"Hou Qi, I ask you, where is that Mr. Xia?" Since Lin Muyan had made up his mind to let Hou Qi take the blame, he naturally would not let him go and asked coldly.

"The little one... the little one doesn't know where he is." Hou Qi heard this and subconsciously turned around and looked at the crowd outside the lobby for a few glances, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Lin Muyan, "Big... sir, the little one has remembered his appearance. As long as he appears again, the little one will definitely recognize him."

"Tell me where he is from Hejian Mansion and whose surname is his?" Lin Muyan greeted Qi quietly.

When Lin Muyan dealt with Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia claimed that his name was Xia Ren, from Sanhe County, Hejian Prefecture. Hou Qi was just a little man, so he should not know the information about Mr. Xia.

"The youngest only knows that he is from Hejian Mansion." As Lin Muyan expected, Hou Qi did not know Mr. Xia's information. He raised his head and looked at Lin Muyan earnestly, "Sir, as long as you send someone to Hejian Mansion to check, the identity of Mr. Xia will naturally be clear."

"Bold Hou Qi, do you think this official is so easy to fool? It is really hateful to have fabricated Mr. Xia and the affair between Xia Jian and Yin to disturb the court." Lin Muyan's face darkened when she heard this, slapped the auspicious tree and said sternly, "Do you know your guilt!"

When things got to this point, Lin Muyan certainly had to send someone to Hejian Prefecture to investigate. He wanted to see if there was a Xia family in Sanhe County and whether the eldest son of the Xia family was the Xia Ren he had met. But this was what he was going to do in private and would never let outsiders know.

"Sir, sir, not only are the young people, but these people have also met Mr. Xia." Hou Qiyi was anxious when he heard this, and pointed his hand at Daniu and others, and defended loudly.

"Master, the young man and others have indeed met Mr. Xia, but he only stayed in the small village for a while before leaving. The young man didn't know who he was." Da Niu did not deny seeing Mr. Xia, and said seriously.

"In this way, none of you know the background of Mr. Xia?" Lin Muyan glanced at Daniu and Hou Qi and said in a deep voice.

Daniu and Hou Qi nodded immediately. Although neither of them knew Mr. Xia’s identity, they were in different moods at this time. Daniu just made a mistake in a weathering case. At worst, he was scolded by Lin Muyan, so he was in a relaxed mood. Hou Qi reported a fake case and was sentenced, so he was in an extremely bad mood.

"Hou Qi, since you can't prove that Mr. Xia asked you to report the so-called 'Xia Jian' and 'Yin', and you can't tell the identity of Mr. Xia, then I just need to sentence you to 'contempt the laws and regulations and disrupt the court'." Seeing this, Lin Muyan sneered, reached out to draw a sign from the signboard, and threw it on the ground with a swing of his hand, "Come here, I will be punished for twenty years and have worked hard for three years."

Several yamen runners then walked forward, pressed Hou Qi, who was bloodless, to the ground, took off his pants, revealing his fleshy butt.

"Sir, sir, the little one really didn't lie. It was Mr. Xia who asked the little one to sue." Hou Qi was so scared that he was speechless and shouted, "Sir, you have seen that Mr. Xia. If he hadn't said that he had already prepared his relationship with the adult, how could the little one come to sue him?"

"It's just nonsense!" Lin Muyan heard this, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he suddenly slapped the aggro, shouting at the yamen runner standing on both sides of Hou Qi holding a water and fire stick, "Beat, beat this crazy gangster who is full of nonsense in the county."

After hearing this, the executioner looked at each other and swung the water and fire sticks and hit Hou Qi's butt. After a few sticks, Hou Qi's skin was so full of flesh and blood that it was fuzzy and bloody.

Hou Qi pulled open his throat and howled. Although the injuries on his butt seemed shocking, it was actually just a bit of flesh and blood. It did not hurt his muscles and bones. It would be healed as long as he recuperated for a while.

Because the yamen runners in the yamen had old age and Hou Qi, they showed mercy. Otherwise, if they really had to follow Lin Muyan's instructions, they would directly hurt Hou Qi's muscles and bones, causing Hou Qi to suffer a lifelong illness.

When the yamen runners executed Hou Qi, among the crowd watching the fun outside the lobby, a young man dressed in a hawker glanced at Hou Qi who was screaming, turned around and left, squeezed out the crowd and walked out of the county government.

