Chapter 124: Setting Fire

Jin Dianshi was in a very anxious mood at this time.

Originally, Magistrate Yang asked him to catch the stinky girl named Xing’er back, but instead of catching Xing’er, the people he sent out were beaten up one after another.

When this matter reached Yang County Magistrate’s ears, it became his pot. Just now, Yang County Magistrate scolded him in front of many people, causing him to lose face in front of his colleagues.

Jin Dianshi vowed to arrest the group of outsiders who humiliated him and beat him severely!

He grabbed the innkeeper and asked fiercely.

“Is there a group of outsiders living in your store today?”

The innkeeper was trembling with fright, and he was a little dumbfounded when he spoke: “Yes, yes, but they have already left.”

“Left? Could it be that you, old boy is deceiving me?”

“No, no, how dare the little one lie to you?!” The innkeeper was crying in a hurry.

Jin Dianshi didn’t believe him, so he threw away the innkeeper rudely, and shouted sharply, “Rush in for Lao Tzu and arrest those dogs who don’t know whether to live or die!”

This time Jin Dianshi was really ruthless, vowing to catch the group of bold outsiders.

He transferred almost all the officials and trappers in the county government, 30 trappers and more than 80 officials, adding up to more than 100 people.

Holding swords, guns and sticks, they rushed into the inn aggressively and went straight to the guest room where Luo Qinghan was.

The guys had already been so scared that they hid, and they didn’t dare to take a breath.

The trapper and the officials turned the inn upside down, unable to find any trace of the group of outsiders, Jin Dianshi had to believe the shopkeeper’s words.

“Do you know where those outsiders went?”

The innkeeper shook his head and said he didn’t know.

Jin Dianshi cursed, turned his head and walked away murderously.

He ordered the people under his hand to search and cross-examine street by street. The whole county was so big. He did a carpet search, but he didn’t believe that he couldn’t find the group of outsiders!

Half a day passed, and seeing that it was almost dark, the officials finally found the whereabouts of the group of outsiders.

After learning of their whereabouts, Jin Dianshi smiled grimly: “Damn, I finally let Lao Tzu to find them! Let’s go, let’s peel their skins!”

The catcher hurriedly reminded: “Let’s just hit the door directly, I’m afraid we will suffer. Those people are very good at skills and carry weapons. If we hit the door in a daze, there will most likely be a large number of casualties. In my opinion, it’s better to just set a fire, just like we dealt with that scholar two years ago…”

Although Jin Dianshi was grumpy, he was not brainless.

He thought the catcher’s words made sense, patted the catcher twice on the shoulder, and smiled.

“That’s right, your idea is very good. Let the fire go out so that everyone can see what will happen if you dare to oppose our yamen!”

Under the command of Jin Dianshi, the trappers and the officials went to collect a lot of firewood and fire oil.

After some repossession of the abandoned courtyard, it was finally barely able to house people.

Xiao Xixi had already gotten into the quilt and was sleeping soundly.

Luo Qinghan was reading a book by candlelight.

The door of the room was knocked on, and Xiao Nan’s voice came in.

“Your Highness, there is movement outside the courtyard. My subordinates went outside and took a look. It was the people from the county government who piled up firewood outside the courtyard. They also brought a lot of fire oil. It seemed that they wanted to set it on fire.”

Luo Qinghan turned a page and said lightly: “Don’t worry about them.”

“Here.”
