The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Fortunately, the stone fort was strong enough, so the fire mines buried beside the tent had no effect on the stone fort.

After everyone put out the fire and the smoke cleared, Ye Xi asked people to go in and move out all the military supplies.

Lin Shanjuan and the other two stood aside and watched, marveling at it.

Bai Shu sighed, "There are so many of them. I really don't know what these people are planning."

Lin Shanjuan suspected that the capital was far from as peaceful as it appeared. The winds and clouds were unpredictable in remote places, and by the time this gale reached the capital, it might already be too late.

Fortunately, after the den was taken down, all the weapons and armor were gone, and it would probably take a lot of effort to plan, which gave Qi Zhaomian a lot of time to deal with it.

Alas, I haven’t seen you for two months. Why do I still miss my sponsor?

After returning to the inn, Ye Xi ordered the soldiers to take these things to the southern border first, but he himself was not in a hurry to leave.

She placed the knife on the table and said, "You have helped me a lot this time. I wonder if you could also tell me the purpose of your visit so that I can help you."

Bai Shu looked at Lin Shanjuan, who couldn't help but laugh and asked, "You're just walking around with those things so brazenly, aren't you afraid they'll get robbed along the way?"

Ye Xi had never been on guard against her and said frankly, "That was all a cover. I've already sent a message to the southern border garrison to come and pick them up. Now those things are still untouched in the stone fort."

The defenders of the southern border have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so we can be more assured.

Lin Shanjuan nodded, not hiding his purpose. Perhaps Ye Xi could be of great help in the county government office, where there were so many yamen runners.

"I won't hide it from you. I'm Lin Shanjuan, a recently appointed Third Rank Imperial Censor of the Qingzheng Division. The reason I've been keeping it a secret from you isn't because I don't trust you, but I'm worried that someone might be listening and reveal my identity early, which would be discovered by the officials."

Ye Xi stood there in a daze. She looked Lin Shanjuan up and down, and finally remembered why he looked familiar.

On the day that Grand Tutor Ji hosted a banquet, she had seen Lin Shanjuan accompanying His Highness Xihe. However, because he left early, she didn't have a deep impression of him.

So, she is the woman who married Xi and her sister.

"You... I really didn't expect this." Ye Xi didn't know what to say. Lin Shanjuan saw her surprise and continued to talk about the purpose of his coming here.

"There have been reports of girls going missing in Wuyan Town. Actually, these girls were drugged and sent to the capital, where they were then resold by criminals. We investigated a few people and found the magistrate of Wuyan Town, so we came here to arrest him."

Ye Xi had recovered from his surprise and nodded slowly: "Then there's no time to lose. Why don't we set off now? These local officials are very cunning. If they run away early, it will be difficult to find them."

It just so happened that Lin Shanjuan had the same idea, and the four of them hit it off and immediately headed straight for the Wuyan Town County Government Office.

It was morning, but the county government office had not yet opened. No one was lingering in front of the gate. It was empty, as if no one was there.

Lin Shanjuan looked at the clean entrance and felt that it was a good idea to stick an A4 piece of paper with the words "Shop for Rent" on it.

"This... isn't there anyone here?" Qi Zhen took a few steps forward hesitantly and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Lin Shanjuan was about to ask him to come back, but Ye Xi took two steps, stepped on a tree and climbed onto the wall, then easily crossed the wall and landed in the inner courtyard.

Lin Shanjuan was stunned. Are all of you impatient people this impatient? If the five beats don't open, you just jump in and open it yourself?

As soon as she finished this thought, Ye Xi opened the door from the inside.

Bai Shu asked quietly, "Boss, will the county magistrate accuse us of trespassing?"

Lin Shan smiled wearily, pointing his chin at the bag on his back: "Take out our tokens. If reason doesn't work, let's just fight with fists. What are you afraid of?"

Ye Xi also smiled when he heard this: "I will keep 200 of the Yancheng soldiers I recruited yesterday to guard the street entrance. If anything happens to us, they will come in."

Lin Shanjuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, it seems that fists and feet don't work, so let's talk swords."

The three of them burst into laughter, which attracted a yamen runner who saw from afar that not only was the door wide open, but also that four people were standing at the yamen gate talking and laughing. He immediately shouted angrily:

"You lowlifes! How dare you talk and laugh here? Are you looking for death?!"

The angry shout startled the four people. Bai Shu was about to draw his sword when he got angry, but was held down by Lin Shanjuan.

"We're looking for Magistrate Hu."

"Are you worthy of seeing the master?" The bailiff became even more annoyed, and picked up the water and fire sticks in the hall and rushed over here!

Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows and kicked the yamen runner down before his water and fire stick could hit Lin Shanjuan's forehead.

Ye Xi snorted coldly: "As the prefect of this county, you are supposed to be the father and mother of the people. Now you say that the people are not worthy of hearing it. You are truly lawless!"

She spoke with an official tone, and her face was overly influenced by the military spirit since childhood. She was upright from head to toe, which made the yamen runners suspicious.

"Don't leave if you dare! I'm going to find the master right now! Let's see if you guys can still be so arrogant!"

As he spoke, he crawled inside. The others were tired of standing, so they simply sat down in the hall and waited for Hu Qun to arrive.

The middle door of the county government office was actually wide open, which had not been seen in the local area for a long time.

Ever since local girls disappeared frequently, their families came to the yamen to report the case. It turned out that the culprit was Hu Qun. He really didn't want to listen to the people's crying and wailing, so he closed the yamen and refused to hold court.

In addition, he even asked two people to guard the door, and anyone who dared to beat the drum to complain would be punished with water and fire sticks!

As time went on, those who had lost their daughters no longer dared to come here, and other criminals became more presumptuous.

As soon as the door opened, a few people pretending to be passing by came over to check it out, but they didn't know anyone sitting in the hall, including the two women.

This news spread like wildfire, and by the time Hu Qun came to the hall with his trousers in his hand, many people had gathered outside.

"Who can't I handle? Why do I have to come and meet him?" Hu Qun's angry curses reached everyone's ears before he did.

"You've disturbed the interest of this county and the tenth lady. If it's nothing serious, I'll beat you to death!"

After he finished cursing, he turned into the main hall and saw the people gathered outside. Only then did he realize that the door was open. He subconsciously looked at Lin Shanjuan who was sitting in his seat.

"You bold and unruly people! Are you planning a rebellion? Do you know whose position this is? Get out of this county!"

Bai Shu slapped him in the face without hesitation. Not feeling satisfied, he slapped him again. When he had had enough, he raised the token of the Qingzhengsi in front of Hu Qun before he could curse at him.

"How dare you, a mere seventh-rank county magistrate, make our Lin Division wait for so long!"

Lin Si?

Hu Qun's greasy head felt dizzy and he fell to his knees involuntarily, feeling confused and shocked.

Did Xu Cheng fail? Why did he come so soon?!
