"That's right! But the fundamental reason is still because of your son. If he hadn't abused my sister, I wouldn't bother to kill him! If it wasn't because I killed him, why would you kill his concubine to vent your anger!"

"You killed my son! I will fight you!"

When the county magistrate's wife heard the words "kill him", she rushed towards Lin Xi hysterically, wanting to avenge her son!

But before she could get to Lin Xi, she was kicked back onto the bed by Lin Xi!

Lin Xi pulled out a small coarse porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a small black pill, pinched open the county magistrate's wife's mouth, threw the pill in, and she swallowed it with a gulp.

The county magistrate's wife anxiously scratched her throat with her hands, and leaned over the edge of the bed and retched for a while, but nothing came out.

She looked up at Lin Xi in horror: "What did you give me to eat?"

"Oh, it's a little gadget I made myself. Can't you order the strangulation of a dozen people without blinking an eye? I'll let you experience the feeling of suffocation to death, so enjoy it!"

After saying that, Lin Xi folded his arms and leaned against a pillar nearby, narrowing his eyes and looking at her coldly.

The county magistrate's wife felt her chest becoming more and more stuffy, until finally it felt like her mouth and nose were covered and she couldn't breathe!

She crawled towards Lin Xi, wanting to ask for the antidote, but suddenly fell to the ground!

She scratched the ground with a distorted face, leaving shocking scratches on the floor. Finally, her face turned purple and she lay there motionless!

Lin An looked at this scene, his little face under the veil turned pale with fear. He moved to his sister's side, leaned against her tightly, and hugged her arms tightly. All his previous excitement disappeared!

Lin Xi felt her brother's fear, she squatted down and looked at him gently: "Don't be afraid, An'er! This is the punishment she deserves! Sister will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you!"

"Well, I'm not afraid. She's a bad person, and we're doing justice. If she dies, we can't harm innocent people anymore!"

Lin An murmured softly, as if answering his sister's words, but also as if comforting himself.

Lin Xi patted his head, stood up and said, "Let's go find that dog official!"

The three of them quietly came to the study bedroom. Lin Xi walked to the county magistrate's bed, took out a dagger and slashed his hand hard, then took a piece of paper and spread it on the table, and wrote a blood letter with his blood!

After thinking for a while, she turned back, cut off a lock of his hair, and placed it on his chest along with the blood letter.

After doing all this, she took the two of them to clean up the traces they left in the county magistrate's mansion, then clapped her hands and said to An Er and Lin An: "Let's go home and sleep!"

The three of them returned to Jun Moyue's yard, entered the tunnel, and left the city.

"Xiaohong!"

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Xiaohong rushed out from the dense forest!

"Master, why did you take so long to come out? I'm so bored!"

"Haha! How can a horse be bored? You're so funny!"

"Humph! I'm not an ordinary horse!"

......

Lin Xi drove Xiaohong all the way back to the gate of his yard quickly.

"An Er, go to the hut on the mountain and rest. You don't have to keep watching over me! I won't be in any danger!"

"No need, Miss Lin Xi. My master ordered me to protect you secretly. I will just spend the night on the big tree outside."

"Since you are following me, you must obey me! Otherwise, go back to your master!"

"Miss Lin, don't chase me away! I'll go to the hut on the mountain to rest right away! This is for you!"

An Er took off the bag on his back and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi did not reach out to take it.

"We'll split the money in half. I'll give you my share first. I'll ask you for it when I need it!"

After saying that, Lin Xi brought Lin An and Xiao Hong and quietly entered the yard.

An Er nodded in agreement, put on his bag, turned around and flew towards the mountain.

After settling Xiaohong down, Lin Xi took his brother into the kitchen. The two of them washed up and returned to their original appearance.

After washing up, Lin Xi took out a bowl of medicine from the cupboard, put it in the steamer, lit a fire to heat it up, and then handed it to Lin An and said, "An'er, this is a tranquilizer, drink it!"

Lin An took it and drank only half of it, then handed the remaining half to Lin Xi: "Sister, drink it too, to avoid nightmares!"

"Xiao An'er, I don't need to drink anymore. I have killed many bad guys in the other world in my dream!"

Lin Xi smiled and pushed the bowl back to Lin An, signaling him to drink it quickly.

Lin An raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The brother and sister quietly went into the bedroom and climbed onto the bed to rest.

"Sister, were you scared when you killed someone for the first time?"

"Of course! No one is born brave and strong. It just takes experience to get better!"

"Sister, I will work hard to learn skills from you and become a truly strong man, and protect you and mother together with Daddy!"

"Okay! I believe An'er will be more powerful than me in the future!"

......

The brother and sister were talking and fell into a deep sleep before they knew it!

The next day, in the county magistrate's mansion, the sun was already high in the sky. The servants who were keeping watch on the coffin saw that the yard was quiet and no one had come even after the shift change time had passed, so they all began to whisper to each other.

"Hey, brother, why hasn't the old housekeeper arranged for someone to take over the shift?"

"Yeah, I wonder too!"

"Don't you think the house is too quiet?"

"How about we two go out and take a look?"

......

After everyone discussed for a while, the two servants rubbed their numb knees, slowly climbed up with the help of the ground, took a few tentative steps, and after their knees regained feeling, they supported each other and limped out of the mourning hall.

"That's not right. Why is there no one here?"

"Yes, something is wrong. Let's go to the housekeeper's yard and take a look!"

When the two men arrived at the old butler's yard, they saw the butler fainted on the ground. They hurried over and shook him hard and shouted.

"Butler, please wake up? Why are you lying on the ground?"

As the two of them swayed, the butler slowly opened his eyes. He held his dizzy head and asked, "What time is it? How did you two get here?"

"Butler, it's almost noon! There's no one in the yard, so we had to come out of the mourning hall to look for you."

"What!" The butler's confused mind suddenly became clear and he felt something was wrong.

"Let's go! Go out and take a look!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked quickly outside.

After he came out of his own courtyard, he saw that the mansion was completely silent. He turned around and ordered, "You two, go call out the people in the mourning hall and check everywhere in the mansion! See where the others have gone. I'll go to the backyard to look for the master!"

"Aunt Liu, wake up!" When the housekeeper came to the backyard door, he saw the gatekeeper lying on the ground.

"It's the housekeeper. What happened to me? Why am I lying here?"

"Something must have happened. Hurry up and take out the key and open the door for me. I want to go to the backyard to find the master!"

After the old woman opened the door, the housekeeper trotted to the study bedroom where the county magistrate was.

"Master, are you in there?" the old butler knocked on the door and shouted.

The county magistrate in the house woke up after hearing the sound. He held his head and sat up. He felt a pain in the palm of his hand. He raised his hand and saw a bloody gash on it. He shouted in fear, "Someone come! Someone come!"

The housekeeper outside shouted a few times, and seeing that the master did not respond, he was about to break in. When he heard the master's shout, he quickly pushed open the door and hurried in.
