I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 874: Take it together

Wang Shunxing watched Xiao Wu coming with the box, his eyes burning. As long as he got the box, the transaction would be complete, and their brothers would have nothing to do here.

As soon as Xiao Wu reached the edge of the forest, he paused in his steps. Looking at the officers and soldiers emerging around him, he subconsciously retreated to the carriage.

As soon as Cheng Qian saw this posture, he immediately retreated to the carriage and stared at the group of masked men with wary expressions.

 Officers and soldiers rushed out from all directions. Before Wang Shunxing and others could react, they were surrounded.

“Bah, today I want you to understand the consequences of offending grandpa?”

I don’t know how the black market took over this business, but it actually attracted the attention of the government officials.

Hearing Xiao Wu’s questioning, Liu Guangkuan suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

 The imperial court has always imposed severe penalties on the sale of illegal salt.

 The death penalty is imposed for armed gangs selling illicit salt. But there are also heavy rewards for officials who catch illegal salt gangs.

"What else can I do? I fought for them, and my head was scarred, but I'm still a good man after eighteen years."

As he spoke, the masked man roared angrily, his eyes widened, and he slashed at Cheng Qian viciously.

 When they saw the prisoners being escorted and the carts of goods in the middle of the team, they couldn't help but widen their eyes curiously.

　　　"Please rest assured, sir, that this is something that is within your scope of duties."

Looking at Liu Guangkuan’s evasive eyes, Xiao Wu curled his lips and sneered,

“Master Liu is right, they are indeed lawless gangsters. They know that salt is controlled by the government and cannot be bought and sold privately, but these people know the law and break the law, and their crime cannot be forgiven.”

 The officers and soldiers surrounded everyone. The leader got off his horse and walked quickly towards Xiao Wu. He bowed his hands and saluted.

 “I will see the Lord Zhizhou at the end.”

"Your Majesty, Zhizhou, is powerful, and the salt thieves are rampant. They raise prices wantonly and defraud the people. Please punish me severely."

It's better now, the Hongxing Gang is afraid of falling into a pit of fire.

Hearing Xiao Wu’s inquiry, Magistrate Liu glanced at the group of people behind him, his eyes flashed, and he smiled.

“The lower officials are frightened. Since Lord Zhizhou has ordered the arrest of people, they must be madmen with no law.”

With such mistakes in the county under his jurisdiction, whether the black veil above his head can be saved is another matter.

　Those who work in this line of work probably know this by heart, and sooner or later this will happen to them.

 “You impudent bitch, you dare to be disrespectful to my master.”

Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Cheng Qian kicked him on the knee. With a thud and the sound of cracking bones, Wang Shunxing knelt on the ground with a painful look on his face and did not get up.

Liu Guangkuan looked around with a dejected face, thinking about his final official fate, and his whole body seemed to be wilted.

 “Thank you for your hard work, County Lieutenant Zhao,”

Anyone who sells illegal salt without a certificate issued by the government is a salt thief.

Looking at Master Zhizhou riding in front, Magistrate Liu was stunned and shuddered uncontrollably.

The group of people entered the government office in a mighty manner. Xiao Wu gave an order and all the salt thieves were forced into the dungeon.

 “Gang leader, what should I do?”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Wu waving his hand. "Master Liu, there is no need to be so panicked. Do you know who these people I arrested are?"

When the team passed, many brave people followed behind to watch the excitement. By the time Magistrate Liu got the news and rushed over with his people, Xiao Wu had already reached Zhong Street.

I was shocked to see the army escorting the prisoners into the city. Many people stopped to watch and leaned on the street to whisper.

Someone shouted something in the crowd, which immediately aroused public outrage.

"Salt belongs to the people's livelihood and involves the vital interests of the people. Whoever violates the law is going against the court and sells private salt according to the laws of the Song Dynasty. What crime should be punished? Mr. Liu must know better than anyone else, right?"

“Fellow folks, please be patient. Several salt thieves have been captured. Once the case is heard, justice will be given to the folks.”

  Two a zero two: eight one zero six: two b: nine two zero zero: f eight eight three: f three c four: two nine seven three: one zero a zero

When the others saw the boss's actions, they also took out the weapons from their waists and started fighting directly with the officers and soldiers.

 County Lieutenant Zhao clasped his fists. Cheng Ye had already told him on the way here that he wanted to arrest a group of smuggling salt smugglers, so he naturally cooperated fully.

 The quantity reaches more than ten kilograms and one hundred sticks.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us. The price of salt is too high and we can't even afford it."

 A pair of men and horses pressed down the prisoner and pulled the salt truck back to the city in a mighty manner.

 In less than half a quarter of an hour, they were all defeated. Only the masked man was still fighting with Cheng Qian. When Cheng Ye rushed over, they were two against one before they captured Wang Shunxing and tied him up.

 With a dark face, he cursed fiercely at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu watched him listen with open ears, but ignored him and directly ordered,

However, there were too many officers and soldiers. There were only ten or twenty of them, and they were simply crushed.

　　When the people watching the excitement heard that all those caught were salt thieves, they all gritted their teeth in hatred.

Before they reached the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city noticed something strange. While sending people to the county government to report, they led the city gate captains to rush to the gate.

　　When they saw the token held by the herald, everyone was dumbfounded and stood aside to welcome Lord Zhizhou into the city.

Hearing the angry condemnation of the people around him, Xiao Wu cupped his hands.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Liu suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and his eyes turned black.

 During this period, it was already known to everyone that the magistrate was inspecting Liang County.

These **** know how to take advantage of the imperial court's loopholes and harm the people. He asked him to kill him directly to relieve his hatred.

 “Damn it, you dare to fool me?”

In the same way, local officials within the jurisdiction are directly dismissed from office. If the circumstances are serious, they will be exiled to a bitter and cold place for three years.

"Pull up the salt and follow me back to the city."

With that said, Wang Shunxing pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed towards Xiao Wu. Cheng Qian held the long sword in his hand and faced him directly.

 Xiaowu returned the gift,

"When we turn around, we have to trouble the county captain to bring these people into the city, put them in prison, and keep them under strict guard."

 After saying that, Xiao Wu looked at Liu Guangkuan seriously.

"Master Liu was so stunned that he didn't hurry up to lead the way."

 “Please make the decision, sir,”

Thinking of this, he immediately got off his horse. Because he was so anxious, all the hair on his head fell off.

Wang Shunxing opened his eyes in shock when he heard the names of the two people. He didn't expect that he would encounter a tough problem today.

 “Your Majesty Zhizhou, please.”

Unexpectedly, people were deploying troops and generals under his nose without telling him, and he also defeated the key criminal who was selling private salt.

Had the officers and soldiers not surrounded the people, someone might have thrown rotten vegetable leaves.

 It was because he was careless and he underestimated the enemy. He originally thought that Master Zhizhou was young and had nothing to fear. All he had to do was keep a close eye on him and not let him move around at will.

 All the prison guards were replaced by people brought by Zhao County Lieutenant and were strictly guarded.

Xiao Wu entered the lobby, sat behind the desk, looked at the trembling Magistrate Liu below, picked up the gavel,
