that looked like a blade. The cold light in the eyes was like a blade, and also like a poisonous snake.

"There is an assassin!" Lang Shenshui finally reacted and shouted.

The swordsmen in the Zhenhou Mansion had no reaction at all when the men in the hat took action, and they didn't even see clearly how the long sword hit the young master's throat.

The young master of Zhenhou’s mansion was held hostage by the assassin, so of course everyone did not dare to act rashly.

Zhen Yujiang's face was pale, his pupils contracted, and the sword tip pressed against his throat. Although the sword edge was about an inch away from his skin, he could feel the chill coming out of the sword edge penetrated into his throat, and then spread to every inch of his skin.

He didn't dare to breathe too deeply, for fear of touching the sword when his throat was wriggling, because his intuition told him that the sword must be extremely sharp.

"Who did you let die?" asked the man in the hat without any emotion.

Zhen Yujiang knew that he had encountered a tough guy.

In Zhenjun, and even in Xiling, there were almost no one who knew his identity and dared to do something against him. However, the other party didn't care about his identity at all and dared to draw a sword against him in front of everyone. It can be seen that this person really had no scruples.

Since he dared to draw his sword, he had enough courage to pierce his throat.

Lang Shenshui shouted that he was an assassin, but Zhen Yujiang knew that the person in front of him was definitely not an assassin, and the swordsman must have appeared because of the handsome young man.

Since they appeared in the county magistrate's office, they must have something to do with Du Hongsheng.

Although his body could not move, Zhen Yujiang still tilted his eyes and looked at Du Hongsheng, hoping that the county magistrate could come forward to resolve the crisis. But Du Hongsheng lowered his head and said nothing as if he hadn't seen it.

"Who do you want to die?" The man in the hat asked repeatedly.

Zhen Yujiang said helplessly: "I am... I am speechless for a while, no one will die!"

"I know you are the young master of the Zhenhou Mansion." The man in the hat said coldly: "But I don't know my sword."

"I know." Zhen Yujiang had to surrender.

The man holding the sword with the sword was as steady as Mount Tai, and his voice was also low: "The county magistrate's office represents the court. Anyone who dances with swords and guns here is a blasphemy of the court. If you think of your first offense, take your people out of the county magistrate's office, don't have a second time."

Although Zhen Yujiang wanted to cut the swordsman in front of him into pieces, he could only say obediently: "There won't be a second time. I will take people away immediately. I won't care about this case too much."

"Very good." The man in the hat took back his sword, approached Zhen Yujiang's ear, and said softly. Zhen Yujiang's face turned pale. He took two steps back and saluted the man in the hat. Then he turned around and said, "Let's go!" He didn't dare to stay for a second, and almost trotted away from the lobby. Lang Shenshui was a little surprised, but he still left quickly with the swordsmen in green.

The originally tense lobby became calm and light in an instant.

Of course, Qin Xiao had already recognized that the man in the hat was the "Uncle Wen" he had seen that night, but he never expected that this man was a hidden swordsman.

He couldn't help looking at Xiahou Qingcheng. When he saw Xiahou Qingcheng, he was also looking at him, with his eyes connected, and Xiahou Qingcheng smiled and was so beautiful that he couldn't stop.

But before he looked at it, the man in the hat had already walked over to block Xiahou Qingcheng and blocked Qin Xiao's sight. Then he saw Xiahou Qingcheng lowering his head and retreating to the back hall. The man in the hat looked back at Qin Xiao, without saying much, and left alone.

Han Yunong was so smart. He saw it in his eyes and felt strange, but he didn't say much at this time. He put away his sword and bowed to Du Hongsheng, "Sir, I'm in a humble position, so I'll punish you."

Du Hongsheng waved his hand and asked Lu Siyuan, the official of the Cao Cao, and said, "Official Lu Cao, what do you think should be dealt with in this case?"

Zhen Yujiang had led his men away, but Lu Siyuan dared not pretend to behave in the county magistrate's office, and hurriedly bowed and said, "It depends on the decision of the Lord."

"Master Han, this matter needs to be investigated carefully." Du Hongsheng said: "But as the captain of the Master Mansion, Lu Hong actually colluded with others with evil thoughts. He could not keep the Master Mansion. If you want to convict any crime, your Master Mansion will punish you, so you can do it."

Han Yunong bowed and said, "A humble position should be punished severely."

"And Qin Xiao left his post without permission, although he was to send a document to the custody, after all, it was involved in this case. You should also be careful to be scolded by yourself." Du Hongsheng turned to Lu Siyuan again and asked with a smile: "Official Lu Cao, do you think this is appropriate?"

Lu Siyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, wise, just... let's deal with it like this."

