In Xincheng County, people took to the streets as usual, preparing to go outside the city to find water to irrigate their fields.
However, when they arrived at the city gate, everyone found that the city gate was closed, a notice was posted at the door, and there were some police officers around them watching them.
When everyone saw this, they immediately panicked. Originally, the rice in the fields was short of water, and now they were not allowed to leave the city. Wouldn't this mean that they would watch their rice being eaten to death!
"My lords, why isn't the city gate open?"
"Yes, we are still waiting to leave the city to find water."
"This summer, we are all worried about water. How can we close the city gate?"
Everyone was talking a lot, all complaining that the city gate was closed.
The leading detective frowned when he saw this, took a step forward, pointed at the crowd and shouted:
"A female assassin sneaked into the government office last night in an attempt to assassinate the county magistrate!"
"We are ordered to close the city gate and hunt down the female assassin!"
"If you know something and fail to report it, and you are found out, you will be treated as an accomplice."
These words to scare the people made everyone's expressions change greatly, and they all took a few steps back.
They are all ordinary people, and no one wants to have anything to do with the female assassin.
Of course, they did not dare to mention opening the city gate at this time.
Anyone who tries to open the city gate at this time will be arrested as accomplices of the female assassin.
For a time, the people on the scene dispersed and did not dare to surround the city gate anymore.
Just as the crowd dispersed, a slim-looking woman wearing blue clothes and a black veil emerged from the crowd.
The group of detectives were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.
From the other party's eyes, they also saw shock, as if they didn't expect that the female assassin was actually here.
Soon, a policeman reacted: "That's her, arrest her quickly!"
Shen Youwei snorted coldly, spun around, and ran towards the street behind.
She originally wanted to blend in with the crowd and see if there was a chance to get out of the city.
Unexpectedly, the group of policemen did not open the city gate, and the group of people dispersed because they did not dare to leave the city, and then she was revealed.
If your whereabouts are exposed, you can only leave first.
"Don't run!"
"You can't run away, this is Xincheng County, where can you run away!"
"Stop her quickly!"
The policemen from behind quickly chased after him.
This is a good opportunity to build a successful career!
If they can catch the female assassin, they will definitely be rewarded by the county magistrate.
Moreover, the other party is just a woman, and there are five or six men among them. Isn’t it easy to win over the other party?
Shen Youwei raised her eyebrows and realized that the police behind her were pursuing her. She immediately turned around and retreated instead of advancing.
Although the sharp sword in his hand was not unsheathed, it was still used as a sharp sword and swept left and right, instantly sweeping away the two policemen at the front.
When the three people who rushed up from behind saw this, their expressions changed drastically.
Just as he was about to fight back, his vision went dark, and the sword scabbard hit their cheeks at the same time.
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
"boom!"
The three of them were swept away at the same time, screaming in mid-air.
When he came back to his senses, he saw the figure of the female assassin nowhere in front of him.
"Damn it, let her run away!"
"We are no match for her. You stay here while I go back to find the adults to mobilize the manpower!"
"Yes, this is not far from the county government office. As long as our people arrive, she will not escape!"
Being beaten by a woman, as a man and a police officer, these people can no longer keep their dignity.
If word of this gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh to death.
So they must catch the female assassin today!
Soon, Liu Guoan received the news and immediately sent out many police officers and some brave people who wanted to get the bounty.
Yes, in order to catch Shen Youwei, Liu Guoan issued a reward order!
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Liu Guoan is determined to win this arrest!
Immediately, the entire street was blocked, and sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time. Shen Youwei, who had discovered her whereabouts, could not escape at all.
As time passed, and soon in the afternoon, Su Cheng finally brought the servants of Shen Mansion to Xincheng County.
At this time, the city gate has been opened, but there is an additional interrogation procedure.
Su Cheng was sitting in the carriage, and the servant outside reported: "Uncle, there is an interrogation at the door. It seems that something happened."
Su Cheng was startled and quickly got off the carriage and looked towards the city gate.
Sure enough, there were four policemen at the gate of the city who were checking people coming in and out. Almost everyone was questioned.
Without knowing why Xincheng County would conduct an interrogation, he could not reveal his identity rashly.
If this interrogation has something to do with Shen Youwei, then he will definitely be noticed when he comes to the city as the Shen family's aunt.
"In this case, you guys wait outside the city while I go into the city alone to take a look." Su Cheng decided to enter the city alone.
"This... uncle, how can you enter the city alone? You'd better let us follow you."
"Yes, uncle, if something happens to you, how will we explain it to you?"
The servants are all from the Shen Mansion, and their bonds of prostitution are with the Shen Mansion, so of course they are loyal to the people in the Shen Mansion.
But Su Cheng pointed to the police officer at the city gate and explained: "There is a sudden investigation in the city. Something must have happened. It is not appropriate for us to go in with a big fanfare."
"Don't worry, I'm just going in to take a look. Nothing will happen. You guys are waiting for me in the woods over there."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the city gate without waiting for his servants' persuasion.
Worried about Shen Youwei's safety, he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
Soon, Su Cheng came to the city gate and a policeman stopped him.
"Where are you from, what is your name, and what are you doing in the city?"
"My lord, I am from Xinqiao Town. There has been a recent drought. I have come to the city to join my relatives."
The detective looked Su Cheng up and down and saw that he was wearing brocade, so he knew that he was not an ordinary person.
Moreover, Su Cheng seemed to be just a weak scholar, so he probably had nothing to do with the female assassin.
"go in!"
"Thank you, sir!" Su Cheng saluted before entering the city.
As soon as he entered the city, he saw a notice posted inside the city, and many people were watching around him.
"You don't know, don't you know, that female assassin is said to be very powerful, she can fly over walls and fly over walls!"
"Really? No wonder she could draw the county magistrate's face with a pen."
"Hey, I heard that the county magistrate's face turned green with anger and he doesn't even dare to go out now."
"It's strange to say that people from the county government have clearly surrounded her, but why can't they find her?"
"Who says otherwise? The street is so big, where could she run? Rumor has it that blood was found there, and I don't know if it belongs to the assassin or the government officer."
From these people's words, Su Cheng got an important clue.
Shen Youwei is surrounded!
Not only that, Shen Youwei also taught the Xincheng County Magistrate a lesson by drawing on the face of the county magistrate with a pen!
No wonder people wanted to arrest her with such great fanfare.
Let alone a county magistrate, even an ordinary person cannot accept having graffiti scrawled on his face.
Also, blood was found at the scene of the siege. Could it be that Shen Youwei was injured?
If you are really injured, you must find her for treatment immediately, otherwise there is a risk of infection.
The level of medical care in this world is very low, and even a small injury can be fatal!
At this moment, Su Cheng was anxious!
He has never been so worried about Shen Youwei as he is now.
She was obviously just someone he used to make soft food for, but now it's like he is his heartthrob.
No, we must find Shen Youwei immediately!
However, those people also said that Shen Youwei disappeared on that street, and so many government officials searched for it for so long but could not find it.
I have just arrived in Xincheng County and am not familiar with the place. Where can I find Shen Youwei?
