Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Seeing that no one responded, the man turned his head and looked towards the door in confusion.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao and her group appearing at the door, he asked in confusion, "Who are you people?"

"The one who's going to take your life." Yang Changfeng drew his knife and immediately placed it against the man's neck.

Feeling the cold touch on his neck, the man's elbow instantly fell onto the blanket.

The man said, trembling, "Do you know who I am? If you let me go now, I can forgive and forget. Otherwise, wait until my men arrive."

You can't leave even if you want to.

"Your people? You mean them?"

Yang Changfeng pointed disdainfully at the madam and others at the door.

The man followed his gaze, and his heart sank. He knew he was in for a tough fight.

"Have mercy, brave warriors! Don't be impulsive! I... I have money. I can give you anything you want."

Yang Changfeng ignored him and instead looked at Lin Xiaoxiao standing at the door, waiting for her to give instructions on how to handle the situation.

Lin Xiaoxiao lightly covered her mouth and nose and stepped forward: "Killing him would be too easy for him. Tie him up and throw him out into the street."

Upon receiving the order, Yang Changfeng immediately tore down the bed curtain and wrapped the man inside like a rice dumpling.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat at the table and, based on the original owner's memories, wrote down the man's crimes.

It was stuck directly to the man's back.

Yang Changfeng simply threw the person out.

The street was usually bustling with people, but when Yang Changfeng threw the man onto the street, it instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Someone who could read deciphered the crime written on the back of his head, and everyone instantly understood who the person in front of them was.

In the beginning, Lanxiang Courtyard used money to buy children from poor families, but later it became clear that not all families didn't love their children.

So when they were short of people, they would not only secretly kidnap them, but later they even became Mingqiang.

Everyone lives in constant fear, and families with daughters are even more afraid to let their children go out.

"This is the work of this beast! You bastard, give me back my daughter!"

Unable to contain her anger, a woman walked over and hurled her basket at the man.

After someone made a move, the onlookers around couldn't hold back any longer.

Even those who were not victims could not ignore the man's evil deeds.

They had previously reported the matter to the authorities, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea without any response.

Now that the criminal beasts are right in front of them, how could they possibly let it go?

The man's screams continued, but the crowd, as if still not satisfied, kept pounding on him.

"You, you lowly commoners, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

Even after being beaten, the man remained arrogant.

His words instantly aroused the anger of the surrounding people.

"Aren't the lives of the lowly people also lives? You beast are the ones who don't deserve to be human!"

"So what if I hit you? I'm going to kill you today too."

A father who had lost his daughter picked up a long bench and smashed it directly on the man's head.

The man suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, and a warm liquid flowed down his head.

However, with his limbs bound, he had no way to resist, and now he couldn't even curse.

Seeing that the men on the street were breathing more and more than they were breathing, Lin Xiaoxiao and her friends remained calm and watched from a distance.

Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't believe that a man would commit such a heinous act here unless someone was deliberately protecting him.

That's why she deliberately threw the man out into the street to draw out his protector.

Sure enough, just before the man was on the verge of death, a luxurious sedan chair rushed over in a panic.

A line of soldiers followed behind the sedan chair, and the people who were beating the man stopped immediately upon seeing it.

After the sedan chair stopped, a woman dressed elegantly and looking flustered stepped out.

"It's the magistrate's wife. The government has finally stepped forward to uphold justice for us."

Someone in the crowd immediately recognized the woman in the sedan chair.

Will you uphold justice?

Lin Xiaoxiao watched as the woman hurriedly got off the sedan chair, her face full of worry as she looked at the man who had been beaten beyond recognition.

"Who did this?"

The woman stood beside the beaten man, angrily questioning him.

“Madam Magistrate, you don’t know, this man is simply a beast, no, he’s even worse than a beast.”

"Yes, this person not only takes lives, but also preys on young girls who haven't reached marriageable age."

"Madam, please have him arrested immediately and punished properly."

"But actually, the magistrate's wife doesn't need to do anything. I don't think this person will survive anyway."

The people were discussing it enthusiastically, completely unaware that the magistrate's wife's face had turned completely dark.

Suppressing her anger, she ordered, "Someone come here."

Upon hearing the magistrate's wife speak, the onlookers waited to see how she would deal with the beast before them.

"Arrest all those troublemakers who just started the fight!"

The people were all stunned for a moment, looking at the magistrate's wife as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Madam Magistrate, you've got it wrong. You're not arresting us, but that beast lying on the ground."

The people stared in shock at the woman before them.

To everyone's surprise, the elegant and tidy county magistrate's wife was actually looking at the unconscious man lying on the ground with a sorrowful expression.

She picked him up tenderly, completely disregarding the bloodstains on his body.

Now the people present could finally understand that this man's continued arrogance was due to the protection of the county magistrate's wife.

The magistrate's wife held the man in front of her and murmured, "Little brother, wake up. I'll take you to see a doctor right away. Don't be afraid, your sister is here."

But the man, nestled in her arms, struggled to open his eyes but could no longer do so.

His head lolled to the side, and he died in the arms of the county magistrate's wife.

"No, no, you'll be alright. I'll definitely save you, little brother. Wake up."

No matter how much the woman cried and wailed, the person in her arms did not react at all.

With bloodshot eyes, she turned her head and looked at the surrounding people, then viciously ordered her men, "Men, arrest all these troublemakers!"

The people were terrified when they heard this and wanted to escape but were powerless to do so.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Just then, a thin old man with a goatee walked over, supported by Ying San and Yang Changfeng.

Rather than saying they helped him up, it would be more accurate to say that the magistrate was practically dragged there by them.

The woman showed no restraint upon seeing the newcomer.

Looking at the old man who had rushed over with an accusatory tone, she said, "Are you still going to protect them? They're the ones who killed Qi'er."
