Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048 Meng Yunzheng Takes Action

However, County Magistrate Zhang reacted quickly and shouted, ”Take action.”

No sooner had County Magistrate Zhang’s words fallen, than the two guards standing upright behind the carriage rushed forward, heading straight for Ying Dong’s face.

County Magistrate Zhang sneered. She had come over just to find trouble; how could she possibly not bring two experts with her?

Ying Dong’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly stepped back two paces, narrowly avoiding a massive fist aimed directly at his head.

Shu Yu squinted his eyes, ”Ying Xi, go help your brother.”

”Yes.” Ying Xi drew the dagger from his waist and ran forward.

Who knew, just as he took a step, a clear voice sounded in his ear, ”Just protect your lady.”

Ying Xi was stunned. When he looked up, he saw Meng Yunzheng flash past him, darting forward, and with a kick, he sent Zhang Maolin flying. Then he joined the fray, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ying Dong against the two guards.

Ying Xi, ”...”

She looked at Shu Yu, who coughed lightly, ”Handsome.”

But why did he attack Zhang Maolin as soon as he arrived? This point is worth pondering.

With Meng Yunzheng’s addition, the outcome was predictable. Those two guards could only manage a draw against Ying Dong, let alone with someone even more formidable joining in.

It didn’t take long before the two guards could no longer withstand the assault and retreated repeatedly.

County Magistrate Zhang’s once smug expression changed. She didn’t expect that a little Village Chief with no power or influence coming from a rural family would have such experts by her side.

Moreover, she didn’t regard her as the county magistrate at all. It’s uncertain whether this woman is too ignorant or excessively daring.

However, since her side was clearly losing, County Magistrate Zhang stepped forward and addressed the onlookers, saying, ”Everyone present is a witness. Today, Monarch Lu Xiang has shown disrespect to this county magistrate. According to the laws of the Dasu dynasty, those who offend their superiors face penalties ranging from a slap or flogging to beheading as an example to others.”

The onlookers immediately started murmuring. How did it get to the point of beheading?

The Lu family also became anxious, but since Zhao Xi kept assuring them there was nothing to worry about, they could only suppress their anxiety.

County Magistrate Zhang coldly stared at Shu Yu, ”I initially only intended to give Monarch Lu Xiang a minor punishment as a warning, but she commanded her people to resist and even seriously injured my brother. With such audacity, she seems likely to attack this county magistrate as well. Such a reckless person is truly a menace. I wonder if anyone is available to take a trip to the county office to call over Jiangyuan County’s magistrate to arrest the villain. There will be a generous reward from this county magistrate.”

The crowd of onlookers were bewildered. After all, they had never experienced such an event before.

County Magistrate Zhang spoke so authoritatively, as if all the reasoning was on her side.

Indeed, from the back of the crowd, someone shouted, ”County Magistrate Zhang, I’ll go for you.” fr.e ewe.bno.vel .com

Ding Yuehua gritted her teeth, ”It’s that old hag again.” What is her relationship with this County Magistrate Zhang that she’s so eager to help?

County Magistrate Zhang raised her voice, ”Many thanks.”

Well then, if her subordinates can’t win, could it be that when Jiangyuan County’s magistrate arrives, Lu Shuyu would still dare to resist?

She didn’t believe that Lu Shuyu would be so brazen as to think her status as a Village Chief exempts her from fearing the authorities.

The crowd was stirred by County Magistrate Zhang’s words, with some gloating, some indifferent, and others looking quite worried.

But just as County Magistrate Zhang’s words ended, her two guards were kicked out, spat blood, and fell to the ground, unable even to get up.
