The Magistrate saw the expressions of He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin and the other two. He let out an embarra.s.sed laugh. He had crossed the river with his own body and couldn"t even protect himself anymore. How could he possibly save them?

He himself did not know what punishment the Emperor would mete out to him.

Probably not any better?

He had already mentally prepared himself for all of this. When he returned to the city, he would arrange for his home so that he wouldn"t drag them down as much as possible.

"Master Magistrate, we were threatened. Please save us." Whether or not they could get out depended on the Magistrate. If the Magistrate did not help them, they were done for.

When the Magistrate saw He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin, and the others giving him looks, he understood what they meant. They were just using money to bribe him.

If it was the past, he would have been tempted a long time ago.

He really wanted to change his face and start over.

"Whether he is threatened or not, all of you have an idea." He looked at the four of them and snorted coldly. "There"s no need to waste your saliva. The emperor has made his decision."

Why did he have to do something bad to become the The Imperial Court Against Thieves? Wasn"t he going against the Emperor?

How could the Emperor let them go so easily?

It was impossible to think of such a thing without thinking.

The Emperor couldn"t wait to capture all of The Imperial Court Against Thieves, how could he let them go?

He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin, and the others also knew about what the lord of the Magistrate was thinking about. They looked at the lord of the Magistrate with despair in their eyes and begged him to speak up for them and lighten their punishment.

"I don"t have that much power to interfere with the emperor"s decision."

If he had the power, he wouldn"t have to worry about the Emperor"s punishment.

He helplessly shook his head to let He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin, and the others take care of themselves.

He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin, and the other three turned to look at Liu Zhimo, begging him to help them.

Liu Zhimo looked at them coldly, his mouth raised in a slight sneer, and said sarcastically, "Do you think I will let go of the people who want to kill me?" Those who had tried to put him to death turned their heads and begged him to help them. Did they take him for a fool? "I thought he would do something so stupid?" From the moment you led your The Imperial Court Against Thieves to attack the County Official"s House and kill him, the conclusion has already been decided. "

Either you die or I die, they can"t blame anyone else.

The first one who couldn"t help it anymore was w.a.n.g Yang, he extended his hand and pointed at Liu Zhimo"s nose while cursing, "You dog officer, you wish that the four of us could die immediately, so that you could grow up in Ninghua County alone." Ever since Liu Zhimo came to the Ninghua County, they had been restricted in every aspect, making them feel extremely aggrieved.

If he hadn"t gone too far, why would they want him dead?

Liu Zhimo is very clear about the mindset of being harmed by you. He looked at w.a.n.g Yang with a faint smile, and waited for him to get tired of cursing before he spoke softly.

"Over all these years, you know how you have suppressed the people of Ninghua County, even without me saying anything." His gaze sharpened as he swept his gaze across the four of them, "This official is unlike any other county magistrate. I will listen to your words and not work for you. Are you all unhappy?" Otherwise, I would not have spent money to invite the Unholy Killer to kill me. Unfortunately, I was lucky enough to escape this calamity.

Just based on this point, he would think of a way to deal with these four.

In the end, they were courting death before he could even make a move.

He really didn"t know what to say.

Hearing that, the expressions of He Zhao, w.a.n.g Lin, and the others changed. They didn"t expect Liu Zhimo to know that it was their idea.

Looks like Liu Zhimo had already known of their every move. It was them lying to themselves, what a pity.

"You don"t understand what the Lord Liu is saying?" w.a.n.g Yang replied stubbornly, "If you don"t want to help us, then just say it, don"t talk so much nonsense."

His heart was a little fl.u.s.tered. Was he really going to fail completely this time?

What if he was gone, what about his sons?

Were they implicated?

Thinking about that, his heart became even more anxious, his two hands grabbing onto the prison bars tightly, he stared at Liu Zhimo, his expression sinister to the point of wanting to tear him apart.

He had never hated someone so much before, and Liu Zhimo was the first person to do so.

If he was lucky enough to be able to get out, he would definitely not let Liu Zhimo go.

Even if they were going to perish together, they wouldn"t back down.

Liu Zhimo indifferently swept a glance at w.a.n.g Yang, not putting him in his heart, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at Fourth Uncle He, and asked why did he want to become a The Imperial Court Against Thieves?

He felt that Fourth Uncle He was not some brainless person, how could he be willing to be a The Imperial Court Against Thieves?

Fourth Uncle He let out a heavy sigh, looked up into Liu Zhimo"s eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "If this commoner said that it was forced, would sire believe this commoner? Will they release the commoner? " At first, he really did not know that the master behind his back was the The Imperial Court Against Thieves. But later, he found out that it was already too late and he could not go back.

He was also a smart person, but he had failed for a while!

This time, he would do his best to help Master eliminate Liu Zhimo, because he was afraid that Master would vent his anger on his family.

