The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

The bandit remained silent, but he was already very afraid of Xie Shuting. He had to be on guard because she could figure out his identity just by looking at some small details about him.

Seeing that the bandit was still unwilling to speak, Xie Shuting slowly sat back down and shouted to the outside of the door: "Ichidaosai."

Suddenly! A strong wind swept across the area, and a shadow came in the wind. In an instant, he stood with a knife in hand, standing next to the bandit.

"Xie family..."

Before Yidaozhai could finish his words, Xie Shuting gave him a warning look, and he immediately changed the subject and said, "Miss Xie! What do you want from me?"

"Ittosai! From what the yamen runner said, you left this man here?"

Yi Daozhai glanced at the bandit kneeling on the ground, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad!"

"Then why did you save him?"

Ichidosai shook his head upon hearing this and said thoughtfully: "I am not saving him."

"Yeah!~"

Liu Bantou looked at Yi Daozhai suspiciously and said, "If you didn't want to save him, I would have killed him at that time. What do you mean by that?"

"His secret actions are despised by swordsmen."

Yi Daozhai said this, looked at Xie Tingwen and changed the subject: "Besides, I promised Miss Xie that I would protect Master Xie. If Master Xie is injured, my promise will be as worthless as a piece of waste paper."

"You didn't save him because of a promise."

Xie Shuting smiled calmly and looked at the bandit and said, "Ichidaosai! You should have seen something too!"

"This is not what I need to consider. Miss Xie! There are four more times, and we will settle the deal." After Yidaosai finished speaking, his figure flashed and his afterimage disappeared in the living room in an instant.

Such a scene shocked everyone present and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Xie Tingwen was also secretly shocked. Although he knew about Yidaosai's existence, he didn't expect that the other party was so good at martial arts.

Xie Tingwen calmed down and asked suspiciously, "Shu Ting! What happened to you falling to the ground?"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Xie Shuting, and even the bandits kneeling on the ground felt extremely nervous at this moment.

Xie Shuting smiled calmly and said loudly, "Father! I will boldly guess what this brother wants to do."

The bandit frowned, feeling a little uneasy. Everyone pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss important information.

"Father! I dare to ask you, if you fail the exam again and again, what do you think?"

"What is the problem?"

Xie Tingwen pretended to be slightly angry, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Xie family is well off. If you fail the exam again and again, your father will probably take it again!"

"What if I still don't get the qualification to take the provincial examination at the age of thirty? What will my father do?"

"This..." Xie Tingwen was speechless for a moment.

If he failed to pass the provincial examination at the age of thirty, his family could still support him if he was well-off, but if he was poor, it might drag down the entire family.

Those who passed the provincial examination were called Juren, and the government provided them with financial support every month. I don't know how much money it was, but it was enough to support themselves.

At the same time, he could open a private school and teach children enlightenment, which was also a job. But the status of a juren was a stepping stone, and without this status, it would be impossible.

When everyone present heard what Xie Shuting said, they instantly understood everything and looked at the bandits kneeling on the ground in surprise.

The bandits' faces at this moment were no longer as calm as before, instead they were filled with shame and flushed cheeks.

"It seems I guessed it right."

Xie Shuting stroked the teacup with a faint smile, took a sip to moisten her throat and said, "Let me guess your thoughts again, no... your thoughts."

"What ideas can I have?" the bandit roared.

"Oh! Ken has spoken."

Xie Shuting smoothed her clothes with a half-smile and said loudly: "You are now a prisoner. It doesn't matter whether you speak or not. After all, this matter is easy to investigate."

"Check? Check what?" Xie Tingwen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Father, have you heard the saying 'A rebellion by a military officer is short-lived, but a rebellion by a civil official will cause disaster for three generations'?"

The bandit was startled, and looked at Xie Shuting in horror, asking in a trembling voice: "You...what do you know when you fall to the ground?"

"Shu Ting! Do you know what you are saying?" Xie Tingwen also scolded in a deep voice.

Everyone present also took a deep breath. The melon they had eaten today was a bit too big, and it might bring disaster to the entire clan.

On the other hand, Xie Shuting looked calm and explained without arrogance, "If my father were assassinated today, Laigu County would be in chaos. There is no doubt about that."

The county magistrate is the head of a county. If the county magistrate dies, given the current situation in Gu County, there will be no one who can have an overall view of the situation, which will give the bandits an opportunity to take advantage.

Furthermore, after the death of the previous county lieutenant, Xie Tingwen wrote to the Ministry of Personnel, stating the situation in Laigu County and dismissing the post of county lieutenant.

Thinking back to what Xie Shuting had just said, Xie Tingwen had to take it seriously. With a trace of worry between his brows, he looked at Liu Kou and said, "Aren't you going to tell me yet?"

"Hahaha!~"

Liu Kou couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing that Xie Shuting didn't show any panic as before, he said calmly, "So what if you guessed right? I admit defeat for today's matter, but who will be the next person? Can you still guess it correctly?"

"You dare to threaten me?"

Xie Shuting smiled instead of getting angry, stroked the teacup and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who is next, what matters is that you can't succeed."

"Are you so sure?" the bandit asked in a deep voice.

"If someone like you who can't even pass the imperial examination is recruited, your organization will not be up to par, so why should I be afraid?"

"You..." The bandit was instantly filled with anger and could not suppress the shame and anger in his heart, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.

Seeing this, Xie Shuting moved her feet in disdain and laughed softly, "With your temperament, there must be a reason why you have failed in the exams so many times."

Everyone scratched their heads in embarrassment. Today they had witnessed the young lady's unreasonable mouth.

Xie Shuting smiled calmly, and her eyes suddenly changed as she looked at Liu Bantou and said, "There is no need to try this man. He will be taken to prison first and beheaded in public at noon tomorrow."

"this......"

Liu Bantou was startled, and turned to look at Xie Tingwen. After all, he didn't dare to agree without the permission of Lord Xie.

"Just do as Shu Ting said." Xie Tingwen waved his hand nonchalantly.

Liu Bantou did not hesitate and quickly called two yamen runners to carry the bandits directly to the prison.

"Lao Fang! Pick someone up."

"Who is it!~"

The visitor slowly opened the door while speaking. He first looked at Liu Bantou standing outside, then glanced at the man in shackles behind him, and he understood.

"This is really strange. There hasn't been anyone in this prison for a month. Why doesn't he need to be handed over to Captain Cao for forced labor?"

"This man will be beheaded tomorrow. Handing him over to Captain Cao will only cause trouble."

As Liu Bantou spoke, he kicked the bandit and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"

"What has this man done wrong?"

"Assassinating the lord with the intention of treason." Liu Bantou said nonchalantly.

But these two simple sentences instantly confused the jailer Fang. He stood there blankly, somewhat dazed for some reason.
