The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Shen Qingyan and others came to the court again.

When they saw Shi Yuanshan being pushed out with a knife on his neck, all the yamen runners in the court were horrified.

The yamen runners looked at each other and finally pushed the lawyer out.

"Sir Shen, what are you and my county magistrate doing—"

The lawyer first bowed to Shen Qingyan, and then asked the yamen runners about their doubts.

As a yamen lawyer, how could he not know what Shi Yuanshan had done?

Even if he didn't know the details, Shi Yuanshan had close ties with the Nie family, and as a legal advisor, he couldn't possibly not know about it.

"Snapped!"

Shen Qingyan slammed the gavel and said in a cold voice: "Master, do you admit your guilt?"

Seeing Shen Qingyan's anger, and seeing the situation of his own county magistrate, and thinking of his past actions, the legal advisor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and begged for mercy!

"You're such a loser! You think he'll let you go just because you beg him? That's wishful thinking. And you can't just sit on the sidelines. If you fight him, maybe we can still have a chance of winning!"

Before Shen Qingyan could speak, Shi Yuanshan wanted to strike first.

His words did have some effect.

The master who had just begged for mercy looked at him, then at Shen Qingyan, and was at a loss for a moment.

"Really? I didn't know that. I just went out to buy some food for my master, and such a big thing happened in the court!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone saw a man walking in from outside.

This person was none other than Shen Qingyan's bodyguard Kuzhu.

Seeing him, Shi Yuanshan regretted that he acted too late.

If it had been earlier, perhaps he and the Nie family would have had a better chance of winning.

But now that it has come to this, I can only fight with all my might.

"Why are you so slow!"

Shen Liuguang looked at Kuzhu unhappily.

Kuzhu glared at him unhappily and nodded his chin: "Look at all this stuff in my arms, can it be fast? Come over and help me get it."

She is so tactless and even complains that he is slow. If I had known, I would not have bought him the food he likes.

Really, who is he doing this for?

Putting down the things in his arms, Kuzhu bowed to Shen Qingyan and said, "Sir, do you have any instructions?"

He hasn't taught anyone a lesson for so long that his hands are itching to do so.

Especially this County Magistrate Shi, don’t think he can’t see it. When he met the adults before, he pretended to obey but actually disobeyed them, which made him dislike him for a long time.

Shen Qingyan looked at the pile of food in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

He was just asked to keep an eye on it in case the man did anything or found something to hold against Shi Yuanshan. He really thought he was asked to buy food.

Although he was helpless, Shen Qingyan did not forget to do his job, so he ordered Kuzhu to bring Nie Shufeng out.

He wanted to see how Nie Shufeng could remain calm and claim that he was wronged when he saw Shi Yuanshan being restrained.

Soon, Nie Shufeng was brought out by Kuzhu.

Just as Shen Qingyan expected, when Nie Shufeng saw Shi Yuanshan being held at knifepoint, the calm expression on his face slowly cracked.

"Nie Shufeng, I'm going to ask you one last time, do you admit your guilt?"

Shen Qingyan looked at the people in the hall coldly.

He looked dignified and no longer suppressed the aura in his body.

For a moment, everyone in the court felt the pressure coming from him.

Shi Yuanshan couldn't help but be astonished: Could this be the aura of a true third-rank official? He had been hiding it all along!

Nie Shufeng's expression at this moment was completely different from when he came in. He looked at Shen Qingyan with shock, regret, and a hint of murderous intent.

If he had known that he was difficult to get rid of, he should have ambushed and killed him on all the roads.

I still underestimated him. But fortunately, it's not too late to make amends now.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to ask further. What if I, Nie Shufeng, admit it? What if I don't? Your Excellency, do you think you can still leave Lingxiao City now that you know so much?"

Shen Qingyan saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were cold: "Oh! Are you going to imprison me in Lingxiao City?"

"Imprisonment?" Nie Shufeng sneered, "Your Excellency is overthinking this. I understand the principle that dreams are plentiful."

Shen Qingyan: "So——"

Nie Shufeng: "So, I want you to rest in peace beneath Lingxiao City. But don't worry, every Qingming Festival, I will burn more paper money for you."

Hearing this, Kuzhu's previous carelessness disappeared completely. He quickly walked in front of Shen Qingyan, holding the sword in his hand across his body.

He couldn't help but secretly guess: before coming in, he deliberately walked around the yamen and didn't see anyone ambushing.

Did they agree on a time to pick us up?

Soon, Nie Shufeng told him the answer.

Everyone in the court watched with their own eyes as Nie Shufeng took out a tiny object from his arms and put it into his mouth and blew it at lightning speed.

The sound was extremely sharp and piercing, especially for martial artists, whose ears were much more sensitive than those of ordinary people. So when they heard the sound, their ears would immediately start buzzing, which was very uncomfortable.

No matter how fast Kuzhu moved, it was too late to stop him.

As soon as the shrill sound disappeared, a large group of people suddenly rushed in from outside the court.

They were all dressed in black, with their faces covered and swords in their hands.

……

Xu Yi was drinking water. As soon as he heard the harsh sound, he didn't care about his hands, pulled Qiao Xi to the side, and covered Qiao Xi's mouth and nose.

Seeing his nervous look, Qiao Xi knew that something urgent must have happened, so she hurried to cooperate with him, almost holding her breath.

Soon, they heard the sound of fighting coming from the court.

After about two sticks of incense had passed, the sound of fighting gradually disappeared.

Xu Yi let go of her hand and walked out holding Qiao Xi's hand.

"What's going on inside?"

A brawl in the government office? Impossible. Could it be that someone from the Nie family came to break into the prison?

Thinking of this possibility, Qiao Xi's heart immediately rose to her throat.

"I guess it's to decide the winner!"

Xu Yi glanced at her and said casually.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi frowned and stared at Xu Yi for a long time, as if trying to see something from his face, but she got nothing in the end.

At this moment, she felt that Xu Yi seemed somewhat unfathomable.

"Let's go, let's go outside and wait for the results with everyone."

There is no need for them to be here now.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi took the lead and walked towards the yamen gate.

When the two of them came out, a group of people gathered at the yamen gate again.

Judging from their nervous expressions, they probably saw the people who just rushed in.

Xu Yi and Qiao Xi disappeared into the crowd.

"Someone's out!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone looked towards the gate of the yamen.

"The bully in Lingxiao City has been eliminated. You can go back without worry."

The person who spoke was not from Shi Yuanshan, nor from the Nie family, but Shen Liuguang who was beside Shen Qingyan.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yi gave Qiao Xi a look and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi hurriedly followed him.

But as soon as she turned around, Qiao Xi saw someone standing in front of Xu Yi.
