After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

58 The Local Tyrant

This Young Master Guo was used to being arrogant and domineering. Jin City was his father’s territory, and the Lieutenant who guarded the city was his uncle. That made him think that this was his world.

The shopkeeper didn’t dare to disobey Young Master Guo, so he hurriedly sent two waiters to follow him. After sending the young master back to the mansion, he sent a waiter to invite Doctor Liang, a famous physician in Jin City. The scion was in so much pain that he couldn’t stand up. He didn’t know if his intestines were ruptured.

‘That girl looked so thin, but how could she be so strong?’

Su Qing left the boutique with the guard. The guard wanted to invite her back to the relay station. A strong dragon could not suppress a snake in its own territory. Once they entered the relay station, no one would dare to harm them.

However, Su Qing had not bought the things she wanted yet, and she could not be intimidated by a mere Young Master Guo. She left the clothing shop and walked towards the fabric shop. The two guards did not dare to go too far and followed closely behind.

It wasn’t fun to be followed around, so Su Qing bought two pieces of cotton cloth for her undergarments. The cotton cloth was white and soft.

The other material was silk, which was used by rich ladies to make their undergarments. However, Su Qing didn’t like it. Silk didn’t absorb water well and was not as comfortable as cotton.

After buying some cotton, she left the fabric shop and went to the grocery store to buy needle and thread. To make riding boots, she had to use strong hemp thread and large needles. In addition to these, she also bought some things when she saw that they were useful.

Ji Xiaoying had been panicking the entire time. Her right eyelid was twitching. She pulled Su Qing’s hand and whispered, “Sister, let’s go back. I’m so scared.”

“Yes.”

Su Qing nodded when she saw Ji Xiaoying’s fear. She had bought most of the stuff she needed anyway, so they could go back. After she sent Xiaoying back, she would look for a Chinese medicine shop to sell the musk.

As soon as Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying came out of the grocery store, they saw that the streets were surrounded by soldiers. A general was riding on a horse, holding a trident in his hand. He pulled the reins of his horse and pattered back and forth outside the grocery store. When he saw Su Qing and the others come out, the general pointed the trident at Su Qing.

“You were the one who injured my nephew?”

“You deserve to be beaten for teasing a commoner girl.”

Su Qing’s face was cold as she looked fearlessly at the mighty general. The surrounding people saw that the Lieutenant of the city was here to arrest someone and ran away in fear. The vendors also quickly packed their things.

The boss of the wonton stall sighed as he looked at Su Qing, who was surrounded by the Army. Such a good girl, but she was going to be defiled by that bastard again. The government in Jin City was corrupt, and there were no laws.

The general thought that Su Qing would be so frightened that she would kneel and beg for mercy. He didn’t expect her to not only be fearless in the face of danger, but also say that his nephew deserved to be beaten.

He shouted in anger and pointed his trident at Su Qing, “Who do you think you are? You dare to hit my nephew?”

“Cut the crap, come over if you have the ability.”

Su Qing could not be bothered to listen to his threats anymore. She ordered coldly. It had been a long time since she had killed someone. Today, she wanted to see blood. As for the consequences of killing someone, she was not afraid at all. It was just being hunted down and killed as many as they came. There was nothing to be afraid of.

The two guards saw that the situation was not good, so they sent one back to report to Master Qin. The other guard took out his rank four guard sign and walked to the lieutenant’s horse with a cold expression on his face. He raised the sign for the Lieutenant to see and questioned sternly, “The city guards actually entered the city without permission!?! They’re ignoring the law and are courting death!”

According to the rules of the Great Xia Kingdom, the city guards were not allowed to enter the city to harass the citizens. Therefore, he had a good reason to question them.

Furthermore, a fourth-rank armed guard was a rank higher than the commander of the city-guarding Commander-in-Chief, so he could control them.

“I entered the city to catch the murderer who assassinated the county magistrate’s son. I didn’t enter the city without permission,”

“The Lieutenant on his horse didn’t care about the guard at all. How dare you, a guard from the capital, give me orders in my territory?”

“The constables will catch the murderer. You’ve broken the rules by leaving the place without permission. You should leave now.”

The guard gave the order in a dignified manner, but the Lieutenant laughed in disdain.

“I’ve caught a fugitive of the Imperial court. If you continue to protect her, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The moment he said that, the soldiers immediately surrounded the guards and Su Qing. Ji Xiaoying was so scared that she was trembling. She held Su Qing’s hand tightly and asked her in a sobbing tone, “Sister, can we leave today?”

“Yes, we can.”

Su Qing told her with certainty that there were only a dozen or so officers present, and they were all drunkards. Even the lieutenant’s body had been hollowed out by the over indulgence in wine and women. She was confident that she could kill all of them.

After killing them, snatching their horses, and taking Xiaoying out of Jin City, no one would be able to catch her once she entered the deep mountains. Su Qing was good at setting up traps to kill people, and she didn’t even care about thousands of troops.

“Miss Su, miss Ji, I’ll hold them back and you guys run. As long as we return to the relay station, they won’t dare to chase us in.”

The relay station was the place where the officials of the Imperial court lived. Generally, as long as they had not lost their minds, they would not dare to go there to capture people.

“Don’t let a single one go. There are fugitives of the Imperial court here. Kill them all.”

Since they had fallen out, the Lieutenant did not want the guards to leave alive. He had already sent people to hunt down the guard who had left earlier. He did not want to let a single one of them go.

“You’re lying. I’m a fourth-rank armed Imperial Guard. You have no right to arrest me.” contemporary romance

The guard pulled out his steel knife and stood in front of Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying to protect them as he shouted at the Lieutenant.

At this moment, he also understood that this Lieutenant in front of him was trying to disrupt the public’s attention and kill him in the name of catching a fugitive.

“Men, capture them and kill them without mercy.”

The Lieutenant didn’t give him a chance to speak again. He ordered his soldiers, and of course, those soldiers listened to him. Although they knew what was going on, no matter how high the official’s rank was, as long as he didn’t let them out of Jin city alive, no one would dare to disclose the news. It wasn’t the first time they did this, and it worked every time.

The commoners didn’t think so much and thought that they were really catching a fugitive. They could only hide far away and watch the show.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over with their swords raised. Su Qing pulled over the bamboo poles of the nearby vendors and was ready to fight.

But before she could do anything, Old Master Qin came with three other guards. The guard who had gone to report the news was injured.

The arrival of the three guards was like adding wings to a tiger. They drew their swords and rushed towards the soldiers, regrouping with the guards from before.

The four of them could easily defeat a dozen soldiers, and the Lieutenant decided to take the lead himself. Su Qing swung the bamboo pole in his hand and hit the hooves of the lieutenant’s horse, breaking the horse’s legs and throwing the Lieutenant off the horse. The guard stepped forward and pressed a steel knife against the lieutenant’s neck, scaring him into begging for mercy, “Don’t kill me. I’m an official of the Imperial court. If you kill me, you’ll be breaking the law.”

“Men, take him down. I’m going to the prefecture office of Jin city.”

Old Master Qin’s face was as dark as water. He ordered his men to tie up the Lieutenant and brought the guards and Su Qing to Jin city’s government office.

He didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but he had to meddle in today’s matter. He had to get rid of the evil for the people of Jin City.

Some of the brave commoners were stunned. They wondered, ‘What is going on? the Lieutenant had been captured? What is that old man doing? Is there going to be hope in Jin City?’
