A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

On the other side, Yang Zhong and Zhou Qi were tied up and thrown into a room.

This house is not a woodshed, nor is it a prison cell, but a very luxurious study.

Sitting on the armchair opposite them was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.

The man was slightly fat, with a particularly large belly. He had pale skin, narrow eyes, and a mustache. He looked greasy yet a bit shrewd.

This person is the famous Wu Tongpan!

Judge Wu narrowed his eyes at the two people thrown on the ground and said, "I heard that you are from the capital?"

Zhou Qi said angrily and unwillingly: "It's good that you know it! You dog official, quickly release your Grandpa Zhou, otherwise you will regret it!"

Wu Tongpan showed a disdainful sneer and said, "I know that you are a small leader in the imperial guards, but in my eyes, you are nothing!"

"you!"

Zhou Qi gritted his teeth in anger, but he was like a lamb to be slaughtered like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog!

Judge Wu stood up from the armchair, walked slowly in front of the two men, and said in a deep voice: "If you know what's best for you, hand over the things you stole from here, and I will give you a quick death. Otherwise, you will neither be able to live nor die!"

Zhou Qi snorted coldly, "Kill me if you have the guts. Anyway, I have handed over those shameful things of yours to trustworthy people. Even if I die, you won't be able to find those things. With those things, I can bring you, a pest, to justice!"

Yang Zhong was confused. Wasn't it said that Zhou Qi was arrested because of a conflict with Wu Tongpan's aunt? How did it become that Zhou Qi stole things here?

However, at this time, it was not convenient for him to ask.

Wu Tongpan had a gloomy face and sinister eyes, and said coldly: "No matter who you give the things to, he can't leave Jinyang City!

Also, your hands are so long, they are really annoying, I will just cut them off first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted from the direction of the door.

"Somebody come!"

Two guards immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

The two bowed and waited for instructions.

Judge Wu sat back in his armchair, picked up the teacup on the Eight Immortals Table, blew into it, took a sip, and then said, "Cut off the hands of these two men and feed them to the dogs!"

When he said this, his voice was calm and his expression was calm, as if to say, "This cup of tea tastes very good."

"Yes, my lord!"

The two men drew out their daggers without changing their expressions and walked towards Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong respectively.

"It's on fire, the backyard is on fire!"

There was a loud shout from outside.

Judge Wu frowned and ordered the man who pointed the knife at Yang Zhong, "You, go out and see what's going on."

"Yes, my lord."

The man glanced at Yang Zhong and left first.

The other person's actions continued, and the dagger slowly approached Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi was not afraid at all. He closed his eyes and acted as if he was ready to die.

Just as the dagger in the man's hand was about to hit Zhou Qi's arm, Yang Zhong bumped into it head-on.

The man was caught off guard and fell to the ground, with the dagger falling from his hand. It landed on the ground with a clang.

Zhou Qi suddenly opened his eyes and saw Yang Zhong half lying in front of him.

"Brother Yang..."

Zhou Qi felt touched. This is what it means to be a friend in need!

Wu Tongpan was furious! After several rounds of confrontation, he had figured out Zhou Qi's character. This man was just a fool, like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard.

I didn't expect that the people with him were so stubborn. They simply didn't know how to live or die!

"Somebody come!"

He was just about to give another order to teach these two a lesson when he saw the person who had just gone out to gather information running back in a hurry.

Before Judge Wu could say anything, the man bowed and said, "Sir, it's bad. The Wutong Courtyard in the backyard is on fire!"

"What happened? Wutong Courtyard is on fire. Is Ninth Aunt okay?"

Judge Wu asked in a slightly anxious tone.

The man said, "Sir, the fire started from the side room of Wutong Courtyard. By the time the fire spread to Ninth Aunt's room, she had already come out safely."

At this moment, there was a "bang" and an arrow with fire hit the window outside.

"who?"

When Judge Wu heard the noise, he shouted subconsciously.

No one answered, only a crackling sound was heard outside the window.

Another person pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Sir, someone outside the yard is shooting arrows into the yard, and the arrows are on fire, so it must be an intentional arson.

Moreover, there must be more than one person who set the fire. First they set the fire in the backyard, and now they set it here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside.

The door was not closed when the man came in, and Wu Tongpan could see an arrow clamped on a large poplar tree in the yard that had long lost its leaves! The place where the arrow hit the tree had already started to burn.

Judge Wu no longer cared about the two people in the room and walked out quickly.

Another flaming arrow flew over and hit the door frame. If it had been a little lower, it would have hit Pan Wu's head.

Wu Tongpan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said angrily, "Who is so arrogant that they dare to set fire to my territory? Quick, get someone to capture these daring lunatics!"

As they were talking, flames appeared in several places in the yard, and thick smoke was everywhere.

"Quick, put out the fire first!"

At a command from Judge Wu, the guards who had originally planned to run out to catch people turned back and started to put out the fire.

The sudden rockets had already caused panic among the people, and the guards were very afraid of Wu Tongpan, so they did whatever he told them to do. They had completely forgotten that they should have put out the fire first, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous if the fire spread!

Only when they heard Judge Wu give new orders did they come to their senses and hurried to fetch water to put out the fire.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingqian randomly chose a location to set the fire, which happened to be Wu Tongpan’s study!

When Shen Qingqian and the educated youth Zhizhu entered the courtyard, the backyard was in chaos.

It was even more chaotic than they had imagined. Some people had just escaped from the burning room, looking dusty and in a mess; some women were yelling, shouting that something had not been taken out; but more people were putting out the fire.

Shen Qingqian and the other two did not stay for long before going their separate ways to look for Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong.

By the time the officers and soldiers who were chasing them entered the yard, Shen Qingqian and his companions had already disappeared.

Although the yard was not small, it was not very big either. While a group of people were still busy putting out the fire, another group of soldiers came to arrest people, and the yard instantly became more lively.