At the same time, two figures in the crowd also walked out and quietly followed the vendor.

After leaving the county government office, not far away, the vendor pretended to be picking up things and looked back vigilantly. After finding that no one was following him, he quickly left.

What the vendor didn't know was that there were two figures following him quietly, keeping a warning distance from him. The vendor looked back several times but didn't notice them.

Shortly after the vendor and the two figures left, a group of dusty people rushed into the city gate on horseback and arrived at the county government at a rapid speed.

Among this group of people, Zhao Yuzhao was the leader. She ran from Shuangqing Town to Fangshan County Government, and she did not get in during the period.

"Oh no!" Looking at the dark crowd in the county government office, Zhao Yuzhao felt a sudden chill. It seemed that she was late to hurry up and the trial of Tan Zong had already begun, so she jumped off her horse and walked quickly towards the county government office.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The guards followed immediately, and several guards opened the way in front, pushing away the people blocking the front.

The people who were pushed away were naturally unhappy. Some people were ready to start scolding, but suddenly they found that the guards were like wolves and tigers, as if they were not easy to provoke, so they closed their mouths tactfully.

In the lobby, Hou Qi, who was beaten by a stick, fainted, his butt was covered in blood and blood, and he was terrible, and he lay on the ground motionless.

Lin Muyan was scolding Daniu, "Xia Jian" and "Yin" and warning them that if he was so reckless next time, he would definitely convict Daniu and others.

Suddenly, a noisy sound rang out in the yard of the county government. Lin Muyan looked up and saw a group of strong men walking through the crowd surrounded by a handsome young man.

"Tan Zong." When he saw Hou Qihou lying on the ground, Zhao Yuzhao was shocked and walked straight forward, leaning over with concern.

"Who are you? You dare to force yourself to break into the court." Seeing this, Lin Muyan stood up and shouted at Zhao Yuzhao and the guards.

Upon hearing this, a large guard walked forward, took out his waist sign with a blank expression, and reached in front of Lin Muyan.

"Big...Big Inner Guard." Looking at the waist sign, Lin Muyan was shocked. He never expected that the Great Inner Guard would appear here.

"Is Hou Qi related to the royal family?" The next moment, Lin Muyan's face turned pale, and she looked at Zhao Yuzhao who was leaning over to check on Hou Qi in horror. It was obvious that these big guards were escorting the young master.

After leaning over to see Hou Qi's face, Zhao Yuzhao was slightly stunned, then stood up and looked at Liu Kun standing aside.

"Who is from Zhangli Village?" Liu Kun also found that the person lying on the ground was not Tan Zong, and asked the people outside the lobby to watch the fun. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

If Tan Zong was really beaten like this, then Liu Kun would not even have time to cry. From Zhao Yuzhao's previous bent over to check Hou Qi's movements, he keenly realized that Zhao Yuzhao seemed to care unusually for Tan Zong.

Liu Kun was praying in his heart, praying that the mountain road was washed away by rain, so that the people in Zhangli Village would not send Tan Zong, and he could "redeem his merits and atone for his sins."

"I...I am from Zhang Li Village." Da Niu, who was kneeling beside him, said to Liu Kun when he heard this.

"Where is the adulterer whom you sent you?" Liu Kun suddenly felt cold when he heard this. Since the people from Zhang Li Village were in the court, Tan Zong and Qiao Yu must have sent it, but why didn't they go in the court? So he walked up and leaned into Daniu's ear and asked in a low voice. He didn't want Zhao Yuzhao to hear the four words "adulterererererer".

"There is no adulterer, we are wrong, it is my ninth brother and ninth brother's wife who were misunderstood." Daniu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and pointed at "Xia Jian" and "Yin" and said calmly.

"I'm talking about the two people tied to the trees behind you." Liu Kun turned his head and looked at "Xia Jian" and "Yin Shi", frowned slightly, and said to Daniu again, "You'd better tell me where they are, otherwise your Zhang Li Village will cause big trouble."

When Liu Kun mentioned the details tied to the tree in the back mountain, the bull's eyes suddenly showed a look of shock. Except for the people in Zhang Li Village, no one knew about this matter, unless... unless they were the planner of the incident.