"Without the order of my official, you, the people from the Zheng Cao rushed in with a knife. It's really impossible to tell me." Du Hongsheng frowned and said, "Do you think you should rectify the Zheng Cao yourself, or should I give the court a memorial to the court and ask the court to send someone to rectify it?"

Lu Siyuan's face changed slightly. He rushed to the door and saw more than a dozen officials from Xingcao standing in the yard. He looked left and right. He didn't know what to do, but he actually raised his legs and took off his official boots, smashed him over according to Xingcao's official official, and cursed: "Who told you to break in? This is the county magistrate's office. You bastards are so bold. Look back at how I deal with you. Get out, don't you get out."

The officials from the Zhengcao all turned around and ran away, and instantly they scattered birds and beasts.

Lu Siyuan jumped into the yard with one leg, picked up the official boots and put them on, then turned around and said respectfully to Du Hongsheng: "Sir, please leave first!" Seeing Du Hongsheng waved his hand, he did not dare to stay for too long, so he quickly retreated. Han Yunong glanced at Lu Hong and said in a deep voice: "Menzimo, take Qin Xiao and Lu Hong back to the Duwei Mansion and wait for my hair to fall."

Qin Xiao and Lu Hong both bowed and retreated outside the door. Meng Zimo whispered: "Go back to the Duwei Mansion first and wait for the Duwei Lord."

Qin Xiao didn't expect that the situation would be so ending.

After all, Zhen Yujiang was not a reasonable person. He brought people here today and didn't care what truth Lu Hong would tell. He made up his mind to bring the two back to Zhenhou's mansion.

Qin Xiao knew very well that if he really fell into the hands of Zhen Hou's Mansion this time, severe torture and confession would naturally be indispensable, and there was no possibility of getting out alive.

Of course, Han Yunong would not sit idly by and watch his subordinates be taken away. If Xiahou Qingcheng had not appeared in time, there would have been a bloodshed today.

However, Xiahou Qingcheng actually appeared in the county magistrate's mansion, which really made Qin Xiao never expect.

When he met Xiahou Qingcheng a few days ago, he only thought she was a wealthy lady in the pass, but today she could appear in the county magistrate's mansion, which is certainly not an ordinary giant lady. Moreover, the swordsman of the hat man is really incredible. I am afraid that ordinary wealthy businessmen cannot afford such a great swordsman.

"Little brother!"

Qin Xiao followed Lu Hong. Before he could walk to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, he heard a crisp cry from beside him. He turned his head and looked over and saw Xiahou Qingcheng waving to him.

Qin Xiao was stunned, but if Xiahou Qingcheng was not today, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He even the Duwei Mansion really owed this girl a big favor.

He bowed to Meng Zimo who was turning around in front, and pointed at Xiahou Qingcheng again. Meng Zimo glanced at Xiahou Qingcheng and said nothing.

Qin Xiao knew what Meng Zimo meant, so he rushed over. When Xiahou Qingcheng saw him coming, a happy smile appeared on his pretty face and said softly: "Are you okay? Don't be afraid of that group of bad people. If they cause trouble for you, I will definitely help you."

Qin Xiao also smiled and said, "Thank you so much today. I remember this favor."

"No need to thank you." Xiahou Qingcheng smiled even more happily: "It is natural to draw a sword to help when he sees injustice. Didn't you help me last time?" Thinking of something, he took out a bag of money from his arms and handed it over: "There are all gold in it. You helped me last time, and I will pay you back the money."

"Gold?" Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled, "I just paid two cents for you last time, it's not worth mentioning, you don't need this."

Xiahou Qingcheng hurriedly said, "You said we will meet again, and I will pay you back the money with my own hands."

"You helped me today, even if we are friends." Qin Xiao said: "Since you are friends, you don't have to be so disgusted. Last time I thought it was me who invited you to a meal."

Xiahou Qingcheng was stunned and looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Do you think I am a friend?"

"Of course." Qin Xiao said: "You are quite righteous. You are like me, so you are naturally friends."

Xiahou Qingcheng smiled like a flower and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are friends, and good friends are just loyal." He held the wallet and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, even if you treat me to dinner last time, wait until I treat you to dinner next time, do you think it's okay?"

Although Xiahou Qingcheng acted a little naively, Qin Xiao saw that she was pure and had a good impression of her, and smiled and said, "That's of course very good. By the way, do you live in the county magistrate's mansion?"

"Live here for the time being, but you may be leaving in the next two days." Xiahou Qingcheng said reluctantly: "I want to find an opportunity to invite you to dinner, and I don't know when it will be possible."

Meng Zimo coughed twice. Qin Xiao knew that this was the county magistrate's mansion, so he couldn't delay here. He whispered: "I definitely have a chance. I have to go back to the yamen. Take care of yourself." He didn't want to stay, and smiled at Xiahou Qingcheng and left in a hurry.
