Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

"Whether it's unfair or not, we'll know if we investigate it," Baili Mo said.

The guard Ah Hu tugged at Wan Chen's clothes from behind and gave him a wink.

Wan Chen, who was standing next to Bai Sui'an just now, moved to the side without leaving a trace.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that getting involved in this matter will only get you into trouble.

"Can you commoners like you investigate our county magistrate whenever you want?" Su Gaoyu gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, staring at the people standing at the door with sharp eyes, ready to give the order to arrest them at any time.

Weng Lai said impatiently, "Just take me back directly. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"You've teamed up with the villains and tried to defraud the bounty. Now confess your intentions and I'll let you go!"

Su Gaoyu obviously knew Weng Lai. Although they were not close to each other, he kept using his eyes to signal the other party to be careful with his words.

"Am I sick? Why am I sending myself to jail for no reason?" Weng Lai said gritting his teeth.

He secretly cursed Su Gaoyu in his heart as a fool. Did he want to destroy the cooperation between the two parties for a little reward?

Unfortunately, Su Gaoyu did not understand the deeper meaning of this. His superiors ordered that no one was allowed to complete the bounty order and obtain the reward.

Now that the person has been caught, as long as he denies it, no one will be able to fulfill the bounty order.

At worst, since the person has been brought here, it's not impossible to silence him.

"I will capture you, and more than just you." Su Gaoyu took off the knife from his waist and pointed it at Weng Lai, "Everyone, capture those three people!"

A dozen officers behind him rushed forward with weapons drawn.

Bai Sui'an retreated, picked up his whip from the ground, and pulled Weng Lai into the house.

Baili Mo came with a sword, and he drew his sword and guarded the door with Bai Sui'an.

Wanchen's two guards also took up their positions and protected their master behind them.

The courtyard was suddenly in chaos, with the sound of swords clashing one after another, but the officers never gained the upper hand.

Bai Sui'an waved his long whip and swept through the area, easily breaking the formation of the officers.

Baili Mo's sword moves were sharp, not all of them fatal, but they were just enough to injure people so badly that they couldn't get up again.

Su Gaoyu, who was standing at the back, realized that the person who announced the results this time was different from those who had only a little skill in the past.

It would be difficult to deal with these two people with the people he has now.

A line of fire shot straight into the sky, with sparse flames bursting out at high altitudes.

Su Gaoyu chose to send signal fireworks to seek help.

The other people were still dealing with the fire in Mr. Zhu's house. The fire had just subsided. After seeing the signal, a large number of people would soon rush to the Wan family, and then Bai Sui'an and others would have no way to escape.

"Use any means necessary, regardless of life or death, no one is allowed to escape!" Su Gaoyu ordered.

Zhang Hao pretended to fight in the back, but in fact he was trying hard to avoid the attacks of Bai Sui'an and the other man.

After hearing the order from his boss, he didn't think twice and immediately lay down and pretended to be dead while no one was paying attention.

I complained about Su Gaoyu’s decision in my heart: I knew I was just watching from behind. Only a fool would listen to you and die!

Before the reinforcements arrived, all the officers who stepped forward were beaten.

Although no one died, many were seriously injured.

Only Su Gaoyu was left standing.

And the three Wanchens who were watching.

Aaron opened his mouth wide in surprise from the moment the fight started.

Wanchen and Ahu were also quite shocked.

"That young master's skills are truly amazing!" Ah Hu exclaimed.

Bai Sui'an hooked his arm towards Su Gaoyu and asked, "A one-on-one fight?"

Aaron murmured, "How handsome."

Su Gaoyu looked dissatisfied and looked outside for a long time, but no reinforcements came.

"Don't be so arrogant! My people will be here soon." Facing the wounded, Su Gaoyu was only angry and cursed with gritted teeth, "What a waste!"

The moon was hanging high in the sky. Bai Sui'an estimated the time and felt a little tired.

"It's already late, sir, could you please be quicker? I want to go home."

It was a little late when Weng came. It had been dragging on for so long, I was afraid it was already past the hour of midnight.

"Go home? Don't even think about going home from now on!" Su Gaoyu said.

Baili Mo brought a stool out of the house and sat down, saying, "Don't just talk. Your men have all collapsed, and you, the leader, are just standing there like an idiot?"

Su Gaoyu didn't dare to step forward and kept retreating. Even though he was angry, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Cold sweat soaked his back. He had only brute force but didn't know how to fight at all.

Fortunately, the two of them only provoked each other verbally and did not make any big moves.

It's okay to be a coward and not respond at this moment.

The sound of running feet was heard outside. Su Gaoyu was ecstatic. He looked towards the gate and found that only a tall man came in.

Zhuying took out the token and said, "The prefect has ordered a thorough investigation of Magistrate Su's corruption. The magistrate's mansion has been surrounded. As a person of interest, please come with me."

Su Gaoyu was dumbfounded. He leaned forward to look at the token, but he couldn't understand the pattern on it. He only knew that there was a big "Wu" in the middle.

It was hard not to believe it, because behind the candlelight, there was a neat group of soldiers standing outside the yard.

Seeing that the man was standing still, Zhuying didn't waste any words. He waved his hand and asked the people behind him to take Su Gaoyu away.

Bai Sui'an stepped forward and said, "Sir, I just finished the bounty order issued by the government office, and I haven't received the reward for the man you caught yet."

Zhuying didn't waste any time. He took off a large bag of silver from his waist and gave it to Bai Sui'an.

He walked straight into the house, looked at Weng Lai, and asked, "Is this the man with the bounty on his head?"

"Yes." Bai Sui'an took the purse and weighed it.

"Okay, I'll take it with me."

Zhuying escorted the men away, and the wounded soldiers on the ground also left one after another, and the yard returned to silence.

Wan Chen came over to thank Bai Sui'an: "Thank you for your help, young master."

Bai Sui'an curled his lips and smiled: "No need to thank me, just make sure the deal is done next time."

Baili Mo walked out of the gate with Bai Sui'an.

Just after weighing the bag, Bai Sui'an knew that the amount of silver inside was the same as the bounty amount.

She asked Baili Mo: "Were those your helpers just now? They actually helped me prepare the bounty in advance."

Baili Mo was also an insider, and said, "As I said before, my connections are all in the Imperial City. That person just now has nothing to do with me. If you are really curious, you can ask your own people."

Family? Who?

Bai Sui'an thought of her cheap husband.

Hmm… She did suspect that Ye Lingche had connections with the people at Feiyun Department Store before, but merchants and officials are separate, right?

As the two walked out of the gate, they saw an official leading a horse towards them.

"Young master, this is what the gentleman just left for you." The officer handed the reins to Bai Sui'an.

"I'm urging you to go home early. Go ahead." Baili Mo patted Bai Sui'an on the back, telling her not to think too much. "If you want to know anything, you can ask when you get home. He can't run away anyway."

Baili Mo added with some gloating, "If he doesn't tell me, I'll just beat him up."
