Chapter 733

~10 min read 1,936 words

After hearing these words, Ying Mo knew that the other party truly had a heart of gratitude, but Ying Mo was not doing this today for the sake of repayment.

Therefore, facing this situation, he was not moved at all; instead, he felt particularly helpless. He simply did not need the other party to treat him this way.

Subsequently, he spoke up: "That is unnecessary. I certainly do not need you. If you want to follow me,"

"there is only one way: help me kill people."

· ·····Begging for flowers· ··

Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly became somewhat frightened.

After all, she was just an ordinary, decent citizen; how could she possibly help kill people? So, at this moment, she shook her head and then immediately cast a glance at Ying Mo.

Discovering that Ying Mo's eyes carried a sense of unyielding arrogance, she instantly dared not say anything more.

She ran off into the distance. Seeing this, Ying Mo could not help but reveal a hint of a smile.

However, from these events, Ying Mo could also tell that the local County Magistrate was truly very wealthy, and that the Magistrate's son could actually give away fifty taels just like that.

Coupled with the fact that the local people were used to being bullied, this Magistrate was truly no good. After realizing this, Ying Mo decided not to let the local County Magistrate off the hook.

As long as he could confirm this matter, Ying Mo would directly kill the other party. Of course, under the current circumstances, Ying Mo still had to wait for evidence.

After all, Ying Mo did not believe what he had seen; he still needed accurate evidence. Otherwise, arriving at a county town in this border region

and killing the local County Magistrate would, in any case, not count as a good deed.

Therefore, at this moment, Ying Mo prepared to wait for Wu Mian to return before making further plans.

When night fell, Wu Mian was seen returning. Wu Mian had been particularly anxious along the way.

After returning, he hurriedly gulped down a bowl of water, and then he was heard saying to Ying Mo: "Young Master, I have finally investigated everything clearly today."

"I snuck into the County Magistrate's accounting room today and conducted a careful investigation. I discovered that they indeed have problems."

379. Solving problems, ambiguous! (Begging for subscriptions!)

"And they definitely swallowed the military pay of those fallen soldiers!"

After hearing this, Ying Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he already understood the matter. It seemed that this situation was exactly as he had imagined.

Moreover, since Wu Mian had already carefully investigated the matter, there certainly could be no mistake. Thinking of this, Ying Mo felt even more furious.

However, it was already late, and Ying Mo did not want to alert the enemy. He prepared to investigate thoroughly the next day.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the County Magistrate's son returned and told the Magistrate about the incident.

The County Magistrate, of course, "957" did not take it to heart. He thought it was normal for his son to be beaten after committing so many misdeeds outside.

Moreover, his eyes were now tightly fixed on money, so he was not panicked about his son—who was not his only one—and did not even want to deal with it.

Furthermore, on this day, he was counting money in his own courtyard. It was already late at night, yet he still felt somewhat troubled.

He was heard saying: "Why hasn't the pension for the village in the east been issued yet? I'm in a rush to get that money."

Upon hearing this, the accountant beside him had a strange look in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing, because he knew the Magistrate had been doing such things for more than a day or two.

The other party had already committed many misdeeds; even if he pointed them out, the other party would not wake up. So, at this moment, he said nothing more.

After all, at the very beginning, he had actually spoken about this aspect.

At that time, the other party did not adopt his advice and even stated that if he continued to speak, he would be punished.

Therefore, facing such a situation, the accountant had no choice but to play deaf and dumb, as if he were unrelated to the matter.

After all, people always want to protect themselves, so at this moment, he also wanted to protect himself and was unwilling to involve himself in this matter.

But at this moment, he suddenly spoke to the County Magistrate: "I feel that the account book is a bit strange, as if it has been flipped through by someone."

"I feel that one of the account books was facing outward, but when I came to check it today, I found it was facing inward. I feel something is not quite right."

Hearing these words attracted the Magistrate's attention. One must know that although every action the Magistrate took was a major one,

it did not mean he could handle everything perfectly. So, at this moment, he suddenly became somewhat panicked.

Even though he was the emperor of this local county, there was ultimately a real emperor, so he also had people he feared.

He immediately said: "I say, you've followed me for so long, don't drop the ball on this matter."

"This kind of joke cannot be made. Either it is or it isn't. Aren't you just adding to my troubles by saying these ambiguous things?"

Upon hearing this, the accountant became panicked and immediately said: "I really feel this way."

