After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Dasheng and Dali were still explaining to Xu Qingqing in a panic when suddenly four or five masked men appeared on the street ahead.

Xu Qingqing turned her head slightly to look at those people, her right eyebrow slightly raised.

Dasheng and Dali immediately blocked Xu Qingqing behind them: "Who are you!"

"You don't need to know. If you know what's good for you, just follow us and you'll suffer less physical pain!" The masked leader shouted at Dasheng and the other man.

"Don't even think about it! Did you kidnap Daniu?!" Dali pointed at the masked man opposite and asked loudly.

The masked man was pointed at by Dali and felt unhappy: "Humph, I think you guys are not going to accept my toast and will be punished by drinking a forfeit!"

Hearing this, Dasheng and Dali hurriedly protected Xu Qingqing behind them: "Master, be careful, we will protect you!"

The masked man then noticed Xu Qingqing behind the two men: "Hahahaha, you can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking about protecting the little kid behind you?"

"It seems that the little girl is very important to you. Come on, catch them! Give me the little girl!"

"Sect Master, be careful!"

The atmosphere on the street suddenly became tense, and the masked man quickly moved closer to the three people.

Xu Qingqing looked expressionlessly at the masked men, who were moving in slow motion to her.

Feeling the force pushing her back again, Xu Qingqing's eyes flashed with a smile.

Xu Qingqing steadied herself and gently pushed away the two people blocking her way.

Looking at the masked men rushing towards him, his eyes flashed with sharpness, and his voice was calm: "You two get out of the way, let me do it."

"metropolitan!"

Dasheng and Dali were pushed away. By the time they reacted, Xu Qingqing had already taken a few steps forward to meet the masked man.

The battle was about to break out. Xu Qingqing moved as lightly and quickly as catkins in the wind.

She deftly dodged the masked men's fierce attacks while closing in on them at an incredible speed.

She flicked her fingers lightly, and an invisible stream of air cut through the air like a sharp blade, heading straight for the masked man's vital points.

Of course, Xu Qingqing did not kill them. After all, she still had to take these masked men to report to the police, so she couldn't kill them!

The masked men were forced to retreat again and again due to Xu Qingqing's attack.

They tried to block Xu Qingqing's attacks with weapons, but she cleverly resolved them every time.

Xu Qingqing's movements were erratic. Sometimes she jumped into the air, using her legs as a weapon to kick the masked man fiercely; sometimes she stayed close to the ground, using her palms as a knife to slash at the enemy's weapons fiercely.

It can be said that the battle was fierce and tense, of course, this was for the masked man and Dasheng.

For Xu Qingqing, not knocking them out directly was just for the sake of having fun for a while longer.

As time went on, the offensive of the masked men gradually weakened. They were suppressed by Xu Qingqing's offensive and could no longer launch an effective counterattack.

In the end, after Xu Qingqing's heavy blow, the masked men fell to the ground one after another, and their weapons were scattered all over the ground.

Xu Qingqing glanced at the people lying on the ground, unable to fight back, and took out a bundle of ropes from somewhere and threw them at Dasheng and the other man.

"Tie these guys up and take them away, and report to the authorities!" Xu Qingqing had a smile on her face, but her tone was joking.

Seeing this, Dasheng and Dali took action immediately: "Okay, Master!"

They picked up the rope that fell on the ground and walked quickly towards the masked man who fell to the ground.

Although the masked men were still struggling to resist, they had little strength left after Xu Qingqing's powerful attack.

Dasheng and Dali deftly wrapped the ropes around the masked men's wrists and ankles, then pulled them tight to ensure that they could not move.

While tying up the masked man, they glanced around with vigilant eyes, fearing that there were other enemies lurking in the dark.

Soon, all the masked men were tied up tightly and could not move. They could only lie on the ground, staring at Xu Qingqing and the other two with angry and unwilling eyes.

Xu Qingqing walked up to a masked man, squatted down, and looked at him with cold eyes.

She gently lifted the man's mask, revealing a terrified and distorted face.

Xu Qingqing's eyes flashed with sharpness, and she asked, "Who sent you here? What's your purpose?"

The masked man kept his lips tightly closed, seemingly unwilling to reveal any information.

Xu Qingqing smiled: "In that case, let's just report to the authorities and see what they say."

"Let's go." Xu Qingqing took the lead and walked forward. Dasheng and the other two hurriedly pulled the few people up, and then dragged them to catch up with Xu Qingqing.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A burst of rapid and loud drum beats suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility of the county government office in the early morning.

Soon, Xu Qingqing and several others were taken into the lobby of the county government office by a group of aggressive yamen runners.

County Magistrate Zhang was still sleepy at this time, apparently having been awakened from his sweet dream by the drum sound early in the morning.

He rubbed his eyes, forced himself to be alert, raised his head and asked, "Who are you? What's your business?"

Magistrate Zhang's voice was a little sleepy, but still revealed a sense of majesty.

However, since he had just woken up and his mind was not yet fully clear, he kept his head down for a moment and was unable to see clearly who was standing below him.

At this time, Xu Qingqing's clear voice rang out: "Zhang Zhixian, I want to sue these masked men for attempted kidnapping on the street! Moreover, our chef Dali, who participated in the finals of the Master Chef Competition today, has not been heard from since he left home early in the morning. I seriously suspect that he was also kidnapped by this group of people! Please make the decision, sir!"

Following the rules, Xu Qingqing knelt on the ground without hesitation and told the whole story.

Her tone was firm and urgent, and she seemed to take the incident very seriously.

When County Magistrate Zhang heard Xu Qingqing's voice, he immediately came to his senses.

He looked carefully and found that the person kneeling on the ground was Xu Qingqing herself.

He coughed lightly, trying to make himself look more serious, and then said, "Well, let's get up and talk first."

Magistrate Zhang looked at the people in the hall and pondered in his heart.

He turned to look at the masked men who were tied up, and shouted, "You bold lunatics! How dare you commit a crime in broad daylight? Tell us the truth now!"

The masked man lowered his head and remained silent, as if he had some concerns.

Upon seeing this, Magistrate Zhang slammed the gavel and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I will not let you off easily!"

Xu Qingqing said at the side: "Zhang Zhixian, if you really don't want to talk, I'll beat you up. If one beating doesn't work, I'll beat you up twice. If two beatings don't work... why not leave it to me? I'll make sure that he won't get any help from anyone."

When Magistrate Zhang saw Xu Qingqing saying this with a smile, he thought she was joking: "Well, Miss Xu is right."

One of the masked men was startled and stole a glance at the masked man who was in charge. Seeing that he didn't say anything and that Magistrate Zhang didn't seem to be lying.

And even if I survive this trip, I won't have much money left...

After thinking it over in my mind, I felt that this was a losing deal.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but say, "Please spare my life, sir! I am just following orders and I don't know the specific situation!"

"Acting on orders? On whose orders?" Magistrate Zhang asked.

"Yes...it's Manager Chen from Jinyanlou!" the masked man answered tremblingly.

The masked man in the lead was shocked, his eyes drooping with the thought: It’s over, it’s over… It’s all over…
