Chapter 47

The man looked to be in his forties, with a goat beard on his chin, a mole on the lower right cheek, and a middle finger-length hair growing on it, a pair of small downturned eyes, with a cunning and cruel light .

"Come here, bring the prisoner to the officer!"

The officers and soldiers agreed in unison, and immediately surrounded Ruan Xiangxiang and the others.

Ruan Xiangxiang frowned: "Why did you arrest us, what crime did we commit?"

"I am the county magistrate of Dongping County. You robbed and killed the shopkeeper Cao of the store, and even occupied our store. It is only right and proper for me to take you down."

Li Cui quickly explained: "My lord, we didn't kill shopkeeper Cao, we lived here, and we were actually entrusted by shopkeeper Cao to watch the store for him."

"Nonsense!" Li Huai, the county magistrate of Dongping County, said angrily: "The shopkeeper Cao has never been out of Dongping County these days. If it weren't for this official's old mother's birthday, he, as a nephew, would not have been there. I don’t know yet, but you have already killed him and taken over his shop.”

"My lord, what evidence do you have for saying that?" Ruan Xiangxiang asked neither humble nor overbearing.

"What more evidence do you need? They are not here. Now you are the ones occupying this shop. This is the evidence."

Li Huai said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Take it down!"

The officers and soldiers immediately surrounded and arrested Ruan Xiangxiang and his party.

At this time, how can Ruan Xiangxiang let them catch her?
But hard work is not enough, only outsmart.

Ruan Xiangxiang ignored those officers and soldiers and rushed towards Li Huai with a clear goal.

It is said that capturing the thief first captures the king, which is also practical for this group of officers and soldiers.

Li Huai never expected that Ruan Xiangxiang was not tall but could move so quickly.

Ruan Xiangxiang caught him without paying attention.

At this time, the officers and soldiers had already captured Li Cui and Ruan Sanbao, and Chu Munan was still dealing with the officers and soldiers.

"Stop!" Ruan Xiangxiang strangled Li Huai's neck and said loudly, "If you dare to move again, my aunt will break his neck immediately."

Li Huai's face turned pale with fright, but he still did not forget to show off his authority.

"Stinky girl, I'm an official of the imperial court, what crime should I be in for attacking an official of the imperial court?"

"I don't want to, my lord, but if you insist on accusing us of killing someone, if you are caught in prison, it will not be a death. Since they are all dead, it would be a good thing to drag your lord to go on the road with us."

"You!" Li Huai was very angry: "The troublemaker!"

He was still waiting to scold him, but Ruan Xiangxiang's hand tightened around his neck, and Li Huai was immediately speechless in fright.

"Munan, come here!" Ruan Xiangxiang shouted coldly, Chu Munan let go of an officer, and obediently walked behind Ruan Xiangxiang.

Ruan Xiangxiang said again: "Let them let go of my mother and my brother."

Li Huai winked at his subordinates.

The officer understood and pushed Li Cui and Ruan Sanbao in the direction of Ruan Xiangxiang.

Ruan Xiangxiang pulled Li Huai out of the door. She wanted to take Li Huai out of the city, but she never thought that a carriage would suddenly drive up from the opposite side.

Seeing that the carriage was about to collide with Li Cui and Ruan Sanbao, Ruan Xiangxiang hurriedly threw away Li Huai, turned around, embraced Li Cui and Ruan Sanbao, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

Li Huai got this opportunity, how could he let it go, he hurriedly called the officers and soldiers to come forward, and soon held Ruan Xiangxiang, Li Cui, and Ruan Sanbao who were hiding in a panic.

With a hidden weapon in his hand, Chu Munan was observing his position, how he could kill all the officers and soldiers with one blow.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Everyone looked and saw purple tassels hanging on the carriage, which looked very luxurious.

The door was pushed open, and the nobleman in purple stepped out of the carriage.
