Chapter 543 Collusion between officials and bandits
Li Hetong who said this was sweating for him, this is a real warrior, didn't you see that Jiang Yichen's face changed when he said Gu Manxiu just now?

This is definitely jumping wildly on Jiang Yichen's thunder point, so that Jiang Yichen now really wants to go down and finish him with a knife, and it is at this time that Gu Manxiu grabbed Jiang Yichen's hand.

"Do not impulse."

After hearing what he said just now, Gu Manxiu knew that there would definitely be more people involved behind this matter, so she absolutely cannot just let him go now.

Being dragged by Gu Manxiu, Jiang Yichen finally regained some sanity, "I wasn't impulsive, it's just that some things he said made me very upset."

Li Hetong on the other side also came out to smooth things over, "It's better to have one less thing than one more thing, let's forget about this matter, isn't Gu Manxiu also has nothing to do?"

What Jiang Yichen said made Jiang Yichen really want to beat him up, but he still cared about the other people around him, Jiang Yichen just gave him a faint look, but the look was already full of warning.

Let Li Hetong know that this time Jiang Yichen might have to deal with it to the end, and it seems that they will have another difficulty on their way back to Beijing.

Originally, the bandit thought that they must be scared this time, but unexpectedly, he would be tied up the next moment. He looked at Jiang Yichen in disbelief, wondering if he heard it wrong.

"I told you, my brother-in-law is the county magistrate here, if you dare to do something to me, my brother-in-law will definitely not let you go."

Jiang Yichen snorted coldly, "Then I'm really afraid that your brother-in-law won't do anything. You don't really think that we came here casually, so we have no background?"

Immediately, the bandit thumped in his heart, thinking that he must have offended some important person, but they didn't look like officials in their clothes.

Before he could continue to say anything, Gu Manxiu had already knocked someone unconscious with a knife in his hand. This could be regarded as Gu Manxiu's retaliation for his attitude just now.

Li Hetong felt a pain in his neck when he looked at it, he should be thankful that Gu Manxiu didn't mean to do anything to him, otherwise his neck might really be in trouble.

A group of people continued on the road, but the bandits who were hiding aside had already reported that their boss had been arrested by a group of traders.

Magistrate Wang frowned, "What are they all dressed up for?"

The bandit thought about it carefully, "It's just an ordinary businessman's dress, do you think we are going to rescue the boss now?"

At this time, he dared to kidnap his younger brother, which was somewhat capable.

However, County Magistrate Wang didn't dare to act rashly. You must know that many nobles have come to this area recently.

"Wait a minute, they should be entering the city soon."

At that time, I will find another opportunity to clean them up. If it is really an ordinary caravan, it will be very simple to clean up.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Wang felt relieved, there shouldn't be such a coincidence that he met a nobleman by himself.

When Gu Manxiu and the others entered the city, they felt that someone was staring at them, probably someone they let go on purpose to report.

"It seems that the matter of the county magistrate is almost true."

In fact, Gu Manxiu hoped that this was just a rumor, but according to the current situation, the fact that these people were after them is already the best evidence.

Gu Manxiu couldn't help sighing that there are still many corrupt officials in this imperial court, and there will probably be many people like County Magistrate Wang in the future.

Sure enough, they had just arrived at the inn when the magistrate Wang came to invite them to have a gathering.

"I don't know when a county magistrate will invite passing business travelers to dinner."

Jiang Yichen looked at them coldly, and the servants felt great pressure, which was even more oppressive than their county magistrate, but if they didn't invite back at this time, they would definitely be punished.

So now we can only bite the bullet and tell them to go as soon as possible, "Our county magistrate said that as long as you go, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

It seems that he wants to seek reconciliation with them first. If they are not sensible, he will do it directly.

After realizing this, Gu Manxiu felt that this matter became more and more interesting.

"I didn't expect County Magistrate Wang to have such an idea. It's really surprising."

Gu Manxiu couldn't help but feel weird.

But the person on the other side obviously didn't understand what Gu Manxiu meant, and only thought that she was a woman, so she shouldn't have any abilities.

So he moved out the identity of County Magistrate Wang, "If you don't go, County Magistrate Wang will be angry, and it will be bad if everyone makes a mess."

Hearing this, Jiang Yichen's expression became even colder, but he didn't expect that he would be threatened by a small county magistrate.

But I also know that this matter is to put a long line to catch big fish, and they must go this time.

So in the end, he agreed with a look of fear, making the boys think that his performance just now was their illusion.

After all, no one would change so quickly. When they went back, they told the county magistrate that they were timid, "When they heard your name, they didn't dare to stop coming. I guess this time things will work."

"Ah."

County magistrate Wang is very satisfied with his prestige. At this moment, what he wants to do the most is to let these people know how powerful he is. It is said that they have a lot of goods, and it is enough for him to use some of them for a while.

This is really a big fish.

Both sides thought that the other was the fish, but they didn't know that Jiang Yichen had already started to secretly investigate the matter of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate Wang dared to be so arrogant, it must have something to do with his background. After all, he is not the only official in this city.

Gu Manxiu saw that Jiang Yichen seemed to be very concerned about this matter, but she didn't bother him, and only hoped that this matter would be resolved as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Li Hetong felt that Jiang Yichen was meddling in his own business, "Such things happen in every city, so why do you need to get involved? Even if His Majesty knows about it, he won't think of you, and there will be many more People say you're not human."

"Oh? Master Li thinks it's normal for officials and bandits to collude?"

Jiang Yichen's eyes were opened by Li Hetong's words, if all the officials took such things as normal, there would only be more such things in the future, and Jiang Yichen would never agree.

Originally, during this period of time, Jiang Yichen's attitude toward Li Hetong had changed a little bit, but looking at it now, it seems that Li Hetong still hasn't changed anything.