"They should go find your people." Before coming to the county town, Daniu had already learned from Zhao Yalan that Tan Zong was a not simple person. Now seeing Liu Kun and others breaking straight into the court and the county magistrate was silent, he immediately knew that he could not provoke the man in front of him. After glanced at the crowd, he said to Liu Kun.

When Liu Kun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. Judging from the current situation, Tan Zong and Qiao Yu should have escaped, so his "sin" would be much less.

"Princess, I know where Lord Tan is." Then, Liu Kun quickly walked to Zhao Yuzhao and whispered to her.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhao walked out of the county government and Liu Kun and others hurriedly followed her.

The people in front knew that these people were not easy to mess with, so they spontaneously gave up a way, secretly whispering and talking, and randomly guessing the identities of these people who did not take the county magistrate seriously.

"Get out of the house." Lin Muyan's face turned pale. From the sudden appearance of the big guards, he realized that he was involved in a big trouble and had no intention of continuing to go to the house. After shouting, he hurriedly left. He needed time to digest what happened this afternoon.

At the same time, the vendor came to an inn in the county, went up to the second floor, knocked on the door of one of the rooms, and several big men were sitting on chairs and resting.

"Is that Tan Zong very embarrassed?" A man with a big man with a national face sitting in the first place, opened his eyes and asked with a smile when he saw the vendor coming.

"What happened, Tan Zong and the little girl disappeared." The vendor picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, and briefly told the big man in the room what happened in the county government.

"How could this happen!" The man with a big man with a national face showed a look of surprise when he heard this. Then he remembered something and said to the vendor, "When you came, did you notice anything abnormal?"

"No, I checked it carefully, there was no tail behind it." The vendor shook his head and sat down on the chair beside him in depression. "How should we report to the leader?"

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go." The man with a national face pondered for a moment and gave a decisive order. He felt that the matter in the county government was too strange, which made him feel uneasy.

"Can you still leave?" As soon as the man with a big face with a national face finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside the door. Then a bang, the door was kicked open. Tan Zong and Qiao Yu, dressed in villagers' clothes, walked in one after another, and looked at the people in the room coldly.

Seeing this, the big man with a national face and others pulled out his waist knives and looked at Tan Zong vigilantly.

"Say, who asked you to frame me?" Tan Zong felt that the man with a national character was the leader of these people, so he turned his eyes on him and asked expressionlessly.

"You escaped from the villagers." The man with a big man with a national character face showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

"If you don't say the mastermind behind the scenes, then no one can leave here." Tan Zong sneered, reached out and took out a short knife from his arms.

"Brother, I'll let them tell the truth." Qiao Yu walked out from behind Tan Zong, holding a dagger in both hands, staring at the big man with a national face and frosty face and others.

Looking at Qiao Yu, who was full of murderous aura, the man with a Chinese face couldn't help but hold the hilt tightly, and his face became a little ugly. He knew that Tan Zong and Qiao Yu were both very good at it, especially Qiao Yu, who was afraid that even if they got together, they would not be her opponent.

"If you want to know, it depends on whether you have the ability." The man with a big man with a national face quickly made up his mind, said to Tan Zong expressionlessly, then ran to the window quickly and jumped out.

Seeing this, the other big men also left the window, jumped to the street below, and ran along the street.

Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, Tan Zong and Qiao Yu also jumped out of the window and quickly chased the big man with a national face and others in the surprised eyes of pedestrians on the street.

What made Tan Zong feel depressed was that Qiao Yu was faster than him. He tried his best but failed to catch up with Qiao Yu who was agile.

After approaching the man with a Chinese character face and others, Qiao Yu took a little bit of his right foot on the ground, and raised his body in the air, stepped on the walls of the building next to him, quickly surpassing the man with a Chinese character face and others, and then fell from the air, standing in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

The big man with a national face and others couldn't help but stop, looking at Qiao Yu who was playing with a dagger with his hands with a serious expression. They knew that the woman in front of them was difficult to deal with.

Tan Zong then rushed over and blocked the retreat of the big man with a national face. As long as he could catch one of them, he could find the envoy behind the scenes.

Seeing this, the pedestrians around knew that Tan Zong and the man with a big face were going to fight, so they avoided from afar and stood in the distance and watched the excitement.