"Of course, it is also possible that my old eyes are dim."

Hearing this, the County Magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, although at this moment, he was still very uneasy in his heart.

But clearly, even if he was uneasy, he could not do anything now; after all, the matter had already developed to this point.

Facing such a situation, he also became particularly helpless. He muttered to himself: "I'll eat for two more years and then stop..."

Upon hearing this, the accountant raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, because it was not the first time the other party had said such things.

And the next day, at noon.

Ying Mo spoke directly to Gao Jianli: "I won't go today. You go and see what his attitude is. I'll come over later."

Ying Mo said in a deep voice. After all, the effect of Gao Jianli going was the same as Ying Mo going. Letting Gao Jianli go

was to avoid alerting the enemy. After all, since they already knew what the other party had done, they naturally knew what the other party was doing.

So Ying Mo naturally did not need to rush over; he was not in a hurry regarding this matter.

If Ying Mo went to inquire, it would arouse the other party's vigilance.

Gao Jianli agreed directly to this question, and then Ying Mo went directly with the other party to the government office.

When Ying Mo just arrived at the government office, he let Gao Jianli go in to inquire. At this time, the County Magistrate 1.2 was staying inside, looking very relaxed.

Because the County Magistrate basically did not need to do anything every day, but lay here every day. Even if he encountered a case that needed to be judged, he would call his subordinates to do it.

And there were several people massaging his legs beside him, looking very comfortable.

However, just at this moment, Gao Jianli was heard walking up to the door and asking: "Is the County Magistrate in? I want to see the County Magistrate."

Upon hearing this, the soldier standing by the door indicated: "I need to go in and ask. What is your business?"

Gao Jianli shook his head upon hearing this: "Just say that Gao Jianli has arrived, or say that Ying Mo has arrived!"

380. Local County Magistrate, wouldn't that be beautiful! (Begging for subscriptions!)

When the guard at the door heard these two names, he actually did not recognize who these two people were.

Because his knowledge was shallow, and he did not know much about these things.

So at this moment, he foolishly went directly to report to the local County Magistrate.

Originally, the County Magistrate was still lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, constantly basking in the sun.

The whole person was very leisurely and carefree, although there had always been a knot in his heart, and he had been thinking about whether the account book had been moved.

But then he turned to another thought: if it had really been moved, then the person who moved it would definitely come to find trouble with him.

Since no one had come to find trouble with him until now, it was very likely that the other party was not coming. So he thought he was safe and sound because of this.

The whole person felt relieved and started basking in the sun 15. But just at this moment, a soldier from outside was seen walking in.

He spoke to him: "My lord, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He says his name is Gao Jianli."

Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate was somewhat confused, because he really did not know who Gao Jianli was, or rather, he did not remember at the moment.

He said: "What Gao or Gao Jianli, drive him out. How come there are still people pretending to be unknown names to come and rely on me these days?"

"Isn't this courting death? Don't let him come over, let him get lost."

At this moment, the County Magistrate spoke very arrogantly. After all, he was the true local emperor in this area.

His speech and actions were naturally arrogant to the extreme. But at this moment, the soldier said helplessly: "By the way, he also said another name."

"It seems to be called Ying Mo. If you, County Magistrate, feel there is no problem, I will go out and drive them away. He came alone."

After hearing this, the County Magistrate originally thought the matter was somewhat funny, that inexplicable people dared to come and rely on him.

But in the next second, he suddenly muttered to himself. He felt that the name Ying Mo sounded wrong no matter how he heard it.

Finally, as he muttered to himself, his pupils suddenly widened, and his eyes carried a hint of confusion.

He was heard blurting out at this moment: "Ying Mo?"

Although this County Magistrate was already very arrogant in this area and thought he was a local emperor, this did not mean he was the real emperor.

He knew that there must be someone above him. If he committed some minor offenses, he could naturally do whatever he wanted, but if he committed some major offenses, that would not work.

Especially when he heard this name, the more he heard it, the more wrong it felt. Wasn't the other party someone from the very top?

That was much bigger than the big official he had imagined!

Thinking of this, his heart instantly felt incomparably afraid.

What was going on? Subsequently, he immediately invited Gao Jianli in. He was heard saying to Gao Jianli: "Those were just my subordinates earlier."

"They don't know you, so there's no help for it, but this also blames their shallow knowledge. I am truly sorry, but if you had said the name Ying Mo as soon as you arrived..."