When he saw the troops that his master had sent, he felt even more calm that Liu Zhimo would not be able to escape their trap.

Unfortunately, they never thought that Liu Zhimo would have Liu Family soldiers by his side, and even more so, that he would have a mysterious black clothed man to help him.

If not for the fact that the black clothed man had run over halfway, it was very possible that Liu Zhimo would not have been able to escape this calamity.

It really was his life!

They had completely lost this time.

Liu Zhimo clasped his hands behind his back and coldly looked at Fourth Uncle He for a while before saying, "No, I won"t."

Besides, he did not see their faces as forced.

Fourth Uncle laughed, "What else is there to say?" I can"t let him out, so why are you spouting so much nonsense? Wasting time, wasting saliva.

"Lord Liu Liu Zhimo, you don"t need to beat us up, we won"t tell you." w.a.n.g Yang raised his chin slightly, and said those words complacently. He wanted to see Liu Zhimo"s crazy expression, but after looking for a while, he did not see any change in Liu Zhimo"s expression. This discovery made him so angry that his face turned blue.

Shouldn"t Liu Zhimo be worried?

They did not tell the truth, and he had no useful information to give the Emperor.

Why didn"t he respond?

Did he not care, or what?

Liu Zhimo glanced at him, then said indifferently. Just now, your wife came to the yamen …

Before he could finish his words, he intentionally kept them in suspense, making them anxious.

Sure enough, when the four heard it, they panicked and asked Liu Zhimo what happened to their wife.

"What would happen if you said something false in the court?" Liu Zhimo swept his eyes across the four of them, and saw their expressions, "Even if you all don"t want to think about it for yourselves, you all should think about it for your families." If they could be honest with themselves and reveal the ident.i.ty of the person behind them, it would be for the best.

He wouldn"t be willing to give up until he found the person behind him.

Besides, if there was an enemy hidden in the shadows, he would worry about whether that person would attack him or his family members day and night.

The best way was to catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Liu Zhimo, if you dare make a move on my wife, see how I"ll take care of you?" w.a.n.g Yang pointed angrily, "I, w.a.n.g Yang, will keep my promise." What"s the point of having a woman do your own thing?

This is not what a man should do.

However, he had forgotten that when he led people to attack the County Magistrate"s Estate earlier, he did not think to let Li Qingling and the others go.

Liu Zhimo gently peeled off w.a.n.g Yang"s fingers, raised his eyebrows, and said to him, "I have enough self-protection, how do you want to take care of me?" How can you deal with me? Hm?

How dare a person who couldn"t even protect himself speak so arrogantly in front of him?

Hearing that, w.a.n.g Yang was so angry that his entire body was trembling, and he shouted, Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go.

"When you were a human, how could I be afraid of you? How could I be afraid of you as a ghost?" Liu Zhimo"s words were spoken with quite a domineering tone, and with his scornful gaze, he angered w.a.n.g Yang even more, until his face turned green, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Liu Zhimo.

"You … "You …"

After breaking w.a.n.g Yang"s finger, Liu Zhimo frowned. He looked at him coldly and said, "Don"t you know that this official hates people who are pointed at by the nose the most?"

After taking a few deep breaths to calm his anger, w.a.n.g Yang asked Liu Zhimo while gritting his teeth. What did he want?

Liu Zhimo did not answer him. He glanced at the four of them, then turned to look at Magistrate, and asked him if he wanted to go to the interrogation room.

Magistrate smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright."

He could guess what Liu Zhimo wanted to do.

He also wanted to know who was behind these four people?

Liu Zhimo had Liu Family soldiers bring the four people to the interrogation room one by one, and he took Magistrate to the interrogation room first.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the Liu Family soldiers brought Fourth Uncle He up.

Liu Zhimo looked at him for a while, then asked him what he wanted to say.

Fourth Uncle He looked at Liu Zhimo calmly, and asked him what he wanted to know.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo laughed, saying that he was a smart person, and knew what he wanted to know?

Wasn"t it the person he wanted to know? What else was there to know?

"I"m stupid, I really don"t know what Lord Liu wants to know."

"If you can"t see the coffin, don"t cry." The Magistrate snorted, "The Lord Liu is kind, I want to give you a way out. Since you won"t make full use of it, then don"t blame others."

After saying that, Fourth Uncle He then turned to say that Liu Zhimo did not need to be that kind.

He did not believe that He Tao could bear the heavy punishment.

Sometimes, a bit of force was needed.

Liu Zhimo laughed, and looked at Fourth Uncle He with a deep look in his eyes. If necessary, he would be ruthless.

He was not a kind person. He would not be unable to kill him.

"He Tao, I will give you one more chance. Are you really going to continue acting dumb?" He paused before continuing, "There are some things, some people, that aren"t worth for you to wholeheartedly defend. I believe that you are well aware of it."

Since things had come to this, why hide it from that person? It wasn"t like that person would come to save him?
