The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

With his finger severed, Yu Ming hung his head in despair. Was he just going to sit there and wait for his death?

He hadn't avenged his wife and children, and his enemy was right before his eyes, yet he was now a prisoner. The pain of having my finger cut off—I will never forgive you.

I don't know if the adults have received the letter I sent; I can only place my hopes on this now.

Lin Xing's eyes lit up as he saw Physician Zhang out of the mansion. That's right, he remembered why the aura of that young master Lin was so familiar.

This person was the same one he had fought with when he broke into the Yu residence in Qingning County to capture Yu Ming.

If it weren't for the young general's intervention, I probably wouldn't be alive today.

This person seems to have changed their appearance; no wonder I couldn't remember them for a moment.

This person is highly skilled in martial arts and must be Yu Ming's confidant. I must hurry and tell Jiang Su and the others the news.

Li Zhe and the other three sat silently at the table.

He Qi gave Jiang Su a wink, signaling him to speak and break the silence.

The atmosphere was just too oppressive.

Having received the hint, Jiang Su spoke up, "General, now that we've arrested Zhao Lin, I'm afraid Yu Ming will hide even deeper. If he takes the opportunity to cause trouble in the town, the situation could become uncontrollable."

Just as He Qi was about to speak in agreement, the courtyard gate was pounded on loudly.

"I'll go see," he said, asking as he walked, "Who is it?"

Zhu Wen stood at the door and shouted anxiously, "Lord He, it's me! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" He Qi opened the door.

"Mr. Zhang's family is causing a scene in front of the government office," Zhu Wen said anxiously.

"What? Didn't Ma Baocai try to calm them down? Why did they start making a scene?"

"Not only his family, but also several other families detained in the county government office have started making trouble. Now the government office is in complete chaos."

After listening to Zhu Wen's words, He Qi returned and told Li Zhe and the others. Jiang Su stood up and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."

After saying that, the two followed Zhu Wen and left.

They happened to run into Lin Xing, who was on his way. Lin Xing greeted them happily, "Where are you going? I have something important to tell you."

Jiang Su: "The boss and the others are inside. Go tell them we're going to the yamen first."

After saying that, the two left quickly.

Lin Xing shrugged, puzzled. What was going on? Why were they in such a hurry?

Lin Xing pushed open the door and went in, where he saw Li Zhe and Cheng Yu sitting silently.

"Boss, young general."

"Why are you here? Is there new development at the Huang residence?"

"No, boss, what I meant was that I seem to have seen Lin Zhao at the Yu residence. Little General, do you remember him? He's the one who fought against us when the Yu residence was on fire."

After Lin Xing's reminder, Cheng Yu thought for a moment and realized that such a person had indeed appeared in his memory.

If he hadn't arrived earlier, the grass on Lin Xing's grave would probably be quite tall by now.

But this person looked so different from the one he remembered that he suddenly realized something.

Cheng Yu walked anxiously toward the woodshed where Yu Ming was being held.

The door was kicked open, and Yu Ming merely raised his eyes slightly before looking down at his severed fingers.

Her eyes, hidden by the stray hairs on her forehead, grew increasingly red.

Cheng Yu asked tentatively in a cold voice, "Yu Ming?"

Yu Ming was startled. Impossible. He absolutely didn't know his true identity; he was just bluffing.

Yu Ming slumped to the ground, showing no reaction whatsoever.

He was absolutely certain that no one in Qingshui Town would recognize his identity.

Moreover, he is skilled in the art of changing his appearance, and very few people have seen his true face; they could never know it.

Upon seeing Lin Xing following behind Cheng Yu, Yu Ming became even more certain that no one recognized him.

Otherwise, this person would have recognized him long ago when he first entered the Huang residence in his true form.

No wonder when he and Miss Huang visited last time, he always felt a gaze on him. At first, he thought it was someone sent by the Huang family.

Who would have thought it would be his own enemy?

How hateful! If I had realized it sooner, I wouldn't have ended up in such a passive situation.

Seeing that Yu Ming was still pretending to be stupid, Cheng Yu immediately called out Li Jiang's name.

Yu Ming's eyes widened immediately. "What did you do to him?"

Li Jiang was someone who had followed him from Qingning County. Everyone else was dead, and he was the only one he could trust left.

Could it be that Li Jiang has already met with misfortune?

It's all my fault for being careless. Last time I was already in the yard, but I didn't check it carefully.

"Dead." Cheng Yu parted his thin lips slightly, his tone as icy as the weather outside.

Upon hearing that Li Jiang was dead, Yu Ming's already bloodshot eyes widened in a bloodthirsty rage. "You actually killed him! Hahaha, you can dream on if you want to find Yu Ming!"

Li Zhe had never actually fought or met Yu Ming while in Qingning County, so he naturally couldn't possibly know him.

"Xiao Yu, are you sure he is Yu Ming?"

“Brother, once we bring Zhao Si and the others over, we’ll understand.”

Lin Xing immediately did as instructed, moving with incredible speed. If the person inside really was Yu Ming, then they would no longer be afraid.

After all, no one wants the tragedy in Qingning County to repeat itself.

When He Qi and his two companions arrived at the county government office, they saw that the office was packed with people and managed to squeeze in.

Zhang Liu, the wife of Boss Zhang, took the lead in fanning the flames, saying, "Lord Ma, you must give us an explanation. You said my husband went to do something for you, but now he's died under mysterious circumstances. You think you can just give us some money to get rid of the Zhang family? We won't stand for it."

The other families in town chimed in, "Yes, we need an explanation, and we need to call our husbands back right away. We don't want them to die without knowing why."

Protected by a group of yamen runners, Ma Baocai listened to the questions while constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

It's early autumn now, and the weather is getting colder, but he feels uncomfortably hot.

Upon seeing He Qi and Jiang Su approaching, he immediately pushed aside the constables in front of him and went to greet them, saying, "Sir, you've finally arrived. This...this scene is really beyond my control."

He Qi was a burly man who stood at the entrance of the government office, exuding an imposing aura.

"You've been making such a fuss, haven't you? Well then come in and see for yourselves!"

Jiang Su had already devised a plan before he arrived. If these people found out that their family members had taken banned drugs from the court, they would be beheaded.

For the sake of their family, it's fine to let them know.

Mr. Zhang's wife hesitated. "Why doesn't the official say what he wants to say in public? Why does he want us to go to the yamen? Is it to silence us?"

Upon hearing her words, He Qi's displeasure was evident on his face. This woman was quite shrewish; no wonder she could bring people to cause trouble at the yamen.

"Don't worry, I won't lay a finger on you."

The other families all followed her lead. Zhang Liu nodded, "Everyone is watching. If anything happens to us, you must beat the drum and appeal for justice on our behalf."

Ma Baocai whispered to He Qi, "Sir, if we really let them in, what if word gets out...?"

He Qi knew that Ma Baocai was afraid that if things got out of hand, it would cause panic and he would lose his official position.

"They don't dare."

He Qi and Jiang Su walked in front, while Zhang Liushi and the others followed behind.

Seeing that they were heading towards the prison, Zhang Liushi stopped in her tracks. "Sir, you don't mean to lock us up, do you? Do you know that all the servants in our household are outside? If..."

"Shut up. If you want to know the truth, go in and see for yourselves."

He Qi waved for someone to open the prison door and went in first, followed by Zhang Liushi and the others.

When they saw what was inside, they couldn't help but gasp in shock, and some family members screamed.

"what--"
